Chapter 102
Zhao Gao took this opportunity to report every major event in this memorial!
"It is not just the Xiongnu invading!"
"The Nanchong tribe of the Baiyue tribes has also sent two hundred thousand troops to invade Nanling!"
"And Tuguan!"
"Tuguan's fifty thousand troops have invaded the Great Wall!"
064. Destroy Qin? Ying Zheng's Rage! Who dares to try destroying Qin!
(PS: Here, Tuguan just wants to take Princess Princess Yushu for a thrill; the Ying Zheng here is absolutely not the mythological Ying Zheng, so I'm explaining to avoid misunderstanding!)
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Zheng's eyes instantly widened!
His face was filled with shock, filled with disbelief!
Almost immediately, he snatched the memorial from Zhao Gao's hand!
But in that first moment, he did not look at the content of the memorial!
Instead, he looked for the private seal of the Luo Wang intelligence personnel on the paper!
And the ink marks on this paper, and so on!
Checking the private seal was to determine who sent the intelligence!
Checking the ink marks was to confirm this memorial was not written on the spot!
Quickly, he finished reading!
The private seal was genuine!
This was an excellent intelligence officer of Luo Wang!
For these years, he had been lying in wait at the Great Wall, responsible for monitoring the situation in the army!
Moreover, the handwriting was also his handwriting; there could be no falsehood in this!
As for the ink marks... although this could not determine exactly when it was written.
But it could be roughly seen that it was not written in the last two days!
Moreover, he noticed that on the bamboo tube beside Zhao Gao responsible for holding the memorial, there was also a wax-seal formation!
And it was still stained with dust!
Everything, everything indicated this memorial was real, not forged!
And after seeing all this, he looked at the content on the memorial!
For a moment, he trembled all over with rage!
The Xiongnu!
The Xiongnu actually dared to attack Great Qin at this time?
The Nanchong tribe under the Baiyue tribes also dared to attack Great Qin?
Even Tuguan!
Tuguan!
A small state like Tuguan actually dared to send fifty thousand people to harass Great Qin?
Arrogant!
How could it be just arrogant?
It was simply pushing its luck!
Did General Meng Tian not fight the Xiongnu hard enough?
Or did I let Zhao Tuo defend Nanling and not attack the various Baiyue tribes, leaving them without pressure?
Now, even a Tuguan dares to push its luck?
Ying Zheng was enraged to the point of madness!
But he was after all the First Emperor; how could his mind be comparable to that of an ordinary person?
Quickly, he realized something was wrong!
The Xiongnu attacking Great Qin was still understandable!
After all... just the year before last, General Meng Tian sent a memorial saying the current Xiongnu king was a ruthless character; shortly after ascending the throne, he destroyed the ten largest tribes on the steppe.
In these two years, he has even developed the steppe 17, encouraging the steppe people to raise more cattle, sheep, and warhorses.
Under his rule, the Xiongnu have already shown a powerful momentum!
The Xiongnu taking advantage of Great Qin's current internal chaos to harass the border and test the waters was indeed nothing!
The Baiyue side is much the same!
Although it is called Baiyue here, this is just a general term for a tribal group!
It is a tribal alliance formed by numerous tribes in the south!
And within this alliance, it includes the Baiyue State, the Nanyue State, and the Nanchong tribe, and so on!
The Baiyue State was destroyed by the State of Han even before the unification of the world!
The Nanyue State, after the unification of the world, was even more destroyed by the State of Qin!
But even so, the strength of Baiyue remained formidable!
Even if it could not compare to the Xiongnu, the difference was not too great!
Taking advantage of this opportunity to test the waters seems understandable!
But... the problem still lies with Tuguan!
Tuguan!
What kind of place is that?
A speck of land not even as big as one commandery of the Great Qin.
A tiny state that can only survive squeezed between the two great powers of the Great Qin and the Xiongnu.
Year after year, they not only pay tribute to the Great Qin, but also send slaves to the Great Qin, begging the Great Qin not to attack them!
Last year, to show his loyalty, King Tu'an even wanted to send the most beautiful princess from their land to be his concubine.
But now... he dares to attack the Great Qin?
Has he gone mad?
"There's a ghost!"
"There must be a ghost in this!"
"Zhao Gao, I think someone is definitely stirring up trouble, with these three states attacking the Great Qin at the same time!"
"This person's mind is poisonous; they are no longer thinking about helping me ascend the throne again, nor even about restoring the feudal system, but rather... rather they want to destroy my Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng's gaze turned icy cold; at that moment, boundless killing intent radiated from his entire body!
Zhao Gao trembled and shook in fear; at that moment, he dared only to kneel on the ground, unable to speak!
But though he said nothing, Ying Zheng murmured to himself, "Ah, I see!"
"Someone is plotting to destroy Qin!"
"Using Ying Su's matter of making the nobles pay taxes to incite the nobles to send troops, and then allying with Tu'an, the Xiongnu, and the Baiyue, getting them to all send troops together—this is a complete plan to annihilate my Great Qin!"
Ying Zheng's gaze grew even colder.
Those eyes stared fixedly into the distance; he wanted to know who this person was, to be so utterly poisonous.
But... he couldn't think of it, he simply couldn't think of it!
The opponent hid too deeply; even before this, he himself had not felt the slightest alarm!
Even upon learning of the Xiongnu and Baiyue causing trouble, he had felt nothing amiss!
Only when he saw that even the tiny state of Tu'an dared to send troops to attack the Great Qin did he sense something was wrong!
In normal times, even if Tu'an had ten thousand guts, it would not dare to say a single impolite word to the Great Qin!
Qin commoners passing through Tu'an could even spit in the faces of their Tu'an soldiers!
Even so, their Tu'an did not dare to show the slightest temper!
They feared the Qin state would find an excuse to attack Tu'an!
Now, unless they were being instigated by someone, or had received someone's promise, how could they dare to brandish weapons before the Great Qin?
They have gone mad!
There's a ghost!
There must be a ghost!
