After hearing Wang He's praise, Luzi smiled and shook his head. Heaven has favored Great Qin, allowing many coincidences to unfold. If separation must lead to unity, then it is time for our Huaxia to achieve unification!
"It is not that the heavens favor me, but that they favor the Great Qin Kingdom. This is a blessing for My King and a blessing for the Qin Army!"
"Indeed! What Luzi says is true!" Wang He agreed. "Since we bear the mission of Heavenly Will, we must do our utmost to fulfill this historical duty! It is only unfortunate for you young ones, who must choose sacrifice for the peace of future generations."
Peace! It has always been achieved through the means of war! Due to personal biases and missions, differing beliefs and ideals inevitably arise. If these so-called beliefs lead to national division, there will be many excuses for those with ulterior motives to exploit.
When contradictions are intensified, the only outcome can be war! Who suffers? Of course, it is the common people who should have no connection to personal desires and disputes! Regardless of whether the outcome is victory or defeat, the beneficiaries will always be those with ulterior motives!
The only foundation for allowing the common people to live well is to completely unify the nation! Only in this way can we ensure that there will be no more wars from now on! And only in this way can those with ulterior motives be limited by their internal conflicts, thereby minimizing the possibility of involving the common people.
As for everything else, it pales in comparison. For the common people, as long as there is no war, a happy life will soon be within reach! This is what the talented individuals of China strive for, rather than standing by and watching as the happiness of the people is torn apart.
"We do not exist for personal glory or shame; even if we leave behind a bad reputation, it matters not. If sacrifice can bring about everlasting peace, then all our efforts will be worthwhile!"
Wang He nodded heavily and suddenly said, "If the old man could think this way too, it would be a blessing for all living beings!"
This statement could not be followed up on; Luzi merely nodded without speaking. It was not that he did not trust Old General, but continuing down this path could seem somewhat rebellious. Xiao Yu'er had repeatedly urged him to ensure that Old General took more rest when she left earlier. If his health improved well enough, this illness could be eradicated and would not recur.
At this moment, seeing Old General's enthusiasm waning and beginning to look drowsy, Luzi changed the subject and spoke about some unrelated matters to wrap things up. Then he stood up to take his leave from the main tent.
The three-day deadline agreed upon with Commander was still in effect; regardless of whether Luzi could produce results or not, the Qin Army would launch another attack. Time was pressing, and Luzi dared not delay further. Returning to the main tent, he informed his brothers to come and assign tasks. As tasks were assigned one by one, those receiving orders hurriedly departed. At this moment, only Meng Wu, Wang Jian, Li Xin, Sun Thirteen, and Xiao Yu'er remained in the tent.
Luzi opened the map to check the location of Pinglu County Town marked by Above. After confirming the itinerary and distance, he said, "The Master Engineer and the accompanying workers should not have arrived at Pinglu County Town yet. Sun Thirteen, you can hurry over there to meet with Lu Chu. Tell her that we urgently need craftsmen at the front line, a large number of craftsmen! Even those who know a little will do!"
"Understood!" Sun Thirteen acknowledged, nodding to everyone before leaving, striving to catch up with the craftsmen's team that was preparing to return home as quickly as possible.
After Sun Thirteen had been gone for quite a while, Luzi had no further tasks to assign, leaving the remaining enthusiastic personnel feeling somewhat deflated. It seemed everyone else had something to do while he was left idle.
Meng Wu exchanged glances with Wang Jian, signaling him to speak with Luzi, who was focused on the map. There always needed to be an attitude; they couldn't just sit around brooding!
Since Meng Wu was older than Wang Jian, Wang Jian waited for his senior to speak. Seeing that Meng Wu had no intention of taking on the role of the bad guy, he approached the table to look at the map as well.
Hearing the commotion, Luzi turned and saw Wang Jian. He realized he had been lost in thought for quite some time and called everyone over. Pointing to a certain location on the Dan River Basin on the map, he said, "This spot has the widest river surface and relatively gentle water flow. We will commence our operation tonight at midnight and cross the Dan Shui River!"
Upon hearing that they were going into the river in the middle of winter, those gathered around the table exchanged puzzled looks. In recent days, even the main forces of the Qin Army could not cross the river under such strong protection from the Arrow Formation. That was a large-scale crossing operation where at least their targets were not concentrated.
Among them, Meng Wu being the eldest felt compelled to speak up. "General! The Zhao Army has set up Defensive Formations along the river, and their night patrols are constant. With just our small boat crossing over, we would be too conspicuous! Even if we don't get smashed into pieces by big rocks, we'll be shot full of arrows like a hedgehog!"
Luzi's companions nodded in agreement, curiously asking, "Who said anything about using a boat to cross?"
Hearing that they were expected to swim across in winter made everyone exchange glances in disbelief. The riverbed was already showing signs of freezing; even if they could swim across, they wouldn't dare come ashore. Soaking wet and then hit by a chilly breeze would freeze them instantly.
Luzi only requested that the Army rest in place for three days without revealing what he intended to do. After all, the remaining tasks were his responsibility, so there was no need to elaborate to Commander about broader strategies. Stretching his arms, he voiced their earlier speculation about crossing the river.
"We won't need a boat tonight; we'll swim across directly!"
Li Xin heard Brother say he was going to lead everyone to commit suicide and quickly asked, "Is the Application Arrow Formation providing cover?"
Luzi looked at the eager expressions and suddenly came up with a plan. Each Sovereign, in order to ensure absolute control over their armies, had completely disconnected the current Retainers from the military. The reason the Qin State did not have Retainers was that all the Retainers were under the command of King Qin.
If a portion of the warriors among the Retainers could be separated and assigned to various units, it would be possible to form a strike force with rapid and covert capabilities. This special team, endowed with unique abilities, could accomplish tasks that large forces found difficult.
However, forming this unit required the approval of King Qin, as it involved military authority. Any misstep could be misconstrued as an attempt to infiltrate the army. If King Qin suspected ulterior motives, future endeavors would be jeopardized.
It seemed that careful consideration was necessary! Once back in the capital, I would find a way to suggest to the old man that we continue developing the Special Forces Unit initially established by Meng Wu. If I could persuade him successfully, it would be beneficial for the military without any drawbacks!
But now was not the time to think about this; the immediate priority was to find a way to resolve the complications of crossing the river for combat. Therefore, I might as well use this special operation to set a good precedent for the future establishment of the Qin Army's Special Forces Unit!
