I’m The King Chapter 1141: :Continuing the past and ushering in the future (thirty-one)

"This is impossible!" Mao Wei jumped up and screamed: "How could the Chu army be the opponent of the Han army? Master Zhong, even if I don't know anything about the outside news, but you It's impossible to fool me like this, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"

Zhong Li laughed: "Mr. Mao, do you think I will lie to you on such a big event? If you can walk to the street, you will be filled with the Chu army's victory over Han just now on the battlefield." The news from the army. It is the new first army of the big man who is surrounded, and the commander is Zhang Hongyu, isn't he?"

Mao Wei turned around like a trapped animal in the room, and suddenly saw A Ping from the window, he rushed to the window, grabbed the window sill and shouted: "A Ping, A Ping!"

"My lord, what are your orders?" A Ping walked over quickly.

"What did you hear when you went to the street these two days?" Mao Wei asked eagerly.

"What did you hear?" A Ping showed some confusion in her eyes, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said with some hesitation: "My lord, it seems that the streets are celebrating, saying that the army of Chu defeated the army of Han , the servant girl didn't care too much about the specifics."

Mao Wei fell down on the chair with a bang. It seems that everything Zhongli said is true.

Zhong Li was very satisfied with the blow this news gave Mao Wei: "Mr. Mao, you see, the Han army is not invincible, and Gao Yuan is known as the undefeated **** of war. After this battle, his title will no longer be maintained. In fact, the matter is very simple. Han Guo and Gao Yuan are too aggressive. He forced the other two great powers, Qin and Chu, to unite. Han Guo's soldiers can face any country alone. Maybe they are really the strongest, but With the last two, it's not so handy!"

Looking at Mao Wei's dejected appearance, Zhong Li continued: "Gao Yuan is indeed a talented and generous king. At least one sentence I think he explained is very accurate, that is, the foundation of a country lies in people, but it is precisely this point , is getting him into trouble bit by bit. Qin and Chu are united. Our human resources are ten times that of Han, and our financial resources are not comparable to Han. Compared with Qin and Chu, which have been established for hundreds of years? This is the truth. Han may gain the upper hand in a short period of time, but if the stalemate continues for a long time, we will definitely win.”

"It's just a defeat." Mao Wei murmured.

"Yes, it's just a defeat, but it's just the beginning. He has proved that the Han army is not invincible, and everything is difficult at the beginning. This victory will greatly boost the morale of Qin Chu , while the Han army suffered an unprecedented blow. Mr. Mao, the Han country will eventually be defeated by Qin and Chu. I believe that Mr. Mao will make an accurate judgment on which one to follow. We do not deny that we hope that your Join, because your joining is to narrow the gap between us and Han in terms of armaments, but even if you don't join, we are full of confidence in victory, because weapons, in the final analysis, are just skills, what matters is people, and this is also a big man. King Gao Yuan said it himself, didn’t he?”

Zhongli stood up, "Mr. Mao think about it again, I hope to get the answer from Mr. as soon as possible, because we are about to leave soon, our next stop will be Yingcheng, or where we will be At that time, the special envoy of the Han army had already arrived in Ying City and asked for negotiations.”

"I want to think about it, I want to think about it!" Mao Wei murmured with his head down.

Zhong Li turned around with a smile, waved at Ming Tai, and the two left the house quietly.

"Master Hou, is this enough?" Mingtai asked in a low voice when he walked out of the room.

"It's too late!" Zhongli walked forward steadily, "Mao Wei is not a foolish person, nor is he a pedantic person. From his performance these days, we can judge that this person is from the Han Dynasty. He is a talented man who has studied in the highest institution of higher education, and has his own judgment on everything, you just need to state the facts to him.”

"My lord, I have learned a lot from my lord over the years!" Mingtai said sincerely.

Zhong Li smiled slightly, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Mingtai, "In our business, the most important thing is to judge people's hearts. When you do this well, many things will be much easier I'm old, and the Black Ice Platform will depend on you in the future. I believe that for a long time, your main opponent will be the Overwatch Council of the Han Dynasty. There are a lot of talents in the Overwatch Council. Cao Tianci is ruthless, Yi Bin is decisive, and Ning Xin Delicate, the combination of these three people is enough to give you a headache."

"The general has the confidence to defeat them." Mingtai said loudly.

"It is good to have confidence, but you must remember that you should never underestimate your opponent. In our line of business, making mistakes means failure and death. This time, because of Mao Wei, we lost almost everything For the spies of the Han Dynasty, even the hidden power of Tan Feng has been pulled out, and you will need a longer time to lay out the layout. On the contrary, the power of the Overwatch Council of the Han Dynasty in our country is growing rapidly. To put it bluntly To be honest, the life of the Han people is really enviable.”

