The Qin state was called the "Land of Tigers and Wolves," not as a compliment, but to describe the Qin soldiers as ferocious and repulsive, like tigers and wolves.
Anonymous, a Confucian disciple, frowned upon hearing their conversation.
Ever since Xunzi went to the State of Qin to persuade them with his words of benevolence, but was rejected by the King of Qin with the words "Confucian scholars are of no benefit to other people's countries," Confucian disciples generally had no goodwill towards the State of Qin.
In the past, given his mindset, he wouldn't have cared about such news at all.
However, they had previously been assassinated by assassins from the Luo Wang organization, which was an organization of the Qin state. That's why he showed such an expression upon hearing this news.
"Your information is outdated. The Wei Kingdom, relying on its elite Wei infantry, has already held off the Qin army. I'm afraid Qin will have to retreat in disgrace soon!"
At this point, another diner joined the discussion.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan smiled, picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, and slowly shook his head as he ate.
Wuming noticed his actions and felt a little curious: "It seems you don't agree with what that person just said."
"The Qin state will not withdraw its troops, nor can it withdraw them."
Bai Yuan said this sentence very calmly.
"Why?"
"We come from the Qin state. Has Mr. Wuming paid any attention to what the villages we have passed through are like?"
Instead of explaining directly, Bai Yuan asked a question.
Wuming shook his head; he usually spent his time cultivating.
With practice and improving techniques, how can we have time to pay attention to these things?
Seeing this, Bai Yuan put down his chopsticks, and the usual playful smile disappeared from his face.
"I've noticed that even though it's harvest time, there aren't many people working in the fields. The villagers I saw didn't show any joy on their faces; instead, they all looked worried!"
"What does this mean?"
Wuming still didn't understand and was puzzled.
Bai Yuan sighed: "This means that this year's grain harvest is poor, or even nonexistent! You can probably guess what the consequences will be, Mr. Wuming."
Having said all that, Wuming naturally understood the consequences.
famine!
Behind these two words lie countless tragedies.
"Qin's attack on Wei may have initially been aimed at seizing more land, and they could retreat if they couldn't conquer it. However, once this famine breaks out, they will no longer be able to retreat. The King of Qin will definitely order the Qin army at the front to plunder grain from other countries to quell the national disaster. This army that is attacking Wei will be the key to whether Qin can overcome the crisis!"
After listening to Bai Yuan's analysis, Wuming had to admit that what he said made sense.
The Qin state is no longer in a question of whether it wants to fight or not, but rather that it has no choice but to fight, and they will fight even more fiercely and aggressively!
Although Wuming agreed with Bai Yuan's words, it did not mean that others did the same.
A man dressed in fine clothes, looking exuding nobility, couldn't help but step forward to argue with him.
"Your prediction that such a major internal crisis will occur in Qin is not implying that their attack on Wei will end in a major defeat?"
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Yuan turned around and felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.
However, he didn't think about it in detail, only feeling that the person's thinking was too superficial.
"Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, but it is not like tigers and wolves that only know how to plunder blindly. The Wei Wuzu is indeed powerful, but at most it can only temporarily stop the Qin army. If Wei could win this war by relying on the Wei Wuzu, then how could Wei have ended up in this situation today?"
Bai Yuan's words stunned the man.
He's right. If they could win by relying on the Wei Wuzu, then how could the Wei state have suffered so many defeats in the Qin-Wei War and lost its status as the hegemon of the Central Plains?
Almost everyone believed that Wei had won the battle and that Qin would withdraw its troops.
Even he thought so, but the truth is probably quite the opposite.
Thinking of this, the man was already drenched in a cold sweat.
But Bai Yuan's next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"If Qin cannot conquer Wei, there are still Zhao, Han, and Chu. No one has stipulated that Qin can only attack Wei."
The man took two steps back, his legs buckled, and he almost fell.
"Godfather!" Another man helped him up, then glared at Bai Yuan: "Don't spread alarmist rumors here!"
But the next moment, the man in fine clothes pushed him away and shouted angrily at him, "How dare you! Don't be so rude to a gentleman!"
After saying this, he immediately bowed respectfully to Bai Yuan: "I am Han Yu, the fourth young master of Han State. I have just been rude to you, sir. I hope you will forgive me! Your words are truly enlightening and thought-provoking. We were unaware of the crisis we were facing. If it weren't for you, Han State would be in grave danger!"
Upon hearing his identity, Bai Yuan and Wuming exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a clear meaning.
Well, trouble has arrived!
Just eat, why are you talking so much?
Seeing that Bai Yuan did not respond, Han Yu bowed again and said, "Today I have met such a talented person as you, sir. I would like to ask you to give me an opportunity. I am willing to treat you as an honored guest and introduce you to my father. I beg you to save the people of Han from this disaster!"
At this moment, countless divine beasts were galloping through Bai Yuan's mind.
The State of Wei isn't worried, but the State of Han is!

Chapter 10 Is South Korea in a panic? I'm running away first!
