Just as Li Shun's delegation entered the city, all the civil and military officials and princes, princes and ministers who received the news arrived at the court hall one after another. Soon, the First Emperor came in a hurry. While waiting anxiously, the First Emperor slowly remembered something wrong.

How could Li Shun's delegation return to Xianyang from Yunnan? The difference between the south and north is thousands of miles away.

Faced with the doubts of the First Emperor, all the civil and military officials in the court were also confused, and then they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Chen Xu, who was sitting high on the Grand Master's chair.

If you don’t decide on internal affairs, ask the left prime minister, and if you don’t decide on external affairs, ask the Qinghe Hou.

As a disciple of the Immortal Family, Chen Xu has read three volumes of heavenly books, which is a powerful search engine for the Qin Dynasty and the people. If you want to know anything, you just need to give a look.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know about this, I have actually guessed the return route of Li Shun's delegation based on the two military newspapers sent back by General Jiang Hu. Please take the world map. I will explain your Majesty and your colleagues a little bit!" Chen Xu was indeed the strongest artificial intelligence, and he stood up with a smile and bowed.

"That's great, take the map!" Emperor Shin-Emperor waved his hand, and soon two palace servants came out of the back hall with a roll of cloth and spread it on it. The painting was a simple world map, with the Great Qin and surrounding vassal states, the Western Regions and Western countries, but they were all very simple.

Chen Xu walked down the steps and stood in front of the map, pointed at the map and said, "Your Majesty and you all, this is Dayuan... This is Daxia... This is Rest, this is Body Poison here..."

"There are only two roads between our Daqin and the Western countries, which are towering snow-capped plateau. One is to go to the Western Regions, cross the Pamir Mountains or detour the desert grasslands in the north of the Tianshan Mountains to reach the territory of Kangju in Dayuan, and the other is to go to Bashu through Yunnan, and reach the Zhendu from the territory of the Yue people..."

"Wow~" The court suddenly felt an uproar.

"What the Taishi said seriously can you reach the Western countries from Yunnan?" The First Emperor couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

"That is, in fact, you can see through the map that the borders of Western countries and our Great Qin are thousands of miles long. Just find a channel through the snow-capped plateau. The climate in Lingnan is hot and the terrain is complex. The junction of Yunnan and Luoyue is even more primitive. However, there is indeed a road leading to the West, but I have no way to know it. If I carefully study the records of Bashu or search for the Yue tribe, I will definitely find out about the Western world and the poisonous countries, and even find evidence of business and travel between the two sides. It is just that the focus of my Great Qin has always been in the Central Plains. With the information blockage, this road has not been revealed..."

"It's not that I don't believe what the Zuo Prime Minister said, but that I have never heard of this path!" An official spoke.

"Haha, it's okay. This is just my marquis' speculation based on the incident. Li Shun's delegation will soon come to the meeting hall. You will know it when you ask!" Chen Xu turned his head with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if Luo Yue really has a way to the West, I think that Luo Yue must be conquered as soon as possible, so that our Qin will attack the Western countries, and we can attack them from both directions. Now the West has occupied Dayuan. If the South occupy part of the body and poison, we will advance at the same time, and we will soon open up the situation in the West. The Qin Dynasty's unification of the world is just around the corner!" Wei Liao, the head of the Ministry of War, stood up happily and said loudly.

"What the Wei Army said is very important. Opening up the Luoyue Channel is indeed a great help in conquering Western countries!" Another official stood up and said.

"Well, my dear friends are right. It seems that we must pay attention to the direction of Lingnan. If our Qin Dynasty does not occupy Luo Yue in advance to defend the passage, we are afraid that our body will take action in advance. Since this is the case, we must continue to increase our troops in Lingnan, so that General Ren Xiao can speed up the pace of Luo Yue's conquest, and strive to fight and decide quickly. The Wei-Secret War Department obeys the order..." The First Emperor raised his head seriously.

"Your Majesty, the terrain of Lingnan is complex and the climate is harsh. Many things cannot be resisted by manpower. Moreover, this path is not clear at the moment. It is not too late to wait until Li Shun arrives and listens to his suggestions before making arrangements..." The First Emperor was about to give an order, and Chen Xu had to remind him with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty, the left-winger's words are reasonable. When the army moves, money will be consumed like flowing water. The situation in Lingnan is still unclear. Your Majesty is still waiting for a while!" Feng Quji also quickly stood up and expressed his opinion.

Seeing that both prime ministers spoke to stop them, the First Emperor nodded slightly, waved his hand and walked down the nine-story imperial steps to the front of the map to take a closer look.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is a vast mountain, connected to Bashu, Guangxi and other places in Yunnan, Guangxi, Yunnan, with thousands of miles and millions of miles. It is difficult to travel between Bashu and Wuling. The intersection of Luoyue and Shidu is even more difficult to drive. It can only go through deep canyons, deep ravines and steep mountain paths. It is all like plank roads and five-foot roads. Not to mention the large army, it is difficult for Yue people to travel across mountains and ridges. It is also difficult for Yue people to cross mountains and ridges. In addition, there are many wild beasts and poisonous snakes and venomous insects in the south. It is not easy to march from Luoyue into the Western countries. Your Majesty does not have to worry about Shidu taking the lead in occupying this place and threatening our Qin. The current situation of Shidu is the most intense time for the princes to fight, and it is not worth paying attention. I think the best way to attack the West is still on the sea..."

