Volume 1: Entering Great Qin for the First Time Chapter 24: Discussing Strategies

  This plan is too risky, too bold, and goes against the will of heaven.

  These nonsense, he didn't know, he only knew that this was the most secure and feasible method he could think of after exhausting his brain cells, although it had its shortcomings and defects, but it should be feasible.

  All I can say is that he thought it was too simple after all.

  He only heard Wang Li and others shouting loudly, but did not hear the panic and unease behind their loud shouts.

  Upon hearing Wang Li and others' words, Hu Hai didn't bother to calculate their moves again. They knelt down once more, and he happily said: "So, do you gentlemen think my countermeasure is feasible?"

  Wang Li and others looked at Hu Hai, who was jumping around like a child, and suddenly realized that the "bold" countermeasure proposed by Hu Hai was in their minds. In the past few days, they had seen Hu Hai's ruthless and decisive actions, but it seemed that he had already forgotten that Emperor had been on the throne for less than a year.

  If we count the previous confusion, then Hu Hai really started to pay attention to national affairs for only a month or so. Your Majesty has only seen one side of the current chaos in Great Qin, and thus proposed this strategy that he thinks is feasible.

  Although this strategy obviously ignored or said that Hu Hai did not know other important factors that could affect the fate of the Great Qin at this moment.

  Wang Li and others also felt somewhat relieved when they thought of this. After all, Your Majesty's personal rule has only just begun.

  After hearing Hu Hai's question, Wang Li turned his head to look at the surrounding imperial guards, only to see that these people were all bowing their heads and pretending to be respectful, without daring to look at him. Wang Li couldn't help but secretly curse these guys for being sly like foxes.

  Hu Hai obviously noticed the small movements of Wang Li and other generals, and said: "Why doesn't anyone speak? All of you have heard my strategy, can it be implemented or not, you should speak up."

  Seeing Hu Hai's impatient urging, Meng Li whispered after Wang left: "General Wang, His Majesty is waiting for a reply."

  Wang Li turned around, Meng Li winked at him with a mischievous expression, then lowered his head and pretended to be a dumb melon.

  The quiet hall, although Wang Lei lowered his voice, it was clearly a typical covering of the ears and stealing the bell. Everyone heard Wang Lei's words clearly, and King Li and other generals were crying and laughing at Wang Lei's antics at this time.

  Your Majesty is no longer the same as before, only knowing how to have fun and be muddle-headed. You should be able to listen to our advice now.

  Although Wang Li was not confident in his heart, at this time he saw Hu Hai listening to Meng Lei's words staring at himself with eager eyes. He couldn't help but scold Meng Lei for selling himself out, so Wang Li gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, it's a good plan... however..."

  When Hu Hai heard Wang Li's words, the corners of his mouth, which had just opened, twitched involuntarily twice. This guy also gave a high and low tone to his brother. Seeing that Wang Li stopped talking, Hu Hai pretended to be calm and immediately gestured for Wang Li to continue speaking.

  Wang Li paused to see Hu Hai's reaction. If he flew into a rage, then although the Wang family had great merits, it was not necessary to offend His Majesty. He would wait and report to Chancellor Feng and others later, letting them analyze and persuade His Majesty.

  At this time, Hu Hai still had a calm face, with an appearance of seeking advice sincerely. Wang Li put down his hanging heart and walked to the map hanging in the hall with a dragon-like stride, pointing at the map and continuing.

  "Your Majesty's plan is indeed a good one, but can Your Majesty calculate whether if we deploy troops to block and resist the enemy along the thousands of miles of land in Nanyang, Yingchuan, Henan, Dongjun, Xuejun, Langya and other counties, and protect the safety of the eastern regions and the great Qin's belly, will today's Great Qin have enough soldiers to complete it?"

  Hu Hai arrived in front of the map, following Wang Li's pointing, and looked along the huge defense line he had imagined. This was not just a thousand miles, two thousand miles were also less.

  King Li saw Hu Hai as if he had something on his mind and continued: "This is one, the second is that even if our great Qin can have so many soldiers to complete this line of troops, then our great Qin along Nan Yang, Ying Chuan, He Nei, Dong Jun, Xue Jun, Lang Ya and other counties north including Xianyang will be short of soldiers and generals, or even no soldiers available.

  So Your Majesty wants to send a large army to annihilate the remnants of the six nations in Shandong, can it still be accomplished at this stage?

