That night, Daqin held a grand celebration banquet, and the whole army celebrated in a lively atmosphere. The soldiers drank fine wine and tasted the delicacies of the Qiang people, enjoying themselves to the fullest.

That night, everyone let down their guard and enjoyed the joy of victory.

The next day, Zhao Tuo, Wang Li, Li Xin, Prince Jianglu and others stood on the city wall and looked down.

"I can't believe that in just half a year, we have conquered the Western Rong and Qiang tribes." Wang Li couldn't help but sigh.

"This is all due to your Majesty's wise decision." Zhao Tuo said, "Without your Majesty, we would not have achieved such a brilliant victory."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"I wonder how His Majesty will reward us?"

Prince Jianglu was somewhat expectant.

"No matter what, we have made great achievements this time. Your Majesty will definitely not treat us unfairly." Wang Li said.

"That's natural."

Prince Jianglu nodded: "But I am a little worried about Fuyu and Sushen."

"Fuyu and Sushen?" Everyone raised their eyebrows.

"Although Fuyu and Sushen are not as powerful as the Qiang, they should not be underestimated. If our Great Qin wants to annex them, I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

Prince Jianglu's worries were not unreasonable. Although Fuyu and Sushen were not as strong as the Qiang people, they were also two strong forces. If the Qin Dynasty wanted to annex them, it would have to pay a heavy price.

"You don't have to worry about this." Li Xin smiled slightly.

"Since your majesty dares to ask us to send troops, he must have a thorough plan. We just need to follow orders."

"Ah."

Prince Jianglu nodded: "However, I am still very curious, how will Your Majesty deal with Buyeo and Sushen?"

"I think the First Emperor would send troops directly."

"Send troops directly?" After hearing Wang Li's words, Prince Jianglu was stunned for a moment.

"good."

Wang Li nodded: "Although Fuyu and Sushen are not weak, they are still far behind our Great Qin. If our Great Qin sends troops directly, Fuyu and Sushen will definitely not be able to resist."

Wang Li’s analysis made sense. The strength of the Qin Empire far exceeded that of Fuyu and Sushen. If the Qin Empire was determined to send troops, Fuyu and Sushen would definitely not be able to resist.

"Then I am looking forward to seeing what choices Fuyu and Sushen will make." A hint of amusement flashed in Prince Jianglu's eyes.

"No matter what choice they make, the outcome is certain." Li Xin said calmly.

"good."

Everyone nodded.

They have fully realized the power of the Qin Dynasty. In their view, no matter how hard Fuyu and Sushen struggle, they will never be able to escape from the clutches of the Qin Dynasty.

……

The King of Buyeo sat in the tent, holding the bamboo slips in his hands, feeling anxious. His hands holding the bamboo slips were shaking slightly, and his face was changing, as if he was about to faint at any time.

His brows were furrowed and his lips were trembling, showing that he was extremely shocked.

Suddenly, he stood up from the throne and asked anxiously, "How are the Xiongnu and Donghu?"

"It has been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty." said a general.

"What did you say?"

King Buyeo was shaking and almost fell, but fortunately he was caught by his maid in time.

"Kings!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"I am fine."

King Fuyu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and asked in a deep voice: "How many Qin soldiers are there?"

"Half a million."

"Five million?"

King Fuyu trembled. If it was in the past, he could unite with Donghu and Xiongnu to fight against Daqin. However, now Donghu and Xiongnu have been destroyed by Daqin, he can no longer rely on external forces.

Moreover, the number of Qin soldiers far exceeded his imagination.

"What should we do?" murmured the King of Buyeo.

"Your Majesty, we only have two options now."

"Which two roads?" asked King Fuyu hurriedly.

The general said: "The first is to surrender to the Qin army and be a slave for generations."

"This……"

The King of Buyeo hesitated. If he surrendered, he could save his life, but he would lose everything, his wealth, power, and dignity.

"What about the second way?"

"Fight to the death with the Qin soldiers. They come with the intention of conquering us. Unless we are willing to be slaves for generations, they will never let us go." The general's words completely dispelled the idea of ​​King Fuyu's surrender.

"We... really have no other choice?" King Fuyu was somewhat unwilling.

"No." The general shook his head.

"The Qin soldiers are too strong. We can't resist them at all. Moreover, they are very ambitious. If we don't surrender, they will definitely continue to attack us. At that time, even if we want to surrender, they will not accept it."

The general's words made King Buyeo feel hopeless.

"But if we surrender, won't we lose everything?" King Fuyu found it difficult to accept.

"If you lose your life, you gain nothing."

"This..." King Fuyu fell into deep thought.

The general urged, "Your Majesty, you must make a decision soon."

"I understand." King Buyeo sighed, "Pass the order down, hold on to the city until King Sushen sends troops to help. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival."

"Yes."

The general nodded.

King Fuyu knew in his heart that the chance was extremely slim.

After all, King Sushen was not a fool, and he could certainly see the current situation clearly. If he chose to wait and see, waiting for Buyeo and Daqin to be defeated before taking action, Buyeo would be completely finished.

However, this was the only choice for King Buyeo.

"I hope King Sushen can lend us a hand based on our past friendship." King Buyeo thought to himself.

Soon, the King of Fuyu wrote a letter to the King of Sushen, in which he deliberately reduced the number of Qin troops by half, hoping that the King of Sushen would send troops to rescue.

At the same time, Buyeo's right commander was worried.

"If King Sushen doesn't send troops, what should we do?"

"Then we have no choice but to fight to the death." The left captain gritted his teeth.

The right commander said: "But the Qin soldiers are too strong. We are no match for them."

"So what?" The left captain snorted coldly, "We Fuyu people have never been cowards who are afraid of death. Even if we die, we must die with dignity."

The words of the Left Commandant lifted everyone's spirits.

"That's right. We Fuyu people are definitely not the kind of people who are afraid of death." The right captain also said loudly.

"Then prepare to fight."

At the general's command, Buyeo's army began to get busy.

On the other side, King Sushen received the letter from King Buyeo and couldn't help but frowned.

"The Qin army only has 250,000 soldiers?" King Sushen was a little skeptical. "Could this Buyeo King be trying to use us?"

King Sushen hesitated. If what King Buyeo said was true, then he could get a share of the spoils by sending troops to rescue. However, if King Buyeo lied, sending troops to rescue would only bring disaster upon himself.

"Your Majesty, we cannot send troops." said the Prime Minister.

"Why?" asked King Sushen.
