Chat group: In Daqin, Dongjun brought happiness to us

Such a simple scheme was able to fool the entire South Korea without anyone even making advance preparations.

Just by thinking about it, Mo Ya could guess that once the Qin State tore off the disguise of marriage and launched an attack on the Han State, the Han State would probably be completely overthrown under the iron hoof of the Qin army in a short time.

"You have to understand. The reason we were able to break free from our former cage wasn't because of ourselves, but because of you!!" Mo Ya, fearing Bai Feng might harbor some inappropriate thoughts again after regaining consciousness, quickly reminded her and then asked, "How's things going at the Han Palace? Also, how are those in Xinzheng City who might have an impact on you, the young master's plan?"

"Inside the Han Palace, Madam Mingzhu and Lady Hu have made complete preparations. Once the Qin army under the Young Master enters the city, they will be able to control the entire Han Palace and King Han An in a short period of time."

Bai Feng first reported the results of the contact with King Han's palace, then, after a flash of hesitation, said, "As for those who may have an impact on your plan..."

After a pause, Bai Feng hesitated and said, "According to the intelligence we've gathered, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang seem to be planning something. They also seem to have some connection with the Taoist sect. Even the Mohist sect seems to have begun activities in Xinzheng!!"

"No accurate intelligence?" Mo Ya frowned. In his opinion, Bai Feng's response was almost always prefixed with words like "seems" and "maybes."

After all, Mo Ya was once the leader of the Hundred Birds, even if he was only in charge of the Hundred Birds' forces in South Korea. But his qualities were definitely not something Bai Feng could match.

"I'm so sorry!" Bai Feng lowered his head and said, "Wei Zhuang is, after all, the heir of Zongheng. Not only is he formidable himself, he also has numerous subordinates in Xinzheng. To avoid alerting the enemy, the intelligence we can confirm is extremely limited. As for Zhang Liang, he seems to have been confined to his house after a quarrel with Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi. But we suspect this is just a deception. I'm afraid Zhang Liang has other means to circumvent our surveillance!"

Thoughts raced through Mo Ya's mind. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Let's be as prepared as possible. When the young master enters the city, we must eliminate all those who might pose a threat to him. No matter what, we can't let those creatures affect him!"

Chapter 151 Becoming a whirlpool for the entire world!

After Ying An left Xinzheng, South Korea, the entire Liusha organization fell apart.

In addition to Zi Nu and Zi Lan Xuan defecting to the Qin State, Han Fei, the prince of Han, also faced the reality and completely gave up his unrealistic fantasies.

Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang, two of the four giants of Liusha, still stick to their ideals.

Although the Liusha organization officially declined rapidly without Han Fei, the Liusha organization still managed to survive tenaciously in Han State thanks to the presence of Zhang Liang, a descendant of the Zhang family who served as prime minister to Han.

Even now, Liusha, without the shackles of Han Fei, has grown larger and larger, attracting countless knowledgeable people who are willing to revitalize Korea.

Of course, there are many people with insight. But amidst the shifting sands, there are still more opportunists.

For the opportunists, joining Liusha was not necessarily because they truly wanted to revitalize South Korea and oppose the Qin State. The bigger reason was that they themselves were not valued in South Korea.

Simply put, South Korea's interests were limited. Those at the top of the nation, like Han Wangan, Ji Wuye, and Zhang Kaidi, took the lion's share, while the powerful took the rest. Those with nothing naturally needed a path to upward mobility. Flowing Sand, precisely, offered them this hope. This was the real reason they joined.

To some extent, the current Liusha organization is a mixed bag. Although Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang firmly control the direction of Liusha, compared to the time when Han Fei was there, the current Liusha has begun to degenerate. Even if it hasn't yet truly degenerated into a future assassin organization, it has gradually distanced itself from the Han court.

Unlike when Han Fei was still around, Han Fei was always the Grand Secretary of Justice in the Han court. But Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang were different.

Although Zhang Liang came from an extraordinary family, he had no status in the court. He was destined to have no say in the Han court. He could only make some moves in the market.

Once the Qin army marches eastward, the current Quicksand Organization will be unable to pose any obstacle to the Qin army.

This is also the reason why Mo Ya now doesn't take Wei Zhuang seriously at all.

Even if Mo Ya, like Wei Zhuang, could only thrive in the marketplace of Han, he still had a strong presence in Qin. Once Han fell, he would be able to turn things around.

