Creation of the whole people: the beginning creates chaos

Chapter 670
"You mean, there are too many killings now, causing the people to complain, so I should not attack?"

"Your Majesty knows." Han Rui cupped his hands.

Qin Hao snorted coldly, and said, "Han Rui, forgive me for not agreeing to your suggestion."

Han Rui asked in astonishment, "Why?"

Qin Hao said: "First of all, the poor livelihood of the people in the Qin and Han dynasties has nothing to do with us."

"Secondly, the Great Han Dynasty has accumulated evils for a long time. If it is not eliminated, there will be a huge hidden danger to the rule of the Great Qin. Therefore, I must put down the Great Han Dynasty as soon as possible."

After hearing what Qin Hao said, Han Rui was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Han Rui, what good strategy do you have?" Qin Hao smiled and said, "Tell me."

After thinking for a while, Han Rui said, "The minister's suggestion is to send envoys to the Han Dynasty to declare war."

Qin Hao said: "How to declare war?"

"Unite the surrounding small countries to encircle and suppress the Han Dynasty together."

"What if they don't agree?" Qin Hao asked back.

Han Rui was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Then forcefully suppress it."

Hearing this, Qin Hao frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Han Rui, although your method is feasible, but have you ever thought about whether the Han Dynasty will jump the wall in a hurry?"

"At the beginning, the Han Dynasty was forced to retreat steadily and was already on the verge of collapse. If we were more aggressive, would they die?"

Han Rui looked stern, and said, "Then beat them down completely, so that they don't have a chance to breathe!"

"Han Rui, you are gambling with the fate of tens of thousands of people in Daqin."

"I believe His Majesty can handle it well!"

"Hehe... Han Rui, you are still too young!" Qin Hao shook his head and said, "I can't take this risk!"

"Your Majesty..." Han Rui persuaded anxiously.

Qin Hao waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind. From now on, I will mobilize the army to attack the Qin and Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty..." Han Rui exclaimed.

"I've made up my mind, you go back, don't bother me anymore." Qin Hao drove away without any politeness.

"Farewell, sir." Han Rui gritted his teeth, turned and left the palace.

Qin Hao glanced over and said with disdain: "Trash, a bunch of cowards."

After returning to the mansion, Han Rui locked himself in the room and thanked the guests behind closed doors.

The next day, the sky was bright, and Han Rui just got up and finished washing when he received a notification. Qin Hao called the ministers to discuss the attack on the Han Dynasty.

Han Rui immediately changed into his official robe and hurried to the palace to meet Qin Hao.

Qin Hao looked extremely excited today. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a jade belt around his waist, and colorful embroidered shoes on his feet.

Han Rui knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Qin Hao raised his hand to support Han Rui, motioned for Han Rui to stand up, and said with a smile, "Please stand up, Han Aiqing."

Han Rui stood up, his eyes fell on the sand table in the middle of the hall.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty is depicted on the sand table, while the Han Dynasty is on the left side of the sand table.

"Han Aiqing, please look, I plan to send troops from the northwest." Qin Hao pointed to the area marked with a red circle on the sand table.

Han Rui looked up at the Han Dynasty on the right side of the sand table, and asked, "Where does Your Majesty plan to advance from?"

Qin Hao said: "The junction of the three provinces of Qinling, Longxi, and Chang'an is called Wuwei County."

"Wuwei County is the capital of the Han Dynasty. It is heavily guarded and it is close to the Qinling Mountains. Therefore, it is necessary to bypass Wuwei County to reach the hinterland of the Han Dynasty."

Han Rui nodded in agreement, and said, "It's a little troublesome, but it's also the safest choice."

"I plan to set out from Longxi first, and then invade Wuwei County, and wipe out the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. I don't know what Han Aiqing wants?" Qin Hao asked.

Han Rui shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, I think this plan is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Han Rui pointed to the location of Wuwei County, and said, "Wuwei County is far away from Gyeonggi. If you want to conquer the Han Dynasty, it will take a long time, and I'm afraid it will give the Han Dynasty a chance to breathe."

"More importantly, I am worried that the Han Dynasty has an ambush in Wuwei County."

Hearing this, Qin Hao fell silent.

Qin Hao is a wise ruler of a generation with extremely high strategy, so he naturally knows that what Han Rui said makes sense.

However, as an emperor, how can he stop attacking because he is afraid of the enemy's plots and tricks? This is not in line with Qin Hao's nature. Besides, throughout history, every war-torn country, which one did not lose the big because of the small?
Qin Hao said: "Han Aiqing, I have considered all the concerns you mentioned, and I have given up on it. There is no need to argue any more. Han Aiqing will step back."