"However, they can only recruit some low-level people. It is extremely difficult to break into our official system."

"That's right, what you said hit the point. Our officials are very disgusted by their policies, but some hidden enemies are not ruled out, such as the former prince."

"Isn't the eldest prince already..."

"Do you think it has been cleaned up? No, far from it. What we know is only on the surface of the water, and the water is still deep below the surface!" Zhong Li shook his head and sighed: "This time the action is for the country. In other words, it is a victory, a big victory, but for our black ice platform, it is really a loss-making business. Your most important job next, I am afraid that it will be used for domestic counter-insurgency. "

Mingtai fell silent. Indeed, this time the Black Ice Terrace suffered heavy losses, but isn’t the Black Ice Terrace serving the country? The real reason why the king wants to replace him! The old waiter regards the Black Ice Terrace as his own painstakingly managed property and not owned by Daqin.

However, Lord Hou is a sensible person. Retiring bravely is actually his best choice. The new king has been in office for almost a year, and he has established a firm foothold in all aspects. The major troops have basically been replaced by the new king's trust. The general and Prime Minister Fan Sui have already lost their sincerity, and Master Zhong, who holds an absolute power in his hands, is indeed not suitable to stay in this position.

The two left the courtyard in silence.

In the small courtyard, Mao Wei has been sitting there like this, motionless. I don't know how long it has passed. Seeing that the sun has gradually set and the night is slowly falling, A Ping, who has visited several times, finally panics. Confused, he boldly broke into the door.

"My lord, my lord!" he called softly.

Mao Wei is like a sculpture, motionless, A Ping stretches out her hand and pushes Mao Wei on the shoulder, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

The body shook suddenly, and Mao Wei woke up suddenly, looked at the lights in the house, and then looked at A Ping with a panicked face, "Is it actually dark?"

"My lord, you have been sitting here blankly for a whole afternoon, but you have frightened A Ping." A Ping patted her chest lightly and said in a low voice.

"I'm thinking about something." Mao Wei said: "A Ping, how do you think you should live your life?"

A Ping was stunned: "My lord, I don't understand anything, I just know that people don't have many years to live in this life, so naturally they have to live well, and live as they please. If it is possible, I can't wrong myself .”

Mao Wei smiled and nodded, "But how could you wrong yourself? For the sake of your family, you even sold yourself."

"Isn't this a difficult hurdle at home? But it's hard to explain clearly the fate of life. At that time, I felt that I was facing a catastrophe, but now, my life is much better than before. The problem is also solved." A Ping said happily. "Or sometimes, changing the way of life is the best choice."

The smile on Mao Wei's face gradually faded: "Is that what Mr. Zhong told you?"

Looking at Mao Wei's slumped face, A Ping suddenly trembled with fright, and knelt down with a bang: "No, no, this is what the servant girl thought. That Master Zhong just told me to Take care of your life, when you are free, I will tell you more about my hometown and sing songs of my hometown.”

Mao Wei was silent for a while, "Get up, I am thinking too much."

Seeing A Ping standing up tremblingly, Mao Wei asked a little strangely: "Why are you so afraid of me?"

"My lord, A Ping was able to get this chance because she was able to serve my lord. Once my lord doesn't want me, I'm afraid the family will be in serious trouble, and they won't care about my younger brother. That Lord Zhong must be A very powerful person.”

"Of course he is a very powerful person." Mao Wei nodded.

"But I think you are very powerful, my lord. That Mr. Zhong is very powerful, isn't he polite in front of you?" A Ping said, "It is A Ping's good fortune to be able to follow my lord."

"Chicken head and phoenix tail, two opportunities, when presented to you, which one would you choose?"

"Of course I choose the chicken head." A Ping didn't hesitate at all, "Being a chicken head, at least on one-third of an acre of land, is completely up to you, and being a phoenix tail, all the glory and credit , how can there be a feather on the phoenix tail, don't you think? The county magistrate is not as good as the county!"

"Would you rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail?" Mao Wei murmured. "Okay, go down, I have to think about it myself."

Watching A Ping walk out of the room, Mao Weipu blew out the oil lamp in the room with a bang, completely plunged himself into darkness.

I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail! In the Yizhen Research Institute, I may only be an ordinary researcher forever, but if I go to Qin State, I may create a whole new world.( To be continued...)
