"This... if His Majesty had not urgently summoned my teacher, would he have chosen to return at this critical juncture?"
"Alas, plans can't keep up with changes. Even if Your Majesty is discerning and can see through my actions, those ministers, those foolish people, certainly can't understand. They slander me in every way before Your Majesty. No matter how much Your Majesty trusts me, you have no choice but to transfer me back!"
"That's true!"
Han Xin nodded. He felt that none of the officials in the Qin court combined were as intelligent as his mentor, Li Lin, and that they were always sabotaging him behind his back.
Of course, he did not experience the Song and Ming dynasties, in which the literati in the rear wished they could remove the military generals' authority to lead troops.
The fighting is fierce and deadly at the front.
The scholars in the rear kept trying to sow discord between the emperor and the soldiers who were fighting desperately at the front.
A prime example is Yue Fei.
He was utterly betrayed by the surrender-oriented civil officials behind him and by an emperor whose mind had been completely dominated by surrender.
If it were Han Xin leading the troops, they would have rebelled long ago.
"By the way, those two women in the Yu family, Han Xin, you know what to do with them. Either kill them after I leave, or make the most of them."

"Xiang Yu was a man with a strong sense of justice. He was rather simple-minded and extremely loyal. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand what you mean, my teacher."
"Alright, I have given you all the instructions I needed to give. Now it is up to you how you govern these regions. For now, you will temporarily take charge of the governorships of Chen Commandery, Nan Commandery, and Kuaiji Commandery. I have entrusted the power of these three regions to you alone. As for Xiang Liang's position as the governor of the southern commanderies, you don't need to worry about him. He will not disobey you because I am the one behind you."
"promise!"
"After we return to Xianyang, I will give you a formal position, putting you in charge of all affairs in Jiangnan, and placing you above Xiang Liang in status."
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
"well!"
Li Lin nodded. Han Xin was a very talented person, but he was too naive in politics and lacked a mentor.
If Han Xin can be used well, he will be of great use in the future.
This man is skilled in both literature and martial arts. As long as he executes the plan diligently, the Jiangnan region can be considered truly stable within three years.