Han Rui frowned, hesitated to speak, took a deep breath, bowed and said: "I obey the order."

After watching Han Rui leave, Qin Hao rubbed his head and sighed secretly: "After all, I am still too young and impatient."

After Han Rui left the Golden Palace, he went straight back to the mansion. Along the way, he met many courtiers who respectfully called him Han Shangshu, but Han Rui responded lazily without any indication.

Walking to the backyard, Han Rui had a gleam of joy on his face. He pushed open the door of the study, and saw that Sun Bin and Dian Wei were concentrating on studying military books.

"Hey, why are you back?" Sun Bin asked in surprise.

Han Rui walked into the room, sat down casually by the table, poured a glass of water to drink, moistened his throat, and explained: "Your Majesty is going to attack the Han Dynasty."

Dian Wei asked suspiciously, "What does the attack on the Han Dynasty have to do with us?"

Han Rui rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Your Majesty wants to kill the big man, so of course it has something to do with us. Have you forgotten that you still owe me 10 taels of silver?"

Dian Wei suddenly realized, and said: "You want money, you should have said it earlier, here, here it is!"

Dian Wei took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.

Han Rui widened his eyes, glared at Dian Wei, and said, "You're lying."

"Don't talk nonsense, when did I cheat, this is an IOU!" Dian Wei said eloquently.

Han Rui reached out to grab the IOU, opened it and looked at it, and found that the word 'Han Rui' was actually written on it. He was stunned and said, "What's going on here?"

"Last night, Lao Dian secretly stuffed it under my pillow." Sun Bin explained.

The corners of Han Rui's mouth twitched, and he said, "It can't be said that I borrowed it, at most it was borrowed by a friend, and you two came to me to cheat money, it's completely devoid of conscience!"

Dian Wei said: "Anyway, you have already signed and signed the deposit."

"..." Han Rui was speechless for a while.

Sun Bin said with a smile: "Okay, brother Han, don't be angry, after you kill the big man, you will have the money back to us."

Dian Wei echoed: "That's right, anyway, you didn't suffer any disadvantages, but we still admire your courage to ask His Majesty to borrow money."

Han Rui smiled wryly, "Can I tell the truth?"

Dian Wei said, "I can't."

Sun Bin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother Han, you should admit it, otherwise, we will both be beaten."

Han Rui snorted and said, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

"Cold salad." Dian Wei pouted.

Sun Bin said: "Your Majesty asked you to lead the army, you just do it and leave the rest to us."

Han Rui said, "But..."

Dian Wei interrupted Han Rui with a wave of his hand, and said, "No, but since His Majesty has asked you to command the armed forces, you are the commander, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Sun Bin also helped and said: "That's right, you can go to war with peace of mind, and leave the rest to us."

"Okay then." Han Rui reluctantly agreed, feeling very depressed in his heart. He originally planned to take the opportunity to leave the Han Dynasty, but he never thought that he would shoot himself in the foot.

Han Rui left the Prime Minister's Mansion very upset and returned to the mansion.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw the servant girl Yue'er standing under the eaves, looking forward to it, her pretty face was full of anxiety.

Seeing Han Rui coming back, she rushed up to meet her and said eagerly, "My lord, you are finally back. The master sent a letter to tell you to return to the mansion as soon as possible."

Han Rui frowned, feeling vaguely that something must have happened, otherwise his father would not have sent someone to urge him.

After thinking for a moment, Han Rui asked, "Is there any reason?"

"I heard from the servants in the mansion that Master Hou has been waiting for you for a long time in the mansion." Yue'er replied.

Han Rui snorted, and walked towards Han Rui's residence.

While walking, Han Rui asked, "Yue'er, the master sent someone to urge me to come back. Is there something wrong at home?"

"I don't know." Yue'er shook her head, expressing that she didn't know the details.

Han Rui nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

The place where Han Rui lived was not far away. After walking for a while, he came to the door of his residence.

Just as Han Rui was about to knock on the door, he heard voices coming from the room, so he raised his arm and slowly pushed the door open. What came into view was a beautiful woman in her forties, with her back to the door, and Husband chatting.

"Father, mother, I'm back." Han Rui called out.

"Well, it's good to be back, take a bath quickly, and eat, the food is still hot." The beautiful woman ordered kindly.

"Got it, mother." Han Rui agreed, closed the door, walked quickly to the bathroom, undressed and took a bath.

Not long after, he finished washing, changed his clothes and came out.