Faced with Han Yu's request, Bai Yuan turned his pleading gaze to Wuming.
However, Wuming pretended not to see it, clearly wanting him to handle it himself.
Having received no response, Bai Yuan forced a smile.
"Fourth Young Master overestimates me. First of all, I am not a great talent. We were just passing through Korea, and what we just said was all nonsense."
In his words, Bai Yuan made it very clear that they were just passing through and would not stay in Korea for long. So, being honored guests or receiving introductions was not important to them.
However, Han Yu assumed that Bai Yuan was simply declining his offer of help and that's why he said that.
Indeed, although he is one of the four noblemen of Korea, he is not well-known. It is indeed unlikely that he could recruit a talent like Bai Yuan so easily.
Rejection is the norm.
Han Yu was not disappointed by Bai Yuan's rejection and quickly adjusted his mindset.
"However, regardless of the circumstances, your remarks today have served as a wake-up call for us. You have done a great service to South Korea. If you have any needs in South Korea, please feel free to come to me. My promise will always stand!"
After saying this, Han Yu bowed again and then hurriedly left with his guards.
Watching his departing figure, Wuming narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This fourth young master from South Korea is no simpleton! He regained his composure so quickly, and even emphasized before leaving that his promise was still valid. It seems he truly values you!"
After he finished speaking, the way he looked at Bai Yuan changed, showing both relief and worry.
I thought Bai Yuan, having stayed on Mount Taiyi and never descended the mountain, was not very knowledgeable about worldly affairs. Who knew he possessed the ability to see the whole picture from a single leaf?
To be able to analyze the future actions of the Qin state simply based on some scenes seen on the road is a skill that most people do not possess.
I'm afraid that after today, Bai Yuan's name will gradually spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
Being valued by others does not necessarily mean it is a good thing.
Bai Yuan shook his head and sighed. He understood this principle very well, and today's events would probably bring him a lot of trouble.
I should have just eaten quietly instead of talking so much!
Indeed, the ancient saying, "One should not speak while eating or sleeping," is true.
"We originally planned to rest in Xinzheng for a few more days, but now it seems we should leave as soon as possible."
Wuming nodded, patted Lu's head, and sighed.
Bai Yuan was also very regretful. He had originally planned to take a good look around Xinzheng these few days, see the scenery of Korea, and see if Zilanxuan had opened yet.
But now everything has fallen through, and Zilanxuan can only come back another time. At this moment, he only wants to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
As for whether or not the State of Han will be attacked by the State of Qin, what does that have to do with them?
Bai Yuan's remarks at the restaurant were overheard by many people and spread throughout Xinzheng in just a few days.
After leaving the restaurant, Han Yu went to the King of Han to explain the matter. At first, the King of Han was somewhat dismissive, thinking that Han Yu was just making alarmist noise based on rumors. The Qin and Han states had only been at peace for half a year, so how could the Qin state attack again?
But then many court officials began to submit memorials on this matter, and he realized that something was wrong.
Poop
They sent people to inquire with merchants from the Qin state and found that what Han Yu said was basically the same: the Qin state would indeed experience a famine this year, and a crisis was imminent.
For a time, the people of Xinzheng were filled with anxiety.
At the General's mansion, Ji Wuye returned from the palace in a huff after finishing the morning court session.
"Damn it! That wretched Zhang Kaidi, he's always trying to make things difficult for me!"
Then came the sound of things being smashed coming from his room, so no one dared to approach his room for fear of incurring his wrath.
After a long time, perhaps because there was nothing left to smash, or perhaps after venting his anger and making a mess of the room, Ji Wuye gradually calmed down.
This morning at court, many ministers were arguing fiercely over the rumors circulating in the city, leaving him somewhat exhausted.
His old rival Zhang Kai proposed in the imperial court that it was better to be safe than sorry, and that troops should be sent to strengthen the defense of the border.
Some even suggested that Han and Wei had always been closely allied, and if this were true, Han could join forces with Wei to catch Qin off guard and avenge Qin's previous attack on Han.
The key point is that he discovered that the usually timid King Han was actually tempted!
This was bad news for him.
Because he had recently spent a huge sum of money to establish contact with the Qin state, and they had not yet responded. If he were to lead troops to attack Qin now, not only would his previous investment be wasted, but he would also face retaliation from Qin. At that time, his position in Han would likely be in jeopardy.
After much persuasion, the King of Han did not agree to the proposal to attack Qin, but he did agree to Zhang Kaidi's proposal and ordered Marquis Bai Yifei to immediately lead 100,000 white-armored soldiers to the border to guard against a Qin sneak attack.
This completely disrupted Ji Wuye's plans in Xinzheng and severely weakened his power there.
Having suffered such a huge loss without even knowing why, how could Ji Wuye swallow this insult?
"Mo Ya! Where has everyone gone?!"
With a single call, a large number of black feathers suddenly appeared in the space, and a man dressed in black feathers appeared in front of him, kneeling on the ground, his head lowered, not daring to look Ji Wuye in the eye.
