In Qin Dynasty, the future can be expected

Chapter 70 Ideals and Realities

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Ze, who had just stepped off the carriage, had a chill down his back.

"Uncle?" Ying Zheng also noticed something strange about Ying Ze.

"Why do I have a bad premonition..."

He was going to go home, but he just heard that Huayang fell ill, and Gongzheng of Huayang Palace was waiting at the gate of his city, so he came with Yingzheng, could it be...

Mom is angry?
Uh... To be honest, he is a bit inappropriate. However, Hua Yang only talked to him before the expedition. The relationship between the two has come back a lot, and he just flooded Chu State with 20 yuan. People, making people sick...

"Forget it, it's a big deal to go back and get beaten up." Ying Ze shook his head, coming all the time,
"I'll go to Huayang Palace. You go to your mother and report that you are safe. By the way, don't say that I went to Huayang Palace, otherwise she will definitely make trouble with me."

Ying Ze looked at Ying Zheng solemnly,

"If she fights with me, you kid..."

"..." Ying Zheng.

"understand……"

That's what I said, but thinking about the "friendly exchange" between Ying Ze and him a few days ago, Ying Zheng felt that this was cheap...

He has to make a mistake!
……

Huayang Palace.

Hua Yang was lying on the sickbed with a haggard face, and she hadn't gotten up since she got the news.

Although Bai Zhi asked Nian Duan from Luoyang Jun's mansion to show her, but...

Heart disease, where did you get the medicine...

"Queen Mother, Lord Luoyang has arrived." Gong Zheng came to report.

"Hmm..." Hua Yang supported her body and wanted to sit up, but she really couldn't do it.

"You guys go down first." Ying Ze walked in and looked at the attendants in the hall.

"Go." Hua Yang also said.

"Yes."

Ying Ze approached, opened the bed curtain, and saw the pale Hua Yang, who had completely lost the heroic spirit he had before the expedition.

"Xiao Ze, why did you do this..." Hua Yang raised his right hand vigorously, trembling, tears flashed in his eyes.

Ying Ze squatted down and held Hua Yang's right hand,
"I want to say that I don't want to either, will you believe me?"

He was telling the truth, he really didn't want to be drowned, but in that situation, he didn't even have time to hesitate, if the more than 50 coalition troops ran away, and when Pang Nuan led them to make a comeback, at that time, how much would Qin lose?

Although he also has another option, to take the 60 Qin army to fight directly with the coalition forces, consume the coalition forces, and then use threats to persuade the coalition forces to surrender when the coalition forces are unable to break through, there is a high probability that it will be successful.

But how much will the Qin army lose?

he does not know.

He was the one who gave the coalition army a city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. He also knew how difficult the terrain was. If a war started, the Qin army's losses... would not be less than 20.

To be honest, the two options have little impact on his reputation, and the result will only be that he wins, even if he chooses to win head-on, now he will not bear the burden of killing with no regard for human relations, and persuade him to surrender The positive impact is greater, but...

He can't.

He took these 60 people to the battlefield, and he has to be responsible for these 60 people, instead of paying them for his own purposes.

Opposite is the enemy!There are comrades by your side, so you don't need to think about how to choose this f*ck!
The ass decides the head!

He had no choice either.

"I believe..." Hua Yang shook her head bitterly. She knew that Ying Ze was not a bloodthirsty person, but... 20 people, 20 people in Chu State, just disappeared...

"But why did you just drown..."

Hua Yang is not a fool, she knows that Ying Ze did it, it must be, there are not so many coincidences, it's all man-made.

"What I want to do and what I can do will always be separated by an insurmountable gap. I'm just an ordinary person and I can't control so much..." Ying Ze shook his head, what he wanted was to persuade him to surrender , but without that condition.

Originally, he was thinking of waiting for the coalition forces to forcefully attack Hangu Pass, first to consume it, and then he tried to cut off the logistics. Afterwards, the Yan army stabbed the Zhao army in the back, causing the coalition forces to fight. crash.

After that, he drove the chaotic coalition forces into those cities. The coalition forces in that state had no way to break through. After that, he launched several attrition wars to completely defeat the fighting spirit of the coalition forces, and then issued documents to persuade countries to surrender.

If it doesn't work, he can show them a demonstration. In that case, the success rate of persuading surrender is extremely high.

But the plan is different from the reality, the gap between the ideal and the reality will always exist, and the fighter is fleeting, so he can only change the plan according to the battle situation.

Now...it's really not the result he wanted.

"Aren't you afraid?" Hua Yang took Ying Ze's hand and supported it with all his strength.
"Bai Qi killed 20 soldiers, his reputation was wiped out, the god of war became a butcher, and you, 50! You also dug the embankment of the Yellow River! You will be infamous forever!"

"Afraid? Retained for thousands of years?" Ying Ze shook his head,

"I only did what I had to do, why should I be afraid?"

"As for the Yellow River dam, I didn't dig it casually. I didn't move the main part, but only the diversion line. It took me more than three years to change the downstream river course. How many people have been asked to study how it will not affect the downstream. People, as for the people along the coast, I had already evacuated before the start of the war to prevent accidents..."

"The fact is the same. The rising river did not get out of control. It only went where I wanted it to go. No innocent people were implicated...I have tried my best."

He has done his best to reduce the damage, and did not let the rising water of the Yellow River become a real disaster. Instead, he used the coalition garrison as a temporary flood discharge site. When the flood season of the Yellow River is over, he will repair and reinforce those dams, and there will be no problems.

"As for the long-lasting stink..." Ying Ze was silent for a moment,
"To be honest, I'm a little scared."

After all, being whipped dead after death, that feeling...he still didn't want to feel it.

"Then you still..." Hua Yang really didn't understand the benefits of Ying Ze doing this. A Luoyang Lord who has already made a name for himself doesn't need to do this kind of thing at all. It's not merit!Just woe!disaster!

"In my position, I have a clear conscience." Ying Ze said seriously,

"In war, the means are secondary. Winning is the key. No matter how despicable and ruthless I am, I won. This is a fact and the most important fact."

"As for reputation, if I need it, I can throw it away at any time. It's just something outside of me. Whether I care about it or not, it can't change the fact that this thing is useless to me. I don't live by this reputation, and . . . and my reputation has been preserved."

First came public opinion, then paper and quyuanli, and then rice, treatise on typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases... He is a villain, but he is also a villain with mixed reputation.

"I killed those 50 people. Maybe I will pay for it one day, but definitely not now."

"Now, I'm the winner and I have a clear conscience."

"I owe them nothing. The two armies are at war. If they have the opportunity and the ability to kill me, they will not be lenient, and neither will I."

"So, they don't want to use righteousness to suppress me. What is righteousness?"

"Who decides?"

"During this period of time, I only had one firm idea." Ying Ze stared closely at the weak Huayang Queen Mother,
"My heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, and what I do..."

"It's all righteousness!"
