Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

Even Honglian and Nanyue, who had never practiced before, were about to break through to the Grandmaster level.

Through their interactions with Zhao Chen, these women gained an in-depth understanding of his personality and gradually developed feelings for him, just like Yan Fei and others.

Han Fei was completely conquered by several conversations with Zhao Chen and was willing to follow Zhao Chen. However, he was unwilling to serve as an official in Qin and only said that he would consider this matter after Zhao Chen became the King of Qin.

Although Wei Zhuang did not explicitly express his intention to follow Zhao Chen, he already admired Zhao Chen very much in his heart, but he was unwilling to say it out loud because of his pride.

Under Zhao Chen's guidance, he gained a deeper understanding of the Zongheng sword technique.

Zhao Chen's strength had greatly improved. Although he still wasn't as strong as his senior brother Gai Nie, he would surely catch up with him given time. Because of this, as winter receded and spring approached, Zhao Chen had already figured out how to deal with Han Fei and Wei Zhuang. So he approached Ying Zheng.

"You little brat, you've been missing for several months. Could it be that you've been drowned in all the beauties? Or have you gone into hibernation?"

"Dad, how dare you say that! You're even sending me women! Aren't you afraid I'll become a tyrant because I'm obsessed with women and neglect state affairs?"

"Don't change the subject. Do you like it or not?" Ying Zheng asked directly. "This..." Zhao Chen was speechless.

Seeing Zhao Chen stunned, Ying Zheng smiled.

Humph, boy, do you really think I can't tell what you've been doing all this time? Do you really think I don't know how close I am to those women?

I didn't expect that you really have the same style as I did back then. You are so attractive to women. You are worthy of being my descendant.

"Never mind, I'm here to talk to you today!" Zhao Chen said. "What's it? What's up?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Dad, take a look. This is the map of Baiyue I drew by hand." Zhao Chen unfolded the map and placed it in front of Ying Zheng. "Huh? Are you planning to attack Baiyue?"

"No, although the Five Kingdoms are no longer a threat, it will take time for Great Qin to completely consolidate the Five Kingdoms. Therefore, my first five-year plan does not include attacking the Baiyue. But this does not mean that we can ignore the Baiyue. We can send people to explore first, and after Great Qin unifies the six kingdoms and consolidates them, we can conquer the Baiyue in one fell swoop."

"Good idea, it seems you already have a candidate?" Ying Zheng asked, without asking why Zhao Chen wanted to take over Baiyue.

"Dad, don't you ask me why I want to attack Baiyue?" Zhao Chen asked back.

"What's there to ask? I was originally going to attack the Baiyue after unifying the six kingdoms. There's nothing strange about that," Ying Zheng replied. He had already planned to attack the Baiyue after unifying the six kingdoms, something he had already planned. He was surprised that Zhao Chen would bring it up ahead of time, which made him feel both surprised and a little disappointed that they had met too late.

"Wow!" Zhao Chen looked at Ying Zheng with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected his father to have been plotting against the Baiyue so long ago. He truly was the ruthless man ready to lead an army of 500,000 to conquer the Baiyue. He was truly impressive!

At the time, the Baiyue region was practically desolate, remote, and environmentally hostile. Common sense would have dictated that conquering the Baiyue was a thankless task. However, my father had already been planning to conquer the Baiyue. Unlike me, he possessed the foresight to foresee the future, which was only due to my father's greatness.

Although the Baiyue were located in a remote area in the south, surrounded by desolate land, they were still nominally under the control of Chu. Once Chu was destroyed, the Baiyue people would inevitably feel resentful, and some warriors loyal to Chu might even seek revenge for Chu, like a stone lying in wait.

Furthermore, the Baiyue were too far from the Qin's ruling center. Without military action, it would be difficult to completely control them, which would be detrimental to Qin's internal stability. I think my father must have taken these factors into consideration!

However, the strategies my father would adopt in the future might not necessarily outweigh the risks. The Qin Dynasty's conquest of the Baiyue cost it over a decade, enormous military resources, and over 300,000 casualties, leading to widespread poverty and frequent rebellions, ultimately hastening the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

However, now that Zhao Chen is here, I believe conquering Baiyue should not be that difficult.

This was the reason Zhao Chen came to see Ying Zheng. "Father, do you still remember Han Fei and Wei Zhuang?"

"Of course I remember. Han Fei is extremely talented, but unfortunately he's unwilling to serve me and instead submits to you. To be honest, I'm a little jealous."

Although Ying Zheng said this, it was mostly a joke. In his opinion, the future of Qin belonged to Zhao Chen, so having a few retainers around was normal for him.

"That's all irrelevant. I plan to dispatch 3,000 soldiers to Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, and have them penetrate deep into the Baiyue to see what they are capable of. It would be best if we could conquer the Baiyue after we unify the six kingdoms. That way, you, father, wouldn't have to go through the trouble of conquering them yourself."

