In the final stage of the world's struggle, the gentry class would choose to stand in secret, because it was related to the rise and fall of its century-old family.

Or I went to the King of Qin to please me to leave a way out.

Maybe you have a chastity and be prepared to die for the country.

The problem of Lingguo officials is not only Huo Lian, nor can it be solved immediately by the words of Lingwang, because the aristocratic family is deeply rooted, not only is the composition of the Lingguo political system, but also has many disciples.

Just like when King Ling inherited the throne, he had to receive support from the gentry, otherwise he would not be able to sit steadily on the throne.

Due to various situations, the Ling King could only temporarily endure it and adopted Cheng Ping's suggestion to control the situation in Lingzhou first, and secretly monitor Huo Lian and others with the Sili Camp.

Under his order, five thousand people were directly drawn from the 10,000 imperial guards in the palace, divided into dozens of teams, and started running to the streets to calm the turmoil.

At the same time, the existing counties ordered the recruited county soldiers to transport the front line, and the food, grass, and weapons shall be borne by each county.

The order to recruit soldiers after the Ling Kingdom War was already issued. Its territory was vast and its population base was large. Although many young and strong men were evading military service under the forced enlistment of various counties, they still recruited some soldiers to this day.

There are still more than ten counties in Ling Kingdom now, and most of the strong recruitment bravest counties in each county are about 10,000, which is more than 100,000.

However, these people are all young and strong civilians. To put it bluntly, the common people have not only never been on the battlefield, but also have not received any training. Some people don’t even know how to use weapons, let alone the cooperation between the hard bow of the war horse and the battlefield.

More importantly, the food and grass in each county have been transferred, and now they have to be self-sufficient. Under this condition, recruiting young and strong men has become a problem. It is simply a fantasy to turn the situation around, which is also the reason why Ling Xiang is not optimistic about it.

In addition, after the edict was issued, although the county magistrate followed, some people were unmoved at all.

For example, Shi Wenhui, the magistrate of Dong'an County, has recruited more than 10,000 soldiers and brave soldiers, basically all of which are cloth armored spears, which can be regarded as an armed force.

If it were in the past, even if Shi Wenhui had given him a hundred courages, he would not dare to disobey the orders of the Ling King. But now, the situation in the Ling Kingdom has changed drastically and is on the verge of collapse. The ministers in the court have little thoughts, and the same is true for the local county magistrates.

Originally, he planned to send more than 10,000 soldiers to the front line, but his aide stopped him and said, "Now the Qin army has arrived in Ruizhou. With a tiger and wolf army, this place must not be defended for a long time. Once Ruizhou is broken, it is only a matter of time before the entire Lingguo falls. Now that the Lord has sent these young and strong men to the front line, it will not only have no effect, but also waste their lives in vain."

"This..." Shi Wenhui also understood this truth, but King Ling's order had arrived, and he said with great confusion: "But if I don't transport the recruited county soldiers to the front line, Your Majesty will be furious and will be punished by the court."

"Then the lord will reply to Your Majesty, saying that the food and grass are in short supply. After the preparations are completed, the troops will be transported immediately." The aide said.

"This...is feasible?" Shi Wenhui was still a little worried.

As a result, the aide smiled slightly: "Sir, I'm worried too much. The domestic situation is so high that there is no room for maneuver. Even if you don't send troops, I guess your Majesty will have no way to deal with you. What's more, once this battle is over, the soldiers of Dong'an County are the capital for the resignation of the Lord. Once these are gone, how can the King of Qin care about the Lord of Italy, the governor of Dong'an County?"

After hearing his words, Shi Wenhui nodded slowly: "It makes sense, it makes sense..."

A few days later, the news came back to Lingdu. Dong'an owned the county soldiers and did not send them to the front line. The county magistrate's statement was obviously perfunctory. After reading it, the Ling King was furious. A small county magistrate dared to challenge his kingly power. But now, after being angry, he felt deeply powerless.

Because Dong'an already has more than 10,000 county soldiers, if you want to handle Shi Wenhui, you have to send troops to suppress them, but the regular army of Lingguo is on the front line.

Everything was told by the staff. After King Ling was angry, he had no choice but to write another letter to Shi Wenhui and urged him.

As Dong'an County's troops remained unchanged, other county magistrates began to follow suit. The soldiers from the ten counties only sent more than 30,000, and the domestic and foreign troubles were becoming increasingly out of control.

In fact, at this time, the Spirit King could draw troops from the East Realm, but after hesitating for a while, he still did not move.

At the same time, Ruizhou battlefield.

Qin State had many detailed works in Lingzhou, either disguised as ordinary people or disguised as small vendors. With these intelligence bases, combined with Chen Jing's high-level secrets and letters from some gentry, Xiao Yuan had already roughly grasped the current situation of Ling's country.

In the central army's tent, all the generals gathered and stood on both sides.

Xiao Yuan was wearing a brocade dress, with a jade hairpin and a hairpin. He stood in front of the commander position directly above. He first explained the situation of the battle, and then said: "According to Jiang Yi's strategy, our country's political attack on Lingguo has played a key role. Now Lingguo is in trouble. The Lingwang has no choice but to return to the whole country urgently to deal with it. This is a drop in morale for the Lingjun, and for our army, it is a rare fighter jet, a fighter jet to win Ruizhou!"

"The king is right." Shangguan Wenruo said: "The Ling Kingdom is in turmoil, and the Ling King suddenly left when the front line is in danger. The Ruizhou Ling Army will inevitably be full of discussions. They will wonder if the Ling King abandoned them and ran away. At this time, we should add another fire, focus on attacking the spirit army's morale, and then attack it fiercely."

"If the words of this are very meaningful, Xiao Yuan said: "Immediately, I ordered Su Yi to write a letter, throw it into the city, disrupt his army's morale, and then attack him."

"Affect the order." Shangguan Wenruo responded with a bow.

Then, Wang Su stood up and bowed and said, "King, although Ling Kingdom is on the verge of destruction, according to military information, Ling King has not yet mobilized the Eastern Frontier defenders. There are 100,000 regular troops there."

Jia You took the conversation and said, "The Ling King does not move 100,000 defenders. One may be a national issue, and the other is that he has the intention of a retreat."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You are right. If the Ling Army is defeated in Ruizhou, the Ling King is very likely to retreat eastward. Once he is allowed to enter the eastern territory and seize the border, it will not be so easy to completely wipe out the enemy."
