The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 319: The King of Qin is such a kind man!

Ji Wuye is of course a smart man, and he naturally understands this truth.

Then why didn't he leave good karma in Qin?

At the beginning of Zichu's accession to the throne, Lu Buwei was powerful and prominent. At that time, Ji Wuye was already involved with Lu Buwei.

The two of them just had a very shallow political understanding.

When there is a conflict of interest, this tiny relationship is not even as thick as a piece of paper.

But when there is a conflict of interest, the relationship is too close.

As the Qin State became more and more powerful, Ji Wuye attached more and more importance to this relationship in Qin State.

Correspondingly, at this time of war, Lu Buwei also needed to use this relationship.

At the instruction of Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei sent secret envoys to persuade Ji Wuye to make the right choice.

The secret envoy was named Li Jian, the second son of Li Bing and the minister of Ying Zheng.

Li Jian has been intelligent since childhood. He is only 20 years old this year, has a heroic appearance and extraordinary courage.

Ying Zheng admired it very much, and he took advantage of this grand farce to help these ministers accumulate some achievements and experience.

Li Bing's three sons are all in Xianyang. Shuzhong is a special area, and Li Bing's prestige in Shuzhong is extraordinary. For a high-ranking official like him, if his legitimate son is not in Xianyang, it would really make people feel uneasy.

Ji Wuye is not a person who judges people by their appearance, at least when it comes to men.

If a young man is entrusted with an important task, there are only three possibilities: first, he has extraordinary ability; second, he comes from an extraordinary family; third, he has both.

Ji Wuye's arrogance and arrogance are selective.

Facing the secret envoy sent by Lu Buwei, he maintained an attitude neither humble nor arrogant, and dismissed all the soldiers except the two of them.

Ji Wuye spoke first, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Prime Minister Lu's secret envoy would be such a talented young man. May I know your name and your current position?"

Li Jian smiled and said, "I don't deserve such praise from General Ji. My name is Li Jian, and I am the King's Attendant. I am currently serving as the Chief Clerk of General Zhang Tang."

Ji Wuye's eyes lit up, it seemed that this person was the third type.

Ji Wuye laughed and praised: "Your Excellency is extraordinary and handsome. I know you are extraordinary at first sight, and it is indeed true."

"I didn't expect you to be the king's attendant. I am honored to meet you. Nice to meet you."

Li Jian quickly replied, "No, no, the general is brave and famous throughout the world. I would never dare to be praised by the general. I am really ashamed to be valued by the general."

Ji Wuye laughed and said, "You are truly a humble person. Please take a seat."

After the two of them sat down, Ji Wuye asked, "I wonder why you came here today?"

Li Jian smiled and said, "I am here today to give the general a reward."

"Oh? Please tell me more."

"General, do you know that a disaster is imminent?"

Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and chuckled, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be mysterious. This general is a rough man and always likes to speak his mind."

Li Jian also laughed.

"General, you are a straightforward person. If that's the case, I will speak frankly."

"My king is a benevolent and trustworthy ruler, and he always puts trust and integrity first. But now Chu and Zhao are betraying their trust and breaking the alliance for their own selfish interests. The king is furious."

"My king has mobilized 500,000 soldiers from Hanoi and Guanzhong, and has 1,000 Tyrannical Mechanical Beasts from the Gongshu family, and is determined to annihilate the enemies from Chu and Zhao." "The general is also a famous general of the time, and he knows military affairs well. He should know that with the elite troops of the Qin Dynasty, equipped with the Tyrannical Mechanical Beasts from the Gongshu family, they have the advantage of location and people, and the outcome of this battle will be decided."

"In this war involving millions of soldiers and seven countries, does the military strength of South Korea count as a disaster?"

Ji Wuye said with a cold face: "After all, we still have the advantage in military strength, and the outcome is still unknown."

Li Jian laughed loudly: "I told you the truth with sincerity, why do you say that?"

"Okay, as the general said, even if our Great Qin cannot win, the battle with the coalition forces will end in a draw at best."

Li Jian sneered: "But have you ever thought about what will happen after the war, General?"

"Han was originally a vassal state of our Great Qin, and the King of Han was a minister of our Great Qin. This time, Han followed other countries to attack Qin. This is such a naked act of rebellion. Have you ever thought about how to face our Great Qin afterwards?"

Ji Wuye replied: "That is the king's business. This general is only responsible for leading the troops to fight. Now I am following orders and I will do my best."

Li Jian shook his head: "General, how unwise you are."

"General, you are already a high-ranking official in Han. Let's not talk about whether you can win. Even if you win, with Chu, Wei, and Zhao as the three kingdoms, how much can Han benefit? And what reward can you get?"

"The general is just a person of a different surname, and his foundation in the court is weak. If his achievements surpass those of the king, given the character of the King of Han, hehe."

"Besides, this battle is already a losing one, and the worst that can happen is a draw with heavy losses."

"The general led an army of 100,000 to fight, but returned with heavy casualties. I'm afraid this is a heavy responsibility."

Ji Wuye was speechless. These were what he was worried about.

After a long while, Ji Wuye finally spoke: "What do you mean?"

Li Jian smiled slightly: "General, you should also know the true nature of our king. This alliance was instigated by Chu and Zhao, and has nothing to do with Han. Our king hates Chu and Zhao the most. Why should the general lead Han to fight for Chu and Zhao?"

"It is now destined to be a futile battle."

"How can you bear to let your brothers risk their lives for the benefit of another country?"

"Besides, even if we continue to fight, we will end up with nothing. Isn't that unwise?"

"General, why don't you take advantage of the next battle and retreat."

"In this way, although the general has no achievements, the army is not damaged at all, which is also not a fault. In this way, the vitality of South Korea can be preserved. Isn't it wonderful?"

Ji Wuye said slowly: "This general is following the order of the king. How can I retreat without fighting?"

Li Jian nodded: "General, you are right. My king has already thought of your difficulties."

"I have already ordered General Meng to pretend to attack you, and send another detachment to attack the heart of South Korea. You can take advantage of the situation and retreat. This way, no one can say anything."

"My king has always been benevolent and never wants to cause excessive killing. General, rest assured. As long as you cooperate, the king has issued a strict order that there will be no excessive killing in this war against South Korea."

"And this can also be considered a merit for the general. On the one hand, he retreated to save his country and monarch, which shows his loyalty. This is also a merit."

"Secondly, in response to this war, the Qin Dynasty has already made all the necessary preparations and will definitely inflict heavy damage on all the other countries. If all the other countries suffer losses but South Korea remains unscathed, this can also be considered a merit."

"In the end, the general was able to save his brothers and comrades. Isn't that perfect?"

Ji Wuye was extremely satisfied with Qin's arrangement. It was very thoughtful and took into account his own difficulties.

The King of Qin is such a kind man!
