Looking at the wailing and fire in the Chu camp, Dale clacked his lips, a hint of regret in his eyes.
He had just led his men and let off a cold arrow to kill the Righteous Emperor Xiong Xin, but unfortunately his opponent’s reaction was also quite quick and Fan Zeng, who hadn’t come in time to get killed, had been killed.
Without much hesitation, he turned around and left with his men, he had to get back as soon as possible and pass the news back.
Soon, Dale disappeared into the night.
A few days later, the news of the death of the Righteous Emperor spread throughout the world!
The subjects of Chu were in mourning.
The King of Western Chu issued a royal decree that
“The death of the Righteous Emperor was the work of the Great Qin. The king ordered the subjects of Great Chu to make common cause, to conquer the tyrannical Qin and avenge the death of the Righteous Emperor!”
At this moment, Zhao Long looked at the king’s decree issued by Xiang Yu, and the message sent back by Ah Dou, and felt a bit of toothache straight away.
“Master, this Dull is too careless, how come he was still found out?”
Nou said with a frown at this time.
After the news now got out, it was conceivable that it would have some bad effects on their operation.
Although the Righteous Emperor only had a false name, it still had an impact on the people of Great Chu.
Just look at the other kings of the six kingdoms, both on Zhao Lang’s side and Xiang’s side, which are now basically a mere decoration.
No one cares about them anymore.
However, both sides are also trying not to kill as much as they can.
It is for this reason.
Zhao Lang shook his head at this time and said that
“Dale and the others shouldn’t have been exposed, otherwise, this ‘fan’ of spider webs should have all been destroyed by now.”
Dale’s position was still very important.
Nu wondered.
“Then why do they know it was us who did it.”
Zhao Lang did not answer directly at this time, but looked to the side, at Chen Ping who had only arrived in the past few days.
Chen Ping pondered slightly at this time and said that
“Chief, in fact, no matter who killed this Yi Di, with Fan Zeng’s talent, he would have put this matter, on our heads.”
“For them, this is the best way.”
In fact, Chen Ping did not agree with killing the Righteous Emperor, as the other party was alive, instead, it would be better to divide the two sides.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at Yun Meng Ze, Zhao Lang’s order had already been sent out.
He did not mention it again.
This kind of after-the-fact opposition was the easiest to offend.
Zhao Lang nodded approvingly at once, clacking his lips and saying, somewhat helplessly
“These people are crooked.”
It was true that Dale had killed the man, but Dale had also reported back that there was a group of people other than them.
It should be Xiang Yu’s men.
“In any case, the deed is done,”
Zhao Lang waved his hand and sniffed at Chen Ping, the
“Is there any way to fight back?”
Chen Ping had a plan in mind by this time and quickly replied back that
“Chief, nowadays though Xiang says that this Yi Di was killed by us.”
“But we can also say that this Yi Di was killed by Xiang Yu for the sake of the emperor’s throne and killed the other side.”
“You are now the head of the Confucian students in the world, so when it comes to spouting propaganda, who can compare to us?”
“It will only take six months for this matter to be put to Xiang’s account.”
Zhao Lang also revealed a smile, indeed, in terms of propaganda, who can compare to the Confucians?
But he had an even more damaging… A good way.
“Good, on the Confucian side, you will be the one to make the arrangements,”
Zhao Lang said at this point, the
“I will have someone give you some paper with Xiang’s crimes printed on it, you just give it to those Confucian students.”
“Tell them that these papers, the better they publicize, the more these papers will be.”
Hearing this, Chen Ping couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Paper, he had only just learned about it too.
Something that could be used for writing was extremely precious.
The previous Confucian head, Kongjia, had convinced the other Confucians with this item.
It allowed Zhao Lang to ascend to the position of Confucian head in one fell swoop.
It’s just that there aren’t many of them now.
And if Zhao Lang took Xiang’s charges and printed them on this paper, in order to see this paper, then all the Confucian students in Chu would also go crazy.
In that case
“Chief, if that is the case, then as soon as the paper is produced, within two months, no, within a month, the news, will be proclaimed by all the Confucian students in the land of Chu!”
This he still considered the time it would take to produce these papers.
Zhao Lang laughed and said.
“These can be produced in two days in over a thousand sheets.”
The art of paper making and movable type printing, he had already given them to the Mo family.
Now was the time to make a splash!
Hearing this figure, Chen Ping could not help but gulp.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lang was heard saying to Chen Sheng, who had rushed back to the side, that
“Chen Sheng, follow what you just said again, and spread it among the people by way of gossip.”
This paper was aimed at the upper echelons of the nobility of Great Chu.
Whereas among the people, gossip was the best way to go.
Even in his previous life, few people believed the official story, but rumours and the like spread fast.
“Yes, chief.”
Chen Sheng quickly returned, then reported back to the
“Chief, as you ordered, all the farmers have been gathered.”
“Now excluding the small groups of troops scattered all over the Chu land, there are now 30,000 men who can fight.”
These 30,000 men were certainly not many, but for Yunmengze, it was already the limit.
Zhao Lang thought for a moment at this point and said that
“We can’t use so many people, let 10,000 people go back to the fields and get busy, and defend Yun Meng Ze in the meantime.”
“Ten thousand men will go and join up with the small group in the Chu land to increase the harassment of the Chu land.”
“The other 10,000 men will come with us.”
Chen Sheng froze slightly, knowing that they had scouted for information.
Xiang had regrouped another army of over 200,000 this time!
They were gathering towards Pengcheng in an attempt to counter-attack.
The Qin army, together with Han, Qi and Wei, was less than 100,000 strong.
He had managed to gather 30,000 men with great difficulty, how could he say no to them?
“Chief…”
Chen Sheng still wanted to persuade him further, but Zhao Lang ordered
“Follow the order.”
Watching Zhao Lang give the orders down one by one.
Chen Ping at the side suddenly felt that this war with Xiang was completely different from the past.
Zhao Lang’s layout had been very clear that
Kill Emperor Yi to break the hearts of Chu’s army.
Small groups of troops ravaged the rear of Chu’s army to disrupt its ability to support its supplies.
Then use the rations to wreak havoc on the hearts of the people of Chu.
When all these aspects explode together, that is when the Chu army will be defeated!
And once the Chu army is defeated, with no army, no supplies, and no hearts of the people, the Chu army will not have the slightest chance to struggle!
The decisive factor in this war is no longer on the frontal battlefield!
Thinking of this, Chen Ping’s gaze towards Zhao Lang couldn’t help but change a few points.
This chief of their Confucian family, so cunning… intelligent, and in the future would still be the emperor of the Great Qin, would it be a blessing or a curse for the Confucian family?
Zhao Lang seemed to have sensed his gaze at this time and looked towards him, then said that
“The arrangements for the Chu army are all pretty much arranged now.”
“Now however, there is still a tricky problem.”
“Fan Zeng is a man who cannot be eliminated, what can you do?”
