Chapter 743

~2 min read 395 words

Qin Mu had no worries and did not mind telling the Great Tang envoys some secrets.

In his view, in the face of absolute strength, even if they knew these things, they would be completely unable to resist.

The only smart thing to do was to submit to Great Qin and not dream of challenging it!

"Chancellor Fang, Old Li, I wonder if you have heard that the Harsha Empire has many war elephants? Their war elephants are seen by neighboring countries as a powerful, irresistible branch of the military."

They were originally delicious delicacies!

How could Li Er and Fang Xuanling not have heard of them?

They were counting on the Harsha Empire's war elephants to bring some trouble to Great Qin.

It was just that Qin Mu actually also knew the Harsha Empire had many war elephants.

Hadn't their strength already been exposed?

Li Er feigned ignorance.

"Is that so? There is such a powerful military branch? Then does Great Qin still intend to attack the Harsha Empire?"

Fang Xuanling took a deep look at Li Er, admiring his acting skills in pretending to be ignorant.

Qin Mu, however, was light and breezy.

"War elephants are powerful, but they have many weaknesses. For example, they fear fire, and they fear having their tendons cut."

"And the two things the Yelang people are best at are playing with fire and hiding in the grass to cut the elephants' tendons!"

"I think that spending money to raise war elephants is not as good as recruiting more Yelang people."

What?

Great Qin already had a way to crack the elephant troops?

Li Er's mouth tasted bitter, and he felt an indescribable disappointment.

He had originally hoped that the Harsha Empire's war elephants could make Great Qin suffer a big loss.

If he thought more boldly, perhaps he could take Great Qin's Yizhou and cut off Tibet from the Central Plains.

Then, in the next step, he could swallow Tibet in one gulp.

Now it seemed that such a beautiful wish was still thought of too early.

"Are elephant troops really that easy to deal with?"

Li Er was still a bit unwilling to give up.

This was a hope for Great Tang to catch up with Great Qin's pace!

Qin Mu, however, did not even give Li Er this last shred of hope.

He said decisively.
