"No...it won't happen." The high priest struggled to say these words.
Liu Ying waved her hand and said: "You may really think that that day will not happen, or you may think that the prince who comes is just a baby general. What does he know? Time is the most powerful enemy. As time goes by, hard stones will crack, turn into sand, and be stepped on under people's feet."
"The powerful Han Empire may be like this."
Liu Ying didn't give the high priest a chance to quibble at all. He said quickly: "At least, wasn't that how the powerful Qin State perished like this?"
"You may want to say that the current situation of Qin State and my Han Dynasty are different, but in fact, if the problem of the Xiongnu is not solved, it will last for many years."
"So, if you are still taking chances, purify yourself as soon as possible. Otherwise, by the time I come to purify your thoughts, the problem may be much more serious than you think."
The high priest left his seat and knelt down towards Liu Ying: "I dare not have any intention of deceiving the prince."
Liu Ying looked at the high priest with a smile and said: "If not, then you can return to your seat and tell me how you plan to accommodate those tens of thousands of women of childbearing age."
The high priest raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then returned to the couch behind the short table and knelt down.
"With these tens of thousands of women of childbearing age, my original idea was that after bringing these people to our Guli tribe, the Guli tribe would be able to have a much larger population in the future, but..."
He looked at Liu Ying helplessly: "I really didn't expect that these more than 40,000 women would consume an astronomical amount of food every day after arriving here, so I thought about it and saw if I could throw the problems of these women of childbearing age to His Highness."
The guards on Liu Ying's left and right sides listened to the high priest's words, and each of them looked fiercely.
But Liu Ying stroked her hands and said: "Very good, I like people who tell the truth, but why do you think that I will definitely accept these more than 40,000 women of childbearing age?"
"This is not four hundred and four thousand, this is a full 40,000 people. Our army going north is only 60,000 people. If we add these 40,000 people, it will be a full 100,000 people!"
The high priest looked at Liu Ying awkwardly and smiled: "At the beginning, I had no intention of telling the truth to His Highness, but since Your Highness already knew what I wanted to do, I felt that if I was coy, it would only make His Highness more suspicious, so I simply said it directly, if His Highness thought it was feasible.