Bai Feng pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Since it's already been confirmed that Liusha, the Taoist clan, and the Mohist clan will hinder your plan, why not eliminate them now? The power you have now should be enough to do it, right?"

Mo Ya glanced at Bai Feng and said, "If I didn't know you very well, I would have suspected that you were deliberately trying to deceive me so that you could ask for credit and reward from the young master."

"Why do you say that?" Bai Feng was puzzled.

"Our purpose in staying in Xinzheng, Han State, is not to initiate an attack. With your strength, there's no need for us to interfere. Our sole purpose in Xinzheng is to provide you with sufficient intelligence." Mo Ya explained, then paused slightly. "As for the people from the Taoist clan, the Mohist school, and the Liusha, they will naturally be handed over to you. Even if we want to take action against them, we must obtain your permission and cannot act on our own. Do you understand?"

Bai Feng nodded as if he understood, and said, "Then what should I do next?"

Knowing Bai Feng's character, Mo Ya knew that Xinzheng would soon become a vortex for the entire world. Under such circumstances, if Bai Feng stayed in Xinzheng, he might cause trouble that even he himself would be unable to deal with.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Ya said, "I'll hand over the task of monitoring Xinzheng to someone else. Next, you should head to Qin State to welcome the young master!"

"You want to kick me out?" Bai Feng said in disbelief.

"What are you thinking?" Mo Ya shook his head and said, "This is only temporary. After all, we need a smooth channel between us and the young master. You should also know that this channel was previously built on the foundation of Luowang."

Bai Feng seemed to have thought of something. After nodding, he said, "I understand. Before I leave, do I need to meet Princess Honglian?"

Mo Ya was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He looked at Bai Feng with a smile and said, "Not bad. You are more thoughtful than I thought. Before going to see the young master, let's go see Princess Honglian first. After all, maybe in the future, if we do something that makes the young master unhappy, we will need Princess Honglian to help mediate! ”

"Your ideas are too complicated." Bai Feng frowned, with an obvious look of reluctance on his face.

"It's not as complicated as I thought." Mo Ya said earnestly, "It's just that our identities are different now than they were before. When we were in Bai Niao, you and I only had to obey Ji Wuye's orders. We didn't need to consider anything else. Back then, we were just tools. Now, from the moment we joined the young master, we have shed our former identities. If you don't want to be the boss, then you must have this awareness!!"

Bai Feng stared at Mo Ya steadily, and after a long while, he said, "Mo Ya, you've changed!!"

"Nothing in this world remains unchanged. Even Ji Wuye, who was once invincible in our eyes, now seems like a clown. Could you and I have ever imagined that Ji Wuye would be so unbearable? Everything is just a matter of time." Mo Ya stood up, patted Bai Feng on the shoulder, and said, "Okay. Don't think about it, just do as I say. Let's go visit Princess Honglian first."

Bai Feng nodded, looked at Mo Ya hesitantly, then jumped and disappeared from Mo Ya's sight.

Looking at the direction where Bai Feng left, Mo Ya sighed softly, his eyes full of complexity.

The Qin State's military law was the strictest in the world.

Ying An led a well-equipped team and successfully arrived at the border between Qin and Han in just ten days.

Faced with Ying An who came in person with a large army, the Korean defenders fell into great panic.

Although the army led by Ying An only had tens of thousands of men, the Qin army's fighting power had grown stronger day by day since Shang Yang's reforms.

Today, it has been regarded as a tiger and a wolf by the seven kingdoms. And South Korea, which has been the first to bear the brunt of the attack, has also experienced the most painful lessons from Qin.

Even though they knew that the army led by Ying An was coming to welcome the bride, not to attack South Korea, the South Korean defenders, who had already developed psychological trauma, were still frightened.

After some negotiations, Ying An and others only had to wait for two days before the Korean defenders easily opened the border defense.

I have to admit that South Korea really attaches too much importance to the marriage agreement signed between the two countries.

Chapter 152: A loyal minister will not serve two masters; a virtuous woman will not marry two husbands!

From South Korea's perspective, since they had entered into an alliance with Qin, it was impossible for a conflict to break out between the two sides, at least in the short term.

But no matter what, South Korea would never have dreamed that Ying An and the Qin State would be able to cross the bottom line again.

Before the rise of the Qin State, although the world was in constant war, it had extremely high war ethics.

No fighting in winter and no casualties are almost universally recognized rules among all nations in war.

But Qin's Bai Qi completely broke these battlefield ethics. From then on, the war slid more and more into a bottomless direction.

