Chapter 75: The Power of Information
Jun knew that Zhao had the wrong idea, believing that Wei was invading them. This misconception made it much easier for him to gain power within Wei for a future invasion.
He had camps set up near the forest, flying their banners, all of them waiting for the moment he would decide to join the war. However, when he did join, it would be to take everything into his own hands.
What would it cost to take everything? Becoming the most powerful man in the world when the time came. His charisma immediately put him in a favorable position because no matter where he was or with whom, everyone saw him as a natural-born leader who should be offered leadership.
Jun held the title of "Lord of Whispers," controlling information across Qin, Wei, and now, even venturing into Zhao. His current mission in Zhao was to kill Yuu Ren.
The time he had spent on this mission wasn’t solely for Kyou Kai and his revenge but to expand his influence. Without a doubt, he now had an army capable of taking any kingdom if he so desired.
Nevertheless, he knew patience was key to making the winning move.
Just by looking at Jun’s army, their armor gleaming even in the dark, it was clear that the quality of weaponry at his soldiers' disposal was unmatched.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The advance was well-directed; they had yet to encounter any significant force. It was clear that something else was going on, and Jun had confirmed it with the assassin who had come to kill him.
Jun didn’t need to interrogate anyone to know which kingdom they came from. Just by observing their clothes, banners, and swords, he knew this assassin had come from Zhao with the specific intent to kill him.
"A lot has happened, but war remains the same. No one has innovated much in all these years." If Jun desired, he could crush Zhao in a single, well-planned war.
It would be easy for him to suggest that Qin intended to invade Wei, while Wei, in the eyes of Zhao, wanted to invade them. A strategy to pit both armies against each other while Jun’s private army invaded Zhao.
The pincer's maneuver—Jun was now planting the seeds for it.
He hoped to gather enough resources before returning to his homeland.
The battle at the front soon met strong resistance. Jun’s soldiers clashed with those standing in their way.
Throughout the entire process, Jun didn’t need to make a single move. All he had to do was plan the operation and command the troops, and the victories kept coming.
“Keep advancing; leave no one alive.”
…
“They’re close to our position.”
At a mountain outpost several hundred meters below the hill where the criminals' settlements were located:
“Is the cavalry ready?”
“So are the archers, sir.”
Jun nodded slightly. They were getting closer to solving all the problems in their position.