"Last time I inspected the Tan Road plan and arrived at the South China Sea, this is already the junction of Xiou and Luoyue. If the army traveled to Bashu and Yunnan, it would take at least two months. In addition, the army's food and grass operation would be used to maintain the consumption of a large army of 50,000 people, and it would be necessary to use at least 100,000 people. It would be entirely carried by shoulders and backs. But if you use a large ship to walk on the sea, even if you set sail from Langya, you can reach Hainan in a maximum of twenty days. As long as there are a hundred large sea boats, you can transport 20,000 at a time.

If the soldiers and half a year of supplies and consumption are set off from Wuzhong, the time will be shortened to about ten days. What's more, I have said before that as long as I find a route to the West, we can transport tens of thousands of soldiers to the gate of the body poison without knowing it. In an instant, we can take down a large area of ​​the land in the south. Once we have a firm foothold, we can continuously transport soldiers and food from the Central Plains. At most one year, the body poisoning will all belong to our Great Qin..."

While Chen Xu was speaking, a group of civil and military ministers slowly surrounded him and watched.

Even though the Qin Dynasty is prosperous and stable, most people are no longer interested in fighting, but every time Chen Xu talks about guiding the situation in the West and the world, everyone is excited and excited. The map in front of him seems to show a magnificent war scene.

The ships of the Qin Dynasty wandered around the world like clouds, and the rumbling gunfire and smoke broke the Western countries into ruins.

"Ten thousand troops were transported there for two or three months without any knowledge. I'm afraid even the gods could not stop them. If they were on land, the expenses would increase by more than a hundred times..." Wei Liao, who had a silver beard, nodded and agreed.

"The Grand Master's words are reasonable. It seems that I am too anxious. However, since Luo Yue has bounded with the corpse of the poisonous body, he cannot let it harass our border with the Qin Dynasty. He still has to continue to conquer the territory under the jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty. Once the corpse is conquered from the sea, the West and the Qin Dynasty will be connected to the south, and then the counties will be divided into the construction of roads and bridges, and the first emperor held his slightly gray beard with serious expression.

"Your Majesty said so well, and I also think so, but there are priorities and urgent matters. Luo Yue's place of scabies is actually like the Korean Peninsula. It is possible to slowly plan it, without making a big move, otherwise it will not be worth the loss!" Chen Xu quickly posted.

Just as a group of people were bored around the map to discuss the future development of the West and the Qin Dynasty, an imperial guard came in and knelt down to report.

"Your Majesty~, the Ministry of Rites has arrived!"

"Xuan!" After hearing this, the First Emperor waved his sleeves and returned to the dragon throne to sit. The civil and military officials quickly returned to their seats. The two palace servants also put away the map and retreated to the gate of the back hall.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I am late to welcome the mission!" The Ministry of Rites ordered Yang Zhu to hurried in and walked to the imperial stairs to bow and bow.

"Yang Aiqing is exempted from courtship. What is the situation of Li Shun's delegation? Why didn't the officials come to the court to pay a visit?" Emperor Shi spoke with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, the mission... the mission does not want to... he does not want to enter the court..." Yang Zhu replied with a few trembling face.

Yang Zhu's answer was in an uproar, and countless officials whispered and discussed it with strange expressions. The Ministry of Personnel ordered him to greet him personally. Emperor First Emperor temporarily summoned civil and military ministers and princes and princes to wait in the court. With such a grand treatment, Li Shun and others were unwilling to enter the court to pay homage to the emperor. It was simply ungrateful.

"Why?" Emperor Shi looked at Yang Zhu in silence.

"The situation of the mission...the situation...ah, I am afraid that my words cannot be described. The mission is now in the square. Please let Your Majesty move outside the hall to see it!" Yang Zhu sighed and bowed.

"Wow~" There was even more noise and commotion in the court.

"Why dare Li Shun be so arrogant? He dare not come to the court to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"That's right, just come in, why dare to ask Your Majesty to move forward to greet him!"

"Your Majesty, the mission refused to enter the pilgrimage to pay homage. It is a crime that the following is guilty of the superiors. Please punish the Ministry of Justice according to the law!"

Many officials even stood up and scolded.

Feng Quji, Meng Yi and other members of the three provinces and six ministries were all unable to see each other. Even Chen Xu was a little confused. He didn't know what kind of crazy Li Shun had been. Why didn't he want to go to the court to pay homage to the emperor?

Such a thing can be big or small, but if you really pursue it, you may be dismissed from office or title. It is a great achievement to go on missions for tens of thousands of miles, but it will be a tragedy in the end.

"Your Majesty, since Li Shun's delegation is unwilling to enter the court, I may have other concerns, and more importantly, they still brought the Princess of Susa after returning this trip, which may be inconvenient..." Chen Xu stood up to explain.

"Well, the Grand Master is right. Princess Susa was originally the fiancée of the King of Anxu, but for some reason he followed the delegation to my Qin. Since that's the case, I will go out to see what the situation is. My dear friends will also walk outside the hall with me!"
