Age of mythical princes

Chapter 465

As soon as Han Feizi set off with his front foot, Zhang Liang came back with his hind foot.

Seeing Zhang Liang coming back, Han Feizi was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.Then Zhang Liang spoke, which made Han Feizi even more confused about what to say.

"I fell into the trap. I was tricked by Le Yi, and it was my own negligence..."

"I ran back alone, and the army has ordered to surrender."

"Even if the [-]-strong army surrenders honestly, it will take ten days and a half just to resettle them. This time is enough for the reinforcements from Wei and Zhao to arrive."

"We don't need to say more, just tell the truth. The reinforcements from Wei and Zhao will naturally arrive. Wei Gong and Zhao Gong both have an overall view. Without South Korea, they will be unable to support themselves."

"As for the future, if we win this decisive battle, then the [-]-strong army will still have a chance to come back. If we lose this decisive battle, it won't matter whether the [-]-strong army can come back."

"Now, we have lost [-] troops. In ten days or half a month, the combined forces of Chu and Zheng will arrive in South Korea..."

Listening to Zhang Liang's rambling, Li Si opened his mouth, wanting to speak but then stopping.

After a long time, Zhang Liang said: "This time, I surrendered without a fight and even sneaked back. I am really greedy for life and afraid of death. I am also a sinner in Korea. If I am not punished, there will be no rules."

"So, please allow me to make meritorious deeds."

Han Feizi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. This time, Li Si said it for him: "But you and I both know that the reason why Zifang gave up the army and returned directly was to avoid the lord being ambushed."

"Moreover, under the current situation, resistance is a dead end. If you continue to resist, you will only lose all the [-] troops, and you will not even be able to escape from the ovary. If the lord goes, the lord may not be able to come back. That way All Korea will perish."

"Now, you are back safe and sound, the master is fine, the Jiuding is still there, and even the [-]-strong army just surrendered. They surrendered collectively, and it is impossible for the Chu State to massacre prisoners on a large scale. Moreover, as long as the Chu State wants to enter Lord of the Central Plains, it is impossible to abuse them."

Killing prisoners today is fun for a while, but when the time comes to conquer Korea, it will be a huge pitfall!
There were only 20 Taoist priests and doctors in South Korea. The Chu State killed [-] in one breath. Then every family in South Korea was really wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning. This was forcing South Korea to die, and forcing South Korea to fight Chu State even if they risked their lives.

At least, when Chu State still wanted to conquer South Korea, Chu State would not do anything to these [-] captives.

In Li Si's view, Zhang Liang's method of disposal was already the one with the least loss for South Korea.

If Zhang Liang had not surrendered decisively, then either the [-]-strong army would have suffered heavy losses, or Han Feizi would have fallen into a trap. Either way would have been worse than now!

From this perspective, Zhang Liang is meritorious!

Zhang Liang sighed: "Hey..."

"There are national laws, and there are family rules."

"If there is no punishment, then all South Korean generals can use this as an excuse to surrender directly and abandon their armies to escape alone."

"This bad guy can't be opened!"

Han Feizi thought for a while: "Then from today onwards, I will step down from the position of Prime Minister and fight to the end. The fiefdom will be reduced from 36 counties to six counties."

"However, now that we are fighting with integrity, I will make you acquitted and meritorious service!"

Zhang Liang silently took out the seal of the Prime Minister. Han Feizi played with it for a while, then immediately held the seal with both hands and said: "The country cannot be without a Prime Minister for a day. From today on, the position of Prime Minister will be entrusted to Sir."

Li Si stretched out his hands, took the seal, and bowed to Han Feizi: "Nuo!"

After the punishment was over, Zhang Liang then said: "I was careless this time!"

The punishment was over, and Zhang Liang continued to speak his mind.

Li Si consoled him, "I can't blame you this time. Le Yi, Xiang Ji, the coalition forces of Chu and Zheng, and other great masters hiding in the dark will all die."

Zhang Liang shook his head slightly: "I'm not talking about this matter, I'm talking about the general trend of the world in the future."

"With the merger of Zheng and Chu, Chu will have the foundation for long-term hegemony in the Central Plains. With Chu's greed and habits, at this moment, even Chu Gong and Xiang Ji cannot go against the will of the entire Chu State! As far as the Chu State is concerned, sending troops to the Central Plains to aspire to conquer the world is a belief passed down from the bottom of our hearts!"

"The State of Jin has been destroyed. Now, the State of Cai and the State of Chen have been annexed by the State of Chu. The State of Zheng has become the frontline base of the State of Chu. This time, no one in the Chu State will let go of this opportunity!"

"Even if the wise men of the Chu State understand the general trend of the world and know that this battle is more beneficial to Yancheng, it is meaningless. One or two sober wise men cannot change the will of all the nobles in the Chu State!"

For the nobles of Chu State, there were three things they had to do in the past.

The first thing is to expand the territory, conquer the savage tribes, kill demons and expand the territory.

