Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 309 - 307 The Barbarian Delegation Has Arrived

All things here are in progress with tense and orderly fashion.

Including the Nanshan Army led by Lin Yi, which is also training in an orderly manner.

Presumably, it will not take more than a month to form a new army that meets known qualifications.

After all, his training methods are quite unique.

Including directly incorporating Hand Grenade training into their training curriculum.

In this way, their training speed will be greatly improved.

Not only that, but in the Hand Grenade workshop, the daily output is also very impressive.

Almost hundreds of Hand Grenades can be produced in a day.

However, plans can never change as fast as situations do.

It was only a week later that an urgent report from the border was sent into the Capital City.

Inside the Imperial Study Room, the young Emperor pushed away Lin Yi’s playful hand-swapping.

Then he reached out to take the report handed over by Ying Yi.

However, as the young Emperor read the contents, his expression worsened.

Later on, he smashed the report fiercely onto the desk in front of him.

"Is this from Yumen Pass? Could it be that those barbarians have already launched an attack?"

Seeing the young Emperor’s action, Lin Yi also frowned and picked up the report from the jade desk.

It was Lin Yi who dared to blatantly pick up the Emperor’s confidential letter. If it were anyone else, they would have been directly taken away and executed.

But as he read the text clearly, he couldn’t help but be taken aback:

"These barbarians actually sent a diplomatic mission first?? And from the looks of it, they could arrive in the Capital City within three days."

This completely baffled Lin Yi.

For a moment, he could not figure out what tricks the barbarians were actually playing.

Instead of directly sending troops to attack, they chose to first send historians to negotiate.

This was definitely not something the barbarians could do.

After all, those guys are brutes without brains, each only knows how to fight and kill.

In such a situation, they should have sent troops directly; how could it be possible for them to send a diplomatic mission?

"There must be something fishy about this affair. I also don’t believe that after losing two Princes, they could still send a diplomatic mission."

According to the young Emperor’s knowledge of the current Khan, that fellow was an extremely temperamental person.

Sending a diplomatic mission, a task for scholars and literati, was clearly not something a barbaric King could do.

"Your Majesty, could this matter reveal some kind of conspiracy?

For example, they might want to send out a diplomatic mission first to probe our internal strength, and then the army presses directly on our borders."

Upon saying this, the young Emperor also nodded in agreement:

"That’s not impossible! Although these barbarians are all savages, it’s not impossible for them to have some smart Think Tanks.

These people are really good at coming up with strategies, especially sneaky and underhand tricks.

Perhaps they are just feinting an attack, aiming to confuse us with their diplomatic mission.

Let us think that they will not send troops to attack.

Then when we are unprepared, they launch a sudden attack.

In doing so, they could catch us off guard.

Then their chances of winning would be much greater."

Indeed, this was a possibility.

After all, the number of Soldiers nowadays was extremely scarce.

It could be said that whoever has more troops, has the power to rule.

"We don’t have much time left, and just to be on the safe side, we still need to speed up the production of Hand Grenades.

Once the Hand Grenades can’t keep up, or if they really do break through in a short time, our side will be in danger."

At this moment, the young Emperor’s eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

Obviously, she also thought that if things really went according to her predictions, her rule might not be secure.

And after hearing his words, Lin Yi’s brows also furrowed:

"We can’t care too much for now. In the face of this barbarian diplomatic mission, we still have to use some tricks to intimidate them.

If they are intimidated, they may convey this message back.

By then, those barbarians might not dare to rashly attack."

The young Emperor’s eyes brightened at these words.

If given another month, she was confident that she could take on these barbarians in a head-to-head battle.

But now, she dared not. Although the power of the Hand Grenade was great and unexpected, in a battle of hundreds of thousands, its effectiveness was still limited.

Moreover, currently, the quantity of Hand Grenades, when added all together, was only a few thousand at most.

Such a quantity would clearly be insufficient if a real battle broke out.

Just give them one more month, let every Soldier hold a Hand Grenade in hand, then their strength could increase exponentially.

Even now, the new Nanshan Army had not yet been established and was still in rigorous training.

To have a certain combat capability, at least another month was needed.

If they intimidated the barbarian diplomatic mission as Lin Yi had suggested,

perhaps they could really buy themselves a month’s respite.

By that time, the odds of victory would be unpredictable.

"Face the soldier, and cover the water with soil, let’s show as much of our strength as possible.

If it comes to a critical point, we can also let these barbarians witness the power of our Hand Grenades and scare them.

Of course, don’t reveal all our cards.

Just let them see the power of the Hand Grenade."

Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this.

As expected, these barbarians did not disappoint them.

On the third day, they indeed arrived outside the Capital City.

Moreover, the number of barbarians who came was not small; at a glance, there were at least several hundred people.

Though this number of people were definitely not enough for a siege, it was still a force not to be underestimated.

At the same time, this was also a pressure, a deterrence.

I directly lead a thousand absolute elite forces pressing below your Imperial City, isn’t this giving you a warning?

"Report, the barbarian diplomatic mission has arrived outside the Capital City, at the base of the city walls.

They have specially brought a national letter for Your Majesty."

During the morning court of this day, a small eunuch hurriedly rushed into the grand hall.

Upon seeing this, everyone turned their attention to him.

More accurately, they all focused on the national letter in his hands.

Everyone was now curious as to what exactly was written in this barbarian’s national letter.
