Inside Wang Ben's headquarters.

"The latest situation is this, sir, our men have already exchanged fire with the Tocharians. It's just that Chief Feng's death was a bit unexpected. A major staff officer shook his head. They notified Wang Ben as soon as possible. It's just that I was very surprised by the death of the wind forest.

"Damn the people of the Western Regions, the enemy didn't kill him, but he killed his own commander." Wang Ben scolded. For such an unlucky thing, Wang Ben has no choice, after all, they are all recruits.

"We can't fake this. Or rather, use the media to promote their glorious image. After all, such a way of dying is too undignified for a soldier. Wang Ben shook his head and said.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's not easy to do this, what will happen if you let the newspaper publish the truth?" A staff officer said worriedly.

"The face of our military, especially the army, will be very bad. Such an approach, I am worried. The staff officer said.

"If they know that one of our colonels was killed by a Western Regions sentry, I think the result will be even greater than that, and if we say that it was the Tocharians who killed him, the colonel's death would be glorious. Die great, but be killed by our own people, we can only deal with this matter secretly, we need to promote the abominability of the Tocharians at the moment, this country has too much influence on us. Especially after the behavior of our Qin people after buying this land with commercial methods, this is a serious challenge to the national prestige of Qin. We need to stir up national sentiment. Wang Ben thought for a while and said.

"Alright, sir, we need to consult with the Department of Defense and the General Staff." The staff officer said properly. The staff officer believes that it is really not worth it to do such a risky thing in this matter, but the effect after the fraud may be better. But once it is reported, the military will lose face.

Ministry of Defense of the State of Qin.

"The area is somewhat complex, and skirmishes may require more support." Meng Tian said to Wei Yu.

After careful study, Meng Tian believes that in the mountainous area, the troops need more logistical supplies, but if they are supplied by land, if the defensive troops are insufficient, it is easy to be cut off by the other party. But it may take more time for the Qin army to submit a report. Wei Yi has already seen such a report.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion means that the war can be fought, and it can be fought patiently, but the scale must be controlled, and if necessary, we can negotiate with the Tocharians, after all, they can't withstand such attrition. The Qin State hopes to let the Tocharians negotiate with us through such limited attrition. Wei Yu told Meng Tian what Shang Wen thought.

This is Shang Wen's latest idea, in his opinion, fighting in special areas, especially in mountainous areas like Afghanistan, the time will drag on longer, but if the Qin army fights quickly, it may cause great losses, because the fight is fast, there are too many troops, and the demand for logistics materials is too great, but if the scale is controlled and the time is extended, the effect will be better, the problem of Dawan is fast, and the Yueshi area is slow, because there is a big difference between the two, the Dawan area is a plain, which is conducive to the development of the cavalry troops of the Qin army, The Yueshi region is different, and there are too many restrictions.

"Hmm. If that's the case, then the Prime Minister's Office is doing the right thing. Meng Tian said.

"That's all for now, and there's a very tricky one." Wei Yu said and handed Meng Tian a report.

"This is the content of a telegram from Wang Ben, which says that the people of the Western Regions have killed one of our colonel commanders, and that we Tocharians have exchanged fire. That's the way it is. Wang Ben's idea was to change this matter, and if the truth of the matter was told, it would be detrimental to the army and the entire military, after all, it would be disgraceful for a commander to die at the gunpoint of his own people. Wei Yu said.

"But if it were the Tocharian deeds, I think things might be better." Wei Yu said to Meng Tian for political purposes.

"I don't know what the chief means?" Meng Tian asked after reading it.

"My idea is that we have to take care of the face of the military. Moreover, what we say is conducive to our government's propaganda, after all, such a thing has a lot to do with the next war, and we can do it more forcefully. Wei Yu said.

"Hmm. I have no opinion, sir, if you are killed by your own people, then it will be a bit disgraceful, but this information must be kept strictly confidential, and if the reporter knows about this matter, the situation will be very bad. Meng Tian said. Meng Tian was also a soldier, and he was very sympathetic to the colonel's situation, because he died at the hands of his own people in an accident, although he would eventually report it as a war death, but that would be too dishonorable.

Despite the false news they created, it could be advantageous in that they could conduct military operations more favorably, or that the value of the colonel was maximized here.

"Alright then, I'll report up. to deal with this. Although Wei Yu was reluctant to do this, after all, it was a fraud, but for political purposes, it could exacerbate the contradictions between the two sides, and what the Qin state wanted was to achieve such an effect, to achieve unity in morale and public opinion, in order to resist the attack of the Tocharians.

Qin State, Xianyang, General Staff.

"Do a good job of confidentiality." Wang Jian instructed Bai Qi. Wang Jian personally thinks the same, although he is unwilling to do it. But he himself was reluctant to object to it.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The banks already know about it. I think they'll know what to do next, Prime Minister. The Minister of Finance said.

"Hmm." Shang Wen looked out the window and said.

"Only, one thing, I'm a little worried, what kind of attitude will the countries have when we send out letters and invitations, will they come?" The Minister of Finance said worriedly.

"Yes, definitely coming back, and now the economic ties between countries are increasing. All countries are in a new environment, and the dominance of this environment is in the hands of Qin. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm." The Minister of Finance nodded, and Qin officially issued an invitation to the Xianyang Summit.
