Chapter 902

This also gave them hope for life, so they all began to discuss it intensely.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick,

the choice of the messenger was finally decided.

Hada was sent back.

This heavy responsibility fell on Hada's shoulders.

The generals still had a lot of trust in Hada's ability to get things done.

With Hada going back, the matter was at least half-accomplished.

They believed that before long, they would also be able to return to the alliance tribes.

The Qin Ruishi set up camp on the spot.

After Meng Tian and the others learned of Touman's identity,

they added many more men to patrol.

After all, Touman's identity was too special.

Who knew how many Xiongnu reinforcements would come to rescue him?

Precautions were indispensable.

Even though their three hundred thousand border troops had powerful combat strength, they dared not let their guard down.

These defenses were essential.

In a temporary camp tent,

Meng Tian and the other generals were all gathered together.

At this moment, everyone looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye, who was sitting on a reclining chair in the middle.

This reclining chair had been brought from Xianyang.

It had to be said, it was truly comfortable to lie on, just like sleeping.

One could also adjust the angle of the backrest; after lying on it once, one wanted to do it again.

The experience was many times more comfortable than a grandmaster's chair.

"Your Highness, isn't the life of the Xiongnu Chanyu a bit too worthless?"

"His youngest son, Maoshi, could be traded for fifty-two thousand warhorses."

"Shouldn't a dignified Xiongnu Chanyu be traded for three or five hundred thousand warhorses?"

Deputy General Zhao was a bit unable to understand.

He felt that His Highness lacked consideration.

This price was too low.

Everyone present looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with anticipation.

Let alone Deputy General Zhao's confusion, everyone present couldn't understand this move.

It was just that Deputy General Zhao had spoken first, so they just needed to listen quietly.

"Do you all think so too?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye glanced at everyone.

Seeing their puzzled expressions and a hint of thirst for knowledge,

Han Xin and the others looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

"We ask Your Highness to enlighten us."

"We ask Your Highness to enlighten us."

Among those present, Han Xin was the most uneasy; after all, he was the one who had worked hard to capture the person.

Originally, he didn't want to release the tiger back to the mountains, but His Highness's decision left him with no choice.

If he had to release him, so be it, but for a dignified Xiongnu Chanyu to only be traded for one hundred thousand warhorses,

that was truly too little; it would have been better to trade for more.

This question had puzzled Han Xin for a long time, and he had never gotten an answer.

Now that there was an opportunity to get an explanation, he was naturally eager to know.

"Touman won't live much longer."

Ying Ying Zi Ye said quietly, and his body straightened up a bit.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

What did these words mean?

Could it be that His Highness had never thought about releasing Touman?

But rather wanted to trick them out of some warhorses before killing him?

But His Highness had never been such a person.

His Highness acted openly and honorably, and they had never seen him do such things.

In their hearts, His Highness was a man of his word, a man whose word was as solid as a nail.

This style of action didn't seem like something His Highness would do.

This left them even more unable to figure it out.

"Does Your Highness want to kill Touman?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"If this were to spread, wouldn't it damage Great Qin's reputation?"

"The method is good, it's just that it seems a bit inappropriate."

"It's a bit unscrupulous, but it doesn't matter; that's how it is on the battlefield."

"If the other party had the chance, they would definitely do the same to us."

"Can that be the same? We are a land of etiquette, while the other party is uncivilized barbarians."

"If they do this, it's understandable if it spreads; after all, we, Great Qin, are a strong nation, while they have become the disadvantaged group."

"But if we do this, we might be labeled with a big hat that we can't shake off."

"Are we afraid of what people say in war? What is there to fear? The weak are meant to be beaten."

"It's not their fault for being weak; the fault lies in the fact that they are weak and still dare to harass our Great Qin!"

"Do they really think our Great Qin can't deal with them?"

The generals began to discuss loudly.

Some argued until their faces were red and their necks were thick.

Some agreed while others opposed, each holding their own views.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at this group of people speechlessly.

Overthinking is truly terrifying...

"Stop, stop, stop."

"It's not what you think."

"The Great Qin Empire is a land of etiquette; there is no need to engage in these dirty tricks."

"There is no need to use these underhanded methods; we have always just beaten the other party until they submit."

"We won't touch Touman; just use him to trade for warhorses."

"However, the chance of this is not high; we might not even be able to trade for warhorses."

"But it doesn't matter; even if we can't trade for warhorses, just release him."

Ying Ying Zi Ye sighed quietly; he truly hadn't expected Han Xin to capture Touman here.

It would have been better to capture Prince Modu.

As for Touman, he would sooner or later be replaced by Prince Modu.

And looking at the time and the direction of events, that day was not far off.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by not being able to trade for warhorses?"

"Why not kill him, and how will he die?"

Meng Tian's brows were tightly locked; at this moment, he couldn't keep up with His Highness's thinking.

However... it seemed he had never been in sync with His Highness's thinking.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian felt truly ashamed.

The other generals also looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye curiously.

These words completely aroused their thirst for knowledge.
