Chapter 54: I would rather die than use such a vicious strategy!

Li Si and Meng Tian stared at Fusu with eyes wide open in disbelief, as if trying to find some clues from his face.

The next moment, both of them felt a chill, and an inexplicable fear surged in their hearts.

They were fully aware of the viciousness of this plan, and they knew that once it was implemented, it would arouse the anger and condemnation of people all over the world.

Meng Tian was a man of strong character, and he rejected the plan outright: "Your Majesty, this plan is absolutely unfeasible! How can you treat soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country like this? I would rather die on the battlefield than agree to such a vicious plan!"

His voice was full of determination and indignation!!

Li Si was still frightened and shocked by the ruthlessness of the strategy Ye Chi proposed.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this plan is too cruel, I am afraid it is not the act of a benevolent person. As subjects of the Great Qin, how can we do such an unjust thing? The bodies of the soldiers... How can we treat them like this? Wouldn't this make them restless even after death?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was also shocked!
He had already expected that Ye Chi would come up with a vicious plan, but he never imagined that it would be so vicious and ruthless. It was so frightening!
This plan is so vicious, like a poisonous snake biting the heart, which makes people tremble with fear, not only because of the cruelty of its means, but also because of the seriousness of its consequences!

Once implemented, the Qin soldiers will become disunited and no longer be loyal to the court!

How will the families of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country be comforted?
"This plan... is extremely vicious!" Ying Zheng said gritting his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Li Si and Meng Tian spoke again, their voices were earnest and their expressions were solemn!

"Your Majesty! You must not adopt such a vicious strategy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This strategy is against the harmony of nature. If it is used, the consequences will be disastrous!!"

Li Si was almost kneeling on the ground, his hands tightly gripping the floor tiles, veins on his forehead exposed, showing his inner anxiety and worry.

Meng Tian also knelt on one knee, his eyes firm and resolute, as if he was willing to use his life to defend the dignity of those soldiers who died for their country.

Ying Zheng turned around, put his hands behind his back, his face was as solemn as iron, and his eyes were deep and dark.

He stared ahead, as if weighing the pros and cons, struggling in his heart!
If this strategy is not adopted, then the hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers in Baiyue will all die! !

However, adopting this strategy will surely make the Qin soldiers feel disheartened and disappointed, and may even arouse the anger and condemnation of people all over the world.

As an emperor, how could he not know the interests involved? !

However, how could he just watch his soldiers die in vain?

Ying Zheng was filled with conflicting feelings. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

At this moment, Ying Zheng felt as if he was in a huge whirlpool, unable to extricate himself.

He knew he had to make a decision, but this decision was so difficult and painful.

He clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger and struggle in his heart! !
He knew that he had to be responsible for the people of the world and for the eternal foundation of the Qin Dynasty!
However, how should he choose?

Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!!

It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky!

……

After a long while, Ying Zheng slowly turned around and asked Fusu again: "Is there really no other good solution?"

Although the voice was soft, it revealed endless helplessness and struggle.

Upon hearing this, Fusu shook his head slightly and explained in a low voice: "Mr. Ye also mentioned that the court could provide more generous pensions to the families of those soldiers who died for the country, improve the treatment of their families, and erect monuments to commemorate their merits for future generations to admire."

"However, although this strategy is good, it is difficult to solve the current dilemma!"

When everyone heard this, their expressions eased a little, but they still couldn't hide the pain and struggle in their hearts.

They knew that although such a vicious policy could temporarily solve the problem, it would bring irreparable harm and loss to the Qin Dynasty.

For a moment, the outside of the palace fell into heavy silence again.

After hearing this, Ying Zheng also remained silent. He frowned, his eyes were deep and complicated, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

He understood that no matter what choice he made, he would pay a heavy price!

In the end, Ying Zheng sighed deeply, turned around and returned to Zhangtai Palace without saying a word.

His back looked even lonelier and heavier in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Everyone looked at his departing back, their hearts filled with helplessness and struggle.

They knew that this decision was not easy for His Majesty...

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and the hall was gloomy, with only Ying Zheng's figure wandering alone in it.

He, the supreme ruler of the Qin Dynasty, was now caught in unprecedented struggle and entanglement.

If Ye Chi's strategy is adopted, the soldiers will become disunited and the military will be demoralized, and the foundation of the Qin Empire will be shaken!
If not, hundreds of thousands of troops will be trapped in Baiyue, their lives are uncertain, and they may be completely wiped out!

That’s hundreds of thousands of heroic souls!!!
Such a major decision was like a mountain pressing down on his head, making Ying Zheng feel suffocated!

He held his head high, his eyes sharp, and exuded the air of an emperor.

However, those deep eyes revealed unspeakable struggle and helplessness.

He knew very well that as an emperor, every decision he made affected the rise and fall of the country, and the life and death, honor and disgrace of countless soldiers.

Ying Zheng clenched his fists, veins bulging, as if he was trying his best to suppress the waves in his heart.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the inky black night sky, with endless pride and grandeur surging in his heart!
As an emperor, he must shoulder this responsibility and burden.

"Whether to use it or not is up to me, just a thought."

Ying Zheng murmured to himself, his voice revealing endless majesty and dominance.

……

At this moment, palace servants were walking quickly between the corridors, looking nervous, holding urgent military reports in their hands.

The solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the air, and even the light of the palace lanterns seemed dim!

Ying Zheng returned to the imperial couch with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed and his eyes sharp.

He felt an unprecedented pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his heart!

Because, thirteen urgent military reports arrived one after another!
Each one was like a bombshell, shaking his mind!

"Your Majesty! Urgent news from Baiyue!"

The palace maid handed over the first military report with trembling hands.

Ying Zheng took a glance and saw that it clearly said Tu Sui's order, which mentioned returning to provide assistance and gathering troops.

However, what followed made him instantly furious.

It turned out that Tu Sui was ambushed by the enemy on his way back for support and suffered heavy losses!
Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up, his curse echoing in the hall: "You butcher! You are my loyal and faithful minister, but you can't even figure out such a simple siege and attack, and you even ordered the troops to return! You are such a mediocrity! You have delayed my important task, what crime should you be punished for!!"

His voice revealed endless majesty and arrogance, as if it was going to shake the entire hall to the point of collapse.

The eunuchs were silent and no one dared to speak in response.

Ying Zheng’s anger surged like a storm, which was frightening!
He then opened the second military report:
