Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 319 - 317: The Barbarian Sun Family

"I share the same thought, but we can’t just act on it!

If we rashly proceed now, we won’t be able to explain ourselves to the Khan upon our return!"

While he spoke, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh,

As if he had suffered a great loss by doing so.

However, after his sigh, he spoke again.

"Although we can’t attack this place this time, we can’t let them off easily either!

It’s okay for us to collect some ’interest’ after all.

Hmph, once we enter the city, don’t hold back. Feel free to pillage and plunder as you please; they wouldn’t dare do anything to us.

Should they resist, wouldn’t that provide us the perfect opportunity to strike?

Once we’re inside, our 1000 cavalrymen could easily fight ’seven in and seven out’ without any problems."

Hearing this, his lieutenant nodded in agreement:

"Chief, you’re right! This time, even if we cause a huge commotion, the other party probably wouldn’t dare touch us!

We just have to be careful of that bastard Sun Heng! With him here, it’ll be difficult for us to succeed."

Upon mentioning Sun Heng, the chief’s anger flared, and the wine pot he was holding was smashed onto the ground with a thud.

The dissatisfaction in his eyes spoke volumes.

"That bastard, who knows what kind of bewitchment he’s fed the Khan!

If it wasn’t for him, we might have already taken the Capital City by now!"

Here, it must be mentioned,

Sun Heng was the envoy sent for this round of negotiations.

It could be said that this time, Agusi was in charge of troop defense, while the real negotiator was this man called Sun Heng.

Why was Agusi so furious at the mention of Sun Heng?

Just from his surname, one could tell that he was a man from the Central Plains. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

That’s right, not a true barbarian.

He had merely fled from the Central Plains to the grasslands.

The reason why he fled to the barbarian Royal Court was that the young Emperor’s father had annihilated the Sun Family.

Thus, with nowhere to turn to, the Sun Family had no choice but to take refuge in the barbarian Royal Court.

In addition, the Suns were always notorious for their cunning nature, full of countless crafty schemes, which had greatly impressed the barbarian Khan.

As a result, the Sun Family eventually became the Khan’s Think Tank.

And it must be said, the Sun Family’s strategies were indeed formidable.

They effortlessly unified the entire Royal Court for the Khan.

And this Sun Heng was the legitimate eldest son of the Sun Family,

The biological son of the current Grassland Think Tank.

He showed exceptional talent from a young age,

His cunning schemes possibly even surpassing those of his father.

Because of this, he quickly gained considerable attention from the serving Khan.

The reason this time they didn’t attack You Country immediately after the news of the Second Prince’s death reached the barbarian Royal Court was entirely due to the Sun Family’s meddling.

It was his father who single-handedly manipulated the current state of affairs.

Of course, his father’s intention in stopping the barbarians from attacking You Country wasn’t to save it.

He wanted to thoroughly disintegrate You Country.

He had calculated that the fate of You Country was nearly at its end.

And the Vassal Kings in various regions were all waiting for the opportunity.

Once they launched an attack on You Country, the Vassal Kings would certainly not resist.

But once they truly penetrated the country, it was likely that at that point the Vassal Kings would rise in chaos to counterattack them, wouldn’t they?

By then, after a weakened state from fighting You Country,

In no time, they were bound to be devoured without even bones or scraps left.

That was something he was unwilling to witness at all costs.

At such a time, not only would the You Country Royal Court collapse due to their assault,

But they, in their weakened state, would also be overrun in one fell swoop.

Restoring the current strength of the barbarians might take decades, even centuries.

All in all, genuinely launching an attack on You Country at this time was impractical.

And brought no benefit, only harm.

Because of all these calculations, they had stopped the Khan’s actions.

When the Khan heard all these analyses, he also nodded in deep agreement.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly, recognizing the Han of You Country as sly indeed.

If it weren’t for having the Think Tank on their side, rushing into battle might have exhausted his own fate as well.

Though the current young Emperor didn’t have much power in his Court, holding just a few tens of thousands of men,

It didn’t mean the entire You Country lacked military strength.

Nor could they underestimate the entire You Country.

At present, military power in You Country was mainly held by the Vassal Kings. Once they assembled, their combined forces were indeed a terrifying power.

At the very least, his side couldn’t fully resist it. Should a battle erupt between the two, mutual destruction was inevitable, but his side’s chances of victory were also slim.

Furthermore, at that time, they would be the unjust side, making things even more difficult for them.

This time, following the instructions given by the Sun Family,

It was best to cause the Emperor and the Vassal Kings to become irreconcilable, even to fight each other, and incite internal strife within them.

Once the situation escalated, they could then swoop in as the oriole behind the mantis, taking all of You Country in one fell swoop.

Even previously, Sun Heng had received instructions from his father that, if absolutely necessary, they could even provide some assistance to the young Emperor.

According to the State Preceptor Sun’s plan, only after they had fought to mutual destruction would the barbarians have a chance to invade the heartland of the Central Plains and become the master of the entire world.

Of course, such things naturally couldn’t be disclosed to the lower-ranking generals.

This was why the generals were so displeased with the Sun Family members.

After all, the barbarians were strong of limb but simple of mind. They had a straightforward idea: obey whoever had the stronger fist.

If someone didn’t submit, just fight until they did. As for being used as pawns or manipulated, that was not their concern.
