Chapter 149 Lifelong Ambition
"Why was the Kingdom of Han able to continue?" Yang Chong asked again, ignoring Han Fei's anger.

"Of course it's because of South Korea's own strength. It can resist invasions from other countries." Han Fei said without hesitation.

"I don't think so. The reason why South Korea can exist is not because it is so strong, but because Qin needs it to exist." Yang Chong said.

"What makes you say that?" Han Fei asked. Yang Chong's words were constantly provoking his sensitive nerves.

"Isn't it? The reason why Qin did not destroy Han was that it was worried that if it destroyed Han, it would provoke a sense of crisis in the other five countries and avoid the incident of the five countries attacking Qi. Over the years, Qin has only nibbled away at the various countries instead of swallowing them up, and that's exactly why." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong sees the situation in this world more clearly than anyone else. It's not because he is a genius, but because he stands outside of this time and space. From this point of view, no one in this world can beat him.

“But the knowledgeable people in the six countries have already noticed this. If Qin wants to conquer one country, it will inevitably be retaliated by the other countries.” Wei Zhuang said. Compared with Han Fei’s emotions, he was calmer at this time.

"This is a different time. Now the Qin State has the power to conquer the six states with its own strength." Yang Chong said.

"Why? Qin has had its share of battles with the six kingdoms over the years. If Qin had been able to conquer the six kingdoms, it would not have been invaded by the two armies of the five kingdoms and entered Guanzhong two years ago." Zi Nu questioned.

Although the Qin State is strong at this stage, it is not invincible. In the past ten years, the Qin State has suffered many defeats. People know that the Qin State is powerful, but they do not think that the Qin State can really conquer other countries.

"It's useless to say too much. The power and operation of a country are too complicated to calculate. Let's just say a little. This way it will be much simpler." Yang Chong said.

"What?" Han Fei tried to remain as calm as possible.

"The king of the seven countries." Yang Chong said.

"The King of Seven Kingdoms?" Wei Zhuang was solemn. He thought of his senior brother's choice. What kind of person is the King of Qin that he could make his senior brother Gai Nie take the initiative to join him?

"Let's not talk about far away places, let's just talk about South Korea. Do you think the current chaos in South Korea is all because of Ji Wuye?" Yang Chong asked.

"Isn't it? Ji Wuye is extravagant and tyrannical. Without him, how could the political situation in South Korea be so chaotic?" Han Fei said without hesitation. South Korea's problem lies with Ji Wuye. Ji Wuye is the biggest cancer in South Korea. This is what he has always believed. Now everything he does is to eliminate the scourge of Ji Wuye.

"Who made Ji Wuye into this kind of person?" Yang Chong asked back.

"Who is it?" Han Fei was stunned. This was a question he had never thought about.

"Yes, Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's indulgence, if it weren't for Your Majesty's incompetence, if it weren't for Your Majesty's stupidity, would such a Ji Wuye appear?" Yang Chong was aggressive. It seemed a bit unreasonable to scold someone's father in front of his son, but Yang Chong believed that he was not scolding Han Fei's father, but stating an objective fact.

"Father, he..." Han Fei wanted to refute Yang Chong, but he could not find any reason to defend Han Wangan.

“Mr. Nine, your intention to save the Kingdom of Han is good, but your direction has been wrong from the beginning. Even if you can overthrow Ji Wuye, even if you can push Wei Zhuang to the position of general, you cannot save the Kingdom of Han. You are too bookish, and you think too simply about the court and the people.” Yang Chong looked at Han Fei with pity. Although Han Fei’s so-called saving the country seemed very naive and too idealistic to him, it was still hard to dislike a pure idealist after all.

"The path we are taking cannot save South Korea. Do you have a better way?" Han Fei asked. He is not a modest gentleman as he looks. On the contrary, he is an extremely proud man. It is precisely because of his pride that he does not take most people seriously. However, his knowledge and pride make him hide this emotion very deeply. The pride of ordinary people is superficial, but his pride is integrated into his bones.

Of course, Han Fei also had reason to be proud. Although Han State was inferior to Qin State, it was also a vassal state. As a prince of Han State, he had a noble status. He was also a disciple of Xunzi and had his own school of thought in learning. It would be strange if such a person did not have any arrogance.

Didn’t you see that not long after that, even the King of Qin began to treat him differently?

"I don't know whether my method will work or not, but I know that my method must be better than yours." Yang Chong said. Han Fei was indeed proud, but Yang Chong was no less so. His caution was only a means of doing things, and pride was his essence. Just like he did not take Han or even Qin seriously, his other memory could run through this era. What was there in this era that was worthy of shocking him?

"What do you have in mind?" Wei Zhuang spoke while Han Fei was in doubt.

