"This is the first time I've seen this theory. Why do I suddenly think it makes sense?"

"Alas, if it is true as Bai Qi said, unless we ignore Qin's great cause, we have no choice but to stop fighting!"

"I used to think that he only needed to nod his head and fight a symbolic battle, but now it seems that this battle is much more complicated than we imagined!"

"Yes, maybe we have underestimated Lord Wu An. It's not that he has no political wisdom, but he has used this wisdom for the benefit of the entire Qin Dynasty!"

"I feel like if I traveled back in time to the Warring States Period, I would definitely not survive the first one!"

The audience thought about it like Jiang Yi, and in the end, like Bai Qi, they all came to the most helpless decision, but the one that best preserved Da Qin——

"Can't fight!"

But if we don't fight, where will King Zhaoxiang's face go? He won't be able to step down.

Moreover, it is clearly recorded in the classics that Bai Qi was unwilling to do so before his death.

If he really wanted to be so transparent, how could he say his last words: "Why did I blame God to end up like this?"

The audience had new thoughts.

At this moment, Jiang Yi answered Bai Qi's question: "I would rather disobey my order than fight!"

"Being killed for disobeying orders can also establish King Zhaoxiang's authority."

"On the surface, the issue of whether to continue the expedition only involves King Zhaoxiang and Lord Wu'an, but in fact, it is a battle between the power of the king and the power of the generals."

"The military generals managed to achieve the goal of destroying the country with great difficulty. Naturally, they were unwilling to be recalled suddenly, including Lord Wu An."

This is understandable...

Just like a team that went to a foreign country to work hard and was about to win a large order worth hundreds of billions and become the best in the entire industry, the boss suddenly called and said: "Come back, the company has made other profits!"

"After the general manager's negotiation, another company agreed to give us some benefits. I think it's pretty good. This time the general manager did a much more thoughtful job than you guys and got the matter done without reimbursing a dime!"

Who can I blame?

The war was fought by military commanders, but the peach was smashed by the civilian clique!

"That's right. Only by disobeying my order can I not only protect the Qin Dynasty, but also have a damnable crime so that the king can kill me and re-establish his prestige."

"So what if he is stronger than me? If you disobey, you will die. How can you not prove the authority of the king?"

Bai Qi's expression was solemn, and his footsteps echoed through the tent.

Jiang Yi now faces the same question as the audience.

These are all strategic issues for the Qin Dynasty, and he does not doubt that Bai Qi can think of them.

But what is the explanation for those last words before his death?

Jiang Yi asked: "But in history, before he died, Lord Wu An first expressed his dissatisfaction, 'Why did I blame God for this?'"

"After that, you said: I deserved to die. In the Battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered. After I deceived them, I killed them all."

"After sighing, you committed suicide. Mr. Wu An, just think about it, why did you say these two sentences in that environment?"

Based on these two sentences, many later generations analyzed that the Battle of Changping was not Bai Qi's choice, so it became Bai Qi's inner demon and believed that he deserved to die.

This idea does hold true for others, but Jiang Yi is skeptical.

It is true that Bai Qi may not have political acumen, and in his later years he may feel that he has killed too much, so he would express such emotion.

But having an army of 400,000 people become his inner demon is a bit forced into an ordinary perspective.

You know, in the second year after the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi led his troops to beat up Zhao Guo again, and he even went to Handan in person, obviously wanting to kill more.

So, why did he say that?

Jiang Yi quietly waited for Bai Qi's reply.

Bai Qi walked outside the tent, Jiang Yi followed closely, and came to a high ground.

Looking along Bai Qi's line of sight, Jiang Yi saw that in the relatively concave land, there were densely packed Zhao troops stationed there.

Some were in a sleeping position, some were looking longingly in the direction of Zhao Guo, and some were hungry, with eyes eager for food.

Jiang Yi and the audience were all shocked by the scene in front of them. Four hundred thousand people were so densely packed there. There were even some children inside. All the men who could fight in Zhao Guo were here.

This scene, without special effects, is as shocking as a blockbuster of the century.

Bai Qi has one thought of life and one thought of death. He controls the lives of 400,000 Zhao troops.

Jiang Yi turned his head and glanced at Bai Qi, whose eyes were always as calm as water.

After a while, Bai Qi finally spoke:

"Why have I sinned against Heaven to end up like this? It's because I, the commander, could have been innocent."

"I have served the Qin army all my life, but in the end I had to commit suicide. Who else could be calm?"

"The reason why Changping was mentioned later is simply because Zhao Guo made a mistake and made me pay the price for Changping."

Bai Qi looked at the 400,000 troops in front of him who were about to be killed, and sighed.

Thinking that his original self would end up like that, he felt a little sad now, let alone the self after experiencing it personally.

I wonder if the king will change his mind this time?

He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and looked into the distance.

Jiang Yi silently observed his every move and analyzed the meaning of these words.

I thought that I shouldn't die like this, but I remembered that the initiator of the accident was Zhao Guo, and I knew that I had to die, so I sighed like this, so that I could accept it calmly before dying.

All of these are possibilities that Bai Qi can think of and do exist.

At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly realized that if he wanted to fully understand some controversial things, he had to go to the period when a person's life was about to end, especially Bai Qi's kind.

No one knows what he will be thinking about before he dies. Even if you ask him a few years ago, the answer you get may not be credible.

Since we are talking to Mr. Wu An, we might as well have a discussion with him!

"Mr. Wu An, do you want to know who will be the general of the future generations of China?"

"The general of future generations?"

Bai Qi came back from his worries and said with interest:

"I really want to know if there will be any generals in future generations who can surpass me in talent!"

Jiang Yi and Bai Qi walked to a table outside and sat down facing each other.

Jiang Yi said: "How about I just list some generals and achievements of later generations at will, and let Lord Wu An decide their talents?"

"Can."

Bai Bi nodded, glanced at the wine jug next to him, and was about to reach out for it. Jiang Yi stood up quickly, picked up the wine jug before he stretched out his hand, and filled it up for him.

Then he poured himself a glass.

Bai Qi's impression of Jiang Yi and later generations became better again.
