n said calmly, "You two brothers should have a way to put my mind at ease.""Otherwise...""Otherwise, Your Highness would rather err on the side of killing than let him go, wouldn't you" Wu Qingcang as...Chapter 1557: A Pleasant Cooperation

If the Guza tribe is to contribute its strength in the impending decisive battle, that is the immediate priority.

Then to move the Gǔzā tribe to live inside the pass was Lǐ Chén's grand plan for a century.

Even if all the people of the Qin Empire were added together, they wouldn't be enough to even make fun of the weakest grassland tribe.

While Qin was adept at understanding and cultivating infantry, it paled in comparison to the nomadic tribes when it came to cavalry.

Furthermore, this is the renowned Ghuza tribe, known for its bravery.

The Guza tribe wanted a peaceful living environment, while Li Chen wanted the essence and blood of the entire Guza tribe.

The Han people, encompassing all things and accommodating everything.

Li Chen was very sure that as long as they came in, after dozens or hundreds of years, they would be assimilated into the national culture more or less.

And the strengths and advantages of the Guza tribe would inevitably be used by Qin for its own purposes.

But Guzaili's face showed a hesitant expression. "However," she said, "the grassland is where our ancestors have lived and thrived for generations."

"Yes."

Li Chen immediately responded: "But it is also the place where you have been massacred for hundreds of years."

Guzailo's face darkened.

"The Liao kingdom's strength is undeniable. At least for the next ten years, the Qin dynasty is incapable of a northern campaign, so wanting to save you from this disaster on the grasslands is beyond my reach."

Li Chen earnestly said, "Think about the children in the tribe. Do you really want them to grow up and face the same fate as you Even under Liao's population control, most of them may not even get the chance to reach adulthood."

Seeing Gu Zai Luo's wavering expression, Li Chen added more force to his words: "As long as you are willing to enter the pass, the Hetao region, that vast grassland can all be given to you for grazing and riding horses. Moreover, the imperial court will formulate special trade policies for you, no one will oppress you, and everyone is willing to be friends with you and conduct fair trade."

"Your children can be influenced and educated in Han culture, and even have the opportunity to enter the imperial court or the army. In this regard, this palace will treat you as equals with the Han people and will not discriminate against you."

Similarly, if it is something you are unwilling to do, the Imperial Court will not force you. In short, you can enjoy additional benefits and perks, but you will not bear more responsibilities or obligations.

"You too shall be one of the people of Qin."

This statement clearly touched Guzailo's heart.

She already admired Han culture, and cooperation with the Qin state was indeed driven by the current situation of her tribe. But who could say that her personal preferences didn't play a role

After all, this was a serious matter, and Guzailo didn't reply immediately. "It is a grave issue," she said, "and I would request Your Highness to grant me some time to consult with my elders."

"It's alright."

Li Chen smiled and said, "As long as you are willing, the gates of the Qin Empire are always open to you. You can take your time to consider."

"The prince's demeanor is admirable," Guzailov said sincerely.

"You're too kind, leader."

Li Chen bowed and said, "In that case, this palace shall return and order people to bring the supplies you need. You can arrange for someone to pick them up."

Guzailo's face lit up with excitement as he said, "We will also return and await your orders."

“It was a pleasure doing business with you.”

Li Chen chuckled lightly, swung himself onto his horse, and rode away.

Watching Li Chen and his group leave, Gu Zaylo's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking. wasn't determined to take down Yueya Pass completely, he wouldn't come out for a late-night inspection. He feels that he already has the upper hand and won't lose, so he came to inspect his territory...
