Chapter 841: The Temptation from the Fence-Sitter
However, no matter how much suppression there is, who doesn’t have a dream of unification?
Having said that, the person recognized by the Han Dynasty as the biggest militarist was actually Guo Hao, but he always acted like a pacifist.
However, since Guo Hao came to power, he has fought wars in the south and the north, and destroyed countless countries and tribes, large and small, even the Huns. This is also the reason why Guo Hao is very prestigious within the Han Dynasty.
There is no other meaning, it’s just about winning more and achieving victory.
As long as you win enough, even if you have ten thousand shortcomings, they will be automatically beautified in people's eyes.
…
"clang!"
Sparks burst out from the collision in the air. Hattori Hanzo emerged from the shadows with a look of horror and dived into the void, looking at the black-robed man who appeared in front of him.
"Isn't it said to be light and shadow manipulation? Why does it feel a bit like an illusion?"
Wang Yue frowned and looked in the direction of Hattori Hanzo. From his perspective, there was no one on the opposite side, but the sword that he had attached this divine thought to had indeed hit something.
However, he has a unique way to lock onto the enemy, so even if he can't see Hattori Hanzo, he can still fight with Hattori Hanzo.
"No wonder Wen Hou said that he was careless at the time and didn't notice the traces. It is indeed a strange secret technique."
Wang Yue flicked the sword in his hand, not paying any attention to Hattori Hanzo's actions.
"I say, it's about time you show up. Aren't you the ones we want to talk about?" Wang Yue had a smile on his face. With the support of a powerful empire, he was so unscrupulous.
"May I know your name?" Hattori Hanzo appeared from thin air. Just as Wang Yue said, now it is they who need help from the Han Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty who needs help from them.
"Wang Yue, the chivalrous marquis of the Han Dynasty!"
Wang Yue proudly reported his name. He once only wanted to be an official, but now he has been granted a title of marquis. Although it is a nominal title, it is still a marquisate, which reflects his achievements on the battlefield and in the army over the years.
Hattori Hanzo was stunned, but he also reacted. Their ninjas had mastered a lot of information from the spy reports, and Wang Yue’s chivalrous lord was one of the information.
After all, among the group of folk knights, Wang Yue is a very reputable figure.
Wang Yue’s official position and title were actually nothing, but they all knew from their intelligence that Wang Yue usually served as a bodyguard of three people at the top of the Han Dynasty’s power, representing not only himself, but also the authority of the Han Empire.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Hattori Hanzo bowed respectfully and greeted.
It was Wang Yue's turn to be stunned. The other party even dared to chop Wen Hou, so how could he be so respectful to him?
But in a blink of an eye, Wang Yue guessed the reason.
"Tell me your conditions!"
Wang Yue thought about it and decided to go with the flow and directly ask these people about their plans. Zhou Yu had already made it very clear before, and he didn't want to create any unnecessary trouble. He originally just wanted to take a peek at the secret art of light and shadow, but he didn't expect to get some unexpected gains.
Hattori Hanzo took out a scroll and threw it to Wang Yue from a distance, fearing that it would cause Wang Yue's dissatisfaction.
"As long as you don't come to the Han camp, the Han will give you time to show your abilities!" After leaving Zhou Yu's instructions, Wang Yue disappeared on the spot.
Hattori Hanzo sighed imperceptibly, then paused and disappeared from the spot.
The Han Dynasty wanted to watch, so they could only put on a performance with all their might.
When Wang Yue returned to the camp, Zhou Yu was surprised. "Why did you come back so soon?"
"I met the man that Wen Hou mentioned, and he gave me this." Wang Yue spread out the scroll he had carefully examined on the table, then motioned Zhou Yu to come and look.
"Haha! Wishful thinking!" Zhou Yu sneered and snapped his fingers, and the scroll was engulfed by flames.
"Hmm?" Wang Yue expressed his confusion. "I don't think there is any problem. Why do you say that?"
"Master Wang, their hearts are not sincere enough. As for the more complicated things, I can't explain them to you in a short time!"
Zhou Yu sighed. What can I say? Different fields have different worlds. It would take a lot of effort to make Wang Yue understand this.
After seeing Wang Yue off, Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun, who also had a confused look in his eyes, and sighed.
"General Zhao, you don't understand either?" Zhou Yu once regarded Zhao Yun as one of his advisers, but as their contact deepened, Zhou Yu silently kicked Zhao Yun out of the ranks of advisers in his heart.
The reason why Zhao Yun's place of origin as a civil official was not disclosed was mainly because Zhao Yun's agricultural attainments were indeed profound, and the officials in the Government Affairs Office counted on Zhao Yun to help with accounting and sharing of work every year.
If Zhao Yun really gives up on himself, who will take care of the extra workload?
Zhou Yu didn't want to take over this mess, so he simply explained it to Zhao Yun.
"Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with their conditions. They are very humble and may even exceed our expectations." Zhou Yu tried his best to explain the matter to Zhao Yun using his experience of getting along with Sun Ce.
Zhao Yun was even more confused. Since it was better than they had originally expected, why did Zhou Yu still have this attitude?
"Alas, Zilong, there is nothing wrong with their conditions, but the fact that they put forward these conditions is problematic. What qualifications do they have to put forward these conditions?" Zhou Yu sighed and continued to explain.
"We accepted this condition, which means they still have their own identity . This may seem insignificant, but in the long run, this is what the Japanese fought for themselves, not what we, the Han Dynasty, gave them."
"Sooner or later, they will blur the line between what the Han Dynasty gave them and what they fought for, and then confuse right and wrong, laying the seeds of disaster for the future!"
Zhao Yun was shocked. How could your hearts be so dirty? Who can see through this?
"Our goal is to conquer completely. Himiko is just a tool we use to appease the people. It does not mean that they are independent individuals. We do not allow any doubt about who is the master and who is the follower. "
Seeing Zhao Yun's confused look, Zhou Yu continued.
In fact, there are many more complicated things, but Zhou Yu knew from Zhao Yun's expression that this was the limit of Zhao Yun's understanding. If it were another counselor, a counter- plan , but Zhao Yun was still trying to understand it.
"Alas, Zilong can't be a counselor after all!" Zhou Yu sighed inwardly, but he didn't care. Zhao Yun's development as a military commander was obvious to all, and he couldn't ask too much of Zhao Yun as a counselor.
"General Zhao, get ready. Lead a troop to attack in an hour. Since they are not sincere, we need to keep trying to stop them!"
Zhou Yu said calmly that they could actually lead troops out to counterattack from the beginning.
However, things that are too easy to obtain will never be cherished. Only after experiencing hardship and torture can these Japanese people understand the meaning of the savior of the Han Dynasty.
