Chapter 466: Fear of power but not virtue

As soon as Han Feizi set off on the front foot, Zhang Liang came back on the back foot.

Looking at Zhang Liang who came back, Han Feizi was speechless in surprise for a while. Then Zhang Liang spoke, and this opening made Han Feizi even more unsure of what to say.

"I was calculated, I was calculated by Le Yi, and it was also my own carelessness......"

"I ran back alone, and the army had already ordered surrender."

"The 70,000 army, even if it surrenders honestly, it will take ten days and a half months just to settle them. These times were enough for reinforcements from Wei and Zhao to arrive. ”

"We don't need to say more, let's just tell the truth, the reinforcements from Wei and Zhao will naturally arrive. Duke Wei and Duke Zhao both have a sense of the overall situation. Without South Korea, they would not be able to stand alone. ”

"As for the future, if this decisive battle is won, then the 70,000 army will have a chance to come back. If this decisive battle is lost, it doesn't matter if the 70,000 army comes back or not. ”

"Now, we have lost 70,000 troops, as fast as ten days, slow as half a month, and the combined forces of Chu and Zheng will reach Korea......"

Listening to Zhang Liang's chatter, Li Si opened his mouth, wanting to speak and stopping, stopping and wanting to speak.

After a long time, Zhang Liang said: "This time, I surrendered without a fight, and I sneaked back, I am really greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am also a sinner in South Korea, and there are no rules if I don't punish me." ”

"Therefore, please also ask the lord to allow me to make meritorious service for my crimes."

Han Feizi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and this time, Li Si said for him: "However, you and I both know that the reason why you gave up the army and returned directly is to avoid the lord being ambushed." ”

"Moreover, under the situation at that time, resistance was a dead end. If you continue to resist, you will only lose the 70,000-strong army, and you won't even be able to run out of the ovary. If the monarch goes, the monarch may not return, and then the whole of Korea will perish. ”

"Now, you have come back safe and sound, the lord is fine, Jiuding is still there, and even the 70,000 troops have only surrendered. They surrendered en masse, and it was impossible for the state of Chu to massacre the prisoners on a large scale. Moreover, as long as the state of Chu wants to enter the Central Plains, it is impossible to abuse them. ”

It's cool to kill prisoners today, but when you conquer Korea, this is a super pit!

There are only 200,000 Taoist priests and doctors in South Korea, and Chu killed 70,000 in one go, so South Korea is really wearing linen and filial piety, which is forcing South Korea to death, forcing South Korea to go out and fighting with Chu State.

At least, when the Chu State still wants to conquer Korea, the Chu State will not do anything to these 70,000 captives.

In Li Si's view, Zhang Liang's disposal method is already the least loss-making method for South Korea.

If it weren't for Zhang Liang's decisive surrender, then either the 70,000-strong army would have suffered heavy losses, or Han Feizi would have fallen into a trap, either of which might be worse than now!

From this point of view, Zhang Liang is meritorious!

Zhang Liang sighed: "Hey......"

"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules."

"If there is no punishment, then all Korean generals can use this as an excuse in the future to surrender directly and leave the army and flee for their lives alone."

"This bad head can't be opened!"

Han Feizi thought for a while: "Then from today onwards, I will step down from the position of prime minister, and in the end, the fief will be reduced from thirty-six counties to six counties." ”

"However, at this moment, when you are fighting righteously, you will be guilty of meritorious service!"

Zhang Liang silently took out the seal letter of the prime minister, Han Feizi played with it, and immediately held the seal with both hands: "The country cannot be without a phase for a day, from today on, the position of the prime minister of the country, please sir." ”

Li Si stretched out his hands, took the seal, and bowed to Han Feizi: "No! ”

After the punishment ended, Zhang Liang then spoke: "This time I was careless!" ”

The punishment is over, and Zhang Liang continues to speak his heart.

Li Si comforted: "I can't complain about you this time, Le Yi, Xiang Ji, Chu State, Zheng State's coalition army, and other big people hidden in the dark, whoever goes is a dead word." ”

Zhang Liang shook his head slightly: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the next general trend of the world." ”

"Zheng State and Chu State merge, Chu State has the foundation for long-term hegemony in the Central Plains, with the greed and habits of Chu State, at this moment, even if it is Chu Gong and Xiang Ji, they can't go against the will of the entire Chu State! For the State of Chu, sending troops to the Central Plains and winning the world is a belief passed down from the bones! ”

"The Jin State has perished, and now, the Cai State and the Chen State have also been annexed by the Chu State, and the Zheng State has become the frontline base of the Chu State again, this time the Chu State will not let go of this opportunity!"

"Even if the wise man of Chu State understands the general trend of the world and knows that this battle is more beneficial to Yancheng, it is meaningless. One or two sober wise men can't change the will of all the nobles in the Chu State at all! ”

For the nobles of the Chu State, in the past, there were three things that had always been done.

The first thing is to open up the territory, conquer the savage tribes, slay the demons, and expand the territory.

The second thing is to resist the unreasonable orders of the Marquis of Chu, and if necessary, raise troops to crusade against the Marquis of Chu and correct the mistakes of the Marquis of Chu. As long as there is an opportunity, he will provoke the infighting of Chu Hou's lineage, and he will instigate Chu Hou's son to fight Chu Hou and weaken Chu Hou's power.

