Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 409 Wu She’s lobbying and Zhang Han’s response!

At first glance, this man seemed to be afraid of Zhang Han, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was deliberately leading the topic in this direction. His intention was self-evident, he just wanted Zhang Han to realize that he was very likely to become the poor scapegoat. Sure enough, after the young general finished speaking, Zhang Han's face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if he was struck by a thunderbolt, and then he fell into a heart-pounding silence.

The reason is not complicated. Wang Li has Wang Ben's support, Li Xin has died on the battlefield, and Meng Yi has always been a staunch supporter of Fusu's ascension to the throne. With this calculation, even if they can successfully withdraw their troops back to Xianyang and successfully resolve the critical situation facing Xianyang, no matter what the outcome of the battle in the southern border is, someone will have to bear all the responsibilities. After all, Fusu is the new king, and if he wins the first war he launched, everything will be fine; but if he loses, then there must be an unlucky guy who will stand up and bear this heavy responsibility. Judging from the current situation, the person who will eventually serve as the scapegoat is most likely Zhang Han himself.

You know, for such a huge crime, the lightest punishment might cost Zhang Han his life. If it was more serious, it might not only implicate him, but the whole family might suffer a catastrophe. Thinking of this, how could Zhang Han not be terrified? How could he dare to respond easily?

"General Zhang Han, General Han Xin knows that your loyalty to the emperor and your patriotism are evident to all. In terms of vision and ability, you are the best choice. Looking at the current situation in the world, there are very few outstanding generals like you. As for whether the enfeoffment of the kings should be implemented, I believe General Zhang Han must have a clear mind. Putting this aside, just the attack on the southern border, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the surrounding princes are watching covetously and waiting for an opportunity to act. The most urgent task is to stabilize the overall situation in the world, rather than rashly sending troops to the southern border because of temporary selfish desires."

The young general paused for a moment, then continued: "How much grain and grass reserves does the court have now? How much silver and money does it have? How long can the Qin Dynasty last? General Zhang Han should know this series of questions better than anyone else. Under such circumstances, can such a court really have a bright future?" At this point, the young general was not polite and continued to list one irrefutable fact after another.

As the young general spoke earnestly, Zhang Han's originally firm resolve began to waver. His face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he stared at the young general in front of him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Zhang Han had already realized that this young general was extraordinary, and he could not help but admire him. He had a fair complexion and a gentle appearance. He did not look like a veteran general, but more like a counselor who planned and won battles thousands of miles away.

Zhang Han thought to himself that this boy was not only good at speaking, but also had no fear when talking to others, and always maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude. What was even more rare was that he was well versed in the ways of the world, knew how to judge the situation, and knew when to advance and when to retreat.

You know, those so-called upright people often only know how to stubbornly insist on their own opinions, and even refuse to lower their heads. Such behavior is definitely not the best strategy in real diplomatic occasions or in the game of power between two sides.

Because the ultimate goal of an excellent lobbyist is not simply to overwhelm the opponent in momentum, but to persuade the opponent to willingly accept the conditions and demands put forward by him. If he angers the opponent due to inappropriate words, and is expelled or even killed before he finishes speaking, then such a lobbyist is obviously extremely unqualified.

In the short confrontation just now, the performance of the young general in front of him was perfect. Facing Zhang Han's questioning and even anger, he neither lost his composure nor showed any weakness, and always responded with a calm and composed attitude. At the same time, when he noticed that Zhang Han's emotions were fluctuating, he was able to show his willingness to give in at the right time, thus avoiding further deterioration of the situation. This kind of skill of speaking with a sense of tension and relaxation, and with a reasoned advance and retreat, is not something that ordinary people can possess. Therefore, Zhang Han became more and more curious about the identity and origin of this person.

"Haha, to be honest with you, General Zhang Han, I am just a staff officer under General Han Xin, Wu She..." At this time, Kuai Tong finally gave his name. After hearing what Kuai Tong said, Zhang Han was slightly stunned. He thought carefully in his mind for a long time, but he had never heard of Kuai Tong's name.

This is also very normal. Wu She is a rising star in the true sense. He mainly came to prominence during the Chu-Han Contention. Because of a strategy, he almost changed the entire trend of the late Qin and early Han dynasties.

After the defeat in the battle in Minzhong, they finally surrendered to Xiang Yu. After some consideration, Xiang Yu finally chose to give up Kuaiji. At this time, these people from Minzhong who had just surrendered would naturally not be regarded as confidants by Xiang Yu. Kuai Tong was naturally left in Kuaiji as a pawn to delay Han Xin.

The reason why Zhuge Liang was able to debate with many scholars in Jiangdong and become a god in one battle was that the purpose of Liu Bei and Sun Quan at that time was to cooperate with each other, and the purpose of cooperation was to deal with Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang could play any role he wanted, because Zhuge Liang represented Liu Bei, and the stronger he was, the more voice he would have in this cooperation. If the armies of Sun and Liu went to war, and Zhuge Liang was asked to debate with many scholars, he would not go, because that would be dancing on the edge of a knife, and he would be courting death.

After Han Xin captured Tang Sheng, he naturally learned that the Black Armor Army suffered losses because of Wu She's scheme. Knowing that the Southern Border Army was short of capable personnel, Han Xin naturally did not kill Wu She. Instead, he recruited Wu She instead of Gao Yao.

Wu She thought to himself: If he could successfully persuade Zhang Han to surrender, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement! So, he chose to come to find Zhang Han without hesitation, because he knew that this was one of the best ways to achieve his goal, and it was also a great opportunity to fully demonstrate his talents and wisdom.

"Humph! You actually want to recruit me? You really underestimate me, Zhang Han! What if I defeated Xiang Yu? When I was on the expedition, Han Xin was still unknown. How dare you think of recruiting me? You are just dreaming!"
