Chapter 305 Winning Ma

Although these officials in the Ministry of National Defense cannot be called peace advocates, they are all just muddling through their days with the mentality of just getting by.

After all, the country has been compromising and giving in to the outside world. As soldiers, they feel deeply humiliated, but they are powerless to change the status quo and can only become depressed.

However, after Yan Yin revealed the news that Qin Hao had disappeared, this group of officials felt that Bai Ye's foreign policy was about to change from defense to counterattack, and they all became excited.

Now they are all gearing up to avenge their previous defeat.

The few officials who were still stubborn in favor of peace had been kicked out of the temporary decision-making center by Yan Yin.

Faced with the official's proposal, Yan Yin shook her head and refused.

"No, this matter cannot be made public, otherwise the Qin Wangling will definitely take tougher measures to prove that Qin Hao is not missing."

The Baiyue Kingdom is not yet ready for war, and it is not wise to start a war rashly.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the officials, Yan Yin smiled faintly: "Just because we cannot disclose this matter publicly does not mean that we have to keep it secret for the Qin Wang Territory. We can reveal this to the other party during the negotiation and let them know that we have mastered the most important secret of their Qin Wang Territory. This way, we can take the initiative in the negotiation."

The officials immediately understood and smiled at each other.

"Mr. Regent, how should we proceed with the next round of negotiations at the border?"

"Delay it for now, don't escalate the conflict, but don't give in either, delay it as long as you can."

The Baiye Kingdom needs more time to prepare, and this stage at the border will also allow Xiao Qingque to perform for a longer time and gain more popularity and love.

Similarly, the Baiyue Kingdom also needs this incident to boost public morale and confidence, because the Baiye Kingdom has the upper hand this time, and of course the longer it drags on, the better.

At Yan Yin's order, the entire state machine began to operate.

Countless media and self-media have been unanimously promoting the border standoff, claiming that the White Night Country has gained a great advantage.

To describe it in one sentence, it’s winning, winning like crazy.

At the same time, Xiao Qingque's popularity is also rising, and has completely surpassed all national superstars.

There are also a lot of gossip about her life experience on the Internet, and countless true or false news prove that she is the missing daughter of His Highness Bai Jun.

These rumors can make countless netizens feel excited and thrilled even more than the current border standoff.

The name Bai Jun represents the most glorious era of Baiyue Kingdom in the past, and he is also an idol in the hearts of all the residents of Baiyue Kingdom.

Although he is missing, his daughter should be good too, right? As soon as she appeared, she was able to lead the soldiers and launch such a brilliant counterattack.

Many people have launched a petition, hoping that the government can carefully investigate Xiao Qingque's background and determine whether she is the daughter of His Highness Bai Jun.

And all this public opinion was under the guidance of Yan Yin.

She did not immediately declare that Xiao Qingque was the missing Princess Baijun, because this would arouse a lot of doubts and stimulate people's rebellious psychology.

After all, over the past twenty years, the credibility of the Bai Ye government has become as low as it can be. It has become somewhat notorious in the eyes of the people, and whatever it says will be questioned.

So Yan Yin did the opposite. On the one hand, he hyped up Xiao Qingque's popularity, and on the other hand, he released all kinds of gossip to let the public spontaneously discuss her life experience.

People are naturally interested in such gossip from unknown sources, and as long as it sounds plausible, they will believe it without a doubt.

Once the public spontaneously forms a consensus that Xiao Qingque is the missing Princess Bai Jun, it will be natural for the government to acknowledge her. Everyone will believe it and there will be few voices of doubt.

Because the people would think that the princess was "discovered" by them, and anyone who dared to question this would be standing against everyone.

While Yan Yin was manipulating public opinion in the rear, the confrontation in the front had not stopped.

However, unlike an ordinary confrontation, the idle Xiao Qingque actually notified the enemy's commander and demanded a contest between soldiers - without carrying lethal weapons, a fight with bare hands on the border to vent the accumulated anger of both sides.

The enemy commander initially disagreed, thinking it was too trifling. They were soldiers, not thugs fighting on the street.

But Xiao Qingque put forward a condition that the other party could not refuse - as long as they won the battle, they would return the captured soldiers, one for every victory.

It would have been fine if this condition was proposed in private, but Xiao Qingque used a loudspeaker to state the condition in front of thousands of people.

"Do you dare to fight us in a real man's contest? If we lose, you will hand over the captured soldiers, one at a time. It doesn't matter how many times you want to fight. If you dare not even accept such a simple battle, then go home and lick the ditch obediently."

Her vulgar words made her own soldiers burst into laughter.

The enemy commander is embarrassed. This is a good opportunity to rescue the captured soldiers. If he doesn't even dare to do this, how will his subordinates view him?

Moreover, Xiao Qingque did not say what would happen if their Baiye Kingdom won. It was a business that was sure to make a profit.

The commander hesitated for a while, and after asking his superiors for instructions, he finally agreed to Xiao Qingque's frivolous proposal.

