My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 423: Rumors in the Army (please order all monthly tickets for rewards!)
Mid April.

Qin and Chu, which had been in a stalemate with the Chu army for more than two months, began to lose control.

Before Qin took any action, Fusu received such news.

When Fusu was making military arrangements with Li Xin in the big tent, Wang Ben suddenly asked to see him.

When Wang Ben came to see Fusu outside the tent, his face was as usual, and he walked step by step.

But as soon as he arrived at Fusu's tent, his legs began to tremble and his face turned pale.

Now Fusu can tell what is happening in the army just by looking at the expressions of ministers of different ranks.

"What happened?" Fusu and Li Xin were spreading out the map and looking at it.

There were only three people left in the tent, and Wang Ben stepped forward and whispered, "Something big has happened. There is a spy in the army."

Fusu was not surprised, "Isn't this something that has always happened? It would be strange if there was not even a traitor in the army."

"Now you are leading the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin State to fight against the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu State, just to distribute the land of the Chu State to Lord Changping in the future. The soldiers in the army are just for the prince. Life and death.”

Fusu burst out laughing after hearing this.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking both Fusu and Li Xin. They had just planned an almost perfect conspiracy, but it was shattered.

Wang Ben hesitated for a moment, looking at Fusu who was reluctant to speak out.

"This time is different." Wang Ben said seriously, looking at Li Xin solemnly, "I'm afraid that the spy has already infiltrated the prince's side. "

"I'm worried that the news of General Lee's arrival has been exposed."

Li Xin raised his head and asked bluntly, "General Wang, what do you mean?"

"But I'm afraid that some smart soldiers will have realized that the enemy's spies have infiltrated the army. If they are not investigated and dealt with early, the soldiers' panic and uneasiness may spread to the entire army."

"But recently, a new rumor was born, still about the prince. They said..."

Li Xin had a rare serious look on his face, "It seems to be a small rumor, but once it spreads among the army, it will cause people to panic. The soldiers sincerely support you, so naturally they will not believe this kind of trick."

Although the matter was very serious, Fusu remained calm, "How could such a thing happen? Where did you get the news?"

Wang Ben frowned, "The last general has just confirmed this. In the past, there were always people in the army criticizing the prince, saying that the prince was too young and that it was inappropriate to command 400,000 people. I don't think this is a big deal. According to private criticism All the general’s military orders were slapped on the wall.”

Seeing Wang Bi like this, Fusu guessed that the rumors were about him, "What did you say about me?"

"What a cheap trick. I thought Chu Jun had been able to hold his temper these past two months, but I didn't expect Xiang Yan to be so childish as to use such a trick."

"Some people in the army say that the blood of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom flows in your body. Your biological mother is the former princess of the Chu Kingdom, and your uncle is the powerful and powerful Lord Changping of the past, who is also the current King of Chu."

After all, Li Xin had been fighting for ten years and knew the soldiers' thoughts very well.

It's not scary to have rumors. What's scary is that you live with spies every day, and your every move is being observed. Even if you find out about the spies one day, you may disappear without knowing why.

Wang Ben also looked serious, "There is something more serious than this. There are rumors in the army that the prince cannot complete the task of attacking Chu and defeating Qi within two years. The reason why he insists on leading 400,000 troops to attack Chu is..." Wang Ben Before he finished speaking, Fusu's cold eyes pierced him, "Why?"

Wang Ben was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to say anything. Prince, please forgive me."

Fusu snorted coldly into the air, "Let me guess, they said that I led the troops to support my own self-respect? So that one day I can become a king on my own and don't have to go back to Xianyang?"

Wang Ben just lowered his head and said, "What they said is much worse than this."

When Li Xin heard this, his eyes widened. A normal person would have exploded if such a large amount of dirty water was poured on the prince, but the prince acted as if nothing happened.

Fusu just sat down calmly.

"The strength of the Chu State is no less than that of Zhao Gao, but is the Qin State still the Qin State more than 20 years ago? When Qin and Chu are fighting, we want to paralyze our opponents, and the Chu army also wants to attack our Qin army."

"Although the methods used by the Chu State are terrible, it seems to be really effective at the moment. They have been acting in secret, and the venom has not broken out in the army until today. It can be seen that the spies lurking in the secrets of the Qin army are very deep. We I couldn’t find it for a while.”

"But this does not mean that we should be helpless in the face of such rumors. We should use absolute strength and practical actions to dispel these rumors."

"Li Xin, you should set off now. I'm afraid if it's later, those people will really know where you are. By then, our Qin army will lose another trump card."

Fusu was like a needle that stabilizes the sea, stabilizing Wang Ben and Li Xin.

Wang Ben was still confused, "Is the prince sure that the Chu army does not know that General Li is also in the army?"

"If General Wang were the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, if you had known in advance that Li Xin was going to fight again, how do you think the Chu army would react?"

Wang Ben thought for a while and said, "The Chu army must stand still - those spies will never risk exposing themselves and spread rumors everywhere."

Fusu spoke firmly. "That's right, it's precisely because they can't control the movements of our Qin army and can't guess our intentions, so they use this method to force us to take action first. I have a hunch that the Chu State's military camp may be better than we imagined. Be chaotic.”

When Li Xin heard this, he had another plan in mind.

"Prince, I have a plan. Not only can I help the general attack the city, but I can also destroy the spies inserted into our army by the Chu army. The original intention of the Chu army is to disrupt the morale of our army. We should do the opposite. Come on. A general will follow his plan."

"Tell me."

"I asked the prince to prepare two edicts and issue the tiger talisman. One for me, and this other..." Li Xin said and looked at Wang Ben.

Wang Ben smiled and said, "Okay, I won't spare anyone in this game."

Li Xin smiled again, "General Wang, only the four of us know about this matter. Tian, ​​Prince, you, and me."

Wang Ben patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, kid. I will fully cooperate with you. To be honest, you are the bravest striker I have ever seen in my life."
-
That night, Wang Ben suddenly rode up to various military camps with a sword in hand and announced that from now on, the army would be under complete martial law and could only enter or leave.

Each army operates within a designated area, and no one is allowed to interact with each other between the two armies.

Unless ordered to assemble by decree, officers and men of all armies are not allowed to meet without reason.
