The protagonist travels back to the time when Ying Zheng just ascended the throne. This scoundrel discovers that his strength increases dramatically every year.
Thus, the Great Qin gains a ki...
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the soldier's eyes suddenly flashed with fanaticism.
His voice also changed, becoming extremely loud and resonant.
"The coach said it!"
"Now the world is divided into seven kingdoms, all of which are thieves of Zhou. For hundreds of years, there has been turmoil and war, with corpses floating everywhere, all thanks to the seven kingdoms."
The moment these words were spoken, the entire court fell silent.
Zhou the thief?
Damn it, how can you say something like that?
Are these words even worthy of their attention?
In the end, it has to be the Commandant of the Guards; he dares to say anything.
All eyes turned to Ying Zheng, since these words also included Ying Zheng's ancestors.
The soldier, being honest and simple by nature, now realized he had spoken out of turn and even harmed the wicked husband. He trembled and dared not continue speaking.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng remained expressionless, without the slightest ripple of emotion. He nodded to the soldier, "Continue speaking, there is no need to be afraid."
The soldier steeled his heart. The wicked man had treated them well, and he couldn't let these few words ruin him. Even if he died here today, he couldn't let the wicked man be harmed.
The soldier took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and continued, "The commander-in-chief said that the decline of Zhou was due to its lack of virtue. On the surface, it was because it was divided and devoured by treacherous ministers, but in reality, it was because of its injustice and lack of virtue. No wonder the seven kingdoms are not to blame."
"The world was divided among warlords, each fighting their own battles."
He believed that all the heroes harbored great ambitions and wanted to usher in a peaceful world, which is why they started the war and attempted to unify the country.
"However, no one was able to achieve it. In the back-and-forth battles, selfishness grew stronger, and the desire for peace was never realized before the emperor collapsed, turning into deep hatred and a struggle for power."
"This is the real sin of the Seven Kingdoms."
The soldier glanced furtively at Ying Zheng, noticing a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth. He quickly continued, "The commander-in-chief also said, 'Only the rulers of Qin, through hardship and toil, have never forgotten their original aspirations!'"
"The current King of Qin is a man of great talent and ambition, with a firm will and progressive thinking. He is capable of unifying the world and restoring the common roots of the nation."
At this point, Ying Zheng's lips curled into an exaggerated smile. He knew that the soldier was not lying; the way he spoke was definitely the words of a wicked man.
"Haha, you little rascal, keep talking!"
Ying Zheng finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the invisible solemnity in the hall vanished with his laughter.
The officials all sighed, realizing that only when it came to the wicked husband did their king show any emotion.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was not angry, the soldier relaxed and scratched his head, saying, "The commander said that the people of the world are starving and freezing, all because of the powerful and wealthy of the six states, who are blinded by greed and do not care about the lives of the people."
"Enjoying wealth and honor, they bear no responsibility for the affairs of the world. The Qin state waged war because it did not want to see the people suffer again. It attempted to quell the chaos of the world with its own strength. They were proactive and progressive individuals."
"The so-called blood feuds accumulated during the war are a joke. The only one to blame is the powerful and wealthy, who are unwilling to treat the common people well. They are clearly one family, yet they are unwilling to put aside their greed and work together for peace."
"We are all pawns in their power struggle, and our deaths are utterly meaningless."
Ying Zheng and the officials present nodded repeatedly, feeling a sudden sense of enlightenment as they followed this line of thought.
yes!
Our Qin state had advanced ideas!
We are not the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, we do not like war, we are just too benevolent!
Unwilling to see his family fighting and killing each other all day long, he made up his mind to unify the world.
Yes, that's right, we are all progressive elements!
Ying Zheng patted the soldier on the shoulder, unsure of what to say, and then turned and left.
At this moment, the soldier hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The commander-in-chief has something very important to say that you haven't heard yet."
"oh?"
Ying Zheng paused, turning back to look at the soldier with curiosity.
The soldier cleared his throat, his expression instantly becoming sacred, and his voice becoming solemn and dignified.
"As the commander-in-chief said, the world is one family, born from the same root."
"Today, one nation and one country are divided into seven, and a single character has nineteen different ways of being written, and they don't recognize each other. Isn't this division and a betrayal of our ancestors?!"
"This chaotic world will surely be ended by Qin. Anyone who dares to obstruct unification is a traitor to the world and must be eliminated according to the law!"
"Only when they are gone, completely extinct, can we restore peace to China and bring back a prosperous and peaceful world for all the people!"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. When the Qin sword and shield are combined, this is the name of the people!"
The words have now become art.
Ying Zheng and his officials were filled with admiration. They understood how the wicked man had managed to recruit the Wei soldiers without bloodshed and even unite them in a fierce battle.
Isn't it all for the sake of the peaceful world depicted in those words?
This is why, if the wicked husband were not around and he were replaced, based on his extensive exposure to success theories and other such rhetoric in later generations, he could have easily swayed Ying Zheng and his officials to the point where they wished they could vent their anger by tilling two acres of land.
Even so, it stirred the blood of everyone present, and their faces showed barely suppressed excitement.
"Since you have made your choice, I grant it."
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said with the air of a tiger, "You can help me pass on a message to the people of Wei who have surrendered or have not yet surrendered."
"My heart is magnanimous enough to encompass all people under heaven, and this world will surely belong to Qin. Everyone can enjoy everything that Qin possesses, and the future will only be better."
"In this peaceful and prosperous era, I and the Qin state are determined to make it a reality!"
Having said that, he turned and left, leaving behind a towering figure that seemed to stretch across the heavens and the earth.
"Your Majesty's might is overwhelming, the Qin banner flies high, may your reign last forever!"
"The Commandant of the Guards is incredibly brave; none within the six directions dare to challenge his might!"
A chorus of shouts resounded throughout the hall, lingering for a long time.
On the other side.
The wicked man had no idea that the lowly soldier had told him everything, and even if he did, he wouldn't have taken it seriously.
Compared to the powerful and wealthy, he had no selfish motives whatsoever, and everything he did was in the direction of that.
At this moment, he and a group of generals were listening to Pan Ning express his views and plans for the next operation.
"Commander, Hedong, Hexi, and Shangjun are now under my control. The remaining territory of Wei is not much left. Moreover, the people's hearts are unsettled. Why not march straight into Daliang?"
"Once we break through the city of Daliang and overthrow the throne of the King of Wei, the entire kingdom of Wei will surely fall into my hands."
The wicked man remained silent, then looked at Li Balang, who quickly said, "General Pan Ning is right. If we lose the remaining prefectures, there will only be two possible outcomes."
"It will either require a lot of talking or it may lead to war. If we take Daliang directly, the fate of Wei will be sealed, and its people will surely turn to Qin."
Seeing that his top strategist Li Balang agreed, the wicked man naturally did not hesitate any longer and said directly, "In that case, let's launch an attack on Daliang directly."
"Send a message to Wang Ben, urging him to launch a major war to hold back the Koreans."
"Send a message to Zhang Han and the other two, urging them to speed up the killing and accumulate a large number of corpses to spread the plague, so that the Zhao state will be too busy dealing with the three clans to attend to the Wei state's request for help."
As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The two closest states, Zhao and Han, cannot offer assistance, and he is not afraid even if the other states want to come to his aid.
Daliang City will surely fall before reinforcements arrive!
