The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 316: Dilemma
Chunshen Jun was also moved by the look in Pang Nuan's eyes and nodded heavily.

But when Chunshen Jun returned to the tent, he had calmed down and became calm again.

After thinking about it seriously, it still doesn't work. At the moment, it seems that this alliance may not be a good decision, especially after Chunshen Jun got the reaction of the King of Qin and learned that the princess gave birth to the eldest son.

Chunshen Jun, who had always supported the attack on Qin, also regretted it deeply.

But now, what else can I do? I can only go down this path to the end.

Attacking Qin is necessary, but how to attack Qin is a big problem.

Chunshen Jun sighed and asked the king for instructions. This decision could not be made and he could not take this responsibility.

Chunshen Jun sent someone to return to the country in an urgent manner to ask for instructions.

And these 560,000 troops had nothing to do every day, and became increasingly lazy.

Pang Nuan was extremely anxious and asked Chunshen Jun several times, but was always suppressed by Chunshen Jun.

Seeing this situation, the generals of various countries also became uneasy.

The current situation is not as simple as I imagined, and it doesn’t seem to be very good.

Especially the chief minister Chunshen Jun and the commander Pang Nuan, they each have their own ulterior motives and cannot be trusted.

Everyone is nervous and connected to each other.

In this kind of chaos, we don’t seek to achieve anything but to avoid mistakes. Avoiding mistakes is a achievement!

The interests of various countries and the interests of generals are not completely consistent.

Among the generals of the six states, only Yan Chunjun of Yan was the most relaxed.

Every day, he would run around the tents of generals from all countries except Zhao. He didn't discuss any serious business, but simply invited them to drink and have fun.

Drinking is not allowed in the army, and women are not allowed, but who can control Yan Chunjun?

Especially since Yan Chunjun's purpose of this trip was to cause trouble.

What he brought was not only fine wine, but also beautiful women.

To be honest, even Yan Dan couldn't stand Yan Chunjun's debauchery and thought it was really shameful.

However, he also knew what he should do. As a prince of the royal family, he was naturally familiar with many social engagements.

Just like now, Yan Chunjun invited Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei. In this military camp, inside the big tent, there are not only rare delicacies and fine wines, but each person is accompanied and served by several enchanting beauties, and in the middle of the big tent there are several beautiful dancers dancing gracefully.

Once you enter this big tent, it doesn't feel like a military camp at all. It wouldn't be inappropriate to call it a banquet at a noble's home.

Several people passed cups around and toasted each other. The beauties around them smiled happily, tried to please them and served them attentively. Everyone was laughing and talking non-stop.

Even Yan Dan and Bai Yifei, who were under great pressure in this boring army, could not help but hug the beauties and drink more wine.

While they were chatting and laughing, Yan Chunjun suddenly let out a sigh.

Ji Wuye held the beauties in his arms, looking unrestrained, holding a beauty on each side, his hands had already touched somewhere else, and when he saw Yan Chunjun sighing, he thought for a moment and asked, "Why is your Majesty sighing?"

"Hahaha, do you think the beauty is not pretty enough?"

"After all, we are in the army, so it's good to have it. After we return to the army, I will send you a few beauties, they are definitely not bad."

Yan Chunjun laughed loudly: "Thank you very much, General Ji. I have heard for a long time that the beauty in General Ji's Quege is extraordinary. General Ji is willing to give her up. Thank you very much."

Ji Wuye laughed loudly: "It's just a small matter. Your Majesty has shown such hospitality, how can I not return the favor?"

Yan Chunjun sighed again: "Alas, I am not sighing for the beauty, I am sighing for whether I can enjoy the beauty again."

"Now the coalition forces are having difficulty advancing at Hangu Pass. If we are all together, we will naturally not be afraid of the Qin army. But if we divide our forces, it is hard to say how the battle will turn out."

Ji Wuye echoed, "What Yanchun said makes sense, but there is no other way if we don't divide our troops. Hangu Pass is a natural barrier, and no matter how many people we have, there is no way we can stop it. Meng Ao is not someone you can easily mess with."

"Yes, but I don't know what Chunshen Jun and Pang Nuan mean. If we continue to waste time like this, the food loss will be a scary number. We really can't afford to delay any longer."

"Moreover, Qin is a powerful country with many people. The longer we delay, the more troops they can mobilize. I'm afraid that if we delay any further, our forces won't have much of an advantage. And we're on Qin's territory. Without the support of the people and the advantage of the terrain, how can we fight this war?"

Ji Wuye's mind raced, and he took another sip of the wine, laughing and saying, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The coalition army of one million is invincible anyway."

Yan Dan interrupted and said, "General Ji is a great military strategist of the time, and his reputation is known to all the countries. Naturally, he is not worried about fighting on the battlefield."

"What Dan and Uncle Wang are worried about is not this war, but what will happen after the war."

"This alliance was initiated by Chu and Zhao. Chu is a remote country and out of reach, so the country that will benefit the most is Zhao. In the past two years, Zhao has become increasingly powerful and is almost as powerful as Qin. I wonder if it will become the new overlord after this benefit. If that happens, our Yan will have a hard time."

Yan Dan shook his head, smiled bitterly, and drank a glass of wine in big gulps.

If you keep saying that you are doing it for the good of others, they will not believe you. However, if you talk about your own difficulties and then talk about the difficulties of others, and then entangle your own interests with those of the other party, then it will be easier to negotiate.

