"… The weather in Beiyuan is too cold. It's only the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. The capital city of Beiyuan has been covered in snow for two months. The snow in Xue City has reached its ankles. Although our soldiers are not afraid of the cold and heat, the weather is bad and it's not suitable to fight. I think, since the aristocrats of Beiyuan have created such good psychological conditions for us, why not use this as a breakthrough? Now Beiyuan is a dam in danger. We only need to find their weakest point and give them a fatal blow. Even if we don't do anything, they will collapse on their own … "
The first step was to attack conspiracies, then to attack friends, then to attack soldiers, and finally to attack the city.
If they could conquer Beiyuan with the least loss of public opinion, why would Jiang Pengji let the soldiers take the risk and send troops?
The weather conditions in Beiyuan were too bad.
Even if the soldiers of Beiyuan were vulnerable, they had lived here all year round and were far more adaptable to the climate than them.
Jiang Pengji was fighting in an away game. Of course, she was at a disadvantage in terms of water and soil. If the soldiers caused a widespread epidemic because of physical discomfort, it would give the enemy a chance to fight back. Not to mention whether the enemy could seize the opportunity, Jiang Pengji should not have made such a fatal mistake.
Qiguan Rang said, "My lord and I have the same idea, but …"
Jiang Pengji asked, "But what?"
Qiguan Rang made a gesture of apology. Before Jiang Pengji arrived, he was too ruthless in dealing with the refugees of Beiyuan. If Beiyuan used this to bewitch the people and make them want to fight to the death … Even if the possibility was small, it was Qiguan Rang who gave the enemy something to use against him.
Jiang Pengji exempted him from apologizing. "How can you be blamed for this? You did nothing wrong. If it were me, I wouldn't have done it better than you. "
Qiguan Rang did not kill all the refugees as soon as he arrived. The refugees who committed the crime for the first time were all given dry food and persuaded.
If this was considered ruthless, what else could Jiang Pengji say?
She said, "Wenzheng, why don't you listen to my plan?"
Qiguan Rang listened attentively and said respectfully, "My lord, please speak."
Jiang Pengji tapped her finger on the table. "Last night, I sent someone to ask the people of Beiyuan who fled with Jiqing. Most of them had the impression of 'war, death, plague, and barrenness' about Dongqing and the other three countries. They were extremely certain …"
Ma Xiu was not fooled. He was also one of the few people who believed that the situation in Dongqing was stable, but he was not sure to what extent.
Qiguan Rang said, "This is exactly what I want to tell you, my lord. In order to prevent the people from escaping through the border, Beiyuan not only strictly guards the border and cruelly kills the people who try to escape, but also sends people to fool the people from time to time and publicize some groundless human tragedies …"
Jiang Pengji sneered. "For example, I killed a lot of people, exploited and oppressed the people, and made the land barren and full of bones?"
Qiguan Rang said helplessly, "The words that they spread are much harsher than the lord's. They also fabricate more false content."
Killing people was still considered polite. Cannibalism, eating children, bathing in women's blood to maintain beauty, kidnapping pregnant women to perform a C-section for fun, and having three thousand beautiful men and three thousand beautiful women, with no taboo between men and women, engaging in open-air nude debauchery …
All in all, it seemed that his lord wanted a copy of everything that King Zhou, who had been slandered like a dog, had done in the Investiture of the Gods.
Not only did she have to copy, but she also had to come up with new ideas, and new ideas had to be innovated. In short, she had to be as slandered as possible.
Qiguan Rang deeply suspected that the people in Beiyuan who were engaged in the Internet Water Army were fans of the Investiture of the Gods.
While they eagerly followed the story of Wanzhou, they racked their brains to frame their lord, saying that the world was a big melting pot.
Only in this way would the people know fear and continue to endure the hellish days on earth.
Look —
The world outside Beiyuan was like that. You would regret it if you went there. It was better to stay in Beiyuan.
Although Beiyuan couldn't let you eat your fill, it could let you drag out an ignoble existence.
As one of the targets of slander, Qiguan Rang only wanted to smash the heads of these idiots. How could they slander his lord?
When Qiguan Rang first saw this information, he had secretly thought about capturing them in the future and cutting off their dog paws with a knife.
"That's all they can do. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tormented Beiyuan like this." Jiang Pengji sneered. "They say that I'm muddle-headed, tyrannical, and repulsive, but there are still people who can't bear it and take the risk to flee. It shows how much they've gone overboard."
Qiguan Rang gently waved his feather fan and smiled. His thoughts were the same as his lord's.
Another official asked, "My lord, do you want the people of Beiyuan to know the real Dongqing?"
Jiang Pengji said, "If we don't let them know how good the people of Dongqing are living, how will they know that they've been fooled?"
The more the aristocrats of Beiyuan squeezed the people, the stronger the backlash.
"But … if the people flee here one after another, should we accept them or not?"
Whether they accept them or not, it didn't seem right.
Jiang Pengji said matter-of-factly, "No! Why should we accept them? Is it fun to move these days? Or is it not troublesome to move across borders? We're not going to guide the people of Beiyuan to seek refuge in Dongqing, nor are we going to drag their families away from their homeland. We want to let them know that even if Beiyuan changes its master, they can still live as well as the people of Dongqing. We also want them to know that their lives are even worse than the people who wander from place to place in troubled times. By the way, we should send someone to bribe the general who guards the border. It should work. "
"The general who guards the border? Bribe that person? That general has a very good reputation among the martial artists. I'm afraid it won't be easy to persuade him. "
Although bribing the enemy general was normal, it also depended on the situation.
If they met a loyal general, bribing him would only bring disgrace upon themselves. If they were unlucky, they might even fall into the enemy's trap.
Jiang Pengji sneered. "If he's really capable, how can he not even keep an eye on a group of refugees? I originally thought that person was greedy and lazy. He didn't care about these refugees and was too lazy to carry out the order issued by the royal family of Beiyuan to kill the people who fled. Now that I look at it, it's not entirely true. Perhaps this general still has some conscience, so he turned a blind eye to it and gave the refugees a way out … "
If it was greed and dereliction of duty, it could be bribed with money.
By then, if the public opinion fermented well, Jiang Pengji could collude with the general to open the door and create the halo of a king's teacher.
If it was someone with a conscience that had not been extinguished, then it would be even better. He would be moved by emotion and reason, and he would be moved by the righteousness of the world. Then, he would be tempted by benefits, and he would not have any worries after he sought refuge with them. This would also achieve the best effect.
Of course, if the general was unmoved by force or persuasion, Jiang Pengji could only use force to attack.
Who gave the old, weak, and disabled soldiers of Beiyuan the courage to think that they could guard this stupid pass?
"I don't deny that there is eternal loyalty in this world, but it's just the tip of a phoenix's feather."
