Recently, Wild King City has been quieter than ever, with clear skies and no rain, making it hard to see the shadows of war. If it weren't for the daily influx of Wounded from the front lines, no one would believe that the Shangdang Region has already amassed a million troops.
Since the defending General took command of the Young Imperial Guard Corps, Luzi has ordered Li Xin to train the troops every day. As for how they train, as long as they can still breathe, they practice until they can’t. After all, Wild King City is not in a war zone at this time; the slogan of sweating more during training still needs to be shouted. As long as they don’t train to death, they might really survive against the enemy. But if they don’t push themselves now, they will understand the consequences of not training once they are on the battlefield.
Heaven is always fair; opportunities to survive are reserved for those who are prepared.
Luzi has categorized and assigned Soldiers who participated in the Granary defense battle, promoting those who should be promoted to various combat units. Fortunately, there is no exclusionary tradition within the Qin Army; all appointment notices from above are strictly followed. Moreover, utilizing people according to their talents means that those who have fought and survived have valuable insights. Learning earnestly from them is never a loss!
For those who are indeed unsuitable for leading troops, Luzi has made reasonable arrangements. The Granary also requires a large number of personnel for internal management, which have all been assigned to Fan Chenglong for oversight. Furthermore, receiving rewards—especially substantial ones—means that everyone is satisfied. It’s a win-win situation; everyone is grateful to General Lu.
These days, Luzi seems busier than anyone else, as he has Fan Chenglong inside and Li Xin outside managing affairs. The Catapult in the city has also had its personnel fixed, with newly appointed General Ji Xi in charge of artillery command. Through his relentless efforts, the Catapult can now be referred to as a cannon vehicle.
With the appropriate weight of shells calculated, both its range and firepower have significantly improved. The introduction of delayed ignition fuses has made long-range artillery no longer just a dream.
In these tumultuous times of war, inventors are in high demand!
After witnessing the artillery test firing, Luzi publicly praised General Ji profusely, nearly causing Ji Xi to faint from embarrassment. However, he also realistically stated that it was our Great Qin Kingdom that provided support; the Ninety-Nine Algorithm is simply divine calculation. Without this mnemonic device, many data points would be difficult to prove or process.
Luzi told him that this is a natural order. Whenever heaven wishes someone to achieve immortality, countless miracles will manifest in the world. Although the road to success is arduous, it quietly protects you all along the way. It’s like climbing over towering mountains; experiencing life’s peaks requires understanding the true meaning of perseverance.
Our Great Qin is chosen by heaven to unify the Unity of the Realm. China will never be divided again; even with war, it will not fall apart. And our Huaxia people are also chosen by heaven to carry on human civilization forever.
However, Ji Xi, filled with hopes for the future, raised an objection: where there are people, there will be disputes. When conflicts arise due to differing ideologies that cannot be unified, war will inevitably follow.
Luzi told Ji Xi that the existence of China lies in its ability to embrace tolerance. So there is no need to fear future disputes or worry about foreign invasions. Civilization has long been ingrained in the bones of every individual, and even if only one descendant of Yan and Huang remains, he can still carry on the legacy of Chinese civilization.
Those who seek to change the world will ultimately be changed by it. True civilization never attempts to change anyone, thus it cannot be changed by anyone. The vastness of heaven and earth has always embraced humanity. Those who wish to overturn the world eventually find that it is only themselves who have changed.
As Qin People, we should feel proud. As descendants of Yan and Huang, we should feel even prouder. Because Heavenly Will has already given us revelations about the future and entrusted us with its maintenance and protection. The righteous will defeat the unrighteous; this is the sacred mission bestowed upon the descendants of Yan and Huang!
The Yellow Emperor was formed with Princess Shui, and the Flame Emperor was formed with Ginger Water. Ji Xi is a legitimate descendant of the Yellow Emperor but lacks the theories that Luzi speaks of. Thus, he admires Luzi greatly and has become a staunch supporter. He has resolved to live well, striving to witness a unified China and a flourishing China free from war.
What people fear is when hearts are united; when everyone works together, many seemingly impossible things become possible. Ji Xi, skilled in firearms, spends nearly every day at his post, solving difficult problems effortlessly. With a leader's effort, his subordinates excel as well. As soon as the Observation Post reports a target distance, they can already implement artillery fire. The probability of hitting on the first shot is extremely high, eliminating even the need for test firing.
Luzi sees this and feels joy in his heart; he feels he would be remiss not to praise them a bit more. However, these past few days he has felt restless, even seeing the Qin State's artillery reach unprecedented levels does not excite him much.
Perhaps it is because he worries about the missing Meng Wu and Wang Jian!
Over the past two years, Luzi has been dealing with the military almost constantly. He knows that soldiers generally do not go missing without reason; those who suddenly lose contact are often on secret missions. If a mission succeeds, there may still be a chance to see them again. But if it fails, they may never be found again.
When King Zhao of Qin arrived at Wild King City to boost morale among the defending soldiers, he did not reveal who would be leading the Qin Army this time. With Luzi's keen intuition, he is ninety percent sure about who this leader will be. The reason for using ninety percent as an estimate mainly relates to Fan Ju and Fan Changxiang.
In joint operations secretly formed with various Feudal States, there is only one person within Qin State capable of handling this matter. This is not to belittle other generals but rather a matter of fact. The others are all elite forces; if we do not deploy our strongest power, we risk repeating mistakes.
To put it bluntly, this battle will determine the future landscape of the Feudal States. It is also a decisive battle for Great Qin; how could it not be taken seriously!? It is well-known that Fan Ju has a strained relationship with Wei Ran, Bai Qi's teacher. If this vengeful person from Wei Kingdom were to oppose it, King Zhao of Qin would have to weigh his options carefully. For this reason, Luzi does not have complete confidence that Bai Qi will come to Shangdang.
What puzzles everyone is why Luzi, who has the capability to send someone to verify this matter, does nothing at all. Even when his subordinates speculate about it, he warns them to focus on their tasks instead of wasting time sitting around pondering thoughts; they might as well learn from Ji Xi and General Ji's dedication to their work.
Luzi indeed did not send anyone to verify, due to the reasons of each taking responsibility. Since he had promised Zhao Xiang Wang back then, he must wholeheartedly protect the Qin Army Granary. As for who would lead this time, that should be a matter for the Lord of the Nation and the Qin officials to worry about.
However, his recent restlessness constantly reminded him that Meng Wu and Wang Jian might be in danger! On the surface, it seemed like just an individual's awareness, but time would eventually prove that the subsequent facts aligned with that awareness.
