I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

The Southern King still raised doubts.

"The situation you mentioned can still be established if it is based on the fact that Qian State was invaded and Chu State helped Qian State.

But now it is the Chu State that is being invaded, and the Qian State comes to help.

The Chu people will fight to the death to defend their homeland and will not retreat. If the Qian army is destroyed, the Chu army alone will be unable to hold on."

"Brother Prince Nan, when we were deciding whether to attack Qi or Liang first, I asked His Majesty a question.

I can also ask you this question.

For example, you go hunting with a bow and arrow in your hand, and there are two prey in front of you, one strong and one weak. Which one do you shoot first?

The Southern King said without hesitation,

"I must attack the strong one first. I can only fire one arrow at a time, so the weak one isn't much of a threat. I must kill the strong one first, and then I can calmly face the weak one. Even if it lunges at me, I can kill it with my fists."

"By the same token, the Qian army is strong and the Chu army is weak. If we send a small number of troops to stop the Qian army, we will probably be defeated directly by the Qian army and fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

If we concentrate on besieging the Qian army and send a small number of troops to stop the Chu army, then the Chu army, driven by a desire for revenge and insufficient combat effectiveness, will not be able to defeat our small number of troops, and we can use our superior forces to deal with the Qian army.

As long as we defeat the Qian army, the small Chu army will be at our mercy."

The Southern King asked,

"Then how can you be so sure that the Chu army is unwilling to help the Qian army? What if they are willing to help? What if they are even more afraid of the Qian army's strength?"

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"So, we need to give it a little push."

At this moment, an officer came in quickly from outside, holding a memorial in his hand. He knelt down and said,

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Qian-Chu coalition has sent a declaration of war."

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"Well, isn't this the opportunity?"

He stood up, took the letter of challenge, but before he could read it, he suddenly felt a murderous aura nearby.

When he turned around, he saw Yan Fuyao squinting at him.

Shen Changgong chuckled and respectfully handed over the letter of challenge with both hands.

Yan Fuyao smiled lightly, then opened it and took a look, then handed it to Gongsun Wan'er and asked her to read it.

"From His Majesty the Emperor of Great Yan:

I have long heard that the Emperor of Great Yan is a gentleman, but he does not act like a gentleman and invades other countries without reason..."

The wording of this declaration of war was relatively polite, but the tone was fierce. It severely criticized Yan State's improper behavior of invading other countries without reason, and questioned Yan State why it wanted to attack other countries when they were innocent.

Also order the Yan army to withdraw and return home today, otherwise, we will go to the battlefield between the two cities tomorrow to decide the outcome.

In the end, only Gong Yang Ge's name was written on the name of the commander-in-chief, and Xiang Qu's name was not written.

This shows the contempt the Qian people had for the Chu people.

It can even be said that Gongyang Ge did not take Xiang Qu seriously at all. Even in the letter of war against the State of Yan, he only wrote his own name, and not Xiang Qu's name. He did not even think that Xiang Qu was a commander-in-chief, and thought of himself as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces!

Through this, everyone also saw that the Qian people really despised the Chu people.

"Our chance has come."

Shen Changgong said in a deep voice,

"We can write them a letter in which we first state our view that we want to unify the world.

Then, we will praise the Chu army and belittle the Qian army.

Just think about it, for a long time, the Qian army was strong and the Chu army was weak, and they all knew this.

If we continue to praise the Qian army and belittle the Chu army, it will only arouse the arrogance of the Qian army and the anger of the Chu army, and make the Chu army fight with us tomorrow.

On the contrary, if we praise the Chu army and belittle the Qian army, we can intensify their conflicts.

Recognition from the enemy is the best compliment to an army.

If even the invincible Yan army was afraid of the fighting power of the Chu army, then the Chu army would certainly be very happy. On the contrary, the Qian army would be furious, which would deepen the rift between them.

In addition, we let our spies in the enemy army spread rumors, saying that the generals of the Qian army and the generals of the Chu army had quarreled, and the Qian army said that the Chu army was a bunch of chickens and dogs, begging on their knees, and were rats from Jiangdong.

The next most important sentence is that the Qian army said that even without the Chu army, they could defeat the Yan army and there was no need for the Chu army at all.

This will intensify their conflict once again.”

After saying this, Shen Changgong looked at the empress and asked for her opinion.

The Southern King sighed,

"You have such a dirty mind."

The empress smiled and said,

"I think this is a good plan. Let me write the letter myself. Wan'er, you arrange for Skynet's spies to spread rumors among the enemy."

"As ordered."

Gongsun Wan'er nodded immediately.

The Southern King said,

"Let's discuss military affairs. Tomorrow, which army will fight the Chu army, which army will fight the Qian army, and how should this battle be fought?"

Shen Changgong closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said,

"Our army has two ace units, the Zhennan Army and the Tianyu Army.

Tomorrow, the Tianyu Army and 50,000 Zhennan Army will fight against the Chu Army."

Everyone was very confused when they heard this.

Zhang Han asked,

"Why is that? The Qian army is so strong, and our goal is to defeat them. Of course, we have to send our strongest ace army to fight against them."

Yu Huatian suddenly smiled and said,

"I think I understand what the prince means."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Your Highness's intention should be to let our best troops fight against the Chu Army to prove our respect and fear for the Chu Army, and to confirm that we are indeed afraid of the Chu Army.

Using other armies to fight against the Qian army can prove that we despise the Qian army and that we have no trump cards to use against them.

Secondly, it can also prove that we think the Qian army is weak and we should eat up the Qian army first.

Even after they retreated, the Chu army commander could say that they were fighting against the Yan army's trump card, and it was normal that they couldn't beat them, but your Qian army was not that strong and couldn't beat some other armies.

Let them quarrel and further deepen the rift and estrangement.

Furthermore, using the ace army to stop the Chu army can also ensure that the Chu army will not break through the defense line."

Shen Changgong smiled brightly at Yu Huatian.

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I was thinking.

Then the other deployments, the other 50,000 Zhennan troops, stayed in the camp temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to move, waiting for orders, waiting for the right opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

The Pingnan Army, the Zhengnan Army, the Feiying Army, and the Shenfeng Army came to fight against the Qian Army.

The Yuying Army will stay in Shaanxi City to protect Your Majesty.

Whoever agrees or disagrees.”

"I object!"

Yu Ziling immediately stood up and said,

"Our Yuying Army is not bad either, why don't you let us go to fight?"

How could Shen Changgong not know what she was thinking? She must have thought that he thought she was pregnant and deliberately left her behind.
