This matter had to be properly discussed – 10 million people wasn't easy to deal with, and Qin definitely couldn't make the first move, or else Qin would be in a miserable state.
However, as Qin cleared out the last region, they started to become restless and wanted to attack Qin first.
After gathering all of the Generals, they started to discuss. Thinking about the 10 million strong army, everyone's expressions became serious. Qin's population was only around 10 million, and he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them.
If they couldn't do it openly, they could only do it in the dark. Qin didn't lack people like Wei Liao, Li Si, Bai Qi, and Shang Yang.
"Your Majesty! Qin's problem now isn't to attack first, but to pacify the other side, "Wei Liao said as he cupped his hands.
Everyone else agreed. After all, they couldn't defeat the other side, so they could only pacify the other side for now.
After discussing, they started to carry out the plan.
Zhao Fu sent three people as messengers, bringing 50,000 pieces of Yin Bone Porcelain, 500 kilograms of spices, 10,000 bottles of high-quality medicinal pills, 10,000 pieces of high-quality equipment, and many other items to the south, west, and north to express their goodwill and that they wouldn't invade their regions.
In the four directions, the east had 3.1 million people, the west had 2.6 million people, the south had 2.6 million people, and the north had 2.1 million people. The east was the strongest, while the south, west, and north were the weakest.
Zhao Fu gave gifts to the three weaker factions, and only the strongest faction, the eastern side, did not give any gifts. He did not express any thoughts.
If the four directions all looked after each other, Qin would be able to deal with them one by one. However, Zhao Fu was worried that if he attacked one direction, the other directions would also attack Qin.
Qin definitely wouldn't be able to defend against enemies from all directions, so Zhao Fu had to pacify the other three factions first.
As for the reason for choosing the three weaker forces, it was actually very simple. According to the thinking of ordinary people, they would definitely make a few stronger opponents, and then make a move on the weakest.
Because the weakest people were the easiest to deal with. After one force was destroyed, there would only be three forces left, and the pressure would be relatively less. The others would guess that Qin's purpose was to defeat them one by one.
Therefore, they might not accept Zhao Fu's kindness. Instead, they would choose to cooperate with other forces and kill Qin first. After all, it was Qin who was a threat now.
Now, Zhao Fu wanted to do the opposite. He wanted to befriend the other three weaker ones and challenge the strongest one.
Because the three of them were relatively weak, they had less confidence, especially in the north, which was the weakest. They were the most anxious because they were the weakest, so they would definitely be Qin's first target.
At this time, if Zhao Fu expressed his goodwill, the three of them would definitely accept it easily, because they didn't have much confidence in Qin's current strength.
At the same time, they would be happy to watch Qin and the eastern forces suffer great losses. That way, their crisis would be over, and they would be able to take down Qin effortlessly.
The three messengers that Zhao Fu had sent quickly arrived in the three directions. Hearing that Qin had taken the initiative to express his goodwill, the factions in the three directions were quite shocked and surprised.
Not only did the messengers take out gifts and give them to the various factions, but they also told Zhao Fu that they were willing to be on good terms with the various factions and not invade each other. They could even sign high-level contracts to prove that Qin was friendly and that he didn't want to invade their regions.
If they wanted to give gifts, Qin could give them gifts every year, and the amount would be many times what he gave them now. Now, Qin's tone was absolutely friendly and didn't have any killing intent at all.
The northern faction was the happiest, and the ten or so City Lords sat together to discuss.
A fat man said, "What do you think about this? I think we can sign a contract with them. Right now, our faction is the weakest, so we'll definitely be their first target. If we sign a contract with them, we won't have to worry about their threats in the future, and we can go back and do our own things! "
An ordinary-looking young man said, "I think so too. I heard otherworlders say that the faction is called Great Qin, and it's the one who caused those terrifying abnormal signs. It's incredibly powerful, and our faction is the weakest. Let's sign a Contract with them; with a high-grade Contract, everyone will feel more at ease!"
"Ai! Let's sign a contract then! "In any case, with their strength, we might not be able to stop them. It's best if we can be at peace right now. No one wants their city to be breached and for them to die," said a ruddy-faced elder as he sighed.
Hearing this, everyone else nodded and agreed to sign a contract with Qin.
The southern faction!
A red-faced man said with a smile, "I don't think that faction is very strong. Now, they've given in and given so many gifts, hoping that we won't attack each other and express our thoughts of peace. To think that we were worried before. In my opinion, we don't even need to work together; they wouldn't dare to attack us."
"They've given us so many gifts and are willing to sign a contract. That means that they have peaceful thoughts and have a good attitude. There's no need for us to pay the price of many soldiers dying to attack them," a decent-looking woman said.
"I don't have any objections. I don't like fighting, and I just want my City to not be invaded and for my civilians and soldiers to be safe. If we can resolve this peacefully, that would be for the best," a scholarly-looking middle-aged man said.
After some more discussion, the southern faction agreed to sign a contract with Qin.
Looking towards the west, there were many people that Zhao Fu was familiar with. Before, when Zhao Fu had launched the Undead Disaster, he had threatened many City Lords, and many of them had joined the alliance.
"I think we should consider working together. With how ferocious the other side is, it's best if we can live peacefully. Who knows, he might launch another Undead Disaster, and we won't be able to stop him!" A middle-aged man with stubble said.
"I don't think so. With how evil and cruel the other side is, I think we should work together to get rid of him in case he causes another disaster. I heard that there are people in the west who want to make a move against him, and I think this is the best opportunity to get rid of him!" The one who spoke was the peerlessly beautiful woman in white.