Each side sent out ten soldiers whose strength was below the elite level. Under the gaze of thousands of people, these twenty soldiers began to fight with bare hands.

At the beginning, the two sides attacked and defended each other in an orderly manner, but later on, they stopped talking about tactics and just started a melee.

Countless voices of cheering, shouting and cursing echoed on both sides of the border, and the sound waves were like a tsunami, one after another, just like the most exciting sports meeting.

Xiao Qingque was not idle, he took out his phone and started live broadcasting, allowing all netizens in Baiye Country to watch this unique fight. Qinwang Territory did not broadcast live, but many netizens in Qinwang Territory went to Baiye Country's network to watch.

To be honest, the battles of these ordinary soldiers have nothing to do with being pleasing to the eye, but this kind of brutality and bloodiness can arouse the animal nature deep in people's hearts.

The battle was over quickly, and the Baiye soldiers won a tragic victory. In the end, only two wounded soldiers were still standing, while all the soldiers led by King Qin had fallen.

There was a thunderous roar from the Baiye Kingdom, cheering for the victory of their comrades.

The Qin King's territory fell into deathly silence.

The enemy commander's face turned pale. He had picked out ten soldiers with the strongest hand-to-hand combat abilities according to the rules, but not only did he not win a resounding victory, he actually lost so ugly.

However, he was very perceptive and saw the reason for the defeat at a glance - although his own soldiers had strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities, they were purely there to fight and had no awareness of fighting to the death.

But it was different on the Baiye Kingdom’s side. All ten soldiers were eager to die with them, and they fought without regard for their lives.

“Did you take advantage of hatred?”

The enemy commander muttered to himself, realizing that he had stepped into the trap carefully woven by Xiao Qingque.

His guess was correct, Xiao Qingque did take advantage of the hatred of the Baiye soldiers.

She specifically selected soldiers from the army who had grudges against the King of Qin to go into battle. These soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives for revenge, let alone a mere fight.

Such soldiers are everywhere in the border troops, and there will be some who slip through the net if you pick them out.

On the other hand, the soldiers under the King of Qin came to the border only to bully others and had no courage to fight to the end.

"Mr. Special Envoy, it's my turn now."

"And me! And me!"

"Don't push, understand? First come, first served?"

Xiao Qingque was surrounded by a large group of soldiers, all of whom volunteered to participate in the second round of battle. If it weren't for disciplinary restrictions, more people would have surrounded him.

"Stop making so much noise, just be quiet."

The battalion commander finally calmed down the noisy soldiers with a loud scolding.

Then, he turned to Xiao Qingque and said, "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, let me go in the second round. As the battalion commander, I cannot hide behind."

The soldiers stared at this shameless guy with their mouths wide open.

Xiao Qingque laughed: "Don't worry, it's still early, everyone has a chance."

Seeing the high morale of his own team, Xiao Qingque felt very satisfied.

The battle she proposed seemed like a sure loss, since there would be no benefit if she won and she would have to hand over prisoners if she lost.

However, the account cannot be calculated in this way. Xiao Qingque is using this method to break the psychological advantage that King Qin has established over the Baiye Kingdom over the past twenty years.

This made King Qin realize that the soldiers of Baiye Kingdom were not weak, but rather even stronger and more courageous.

At the same time, it also broke the timidity and inferiority in the hearts of the Baiyue Kingdom, making them realize that the enemy soldiers were vulnerable.

Moreover, these effects can be spread to the hearts of people in both countries through live broadcast.

Of course, the most important thing is to satisfy Xiao Qingque's personal pleasure, otherwise it would be too boring to just confront him here.

The battle stopped without even a single fight, and the Baiye Kingdom was about to press on with the victory, so they sent out ten soldiers who were ready to fight.

The ten soldiers stared at the enemy soldiers opposite them, their eyes filled with hatred.

The enemy commander realized that he had walked into a trap, but it was no use, the farce could not be stopped.

Their soldiers had always looked down on the Baiye Kingdom, and now that they had lost they were even more unwilling to accept the defeat and wanted to win back. If the commander dared to call a stop, he would definitely be hated by his subordinates.

At this point, his only way to rescue is to rescue all the captured soldiers in this way. Otherwise, his superiors will never let him off for such a shameful thing.

"Huh, what an idiot."

As the second fight began, the senior officer who was confronting Shen Cheng hundreds of meters away snorted coldly.

Of course he could see what Xiao Qingque was planning, but his commander was so stupid that he stepped into the trap without any preparation. Unless he completely fell out with his enemy, no matter what he did, he would end up embarrassing himself.

Shen Cheng on the side was also surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Qingque could come up with such an idea.

The clever thing about this method is that once the enemy commander agrees, he will never be able to escape and will fall directly into the trap.

The only way to save the situation is to completely crush the Baiye soldiers in the battle, but this is simply impossible. There is no gap in strength between the two sides. On the one hand, there are invaders, and on the other hand, there are defenders of their country. The morale is even more different.

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Qingque's operation was a complete win.