  Shandong and other places were originally the old territories of Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei and others. If at this time we have no troops to use, and the remnants of the states of Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei and others in Shandong and other places rise up in revolt, then with external troubles from the armies of Suiyang and Dangshan Commanderies and internal troubles from the remnants of the states of Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei and others, our Great Qin will inevitably fall into a situation where it is attacked on both sides and cannot cope with either. This is the second point.

  When Hu Hai heard Wang Li's analysis, his face had already turned pale. It was clear that Wang Li's reminder also made him realize that if such a thing really happened, the whole situation would collapse, and the day of Qin's demise was not far away.

  Wang Li did not notice Hu Hai's expression, at this moment he was just a general who was single-mindedly for the country, and continued on his own: "Thirdly, if there are no rebel troops taking advantage of the situation in Shandong and other places, then the rebel troops in Xiapi and Puyang do not need to engage in decisive battles with our army. They only need to send a good general with several thousand soldiers to take advantage of the opportunity to break through the defensive lines set up by our army and enter the heartland of Great Qin.

  And our Great Qin has troops stationed outside, the interior is empty and void of soldiers to use, then this small number of several thousand soldiers in the heartland of our Great Qin will be like entering a land without people, freely attacking cities and plundering the land, the vast areas of Shandong and other places are difficult to track.

  At that time, the interior of Great Qin will surely rise in revolt. If the remnants of Zhao, Yan, Qi and Wei in Shandong and other places rise up in response, then our defensive lines will be completely useless, and Great Qin will immediately lose all of Shandong.

  The fourth...

  Wang Li had by now fully entered his role and did not notice that Hu Hai's face was ashen, with a ferocious expression. He also completely failed to notice the subtle hints from Meng Li and other imperial guards who saw Hu Hai's facial expression.

  "General Wang..."

  Meng Li saw that Hu Hai was about to go berserk and hastily, without even bothering to step aside, called out loudly, interrupting Wang Li's continued speech.

  Wang Li, who had just entered the role, was suddenly interrupted and looked at the person who interrupted him with great displeasure. Seeing that it was Meng Lei, he immediately remembered that this kid had just pushed himself out and made him take on this difficult task of offending the emperor.

  Now I have to interrupt myself again to dispel Your Majesty's doubts, has the Mong family become so unbearable now? In order to compete for merit and favor, even such a major event related to the national fortune is not considered at all?

  At this point, Wang Li suddenly burst into flames, his eyebrows jumping wildly, new and old hatreds flooding up at once, looking at Meng Lei ready to loudly scold.

  Meng Lei saw Wang Li's face and knew something was wrong, being misunderstood by this hot-tempered old general of the uncle generation, hurriedly said: "General Wang!"

  Meng Lei first made a silencing gesture to Wang Li, then pointed at Yu Yue who was still speaking but ignored him and continued to stare fiercely at the map with an ashen face.

  The eunuch generals beside him also hastily waved their hands at Wang Li and pointed to the Emperor standing in front of the map.

  Wang Li was extremely displeased and very angry, but seeing that all the generals were making the same gesture, he felt puzzled in his heart. He suppressed his anger and glared at Meng Lei with a fierce gaze, then turned to look at Hu Hai who had been standing beside him listening to his explanation and analysis.

  This look is not serious, but it suddenly scared Wang Li's soul flying out of his body.

  Although the days of getting along were not long, Wang Lidi, a middle-aged man who had been crawling and rolling in the world for decades, still thought he had some understanding of Hu Hai. The current Hu Hai is not an easy-tempered person, and he is very good at treating others with courtesy and respect.

  But at this moment, Hu Hai's face was ashen, his eyes staring fixedly at the thick black smoke ring with bloodshot eyes, his face ferocious, completely like a man who wanted to devour someone.

  Cold sweat instantly soaked Wang Li's clothes, and he hastily knelt down on the ground, trembling with fear, saying: "Your humble servant deserves to die ten thousand times!"

  Meng Li hastily knelt down and said: "Although General Wang's words were somewhat overstepping, his bold and straightforward remonstrance was all for the sake of Great Qin and Your Majesty! His heart is as clear as the moon! We beg Your Majesty to pardon General Wang's crime!"

  The rest of the imperial generals also knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, we beg you to forgive General Wang's crime!"

  Book lovers' comments have been seen by Jiuzhou, but the details will be revealed one by one later, so Jiuzhou will keep you in suspense for now.
