"Please read it, my lord."
After flirting with Wei Ci, she still had to do what she had to do.
In ancient times, wars were fought with a good reason. In layman's terms, there had to be a legitimate reason to start a war.
With a reason, the officials had to announce it to the world.
Jiang Pengji handed the matter of the declaration to Qiguan Rang and became a hands-off boss.
It was fine for her to speak in the vernacular, but it was difficult for her to write in classical Chinese.
The literati of ancient times did not use vulgarities when they scolded others. They had to scold in a refined and reserved manner, yet they had to scold to their heart's content.
Qiguan Rang did not disappoint her. This declaration seemed to explode in a small universe, and it was written extremely viciously. The entire declaration had more than a thousand words. Every word was painful, and every sentence was heart-wrenching. Every piece of incriminating information had concrete evidence. From the crime to the accusation, no one could refute it. The viciousness made it seem as if it wanted to dig out the graves of 18 generations of people's ancestors. It made one want to vomit blood. Jiang Pengji liked it.
Jiang Pengji was very satisfied. The audience in the streaming room ate melons while watching the translation by the master in the streaming room.
After reading it, everyone expressed that the declaration seemed very ordinary.
Yida Chewgum: "Although I like Qiguan Rang very much, this declaration is really ordinary. At least I won't be angry when I read it."
Xingxing Caihong Tang: "I second the comment above. He won't be beaten up by Qiguan Rang's fans, will he?"
Snoopy: "The literary talent of the declaration is worthy of recognition, but the content … I don't think it will anger Xu Bei. Streamer, you need a Chen Linda. " It was said that Chen Linda's declaration made Old Cao break out in a cold sweat after reading it. His head was so swollen that it stopped hurting.
The audience expressed that they were not affected at all.
Even a ten-year-old kid on their side could win this level of scolding.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Consider the context of the era. Do you think Qiguan Rang and the rest scolded people continuously, cursing the other party's parents and 18 generations of ancestors? For example, NMB, CNMB, WCNMB? The level of the declaration was already ruthless enough.
The audience in the streaming room lived in an era of information explosion. The internet was a virtual platform. People could vent their inner darkness to their heart's content, cursing other people's female relatives for no reason. In ancient times, there were naturally people who were full of vulgarities. However, for scholars like Qiguan Rang, who had been well-read since young, it was probably more difficult for them to open their mouths and say "motherf * cker" than for the streamer to unify Jiuzhou.
"If this declaration of war is issued, Xu Bei will definitely bear a grudge against Wen Zheng."
Jiang Pengji teased him with a smile, but Qiguan Rang did not budge.
So be it. As long as his lord didn't lose, he didn't need to be afraid of how many people would hate him.
"Alright, use this declaration of war and send it out," Jiang Pengji said. "I can already imagine Xu Bei's ashen face and the look on his face as he vomits blood."
Qiguan Rang bowed and said, "Yes."
Once the declaration was announced to the world, Xu Bei quickly received the news.
Xu Bei's reaction was more intense than Jiang Pengji had imagined. He was so angry that his chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he would stop breathing at any moment.
"Lanting, did Liu Xi really say that?"
Xu Bei extended his finger and pointed to the north. He looked as if he had suffered a great blow. Not only was his face ashen with anger, but even his breathing was labored.
"The declaration of war has already been sent out. I'm afraid it won't be long before all the feudal lords know about it."
Han Yu mercilessly stated the truth.
Xu Bei choked on his words. He was so angry that he wanted to slap the table to vent his anger, but his years of upbringing allowed him to restrain himself.
Who didn't know how to send a declaration of war? If Liu Xi dared to make the first move, don't blame him for retaliating.
His subordinates had never lost a battle of insults.
Don't be fooled by Xu Bei's tendency to value the aristocratic families and despise the poor. He didn't blindly value them. At least the aristocratic families that he valued had real capabilities.
For example, the officials in his tent were all famous scholars who had made it onto the annual evaluation list.
In terms of overall literary talent, Jiang Pengji's side was really not up to par.
While preparing for a counterattack through public opinion, she also plotted to regain her dignity.
The declaration of war had already been sent out. The arrow on the bowstring had to be fired. This battle had to be fought even if they didn't want to.
Xu Bei asked, "Liu Xi's 10,000 vanguard troops are still stationed outside Shan Wu City, right?"
Han Yu replied, "Yes."
"Find a reason to take it down. How can we allow the enemy to linger on the side of our bed? The 10,000 elites under Liu Xi's command are comparable to an ordinary army of 30,000. If we allow them to train outside Shan Wu City, I don't know how the world will ridicule me! It's better to eradicate them and give Liu Xi some warning. "
Xu Bei said angrily. At this moment, he made a decision in a very straightforward manner. There was no trace of his usual hesitation.
Han Yu replied, "Yes."
Even if they allowed the enemy's elites to linger on their own territory, they couldn't do it this way.
Qin Gong and Xu Bei had a grudge against each other for murdering their master. That fellow would definitely find an opportunity to avenge Xu Fei.
If this vanguard troop was eliminated, it could suppress Jiang Pengji's morale and boost the morale of the army. Secondly, it could give Jiang Pengji a little warning.
If there was only Qin Gong, Xu Bei's plan would have a high chance of success. The 10,000 elites might have been swallowed up.
However, besides Qin Gong, there was also Yang Si who assisted him in the vanguard.
Yang Si was not an outsider. He had interacted with Xu Bei for two years. How could he not know Xu Bei's character?
When he saw the declaration of war, he slapped his thigh.
He scolded, "What a good Qiguan Wenzheng. You scolded to your heart's content. But it's hard on these old bones of mine."
Qin Gong was shocked by him. His face was full of confusion.
Cheng Yuan asked, "What is the meaning of this, military counselor?"
Yang Si replied, "Xu Bei is the most petty person. Wenzheng used the declaration of war to scold him. He can't find trouble with the lord, so why not use us as an example? If nothing goes wrong, there will be movements in Shancheng after dark in the next two days. They will ambush our camp. This is not a place to stay for long! "
Based on his understanding of Xu Bei, this troublemaker was usually as indecisive as a young lady. When he was agitated, he was especially decisive.
The situation was tense. It was better to retreat first.
If it was a small-scale battle, 10,000 elites would definitely be enough.
However, when they had rushed to support Xu Fei, the army had not brought any extra military equipment other than rations and other necessities.
Without siege equipment, they would not be able to cause much damage to Shancheng. Instead, they would lose their lives.
A real man knew when to yield and when to stand tall. If they could win, they would fight. If they could not win, they would strategically retreat.
Yang Si thought for a moment and decided to retreat.
"The lord's army is not far from Hu County. If we retreat now, we can rendezvous with them."
Qin Gong was speechless.
At this moment, Yang Si was exceptionally glad that his lord valued the delivery of intelligence.
If this declaration of war had been sent two days later, they would not even know how they were killed by Xu Bei's schemes.
"If we retreat now, we will definitely alert Shancheng and cause them to pursue us." Qin Gong frowned and suggested, "Why don't we wait for the sky to turn dark and leave the tents and bonfires as they are? Then, we can lead the soldiers and retreat slowly. By the time they discover us, we will have already retreated far away. "
As Yang Si expected, Xu Bei gathered his troops and prepared for a night attack.
However …
They pounced on empty air!
By the time the army arrived, there was not even a shadow left, let alone a human figure.
"Yang Jing Rong!" Xu Bei's first reaction was to think of Yang Si. Instantly, he felt a toothache. "Did he smear oil on the soles of his feet?"
