After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 12 Is it still necessary?
Ji Qingluo looked at the ministers in front of him with a cold gaze.

at this moment.

She understood completely.

What does it mean that the truth is the sharpest knife!

Chen Huaixin simply used paintings to publicize to the soldiers what they had done, and this caused their collective rage and breakdown!

If not at this time.

Chen Huaixin is protected by the country's destiny.

Then these people will definitely find ways to kill him!
"Even though everyone did it!"

"That doesn't mean you can say it!"

This is what these people think.

Ji Qingluo looked at the quiet crowd and said calmly, "Why don't you continue to denounce? Duke Zheng, didn't you say in the future that this was a rumor about the minister of state? Why is it so quiet now? Shouldn't you find someone to catch this rumormonger and skin him alive?"

I felt Ji Qingluo's gaze on me.

Although Duke Zheng was old, he was still terrified and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I don't know why I said that. It might be because I was guarding the city for many days and was impatient and irritable, so I spoke nonsense."

"Nonsense? In other words, you also know that Chen Huaixin is not spreading rumors, but stating facts?" Ji Qingluo's phoenix eyes narrowed.

Duke Zheng suddenly hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Ji Qingluo snorted coldly.

She put the matter aside for now, and looked at the Duke of Wei, who was the leader among the generals, and said, "Duke of Wei, what do you think of Chen Huaixin's strategy?"

"excellent!"

The Duke of Wei did not participate in the condemnation just now.

He kept looking at the Jian Tian Mirror, recalling Chen Huaixin's strategy. He nodded and said, "Unless we can confiscate all the paintings immediately and take measures to appease the troops, even I will be helpless in the face of this psychological attack!"

All paintings were confiscated.

That's just put simply!
The Yuanju Army led by Chen Huaixin has the advantage of the sky. They don't need to do anything. Just spreading these paintings every day is enough to make the defenders run around in a hurry.

As for the fighting capacity of the defenders?

It all depends on God’s will!

"Then do you think Chen Huaixin can achieve what he said about fighting without bloodshed?"

"can do it!"

The Duke of Wei replied quickly: "If it is an ordinary method, even if the general defending the city is helpless, he can send troops out of the natural barrier of Tongguan to fight the enemy outside. But after Chen Huaixin's method, let alone fighting in the wild, he can keep the morale of the army and continue to mobilize the troops. This is considered the ability of a defending general!"

Speaking of it.

He was even more emotional.

"After the deduction of the divine weapon is completed, Your Majesty, please recruit this person into our army. A person of this ability can only play his best role in the army. I can teach him personally!"

"Duke Weiguo, don't compete with my grandfather. I told you in advance that if Chen Huaixin joins the army, I will let my grandfather lead him personally!" The second princess Ji Changling interrupted at this time.

Duke Wei looked at Ji Changling and said with a smile, "It's okay, Second Princess. I'll go talk to Old Ji in person when the time comes. He will definitely be willing to give it to me."

"Not necessarily!" Ji Changling laughed, "My grandpa is a man who loves talents. For someone like Chen Huaixin, he would fight for him, so why would he give him to you!"

"Hahaha, then I have to talk to him about that arrow incident forty years ago."

"..."

The two were talking.

Ji Qingluo's originally cold expression gradually softened a little.

She glanced again at the ministers who had just denounced her, and finally looked back at the Mirror of Heaven in the hall.

[April, the third year of Wanhe.] [The hot air balloon publicity campaign only lasted for a week.]

[But the soldiers defending Tongguan were already feeling uneasy.]

【If you say. 】

[If the paper dropped was written on, it wouldn't have such a big impact. After all, how many people who can read and write would want to be a stinking soldier? ]

[However, the paintings chosen by Chen Huaixin can make it easy for illiterate people to understand the meaning of them. In this case, the consequences will be too serious! ]

[Even the most timid soldiers, under the constant propaganda of the hot air balloon, cast strange looks at their superiors.]

[What worries the defending general, Duke Zheng, the most is the logistics of the hot air balloon propaganda. Even if he sends his trusted confidants to supervise, problems still keep popping up.]

【Various signs.】

【Let Duke Zheng understand. 】

[“Relying on Tongguan to defend it is probably no longer feasible.”]

[“We must attack immediately and fight a decisive battle with the rebels in the wild!”]

【“As long as you win.”】

【“Everything will be fine!”】

[Duke Zheng thought so.]

【However.】

[On the eve of his mobilization of troops and the decisive battle, the rebels seemed to see through his thoughts and the paintings they spread also changed.]

[From the actions of the aristocratic families, it became that the soldiers bravely killed the enemy on the front line, but the soldiers in the rear were thinking about how to greedily obtain more money, or seeing that the wives and daughters of some soldiers were beautiful, they would try every means to arrange the soldiers to the most dangerous places, so that they could easily take possession of the wives and daughters of the widowed husbands and fathers.]

【Anyway.】

【In summary. 】

[It turns the painting into "The soldiers on the front line only need to kill the enemy, but the soldiers in the rear have more to consider."]

【And this. 】

[This undoubtedly made the situation of the army's morale collapse even worse! ]

[When Duke Zheng wanted to mobilize scouts to go out and gather intelligence, a scout actually refused his order in person! ]

[“If I die on the battlefield or am captured by the enemy, will the general take my wife and daughter for himself?”]

[The scout looked directly at Duke Zheng.]

[The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point! ]

[Duke Zheng looked at the scouts. He wanted to scold them, but when the other scouts saw someone standing up and looking at him with the same eyes, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly changed: "No! I can assure you! Such a thing will never happen! It's all slander by the rebels!"]

[“But my fellow countryman’s wife and daughter really encountered this kind of thing!” The scout unfolded the letter sent by the fellow countryman’s wife and daughter in front of Duke Zheng.]

[It clearly states that the wives and daughters of fellow villagers whose husbands died on the battlefield not only did not receive the compensation they deserved, but the generals who sent them the compensation also hinted that they should remarry him, not just concubines, but daughters as well!]

【After reading this letter. 】

[Duke Zheng's face turned pale immediately! ]

【And he completely understood it at this time. 】

[The rebels' plot has succeeded! ]

[“Even the elite scouts in the army began to feel resentful.”]

【“Not to mention those ordinary soldiers!”】

[“Is it necessary to continue this battle?”]
