Chapter 13: Anti-Scam (Part 2)

  The Battle of Changping was a decisive victory for Qin. The Zhao army of 500,000 men was completely defeated, with only over 200 survivors returning to Zhao, and the rest were killed.

  What was the reason for the great defeat of Changping?

  It is well known that Zhao Kuo fell into Bai Qi's trap, underestimating the enemy and advancing recklessly, was surrounded by Bai Qi, fought fiercely for over 40 days, food and grass were exhausted, the Zhao army had no choice but to surrender.

  To prevent the surrendered Zhao soldiers from causing trouble, Bai Qi had all 400,000 of them buried alive.

  Such a disaster has never been heard of since Pangu created heaven and earth. The whole world is shocked and terrified, and it's hard to calm down.

  Originally, it was Lian Po, a mature and steady leader, who presided over the military at Changping, not Zhao Kuo, a young and impulsive man. How did it become Zhao Kuo?

  In the end, it was a strategy of Fan Yu, the Prime Minister of Qin State. He sent someone to spread rumors in Handan that Qin State was not afraid of Lian Po but feared Mafu Zi. The King of Zhao believed it and planned to replace his general.

  The real reason for this was Zhao Guo's prime minister, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng. It was he who strongly recommended Zhao Kuo, and only then did King Xiaocheng of Zhao replace the general in the field and relieve Lian Po of his command.

  The news of Changping's great defeat arrived, and who among the people of Zhao did not hate Pingyuan Jun?

  Zhao Ping was also indignant and scolded Pingyuan Jun for not knowing how to judge people, and for strongly recommending Zhao Kuo, who only knew how to talk about military strategy on paper, causing the state of Zhao to suffer a disaster that had never been heard of before.

  "Haha." Zhao Ping was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing: "What's the big deal? Which Chinese person doesn't scold?"

  Pianyuan Jun was the culprit of the great defeat at Changping, it was he who did not recognize people's wisdom and recommended Zhao Kuo who only knew how to talk on paper, which led to such a disastrous defeat. The country scolded Pianyuan Jun as a habit, but Zhao Ping really didn't take it to heart.

  "Others can scold, but only you cannot." Qin Yiren's answer was enough to confuse Zhao Ping.

  "Why can others scold and I cannot? You'd better give me a clear explanation, or else I'll strip your skin off!" Zhao Ping's face was twisted in a ferocious grin.

  Millions of people in his country scold Ping Yuanjun, why can't he scold?

  "When others scold you, it's nothing; but when you scold them, it's a disaster that will destroy your whole family." Qin Yiren seemed to be unaware of Zhao Ping's threat, his expression calm and serene.

  "So many people scold without any consequences, but when I scold, it's a disaster that can destroy the whole family! What a joke!" Zhao Ping seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke in the world, and laughed so heartily that his nose and eyes became one, and his mouth was stretched all the way to his ears.

  "Let's count the days, in a few more days, Lord Pingyuan will see me again. When I see Lord Pingyuan, I'll tell him about this matter." Qin Yiren had a sly smile on his face.

  "Hmm." Zhao Ping's mouth made a grinding sound, his smile frozen on his face, unable to laugh anymore.

  Changping suffered a great defeat, and the Prince of Pingyuan had no way to vent his anger, so he poured all his resentment on Qin Yiren. Every now and then, he would order Qin Yiren to be taken away, just to vent his anger thoroughly. Calculating the time, it was again time for him to vent his anger.

  If Qin Yi really wanted to take this opportunity to inform Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping would indeed have trouble and could not help but be afraid.

  "Even if you tell him, the prime minister may not necessarily take action against me." Zhao Ping still had a glimmer of hope.

  "Lord Pingyuan may not be able to deal with you himself, but his retainers will definitely take care of you." Qin Yiren's smile grew even more genuine and sly, like a fox's: "Lord Pingyuan has thousands of retainers, who consider it their duty to protect his reputation. Anyone who brings harm to Lord Pingyuan can be killed. In the past, there was a high-ranking official who had repeatedly criticized Lord Pingyuan, only to mysteriously disappear later on. His family suffered a terrible calamity, and everyone in the household died. Everyone knows that this was the work of Lord Pingyuan's retainers."

  The high-ranking official was a noble and dignitary, such a big shot, whose status was thousands of times higher than Zhao Ping's. The guest at the gate of Pingyuan Jun said to kill him, and he was killed, no one dared to ask questions. Zhao Ping's face changed greatly, pale and ashen.