This time, when the news spread that Ying An had destroyed a country in the name of welcoming a bride, I am afraid that morality in war will completely disappear.

As the Korean border guards cleared the path for the wedding procession, Ying An, by surprise, took down the Korean border guards, leaving them completely exposed to the Qin army.

What's even more terrifying is that because the Han border defense received the order from Xinzheng, it had no time to spread the news that Qin had launched a war to destroy Han.

As more and more Qin troops poured into the cities of South Korea.

At this moment in Xinzheng City, Han Wangan, Ji Wuye and other powerful people of the Kingdom of Han were still immersed in the fantasy of peace after the marriage.

Inside the Han Xiang residence.

"What did you say?" Zhang Kaidi's hair stood on end. His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.

"Grandfather!" Zhang Liang's face was pale, but his tone was heavy. "The news can't be wrong. Qin... Qin is using the excuse of welcoming the bride this time to completely destroy Han. The important border towns were caught completely off guard and have all been captured by the Qin army. Now... now I'm afraid the Qin army is less than a day away from Xinzheng!"

"One day..." Zhang Kai suddenly fell to the ground.

What can you do in one day?

Given South Korea's current situation, the Qin army would probably have occupied Xinzheng and completely destroyed South Korea before the news was passed on and preparations for war were made.

When Zhang Kaidi thought of that horrific scene, he couldn't understand why the Qin State would do such a thing.

In the name of welcoming a bride, they started a war to destroy the country. In this way, even if Qin could easily destroy Han, who in the world would dare to trust Qin in the future?

The Qin State is simply making a joke of its own credibility.

A man without trust cannot stand, and a country without trust will suffer even more terrible consequences.

However, no matter what Zhang Kaidi was thinking at the moment, the time left for him and South Korea was extremely limited.

"Grandfather, calm down!" Zhang Liang said anxiously, "You must cheer up immediately and inform the king of the news. Otherwise, my country of Korea..."

"It's no use!" Zhang Kai closed his eyes in pain. He knew very well that South Korea hadn't made any preparations in the past. Even now, many powerful people in South Korea were still dreaming that a marriage alliance with Qin would protect them from Qin's attacks.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, everyone in South Korea was deceived.

"Grandfather!!" Zhang Liang was heartbroken and was about to say something, but Zhang Kaidi stopped him at this moment.

"Zifang!!" Zhang Kaidi was indeed worthy of being the Prime Minister of Han for generations. To a certain extent, he was even able to force Ji Wuye to respond in a rude and overbearing manner.

At this moment, after clearly realizing that South Korea had no chance of turning things around, he had to consider the future of himself and the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has been prime ministers of Han for generations, and this good reputation cannot be ruined in his hands no matter what.

A loyal minister will not serve two masters; a virtuous woman will not marry two husbands. If he wants to preserve the Zhang family's reputation of loyalty and righteousness, then he can only die with the fall of Han.

But in this way, he was able to leave a huge reputation to his grandson Zhang Liang.

With this reputation as protection, I believe that even the Qin State would show leniency to Zhang Liang.

After calming himself down, Zhang Kaidi said, "It's too late. With the strength of the Qin army, they can easily reach Xinzheng in a day. Listen to me, you must leave Xinzheng immediately and go to Sanghai in Qi. I have already discussed this with the Confucianists, and you will become their disciple. If there is a chance for Han to restore its independence in the future, please remember that my Zhang family has been ministers to Han for generations. If that is not possible, then keep yourself useful! Go! I believe you will make a clear judgment in the future. The Zhang family will be handed over to you! Leave now before the news spreads!"

"Grandfather!" Zhang Liang instantly understood that Zhang Kaidi was clearly telling him to leave Han as soon as possible and not die with Han. As for himself, Zhang Liang had already guessed from Zhang Kaidi's appreciation for the Zhang family's generations of ministers to Han that his grandfather was probably prepared to sacrifice his life for his country.

I know very clearly that if I really leave, then I will be separated from my grandfather and father forever.

But Zhang Liang also knew that Zhang Kaidi had made up his mind and he could not persuade him. Even if Liusha's strength was enough to allow the Zhang family to take their valuables and leave Xinzheng smoothly in a short time, Zhang Kaidi would never accept it.

Looking at Zhang Kaidi with a heavy heart, Zhang Liang hesitated for a long time before kneeling on both knees and kowtowed to his grandfather, saying, "Grandfather, Liang will never let you and Han Guo down!"

