Chapter 418: The method of alienation!
In Heishui Village.
Ye Chen sat in the dean's office and continued to receive information from all over the place.
At this time, the main contact members of the civil organization he established were the children from poor families whom he sent to various villages.
Soon, Ye Chen learned from intelligence coming from various places that the army camps of Yanzhou and Bingzhou were clearly separated, and the two sides were obviously not getting along harmoniously.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said to Han Cheng, who had read all the information: "What do you think?"
Han Cheng replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, judging from the intelligence reports coming back from various places, the armies of Yanzhou and Bingzhou have clearly been at odds since their encounter. We can use some tactics."
"Hey, come here, call Fuyao."
Ye Chen first ordered someone to call Yun Fuyao, and then said to Han Cheng, "Han Cheng, I have decided to burn all the millet seedlings in the thirteen villages surrounding the army of more than one hundred thousand."
Upon hearing this, Han Cheng was horrified and quickly advised, "Your Majesty, this absolutely cannot happen! If you burn the food, how will the people survive?"
"At this moment, only by defending our defenses and clearing the countryside can we force the enemy to retreat quickly."
Ye Chen shook his head and insisted on his opinion.
Han Cheng continued to persuade him, "Your Majesty, please think twice! If the grain is burned, the tens of thousands of people in these thirteen villages will be in real trouble."
"I have made up my mind. This must be done."
Han Cheng panicked even more and tried desperately to persuade him, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Han Cheng's anxious expression and just smiled coldly.
"I have decided to exempt the people whose food supplies were burned from paying taxes for two years."
Ye Chen spoke again, his voice firm.
Hearing this, Han Cheng was stunned.
After pondering for a while, Han Cheng slowly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise. It was I who was reckless."
Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He had thought that Ye Chen was going to sacrifice the people, but now that taxes had been reduced, although some food had been burned, the people could still make do and might even have surplus food next year.
Ye Chen stood up and asked someone to bring a map.
He stared at the map in front of him, his eyes fixed on the two camps marked on the map, which were close to each other and clearly separated.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Qiu'er."
Shen Qiu immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty."
Ye Chen said in a resounding voice: "Send someone to the palace and tell the Queen Mother that I will not be returning to the palace tonight and will stay here for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is a very dangerous move. Being outside this city, many unexpected events may happen. Please think twice."
Hearing this, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression grim.
"The situation is complicated now. Only outside the capital can I command the intelligence organizations and armed militias more quickly."
"This is for Dayu's country!"
Hearing this, Shen Qiu's face showed worry, and he continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, if you make a mistake, wouldn't Dayu's country be finished?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen said in a calm and domineering tone: "How could I not know the danger? But Qiu'er, I really need to stay here. I have made up my mind. You go and pass on the message."
Hearing this, Shen Qiu bit his lip, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his cold and handsome face.
With Ye Chen's current power, Shen Qiu naturally knew that even if Su Mengjiao disagreed, she would not be able to stop Ye Chen.
In the end, Shen Qiu had no choice but to clasp his fists and say, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I will obey your command."
Not long after Shen Qiu went down to pass on the order, Yun Fuyao arrived at the village.
"I have met your Majesty."
Yun Fuyao bowed to Ye Chen and said.
Ye Chen spoke in a gentle tone, saying to Yun Fuyao, "Fuyao, I order you to publish some news about the Bingzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army in the newspaper."
"Just say that the Bingzhou army is secretly colluding with the imperial court, and the Yanzhou army is also secretly colluding with the imperial court. All kinds of rumors are allowed. We must disrupt their morale and drive the two armies apart."
"The minister obeys the order!"
With Yun Fuyao's intelligence, it was not difficult to see that Ye Chen wanted to alienate the two armies.
However, after agreeing, Yun Fuyao immediately asked, "Your Majesty, this strategy of sowing discord can be used, but it can also be easily seen through by the other party. After all, rumors stop at the wise. The truly effective strategy of sowing discord is definitely not to use rumors to create discord!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke in a firm tone.
"Even if they were discovered, I believe Chen Jian and Ding Wen wouldn't dare to gamble. Fuyao, just follow my instructions. You will handle this matter in the village for the next few days."
"promise!"
Yun Fuyao retreated.
And after Yun Fuyao left.
Ye Chen's mind was filled with thoughts.
He doesn't just rely on rumors to create discord.
But there are some things he cannot say openly.
The best strategy must be revealed at the last moment to achieve the best effect.
In the next five days.
Under Ye Chen's command, his newly constructed intelligence organization began to operate rapidly like a precision gear.
The armed militia and civilians also moved like the wind. The millet seedlings that were about to be harvested around the Bingzhou and Yanzhou army camps were all set on fire overnight.
The fire burned for a whole day and night.
Strong walls and clear fields!
At the same time, rumors were spreading everywhere.
Even in the military camp, arrows would occasionally be shot at, and the arrows shot at the Bingzhou army camp were from the Yanzhou army, and the arrows shot at the Yanzhou army camp were all from the Bingzhou army.
For a time, the morale of the armies of the two states was greatly shaken.
