Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra

"The second thing, I want to talk about it when Zifang arrives."

Seeing Han Che deliberately keeping him in suspense, Han Fei smiled and said, "It seems that this second matter is very important."

Han Che replied with a smile, "It is indeed very important, after all, it concerns the future of South Korea."

Han Fei's smile immediately vanished.

He realized that what Han Che was about to say was likely the same thing he had planned to say today.

Neither Zi Nu nor Wei Zhuang spoke, silently watching the two brothers in front of them.

They have a clear understanding of their own position.

Whether it's eliminating Ji Wuye or strengthening the state of Han, these two young masters from Han are the ones in control.

Zhang Liang didn't keep everyone waiting for long.

After finishing his duties at the palace, he hurriedly headed towards Zilan Pavilion.

……

Zhang Liang, who walked in from outside the private room, looked at the four people waiting for him inside with surprised expressions.

He could understand Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, and Zi Nu, but why was the Eleventh Prince here as well?

Han Che smiled gently at Zhang Liang.

Han Fei then spoke up, saying, "Zifang, you're finally back. Sit down, we've all been waiting for you."

Zhang Liang, filled with doubt, sat down in the seat in front of Han Fei.

Zi Nu, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and poured tea for Zhang Liang.

Then, Zhang Liang looked at Han Fei in front of him and asked, "Brother Han, what's going on?"

"Zifang, you'll find out soon enough."

After answering Zhang Liang, Han Fei turned his gaze to Han Che: "Eleventh brother, Zifang has returned."

This made Zhang Liang even more puzzled.

What exactly is going on?

"The second thing I want to talk about is getting rid of Ji Wuye."

really!

A glint of light flashed in Han Fei's eyes.

Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu both looked at Han Che with great interest.

Zhang Liang finally understood at this moment.

So that's what they were waiting for me to say.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to Han Che.

Only by eliminating Ji Wuye can Korea have a future.

Otherwise, the future of this country will be bleak.

Han Che continued, "To be honest, I really want to use this issue of military pay to directly attack Ji Wuye."

While this would cause massive unrest in South Korea, it is also the simplest and most direct solution.

The four people present were stunned by Han Che's words and stared at him in disbelief.

Han Fei, regaining his senses, smiled wryly and said, "Eleventh Brother, although this method is simple and direct, it will be difficult to resolve later."

"So, I held back. However, I will not let Ji Wuye live past this year."

Han Fei frowned deeply: "Eleventh brother, aren't you being too hasty in doing this?"

It is possible to bring down Ji Wuye, who held absolute power in South Korea, in less than a year. While this is not impossible, blindly pursuing speed is not advisable.

Seeing Han Fei's intention to proceed slowly, Han Che gently shook his head and said, "Ninth Brother, time is running out for the Han state."

Upon hearing Han Che's statement, Wei Zhuang said, "It seems that the Eleventh Young Master has obtained some information through certain channels."

Han Fei then asked, "Eleventh brother, what news have you received?"

Han Che countered, "Ninth Brother, have you heard of the Zheng Guo Canal that the Qin state is currently building?"

Zheng Guo Canal?

Han Fei was taken aback when he heard the term.

The same applies to Zi Nu and others.

This term was unfamiliar to them.

Seeing this, Han Che had no choice but to explain: "The Zheng Guo Canal was a plan proposed by the State of Han eight years ago to weaken Qin. The plan was to use Han's advanced water conservancy technology to help Qin build a giant water conservancy project that was more than 300 miles long, thereby depleting Qin's national strength and preventing Qin from having time to expand eastward."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

Seeing the reactions of the others, Han Che shook his head and continued, "However, the Zheng Guo Canal will be completed next year."

Once completed, the Qin state will gain access to thousands of miles of fertile land in Guanzhong, further enhancing its national strength.

Most importantly, this is the fertile land of Guanzhong. Transporting grain from Guanzhong to the front lines of the Central Plains is much easier than transporting grain from Shu (Sichuan).

After he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

They now understood why Han Che was in such a hurry.

A thousand miles of fertile land—this is an astonishing number.

If the Qin state were to finish digesting the fertile land of Guanzhong, while the Han state was still embroiled in internal strife, the mere thought of that situation would send chills down one's spine.

Seeing their reactions, Han Che continued, "It seems you all understand why I was so eager to get rid of Ji Wuye."

Han Fei nodded vigorously: "Eleventh brother, I understand now. Ji Wuye must indeed be eliminated as soon as possible."

His expression was very firm.

At this moment, Wei Zhuang looked at Han Che in front of him and asked, "After eliminating Ji Wuye, what are your plans?"

This is a very important question.

Han Che replied without hesitation, "We must form an alliance to attack Qin! The territory of Han will need to increase, while the territory of Qin will need to decrease."

Han Fei frowned deeply and spoke his mind: "Eleventh brother, I think it would be better to first implement reforms domestically and build up strength."

South Korea is too weak right now and can't withstand any more setbacks.

Han Che shook his head and replied, "Ninth Brother, as I just said, time waits for no one."

No matter how you change your methods, it will be difficult to bridge the gap in hard power between the two sides in a short period of time.

The only way to bridge the gap in hard power is to make Qin's territory smaller and Han's territory larger.

It's not too late to implement reforms after everything has settled down.

Moreover, reforms cannot be implemented at will.

A resounding victory can make something that is originally very difficult become very simple.

Han Fei looked hesitant.

Although Han Che's words were very tempting, he knew very well that Han Che's words were not.

This is a huge gamble, betting South Korea's current national strength on its future destiny.

Winning would naturally be a cause for celebration.

If they lose, South Korea will become dust in the annals of history.

Unlike Han Fei, Wei Zhuang had already been persuaded by Han Che: "What are your plans regarding the alliance against Qin?"

Forming alliances and counter-alliances is a grand event that the disciples of Guiguzi find hard to refuse.

His senior brother, Gai Nie, is currently in the Qin state.

Han Che smiled upon hearing this: "This alliance against Qin mainly consists of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Chu."

"What about the states of Yan and Qi?"

"In recent years, the Qin state has been pursuing a strategy of befriending distant states and attacking nearby ones. The Yan and Qi states are far away from the Qin state, and their courts have long been infiltrated by the Qin state."

Instead of going to great lengths to invite these two countries that are unlikely to contribute much, it would be better to focus on maintaining the relationship between the four states of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Chu.

The fewer people there are, the more united they are; the more people there are, the more complicated their thoughts become.

For a moment, everyone present was pondering Han Che's last words.

These words are truly profound truths.

Previously, the states of Guandong formed an alliance to attack Qin, but they were unable to work together effectively.

Each family has its own agenda.