"Do you trust them so much? Can a mere three thousand men pacify the Baiyue? Besides, even if they conquer the Baiyue, aren't you afraid they'll declare themselves kings? Han Fei is a son of the Han royal family, and Wei Zhuang is his good friend. Do you think it's appropriate to trust them so much?"

"There is no need to say much about Han Fei's talents. I believe father has already known about it. As for Wei Zhuang, he is not only a martial arts genius, but also very good at commanding the army. His military talent is probably comparable to Pang Juan. I gave them three thousand soldiers and horses, which is considered an opportunity. Whether they can pacify the Baiyue depends on themselves. Before Qin unified the six countries, it could not provide any help. Everything depends on themselves. If they can pacify the Baiyue, wouldn't that prove their talents? Moreover, if they can not only pacify the Baiyue, but also govern it well, wouldn't it be a better display of their talents? As for making himself king, what I can give, I can take back." It was obvious that Zhao Chen was very confident in his decision.

"Hahaha, you're worthy of being my son, with such ambition and confidence. Okay, I agree." Ying Zheng seemed very happy. He liked Zhao Chen's aura and felt that his son was very similar to himself. "You are really my good son. You did a good job."

"Zhao Gao, go and tell Wang Ben to select three thousand elite soldiers from the Lantian camp, and let the young master arrange them." "Yes, sir!"

"Father, I have to take my leave first." "Go!"

After Zhao Chen left.

"Gai Nie, is Wei Zhuang's military talent really as great as you say, on par with Pang Juan?"

"Your Majesty, what the young master said is true. Junior brother's understanding of the art of war far exceeds mine. With more experience, he may even surpass Pang Juan."

"Oh, how does he compare to Han Xin?" "I'm not in a position to comment on that."

"Haha, very good. Besides Han Xin, we also have Wei Zhuang. That's great!" Ying Zheng was very satisfied. Wang Jian had repeatedly praised Han Xin's commanding abilities in battle reports, believing that his future talent would surpass his own. This all stemmed from Zhao Chen's recommendation. With the addition of young generals like Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, and Li Xin, the future Qin State would be filled with talented individuals, ensuring a steady supply of available personnel.

After getting Ying Zheng's consent, Zhao Chen immediately went to find Han Fei and Wei Zhuang.

"Zhao Gao, once General Wang Ben has selected three thousand elite soldiers, have them remain at the Lantian camp and await my notification before handing them over to Han Fei and Wei Zhuang. Also, prepare more weapons. Besides spears and swords, also prepare sufficient ammunition. Also, allocate five thousand dan of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Go ahead!" "Yes, sir!"

Zhao Gao left quickly, and Zhao Chen went to Han Fei and Wei Zhuang's villa.

"Young Master, how come you have time to come here? What do you want to talk to me about?" Honglian was talking to Han Fei. When she saw Zhao Chen, she immediately stood up and ran over quickly.

"Honglian, you've been lazy about practicing martial arts again."

"No, I just need to take a short rest today." Honglian hurriedly explained.

"Haha, that's fine. It's good to relax occasionally. After all, cultivation requires a balance between work and rest."

"Honglian, stop bothering me. I'm sure you have something to tell me when you come here today." Han Fei saw that Honglian wanted to say something, so he quickly stopped her and turned to ask Zhao Chen.

"There are indeed some things, and they may be good for you." "Where are Honglian, Yanlingji and the other sisters? Call them over!" "Okay, go right away!"

Honglian also realized that there might be something important to announce, so she quickly left the villa. Soon, Zi Nu, Nanyue, Yan Lingji and others arrived at the scene.

"Little brother, what brings you here today? I'm about to break through to the Grandmaster level. Could it be that you brought me a Grandmaster Pill?" After Yan Lingji got to know Zhao Chen, she always liked to joke with him whenever she saw him. She always found Zhao Chen's helpless look particularly amusing.

"Sir, is there something important?" Han Fei asked.

"Yes, it's true," Zhao Chen replied solemnly. "This matter has something to do with everyone. I hope you will give it serious consideration. Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

His tone was so serious that a heavy feeling settled over everyone present: Just how serious was this? Was something about to happen in South Korea? Or was it some momentous decision they had to make?

Everyone had different thoughts and looked at Zhao Chen silently, waiting for his further explanation.

"Brother Han Fei, Brother Wei Zhuang, I plan to let you go to Baiyue." As soon as Zhao Chen opened his mouth, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that it was related to Baiyue.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Little brother, you shouldn't be thinking about taking action against Baiyue so early!" Yan Lingji looked at Zhao Chen with a serious expression.

"That's true, but we won't take action yet. In any case, we have to wait until Qin unifies the six kingdoms before taking action against the Baiyue. By then, it may no longer be necessary." Zhao Chen nodded, looked at Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, and continued:

"Brother Wei Zhuang, I know you have great ambitions. You want to dominate the world, become a powerful figure who can influence the chess game of the world, seize the power to rule the world, and create a new world. But now it seems that achieving such a goal is not easy. However, I still admire your ideals. This is a rare opportunity. I will give you 3,000 elite soldiers. You and Han Fei will lead them to Baiyue to display your talents.
