"Your Highness, it's not good!"
At this time, Liu Qi was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by shouts outside the door.
After getting up, Zhao Wenhui had come in with a piece of paper in his hand.
"what happened?"
Zhao Wenhui said as he handed over the paper.
"Your Highness, just this morning, I don't know who it is, so many articles suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of Pingcheng. Please take a look!!"
When I took a quick look, I saw it was written on the paper.
The prince will soon lead an army to fight against the Huns. Not only did they want to capture the great Chanyu of the Xiongnu and bring their princes and nobles back to the Qing Kingdom for questioning, but they also made the women prostitutes and the men slaves...
There are a lot of words written in the back, all of which are insulting to the Huns. At the same time, at the end, it also highlights Liu Qi's determination to conquer the Huns this time.
Zhao Wenhui looked worried.
"Your Highness, although this little girl doesn't understand military affairs, she did this and let the Huns know about it. Didn't this completely anger them?"
Liu Qi originally led few soldiers.
In Zhao Wenhui's opinion, the less the Huns paid attention, the greater their chances of victory would be. In this case, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the Huns to share the same hatred with the enemy?
However, Liu Qi laughed and threw the paper aside casually.
"Why are you panicking? Doesn't this coincide with my king's plan?"
"You forgot, didn't I say before that I want Mr. Li to go to the Huns and tell the Xiongnu's Chanyu that he will be captured and brought back to Daqing to question him? What is written on this paper is nothing more than what I have said. It’s just more intense.”
Zhao Wenhui was very confused.
The prince showed no emotion at all, and even after getting up, he had the time to make himself a pot of hot tea.
"Your Highness, don't you care at all that if you do this, you will anger the Huns? Moreover, you don't want anyone to find out who did this?"
Liu Qi smiled.
"There is nothing to investigate. Those who want to harm me are just those old boys. Instead of being angry, I want to thank them."
"Thank them?"
Zhao Wenhui thought to herself, could it be that the prince was confused by his sleep?
This is obviously someone who is deliberately targeting them. It's okay not to get angry, but you actually want to thank them?
But before Zhao Wenhui could ask, she heard footsteps coming from behind, and Qin Wei came over.
When he saw that the paper on the ground was the same as the one he was holding in his hand, he immediately understood that the prince already knew about this.
"Qin Lieutenant, you came just in time. Have you seen everything above?"
Qin Wei frowned slightly.
"I saw it, and I was about to come over to tell you about it. Your Highness, I was about to ask Wu Tianxu to lead people to seize everyone in the city who has this article."
But Liu Qi waved his hand at him.
"No, no, no, who told you that the king was going to confiscate these articles? Besides, they have been spread all over the streets. People in the whole city have known about them for a long time. Now that they are taken back, isn't this a deception?"
"Then Your Highness..."
Qin Wei and Zhao Wenhui glanced at each other, but neither understood the prince's intentions.
"You are right to go to Wu Tianxu. This king also has this idea."
"However, instead of confiscating it, you ask him to order his subordinates to post all the articles that can be seen by me on the streets and alleys. Just say that I asked him to do this."
As he spoke, he touched his chin with his hand, looking thoughtful.
"In addition, let Wu Tianxu find a cage and hang it on the wall of Pingcheng, and then tell the people in the city that this cage is used to contain the Chanyu."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wei and Zhao Wenhui were stunned.
Not only did the prince not stop him, but he also allowed the situation to escalate, and even hung a cage on the city wall. Wasn't this a clear attempt to anger the Huns.
If the Xiongnu knew about this behavior, they would definitely gather the entire army and fight with them during this expedition. Wouldn't it be more difficult to win?
But when Qin and Wei were still puzzled, Liu Qi spoke again.
"Yes, and, Captain Qin, after you leave the government, go to the city. There is a place called Tingshuxiang. There are all the storytellers in Pingcheng there."
"You find their manager, and then give him enough silver, and let them talk only about my plan to attack the Huns for a month."
"Moreover, I want to say more bad things about the Xiongnu. For example, they were scared. When the Chanyu heard this, he was so scared that he wet his pants and no longer dared to invade Daqing... Anyway, that's what it meant , do you understand?"
He understood it, but Qin Wei was even more surprised.
Even a good-tempered person can't stand this combination of punches.
Not to mention the Great Chanyu, any Huns who knew about this would probably hate Daqing, or to be precise, the prince of Daqing.
"Your Highness, I have something to say at the end, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Why did you return my mother-in-law's property? Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Even so, Qin Wei still hesitated. Then he spoke.
"Your Highness, if you do this, you will completely anger the Huns!!"
"The general is worried that if we don't have time to fight against the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu will let his prince lead his elite army to invade our Daqing border again."
"If this is the case, if they come out in full force, with the current strength of our troops in the north, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist them!"
Wei Qin wants to come.
Normally, the Xiongnu were wary of Daqing's power, and at most they would just harass them. After taking some supplies, they turned around and left.
Now, the Huns were completely angered, and they were afraid that they would use their entire army to start a direct war with Daqing.
Although Daqing is not afraid of them, it will take time to mobilize more troops.
By the time the reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid the northern border will already be in pieces due to their invasion.
By then, they would return to the grassland and continue to recuperate. After all, Daqing still had nothing to do with them.
But Liu Qi's face was full of indifference. He even used the pot lid to skim off the tea foam in the cup and took a nice sip.
"Hahaha, don't worry, the Huns will not attack Daqing."
"By the way, Lieutenant Qin, please work harder. After you finish these things, go to Camp Shenwei and tell Wood to instruct the guards at Pingbeiguan to make some scarecrows outside the city. Everyone should wear that The Xiongnu's clothes were used every day during the day so that the soldiers could use them as targets for shooting arrows or chopping with swords."
The previous things were puzzling enough, but the prince's behavior made Zhao Wenhui and Qin Wei even more surprised.
This would be tantamount to completely offending the Huns.
If the prince cannot defeat the Huns in this battle, then the northern border of Daqing will probably be harassed by the Huns frequently in the future.
Coupled with such insults, the Huns' brutal behavior will only become more unscrupulous.
"Your Highness, do you really want to do this? If we do this, we will really have no way out. If we don't fight the Huns, there will be endless troubles!"
Looking at Qin Wei's expression, Liu Qi took a deep breath. And what he said was not on the same train of thought as the two of them.
"Qin Lieutenant, just do this. If I think of any more tricks, I will tell you again."
"What!? There's more?!"
