Chapter 950: The Magnificent Power of Han (Seventy-Four)

"This is impossible!" Wu Qi refused, "This is the internal affairs of our Wei State. Believe me, General Bu, I will give you and General Zhou a satisfactory answer."

"Prime Minister Wu, I really can't rest assured. There are spies of the Qin State hidden within our joint command headquarters, and there must also be agents within the system that provides us with logistics supplies. This is tantamount to manipulating the fate of our army. In the hands of others, this time it was General Zhou who was unlucky, and next time, it might be us. I can't make fun of the lives of all the soldiers in the army." The infantryman insisted.

"General Bu, I think you should know that this is a very sensitive issue. If I ask your country's Oversight Council to intervene, not only will the king not agree, but it will also cause an uproar in the court. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will even be the leader. I can't keep my position as assistant, I believe your king definitely doesn't want to lose me as a collaborator, don't you think so?" Wu Qi shook his head.

"Perhaps we can make a deal!" the infantryman said with a smile, "a deal that satisfies everyone in your country."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to trade this matter!" Wu Qi said.

"Not necessarily." The infantryman looked at Wu Qi, "Everything has a price, it just depends on whether he is suitable. Mr. Wu, don't you want to hear my price?"

Wu Qi was startled, "Okay, General Bu, since you insist, I'll just listen."

"About recruiting new soldiers in the concession area." The infantryman put forward his conditions.

"The incident of recruiting new soldiers within the concession?" Wu Qi was immediately attracted by this topic, "Hasn't your country already made a decision on this matter? Will it be possible to recruit new soldiers in this area after one year?"

"If Prime Minister Wu allows our Supervisory Yuan to intervene in this spy investigation, I can convince the King of Han of our country to allow your country to recruit troops in advance in the concession area!" the infantryman said calmly.

The infantry was indifferent, but Wu Qi's reaction was fierce. According to the agreement between Wei and Han, recruitment in the concession area is not just as simple as recruiting soldiers. Han is also responsible for specific training and equipping with a full set of weapons and equipment, and The commander and senior generals of this army must be from Wei. If we start recruiting now, it means that in at most half a year, Wei will have an extra powerful army. Even if it is not as good as the Han army, it will at least be better than the Han army. The current Wei army is too strong.

"Are you telling the truth? Can you convince the King of Han to start this resolution in advance?" Wu Qi said excitedly.

"Of course, I can guarantee it!" said the infantryman, "Of course, the prerequisite is that our country's Supervisory Yuan must take the lead in investigating the spy incident this time. Prime Minister Wu, I believe you will make the best choice."

Wu Qi jumped up and said, "Infantry General, please wait here for a moment. I will go to see the king soon and report your proposal to the king. If nothing unexpected happens, I believe the king will agree." .”

"Very good. If your king agrees to this proposal, then I think our investigation of spies and your country's recruitment work during the concession period can be carried out simultaneously. I think in this way, your king will not have any doubts. Are you ready?" the infantryman added with a smile.

Wu Qi came back very quickly. In less than half an hour, he appeared in front of the two of them again, "General Bu, our King has agreed. This time, the investigation of spies will be led by your country's Supervisory Council. However, The name of our joint command must be used."

"Great!" The infantryman stood up with joy on his face, "In this way, I believe that those spies will have no way to escape. Only by catching these spies can we ensure that there will be no leaks in our subsequent military operations." Maybe, our Han army doesn’t want another tragedy like the Longmen Zhao army to happen again!”

"So, infantry general, what about the recruitment of troops in the concession?" Wu Qi asked.

"Don't worry, I will report this matter to the king immediately after I return. Mr. Wu, based on my relationship with the king, I think the king will still give me this face. Moreover, I will also report to the king. Your eldest son, Wu Bo, has been recommended to be the top general of this newly recruited army. I think it will be appointed by my king, and your king will definitely give this honor, right?"

Wu Qi was overjoyed. As the chief minister, he could not recommend talents and avoid relatives. But if he was appointed by King Gaoyuan of Han Dynasty, there would be no such problem. If his son took control of this new army, his status would be even more secure. .

The infantrymen and Zhou Changshou left Wu Qi's place and left. Zhou Changshou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Do you really agree that Wei will recruit troops in advance in the concession area?"

"Of course!" the infantryman laughed.

"Isn't this a high price?" Zhou Changshou asked.

"Big?" the infantryman laughed, "In our opinion, we have taken a big advantage. Since recruiting troops in the concession area has been decided long ago, it doesn't matter whether it is sooner or later. If we can use this time to exchange for more troops, If you make big profits, you will make big profits.”

