Chapter 83(1/2)
As soon as the Chu soldiers left, Zhang Beichen stepped forward to check on Ying Yin's injuries.
Her whole body was soaked in blood and her body was completely covered with blood. There was a blood hole in her chest. If Xiong Zhitong hadn't knocked her away, she would be dead now.
Even so, Ying Yin is already so angry that he may die at any time!
A female Black Dragon Guard immediately bandaged up Ying Yin's body. The others looked at Zhang Beichen angrily. If it weren't for Zhang Beichen, King Qin would not have been so seriously injured.
Zhang Beichen grabbed Ying Yinren's hand and asked, "Why is this happening?"
Ying Yin gasped, then forced out a smile and said: "Zhang...Zhang Beichen, you...don't forget!"
She spat out another mouthful of blood and said: "You are still a subject of Qin. I...I am the king of Qin, and I must...protect...protect..."
Before she could finish her words, she fainted.
"Your Majesty!" the Black Dragon Guards exclaimed.
"Send your Majesty back quickly!" The Black Dragon Guards didn't care about anything else and quickly sent Ying Yin back for treatment.
Zhang Beichen was silent for a long time. Ying Yin was right. She had kept Zhang Beichen's official position. So far, the Qin State has not had a new prime minister.
"Dad, we owe her a life." Wei Bi stepped forward and said.
"Let's go." Zhang Beichen picked up Ying Yin's broken sword from the ground.
"Where to go?"
"Go back to Qin!"
…
[After receiving treatment, Ying Yin is temporarily out of danger, but he is still unconscious.]
Zhang Beichen also returned to Qin. When the Qin army generals learned of this, they all demanded that Zhang Beichen be punished.
Ying Ge found Zhang Beichen, handed over his tiger talisman, and said: "Sir, please take over the military power and take charge of the Qin army!"
Zhang Beichen shook his head and said: "I am not a Qin general now, so I can't do this."
Ying Ge took out a letter and said: "Before this expedition, your Majesty had already given a secret order!"
"Your Majesty said that if she dies in battle, I will hand over the position of Lord Qin to you and let you protect the people of Qin."
"It was only after my lord left that you had no choice but to order me to take over the power. Ying Ge knew that he was unable to stop the Chu army, so he asked your lord to take over the military power and repel the Chu army!"
Zhang Beichen read the letter and found that it was indeed written by Yin Yin himself.
He sighed. Originally, he had planned to spend his whole life in this simulation. But now, Ying Yin worked hard to save himself and his daughter.
He still had to return this favor.
"That's all, then I'll take care of it for the time being. When your Majesty wakes up, I'll exchange it with her," Zhang Beichen said.
"The Prime Minister is wise!" Ying Ge shouted immediately.
…
[You take over the military power and check the Qin army's changing situation. At this time, the Qin army's fighting spirit is low, its combat effectiveness is weak, and it is not suitable for fighting.]
Now that he has decided to do something, Zhang Beichen must do it well.
He began to make military deployments.
[You order the soldiers to defend the wall and recharge their batteries to avoid a decisive battle. The Chu army will not be able to break the city for a while and will have to siege the city with a large army.]
…
"Dad, why don't we go out to fight? Couldn't the dark cloud formation that dad taught me be able to stop King Chu from charging into the formation?" Wei Bi asked.
"No." Zhang Beichen shook his head and said: "Now the morale of the Qin army is low and it is impossible to form a solid military formation. Once the King of Chu charges the formation, the formation will be broken."
"It has been more than a year since the Chu army's expedition, and the supply of food and grass is already running low. We should continue to drag it out to consume the Chu army's fighting spirit and food and grass."
"Father, I understand." Wei Bi said, "We have Qin at our back and have a supply of food and grass. As long as we wait until the Chu army is exhausted, we will have a chance to attack."
…
[The morale of the soldiers of the Qin army was low, so you improved the "Taju" sport, changed it to Cuju, and promoted it in the army. Cuju was very popular among the soldiers, and the soldiers exercised their bodies and improved their will.]
"We will definitely be unable to defeat the Chu army now. The Chu army is making siege equipment. When they are ready, they will not be able to defend themselves." Zhang Beichen thought about how to defeat the enemy.
Now the morale of the enemy army is strong. There is a Martial Saint, plus a hundred thousand Overlord troops, plus a Military Semi-Saint! There are also 400,000 Chu troops. This is almost a military force that can sweep the world!
"If you want the enemy to retreat, you can only use alienation tactics!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself.
He has used this tactic of alienation many times, but it is very effective every time. Because it is difficult to completely trust between people!
