Spiritual country.
During this period of time, King Ling was also repeatedly persuaded by ministers to come in.
Since the Civil War, the world situation has undergone tremendous changes, gradually forming a confrontation between the northwest and the southeast, with Qin Ling occupying half of the country.
With such a large territory and the fact that the Spirit King is already over fifty, his ambition to become emperor is actually even greater than Xiao Yuan's.
However, this time the persuasion was met with strong opposition from Ling Xiang, Cheng Ping and several important ministers.
In the study room of the palace, the Spirit King said faintly: "My beloved, I am already old. I wonder if I can go further in my lifetime."
The meaning of his words was already very clear, and it was obvious that his desire to become emperor had not diminished yet.
Cheng Ping stood below and said respectfully: "It's not impossible for your Majesty to proclaim himself emperor now, but it will definitely attract troops from the Qin State. Qin Wang Xiao Yuan also wants to be an emperor. How can he tolerate a person who wants to be an emperor?" Someone else is proclaiming himself emperor."
"After the Civil War, the military strength of the Qin Army has not suffered much damage. If the war starts at this time, our country may not be able to win. But if we develop peacefully for three years, by then, our border defense military will be perfect and our country will be stable, the Qin Army will always be Only if we cannot take another step eastward will the king's imperial legacy be stable and long-lasting."
He was actually right. In recent years, Lingguo has gone through countless battles, big and small, and it can be said that it has never stopped. It absolutely needs to rest and recuperate after the war.
Once King Ling proclaims himself emperor, Xiao Yuan will definitely use troops, because not using soldiers is equivalent to recognizing King Ling's status as emperor.
Cheng Ping's advice was very clear. After it was completely stabilized, the spiritual realm was ensured, and the Qin army was not afraid of advancing eastward before proclaiming the emperor.
After hearing this, King Ling could only take a deep breath, acquiesced to his advice, and said helplessly: "In that case, let's make peace with Qin first. Mr. Cheng, please work hard and go on my behalf." A trip to the capital of Qin to meet with the King of Qin."
"I accept the order." Cheng Ping bowed his hands and saluted.
Lingguo does not want to start a war now, which is exactly what Xiao Yuan wants. Similarly, he is not willing to fight now.
This is the first major event that happened in Lingguo.
The second thing is the new head of the intelligence agency Murong Hongye.
Murong Hongye, the eldest son of Murong from the Dongling clan, had planned assassinations many times. His name was somewhat feminine, and he was also very feminine.
However, after taking office, he summoned middle- and high-level personnel and released bold words, claiming to penetrate into the enemy's interior and make them invisible in the future battlefield, completely disintegrating the Qin army's military intelligence.
His plan has been implemented for a long time, using various energies, and the effect is very remarkable. However, the secret competition between the two sides for espionage has never stopped. This secret information was quickly discovered by Qinzhou.
Just as Cheng Ping, minister of the Ling Kingdom, left for the capital of Qin, a secret letter reached Lin Chu.
This is a top-secret letter from someone inside the Hidden Spirit Army’s military intelligence, which came through some channel:
The enemy has infiltrated our side and is among the five generals. We hope that the general must eliminate him, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
After receiving this secret letter, Lin Chu was shocked. Without daring to delay, he immediately entered the palace and asked to see Xiao Yuan.
Because the letter mentioned five officers, but I didn’t know who they were, and these five people were all of relatively low military rank.
In the study room of the Qin Palace, Lin Chu presented the secret letter and explained it.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly after reading it: "Is the information reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable." Lin Chu said: "I have formulated two plans. First, since among these five officials, there are those from Lingguo who are responsible, then all of them will be executed secretly."
"No." Xiao Yuan decisively objected: "These five people have all made great contributions. Among them, there are heroes of the country and more capable generals. If they all died unjustly because of a small act, it would be equivalent to the military plane committing suicide." It is not our Qin army's luck to have an arm cut off, but it is what the enemy wants to see."
"What the king said is absolutely true." In fact, Lin Chu also thought the same. After hearing this, he immediately said: "The second plan is to lure the snake out of the hole."
"Be specific." Xiao Yuan motioned for him to continue.
Lin Chu said: "Among the five of them, there is a spy. If there is top-secret military information that is detrimental to the Ling Kingdom, he will definitely find a way to inform the Ling Army. As soon as he informs, he will be exposed."
"What you mean is that you deliberately sent a false message to these five people to observe their reactions." Xiao Yuan understood immediately.
"Your Majesty is wise." Lin Chu explained: "But before that, we need your Majesty to write an order in his own hand to mobilize the military."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, then said decisively: "Okay, I will implement your plan and make sure to eliminate the traitors."
"promise!"
Two days later, the military aircraft department.
Lin Chu prepared five small bamboo tubes, each of which contained secret orders written by Xiao Yuan himself.
In the military aircraft hall, he summoned the five officers one by one, and summoned them individually.
When he saw the first person, the latter clasped his fists and saluted. Lin Chu waved his hand and said straight to the point: "You also understand the current situation in the world. Although we have not officially fought with the Ling Kingdom, the king and the Prime Minister have been planning an attack recently. Spiritual matters, this is a secret order sent to the military headquarters, you should send it to the Qinzhou camp immediately."
As he spoke, he also took out the secret order and handed it to the latter.
The officer took it respectfully and left as ordered.
The next four people are exactly the same.
Five people received the same task, and four of them immediately went down to handle it. However, one named Zhang Dehai, after leaving the military aircraft office, in a secluded place, he calmly opened the small bamboo tube and pulled out the The secret order inside.
The secret order states that in view of the changes in the world and the recent rampant activities in Ling Kingdom, General Su Yi is now ordered to secretly mobilize his troops and horses to march to Yongping on June 8th to quickly capture Ling Land...
The content of this secret order, to put it simply, allowed Su Yi to take the lead in launching an invasion war without anyone noticing, catching the Ling Army off guard.
And the secret letter was signed with the word Xiao Yuan.
After reading this, Zhang Dehai was shocked: Ah! ? King Qin’s military mobilization! When the spirit envoy arrives in the capital of Qin, we must make peace on the surface and use troops secretly!
The value of this military intelligence, to Lingguo Xizuo, its importance needs no more elaboration.
After Zhang Dehai read it, his face changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. With trembling hands, he hurriedly rolled up the secret order and stuffed it into the small bamboo tube, without forgetting to look around nervously.
That afternoon, all five secret orders were delivered to Su Yi.
When he pulled out the secret order passed by Zhang Dehai, he looked at the small bamboo tube, then looked at the secret message, smiled slightly, and then burned all five secret orders.
Because he had already received Xiao Yuan's letter.
Of course, in order to cooperate with this action of the Military Aircraft Department, the military department still needs to take some superficial actions.