Zhou Changshou looked at the infantry with some confusion.

"General Zhou, you are a pure military general. You are not familiar with some things. Otherwise, you would not have been tricked by Zhao Qi step by step to where you are today. But now you can be considered a member of our Han Kingdom. So you can also know some things. When we originally set this one-year recruitment period, we were laying the groundwork for our further intervention in the Wei Dynasty. In other words, when we set this time, we were Prepare to use him in exchange for today's deal." The infantryman said easily, but Zhou Changshou was dumbfounded.

"Investigate spies! Haha, is it really that simple to investigate spies? When our Supervisory Yuan intervenes, anyone can become a spy. The power of this investigation team will also be enhanced by the strength of our Han army and Wu Qi's support. "It's very big, General Zhou, do you realize the mystery of this?" the infantryman said meaningfully.

Zhou Changshou thought for a moment, then his face changed slightly, "In other words, this investigation team can definitely turn white into evil and take down people who are displeased by you Han country in one fell swoop."

"It should be said that we are the Han State!" The infantryman smiled at Gu Zhou Changshou: "Not only that, with this investigation power, we can obtain many things that we usually cannot know, and then use these things to blackmail more Wei officials. We will work hard to evacuate the Wei court step by step."

"But this way, the real spy will be let go." Zhou Changshou shook his head.

"The real spies have been under our surveillance for a long time. When we need them, they can send out the intelligence we want. When we don't need them, they are useless." The infantryman sneered, "They , was never the point.”

Listening to the words of the infantry, Zhou Changshou couldn't help but shudder. The depth and far-reaching planning of the Han people made people shudder. When they were doing something, they had already quietly set up one ring after another. Create interlocking traps, and then guide your opponent to step into them step by step. Once you step into the first one, you will involuntarily step into the subsequent traps one after another until there is no escape.

"General Bu, was the sacrifice of Longmen Zhao Jun already part of your plan?" Zhou Changshou's voice was a little dry.

"Yes!" the infantryman said calmly: "This is the cause of this incident. He must start it in order to get a series of rewards later. General Zhou, I know you feel uncomfortable, because after all, he is your comrade." But if we want to finally defeat the people of Qin, Zhao, and Chu, and unify the Central Plains, this is the price that must be paid. The process of success is always full of hardships and sacrifices. If one day, sacrifices must be made in order to achieve this goal When my time comes, I will give my life without hesitation."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, General Zhou, you come from a good background. Unlike me, I came from a humble background and suffered a lot since childhood. Even a full meal is a luxury. But what the governor has brought us is another world. You will If you have the opportunity to go to Han, you can go and take a look. In our country, the sufferings I once encountered are basically invisible now. Or we can’t make everyone have enough food and clothing, but we are on the way. On this road."

Zhou Changshou looked sideways at the infantrymen beside him. At this moment, he saw a look of compassion on the infantrymen, which surprised him.

"Many of our Han army generals and officials came from poor backgrounds. Our biggest hope at the beginning was that we could escape that tragic fate. But since we followed the governor, we have made great efforts to change the tragic fate of the vast majority of people. The mission of our own existence, this is the change brought to us by the governor. It is difficult for you to imagine how we have spent these years. Outside, we only saw the original Fufeng Army, later the Eastern Expedition Army, and now the Han Army on the battlefield. We have almost won every battle, but we never thought about the difficulties we have experienced. But it is precisely because of these difficulties that we have become stronger. Are the Qin people strong? No, in our opinion, they are not strong. As the king said, the national policies of the Qin people are nothing but fish in the lake. In a short period of time, they will indeed become extremely powerful because of these national policies, and it will be difficult for them to meet an opponent. But when they encounter someone who can defeat them in the military After joining a country that competes with them, their nightmare will begin. Because the war is always a big economic competition to the end, and at this point, they are far from being able to compare with us. They can concentrate in a short period of time. The strength of the whole country launches a war, but we have the tenacity and greater potential. In three to five years, you will see the reversal of the national strength of both sides. This is why we have been trying our best to avoid a war with the Qin army. , not because we are afraid of them, but because we are quietly waiting for that moment to arrive."

The infantryman raised his hands, as if to embrace the entire sky, "When that day comes, it will be the time for us to compete with the Qin people for the world. General Zhou, your choice to join us is the most correct choice you have made in your life. You will see a brand new country taking shape and growing under this world." (To be continued)