Ji Wuye didn't know what Yan Dan meant by exposing his own scars, so he just laughed it off: "Your Highness, you are too serious. Yan State has been established for 800 years and is the most respected country. How can Zhao State, which has only been established for more than 100 years, threaten Yan State?"

Yan Dan smiled slightly and talked about another matter: "General Ji, do you know the current King of Qin?"

Ji Wuye was stunned by the question and didn't react.

Yan Dan suddenly asked Bai Yifei: "Dan has heard that Xue Yi Hou once went to Qin. I wonder if he has ever met the King of Qin?"

Bai Yifei's hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment, and he slowly said, "I have met him once." Yan Dan asked with a smile, "I wonder what kind of king Xue Yi Hou thinks the King of Qin is?"

For a moment, Ji Wuye and Yan Chunjun were staring at Bai Yifei, wanting to see how he viewed King Qin.

Bai Yifei was silent for a few breaths, then slowly spoke: "This is a king I have never seen or heard of."

"It is a tragedy for all nations that Qin has such a king."

Yan Dan couldn't control the force of his hand holding the wine glass, and the glass was slightly deformed.

Ji Wuye and Yan Chunjun were speechless for a moment.

Yan Dan barely managed to control his thoughts, smiled and sighed, "What Xue Yi Hou said is very true, Dan also thinks so."

"Dan was good friends with the King of Qin when he was young. The King of Qin was extraordinary since he was young. It is no exaggeration to say that he was a genius."

"The King of Qin is very clear about gratitude and resentment, and will never forget his grievances."

"Chu and Zhao broke their alliance, disregarded the marriage alliance, and attacked Qin brazenly. After this war, I'm sure the world will never be at peace."

Bai Yifei nodded in agreement: "Your Highness, what the Crown Prince said is very true. I have seen that the King of Qin is very majestic and domineering, and he will definitely not be able to tolerate such a great humiliation."

"But this should be a good thing for Yan, right? Zhao is busy dealing with Qin, so it naturally has no time to invade Yan. With Yan's strength, it may not be a bad idea to wait for an opportunity to attack Zhao."

Yan Dan smiled and said, "This is naturally a good thing for Great Yan, but it may not be a good thing for the two generals and South Korea."

"Given the relationship between Qin and Han, Han has united to fight against Qin. I wonder if Marquis Xueyi thinks the King of Qin will just let it go?"

"I wonder what should we do if Han and the King of Qin become enemies?"

"And I wonder what will happen to the two of you as the main and deputy generals."

Bai Yifei remained silent.

Ji Wuye also fell silent.

After a long while, Bai Yifei replied: "The king has given his orders. The Bai family has been blessed by the king for generations. We will be loyal to the country and will not worry about anything else."

Ji Wuye agreed: "That's right, that's what I meant."

Yan Dan complained in his heart, if you really don't consider other things, you wouldn't say you have the king's order. Who would believe you with such a bitter face?

Yan Chunjun laughed and interrupted their conversation: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink and talk about it when the fight starts."

For a moment, there was laughter and joy, and toasts were clinking.

After the banquet, Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei seemed to be a little drunk. They declined Yan Chunjun's offer to send someone to see them off, and they slowly returned to their tent with their personal guards.

After walking a short distance, the two used their internal energy to dispel the alcohol and were not drunk in the first place.

Ji Wuye ordered his personal guards to lag far behind, and only he and Bai Yifei rode their horses side by side and rode slowly.

Ji Wuye asked in a deep voice: "My Lord, what do you mean by what Yan Dan said today?"

Bai Yifei was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "No matter what, King Qin is an enemy I absolutely do not want to face."

"I will definitely not be a match."

"None of us are."

"In the eyes of King Qin, we are no better than three-year-old children."

"As for Han and Qin, the general should know this better than me."

Ji Wuye knew very well that Bai Yifei was a proud and arrogant person, but he never expected that Bai Yifei's words would be so direct and insightful.

It seems that what his retainers said is true. Even Bai Yifei holds this view, so he really needs to prepare a way out.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Lu’s connections have never been cut off, and they have always been in secret contact.

Ji Wuye sighed and said, "My Lord, to be honest, I don't agree with attacking Qin either."

"South Korea is too weak compared to Qin. Even if it gains an advantage for a while, South Korea will never be able to bear the revenge and anger of Qin."

"If the King of Qin is determined to vent his anger, even if he can't do anything to the King, he will ask the King to hand over our leader. My Lord, what do you think the King will do?"

"Now that the king is seriously ill, he is determined to participate in this matter and does not allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get involved at all. This may mean that he is preparing for failure. If you think about it carefully, you and I may not be abandoned."

"On the current chessboard, you and I are just insignificant pieces."

Bai Yifei whispered, "I don't agree either, and not many people in the court agree either. Only Zhang Kaidi insists on doing this beyond his capabilities, and the king is also determined to attack Qin. What can you and I do?"

Ji Wuye snorted coldly: "Humph, this old man Zhang Kaidi, anyway, it's not him who goes to the battlefield, it's us who are risking our lives. If he succeeds, it's because of his strategy, and if he fails, it's because of our improper command."

Bai Yifei asked: "What does the general mean?"

Ji Wuye whispered: "The army attacking Qin this time includes many of our trusted aides and family assets. If we fight to the death, how can we survive?"

"And if we really fight, the King of Qin will definitely hold a grudge against us. If we lose more of our wealth, who knows if this isn't Zhang Kaidi's conspiracy."
