419: Only King Chenliu was injured and the world was reached
"What did you say? Say it again?"
The crazy King Chenliu stepped forward and grabbed Qin Jackal's collar. He stared angrily, his eyes bulged, and the veins in his hands popped out. He was on the verge of losing control.
The jackal of Qin did not dare to look into King Chenliu's eyes. He lowered his head and repeated: "Your Majesty, the entire army of two million was wiped out overnight..."
Qin Jack felt that he was really unlucky. He had received a message from King Chenliu and was on his way back when he received the news that the Ming army had been completely wiped out.
At that time, he scoffed and did not believe the news was true.
Even though King Chenliu's army is not the direct army of the Qin Dynasty, and is even a little short of food and clothing, the existing equipment is the best in the Qin Dynasty, ahead of other countries, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
With the current dilapidated combat power of the Ming army, it would not be a problem for these two million people to stand up to three times as many enemies.
So when he received the news, Qin Jack felt that someone must have spread the news falsely in order to disturb the people's hearts and slander King Chenliu's reputation.
So he privately decided to postpone his return to Beijing and investigate in person, preparing to catch the real culprit who spread the false news and bring him back to Chongyang City to atone for his sins.
But when he arrived at the border of the Ming Dynasty and found the battlefield of King Chen Liu's two million troops and the Ming Dynasty army, he was petrified on the spot.
The news... turned out to be true, King Chenliu's two million army was completely wiped out.
Out of a total of two million people, only a few hundred stragglers escaped, and these deserters did not dare to go back because they were afraid of King Chen Liu's military laws. They either ran away or took the initiative to defect to the Ming Dynasty, which almost made Qin Jackal angry to death on the spot.
If it weren't for Qin Jackal's trip, King Chenliu would still be in the dark about this news!
"Why is this happening? Ah? Tell me, why is this happening?"
King Chenliu couldn't accept the news. He spent all his money to raise these two hundred troops. Now that the whole army has been wiped out, his throne is in name only.
Not only that, without these two million strong men, his fiefdom would be in trouble with insufficient personnel for at least the next twenty years.
Grain production is reduced, the population is greatly reduced, and the number of newborns will not increase for at least ten years.
This does not include the turmoil that would occur in families who lost their children. If these were included, then King Chenliu would have simply suffered a disaster this time.
Let alone fighting for the throne, the losses were so huge that it was unclear whether he could even save his life.
His fiefdom is his, but the Great Qin world belongs to the empress Ying Zhao.
Those two million troops were said to be his private army, but in fact they were also Da Qin's army.
The loss was so huge, it would be easy for the empress to kill him directly after leaving seclusion.
Qin Jackal took a step back, knelt down on one knee and said: "Please calm down, Your Majesty. Now that things have happened, what we should be thinking about is how to save it. Now that the news has not been sent back to Da Qin, what should we do..."
Qin Jackal is very decisive. He knows that the situation cannot be saved, so he will worry about what happened because it is meaningless.
Things have priorities, and the top priority is to find a way to block the news. Before the news reaches Da Qin, make all preparations to deal with it, either take the initiative, or suppress the news, instead of being incompetent and furious here.
"Calm down?"
Bang...
King Chen Liu kicked Qin Jackal on the shoulder and kicked him away.
Bang...
Gacha...
Qin Jackal hit the wooden door hard, causing it to break. Qin Jackal's shoulders also collapsed obviously, making a "creak" sound like broken bones.
Qin Jackal was already injured. The poison in his body was only temporarily suppressed and had not been detoxified. He was not prepared for this kick and immediately showed a mask of pain.
A mouthful of black blood gushed out from Qin Jackal's throat. In order not to behave inappropriately in front of King Chen Liu, he endured it forcefully.
"My king's army of two million people disappeared in such a mysterious way. You don't even know what the situation is, and you still ask me to calm down? Tell me, how can I calm down my anger? How can I swallow this breath?"
?”
King Chenliu glared at Qin Jackal. He was full of murderous aura and looked like he wanted to eat people.
"Why don't you tell me quickly, what's going on?"
King Chen Liu must ask clearly. This is also the last glimmer of hope in his heart. He thought that if he couldn't explain clearly, maybe it was misinformation or fake news?
Seeing this, Qin Jackal had no choice but to suppress his injuries and explained in a trembling voice: "Go back to the prince, according to the investigation by my subordinates... The Ming Dynasty somehow found out about your shortage of military funds, and then they sent experts to sneak into our army to spread the news...
"
For an army, why do they sacrifice their lives? Isn't it just to have a full meal and a future?
The news that an army has no military spending spreads among the military, which can definitely shake the morale of the army.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were so good at demagoguery. They first said there was no military spending to sway the morale of the army, and then they sent low-level sergeants from King Chenliu's army to brainwash and influence others.
They said that they have no military expenses while they are alive, and if they die, they may not even get pensions.
Not only will their families not receive benefits, but their lives will become even more difficult because of their deaths.
As soon as this kind of brainwashing came out, it exploded directly in King Chenliu's army like a plague and spread rapidly.
If this kind of thing is spread smoothly, no one will believe it, and even if they do, it won't have much impact.
But who knew that King Chenliu's army was really short of money, and even lacked food to the point where they couldn't even eat enough for one meal a day.
It's freezing cold tomorrow, and King Chenliu's army doesn't have enough to eat and doesn't have enough to wear.
The military uniforms that were supposed to arrive early were nowhere to be seen.
Under such circumstances, the morale of the army was already weak, and coupled with Ming's instigation, the morale of the army was completely messed up.
Seeing that a mutiny was about to occur, the leading generals, instigated by their military advisors, decided to transfer the conflict outward and directly go to war with the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty also had this intention, so he directly found the person with the sharpest tongue and cursed the leading general during the battle.
Not only did he scold the leading generals of the Qin Dynasty until he was dizzy, but he also brainwashed the Qin army while scolding them, saying that they lacked food and clothing, and their death was in vain. It was better to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and get a better future...
Anyway, if you complain, the sergeant will have no intention of fighting, and the general will lose his mind.
After spraying the Ming soldiers, they ran away, and the general who was so angry that he lost his head chased after him. He was directly lured by the Ming army to the mouth of the gourd where he was in a dilemma.
Then, the ambushing Ming army swarmed up and destroyed the captured army of King Chenliu without any effort.
As for the generals of King Chenliu's army, Qin Jackal did not dare to tell King Chenliu that the generals surrendered the next day and the Ming Dynasty was granted the title of "The Marquis of Killing Chen".
Of course, two hundred troops cannot be on the same battlefield, but the methods are similar. In just two days and one night, all two million troops were lost.
Qin Jackal is also a talented person. Under such circumstances, he can still roughly investigate the matter.
