With money, people could do whatever they wanted, and the entire Zhou Dynasty was prosperous.
Qin Zhan still felt a little regretful when he mentioned Lu Yan: "He was a talented general, but he was such a fool."
Qin Sheng agreed: "It is best for him to stay at the border and not come back. It would be best if he died on the battlefield."
"Haha." Qin Zhan shook his head: "This man is confused. It would be strange if he didn't die at the hands of a woman. It's no wonder that His Majesty doesn't want to reuse him."