The third thing is to enter the Central Plains and plot against the Central Plains!

In the past, the State of Chu was repaired many times by the State of Jin, and it was slowly subdued. When the Jin State was still there, it was rare to send troops to the Central Plains on a large scale, unless the Jin Dynasty was fighting or splitting.

Now, the Jin Kingdom is gone.

Now, Zheng Guo has also become the front-line base of Chu State, and even the problem of transporting grain and grass has been solved.

What is the point of one or two wise men at such times?

Even if it is the Duke of Chu, what is it in front of the will of the entire noble group of Chu State?

The entire Chu State was coerced by the traditions of the Chu State.

"Therefore, next, the Duke of Chu will definitely take the noble alliance army in Chu to the Central Plains!"

"After Duke Chu sent troops, Duke Wei and Duke Zhao could only send troops!"

"This battle can't be avoided!"

"The decisive battle between the Duke of Chu and the Three Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains, when the time comes, the Kingdom of Wu, the State of Qin, and the Kingdom of Yan will definitely come to an end. It's just that some countries end before Armageddon, and some end after Armageddon. ”

"However, after this decisive battle, it is the time when Yancheng sends troops to sweep the world!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang sat on the ground very weakly.

At this moment, Zhang Liang has no aristocratic image at all.

He was originally rushed back in a hurry, and in order to avoid Xiang Ji's pursuit, Zhang Liang also paid a lot of price. When I came back, my hair was scattered, the sleeve of my right hand was gone, and my shoes were scattered, which made me look very embarrassed.

At this moment, sitting on the ground, there is no grace at all.

"Yancheng is about to dominate the world, but the countries are still busy with infighting and decisive battles."

"This decisive battle is to help Yancheng clear the obstacles and reduce the resistance encountered when dominating the world!"

"I've seen through all this, and I've seen all the plans in Yancheng, but what's the use?"

"Who can convince the will of the aristocratic group of the Chu State? Who can change? ”

"Can we watch South Korea perish?"

"Can Duke Wei and Duke Zhao sit back and watch Korea being annexed by the State of Chu?"

"When the Three Jin Dynasty join forces to fight the Chu State, can the Qin State resist not attacking Hangu Pass? Even if you can endure it before the decisive battle, what about after the decisive battle? ”

"In the same way, can Yan Guo resist not sending troops to Zhao Guo?"

"Can Wu State resist not sending troops to Chu State?"

"As for Yancheng, it must be fanning the flames everywhere, taking advantage of this decisive battle to continue to sell war supplies on a large scale, and by the way, squeeze everything that can be squeezed from various countries."

"In the end, the Armageddon is over, and the things in Yancheng are almost sold, so it's time to send out a large army and sweep the world!"

"Who will be able to stop it then?"

"But what if you see through it? It doesn't make sense! It's even more painful! ”

At this moment, Zhang Liang only felt very painful, very powerless, and very helpless.

……

Wei Guo, after getting the first-hand news, Li Kui's face changed: "Can you negotiate peace?" ”

"This South Korea has not been beaten, why did it fall for the trick again?" This was Pang Juan's first reaction.

As for Weiss, he didn't say a word, just sighed.

"I'm afraid that peace talks are impossible, at this moment, the whole country of Chu is united, and it is the time when morale is high. Between the Duke of Chu and the nobles, even if there is a contradiction, it will be automatically suppressed at this moment. On the big goal of entering the Central Plains, the Duke of Chu and the nobles temporarily gave up infighting. ”

"Even if you try to sow discord at this moment, it will not have a good effect. With the great goal of entering the Central Plains, the Duke of Chu and the nobles will unite again. Even if there are different opinions, they will be suppressed by both sides. ”

"As for the peace talks, at this moment, the Duke of Chu will definitely open his mouth, and only in this way can the fighting spirit of the nobles within the Chu State be appeased."

"At this moment, the lowest price for peace talks is to allow the Chu State to swallow half of Korea."

"This is not a peace talk, this is just a step too late."

"Even if you really want to negotiate peace, you have to fight a fierce battle with the Chu State first, so that the Chu State will suffer heavy losses, and let them realize that even if the Jin State is gone, our Sanjin is still there!"

"The people of Chu, the southern barbarians, are afraid of power but not virtue!" In the end, Wei Si also scolded Chu Guo fiercely, which shows that he is really angry.

"When it comes to a big fight, it's a lot of pressure. We have only occupied the country for three years, and now the country is not for our own use, and it is difficult to squeeze the manpower and material resources of the homeland on a large scale. Li Kui said.

"This is a trivial matter, let's send troops, South Korea will pay money and materials, before the last Korean is killed, before the last Korean is spent, this battle will never admit defeat!" Weiss gritted his teeth.

In my heart, I also complained a little about Han Feizi, Zhang Liang and others: How did you do it, will you govern the country? Will there be a war?

"Then do you want a mass conscription? For example, first increase Wei Wushu from 100,000 to 150,000? Pang Juan asked.

"Conscription!" Weiss clapped.
