Chapter 273 Wu Sui, Wang Yi
Since the strange phenomenon, there has been no longer any obstacle of popular support for the entire country to surrender to Qin.
For ordinary people who struggle to even have enough to eat and wear, who the rulers are or which country they belong to is not a matter of concern.
If surrendering to Qin would allow them to live a better life and have a few full meals, they wouldn't mind becoming citizens of Qin.
This was undoubtedly a great thing for Han Fei, who had already made an agreement with Ying Zheng long ago, and he no longer had any worries.
Even though Han Fei had succeeded to the throne of Han, he could not rule the country with absolute authority.
But Ji Wuye had already fallen from power, and with the full support of Madam Mingzhu and Bai Yifei, they didn't encounter any major obstacles.
Even if there are some stubborn noble forces, Wei Zhuang will speak for them with Shark Tooth.
Compared to Han Fei, who still showed some mercy, Wei Zhuang spoke directly through his actions. In just a few months, Shark Tooth had already beheaded countless people.
In the vast city of Xinzheng, for several months in a row, almost no official or nobleman dared to go out at will.
But now, it's all coming to an end.
"This day has finally come..."
This was not only what Han Fei was thinking, but even many Korean nobles and officials who had originally strongly opposed it couldn't help but feel a little hopeful at this moment.
Compared to living in constant fear of waking up to a shark-tooth comb, it would be much easier to surrender the entire country to Qin...
Even if Qin law is harsh, at worst I can be less greedy in the future, which is better than losing my life.
As the sun rises, thin clouds reflect on the blue sky, creating a clear and bright scene.
Han Fei wore a black robe and a jade crown, his face solemn and resolute; Wei Zhuang was dressed in black, his shark-tooth sword tassel wrapped with half a Chu sash, the relic of the third nobleman who had advised him last night.
Korean officials and numerous carriages had been waiting for a long time.
Bai Yifei, covered in blood, watched everything with a blank expression.
Silver armor gleams in the cold light, long spears point to the sky.
Three thousand white-armored soldiers, in perfect uniform, marched with unwavering steps, like a long silver dragon winding along the official road.
"Your Majesty, there are many spies from the surrounding countries, but none of them have taken any action..."
Although Ying Jing arrived in person, he did not appear.
With Bai Yifei's three thousand white-armored soldiers on the surface, it's enough. All we need to do is order Luo Wang to escort them in secret and remain vigilant at all times.
"Okay, keep an eye on it. As long as there's no trouble, there's no need to pay attention."
Ying Jing nodded calmly. It was inevitable that there would be many spies involved in such a big matter.
Even if South Korea is weak now, it is still one of the most powerful countries on this land.
Now that the entire nation is about to surrender to Qin without any resistance, how can this not arouse the attention and fear of other countries?
The power and ambition of the Qin state were known throughout the world. Even with the natural barrier of Hangu Pass, several attempts to form alliances against Qin ultimately ended in failure.
Without South Korea taking the lead, it seems they'll be next.
In fact, during this period, the King of Zhao, the King of Wei, and the King of Yan all wrote personal letters to Han Fei.
They openly and covertly indicated that as long as Han was willing to fight valiantly against Qin's invasion, they could provide the greatest assistance, even if it meant sending troops directly.
The State of Chu has been embroiled in internal strife over the throne, but the Iron Blood Alliance, controlled by the Noble Alliance, has also visited the State of Han. As long as Han does not simply merge into the State of Qin, an alliance can be formed to provide assistance to Han Fei.
But Han Fei refused them all.
It has nothing to do with integrity; it's just that Han Fei clearly understood the stakes involved.
What kind of help is this? It's just that they hope Han can exhaust and delay Qin's strength as much as possible.
Several attempts to form an alliance against Qin failed; instead, they were sown apart and divided. It was impossible to expect them to actually send their full troops to help Han resist Qin.
Ying Jing was never worried that Han Fei would be lured away by these sweet words and flattery.
Han Fei was a smart man, and also a very stubborn and persistent one.
Changing his mind is no easy task.
Ying Jing was able to persuade Han Fei to abandon the state of Han due to a variety of factors.
The internal corruption within Korea, the repeated failures of attempts to change it, and the constant pressure from the Qin state.
Han Fei had just left the beginner village, hadn't even bought all his equipment, and hadn't found any teammates yet, when the final boss was already in front of him.
Ying Jing made it clear to Han Fei from every angle that the state of Han was beyond saving.
Normally, given Han Fei's character, even if he knew he would fail, he would not give up; dying for his country would be his only way out.
However, Han Yu's act of assassinating Lord Changxin despite knowing he would die made Han Fei realize the consequences of his actions.
National and personal grievances will only lead to endless conflict and casualties...
That was never what Han Fei wanted!
In fact, Han Fei never opposed the unification of the world; this was his own wish.
His choice of South Korea was not only because he was a prince of South Korea, but also because he was trying to fight against fate.
To strengthen Korea through reform, and then to unify the world through law, ending this world of war and allowing all people to truly live a peaceful life.
Counting the evidence reveals wrongdoing; using punishment to deter further punishment—the laws of Heaven and Earth must be enforced without fail!
Han Fei's original intention was to reform and strengthen the state of Han, and to govern the world with the rule of law.
Now that he is truly sitting on the throne of King Han, Han Fei is even more able to see things clearly.
Even without the imposing Qin state looming over him, and with more time at his disposal, he could at most achieve reforms to strengthen Han, but he could not become the swordsman who ruled the world with the law.
If that's the case, it wouldn't be so bad to simply be a swordsmith and hand over the sword to someone else to wield.
If your heart is in a deep well, the sky you see will become small.
A frog at the bottom of a well, though it can see the moon in the sky and know autumn from a single leaf, is destined to never see the vastness of the world or the splendor of the four seasons.
Beyond the limitations of one country, no longer confined to the corner of South Korea, returning to our true selves, and establishing ourselves in the world.
Han Fei's "law" truly reached its zenith!
"Ahead lies Wusui..."
At the border between Qin and Han, a Qin elite army was stationed in the Wusui camp.
Logically speaking, we should be safe by now.
Even if other countries have some objections to Korea's entry into Qin, they are on the verge of taking action.
But at this moment, Ying Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Take my jade pendant and go ahead to find a centurion named Meng Tian."
Zhen Gang accepted the jade pendant and, without uttering any unnecessary words, respectfully replied, "Yes!"
If Ying Jing hadn't suddenly remembered that there was a problem with Wu Sui, he wouldn't have come in person.
In fact, both Ying Zheng and Ying Jing believed that they would not encounter any dangers along the way, since other countries were full of internal conflicts and had no intention of taking such risks.
However, while Ying Jing was paying attention to Han Fei's route, he suddenly noticed that the garrison commander of Wusui was somewhat unusual.
Wang Yi was formerly the deputy general of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an.
Historically, he should have died long ago, but in this world he is still alive and well, holding the official position of Left Vice Minister and commanding a large army to guard the Wusui border.
On the surface, he appears to be a loyal and devoted veteran.
In fact, he had long harbored resentment towards the Qin state because of the death of Lord Wu'an in the past.
If he wanted to take revenge on the Qin state, now was the perfect opportunity!
