Chapter 67: Resolute and Resolute

General Huan Chang was assassinated, and the entire Shangqiu City was shocked. Duke Song was even more furious and sent a large number of personnel to investigate and instruct the assassin.

Not only that, there were many armed soldiers walking by the streets, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces.

In Huan Mansion, Huan Chang looked carefully at the letter in his hand and suddenly sighed deeply.

There were two letters in front of him, one of which was signed by Fang Li, while the other was signed by Han Shaoyun.

Since Huan Chang decided to become an official in the State of Song, he remembered the talented Ji Bo, Fang Li and Han Shaoyun.

The three of them entered Qin one after another, but because they were too far apart, Huan Chang did not receive any news about the three of them.

With a try-out mentality, Huan Chang still wrote a few letters and sent them to Qin through official channels, hoping to contact the three of them.

Huan Chang still had a small expectation in his heart, that is, if the three of them were not valued in Qin, they would invite them to come to Song to become officials.

Once upon a time, Huan Chang could not promise the three of them, but with Huan Chang's current power and his status in the mind of Song Gong, he could give the three of them a very bright future.

Huan Chang was confident enough that as long as the three of them were willing to come to Song State to help him reform and with the strong support of Song Duke, Song State would sooner or later restore the prosperity of the Xiang Duke period.

After waiting for a few months, Huan Chang finally got a reply, but the content of the letter made him mixed.

After Ji Bo and Fang Li entered Qin, they quickly gained the honor of the King of Qin with their own talents.

The King of Qin was a talented man with a broad mind, good at employing people, and was eager to strengthen the Qin State. After meeting the two, he talked to them for five days and five nights, and then began to promote them out of order.

Just a year and a half ago, the King of Qin had already agreed on reform matters with the two, and opposed the opinions of the people and appointed Ji Bo as the Zuo Shu-Chief, in charge of internal affairs, and presided over the reform matters of Qin State.

Fang Li was also respected by the King of Qin and appointed him as the Minister of the Supreme Court, responsible for giving advice, and presided over the diplomacy of Qin.

During this period, the Qin State broke out many wars with the Western Regions. After Han Shaoyun entered Qin, he joined the army and soon made his mark, and became an important general in the army.

The King of Qin used Han Shaoyun as his general and defeated the Western Regions with few defeats and more.

Not only that, Fang Li also brought gold and silver and beautiful women, with her perfect tongue, wandered among the countries in the Western Regions, provoking conflicts between the countries in the Western Regions.

Just when the countries in the Western Regions were getting intimidated, Fang Li persuaded the King of Qin to ced the territory of the two nearby countries and then signed a non-aggression treaty.

The Qin people were fierce and fierce. In the past, even if the war continued, they would not cede a city or a pond.

After hearing Fang Li's suggestion, all the ministers of Qin were furious and wrote letters to impeach Fang Li.

However, Fang Li argued with reason and said to the King of Qin: The reason why the countries in the Western Regions fought with our Qin State was because they were afraid of our Qin people's bravery, so they wanted to destroy our Qin State.

As long as Qin State pretends to surrender to the countries in the Western Regions, the other party will definitely think that the Qin people have been bent and have lost their blood and energy from now on, and it will no longer be a problem. In addition, the conflicts between the countries in the Western Regions are becoming increasingly fierce, so we only need to symbolically ced some territory to sign a peace treaty with the countries in the Western Regions.

Without the worries of the Qin people, with my perfect tongue, I will definitely be able to provoke wars between the countries in the Western Regions, leaving the countries in the Western Regions no longer having time to look east.

What Qin lacks now is stable development space and time. As long as the new law can be completely promoted, no one in the Qin State will be able to underestimate it in ten years!

Fang Li's words moved Ji Bo and the King of Qin, which led to the fact that Qin State ceded territory and sought peace.

As expected, as Fang Li expected, the Western Regions countries, who were originally very afraid of, saw that the Qin people took the initiative to cede territory and seek peace and acted in a humble manner, immediately happily signed a non-aggression treaty with Qin.

Of course, the treaty was signed so quickly, which was inseparable from Han Shaoyun's repeated defeats to the Western Regions countries, and Fang Li, with his perfect tongue, was inextricably linked to sow discord among the Western Regions countries.

In any case, Qin State temporarily bowed its head and obtained enough time to develop, and from then on, it can reform with peace of mind.

Afterwards, Fang Li once again wandered among the countries in the Western Regions, began to fan the flames and provoke the disagreement, and finally broke out between the countries in the Western Regions that signed a peace treaty with Qin.

In the short term, the countries in the Western Regions will no longer be able to advance eastward.

"The King of Qin had Brother Ji Bo presided over the reform, Brother Fang Li gave advice and was responsible for diplomacy, and Brother Han led his troops to conquer all sides, and was supplemented by the Qin people's tough and fearless personality. In time, how could Qin not be strong?"

At this time, Huan Chang suddenly felt a little regretful, not knowing whether he supported Fang Li and Han Shaoyun's entry into Qin was good or bad.

"Since the three brothers have a good home and can quietly display their talents, I should be happy for them."

To curb his emotions, Huan Chang remembered the news sent by the shadow again. He knew that Qi, Zhao, Han, Chu, and Wei were all reforming, and immediately felt a strong sense of urgency.

"This is a time of great struggle. If the State of Song cannot move forward bravely, it will sooner or later be eliminated by the times."

Thinking of this, a murderous aura flashed in Huan Chang's eyes, and then shouted loudly to the outside of the door: "Get Shadow and Liu Sandao, don't say, Wu Jing and the other four are invited, I have something to discuss!"

Not long after, the four of them came to Huan Chang's study one after another. Looking at the serious face of their lord, they had some guesses in their hearts.

"Since I was assassinated, the implementation of the new law has immediately encountered huge resistance."

"Shadow, have those nobles who lead the opposition to the new law, and those who are both selves, explored it clearly?"

Shadow immediately stepped forward and replied: "There are many nobles who oppose the new law, and the five most important ones have been investigated clearly by subordinates."

"As for the generals with two hearts, although their subordinates cannot provide conclusive evidence, they can already determine who they were. They sent someone to assassinate the lord."

Some people assassinate Huan Chang in the street, and their purpose is self-evident.

Even though the assassination failed, these people sent a clear signal to Huan Chang and the officials and people of Shangqiu, that is, some people were determined to obstruct the implementation of the new law.

After this incident, the nobles and powerful men who had maintained a wait-and-see attitude immediately did not hesitate anymore and began to work together to resist the implementation of the new law.

Huan Chang has been tolerating for more than two months. If he doesn't do anything again, this reform will definitely be dead.

"Since we can determine which generals are ill-behaved, it's okay even if there is no conclusive evidence."

"Tell me the order, and today I will invite those generals to the banquet."

Huan Chang's eyes flashed with cold light. He had decided to eliminate these generals with decisive actions. Otherwise, if he delayed like this, he would likely cause a rebellion.
