Chapter 578: Fan Zeng Cannot Be Eliminated Unless He Is Eliminated
Looking at the cries and fire in the Chu army's camp, Dumb clicked his lips and showed a trace of regret in his eyes.
He had just led his men and fired cold arrows to kill Yi Emperor Xiong Xin. Unfortunately, the other party's reaction was quite fast and he did not have time to kill Fan Zeng.
Without much hesitation, he turned around and left with the people. He wanted to rush back as soon as possible and pass the news back.
Soon, Dumb disappeared into the night.
A few days later, the news of Emperor Yi's death spread throughout the world!
The people of Chu were in mourning.
The overlord of Western Chu issued a royal order,
"The death of the Righteous Emperor was the result of the Qin Dynasty. The king ordered the subjects of the Great Chu to unite with the enemy and conquer Qin to avenge the Righteous Emperor!"
At this time, Zhao Lang felt a bit of toothache when he looked at Xiang Yu's order and the news from Ah-Dai.
"Master, this dumb guy is too careless in doing things. How come he was discovered?"
Nu frowned and said at this time.
After the current news comes out, it is conceivable that it will have some bad effects on their actions.
Although Emperor Yi only had a false name, he still had an influence on the people of Da Chu.
Just look at the other kings of the Six Kingdoms, whether they are on Zhao Lang's side or on Xiang's side, they are basically just decorations now.
No one cares about them anymore.
However, both sides try their best not to kill if they can.
That's why.
Zhao Lang shook his head at this time and said,
"Dumb and the others should not have been exposed. Otherwise, this 'fan' of spider webs should have been completely destroyed by now."
Dumb’s position is still very important.
The slave asked doubtfully,
"Then why do they know it was us."
Zhao Lang did not answer directly at this time, but looked aside to Chen Ping, who had just arrived in the past few days.
Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said,
"Chief, no matter who killed the Righteous Emperor, with Fan Zeng's intelligence, he will put this matter on our shoulders."
"For them, that's the best thing to do."
In fact, Chen Ping did not agree with killing Emperor Yi, because if the other party was alive, it would be more likely to drive a wedge between the two parties.
Unfortunately, when he arrived at Yun Mengze, Zhao Lang's order had already been sent out.
He didn't mention it again.
This kind of opposition afterwards is the easiest way to offend people.
Zhao Lang immediately nodded in agreement, clicked his lips, and said helplessly,
"These people are really messing up."
This person was indeed killed by Ah-Dai, but Ah-Dai also repaid him. Besides them, there were a group of people.
It should be Xiang Yu's manpower.
"Anyway, it's done,"
Zhao Lang waved his hand and smelled to Chen Ping,
"Is there any way to fight back?"
Chen Ping already had a plan in mind at this time and quickly replied,
"Chief, even though the Xiang family now says that we killed the Righteous Emperor."
"But we can also say that this Righteous Emperor was Xiang Yu who killed the other party for the throne."
"You are now the leader of Confucian scholars in the world. When it comes to publicity, who can be better than us?"
"In just half a year, this matter will be placed on the Xiang family."
Zhao Lang also smiled. Indeed, when it comes to propaganda, who can beat Confucianism?
But he has an even better way.
"Okay, it's up to you to make arrangements for the Confucian scholars,"
Zhao Lang said at this time,
"I will ask someone to give you some paper with Xiang's crimes printed on it. Just give it to the Confucian scholars."
"Tell them, these papers, the better they promote it, the more these papers will come out."
Hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Paper, he only knew about it.
Things that can be used to write are extremely precious.
Kong Jia, the former Confucian leader, relied on this thing to convince other Confucian scholars.
Zhao Lang ascended to the position of Confucian leader in one fell swoop.
It’s just that there aren’t many of them now.
And if Zhao Lang printed Xiang's crime on this paper, all the Confucian scholars in Chu would go crazy just to see this paper.
In this case,
"Chief, if this is the case, then as soon as the paper is produced, within two months, no, within a month, this news will be spread by all the Confucian scholars in Chu!"
He still took into account the time it took to make the paper.
Zhao Lang smiled and said,
"Thousands of these can be produced in two days."
He had handed over the techniques of papermaking and movable type printing to the Mohists.
Now is the time to show off your power!
Chen Ping couldn't help but swallowed when he heard this number.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lang was heard saying to Chen Sheng who was rushing back from the side,
"Chen Sheng, follow what you just said and use rumors to spread it among the people."
This paper is aimed at the upper class nobility of Da Chu.
But among the common people, rumors are the best way.
Even in his previous life, few people believed the official statement, but rumors and the like spread quickly.
"Yes, chief."
Chen Sheng quickly replied, and then reported back,
"Chief, as per your instructions, all the farmers have gathered."
"Excluding the small groups of troops scattered throughout the Chu region, there are still 30,000 men who can fight."
Of course, these 30,000 people are not many, but for Yun Mengze, it is already the limit.
Zhao Lang thought for a moment and said,
"We don't need so many people. Let 10,000 people go back to the fields and defend Yunmengze."
"Ten thousand people will join Chu Di's small team to increase the harassment of Chu Di."
"The other ten thousand are coming with us."
Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment. You must know the news they heard.
The Xiang family has regrouped an army of over 200,000 this time!
They are gathering towards Pengcheng and trying to counterattack.
The Qin army plus Han, Qi and Wei totaled less than 100,000.
He finally managed to gather 30,000 people, so how could he just say he didn't want them?
"leader..."
Chen Sheng wanted to persuade him again, so Zhao Lang ordered,
"Follow the order."
Watching Zhao Lang give out the orders one by one.
Chen Ping on the side suddenly felt that this war with the Xiang family was completely different from the past.
Zhao Lang's arrangement is already very clear.
Kill Emperor Yi to destroy the morale of the Chu army.
Small groups of troops ravaged the Chu army's rear, disrupting the Chu army's material support capabilities.
Then use grain and grass to harm the people of Chu.
When these aspects break out together, that is when the Chu army will be defeated!
Once the Chu army is defeated, without military morale, supplies, and popular support, the Chu army will have no chance to struggle!
The decisive factor in this war is no longer on the frontal battlefield!
Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but change his eyes when he looked at Zhao Lang.
Their Confucian leader is so cunning...intelligent that he will still be the emperor of Qin in the future. He doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for Confucianism?
Zhao Lang seemed to notice his gaze at this time, looked at him, and then said,
"Now the arrangements for the Chu army are almost complete."
"Now there is a thorny issue."
"Fan Zeng cannot be eliminated. What can you do?"
