Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 790

Chapter 790: Chapter 787: Devotion unto Death_1

Zhao Sheng sat at the desk, listening to Mr. Cai, the strategist by the side of the Princess of Zhen, recounting his past. It was only then that Zhao Sheng learned that Mr. Cai was originally a counselor in the Left Prime Minister Li Mao’s residence of the Jin Kingdom. Later, because the Left Prime Minister offended the Princess of Zhen, he pushed Mr. Cai out to be dealt with by her. However, not only did the Princess of Zhen not punish him, she instead took him under her wing and always held him in high regard.

Cai Ziyuan knew that Bai Qingyan had the broad-mindedness to accommodate the world, so it was easy for him to guess that she intended to win over Zhao Sheng, including the Zhao family army under his command.

Cai Ziyuan held a cup of hot tea, smiling as he said to Zhao Sheng, "Perhaps General Zhao still thinks I am a persuader sent by the Princess of Zhen. But the Princess of Zhen has always been a straightforward person. She likes to speak her mind directly. The opportunity is right in front of General Zhao. If General Zhao doesn’t want it, the Princess of Zhen certainly won’t force it! After all, for the Princess of Zhen, with her intellect and her methods of training soldiers, she doesn’t need to rely on others!"

As he spoke, Cai Ziyuan slowly blew into his teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "Recruiting General Zhao is merely because the Princess of Zhen cherishes talents by nature. If she could get General Zhao’s help, she would certainly speed up the unification of the world. But if General Zhao is unwilling, it would only be a slight delay. The Princess of Zhen could still achieve it. After all, many are willing to sacrifice to see the day the world is united, to write their names into history."

For Zhao Sheng, what he wanted was to see the day when the world was united and to participate in such a great cause, to have his name recorded in history.

Zhao Sheng remained silent all along. In fact, he no longer needed further persuasion from Cai Ziyuan.

Today, Zhao Sheng had met various commanders of the Zhao family army and commanders of the Liang Army and had already clarified his intentions.

At first, some people cursed Zhao Sheng as a traitor. But when Zhao Sheng spoke about the situation in the Liang court, the urgency of the plague in Liang Kingdom, how the Emperor was immersed in personal vendettas, ignoring the lives of the Liang soldiers and the people, those commanders fell silent.

Later, Zhao Sheng told the commanders of Liang what Bai Qingyan had said to him that day, planting the seed of worldwide unification in their hearts. He clearly explained the current strategies and progress of Yan and the determination of Jin Kingdom to destroy Liang as a foundation for future unification.

The commanders of Liang all understood that the Imperial Family of Liang did not have the ambition to unite the world or end the chaos.

Many Liang soldiers doubted if the Emperor of Jin, who sought immortality, had such ambition.

Zhao Sheng then clearly shared his own suspicions with his comrades, believing that the Princess of Zhen had the ambition and courage to unify the world. He had noticed her intentions and suspected that the full-scale attack on Liang by Jin was a result of her strategies.

The Princess of Zhen had stated clearly that if Jin wanted to unify the world, it must first capture Liang to eliminate the concerns from the north.

When Zhao Sheng told his comrades that he believed the Princess of Zhen would overthrow the Imperial Family of Jin and that she was preparing for the great cause, the commanders of the Zhao family army were the first to kneel, expressing their willingness to follow Zhao Sheng and serve the Princess of Zhen.

As generals, who wouldn’t want to be one of the heroes who pacified the world?
