The entire nation has been liberated; where else can we retreat to? This is the Qin State, which upholds Legalism, and soldiers abandoning their posts will be held accountable! Upon hearing that Chang Yu was planning to escape, Li Xin directly informed him of some good news.
General Lu had actually been looking for someone to help him, hoping that person would take his General's Seal back home to honor his family. The soldiers in the city had already decided to fight alongside it, so he had not found a suitable candidate yet. Since you have returned now, it would be great if you could help our general with this matter!
Lu Zi started rambling again, so he had no choice but to interrupt the vague topic. The real reason he sent Chang Yu out of the city to make contact was to ensure that the Chang Family would have a descendant. Since the three brothers of the Chang Family crossed the Dan Shui River with the Special Operations Group, there had already been casualties during their operation to destroy the Zhao Army's Catapult command center.
At that time, only Chang Yu remained from the three brothers who had accompanied the team. Lu Zi did not want the last one fighting for the defense of Wild King City to die in battle; this was also a way to fulfill a promise made to the Chang Family. Unexpectedly, Chang Yu worried about the situation in the city and sneaked back!
Frustrated with Chang Yu's recklessness, Lu Zi frowned and asked, "Chang Yu! We cannot leave Wild King City at this moment; it is our duty because our mission is to hold this position until the last person. I sent you out to make contact with various factions; why did you abandon your post?!"
Chang Yu initially wanted to joke with Li Xin, but seeing Lu Zi's serious demeanor, he quickly replied, "General! I have completed what you instructed me to do. The results are self-sustaining and do not require outside interference. I believe there will be a response in a few days; please rest assured, General."
Lu Zi always adhered to the principle of everyone doing their own job well and was particularly annoyed by those who thought they could meddle in others' affairs. Many complex problems are not as simple as they appear on the surface; their temporary unsolvability is due to underlying difficulties that need to be addressed one by one.
Those who can fundamentally break through these tough issues are naturally those who have long dealt with them and know them well. As a leader, what is required is to provide all available resources to help subordinates solve problems—not just arriving today and assuming mastery after hearing a few brief reports.
There are plenty of talented individuals in this world!
For this reason, Lu Zi strictly prohibited such matters from occurring under his jurisdiction and established rules accordingly. As Chang Yu was acting on orders from his brother, he naturally fell within this scope. It was reasonable for Chang Yu to follow protocol.
Li Xin and Chang Yu were quite familiar with each other and understood Lu Zi's intentions. Seeing both of them pretending not to understand and avoiding the main point, Li Xin reluctantly stepped in as the villain. "I say, Chang Yu! Why don’t you understand what the General means!? He wants to leave a legacy for your Chang Family; why did you come back!? Hurry up and get lost! Don’t linger here!"
Chang Yu was also capable; his abilities had not been evident because talented individuals were abundant in this era. When the sun rises, the stars in the sky lose their brilliance. He knew very well Lu Zi's intentions and knelt down to express his sincerity. This was also his mother’s wish; she insisted that her son follow General Lu closely. She said that the General was a benefactor of the Chang Family and that even if it meant sacrificing his life, he must protect him at all costs.
Upon hearing these words, Luzi sighed heavily in his heart. The people of China are the backbone of Huaxia; their contentment and joy have never led them to blame heaven or others. To repay even a small kindness with great gratitude is the essence of loyalty and righteousness.
Those who should guide the people toward the light, the vested interests, are only concerned with profit, abandoning propriety, righteousness, and shame. Meanwhile, the common folk, who should be guided, have been following the old traditions of Huaxia and doing their utmost to pass them on! Who, then, is truly the inheritor? It is indeed laughable to think about it now!
Luzi helped Chang Yu to his feet and asked, "Did you receive a letter from home?"
Chang Yu took out a letter from his mother that had been polished by someone else and handed it to Luzi, explaining that the family home had been expanded as scheduled. At this time, several servants were attending to his mother's daily needs. Everything at home was well; he assured the general not to worry.
After reading the letter and returning it, Luzi informed Chang Yu that the money was not actually his own. The gold he borrowed from you last time in Handan City was used for this purpose. Therefore, there were neither the benefactors mentioned in his mother's letter nor any debts owed between them. As for the extra Silver Coins, they would all be handed over to his mother for safekeeping after settling the construction costs.
While this seemed plausible at the moment, the reality was quite different. Earlier texts had mentioned Chunshen Jun, Huang Xie, and the current King of Chu, who was then the Crown Prince. At that time, it was Luzi who helped the Crown Prince return from Xianyang to ascend to the throne. However, the Crown Prince himself was unaware of this and still believed that most of the credit belonged to Huang Xie.
Anyone with a brain could see many doubts if they considered the possibilities. How did Huang Xie, who was also down on his luck in Qin State like the Crown Prince of Chu, gain support from the Qin people?
Huang Xie was different from Fan Ju; Fan Ju had come to Qin State seeking refuge. Even if he was down on his luck at that time, as the Embracing All Rivers King Qin would eventually recognize this buried treasure. Huang Xie was determined to return to Chu and assist the Crown Prince in taking the throne. Neither of them had any connection with Qin State; how could they be favored by the pragmatic Qin people?
The Crown Prince of Chu was still young, and Huang Xie naturally knew this. Although on the surface it appeared that Luzi had not provided any assistance—at most offering a suggestion or asking Chancellor for help—all signs pointed to one person: Luzi, who had no intention of being recognized for his kindness!
After safely returning from Qin State, Huang Xie rose to a high position among officials. Grateful as he was, he naturally appreciated everything Luzi had done behind the scenes. During this time, he attempted to express his gratitude indirectly but found that Luzi seemed completely unaware of it.
Anyone can write superficial articles; only a true gentleman would disdainfully understand their deeper meaning. Since that is the case, he would keep this kindness in his heart. For Huang Xie at this moment, whose face mattered most? Of course, it was none other than Lu Ziquan!
As the Shangdang Campaign raged on, tens of thousands of Chu Army troops suddenly withdrew from the Qin-Chu boundary. They simultaneously announced that Chu would remain neutral, neither attacking nor assisting anyone. The reasons behind this decision have since sunk into obscurity. According to later scholarly investigations, it was said that Chunshen Jun received a letter and insisted on withdrawing troops and maintaining neutrality against opposition opinions. As for why Qi State and Yan State also abandoned their participation in the decisive battle at Shangdang midway through is still unknown.
