Chapter 839: Four hundred: Fu Yan’er is pregnant! The decisive battle erupts!
Despite having made up his mind, Suo Lun still fell into a bit of hesitation.
If it was about disrupting the morale of Zhi Li’s Forces, or even preventing the expedition from proceeding, there was no doubt that now was the most suitable time for Tuli Ming and Tuli Yang to reveal the ugly truth about Zhi Li and Turing Duo.
At this time, Zhi Li’s Forces had just set out three to four days ago and were only several hundred miles away from the capital.
Now, if Tuli Yang and Tuli Ming were to appear in front of all the nobles and lords and expose the scandals of Zhi Li and Turing Duo, there would be two possible outcomes.
The first outcome, Turing Duo’s reputation would be destroyed, and he would meet a horrible end. Zhi Li’s reputation would be ruined, the eight-hundred-thousand strong expedition would fall through, and Zhi Li would hastily return to the capital to put out fires and appease the many lords.
The second outcome, Zhi Li would call a stag a horse, claiming that Tuli Yang and his son were both fake, substitutes found by Suo Lun, and then underwent surgery by Sorcerer Yaomeng’s techniques to look exactly like them. Moreover, he would find an opportunity to massacre the ten thousand Army of Vengeance from Luan Yang City.
Which of these two outcomes was more likely to occur?
Without a doubt, it was the latter!
The eight-hundred-thousand strong army had already set out, and their morale was incredibly high.
For the sake of this expedition, everyone had paid a huge price and was eager to gain immense benefits.
For example, Suo Lun’s Chaos Stone Salt Field and the Magic Mirror Industry could be brought out for everyone to share.
Not to mention that the Turing Clan might also take away half of Yingzhou Island in the future.
Therefore, for Zhi Li, this expedition was like an arrow on the bowstring that had to be shot. The same was true for all the nobles and lords.
And most importantly, the main force of Zhi Li’s Rebellion Quelling Army was the three legions, which had Duke Turing Tuo as their support.
Would he care about the scandals of Zhi Li and Turing Duo? No, he would not care at all. Only some nobles and lords would care.
So, revealing the scandals of Zhi Li and Turing Duo now, with the greater possibility of being accused of calling a stag a horse and inverting black and white, would truly infuriate Tuli Ming and his son to the point of spitting blood. Moreover, a good hand would be wasted like that.
Then, when should the ugly truth about Zhi Li and Turing Duo be revealed?
Right before the outbreak of the great war, in an instant to shake the morale of the troops.
At that time, the ten thousand Army of Vengeance from Luan Yang City would undoubtedly defect. Then, Suo Lun would certainly not give Zhi Li the chance to call a stag a horse; the war would break out immediately!
Zhi Li would deploy several hundred thousand troops to attack the city while Suo Lun would bombard with hundreds of cannons; the shower of grapeshot would be enough to bring lethal danger.
And once Suo Lun’s siege faltered, combined with the scandal, that would be the most fatal blow.
At that time, the many lords and nobles would abandon Zhi Li directly on the battlefield.
Only when the scandal and Zhi Li’s defeat were combined would they have the greatest effect.
Without Zhi Li’s defeat as a prelude, the so-called expose of the scandal would be completely useless, definitely ending up as calling a stag a horse and inverting black and white.
With Zhi Li’s defeat as a backdrop, then the scandal would be sufficient to deliver a fatal blow to Zhi Li.
Then, Suo Lun could draft a decree on behalf of the king to remove Zhi Li’s position as the crown prince, with full justification!
After running the entire scenario through his mind, Suo Lun carefully explained it to Tuli Yang.
Soon, Tuli Yang calmed down and then began to think over the matter deeply.
That’s right, it was indeed so!
At this moment, Zhi Li’s morale was high, like the sun at midday! With the eight-hundred-thousand strong army set out to conquer Suo Lun, the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be shot.
At a time like this, trying to take down Zhi Li through public opinion was completely impossible.
Instantly, Tuli Yang knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Suo Lun, for clearing my confusion. I almost made a grave mistake."
Suo Lun said, "I completely understand your state of mind, cousin. Rest assured, I will certainly let you handle Turing Duo personally when the time comes."
"Thank you, Lord Suo Lun," replied Tuli Yang. "I take my leave now!"
After Tuli Yang had left, Zhuang Zhixuan did not hide her sympathetic gaze and sighed, "He really is pitiable."
Then, Zhuang Zhixuan looked at Suo Lun and asked, "If you were in his shoes, what would you do?"
Suo Lun responded without words, "You really don’t know how to make conversation, do you? Are you trying to make me wear a green hat?"
Zhuang Zhixuan’s face turned red as she said, "You’re prettier than a woman and cold yet charming; you will always be the one causing trouble for women. How could there possibly be a woman capable of troubling you?"
Suo Lun smiled and said nothing; he was thinking about something. Tuli Yang hadn’t seen any intelligence reports, yet he knew that Zhi Li’s eight-hundred-thousand strong army had set out, and even knew about the ten thousand Army of Vengeance from Luan Yang City.
And now, only four to five days had passed since Zhi Li’s Forces had left the capital.
There was no doubt that someone was making a big push. Zhi Li probably used all means to proclaim to the whole world, wanting the entire Rage Wave Kingdom to know that the encirclement and assault on Suo Lun had officially begun!
Especially the citizens of the Southeast Province, Zhi Li wanted to pass this message on to them even more.
Suo Lun’s end had come; do not join the tyrant in his oppression!
...
Following the prayer to the heavens, the entire Southeast Province was in a state of panic, with people deliberately spreading the word that nearly everyone knew about Zhi Li’s eight-hundred-thousand strong army’s campaign against Suo Lun!
In the eyes of the common people and even officials, Suo Lun was undoubtedly doomed, and of course, they did not want to be buried with him!
In fact, the people of the Southeast Province had just started to enjoy the benefits under Suo Lun, feeling that Suo Lun’s rise to power seemed to be somewhat better than that of Duke Zhi Wei.
But now, with Zhi Li’s Forces about to come over to battle, of course, they did not want to be caught up in this war.
In the past two days, the Zhi Li Sect had sent out a huge lobbying team to persuade the civil and military officials of the Southeast Province to defect and betray Suo Lun.
