Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 297 Liu Ji Feels Stressed Up (Second Update)

War is the continuation of politics!

The final outcome of an all-out confrontation between countries depends on the total political, military, economic, and diplomatic strength of the two sides.

In May of the fifth year of Emperor Qin II, Liu Ji left Youbeiping and crossed Gushui to Yuyang.With the assistance of Han Xin, Fan Kuai and others, they began to plan the major event of going west to destroy Yan.

"Your Majesty, there is an old man who claims to be Mr. Dong asking to see—!" Guan Ying strode towards Liu Ji and bowed solemnly to Liu Ji: "Your Majesty, do you see me or not?"

At this time, a wise elder in Yuyang area, an old man named Dong Gong, asked to see Liu Ji.At first Liu Ji was depressed and didn't want to see Dong Gong at all.He is quite disgusted with these Confucian people.

"Why don't you see me, Your Majesty, it won't have much impact on our army!"

There was a gleam of wisdom in Cao Shen's eyes. As Liu Ji's rare man with both civil and military skills, he naturally knew that there were crouching tigers, hidden dragons on the land of the Central Plains, and some folks must not be underestimated.

Especially those who dare to come alone, nine out of ten are burdened with unrivaled talents.

……

After thinking up to this point, Cao Shen paused every word, and said: "Besides, if the elder has a long-term plan, it will benefit the king without any harm, and why don't you see it?"

Hearing this, Liu Ji took a deep look at Cao Shen, waved his hand, and said, "Go and invite Mr. Dong in, remember to be polite!"

"No." With a nod, Cao Shen strode away.

……

After a while, Cao Shen, an old man with gray beard came in one after the other. Mr. Dong bowed deeply to Liu Ji and said, "I pay my respects to the King of Liaodong!"

"Mr. Dong, you don't need to be too polite!" Liu Ji's eyes flashed: "Quickly, please—!"

At this moment, Liu Ji's attitude was not in the slightest contemptuous.Although he looked down on these people, Liu Ji, who had a keen political sense, would never express it in front of others.

Because he knows that conquering the world and governing the region requires the help of these people.Without these people, his ambition would have been nothing but a dream, never having a chance to be realized.

"Thank you, King Liaodong!" Dong Gong stood up calmly, his expression extremely calm.

Seeing Dong Gong acting like this, Liu Ji narrowed his modest eyes.With his astonishing intuition, he felt that Dong Gong in front of him was extraordinary.

Liu Ji knew in his heart that this time he might have met a true god.Thinking of this, Liu Ji's attitude suddenly became humble.

This is Liu Ji's nature. He doesn't care about those who are useful, and he doesn't care about those who are useless.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Ji looked at Dong Gong, paused every word, and said, "I don't know why Dong Gong came here, please tell me clearly!"

Hearing this, Dong Gong knew that it was enough for him to show off, and it was time to show his real skills.Then he cupped his hands and said: "I heard that the old man said: Those who follow virtue will prosper, and those who go against virtue will perish. There is no name for the teacher, and nothing will be achieved."

"Therefore, only when it is clear that the enemy is a traitor can we help righteousness conquer. Now Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is rebellious and innocent, murdering kings and lords, and he is a traitor who is punished by the whole world."

"I have benevolence, and the world will return to its heart. I can make the world obey without bravery. I have righteousness, and the world will follow, and I can make the world rule without force."

"Please ask the king of Liaodong to send a funeral for Emperor Yi, lead the three armies to mourn for Emperor Yi in plain clothes, and tell the princes all over the place to affirm the righteousness of You Beiping when the soldiers sent out."

"In this way, everyone in Hainei admires the virtue of the king, and the behavior of the king can be compared with the three generations of holy kings!"

……

Liu Ji didn't care about being compared with the three generations of sage kings.His family knows his own affairs, and what he cares about is the ownership of the Central Plains.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, Liu Ji pondered for a moment, and said: "What Mr. Dong said is very true. Without the presence of Mr. Liu Ji, Liu Ji would not have heard such good advice!"

"For this matter, I will think carefully about it!"

……

Liu Ji had already decided in his heart to mourn Emperor Yi.But now Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is very powerful, and he doesn't want to provoke him for no reason.

He accepted Dong Gong's opinion and sent the other party away.Looking at the people in the hall, Liu Ji smiled coldly: "I don't care about the reputation of the three generations of holy kings, I just want the land of the Central Plains."

"My dear friends, is there a way to deal with this?"

Hearing this, Cao Shen smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, although Dong Gong is an old-fashioned old man, his words are not without reason."

With that said, Cao Can walked to a map depicting the land of the Central Plains: "Your Majesty, please take a look. Now Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has broken through Langya County and is advancing on Linzi County. The state of Qi is in jeopardy."

"However, Qi is far away from Liaodong, and there is also Zhao Guo. Now our surroundings are not compatible with Xiang Yu. At this time, the promulgation of the crusade against Xiang Yu will not burn Liaodong for a while."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to unite Zhao and Qi to provide a stable environment for our army to annex Yan!"

"it is good!"

Liu Ji yelled, he could tell the difference between good and bad.After clapping his hands and applauding, Liu Ji ordered decisively, saying: "The officers and men of the three armies wear filial piety, gather the soldiers and civilians, and mourn for three days!"

"Promise." With a nod of promise, everyone turned their heads and left, leaving only Cao Can.

The two of them were relatively silent for a long time before Liu Jifang sighed quietly and said, "Draft an appeal and send it to the princes and kings immediately."

"promise."

At this moment, Cao Shen was overjoyed.He knew that once the proclamation was promulgated, it would mean that Liaodong and Western Chu were at odds, and Liu Ji, king of Liaodong, could only stride forward.

In the empty hall, Liu Ji sat quietly by himself.He had known the news of Emperor Yi's death a long time ago, after all, the overlord of Western Chu was mourning the entire country.

He knew better about the death of Emperor Yi, and the biggest suspect was Xiang Yu.Because this is not only the understanding of personal grievances between Xiang Yu and Emperor Yi, but also the end of the struggle between the two for the Chu state power.

Liu Ji knew that with the death of Emperor Yi.It also means that since the chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, the short-lived revival of the Seven Kingdoms and the end of the era of royal revival.

"Qin Emperor Hu Hai, overlord Xiang Yu, this world is about to be decided for me, Liu Ji!" A murderous intent flashed in Liu Ji's eyes.

Liu Ji knows the pros and cons between him and Hu Hai Xiang Yu, and even more clearly the gap between them.Because of this, Liu Ji has always attached great importance to his reputation.

Because compared to Xiang Yu's notoriety for massacring prisoners, Hu Hai is still notorious, so he looks much more innocent.Liu Ji knew that this was his only advantage right now.

Western Chu occupies nine counties, with strong soldiers and strong horses, with Xiang Yu as the commander and Fan Zeng as the military adviser, the momentum is unstoppable like a rainbow.The Great Qin Empire was in the middle of Ananguan, and the mountains and rivers were steep to hold on.

Whether it is Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, Taiwei Weiliao, or even Hu Hai, Emperor Qin, they are all enemies, and they must not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure!
