Le Ye was distraught, her expression shifting several times.
"General..."
Suddenly, a faint voice rang out. Le Ye turned around and saw that it was a soldier behind him who was not yet dead.
Le Ye quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and helped the soldier up, letting him lie in her arms.
The soldier looked to be only a teenager, with bright red blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. The wounds on his body made him look somewhat ferocious from the pain.
"General, live on."
"I'm in pain... I don't want to... get hit again..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the soldier breathed his last.
Even as he breathed his last, the soldier's face remained contorted with rage, as if filled with immense resentment and hatred for this chaotic world, causing Le Ye's heart to ache.
"Kid...."
Unable to contain his grief any longer, Le Ye, a man who had spent half his life on the battlefield, burst into tears.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault!"
Le Ye was filled with endless self-blame. If he had known it would turn out like this, why did he care about saving face in the first place?
Knowing the strength of the wicked man and his Qin soldiers, why would he let these brothers perish for the sake of so-called national loyalty?
"Please accept my condolences. That's how war is; it's either you die or I die."
The wicked man's calm, unwavering voice rang out as he bent down, picked up the body of a Qin soldier who had died in battle not far away, and brought it to him. "Not only did your Wei people die, but my Qin people died too."
Do you know the difference between you, King of Wei, and me, King of Qin?
With tears welling in her eyes, Le Ye looked up at her wicked husband and shook her head slightly.
"The rulers of Qin throughout history have forged ahead with determination, undaunted by life or death, building upon the legacy of six generations, all for the sake of expanding eastward."
"When it came to the current King Ying Zheng, his eastward expedition was not for any other reason than to personally enter the game, hoping to use the power of the Qin state to protect the foundation of the unification of China and end centuries of war and conflict."
The wicked man gently placed the fallen Qin soldier beside the Wei soldier, lightly stroking the soldier's peaceful face with a slight smile, and murmured to himself, "To fight or not to fight, the soldiers and civilians suffer the most. Look at why my Qin soldier can smile."
Le Ye stared intently at the Qin soldiers, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Both died in battle, one with a ferocious expression, the other peaceful.
"I dare say that Qin can unify the six kingdoms, and this is not an empty boast. With the unity of the entire Qin state, who in this world can stand against us?"
He didn't know why he would say these things to a defeated opponent; perhaps it was because his mindset had changed and he was tired of the back-and-forth attacks among his own people.
"call...."
Le Ye took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The world has suffered for too long. If the general does not mind, Le Ye is willing to serve you and bring peace to this land."
The wicked man's lips curled into a smile of delight. He patted Le Ye on the shoulder, then stood up and solemnly shouted, "Men, prepare the bodies of the fallen soldiers and give them a proper burial!"
After saying that, he personally helped Le Ye up, "Come with me back to the city and quickly treat your wounds so that you don't lose your life."
Le Ye struggled to his feet, glancing back at the Wei soldiers scattered on the ground every few steps, murmuring repeatedly, "Brothers, rest in peace... rest in peace..."
That night.
After being treated and bandaged, Le Ye, who was no longer in serious condition, came to the study where her wicked husband was, supported by two guards.
At this moment, the wicked husband was cursing and scolding Li Xin. Upon hearing that Le Ye had come to see him, he had no choice but to suppress his anger for the time being.
Seeing Le Ye's trembling appearance, the wicked husband couldn't help but scold, "Why aren't you resting and recovering? What are you doing causing trouble in the middle of the night?"
A touch of emotion flashed through Yue Ye's heart, and then he said loudly, "General, I have transferred all the Wei soldiers from the four surrounding cities, leaving less than 30,000 troops in total. Moreover, reinforcements have not yet arrived. Why not take advantage of this weakness and quickly capture them?"
"only...."
"Just say what you want to say. I don't care about formalities here!" The wicked husband smiled, his words very gentle.
Le Ye gritted his teeth, bracing himself for rejection, and said in a deep voice, "General, if you trust me, then take me with you to persuade them to surrender."
"I... still have some prestige. The best outcome would be to win without bloodshed, and we might even be able to capture more troops."
The wicked man sneered, "Go if you want to, do as you please. I'm tired of killing unless I have no other choice."
These words almost made the others in the room burst out laughing, and Li Xin's face turned ashen as he tried to hold it in.
Did I hear that right?
The butcher actually said he was tired of killing?
Even if you're just acting to win people over, you can't go this far!
"What are you laughing at?!"
The wicked man's face suddenly turned cold. He scanned the group one by one, then stopped on Li Xin and said sternly, "As a general, I can understand breaking through a city and massacring its inhabitants."
"But why do you disregard military discipline, abstain from drinking, and harm women?"
"Do you think you're some kind of alien?"
The cold voice echoed in the room, causing Li Xin to shiver instinctively.
Le Ye's gaze also fell on Li Xin, a trace of resentment still lingering in his heart. He could understand killing soldiers as a general, but what did it mean for him to harm women?
Just as the wicked man said, among the six states at war, few generals dared to make such a decision.
In the end... they are of the same race!
"Li Xin, tell me, how should I deal with you?" The wicked husband's suppressed anger sent chills down Li Xin's spine.
Li Xin stammered for a long time without managing to utter a single word, feeling extremely uneasy, wondering how his wicked husband would deal with him.
In his view, the worst possible outcome would be the loss of his power, meaning he would have come out for nothing.
However, his wicked husband's next words plunged him into an icy abyss.
"Li Xin, as the commander-in-chief, you have violated the ban on alcohol during a major military operation, which is a serious crime."
