Gossip plans for the third day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The main city of the Kingdom of Jin, in front of the city gate.
The rain had stopped last night, and although it was morning now, because it was summer and the temperature at night was not low, the ground was almost dry.
The monarch rode on a war horse, wearing red armor, and carrying the heavy sword that could not be held at the sight of his back, and a kind of arrogant momentum made the people around him unconsciously dare not look at him.
Behind the monarch was an army of 30,000 heavily armed, dressed in armor, some with swords at their waists, some with spears and shields on their backs, and some with bows and arrows.
There were not many cavalry, at least in proportion to the whole army, and only a small part of the cavalry. But it's no wonder that even Datang doesn't have a mature system for the use of cavalry.
Nowadays, the cavalry is not very useful, most of the time it is only used to disrupt the enemy formation, or for reconnaissance, and rarely uses cavalry on the main battlefield.
The monarch led his army to the war, and the Jin kingdom was temporarily transferred to his son. The monarch was not worried about what his son would be able to do, because most of the soldiers had been taken away by the monarch, who had the power to do so.
The prince alone has neither military power nor political power, and he has no chance to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne. can only take advantage of the monarch's expedition in the past few days, sit on the throne, and live a good life as a monarch.
The monarch bowed to all the soldiers on horseback, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of enthusiasm.
"Soldiers, you are about to fight the enemy, and you must overcome it, or you will die, and fate has compelled you to fight, and it now stands before you. If you overcome, you will get the maximum reward you have been looking forward to. All we have to do is rely on bravery to regain the wealth and dignity that the enemy has taken away from us, and take up arms to win this rich reward. ”
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
The monarch's impassioned pre-battle speech boosted the morale of the soldiers, and one by one they took out their weapons, raised them and lowered them, raised them and put them down, and the cycle went on and on to express their determination to win.
"Martial arts are in the sky, armor is in the body, and meritorious deeds are under the feet. Hold the enemy in the palm of your hand at all times and start fighting. If you are a man, show your man's momentum, and don't let the enemy teach you what it is like to fail! If you die, you live, and if you are lucky, you will die!"
"If you die, you live, and if you are lucky, you die!"
"The whole army obeys the order!
To the sound of trumpets and drums, the army set off in a mighty manner, and the footsteps of the soldiers became the loudest sound in the world, and every step seemed to crush the ground.
In the forest not far away, Xingzhe stood under the tree and nibbled on an apple, looking at everything that was happening below, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Overseer, your plan succeeded?"
Lin Xiao looked at the dense soldiers below and looked at Xingzhe in disbelief.
“OF COURSE!”
"Is there a new dish in your hometown? How does it taste? Is it delicious? What kind of shreds is baked silk?"
Xingzhe got carried away again.
"That's right, this is a special food in our hometown, it is the favorite dish of the Gentiles, and every Gentile will be reluctant to leave after eating, it is very, very delicious. ”
Xingzhe couldn't think of any good excuse anyway, so my sister directly followed what Lin Xiao said, and fooled the past first.
"It's very delicious when you hear the name, I must go to your hometown in the future, how can there be so many delicious foods that I have never heard of, it is simply a paradise on earth." ”
Xingzhe stretched and yawned. He didn't sleep well last night, because Lin Xiao didn't know what was going on, and suddenly started snoring.
Even if he snored, he was still holding Xingzhe and pressing Xingzhe's head, so he had to snore at Xingzhe's ears, so Xingzhe didn't sleep well all night.
"Overseer, you didn't get a good night's rest last night, did you?"
Lin Xiao asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can sleep, but suddenly I started to get sleepy again, but it's okay, let's hurry up and prepare, we can go back." ”
Lin Xiao quickly began to pack his things, looking more anxious than Xingzhe to go back.
"Overseer, what kind of strategy did you use, and why did the king of the Jin Kingdom suddenly lead the army to attack Dali in defiance of the alliance agreement?"
Lin Xiao didn't know what was going on from beginning to end, everything went according to Xingzhe's expectations, which made Lin Xiao full of curiosity.
"It's not that the monarch of this Jin country used to have a very beautiful wife, and then his wife was slept with by the monarch of Dali. But at that time, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom had nothing to do with Dali, so he could only suppress this matter. I didn't do anything else, I just brought this old thing back to the table. ”
Lin Xiao nodded and thought for a moment.
"After this matter spread, the monarch of the Jin State couldn't bear the pressure from the people, so he had no choice but to send troops to attack Dali, wanting to save face, right?"
"That's right, that's the power of gossip, that's the power of public opinion. Don't underestimate the power of public opinion, many people choose to end their lives because they can't bear public opinion. So, don't underestimate any kind of insignificant power. Mass production determines qualitative change, water droplets wear stones, ropes are sawed and wood is broken, thousands of miles of embankments collapse in anthills, and no matter how small the forces are gathered together, they can also knock down elephants. ”
Xingzhe talked about the big truths one by one, and Lin Xiao was in a state of confusion, listening to Xingzhe explain to him very carefully and teaching him the method of victory.
"By the way, by the way, Overseer, what did you do to let the people know about the affair between the concubine of the monarch of the Kingdom of Jin and the monarch of Dali? ”
"You slept like a dead pig at that time, and you could see ghosts. ”
"I ......"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was usually very sensitive, even if he was asleep, if someone approached him, he could feel it immediately, and wake up instantly.
It's just that because they were in a hurry that day, they were already very tired when they arrived in Jinguo, and their whole body senses were very tired, so they slept relatively deadly.
"I threw the paper with the news of the cheating wife of the monarch of the country of Jin from here to the bottom, and it was picked up by the common people who got up in the morning. Although those papers were confiscated later, the common people passed on ten, ten, hundred, more and more, more and more, and the king of the Jin State certainly couldn't bear it. ”
"But...... If it's just this level, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom won't be able to send troops to Dali, right?"
Xingzhe smiled, with a mysterious expression on his face, and said slowly in a strange tone.
"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. ”
