Chapter 1218 Give Them A Dose Of Their Own Medicine
With a serious look on his face, Zhao Yingjie said, "I didn''t expect that."
Yun Shang tapped her fingers on the table and said, "Our spies found out that Cangjue Qingsu had
returned to the imperial capital city of the State of Yng. Before I came, his majesty had been talking
with me whether Cangjue Qingsu had really returned to the imperial capital city."
"When I was in Nanxun Town, I heard details of the two battles they had won from Prince Xian. I felt it
was a little different from Cangjue Qingsu''s style."
Zhao Yingjie frowned and said, "But the way they instigate me to defect is like Cangjue Qingsu''s style."
"Yes." Yun Shang nodded, "It''s true."
"Your majesty, what should we do now?"
Yun Shang squinted, "What should we do? We will give them a dose of their own medicine. "
Zhao Yingjie and Qin Yi understood what she meant. Qin Yi looked up at Yun Shang and said, "Do you
mean that we should follow the way of the State of Yng and catch a group of people from the State
of Yng to threaten them?"
"But..." Zhao Yingjie still frowned, "The people of the State of Yng came up with this n. They must
have been prepared. It''s impossible for us to catch so many people from the State of Yng in the
same way. Even if we arrest their people to threaten them, I''m afraid that Cangjue Qingsu won''t be
fooled. "
Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "Besides, with cangjue Qingsu''s character, even if we put those people
on the battlefield, he won''t care about their lives at all."
"Then why did you..."
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and yed with the jade pendant on her waist. "I didn''t mean we would
"Isn''t Cangjue Qingsu vicious? In the State of Yng, Cangjue Qingsu was also tough and vicious,
which was obvious to all. Let''s take advantage of this... First, send soldiers to disguise as the people of
the State of Yng to sneak into the State of Yng and go to some viges and towns behind their
border defense line. Then, pretend to be soldiers or generals of the State of Yng and forge some
documents to ask for food from the people on the excuse of emergency in the front line. "
Hearing Yun Shang''s words, Zhao Yingjie understood what she was going to do. His eyes lit up.
"Those officials won''t doubt it when they saw the documents as they knew there was indeed a war
going on. Once these officials get the order, they will put pressure on the people and force them to the
battlefield or provide food. "
"At that time, the people of the State of Yng will be full ofints. I''m afraid that some people
who really don''t have enough food in their families will rise a revolt under such a strong force."
Yun Shang smiled, "That''s true. By then, even if Cangjue Qingsu finds out what we are doing, they will
still be troubled. What do you think they will do then?"
"Even if they came to their senses, exined to the people, returned the food, and said that it was all
the n of the State of Xia, but at that time, the people had already rebelled, and we could spread
rumors that it was a conspiracy of Cangjue Qingsu. He would settle ounts after they surrender."
"But if Cangjue Qingsu gives the order to suppress the rebellion, we can put obstacles in it and incite
the people in other cities by telling them that Cangjue Qingsu has raised his knife and spear to his
people. If they don''t find a way to resist, they wille to the same end in the future."
Yun Shang nodded, "Right. As for the frontier..."
Yun Shang meditated for a while and said, "You just pretend to agree, I will immediately arrange for
secret guards to go to the nearby cities, towns and viges to spread out the plot of the State of
Yng. Then, post some notice with your seal on it, indicating that you will do your best to ensure the
safety of every citizen in the State of Xia. Also remind the other people of the State of Xia to be on
guard against the schemes of the State of Yng and not trust others. "
"Then, I will issue some notices in the name of his majesty and me, and tell everyone about it. I will tell
them that the State of Yng is vicious and merciless, hurting the people of the State of Xia. And
certain amount of money will be given to the family of the people who have been captured by the State
of Yng tofort them. Let them know that it is the State of Yng who kidnapped the people of the
State of Xia. If they die, it is also the State of Yng who killed our people. "
"Then I will ask our people to resist the State of Yng together, telling them the State of Yng will try
to kill our people if the people of the State of Yng really invade the State of Xia."
"Yes." Zhao Yingjie nodded, "That''s the only way out now."
Yun Shang smiled, "The State of Yng instigates to defect because they think his majesty and me
were not at the border. They only give you two days to consider, and it''s not enough for your memorial
to arrive Jin City. When his majesty gets the news, whether you agree or not, these things at the
frontier have been settled. At that time, even if your memorial arrives, his majesty and I will doubt
whether this is a lie you deliberately made up in order to prove your innocence. "
"But they didn''t expect that I was here. As long as I am here and know the truth, their plot won''t work as
they expected. "
Zhao Yingjie nodded, "I''ll do as you said."
Then he was about to leave the camp.
Yun Shang nodded and said, "You don''t have to discuss this with the other generals and vice generals.
We don''t know whether there are spies of the State of Yng among them. You do it secretly. Then I''ll
write you a secret letter as a token with the Emperor''s seal. If someone asks about it and shows any
hesitation about what you have done, you can show him the secret letter. "
"In addition, the notice is also enough to convince the public."
Zhao Yingjie nodded and looked at Yun Shang again, "His majesty''s... seal? Have your majesty
foreseen it and take the seal with you? "
"Ah..." Yun Shang smiled, "I didn''t bring it with me."
"Then..."
Yun Shang smiled, "I didn''t take the seal with me, but I can have someone make one, right? I
remember the appearance of the seal. "
Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie widened his eyes and said, "Your majesty... Do you want to carve a fake
seal? "