When Han Rui came to the dining room, he saw his parents, wife and daughter sitting in front of the table, discussing something.

"Father, mother." Han Rui bowed his hands and sat on the empty chair on the left.

Han Kang took a sip of tea dignifiedly and gracefully, and asked in a low voice: "Today, the imperial palace convened a meeting of civil and military officials, have you heard?"

Han Rui shook his head blankly, and said, "I went to participate in the martial arts competition today, and I haven't returned home yet."

Han Kang said: "You haven't heard such important news."

"Father, who posted the imperial list, tell me." Han Rui said.

Han Kang shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the official doctor is in charge."

"I see. If there is nothing else, I will go to study first." Han Rui said.

Han Kang waved his hand and said, "Go, take a rest for a long time today, remember to come home for lunch."

Han Rui responded, turned and left.

Watching Han Rui go away, Li said with a smile, "Master, look at him, does he look like he was stupid when you and I first met?"

Han Kang laughed and said, "Like!"

Li said angrily, "Nonsense."

Han Kang said in a low voice: "My husband is telling the truth. Look, he actually passed the No. 1 exam and won the first prize in the scientific examination. I have to admit that his knowledge is not weak."

Mrs. Li smiled, and said softly: "Master, how did you teach the child, how did he change so much?"

"Perhaps because of long-term malnutrition." Han Kang hesitated.

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, and then said worriedly: "But now that the imperial examination is coming, if he is still as stupid as that, I'm afraid..."

Han Kang remained silent. Although he felt that Han Rui had become smarter, he still thought he was a fool.

……

In the early morning, the sky was bright and the sun was shining on the bed, making the bed warm. Han Rui woke up leisurely, dressed slowly, picked up the bookcase, walked out of the wing room, and came to the front yard, where he saw a group of guards standing in the courtyard In the middle, hold your head high and your chest high, with a serious expression.

"Greetings, Mr. Han Rui." The guard clasped his fists and saluted.

Han Rui nodded slightly, and asked, "My brothers woke me up so early, what's the matter?"

Guard A smiled and said, "Master Han Rui, please come with me, and I will take you to the school grounds."

"School?" Han Rui was stunned. He hadn't heard of where the school was, but he didn't delve into it. He quickly followed the guards and left the family, went to the street outside, walked east for a while, and came to the east suburb of the city. In the school yard, there is a high platform built here.

At this time, there were hundreds of soldiers in the school field, lined up for training.

Seeing a stranger entering the school grounds, the group of soldiers cast their eyes one after another. After seeing that it was Han Rui, they showed various expressions of surprise and admiration. Someone couldn't help shouting: "Han Rui, Han Rui is here, hurry up!" Step aside."

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers retreated one after another, making way for Han Rui.

Han Rui was a little embarrassed, and sighed secretly, the playboy back then has finally made a name for himself, it's not in vain for me to work hard.

Under the guidance of the guards, Han Rui boarded the high platform, looked around, and found fifty or sixty young men with the appearance of military officers standing quietly beside them.

Han Rui approached, saluted and said, "See you generals."

The leading officer reached out to support Han Rui, smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Everyone nodded in admiration, envious in their hearts, if they could be selected, they could also be officers, majestic, commanding thousands of troops...

The officer's gaze fell on Han Rui, and he said with a relaxed smile, "Your Excellency must be Han Rui. I am the deputy general of the Yulin Army, Xu Qing, and I have come to recruit recruits to join the army under the order of the Taiwei. I will go to the capital, and the face saint will be conferred."

Han Rui sighed in his heart, Grand Master Han Rui, the most noble existence in the Tang Dynasty, cared so much about him.

"I am willing." Han Rui replied respectfully.

Xu Qingxin said happily: "Okay, I will send someone to escort you to the capital. In addition, I have to report to Lord Taiwei to recruit five hundred elites to escort you to the capital. I hope you don't mind."

Han Rui shook his head and said, "Since Your Majesty has graced you, how dare I refuse."

"Haha, what a courage." Xu Qing praised: "As expected of the nephew of Lord Taiwei, I believe that under your leadership, our Great Tang will definitely be more prosperous."

Han Rui said humbly, "The general is overrated."

After exchanging polite greetings, Xu Qing immediately ordered someone to pack his bags and prepare to escort Han Rui to the capital.

Needless to say, this matter was quickly passed to Taiwei Han Rui's ears through some channel, but Han Rui was not worried at all, but a little happy instead, because judging from the attitude of these officers, he was valued. It represents the glory and magnanimity of his future official career.