  Qin Yiren saw the change in Zhao Ping's expression and knew that his words had taken effect, so he seized the opportunity to continue: "With the power of the Prince of Pingyuan, his retainers can kill you and your whole family with just a word, and there will be people who will come to clean up after you."

  This is not an exaggeration, it will definitely become a reality. Zhao Ping's back grew cold, his heart felt chilled, he gritted his teeth, and evil arose from the edge of his gallbladder, anger rose from the top of his head, and fierce light flashed in his eyes as he loudly shouted at Qin Yiren: "Kill him!"

  He was furious and determined to kill him to silence him.

  However, Qin Yiren had already expected this and burst out laughing: "Zhao Ping, even the Prince of Pingyuan didn't dare to kill me. Do you think you can? Aren't you afraid that the Prince of Pingyuan will kill you to appease the anger of the state of Qin?"

  The Changping War, Zhao State was defeated so badly, Pingyuan Jun must have had the intention to kill, wanted to kill Qin Yiren to vent his anger, but in the end could only use him to vent his anger, did not dare to kill Qin Yiren, it was because Pingyuan Jun was afraid of Qin State, afraid that Qin State would take this as an excuse to send troops to Zhao State and kill him, Pingyuan Jun.

  "What should I do?" Zhao Ping's mouth was wide open and he was at a loss.

  Qin Yiren is really a thorny issue, Zhao Ping obviously has the upper hand, but he can't do anything about Qin Yiren. He can't beat him and he can't kill him either, it's really troublesome.

  "Hold on!" Zhao Ping had an idea as he turned his thoughts around, and with a forced smile, said: "Sir, you are magnanimous, don't take it to heart, I won't make things difficult for you, okay?"

  His face changed faster than flipping a book, just now it was still fierce and evil, but in the blink of an eye it became a warm and friendly smile, even more affectionate than seeing his ancestors.

  "Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Hei Bo and Miao Er looked on, as if in a dream."

  They thought they were doomed today, but unexpectedly, the situation reversed in just a short while, and Qin Yi gained the upper hand. Zhao Ping, who was furious just now, ended up smiling wryly and appeasing him.

  "This is it, you know, we Qin people are straightforward and say what's on our minds. I'm not intentionally trying to make things difficult for you, but I'm afraid I can't control my own mouth." Qin Yiren looked embarrassed.

  Zhao Ping seethed with rage, his teeth itching with hatred, and he could hardly bear to give Qin Yi a few punches. However, he had to force a smile and say: "Young Master Yi, please be at ease. From today on, I will no longer make things difficult for you. Even if the Prime Minister intends to make things hard for you, I will try my best not to enforce it, dragging it out whenever possible, letting it go whenever possible."

  The difficulties faced by Ping Yuan Jun are the main reason why Qin Yi Ren has fallen to such a state, if Zhao Ping really spares his life, it would be a great blessing, and Qin Yi Ren will surely agree.

  "Prince, quickly agree." Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Hei Bo and Miao Er all shouted in their hearts, wishing Qin Yi to agree immediately.

  However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Qin Yiren flatly refused: "No, absolutely not. The torment of the past three years, I've long gotten used to it; if you don't do it, I'll be the one who can't bear it."

  Listening to him, Qin Yi seemed to be very pleased with himself, as if he wouldn't be satisfied unless he was being tortured. Looking at his face, it was full of smiles, a sly and cunning smile, one glance and you could tell he had ill intentions.

  "This is the biggest release of water, and even this can't be done. Zhao Ping was completely blinded: "Master Yi, how can you let me go? I'll do anything for you."

  If kneeling down was useful, Zhao Ping would have knelt down without hesitation.

  "I'm hungry and don't have the energy to talk to you anymore." Qin Yiren's eyelids drooped, and he was about to fall asleep.

  Zhao Ping's eyes lit up and he hastily said: "Young Master Yi, I'll buy you some food, delicious food."

  Qin Yiren remained silent.

  "I'll buy you three days' worth of food."

  "For five days."

  Ten days.

  "Your food is mine now." Zhao Ping saw that Qin Yi Ren was still and gritted his teeth, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Hei Bo and Mo Er's eyes lit up, the problem of eating had been troubling them for a long time, for three whole years, they were all worried about the problem of eating, and it was actually solved just like that.