The second thing is to resist Chu Hou's unreasonable orders, raise troops to attack Chu Chu when necessary, and correct Chu Chu's mistakes.As long as there is an opportunity, they will provoke internal strife among the Chu lords, and provoke the Chu lords' sons to fight against the Chu lords, thereby weakening the Chu lords' power.

The third thing is to take over the Central Plains and plot the Central Plains!

In the past, Chu State was repaired many times by Jin State, and it was slowly defeated.When the Jin State was still there, it was rare to send large-scale troops to the Central Plains unless there was internal strife or division within Jin.

Now, the Jin Kingdom is gone.

Now, the State of Zheng has become the frontline base of the State of Chu, and even the problem of transporting grain and grass has been solved.

At this time, what is the significance of the opinions of one or two wise men?

Even if he is the Duke of Chu, what does he mean in front of the will of the entire Chu aristocratic group?The entire Chu State was wrapped up in the Chu State's traditions.

"So, next, Duke Chu will definitely lead the coalition of nobles from the Chu Kingdom to the Central Plains!"

"After Chu Gong sends troops, Wei Gong and Zhao Gong can only send troops!"

"This battle is unavoidable!"

"The Duke of Chu and the Three Jins will have a decisive battle in the Central Plains. When the time comes, Wu, Qin, and Yan will all come to an end. However, some countries will end before the decisive battle, and some will end after the decisive battle."

"However, after this decisive battle, it will be time for Yancheng to send troops to sweep across the world!"

Having said this, Zhang Liang sat weakly on the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Liang has no aristocratic image at all.

He came back in a hurry, and Zhang Liang paid a lot of price to avoid Xiang Ji's pursuit.When I came back, my hair was messy, the sleeve on my right hand was completely missing, and one of my shoes was scattered, making me look very embarrassed.

At this moment, sitting on the ground, there is no grace at all.

"Yancheng is about to dominate the world, but the countries are still busy fighting among themselves and fighting decisively."

"This decisive battle is to help Yancheng clear the obstacles and reduce the resistance encountered when unifying the world!"

"I've obviously seen through it all. I've seen all Yancheng's plans, but what's the use?"

"Who can convince the aristocratic group of Chu State? Who can change it?"

“Can we just watch South Korea perish?”

"Can Wei Gong and Zhao Gong just sit back and watch South Korea be annexed by Chu?"

"When the three Jins join forces to fight against Chu, will Qin be able to resist a sneak attack on Hangu Pass? Even if it can resist before the decisive battle, what will happen after the decisive battle?"

"By the same token, can the State of Yan resist sending troops to the State of Zhao?"

"Can the State of Wu resist sending troops to the State of Chu?"

"As for Yancheng, they are definitely fanning the flames everywhere, taking advantage of this decisive battle to continue selling war preparation materials on a large scale, and at the same time extracting everything they can from various countries."

"Finally, the decisive battle is over, and Yancheng's products have almost been sold. It's time to send out the army and sweep across the world!"

"At that time, who can stop it?"

"But so what if you see through it? It's meaningless! It'll make it even more painful!"

At this moment, Zhang Liang felt very painful, powerless, and helpless.

……

Wei Guo, after receiving the first-hand news, Li Kui's expression changed: "Can we negotiate peace?"

"South Korea is so inexperienced, why did it fall into the trap again?" This was Pang Juan's first reaction.

As for Weiss, he didn't say a word and just sighed.

"Peace talks are probably impossible. At this moment, the Chu State is united and morale is high. Even if there are conflicts between Chu Gong and the nobles, they will be suppressed automatically at this moment. Regarding the big goal of taking over the Central Plains, Chu Gong and The nobles have given up their internal fighting for the time being.”

"Even if we try to sow discord at this moment, it will not have a very good effect. On the big goal of taking over the Central Plains, Duke Chu and the nobles will unite again. Even if there are different opinions, they will be suppressed by both parties."

"As for the peace talks, Duke Chu will definitely open his mouth during the peace talks at this moment. Only in this way can we appease the fighting spirit of the nobles within the Chu Kingdom."

"At this moment in the peace talks, the lowest price is to allow Chu to devour half of South Korea."

"This is not peace talk, this is just a late death."

"Even if we really want to negotiate for peace, we must first fight a fierce battle with the Chu State, inflicting heavy losses on the Chu State and making them realize that even if the Jin State is gone, we, the Three Jins, are still there!"

"Chu people, Southern barbarians, are afraid of power but not moral!" In the end, Weiss scolded the Chu country severely, which showed that he was really angry.

"If there is a war, the pressure will be great. We have only occupied Weiguo for three years. Today, Weiguo cannot be used for our own purposes. It is difficult to squeeze the manpower and material resources of Weiguo's homeland on a large scale." Li Kui said .

"This is a small matter. We send troops and South Korea provides money and supplies. Before the last Korean dies and before the last penny of South Korea's money is spent, we will never admit defeat in this battle!" Weiss said through gritted teeth.

In my heart, I also complained about Han Feizi, Zhang Liang and others: What happened? Can they govern the country?Will there be a war?

"What about large-scale conscription? For example, first increase Wei's soldiers from 15 to [-]?" Pang Juan asked.

"Conscription!" Weiss agreed.
