The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 272 Zhao State, I am here to take revenge

It's a pity that King Xi of Yan didn't know that it is not difficult to formulate policies or to see through the general trend. What is difficult is to actually implement them and put them into practice, and whether they can be accomplished as he wants.

It has always been the case that it is easier said than done.

This is true for both individuals and countries.

The idea is correct, but due to lack of ability, it is inevitable that things will backfire.

Under the system of Yan State, the highest orders would always become completely different when they reached the lower levels.

The most difficult part of governing a country is conveying government orders. If, at the very bottom, there is still 70% similarity out of 10, it is already an extraordinary administration, and it can definitely be called a clean administration.

As for the State of Yan, haha.

Given the system and quality of officials in Yan State, there will always be a situation where people have high expectations but low skills.

As for the current combat effectiveness of the Yan army, haha, several battles have proved that it cannot be said to be vulnerable, but it can only be said to be defeated at the first blow.

Prince Xi of Yan had good vision, but his body couldn’t keep up with his moves.

As for the result, everyone knows it.

Ju Xin nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is wise, what you said is very true, this is indeed the best time."

"But now there is still the biggest problem. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am not trying to boost the morale of others and destroy my own prestige. It's just that the Zhao army has just won a great victory and is indeed in high spirits. They also have many elite cavalry. Compared with the infantry of Dayan, they are not at an advantage."

"Let's not talk about that. After all, it's common for an incompetent general to kill the entire army, and the main problem is the leading general."

"As the saying goes: It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it's hard to get a good general."

"Li Mu of Zhao is a rare general. His ability is evident from his past battles. I believe that there are not many people in the world who can defeat him."

“War is a matter of great importance to a country. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and destruction. It must be carefully considered and must not be initiated lightly.”

"Fighting head-on with such a strong general is definitely not a good thing. I'm afraid that if we win, it will be a miserable victory, and if we lose, it will be a disaster."

"We are fighting Zhao now because Zhao is the most dangerous country. However, we must not let both sides suffer losses, which will only benefit Qin. Qin is in as much danger as Zhao, and may even be more dangerous. If Qin destroys Zhao, it will sweep across the world and no one will be able to stop it."

King Yan laughed and said, "What Ju Qing said is very true. I am also worried about this matter."

"But Li Mu is no longer a threat."

"Li Mu was once a friend of Zhao's former crown prince, Chunping Hou. Some time ago, he even brought Chunping Hou back from Qin. For this, King Zhao was quite wary of him and had him sent back to guard Yandai in the northern border."

Ju Xin was overjoyed: "This is really great news!"

"If so, Le Cheng is the only one left in the Zhao army. I know Le Cheng well. Although he is not easy to deal with, he is definitely not my opponent."

King Xi of Yan shook his head slightly: "It's not Le Cheng. King Zhao did not appoint Le Cheng as the general. He appointed someone else. Ju Qing should also know this person."

Ju Xin asked in surprise, "Besides Le Cheng, is there anyone else in Zhao State who can take this high position? Could it be that Lian Po has gone back?"

"It won't be good if it's Lian Po either. Lian Po is best at fighting a steady battle."

King Xi of Yan said: "Neither, it's Pang Nuan."

Ju Xin was shocked: "It's him? How is this possible? He's still alive?"

"I heard that you once knew Pang Nuan. I wonder if you know this person?"

Ju Xin sighed and smiled helplessly: "My king, the first time we met was fifty years ago. We both served King Wuling of Zhao. After the Shaqiu Incident, he became disheartened and lost his will. He followed Mr. Heguanzi and retired. I heard that he lived in seclusion in Chu." "Yes, yes, I'm not dead yet, how could he die?"

Ju Xin couldn't help but fall into thoughts of the past.

Sometimes living too long is not necessarily a good thing, because all the people and things that were once familiar are being destroyed by time.

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

Mountains turn into valleys, and oceans become mulberry fields. Ten years can show the coming and going of spring and autumn. A hundred years can prove birth, aging, sickness and death. A thousand years can show the change of dynasties. Ten thousand years can show the movement of stars.

Time is the greatest force. Under this force, even the sun will go out one day.

People are ignorant when they are young, and they have to learn to face reality when they grow up. It can be said that the best time of their lives is when they are young. At that time, they are no longer completely ignorant, but they don’t know much. They most desire the understanding and attention of the world, but they don’t have the ability to do so.

I will think about a lot of messy things, but I won’t do much, so friends who want to be stupid together are so precious and important.

If you can’t find friends who can live and die with you when you are young, it will be difficult to meet them again in this life.

Ju Xin and Pang Nuan are such a pair of friends.

The two men met when they were young and served under the same powerful lord. That time was a beautiful memory that they would never forget.

I don’t know when it started, but Ju Xin often thinks of his friends from his youth. Those past memories seem so beautiful in the boring days.

It’s a pity that there are really not many old friends who are still alive today.

The only two great rulers he truly admired, King Wuling of Zhao and King Zhao of Yan, had both passed away long ago.

Yue Yi, Qin Kai, Su Dai, Qu Yong, and Su Qin have all passed away long ago.

In the past twenty years, only Zou Yan was left, but he had also settled in Qin State and had not been seen for several years.

I really didn't expect that, Pang Nuan, you are still alive. I haven't seen you for more than 50 years. You are obviously a few years older than me. Why did you come out at this age?

Yes, I came out too. I came out to repay the kindness of King Zhao, and you came out to repay the kindness of King Wuling.

"Ju Qing? Ju Qing?!"

Ju Xin suddenly came to his senses and saw King Xi of Yan looking at him in confusion. He hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was rude for a moment. When you mentioned Pang Nuan just now, I remembered some past events."

King Yan smiled happily and said, "No problem, no problem. I wonder what Ju Qing thinks of this man?"

Ju Xin pondered for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This man has a strong temper and is easily impulsive. He has also been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than 50 years and has long been ignorant of worldly affairs. It will be easy for me to deal with Pang Nuan."

The King of Yan was overjoyed, he sat up and bowed, "Since that is the case, I would like to invite you, Lord Ju, to be my general. You can command the troops of Great Yan to take back the land that was invaded by Zhao. Please help Great Yan!"

Ju Xin hurriedly stood up to accept the order. At this point, he could only do his best and bowed: "Your Majesty, you are so kind. How dare I not obey your order?"

"But I have one more thing to say. The Zhao army is strong and this matter is extremely risky. Please think twice."

King Xi of Yan hesitated for a moment, then said decisively: "I know it all, I am willing to give it a try, and I also believe in Ju Qing's ability."

Ju Xin bowed firmly and said, "Since this is the case, I will obey you with my life!"

King Xi of Yan immediately announced at the court that he would invite Ju Xin to be the general. King Xi of Yan had already prepared for the war, and all he lacked was a great general. With a great general, he would raise an army of 200,000 in a short period of time, and with great fanfare, he would go on stage to appoint the general, and order Yan Chunjun and Prince Dan to be his deputy generals, and lead the army to attack Zhao!
