"The power of these people in the army is indeed limited, but with Xiang Yan's plan, this power is extremely terrifying.”Seeing that everyone cast puzzled gazes at Ji Yun, yet Ji Yun had no intention of speaking, Wang Jian knew that Ji Yun wanted him to explain to the generals. This was to cover up his carelessness and neglect of this factor, to preserve his face and prestige.
Regarding this, Wang Jian was endlessly emotional in his heart. Normally, he wouldn't hide it like this, but he had to do it now. Looking at the fifteen-year-old youth beside him, Wang Jian once again marveled at Ji Yun's intelligence in his heart. It was also the first time he had the thought that he was already old.
"If these people fight their own battles in the army, they will be unable to escape death if they get entangled with the soldiers. But what if they formed groups of three to five, avoiding the ordinary soldiers and only targeting the sergeants, ten-man commanders, and centurions? "If that happens, our army will definitely fall into chaos. At that time, I'm afraid the losses will be immeasurable!”
"Hiss…" As Wang Jian's words fell, a wave of gasps sounded out in the tent.
This move was vicious, but the effect was not small. It would be difficult for these martial artists to get away from so many soldiers, but if they deliberately launched a targeted assassination on the generals during the chaotic battle between the two armies, it would really be difficult to guard against. If something happened to the generals and the command was in chaos, the outcome of this war would be a complete defeat. With this, Xiang Yan's goal of inflicting heavy losses on the Qin army was achieved.
"Many disciples of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy have gathered in Camp Chu, but these people are unruly and act on impulse. They weren't under the control of others at all, and had brought quite a bit of chaos to Camp Chu during this period of time. It would be difficult for Xiang Yan to order them around, right?”Li Xin quickly grasped the key point: "The Hundred Schools of Philosophy aren't fools. Would they let Xiang Yan use them like this? Moreover, Xiang Yan treated them as…The Hundred Schools of Philosophers would not let him off if this news spread.”
All the generals nodded in agreement with Li Xin's point of view. " These Hundred Schools of Philosophy are all against the unification of Qin," Wang Jian explained." Xiang Yan also understands this. Therefore, he would not force them to do so. As long as he mentioned it, these people would agree. As for the fury of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, it would probably be Xiang Yan's strongest trump card!”
A fierce light flashed in Wang Jian's eyes. Clearly, he was rather furious that Xiang Yan played this vicious move.
"As long as these Hundred Schools of Philosophy disciples enter the battlefield, we will definitely kill them. "Then, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy will probably come to us for revenge. If Xiang Yan adds fuel to the fire, our army will be in an extremely passive and dangerous situation. Your Majesty's efforts to unify the six countries will also be affected.”
Hearing Wang Jian's explanation, the generals could not help but look at each other. They had never expected that the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, which they had always neglected, would have such a huge impact. He felt some lingering fear and some doubt.
Wang Jian saw everyone's expressions and knew that there were quite a number of people who somewhat doubted the credibility of these words. However, he did not explain further. Moreover, he did not know much about this aspect, so his explanation was not convincing. And there was only one person who was the most convincing, Ji Yun. Wang Jian knew that Ji Yun could also see through everyone's doubts and also knew that he would come out to explain. This was the trust and tacit understanding that he had established with Ji Yun after spending half a year together. Ji Yun naturally wouldn't let down this trust and tacit understanding. He said to everyone,""The Hundred Schools of Philosophers is a very powerful force. They aren't weaker than the Six Nations, and objectively speaking, they are even stronger than the Seven Nations!”
The moment he opened his mouth, Ji Yun gave everyone a thunderous shock. Everyone, including Wang Jian, was speechless and doubtful. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy were still this strong?
Ji Yun didn't wait for them to post and said directly,""Let's not talk about the Hundred Schools of Philosophy anymore. I'm sure everyone knows how powerful they are.”
" Yes." Everyone nodded. Ji Yun continued," The Hundred Schools of Philosophy seem to be getting weaker and weaker, but it's actually the opposite. Firstly, the world had changed from the initial vassals to the seven kingdoms. The strength of the country had become strong, so they felt that the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were weak. The second reason was that the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had been fighting for the orthodoxy, and they had even gradually split up among themselves. They had become a pile of loose sand, and their strength had naturally weakened.”
Ji Yun grabbed a handful of sand from the sand table. A white light flashed in his hand, and when he released it, the sand had already turned into a white-wrapped stone, or rather, an ice cube.
"Putting aside the militarists, after hundreds of years of development, the influence of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy on the world can be said to be deeply rooted. For example, the influence of the Mohist School extended from the lives of the common people to the bows and crossbows of the army. Confucianism was the home of all scholars, and its culture influenced the imperial courts and clans of various countries. Putting aside the two great schools of learning, the seemingly inconspicuous but actually the most hidden farmer, the miscellaneous school that gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools, and the strategist that could cause chaos in the world with just two people…these were not to be underestimated.”