Zhang Kai nodded slightly, as if he had exhausted every last bit of his strength in that short time. He waved his hand weakly at Zhang Liang and said, "Go. While there's still time, say goodbye to your father and leave as soon as possible!!"

Zhang Liang's eyes instantly turned red.

After saying goodbye to his grandfather, Zhang Liang found his father as instructed, and while instructing the servants to pack up some valuables, he said goodbye to his father.

At this time, Zhang Kaidi took a bath and changed his clothes calmly. He put on the luxurious clothes of the Prime Minister of Korea, abandoned his carriage, and walked towards the Palace of King Han step by step.

On the busy streets of Xinzheng City, people would occasionally spot Zhang Kaidi. But even high-ranking officials, not knowing Zhang Kaidi's purpose, wouldn't dare disturb the Prime Minister Han, let alone the common people.

News of Zhang Kaidi's actions soon reached the palace of King Han.

When he heard that Zhang Xiangguo was actually dressed in gorgeous clothes and walking towards the Han Palace, even Han Wangan did not dare to neglect it at this moment.

After thinking about what he had done during this period, King Han An really couldn't think of anything that would be worthy of a prime minister like Zhang Kaidi to do such a thing.

Even so, King An of Han still followed the etiquette and personally came to the outside of the Han Palace to greet Zhang Kaidi.

Chapter 153: The Day of Death Together! The Last Fig Leaf!

Outside the Palace of King Han, King Han An, dressed in his best attire, saw Zhang Kai's staggering figure from afar. He immediately pushed aside the guards around him and strode forward to greet him.

“Zhang Xiang!! Zhang Xiang!! Why did you have to do this!! Why did you have to do this!!”

Having been a monarch and a minister with Han Wangan for such a long time, how could Zhang Kaidi not know that at this moment Han Wangan was just acting like a prominent monarch.

Of course, although it was a performance, before Han Wangan ascended the throne, when he was still Prince An, he was indeed a very prominent person. At least as a king, the former Prince An was qualified.

Unfortunately, after becoming King An of Han and truly controlling the Kingdom of Han, he finally understood how difficult and arduous it was to revive the Kingdom of Han, being surrounded by enemies and becoming the weakest of the seven kingdoms.

To a certain extent, King Han An became the foolish King Han he is today entirely because of the conflict between ideals and reality. His former ambitions completely disappeared under the terrible pressure of reality.

He broke free from Han Wang'an's hands, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Han Wang'an, and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent! I am incompetent!!"

As he spoke, Zhang Kaidi's face was already filled with tears.

This really confused Han Wangan, who was confused.

What's going on? What's going on with Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi? Han has now entered into an alliance with Qin, and although they need to cede three cities, the pretext for ceding them is to hand them over to Qin as a dowry along with the red lotus.

Although the inside is completely gone, at least there is still a layer of fig leaf.

Moreover, as long as the marriage is completed, then at least in his lifetime, there should be no need to worry about the destruction of South Korea. Why is Zhang Kaidi now acting like a vassal of a fallen country?

For a moment, Han Wangan was confused and felt a little dissatisfied with Zhang Kaidi.

In his opinion, even if he never received the reputation of a wise monarch, he would definitely not be regarded as a king who lost his country. So what was Zhang Kaidi trying to do now? Was he trying to put the blame on himself?

After a burst of tears, she raised her head with tearful eyes and looked at King An of Han, saying with deep sorrow, "Your Majesty, we've been deceived! The Qin State... The Qin State is not a filial son. They shamelessly used the excuse of marriage to destroy our country. That so-called wedding was simply to destroy our Han army! Now... now, in less than a day, the army will be completely at the gates of our city. Han... Han is going to be destroyed!!"

Han Wangan's vision went dark, and he stumbled, his body swaying. Fortunately, the guards who followed him came up and supported him in time.

Finally calming down, King Han An grabbed Zhang Kaidi's wrist and shouted angrily, "How could this happen? Where are the border guards? What are they doing? Are we just going to watch Qin swallow up our Han territory?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Zhang Kaidi said inconsolably, "It was the Qin State. They deceived us. They deceived the entire world!"

At this moment, King An of Han also understood. The border guards were not to blame. Over the years, Qin's image as a ferocious nation had been deeply ingrained in people's minds. Han, the first to bear the brunt of the attack, was even more aware of the brutality of Qin's soldiers under the military merit system.

In order to gain military merit, after every battle, the Qin soldiers would happily cut off the enemy's heads and tie them around their waists.
