For more than half a month, Mingyue kept the bandits under his command under control and did not let them go out to disrupt the Wu army.
The soldiers of Wu State thought that the annoying Song State soldiers were frightened by the beating, so the people in the Wu army camp boasted about Jiang Yunqi even more.
At this time, someone took the opportunity to come in and became Jiang Yunqi's best brother by secretly bringing a pot of wine to the military camp.
Mingyue did not let the bandits sit idle. After all the food in the basement was moved out, she began to ask the bandits to spread some rumors.
Recently, many strange notices have appeared on the walls of major cities in the Wu State.
These notices mainly explain the following points:
One reason is that the new emperor of Song could not bear to see the people suffer, so he advocated peace and wanted to stop the war, but was rejected by the emperor of Wu, who insisted on fighting to unify the world.
Secondly, the emperor of Song had no choice but to reduce taxes for the people of Song, and also provided a series of rewards to encourage refugees to return home, as well as policies to support people's lives, hoping that Song would get better and better in the future.
The third one announced the current arrangements made by the State of Song for the people and refugees.
When the people of Wu saw those welfare policies, their eyes became red with envy.
"It must be fake. The Song State is not that rich. The idea of giving away good farmland for free to the people for five years, renting a cow for a few copper coins from the county government, and rewarding refugees with three taels of silver for living expenses when they return to their original registered residence... It's all fake."
"Yes, it must be fake. Those people above us have always been trying to get money from us, never to spend money on us. This is too fake."
"But I seem to have heard of this new Song Emperor. He used to love his people like his own children. I also have a relative who went to his fiefdom. I heard that he lived a very good life there."
"Oh, yes, yes, he is the former Lord of Shu City, the kind man who accepted all the refugees no matter how many came."
"So, everything written here is true?"
"Why is there such a big difference between this emperor and the emperor?"
"… "
The same remarks were spread in every city of Wu.
For a time, the people of Wu were restless and their dissatisfaction with those in power grew.
This is also Mingyue’s recent masterpiece.
She made full use of the spies that Qin Xingye had planted in the State of Wu and posted these notices everywhere, including in various cities.
At the same time, we will arrange for professional agents to spread the contents of the notice everywhere, making sure that all the people in Wu have heard of it.
In fact, it is not entirely true to say that these are rumors. Except for the first item, the others are currently being implemented by the State of Song.
And these are enough to make the people of Wu feel uneasy.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
The people's will is a good thing that can subvert a country.
Of course Mingyue is not only thinking about finding a breakthrough from the people. The most important thing now is to win a battle, a complete victory.
So that the people of Wu would know that Song not only has good welfare benefits, but also has strong soldiers and horses, and Wu will never be able to defeat it.
Not long after, Wan Yu sent news that Jiang Yunqi had recently fought against dozens of people alone in a camp of more than 200,000 soldiers, and had no rivals in the camp in the ring. His reputation was growing, and even General Xu was very optimistic about him. Once when he was drunk, he promised to marry his unmarried daughter to him.
After Li Ruyi's death, another Miss Xu came. This was something Mingyue had never expected. But this time Mingyue did not try to stop it, but quietly watched Jiang Yunqi being praised higher and higher.
It was not until the spies planted in Jiang Yunqi's place reported that Jiang Yunqi and General Xu were secretly training a strange kind of heavy cavalry.
Although there were only 50,000 soldiers participating in the training, this training was very strange and different from any other type of soldiers currently.
Not only did the horses need to be covered with heavy armor, but the soldiers also had to wear armor weighing hundreds of pounds, and carry shields and spears.
In this way, the heavy cavalry not only has powerful impact power, but also has excellent defensive power.
If the Song army was not prepared at all, they would surely be rushed in and killed at will by these cavalrymen. The powerful defense and charging capabilities they possessed were simply beyond the ability of ordinary soldiers to withstand.
The spy was able to find out about this because he was good friends with Jiang Yunqi, and thus was forced into this strange training by him.
At this time Mingyue knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come.
The heavy cavalry was not without its nemesis. Although they could defeat the enemy in a field battle on the plains, they had no way to deal with swamps and mountains.
What's more, there is the existence of a magical artifact like the trip rope.
Think about those horses carrying heavy armor and heavy soldiers. Once they encounter the trip rope, it doesn’t matter whether the horses can stand up or not. The most important thing is that those heavy soldiers will be at the mercy of others.
Mingyue asked the spies to continue to monitor Jiang Yunqi's actions quietly, and at the same time contacted the generals of the Song State.
Anyway, the Song Kingdom is now under the control of Qin Xingye, so Mingyue, the aide, doesn't need to hide anymore.
Even... after this great battle, she will restore her true identity as Song Mingyue.
Otherwise, how could Jiang Yunqi know how dazzling the wife he abandoned was now, and how failed and miserable his life was.
Mingyue had just extended an olive branch to the general of Song State, and the chief general of Song State took the initiative to come to Mingyue.
As early as when Qin Xingye came to power, he immediately ordered the chief general of the Song State to fully cooperate with Mr. Song.
To be precise, Mingyue's power now is no less than that of the commander-in-chief, and even slightly greater than that of the commander-in-chief.
Fortunately, for such a long time, Mingyue led a group of bandits and harassed the Wu army with their incompetent numbers and troops, causing a sharp decline in the number of troops. This also made the Song general see her strength, and now he is convinced by her words.
"If this heavy cavalry really appeared in the world, it would not be so easy to deal with. However, since we got the news first, this special forces soldier is nothing to worry about. It's just... attack them when they are unprepared, take them by surprise, what I mean is..."
As Mingyue spoke, the commander's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Originally, the commander was only thinking about taking down those 50,000 heavy cavalry, but after hearing what Mr. Song said, he felt that he was really inferior.
Who would have thought that Mr. Song's appetite was so big that he wanted those 200,000 soldiers...
In the end, he really couldn't help but applaud, looking at Mingyue with admiration and said, "No wonder your majesty thinks so highly of you. You are really resourceful. Being your enemy is probably the greatest misfortune for the general of Wu."
Mingyue smiled modestly: "No, no, General Zhou, you are too kind."
Seeing her harmless appearance, General Zhou shuddered. It was true that the more harmless a person looks, the scarier they are!
Fortunately, she stood on the side of Song State.
