The Resolute Cannon Fodder Teaching In Ancient Time

Chapter 93: Ninety-Three Treasures

Although they had to wait, the days were not so peaceful. Not far away, the Li family and Chang'an were engaged in a fierce battle.

The Li family was not in an advantageous position.

Previously, the matter of Princess Guba, grandmother of the Li family, framing the Xun family was exposed on the city walls. This caused unrest within the Li family's territory, leading to a loss of minor influence, and the people of Chang'an did not favor the Li family either.

In this war, although in principle the Li family was still on the side of justice, the tide had already turned.

In the days leading up to the Li family's attack, the streets and alleys were abuzz with the story of Princess Guba's plot against the Xun family.

Public opinion was unstoppable, and the Li family was no longer the side with the moral high ground.

In the distant military camp stationed in the north.

Xun Qianchun had not yet woken up. Xu Zhen used medicine from the system to treat Xun Qianchun's wounds, which healed much faster, but the Northern Army still couldn't move out and had to remain in the camp.

In recent days, people from the Li family had come seeking help.

The young general of the Li family who came to plead for aid made several trips. When he discovered Xu Zhen’s identity as the wife of the Northern King, he became even more cautious. Upon meeting Xu Zhen, he said carefully, "Mr. Xu, our general says as teacher and student, he asks for your help."

After saying this, the young general felt it was inappropriate and added, "Lady of the Northern King?"

Xu Zhen nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Let's skip the latter title," Xu Zhen said earnestly.

The young general nodded.

Xu Zhen asked, "How does your general want me to assist?"

"If possible, he naturally hopes for your army's support."

Xu Zhen thought for a moment and felt it was difficult to deploy troops, as the Northern Army belonged to Xiao Jiaohua and did not heed her commands. Moreover, she was embarrassed to act recklessly.

So she offered a strategy instead.

"When you return, have your General Li Sanlang recall the first lesson I taught him," Xu Zhen advised the Li family soldier seeking help. "Public opinion cannot be stopped. If he wants to regain credibility, he must use even more compelling arguments."

The Li family soldier received the order and rode swiftly back to the Li family's camp to report the matter to General Li Sanlang.

Upon hearing this, Li Sanlang pondered briefly and quickly recalled the content of Xu Zhen's first lesson: Although words can be terrifying, they are not necessarily true and can be broken at any time.

As for how to break them?

Li Sanlang thought of Xu Zhen's mention of "more powerful arguments" and felt he understood something. He quickly sought out the military strategists and discussed the matter with them. They decided to spread their messages in the corners of the streets and alleys in an attempt to sway public opinion.

Although there were no immediate results, the Li family strategist still found it incredible that the supposedly simple-minded Li Sanlang could come up with such a method. The approach seemed straightforward, but the usual method might involve taking concrete actions to win public support rather than such direct and forceful persuasion.
