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

Han Che's eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke up, revealing his guess: "Ninth Brother is worried that Qin will take this opportunity to attack Han."

Although this sounds absurd—that someone doesn't want to serve as an official in your country, yet you force them to—it was quite normal for the Qin state.

The Qin state has done similar unreasonable things many times before, and it will certainly do them again in the future.

The Qin state relied on Hangu Pass.

Whenever the states east of the Hangu Pass, angered by Qin, formed an alliance to attack Qin, Qin would retreat behind Hangu Pass.

Thanks to the strategic location of Hangu Pass, the allied forces of various states could hardly pose a substantial threat to the Qin state in a short period of time.

Then the Qin state would employ its diplomatic tactics to divide the other states.

Once the allied forces of various states could no longer hold out and returned to their own territories, the Qin state would once again emerge from Hangu Pass.

As for whether Qin would do that, Han Che thought it was very likely.

This is exactly what the Qin state did in history.

Although the Qin state is currently facing many internal problems, this presents an opportunity for Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei will likely use this opportunity to continue to control the Qin government.

If Qin were to launch an attack on Han, it would put Qin in a state of war, and a power transition under such circumstances could potentially lead to major problems.

Han Fei nodded in affirmation of Han Che's guess: "That's right, Qin's intention to conquer the six states by moving eastward is obvious."

Although the Qin state has been eyeing the Zhao state for years, it has never given up on gradually encroaching on the Han state.

Moreover, compared to the State of Zhao, the State of Han was the biggest obstacle to Qin's eastward expansion.

South Korea occupies a very important geographical location. If Qin were to annex South Korea, Qin's Guanzhong region would be connected with Qin's Dongjun.

By then, the states east of the Hangu Pass will be divided into two parts, north and south, by the Qin state, making it difficult for them to coordinate their operations.

Furthermore, although South Korea is small and weak, it possesses very advanced metal smelting technology, especially iron smelting technology.

While iron tools made in other countries were still only used for agriculture, iron tools made in Korea were already widely used on the battlefield, tearing apart the armor of the enemy.

Based on this, South Korea has created many powerful weapons that are coveted by other countries.

I think the Qin state must really want those powerful weapons.

Han Fei's words laid bare the terrible disaster hidden behind this event.

If not handled properly, the Qin army will march on the state of Han.

However, they had not yet dealt with Ji Wuye's matter.

At that time, South Korea will be beset by internal and external troubles.

Seeing that everyone was starting to think about this problem, Han Che began to analyze: "Everyone, mobilizing a large army is not something that can be accomplished in a short time."

There is a saying in every military strategy: "An army marches on its stomach."

In a short period of time, the number of troops that Qin could send to Han would not exceed 200,000, and might even be only 100,000.

Of these, no more than 40,000 were capable warriors, and even fewer were skilled warriors, no more than 20,000.

Faced with such a Qin army, the state of Han was still able to hold them off.

Furthermore, the war launched by the Qin state is an unjust war, and righteous people throughout the world, such as the disciples of the Mohist school, will stand on our side and help the Han state fight against the Qin state.

Given enough time, we will have the opportunity to ask other countries for help and persuade them to send troops to rescue South Korea.

We can clearly see the importance of South Korea, and so can other countries.

By explaining the advantages and disadvantages to the monarchs of various countries, it would not be difficult to persuade them to send troops to aid Korea.

Hearing Han Che's words, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Han Che explained his words very clearly, and they could easily understand his meaning.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Han Che's lips curled into a slight smile, and he continued, "Besides, this matter might facilitate our planned alliance against Qin."

After Han Che finished speaking, the room fell silent.

After Han Che proposed the strategy of forming an alliance to attack Qin here, he once again brought them to the gambling table.

This time, he was betting that Han could withstand Qin's attack, and then unite with other states to form a coalition to counterattack Qin.

After a moment, Han Fei smiled wryly and said, "Eleventh brother, you really do like taking risky moves."

Han Che replied calmly, "South Korea is currently weak, and this is the only way we can achieve a significant breakthrough. Otherwise, South Korea will be at the mercy of others."

Han Fei did not refute this, but instead asked, "Qin can use this method to deal with this, but what about Nightfall?"

Han Che immediately replied, "We have already captured Jade Tiger and obtained a lot of crucial evidence from him."

"Once the Qin envoy leaves Han, we will act swiftly and decisively to resolve the issue of the night."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei hesitated.

At this moment, Zhang Liang, who had been silent all along, saw that the discussion had reached a stalemate and spoke up, saying, "Ninth Young Master, although the Eleventh Young Master's suggestion is risky, it is indeed worth a try."

"The Eleventh Prince recommended Mr. Wei Liao, who has successfully obtained the position of Grand Commandant of Han. Combined with your position as Minister of Justice, Ninth Prince, and your grandfather's position as Chancellor, our power in Han is no less than that of Nightfall, and may even far surpass it."

The Grand Commandant, the Minister of Justice, and the Chancellor were respectively responsible for the military, political, legal, and administrative affairs of the State of Korea.

Although military power is still in Ji Wuye's hands, if the Nightfall members are divided according to the method proposed by Han Che, the Nightfall threat is indeed not that great anymore.

When night falls, and the ship is about to sink, many people will think about going ashore or boarding other ships that are willing to take them in.

After pondering for a moment, Han Fei looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Zifang, will Prime Minister Zhang assist us?"

Although Zhang Kaidi was Zhang Liang's grandfather, to put it bluntly...

Zhang Kaidi is a cunning and shrewd man; his thoughts are hard to fathom.

If he hadn't done a good enough job, Zhang Kaidi would have taken away his position as Minister of Justice.

Seeing that Han Fei's tone had softened, Zhang Liang immediately replied, "Ninth Young Master, although my grandfather has some problems, my Zhang family is extremely loyal to the State of Han."

"Given the perilous situation South Korea is facing, I am confident I can persuade my grandfather to help us."

Zhang Liang spoke with great confidence.

He had previously sounded out his grandfather's opinion.

According to his grandfather's words, as long as Wei Liao, recommended by the eleventh prince, can become the Grand Commandant of Han, Ji Wuye will be like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to hop around for long.

Moreover, Ji Wuye had previously made things difficult for his grandfather in court on several occasions, and even tried to eliminate the Zhang family.

Therefore, whether from a public or private perspective, the Zhang family has every reason to take action against Ji Wuye.

Han Fei took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.

He knew that this was the most crucial moment.

Then, Han Fei stood up, bowed to Zhang Liang, and said, "Zifang, the future of Han is now in your hands."
