Chapter 59: Ambush Assassin (2)
"No matter what, 50,000 people is not a small number. It would be disadvantageous for us to let them go easily or keep them in our army."
"They are Feiyan's people. If they are sent back to Zhao, it will definitely cause unrest. If they are left idle, it may leave a source of trouble."
"In that case, we can use them for border defense."
Wu Yao's sudden words surprised both Zhao Ziheng and Wang Ye. It was surprising that someone who hadn't spoken for a long time could go straight to the point when he spoke. Even though Zhao Ziheng and Wang Ye had thought of this, it seemed that they both deliberately did not say it explicitly.
"That way, we don't have to worry about future problems, and we can monitor them and let them work and support themselves."
"Your Majesty, General Wu is right. This is a good idea."
Wang Ye chuckled and praised Wu Yao's proposal to Zhao Ziheng. In fact, he had thought of it a long time ago, but just like Zhao Ziheng, he didn't say it out loud. It was as if he was waiting for Wu Yao to speak. Zhao Ziheng noticed it so he didn't say anything.
"Well, I think so too. In the past two years, Zhao has been in constant war. It must consume a lot of manpower to improve the national defense. The 50,000 laborers available this time can also be used for our own use. I approve it and give orders. As soon as General Zhao arrives , you, Wu Yao, will personally escort those people back to Zhao to ensure that everything goes well."
"As you command, I will do my best."
Proposing a suggestion and having it adopted was just making up for the previous mistake. Wu Yao's answer was very powerful, as if he was guaranteeing that he would not fail again. His reaction caused Zhao Ziheng and Wang Ye to look at each other, and they both seemed quite satisfied?
"Okay, everyone has worked hard today, go down and have a rest."
"yes!!"
Wang Ye and Wu Yao bowed and left. When they were not far from the tent, Wu Yao stopped and Wang Ye continued to walk ahead of him...
"Lord Wang——"
"Uh? General Wu, is there something wrong?"
After struggling for a while, Wu Yao finally called out to Wang Ye. Wang Ye didn't find it strange, but pretended to be curious, stopped, turned around and faced Wu Yao.
"I want to know, is this the emperor's order or your suggestion?"
"General Wu is referring to the surprise attack?"
Without Wu Yao saying the topic, Wang Ye had already answered what he wanted to ask. Only then did Wu Yao feel that he had a hidden talent for Wang Ye.
"If that's the case, you should know it's the emperor's intention without asking, right? Shouldn't General Wu know better than me?"
That's right, Wu Yao did think so in his heart, but there was a possibility that Wang Ye's existence could not be ignored. What was the reason? Just now in the tent, when he carefully observed the conversation between Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng for the first time, Wu Yao was shaken by Wang Ye's existence. It was the first time he saw two completely different people talking so well. Zhao Ziheng knew what Wang Ye was thinking, and Wang Ye also knew what Zhao Ziheng was thinking. They had the same idea. It was just a feeling. Wu Yao thought that Wang Ye had something to hide, and his ability must be above Zhao Ziheng. With such a person around Zhao Ziheng, Wu Yao already knew that he could not be compared with him. There were not even a few people who could compare with Wang Ye. His existence was inevitable. He was indispensable when Zhao Ziheng accomplished great things. It was ridiculous to think If Wang Ye really got serious, I'm afraid he would have lost face by now.
"I finally understand why the emperor is so fond of you. For the emperor and the future of Zhao, please stay by the emperor's side. I apologize for my previous stupidity. I was too blind to recognize the great man."
"Even if General Wu didn't say it, I would have stayed by the emperor's side and been loyal to him with the same feelings as General Wu . This is also the reason why I came back this time."
"…If I had discovered it earlier, maybe that mistake could have been avoided."
"Everyone makes mistakes. General Wu, you don't need to mind what has happened. Just do your job well and do your best in the future."
"Do your best?"
Wu Yao was silent for a moment.
"Master Wang is really a man of hidden talents. If there is a chance, I really want to see Master Wang's true strength."
"Being able to see him may not necessarily be a good thing, so please don't hold out too much hope, General Wu."
If Wang Ye goes all out, the situation will be very serious. It is better not to get into such a dangerous situation. After Wang Ye's words, Wu Yao seemed to have noticed it. If Wang Ye shows his full strength, Zhao Ziheng will definitely be in danger again, right?
"Got it. Then please forget what I just said, Lord Wang."
"Know."
Wu Yao understood immediately after just a few words, which made Wang Ye somewhat satisfied. Was his future really limitless? This was Wang Ye's evaluation of Wu Yao...
"I apologize for taking up Lord Wang's time. Goodbye."
"please!"
Only when talking with Wang Ye in a calm state of mind can one discover his true strength. Wu Yao thought that it was a good thing that he lost to Wang Ye, otherwise he would never give up. After seeing Wang Ye's hidden strength, he also understood that Wang Ye was a truly capable person. Wu Yao was convinced that Wang Ye could be valued by Zhao Ziheng. After all, talents like Wang Ye were very rare. Unlike those mediocre people who deliberately put on airs and had no merits, people who pretended to be mediocre were not all so incompetent. Wang Ye made Wu Yao understand this point thoroughly.
