Chapter 769
Great Ming Palace.
Above the main hall.
Qin Mu's majestic voice rang out.
"Fifty thousand Great Qin troops, all officers. Two hundred thousand Persian troops, all soldiers. The army's uniforms, passwords, flags, and organization are all according to Great Qin's regulations.
Once the Qin army is withdrawn, your Persian grand army will be nothing more than a flock of sheep with their bones removed! This is the first point."
A Luo Han's brain was calculating rapidly.
He had also considered the situation Qin Mu described.
But he believed that as long as they retreated quickly and found a safe place to hold their ground, giving him some time to reorganize, they should still be able to contend with the Great Qin army.
After all, the disparity in numbers was right there.
Persia still had a chance to fight.
Qin Mu continued.
"Wherever the Great Qin army strikes, business follows. If you were to go back and investigate carefully, you would find that the wealthy people in Persia today are all those with close trade ties to Great Qin!
You should understand what this means, right? This is the second point."
A Luo Han's heart skipped a beat.
He really hadn't thought of this layer.
Recalling everything in Persia.
The Persian land had been trampled by the Arabs and was already in ruins. Most of the wealth among the people had also been plundered by the Arabs.
The wealthy people in Persia now were indeed those who relied on Great Qin to resell daily necessities.
But these people didn't have much money; compared to the wealthy and powerful Great Qin merchants, they were like a small witch meeting a great one.
A Luo Han suddenly realized that Persia simply didn't have enough supplies to support them in a war against Great Qin.
Great Qin didn't even need to fight; they could just lay siege and starve all the Persians to death!
He had been careless!
After being lectured by the Emperor, A Luo Han finally realized that this would be a war destined for defeat!
"Uh... I understand, the Persians have no chance of victory."
A Luo Han's tone was full of bitterness.
"You don't understand!"
Qin Mu's voice suddenly rose.
"You are just a fool who only knows how to enjoy! Have you ever thought that Great Qin only needs to use food as bait to immediately make your Persian army fall apart and fight among themselves?
Even if Great Qin doesn't fight you and withdraws from Persia, can you withstand the Arabs making a comeback?
You have no qualifications to negotiate terms with Great Qin, you fool!"
A Luo Han's face turned ashen in an instant.
He had once thought that rebuilding Persia would be difficult, and he had prepared himself psychologically to deal with the predicament.
Now he realized he was still too naive.
Some difficulties were simply insurmountable!
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I promise here that the Persians will forever be loyal to Great Qin and become a province of the Great Qin Empire!"
Qin Mu closed his eyes slightly and waved his hand.
"Knowing you were wrong now is not too late. The Persians still have a chance to continue living.
But... you! You no longer have any value in living!"
A Luo Han was terrified.
He had always thought that Persia was his strong backing.
If the Great Qin Huang could forgive Persia, he surely wouldn't do anything to him?
But he was wrong!
The price of being wrong was to pay with his life!
The Great Qin Huang would not give him a second chance to be wrong!
"Your Majesty, spare my life! I will surely be loyal to Great Qin for the rest of my life and strictly restrain the Persian people so they submit to Great Qin's rule!"
Qin Mu was already too lazy to speak further.
What was there to say to a dead man?
What he said just now was only to let him die with understanding.
So he wouldn't be confused even as a ghost.
This was the humane side of Great Qin's laws.
Several Embroidered Uniform Guards stepped forward, grabbed A Luo Han, and dragged him out.
The scene before his eyes made Li Er's heart jump with fear.
At first, he also thought that if Persia had a chance to be rebuilt, this would also be an opportunity for the Great Tang.
Li Er was even thinking of secretly visiting this Persian prince after the court session.
Hoping the two countries could reach an alliance to work together against Great Qin.
But before they could even talk, A Luo Han had already become a dead ghost.
Qin Mu was too terrifying!
Li Er had heard the whole thing and knew that from the very beginning, Qin Mu had calculated everything clearly.
It was equivalent to casually setting up a grand layout.
In this layout, as long as the Persian prince behaved, there would be no trouble.
Once there was a heart of rebellion, all kinds of layouts and backups would exert force together, and the Persian prince wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
Could it be that before Qin Mu did anything, he thought about it so clearly and thoroughly?
Was he even human?
The more Li Er thought, the more frightened he became.
He asked himself, he certainly couldn't do this.
Everything was at his fingertips, and everyone was within his grand chess game!
At this moment, Li Er felt like a small ant on the chessboard under Qin Mu's hand.
Thinking he was galloping across the world, yet every step was under Qin Mu's gaze.
This feeling was very bad, making Li Er feel cold all over!
General Yue Fei Fei stepped out.
"Your Majesty is indeed far-sighted, planning for the grand situation of the world! A person with such wolfish ambition should be beheaded to warn the world!"
General Yue Fei Fei was full of loyalty and courage and could not stand such people.
His words were also sonorous and powerful.
Shen Wansan also stood out.
"Your Majesty is truly a master of manipulation! May I ask Your Majesty, should the Western Expedition Army strike into the territory of the Arabian Empire next?"
Shen Wansan was so concerned about this question not because of the army, but because of business.
The Arabian Empire had many good specialties.
Arabian purebred horses, dates, coffee, cumin...
Because of the state of war between the two countries, these things sold for an extremely high price in Changancheng.