Ji Yun casually threw out a white ice block, which smashed into a city made of sand and soil, causing it to collapse. "The scattered Hundred Schools of Philosophy are not worth mentioning, but if these forces gather together, they will be enough to resist the State of Qin!”
The generals were in an uproar and found it hard to believe. However, they realized that what he said was true, and they all agreed with him. The only thing was, who had the ability to gather the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and unify them?
Ji Yun could naturally guess what the generals were thinking. He only spat out four words,""Jixia Learning Palace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and their expressions changed.
Jixia Learning Palace, which had once housed almost all the schools of thought of the time, was a terrifying existence that had gathered thousands of people and almost all the famous scholars in the world. The " Hundred Schools of Thought Contend " was the most realistic embodiment of this, and it had once become the center of all the schools of thought at that time. Not only did it have an important political nature, but it also had a supreme status and unparalleled influence in the world of academia.
Although Jixia Learning Palace had gradually lost its value with the decay of the Kingdom of Qi, its influence was still huge. Now that the State of Qi had not been destroyed, and with the addition of the many famous people who had once been in Jixia Learning Palace, especially Xunzi of the Mohist school, this academic master who had once served as the school's "Chancellor"(the school's head) three times still existed in the world. If these people stood out, or if someone used their reputation to make a name for themselves, it was not impossible for the Hundred Schools of Philosophy to unite and resist the Qin Dynasty.
"It seems that we have to solve this unstable hidden danger first!”Wang Jian took a deep breath and calmed the intense fluctuation in his heart as he slowly spoke. His voice was low and filled with killing intent.
Everyone nodded. After Ji Yun's analysis, they no longer felt disdain for the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.
"Leave this matter to me.”Ji Yun smiled helplessly." Speaking of which, I'm the main reason why the Hundred Schools of Philosophers gathered here.”
"What is it? Solo?" The tent instantly exploded.
Although what Ji Yun said was the truth, and the main reason why things had developed to this state was because of Ji Yun, none of the generals had any intention of blaming him. According to Ji Yun's analysis, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy would become a huge threat to Great Qin sooner or later. It was a good thing that they realized this as soon as possible.
Now that Ji Yun wanted to solve this matter alone, the generals naturally objected. Although they admired Ji Yun in all aspects, this matter was definitely not something that could be solved by one person. Even if the five Yinyang School members were added, it was impossible. Besides, this was a matter between Qin and Chu's armies. They couldn't bear to let Ji Yun handle it alone.
Wang Jian's right hand pressed on the air, and the large tent instantly quieted down.
Tianlan, what do you plan to do?"
"Hehe, I didn't say I'd go alone. I'm only fifteen, and I still have a lot of time left. How can I die like this?”Ji Yun laughed at first, then his expression turned serious and he said,""Since the Hundred Schools of Philosophers are coming for me, I'll ask them out and get them to withdraw from this war. I'll bring Great Si Ming and the other five, and I'll need to borrow some people from General Shang.”
"Who are they?"
"The swordsmen and the Network Deathsworn of the generals.”
Wang Jian directly nodded, indicating his agreement. "The number of people is still relatively small. I'll temporarily lend you the Black Ice Secret Guard."”
The expressions of the generals changed, and their lips moved, but in the end, they did not say anything.
Black Ice Secret Guard. Ji Yun's heart was burning with excitement when he heard that. He was about to agree, but he instantly rejected this tempting idea. The Black Ice Secret Guards were not only the last line of defense to protect the generals, but also the reliance of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, to control and monitor the entire army. Moreover, the Black Ice Platform was the biggest and most mysterious trump card of the previous Qin kings. It was an organization that absolutely did not allow others to touch. Although he was only going to fight against the Hundred Schools of Philosophy with him, he was afraid that Ying Zheng would be very dissatisfied with him, and Wang Jian might even be punished.
"You mustn't. I brought the swordsmen with me. The Black Ice Secret Guards are the generals 'last line of defense. The general's safety must be guaranteed. Moreover, with the help of the swordsmen and the Network Deathsworn, I'm confident.”"Yes, I am. Then when are you planning to do it?" Hearing Ji Yun's rejection, Wang Jian did not force him. He did not have the authority to mobilize the Black Ice Platform.
"The sooner the better. I have received news that the Mo Family's giant is bringing almost all the higher-ups of the Mo Family here. We have to solve this problem before the Mo Family arrives.”Ji Yun replied.
"Yes, I am. I'll arrange it immediately." Wang Jian turned to look at Meng Tian.”
"Yes!" Meng Tian cupped her fists and replied loudly.
"Go to the rear of the army immediately and ask General Meng Wu to gather the swordsmen. You will bring back the Network Deathsworn.”
"Yes." Meng Tian accepted the order and walked out of the tent.
"Generals, return to the camp immediately to prepare.”
All the generals received the order and left. Wang Jian looked at Ji Yun and said,"Be careful."
"I know." Ji Yun nodded, cupped his fists, and left.
