Chapter 230: I've been setting a trap for you, just waiting for you to say this!

Ying Heng also looked back at the First Emperor with sharp eyes. When the latter heard these words, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"How...is this possible?"

"Where would we get so many troops to conquer a land that is hundreds or thousands of times larger than the Qin Dynasty?"

"Where do we get so much food and fodder?"

"Where will we get enough population?!"

The First Emperor was shocked. As the first emperor who unified the six kingdoms, he always believed that the territory of the Qin Dynasty was the center of the world.

He always believed that apart from the Qin Dynasty, all other places were marginal areas, barren and uncivilized.

Now, Ying Heng drew a map of the entire world, and the First Emperor was instantly confused.

It turns out that Daqin is just a small country, and this world is so vast!

At this moment, the First Emperor, who was witnessing the whole world, was also moved by Ying Heng's ambition.

However, as a genius in war, he knew that with the current strength of the Qin Dynasty, defeating and defending the Xiongnu and Baiyue was the limit.

Faced with the vast territories of the world, the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty is simply unable to launch attacks and occupations.

At this time, Ying Heng smiled at him.

"Father, if I give you enough Great Snow Dragon Riders, enough Divine Arrow Battalions, enough warhorse equipment, steel weapons, and sufficient food and fodder, how much territory do you think you can conquer?"

The First Emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"If I have these, I don't even need other troops. I only need 10,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders. Within a month, I can conquer the Xiongnu Steppe. Within a year, I can take over the place called Siberia that you drew."

"As for the powerful Roman Empire you mentioned, that depends on their military strength."

Ying Heng nodded upon hearing this, and smiled seductively again: "Then father, do you want to conquer it?"

The First Emperor was stunned again. He looked at Ying Heng in confusion: "Only relying on three thousand Snow Dragon Riders? It seems a little less, right?"

"But I can go and wipe out the Huns!"

"If it weren't for this, I should have personally led the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and trampled the Xiongnu Royal Court under my feet."

Ying Heng smiled again: "Father, therefore, I have a suggestion."

"You see, you are so good at war!"

“And I’m better at development.”

"I have a suggestion, father. Why don't you lead your army to conquer this vast world, and I will stay at home to strengthen the Qin State, take over the lands you have conquered, and provide you with sufficient troops, food, elixirs, and talents!"

"What do you think?"

When Qin Shihuang heard this, he was indeed overwhelmed with emotion.

As the greatest emperor of all time, if you have not seen the vastness of the world, you can still enjoy yourself.

Now that I know this, how can I resist this temptation!
He was about to agree.

But suddenly alert.

"Oops, something's wrong!"

"what do you mean?"

"Do you want to establish yourself as an emperor, rule the country, and let me become a general to conquer the world for you?"

Ying Heng nodded with a smile: "That's exactly what I mean!"

"Nonsense! You're just wishful thinking!"

"I'm the emperor, and you're more like a general!"

"How dare you set a trap for me, you little brat?"

Qin Shi Huang suddenly became furious.

Ying Heng was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile.

"Father, please listen to me carefully."

Ying Heng drew a world map, but failed to impress Qin Shihuang.

However, Ying Heng used both soft and hard tactics and was well organized.

He gently said to Qin Shi Huang: "Father, please listen to me clearly." "Look, with our current influence on Qin, it is not an exaggeration to say that 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers', what do you think?"

Qin Shihuang thought for a moment and called them "two tigers in one mountain", suggesting that Ying Heng might be too modest.

Given the current Qin State, Ying Heng’s control over it may exceed his own.

After all, now both inside and outside the court, agriculture, industry, and military were under his control, and he had also pioneered new fields such as commerce and academia.

And his power of unifying the six kingdoms alone made everyone afraid of him.

Qin Shi Huang nodded and said, "Well, I guess you are half a tiger. Go on, I'll listen."

Ying Heng ignored Qin Shi Huang's arrogance and continued, "Now that you understand this basic, the rest will be easy."

"Look, if our situation happened at any time in history, wouldn't there be two tigers fighting each other, with us father and son competing for the throne?"

Qin Shihuang nodded again, it was true.

Their conversation today seemed calm on the surface, but in reality, there was a lot of swordplay hidden inside.

Ying Heng continued: "Now, I have a plan to solve this problem."

"Father, I think that instead of fighting over Qin's territory, we should look further ahead."

“Do you see how big the world is?”

"If we go to conquer the whole world, someone has to stay behind and someone has to fight, right?"

Qin Shi Huang nodded and said, "That's right. I will stay here and you go fight!"

Ying Heng: “…”

"No, father, you can stay."

“But are you good at governing?”

"Do you know how to train soldiers of the Great Snow Dragon Riders?"

"Do you know about the production and improvement of new steel?"

"Can you master the hundreds of schools of thought?"

“Do you have access to a variety of new types of grain seeds?”

"Are you sure you can handle the complex fields of architecture, navigation, farming, and commerce with ease?"

"How to ignite the enthusiasm of the people and how to make the Qin Dynasty prosperous? Do you have the confidence to solve these problems?"

The First Emperor was silent, muttering to himself: Could this... be so complicated?

It is more exciting to charge into battle on a big snow dragon!
However, he could not show weakness or speak frankly, otherwise his throne would be in jeopardy.

Seeing that the First Emperor was speechless, Ying Heng suggested, "Father, how about we switch roles and you govern the Qin for half a year?"

"I am not demanding. I will only offer the simplest conditions. If you can expand the Great Snow Dragon Riders to 10,000 people, you will be qualified!"

"What do you think?"

Ying Heng secretly came up with a little idea.

Before, when the First Emperor led the Great Snow Dragon Riders and the 3,000 Divine Arrow Battalion to defeat the Xiongnu and recapture the Great Wall, he had already received a new reward from the system—[10,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders!]

This was obviously a trap to test the First Emperor at this moment.

When the First Emperor heard this, he was obviously stunned.

Ten thousand Snow Dragon Riders?
He can really do other things.

But how should this great snow dragon rider be expanded?
Each of those war horses was a majestic beast, and each of those soldiers was a rare warrior in the world, not to mention the armor and weapons. The materials needed to make steel alone were enough for him!

What's more, they have strict discipline and superior military qualities.

Not to mention asking the First Emperor to make ten thousand, even ten would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for him!
"Heng'er, don't joke like that. We are well aware of the combat capability of the Great Snow Dragon Riders."

"You should be secretly thankful that you have these three thousand!"

"When we fought against the Xiongnu, even though we had the chance to annihilate them, I fled with them for a whole day to protect the Great Snow Dragon Riders. I would rather avoid a direct conflict than lose any of them."

"Now you want me to increase this army to 10,000? Are you dreaming?"

"Why don't you try and see if you can make ten thousand of them!?"

Just waiting for your words!
