A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 46: Prepare to win!

I hastily came back to my senses from my daze.
Yang Shuman raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. The moment she saw the person's face clearly.

A slightly surprised voice echoed throughout the cafe:

"It's you?!?!?"

Yang Shuman couldn't control her emotions and her voice was a little loud.

So much so that the students at the next table who were still discussing "The Poor Man" stopped their discussion and couldn't help but look here.

Frankly speaking, not only Yang Shuman didn't expect it, even Jiang Hai himself didn't expect it -

Yang Shuman, the editor who has been in direct contact with me online, just now
He actually passed by me?

As if she couldn't believe it, Yang Shuman stared at Jiang Hai in front of her:
“You’re Rainy Night?!?”

"If the rainy night you're talking about is a rainy night with an umbrella but no knife," Jiang Hai unhurriedly pulled open the chair and sat opposite her, "then that should be me."

"Editor Yang Shuman, nice to meet you."

Frankly speaking, the real image of "Rainy Night" is not quite what Yang Shuman imagined. She originally thought that -

On a rainy night, he would be a middle-aged man who is a little older and would look more melancholy overall?

Who would have thought that when Yang Shuman saw Jiang Hai's true appearance, his first reaction was
So young?!??!

While admiring Jiang Hai's youth, Yang Shuman couldn't help but feel somewhat puzzled.
How on earth does this look depressing?
Jiang Hai's writing style is that of a solemn one mixed with a bit of melancholy. Is it the kind of writing that seems to have seen through the misery of the world and therefore wants to reveal the truth about the world?

Based on the stereotype that books are like their authors, Yang Shuman initially thought that

Jiang Hai is a middle-aged man who has been beaten by society.

Who would have thought that Jiang Hai is not only young, but also has the tone of "depressing" and "bitter and vengeful" in the book.
Can't find the slightest correspondence in him?
'Isn't this a sunny and cheerful boy?'

Although thinking this in her heart, Yang Shuman still stood up immediately and shook hands with Jiang Hai:
"Hello Yuye, it's the first time we meet. Oh no, to be exact, it should be the second time we meet! We just met!"

"I'm editor Yang Shuman, and I'm glad to meet you too."

"I'm not bragging to you, Zhao Kuo was so young, and he met a famous general like Bai Qi on the battlefield for the first time. It took forty-six days of fighting before the city was captured. This is already quite good. You are really not as good as him."

"I think so. The commander has a lot of responsibility in deciding the outcome of a war, but it is actually a test of national strength. Zhao has run out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers are skinny and hungry. In this situation, they have to fight against the powerful Qin soldiers. To be honest, if it were me, I really don't know how to fight this battle!"

"You two are obsessed with reading a novel, right? Didn't you see what the author said at the end of the article? Speculation! All of this is speculation! The reason why I wrote such a plot is to look at history from more different angles! 'The above situation is purely the author's personal speculation, and the specific situation is mainly based on official history'. You two didn't read this sentence at all."

In fact, this feeling is quite strange.

The readers of your book sit next to you and discuss the contents of your book almost obsessively.

However, as readers, they have no idea——

It turns out that the author of the book they were discussing was sitting right next to them?

Although some students think that Jiang Hai's point of view is wrong, he should not whitewash Zhao Kuo, who has always had a bad reputation for "talking about war on paper".

However, no matter whether they agreed with Jiang Hai's point of view or denied Jiang Hai's point of view, they did not deny one thing -

That is, Jiang Hai really brought the character of "Zhao Kuo" in the book to life!
However, we know that Zhao Kuo is just a paper tiger.

But when the young general Zhao Kuo was really defeated and committed suicide in front of Gu Nan——

Everyone couldn't help but cry!

When the Zhao soldiers were besieged in Changping, they ran out of ammunition and food, and even resorted to cannibalism.

When Zhao Kuo knew that he would die, he still led his soldiers to charge fearlessly. Those tragic scenes, as if traveling through the long river of history, once again appeared before everyone's eyes!

The two sides attacked and defended for forty-six days, and the Zhao soldiers were starving to the point of being unrecognizable, with corpses piled up like mountains.

In the end, Zhao Kuo, the commander-in-chief, accepted the Qin's offer and chose to surrender to Bai Qi:
"Please treat my Zhao country's children well!"

You said Zhao Kuo was afraid of death?

After announcing the surrender of the city, Zhao Kuo stood in front of the city wall, in front of Gu Nan and thousands of Qin soldiers.

He drew his sword and committed suicide on the spot!
You say Bai Qi is disloyal and unjust?

He had clearly agreed to Zhao's surrender and promised his chief general Zhao Kuo to treat Zhao's soldiers well, but the next day,
He then resolutely ordered the massacre of 300,000 Zhao soldiers who surrendered?
Did Zhao Kuo have any choice?

He has no choice!
Apart from surrendering, he saw no possibility of survival in this war that had lasted for more than two years.

Does Bai Qi have any choice?

He has no choice!
As the commander of the Qin army, if he still kept the 300,000 soldiers of the Zhao army and provided them with food and supplies every day when his own army was short of food,
Then I'm afraid the entire Qin army will mutiniate!
In this war, no one can be called a good guy, and no one can be called a bad guy in an absolute sense.

Because the two sides belonged to different camps, only one side was completely killed by the other side.

This war, it will end
He watched as 300,000 Zhao soldiers died tragically before his eyes.

Gu Nan was seen shouting at the top of his lungs to stop this brutal massacre, but to no avail in the end.

For a moment, the readers who recalled this scene couldn't help but shed tears:
“It’s really tragic.”

"Although I don't agree with the author's point of view," the boy with glasses sitting near the door of the milk tea shop silently wiped the tears from his eyes, "But I have to admit that this book--"

“The author really wrote it well.”

The boy sitting next to him, who looked a bit delicate, also felt a bit breathless when discussing these heavy topics:

"Although these plots really make me feel uncomfortable, this book——"

“It’s really nice looking too”

Jiang Hai and Yang Shuman, who were sitting on the inner side of the milk tea shop, witnessed the entire argument among the boys.

Yang Shuman stared at the river and sea in front of him with some curiosity:
“As an author, it’s great to hear readers discussing the plot of my book”

"How do you feel now?"

Jiang Hai took a sip of the milk tea in the cup: "I don't feel anything."

The book must be a good book.

I just don’t know Jiang Hai’s psychological expectations.

Recalling the reason why she came here, Yang Shuman put down the milk tea in her hand, blinked her bright eyes and stared at him:
"You are currently ranked seventh on the leaderboard."

"Have you ever thought about where you will end up on the list in half a month when the Star Glory Cup officially ends?"

"What are your plans next?"

Maybe it was serious, or maybe it was half-joking.

Jiang Hai raised his head and looked directly at Yang Shuman:

“Ready to win.”
