The Han Dynasty's Prime Minister, Lin Wen, did not rush to answer. Instead, he pondered for a long while before responding, "Your Majesty, after the Flying Tiger Army comes out, what we have to do is to win in one blow."
"Besides, we are truly unprepared right now. Once the enemy finds a flaw, the Flying Tigers will completely collapse, and all our efforts will be in vain."
"There's no need to rush now. Besides, we can all see the intentions of the Qin army. Your Majesty, please be patient."
"Then tell me how to solve this matter."
Lin Wen frowned and suddenly said, "I do have a dynasty here in the underworld, but it is too sinister and cruel. It may be difficult for Your Majesty to accept it, or Your Majesty may not agree to it."
"Tell me, I want to hear it. What exactly is this plan? It's so sinister, is it impossible for me to agree to it?"
Lin Wen sighed, then asked someone to bring him paper and pen and drew a simple sketch.
"Their army is still near Lingqiu City. They still have to continue their journey eastward. After all, there is a huge mountain range blocking our capital."
"There are a total of twenty-eight cities along that road! These twenty-eight cities actually have little to do with our Han Empire. If Your Majesty can release the plague in this area."
"Then, with the plague rampant, it will also affect the Qin army. Their marching speed will be slowed down, and they may even be affected by the plague, causing heavy losses to the army."
"Your Majesty, we are dealing with the most powerful plague in the world! Even with advanced medical skills, it will take a long time to completely alleviate it."
After these words were spoken, the eunuch and the emperor were stunned.
The Prime Minister was indeed vicious, no wonder he was the first to remind them, this strategy was simply... treating the people like fish and meat and not taking them seriously at all.
Moreover, many lives were lost to weaken the fighting power of Lu Yun and his men! And doing so would not have any impact on the capital. They would continue to do what they had to do in Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, doing this will not only weaken their fighting power, but will also hold them back for a long time."
"It will take at least half a year to completely resolve this plague. By that time, we will have already fully prepared their Qing army, and they will naturally collapse."
"Although this move is cruel, it is also the best plan. I hope Your Majesty can adopt it more."
Lin Wen naturally knew clearly that he had just given a bad idea, or the most sinister and vicious plan in the world!
Once it is unleashed, the people will suffer! Although it will not affect the Han Empire, it will affect the people of that generation.
"However, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, the ruler of the world, and a monarch beloved by many. How could he possibly do such a thing?"
"Your Majesty's refusal is understandable. I understand. We can also use the Flying Tiger Army. However, we are not sure if we can win the battle. Time is too short."
When the emperor heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "It is indeed a vicious plan!"
"Lin Wen!"
The emperor was awe-inspiring without even getting angry. These serious and cold words frightened Prime Minister Lin so much that he immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything.
"His Majesty……"
"I will definitely ask you a serious question today! How many times have you died from this kind of conspiracy?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for this conspiracy. I only just thought of it. I will never deceive Your Majesty in any way, nor would I dare to do such a thing. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
The emperor reacted at this moment, he sighed, and explained softly: "Okay, if that's the case, I forgive you."
"However, I do think this plan is indeed cruel, but we can give it a try. After all, we can't guarantee that we can completely defeat this Lu guy right now."
"Since their Great Qin troops are so powerful, we can use this trick to hold them back and buy us more time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eunuch and the prime minister looked at each other. They thought that the emperor would not agree to this matter. After all, it was too cruel. If the emperor agreed, it might have a huge impact on him.
However, this matter was done in a covert manner, and no one would know that it was done by the emperor, not the court.
However, if the imperial court does not step in to resolve the plague, it may cause dissatisfaction among some people.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"If this isn't done properly and the plague spreads, we'll be grave sinners, Your Majesty!"
The emperor glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully, "It is my honor to be used by Zhen. Besides, this strategy was proposed by you, and I am only implementing it."
"If anything goes wrong, won't you be held responsible? Don't you agree?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Wen's eyes widened in disbelief. These were the words the emperor could say. He was putting all the responsibility on himself.
Once others find out that this matter was done by the emperor or the court, the emperor will not hesitate to shift the blame to Lin Wen.
Forget it, now that I have said this, can I still regret it?
"You want to spread a plague, and the most virulent one at that. All I want is a result. I hope you can do it quickly."
"yes!"
To be honest, Lin Wen was very panicked at this moment! Because he didn't know what the emperor was thinking... The emperor at this moment was a little confusing to him.
After the two men left, the chief eunuch said to Lin Wen, "You shouldn't have told the emperor about this."
"Don't you think the Emperor is scary now?"
"Once this plan comes out, you will become the target of public criticism, even though it was you who proposed this and it wasn't something you wanted to do."
Lin Wen sighed, "So what do you think I should do? His Majesty has already made me take the blame, so we can only do everything we can to resolve this matter as quickly as possible."
"In the final analysis, that Lu man pushed His Majesty into a corner. Who could have imagined that the descendants of the Qin royal family could make a comeback? We thought they had disappeared long ago, but now they appear before us."
"What are you going to do?"
"I happen to know a doctor."
"Be careful."
The eunuch couldn't help but shiver. In fact, in his heart, he was very scared of the emperor's behavior!
They are really afraid that one day the emperor will do something even crazier, and then they will be in real trouble.