"Take your behavior in Nanyang this time as an example. If I were you, I would seek the position of prefect of Nanyang County, develop production, collect grain, train troops, establish my own base, and then use the power of Nanyang to influence Xinzheng, or even remotely control Xinzheng. When the strength is sufficient, whether it is to purge the court, kill Ji Wuye, or covet the throne and replace him, they are all good choices. They are better than what you are doing now, relying on the power of women like Zi Nu, doing things in the underworld, and making a living as a killer. It seems ambitious, but it is actually just a child playing house. Ji Wuye knew how to control the army before he could become a powerful official, but you naively think that without Ji Wuye, South Korea will be different. Isn't it ridiculous." Yang Chong talked freely.

Yang Chong was not quite sure how to do it specifically, but he was very good at just bragging as he had thousands of years of experience. Han Fei was good at bragging, but if Yang Chong went all out, Han Fei would be nothing in front of him.

"You are committing treason." Han Fei's face changed. Yang Chong said it lightly, but he could hear murderous intent in it. "Wei Zhuang, do you think so too?" Yang Chong looked at Wei Zhuang.

Is Wei Zhuang, the brother of Zongheng, really loyal to the martial arts world? Yang Chong also wants to know the answer to this question.

Because he wants to see the value of Wei Zhuang. If Wei Zhuang is still focused on forming a killer organization like Liusha, then there will be no place for him in Yang Chong's future plans. If Wei Zhuang can truly show the style of a descendant of Zongheng, Yang Chong will consider pulling Wei Zhuang into his own plans.

"What you said is indeed a good idea, but will Ji Wuye sit back and watch our actions in Nanyang?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"No, but by then, you will have already established a foothold in Nanyang, and the offense and defense will have changed." Yang Chong said.

"Maybe what you said is a better way." Wei Zhuang said.

Wei Zhuang did not think that Yang Chong's idea of ​​managing Nanyang was very smart, but if he could get rid of King Han and replace him, he would be very interested. King Han An was not worthy of sitting in that position.

"You are plotting treason." Han Fei was a little overwhelmed. He learned from Wei Zhuang that Yang Chong was equated with a madman. Yang Chong was able to decisively kill Bai Yifei and stir up the whole country of Han. He also saw Yang Chong's madness, but he never thought that Yang Chong would dare to talk about clearing the emperor's side and replacing him.

"Mr. Nine, if you don't even have the courage to be the King of Han, then don't even think about saving the country of Han. You should go back to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to study. That's what you should do." Yang Chong looked at Han Fei with disdain. The Han Fei of this time and space was too exaggerated.

"You..." Han Fei's face changed color. His self-esteem was hit. The key point was that what Yang Chong said made a lot of sense. The things he was proud of were actually worthless and useless in Yang Chong's eyes. What was even more painful was that he could not refute it.

“Even if you do as I say, you can’t win. South Korea is too weak. The deficit of several generations cannot be made up by the revitalization of one generation. What’s more, although you are powerful, your opponent is not weak either. Moreover, he has much more capital than you. You can’t win.” Yang Chong ruthlessly shattered Han Fei’s ideals. Of course, Han Fei’s so-called ideals were more of fantasies in his eyes.

"The one you are talking about is the King of Qin?" Zi Nu spoke during the silence of Wei Zhuang and Han Fei.

"Of course, the Qin State has been building up its strength for six generations. That's not in vain. For more than a hundred years, the Qin State has been thriving. It would be ridiculous for you, Han Fei, to think that you can counter the six generations of Qin State with just ten years of effort." Yang Chong said.

"This is not as ridiculous as you say." Zi Nu's hand had secretly pinched Yang Chong's waist. Didn't you see that Han Fei and Wei Zhuang's faces were already as ugly as they could be?

"Since Qin is so strong, isn't your so-called plan to conquer the world a joke?" Wei Zhuang counterattacked. His psychological quality is much stronger than Han Fei's.

"How do you know I can't succeed?"

"You said that the destiny lies with Qin. Even Han couldn't stop Qin. How can you stop Qin alone?" Wei Zhuang was unwilling to admit defeat.

"Everyone is a descendant of the royal family. I am not just one of them." Yang Chong said happily.

"You want to seize the State of Qi?" Wei Zhuang said solemnly. He thought of Yang Chong's identity. He had never thought of this before because the Jiang and Lu families had lost their country for too long. But now it seems that Yang Chong might have had such a plan from the beginning.

"Why not?" Yang Chong admitted.

"What a pipe dream." Wei Zhuang sneered. Han Fei's ideal certainly contained some fantasy elements, but so did Yang Chong's.

"No, no, no, I am different from you. I have a practical plan." Yang Chong pointed at Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, then pointed at himself, and his meaning was very clear: I am not you.

"Tell me, let me see how you, Sima Yang, plan to become the King of Qi." Han Fei spoke. His true pride was aroused by Yang Chong, and he could no longer maintain his superficial gentleness and elegance.

"First, I will go to Zhao State." Yang Chong said.

"The King of Zhao can't help you." Han Fei sneered. Everyone is a proud person. How could he tolerate Yang Chong's ridicule?
