Chapter 428 Chen Guo has the spirit of Ah Q

Yuan Ruan was inexplicably tickled by "Mother Nine" and laughed for a long time before she continued to mutter to the system.

Yuan Ruan: [No wonder Chen State was tricked so many times. Shi Jiazi's tricks are indeed bold and careful, and it is hard to defend against. A rough calculation shows that at least four cities have been taken by Shi Jiazi.]

System: [Not only that. This time, the Shi family took four cities openly, and secretly took two cities. The only difference is that they did not fly the flag of Daxia. If Daxia was not short of troops, they would continue to attack Chen State.]

Crowd: !!!

Almost all officials in the Ministry of War were unfamiliar with the words "take down a city".

In the past, taking a city was enough to open a page in their family tree to bring honor to their ancestors.

Now it’s only been about a month, and the Shi family has already taken over six cities?! Calculating their pace, it’s equivalent to the Shi family army pushing forward all the way. So outrageous?!

Yuan Ruan was stunned by the number: [What! So many cities have been captured. Including the previous cities, Da Xia has already captured more than ten cities of the enemy! I am afraid that the border of Chen State will be hollowed out! ]

System: [Yes. Especially Niucheng and Wancheng are very large. If you calculate the area, one eighth of the territory of Chen State was lost.]

The court officials tried hard to hold their breath so as not to make any useless noises.

The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Personnel began to calculate at the same time. One was excited about how much more tax he could collect, while the other was happy and sad, thinking about how many more people to assign jobs to and how to review and evaluate officials.

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but sigh: [So powerful! I really didn't expect that the appearance of a map would actually make the Great Xia army take off directly, and their combat power is off the charts! ]

System: [Well, Ah Ruan, it's not just the map. King Hengshan is an indispensable part. For example, when Shi Jiazi decides on a city to capture, he first lets King Hengshan choose the attack route. Then Shi Jiazi chooses a route that King Hengshan would never choose. With this trick, Shi Jiazi hits the weakest point of the opponent's defense every time he goes out. This breaks the opponent's mentality.]

Crowd: !!!

The eyes of the officials in the Ministry of War lit up: Wonderful! The King of Hengshan, a human-shaped divination weapon.

Even the emperor couldn't keep his expression steady: he just wanted to give it a try before, but he never expected that the collision between the Prince of Hengshan and the border troops would produce such wonderful sparks.

Yuan Ruan covered his face: [Wow. The King of Hengshan is really useful. I'm afraid that Chen Guo will not only lose his mind, but will also start to doubt his own people.]

System: [More than suspicion. The entire army of the State of Chen was slaughtered. No spies from the State of Xia were caught, but many spies from the State of Chu were found. However, the State of Chen took advantage of the situation and beheaded all of them as Xia people, and hung them on the city walls, threatening and condemning the State of Daxia. This matter was reported to the State of Daxia, which angered the officials and also caused the Minister of War to report. He believed that this was a provocation of the State of Chen to the State of Daxia and that a counterattack was necessary.]

Yuan Ruan was stunned for a moment: she really didn't expect that Chen Guo would come up with such an Ah Q-like method of arrest in order to save his own face!

Yuan Ruan: [Ah, this is outrageous. How about I tell you that the secret work is from the State of Chu?]

The civil and military officials who were just angry about this matter: ???

Chen Guo, are you okay? You are faking something even when you are catching a sly person?!

The Minister of War suddenly forgot most of the passionate words he had prepared and said "ah, cough, um" awkwardly.

Fortunately, at this time, the prince stood up wisely.
