Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"You mean Xishu, right? If it were possible to get them involved, Your Highness would definitely do so. But they refused and even started a fight. There must be something fishy going on. I'll tell you after I find out."

Mu Liuming quickly guessed what he meant.

Upon hearing this, Qian Wanli immediately understood.

"Row."

After the two finished their conversation, Qian Wanli quickly left Mu Liuming's tent.

When the news came that Western Shu was attacked.

Qin Ming received the news as quickly as they did.

Elder Song came to Qin Ming with a letter of information.

Report the situation in Western Shu to him in a low voice.

After hearing these things, Qin Ming raised a smile.

"I originally wanted them to have a fight, but I didn't expect it to become so big. It seems Fang Yuanjian has put in a lot of effort."

"Go tell Fang Yuanjian and see if he's willing to ally with Xishu. If he is, I'll introduce him."

"Your Majesty, Liu Qin of Western Shu is very ambitious, just like Fang Yuanjian. I think it's quite risky for you to bring these two together."

Elder Song was a little scared. After all, Fang Yuanjian was the dangerous factor in the Shenmu Kingdom.

Otherwise he would not have been expelled directly.

On the basic side, Liu Qin never bowed to Daqin.

He even wanted to consolidate his throne, develop gradually, and compete with the Qin Dynasty.

Two people like this got together, and they were so close to each other.

If they join forces, even if the Western Regions fall into Qin Ming's hands in the future, they will definitely watch covetously from the sidelines.

So it is best to separate the two people at this time.

Hearing what he said, Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.

"You're right, but these two are the ones who can scare Hua Yunhong."

"In the future, there will still need to be a buffer zone between the Western Regions and the Shenmu Kingdom. Besides the mountains there, there are Fang Yuanjian and Liu Qin."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Ming's words surprised Elder Song who was standing beside him. Just as he was wondering what was going on.

Qin Ming has given the order.

"Write a letter to Liu Qin, telling him that he has a share in the Western Regions, but he needs to protect Fang Yuanjian."

"Hua Yunhong will take as much as he can."

Soon, Elder Song understood what Qin Ming was going to do.

If the Western Regions want to develop peacefully, there must be a dividing line between the Shenmu Kingdom and them.

Originally they were dozens of small countries gathered together.

Naturally, some marginal areas became their buffer zones, able to separate the two major forces.

But now if the Western Regions are controlled by Qin Ming.

They are directly bordering Daqin and the Shenmu Kingdom.

Only a few towering mountains remained between the two sides.

But no matter whether it is the Great Qin or the Divine Tomb Kingdom.

They had all the means to easily cross these mountains and forests.

Having said that, they still need a buffer zone.

Qin Ming can give the land in this buffer zone to Western Shu.

Originally, when the Shenmu Kingdom was trading with the Western Regions Allied Forces, it wanted this border area.

Because they want to develop some factories and mining industries here.

This is very close to Daqin.

If they develop a military factory, the threat to Daqin will inevitably increase sharply.

Qin Ming invited Liu Qin to join with the same conditions.

And the price they need to pay is actually not too much.

The reason why he did not nod directly and let the court arrange people to end the war in the Western Regions was because he did not agree.

It’s because Qin Ming still needs a few people to play their roles well.

It was obvious that Fang Yuanjian did a great job in completing the task he was assigned.

After many twists and turns, Liu Qin was finally brought in again.

"So that's how it is. I'll go now."

Seeing that Qin Ming had involved so many people, Elder Song immediately realized that he could not guess his thoughts. Thinking of this, he immediately began to do things according to Qin Ming's instructions.

It was sent to Western Shu along with Qin Ming's letter.

In the Western Shu Imperial Palace, Liu Qin has not slept well these days.

The successive failures on the front line made him experience again the fear he had when facing the Qin Dynasty.

His generals kept sending battle reports, and the eunuchs in the palace would run to the hall to find him every hour.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has broken through thirteen of our checkpoints and is now advancing towards the heart of our border."

"Your Majesty, our army has suffered over ten thousand casualties, and three generals have fled..."

"Your Majesty, General Xu has been severely injured and half of his body is paralyzed."

……

Every piece of news was like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Qin, leaving him speechless.

Xu Jiangong, whom he specially trained, performed well on the battlefield and fought to the death.

But this kind of war is inherently characterized by a huge disparity in strength.

Even though he fought desperately until the end, it didn't have any good effect.

Instead, they were unable to move, and their troops ran away or dispersed.

Some who did not escape died directly on the battlefield.

Originally, they were very confident in their national strength and military power.

Especially after the development in recent years and the introduction of industrial technology, the territory of Western Shu has even become prosperous.

But after two rounds of war with Daqin and Shenmu Kingdom.

Only then did they realize that they had always been the ones being fed.

In terms of overall strength, it is far behind those powerful dynasties.

This also caused Liu Qin's mentality to change drastically in the past few days.

Originally, he was extremely arrogant, and even really wanted to sit on this position and leave his name in history as a capable emperor.

However, in the process of constantly managing the government, he found that even if he tried his best, he could not change the entire dynasty with his own strength.

Since this is the case, it is better to know how to take advantage of the situation and find someone to hold on to as soon as possible.

If I had shown my loyalty to Qin Ming earlier, perhaps Qin Ming's reinforcements would have arrived by now.

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.

Then he picked up a pen and began to write a letter with great difficulty.

"Send this to the cities we ceded on the border and see if we can get some assistance from the Qin Dynasty."

"Your Majesty...you want assistance at this time?"

The men were stunned. They thought Liu Qin might fight to the death.

There may also be negotiations or surrender.

But he never thought that he would actually bow to the Qin Dynasty.

You must know that after Liu Qin came to power, he did not learn from previous lessons.

Even after compensating Daqin for a huge loss, he still felt resentful.

The court has always regarded each other as imaginary enemies.

There is a saying that goes, people cannot be taught by others, but things can teach people once and for all.

This is what Liu Qin is like now. After suffering a severe beating from the Shenmu Kingdom, he has figured it out.

Compared to the lives of millions of people in his entire dynasty.

Being short doesn't matter, as long as Western Digital can become rich and not be bullied.

After having this thought, he raised his head, his face flushed, his voice trembled, and he stuttered as he confirmed:

"Yes, send it over, quickly."
