My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 246: Inciting people (please support by ordering all monthly tickets for rewards!)
"Let's discuss it later when we get back to the tent."

Xiang Yan didn't look at Song Yi, he just said this and led many soldiers back to camp.

Song Yi heard this and knew that Xiang Yan did not agree with his plan, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

He went back and said to the soldiers around him.

"There are less than 3 soldiers guarding Wancheng City, and our army has [-] forward troops. Now is the perfect opportunity to attack Qin. We can easily capture Wancheng without any effort at all. "

"Wancheng, that land originally belonged to our Chu region. But now the army is timid and trembling, as if they are very afraid of the young Prince Qin. Let us starve and freeze here in vain, and say that we are waiting for the so-called fighter opportunity. "

"You said you won't attack the city now, how long will you wait?"

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other.Because Song Yi's thoughts were visible to everyone, no one wanted to cause trouble.

Song Yi could only leave alone and bored.

If one plan fails, another plan will be made.

Song Yi ordered his subordinates to go everywhere to spread the news in the army, saying to everyone he met, "Our army will win this battle. There are less than 1 troops in Wancheng."

When the people of Chu heard this, they were naturally delighted.

Then everyone gathered together to discuss, and everyone said, "I think what General Song Yi said makes sense. Obviously, there are less than tens of thousands of men in Wancheng at this time, and our Chu army has 20 soldiers and horses. Even if each person has one arrow, The arrows are enough to make rivers of blood flow in Wancheng, why should we stay here anymore? It’s as if we are really afraid of Qin."

"That's right. Those barbarians from Qin State look down upon us so much that they actually sent a minor as their commander to attack us. It's simply unreasonable."

"If you don't beat him until he cries and runs back to Xianyang to find his father-in-law, it will make us Chu people easy to bully."

After a few days, Song Yi saw that everyone agreed with his idea.

He stood in front of everyone again, raised his voice, and made a loud voice. He said to everyone: "I heard that strike first and strike second to be controlled by others. Now the Qin army has spoken out in front of the people of the world, and it will be controlled by others between the two countries." Within a year, our country of Chu will be conquered."

"The purpose of our Chu army's expedition is to protect the Chu country."

At that time, the understanding of the country was still at a shallow level.The ancient Chinese characters for "国" originally meant the city wall, and the hieroglyphs also refer to a man standing on the edge of the wall holding an axe.

The so-called protection of the country during this period was essentially at the level of protecting the city and family property.

"Now our Chu army is approaching the city, and the Qin and Chu armies are facing each other. The prince of Qin has gone too far to bully others. He left ten thousand defenders alone in the city. Isn't this bullying our Chu people?"

These words immediately aroused the indignation of the soldiers of Chu State, and the soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

"Teach Prince Qin a lesson!"

"Teach Prince Qin a lesson!"

Song Yi felt happy when he saw so many people supporting his idea.

"It's just a pity that the general may not agree with my proposition." Song Yi looked very helpless and sad in front of everyone.

The officers and soldiers were all genuine Chu country folk, and of course there were even more servant farmers who had no food to eat and had to join the army to beg for food.

In the minds of this group of people, royal rule is far away from them.Because they have never been protected by the royal system.

Whoever thinks highly of them, who can give them benefits, and whoever can give them opportunities is their destiny.

Soon, the army erupted with shouts one after another, like a tidal wave, one after another, one after another. "Support General Song."

"Support General Song."

Xiang Yan was thinking about the intentions of Prince Qin Fusu in the tent, trying to find out the flaws and loopholes in his strategy, so as to figure out how to deal with the Qin people's strategy next.

At this time, he heard a commotion outside the camp gate.Xiang Yan was very sensitive to the noise in the army.

He immediately stood up, drew his sword and came out of the tent.

Any general who commands an army has some experience in managing people.

People, when they are individuals, are relatively calm and have stronger thinking skills.

But once a crowd gathers, people will behave blindly. Once a person who is originally very smart and has a very thorough understanding of people and things, once he joins a group and is with everyone, his judgment will seriously decline.

So the more people there are, the easier it is to be incited.What was originally a trivial matter can turn into a huge disaster.

Therefore, in charge of the army, we must nip all rumors in the cradle.

Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be killed immediately.

This is one of the reasons why the military is often managed in a closed manner.

Especially for Xiang Yan, the general in charge of the three armies, they would rather have a sheep that can't speak and is not powerful enough to attack, than a wolf that is full of attack and barks.

After Xiang Yan walked out of the tent, someone immediately came out to report.

"General, the soldiers are all raising their arms and shouting in front of the gate, saying that they will attack Wancheng to show the prince of Qin some color and let them know that we Chu people are not easy to mess with."

Xiang Yan frowned when he heard this.

No need to ask, he quickly guessed that this was Song Yi's doing.But what can be done now that things have come to this?

Hearing this deafening cry, Xiang Yan knew that other soldiers stationed nearby had also heard these shouts.

Xiang Yan followed his subordinates and said to Xiang Yan, "General, although there are less than [-] troops in Wancheng now, the Qin army's crossbows are no joke. The Qin army fired arrows on the walls of the city, occupying terrain."

"And there is mostly vast and flat sand in front of Wancheng. If you lead your troops and horses to attack the city rashly, it will be like a moving target for them. Once we want to attack the city, even if there are many people, we may not be able to get an advantage. ."

"This person who spreads rumors is really hateful. He doesn't take the lives of the soldiers seriously. Could it be that spies from the Qin people have already entered the army. Let me go and find out everything about this vicious person. Find it out."

Xiang Yan's face was grim, and he said helplessly while stroking his beard.

"Rumors are like flames. Once a small flame is lit, it will burn everywhere. At this time, there are already flames everywhere, and it will no longer help to think about eradicating the roots."

"Now the morale of the soldiers has been boosted. If we cannot think of a countermeasure as soon as possible, it will only arouse the anger of the soldiers. The consequences will be disastrous."

“Once people’s hearts are stirred up, it’s hard to calm them down.”

Xiang Yan's subordinate officers also frowned, feeling uneasy and asked, "General, how should we respond next?"

Xiang Yan was forced to do nothing, so he personally summoned all the generals and said to them: "When our army attacks Wancheng, it is bound to be fired by the Qin army's crossbows. I wonder if the generals have any way to deal with the Qin army's crossbows to ease our attack." Military casualties.”