Even if it has been recorded countless times in history books, latecomers will still fall into the trap! No matter how many hundreds or thousands of years pass, it will be the same.
[You find the surrendered generals of the Chu army and inquire about it. There are many surrendered generals and soldiers from other countries in the Chu army. The king of Chu does not trust them. Even if these surrendered generals and soldiers have made military exploits, they will not receive corresponding rewards. Chu
The king's teacher Fan Lue often educated the king of Chu in front of everyone and issued royal orders on his behalf. The king of Chu was also dissatisfied with him.]
[You ask people to take out gold and silver and secretly give them to the soldiers of the Chu army, so that they can spread rumors that the generals are dissatisfied with the King of Chu and want to rebel.]
Zhang Beichen did not spread bad words about Fan Lue at the beginning, because it would be too obvious, and the King of Chu would definitely realize that this was a stratagem to alienate her.
…
"Your Majesty, there have been a lot of rumors in the army recently. Generals Xinnan, Tian E and other generals have secret contacts with the Qin army." The subordinate handed over the letter of complaint.
"Hmph!" Xiong Zhitong snorted coldly, "This must be Zhang Beichen's trick! This man likes to use conspiracy and tricks, so don't worry about this kind of thing."
"yes!"
…
[Rumors continue to spread. You deliberately sent a messenger to the Chu camp. The letter said that you asked Xinnan, Tian E and others to rebel. After the incident is completed, the King of Qin will grant them officials and titles. The messenger was intercepted by the Chu army and presented to the King of Chu.
.】Zhang Beichen is still operating.
…
Xiong Zhitong looked at the letter with some doubts in his heart.
This is probably Zhang Beichen's plan to alienate each other, but then again, what if it's true?
"I'd rather believe it exists than believe it doesn't exist!" Xiong Zhitong thought to himself.
[You ordered the transfer of various generals, and appointed your cronies in the main positions. The generals were demoted, and they were all dissatisfied.]
In the military tent, Fan Lue came angrily.
When he saw Xiong Zhitong, he scolded: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists! If you do this, how can we win?"
At this time, there were other generals present in the military account.
A general scolded: "Fan Lue, why did you talk to the king?"
Fan Lue glanced at him and said, "I am the king's teacher, do you have the right to speak here?"
"Okay, stop arguing." Xiong Zhitong was also unhappy, but he still held it back and said, "The teacher doesn't understand the situation either."
[You told me about the secret letter, and Fan Lue thought it was a plot by the enemy to alienate you. He asked you to reinstate those generals, but you refused.]
Xiong Zhitong's dissatisfaction with Fan Lue has reached its extreme now. He is the King of Chu!
I respect him because he is my teacher. But this does not mean that he can be superior to me!
[You ordered Fan Lue to lead troops to attack the city, and the Qin army defended it to the death. Fan Lue's attack on the city failed, so he temporarily withdrew his troops.]
[Rumors spread in the army that Fan Lue deliberately delayed the opportunity to seize power in the army and prepare for the Fan family's rebellion. 】
Xiong Zhitong now had to suspect that Fan Lue's behavior was indeed suspicious.
Moreover, he came from a noble family in Chu State. Since he became his teacher, he has used his power to benefit the family many times.
Fan Lue is old and it is unlikely that he will rebel for his own sake. But what about his family? What if his son or grandson wants to rebel and become the king of Chu?
Besides, even if he was asked to attack the city, he wouldn't be able to defeat it.
Thinking of this, Xiong Zhitong decided to let Fan Lue go back and attack the city himself.
[You issue an order to allow Fan Lue to return home on the grounds that the rear is unstable.]
…
"I have devoted my life to King Chu's hegemony, but I never expected to end up like this!" Fan Lue sighed up to the sky after learning King Chu's will.
…
[Fan Lue returned to China by car, but due to depression, his old illness relapsed and died of the disease only half a month later.]
Zhang Beichen felt happy when he learned that Fan Lue was dead.
The King of Chu was not good at the art of war. Without the semi-sage Fan Lue, a military strategist, it would be much easier to deal with the King of Chu.
[Ying Ge and others requested to send troops, but you refused. 】
Zhang Beichen is still waiting.
[The Chu army attacked the city several times but was blocked. Due to the shortage of food and grass, morale was low. The King of Chu decided to withdraw his troops.]
"Withdraw the troops? Come when you want, leave when you want?" Zhang Beichen finally waited for the opportunity. Now that the Chu army was exhausted, and due to the transfer of generals, internal struggles for power, low morale and combat effectiveness, it was finally time to attack.
