The fighting at Shanyuguan continued, and a few days later, Huang Zu's personal letter also reached King Ling.
After the latter read it, he immediately called Cheng Ping and handed the letter to him in the palace study.
Cheng Ping took it and started to watch. At the same time, King Ling said in a leisurely manner: "Old General Huang's intention is very obvious. He wants to discredit the King of Qin and put our allies in a state of submissiveness to attack the Qin army. Military spirit.”
After he finished speaking, Cheng Ping almost put away the letter and pondered a little: "Although it is a good idea to attack the heart, it will not be easy to let the whole world accuse the King of Qin, and we have no excuse."
"Then fabricate some things." King Ling said: "You write a letter to challenge King Qin, and I will announce it to the world as the leader of the alliance."
"Then... I dare to ask your Majesty how to write the specific content." Cheng Ping said.
King Ling said: "Let's start from the origin of King Qin and list his various crimes, especially imprisoning the emperor and committing rebellion against heaven. This point can be emphasized."
"Wei Chen obeys your orders."
There is no doubt about Cheng Ping's talent. After receiving Wang Ling, he dove into the study. He wrote, deleted, deleted and wrote again, and worked hard for several days and nights before finally completing this article.
After it was handed over to the King of Spirits for review, the latter was very satisfied and immediately ordered thousands of copies to be circulated and announced to the world.
This letter to the King of Qin can be said to be a truly generous work. Its writing style is magnificent and its talent is fully displayed. There is no curse word in it, and the content is full of indignation and injustice for the world. It is easy to empathize with it when reading it.
When this book was published, there was no doubt that it caused an uproar.
Prince Qin's Mansion, in the study.
This letter to the King of Qin has already been passed to Xiao Yuan's hands. He is also unfolding the bamboo slips, reading every word carefully.
The content of the article first said that Xiao Yuan was born in a despicable manner and was actually a pariah. He did extraordinary things to get the throne. Then he said that he committed rebellion, divided the country, launched wars rashly, and so on.
In short, Xiao Yuan was demoted to be worthless, and the other kings were described as righteous men who fought against crimes in heaven.
Moreover, the content contained a lot of indignation and denunciations, directly naming names. This letter made me angry to death, but after reading it, Xiao Yuan smiled.
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Wenruo couldn't help but said with worry on his face: "This... why is the king laughing? This article is really detrimental to our Qin country..."
"Haha!" Xiao Yuan smiled heartily again and said: "Sir Shangguan, have you read Cheng Ping's article? It's amazing. Look at this paragraph. It says that I hurt the people, indulged in gluttony and indulged, and peeked Stealing artifacts and committing rotten deeds."
"Then he also said that the Allied Forces had millions of halberds, and Master Wang could purge the evildoers. This echoed the previous and later, and the writing was magnificent, with momentum like a galloping horse, and energy flowing through the rainbow."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise: "As expected of the greatest literati in the Ling Kingdom, this scholar is really extraordinary when he makes a move."
"This, this..." Shangguan Wenruo said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, Cheng Ping even scolded you like this in his article. He is really confusing right and wrong and distorting the facts."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Let him scold you. If you scold him, he will lose a piece of meat. The most important thing is that our army and people of Great Qin are united. These superficial articles are not worth mentioning!"
"Besides, there are celebrities in his Ling Kingdom, but there are no great literati in our Qin Kingdom? You should immediately write a more spectacular article than Cheng Ping to refute him!"
"Yes, I accept the order." Shangguan Wenruo responded quickly. If it comes to discussing articles, his talent will probably not be lower than that of Cheng Ping.
Xiao Yuan added: "In addition, the fighting at Shanyuguan has been breaking out for many days. Based on the current situation, what do you think?"
Shangguan Wenruo said: "This war will definitely involve fighting for national strength until the end. Under the control of the Prime Minister, our country has enough food, grass and weapons, but after all, the countries are united together, and their overall strength is stronger than ours. If we continue to If the stalemate continues and the coalition forces refuse to retreat, we are afraid that we will take the lead and fail."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment. Although this was something that happened after a long period of fighting, it must be considered now. After thinking about it, he changed the subject and said, "But one thing is that we have to be better than The coalition forces are fighting for the homeland, occupying the right time and place, with convenient supplies, and can provide support at any time, while the coalition forces are fighting long distances, and the supply lines are very long."
"The king means that you want to attack the enemy's supply line?" Shangguan Wenruo asked tentatively.
Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's not appropriate now. Let Su Yi defend for a few months. It's best for the coalition forces to retreat in the face of difficulties. Otherwise, this war will have to be planned differently."
The calculations in the palace and the battlefield are actually inseparable. The royal court in the rear needs to lay out the grand strategy, and the generals in the front line need to plan how to use troops according to the strategic intention.
At the same time, Xuan Guo, the palace study.
Yao Tingyu is standing below with a slight bow.
King Xuan sat behind the writing desk and after reading the bamboo slips in his hands, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and said happily: "Well done, the scolding is very satisfying. I should have scolded that treacherous person long ago."
She looked happy, as if she was very happy when Cheng Ping scolded Xiao Yuan.
Seeing this, Yao Tingyu first glanced at her secretly, and then said with a little doubt: "Your Majesty, what are you..."
"Ahem!" King Xuan coughed slightly and pretended to be serious: "Nothing, Prime Minister, please tell me about the recent war at Shanyu Pass."
"Yes." Yao Tingyu said: "According to our intelligence, Huang Zu launched a day and night attack on Shanyuguan. There was no good tactic. However, with the courage of the Qin army, the coalition forces were repulsed last time. So far, Look, it’s absolutely impossible to capture it in a short time.”
"With the defense of Shanyu Pass, anyone who goes there can only attack by force. There is no second option. The Qin army has 300,000 people guarding the pass. Even if the coalition forces can break through the pass, I am afraid that these 900,000 troops will suffer heavy losses. Qin , it’s not that easy to destroy.” King Xuan said.
Yao Tingyu nodded: "Your Majesty is right. By then, both of them will suffer losses. Our country will be the biggest beneficiary if it stays out of the matter."
"No." King Xuan said in a calm voice: "What the prime minister is thinking is so natural. If we can think of this, the coalition forces will not expect that it won't be long before the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms will definitely force us to send troops. They will not let Xuan Guo sit down. Harvest the fisherman.”
"Then...what is the king's plan?" Yao Tingyu asked.
"Keep an eye on the battle situation and grasp the battle situation at Shanyu Pass as soon as possible. When it is time to send troops, I will send troops." King Xuan said.
After saying that, she directly changed the subject, raised the bamboo slip in her hand, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, tell me, what will King Qin think after reading this letter to the King of Qin?"
"Wei Chen doesn't know this."
"Is he going to be angry to death? Haha!" King Xuan was overjoyed again.
