"Although these are your words, sir, you must understand that great achievements can threaten the ruler, and serving a ruler is like walking on thin ice!"
"If we can also achieve the great victory in the attack on Shouchun..."
Wang Jian didn't continue, and Wang Ben immediately understood.
He has made too many contributions, and now he holds all the military power in Qin. It is inevitable that he will be ennobled and appointed as prime minister. But if he makes another great contribution, what should he be ennobled as?
Conferring the title of Duke? Conferring the title of King?
The Qin state was determined to unify the world, so how could it possibly still grant the title of king?
Wang Jian was smart; he thought it best to give the credit to Lu Li, since Lu Li had never held an official position and was Ying Zheng's most trusted person.
His unauthorized deployment of troops this time was also to rescue Lu Li.
Therefore, no matter what, Wang Jian will be invincible!
When he asked Ying Zheng for a reward, he made it clear that he had no ambition and only cared about money and wealth.
But Ying Zheng seemed to have grown dissatisfied with him, and Wang Jian also noticed this. What he wanted was Ying Zheng's dissatisfaction with him, so that he could ensure his safety after unifying the world.
When necessary, Wang Jian was more willing to commit some mistakes and have some of his rewards revoked.
"Where is the gentleman now?" Wang Jian asked.
Wang Ben shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know either. It's as if you've disappeared since we entered the territory of Chu."
Wang Jian was stunned. That was an army of nearly 300,000. How could it have just disappeared into thin air?
Even the paths they walk leave traces.
"Is there no news from the Black Ice Guard either?" Wang Jian asked hurriedly.
"No, the people from Black Ice Guard said they've also lost contact with the gentleman!"
This time it was Wang Jian's turn to panic. He originally wanted to give the credit for capturing Shouchun to Lu Li, but now Lu Li had lost contact. What should he do?
If time drags on any longer, things might change. After all, things can change in an instant on the battlefield, and opportunities can be lost in the blink of an eye!
"Send scouts to expand the search area; find the master's army no matter what!"
