Chapter 312 Grave Digging
"After the new issue of the newspaper was published, the response was quite strong. The case of Wang Zhen suing his father was widely discussed among the people. I heard that a drama troupe has already started to adapt the case into a drama.

This is a good thing. The more widely it spreads, the easier it will be for the masses to change their thinking. Perhaps in the future, this case will really become a symbol of new thinking. "

In the Prime Minister's Office, Xu Chen started chatting while reviewing official documents.

Next to him was a woman who was silently grinding ink. The woman was dressed in official uniform, with an upright figure and a capable temperament. She was the most eye-catching person in the Prime Minister's Office and even the entire Council of State. She was Cai Wenji, the only female official in Xuanxia at present.

For anything, once there is a first one, there will be a second one. Now Cai Wenji is obviously the pioneer. In the future, when women all over the world look up, they will see a specific goal.

Now that she has worked in the Prime Minister's Office for a long time, Cai Wenji is not only familiar with her job, but also familiar with her boss Xu Chen. Now she has completely adapted to her new identity and enjoys it.

Compared to fiddling with Bunraku, devoting herself to a specific career is more reassuring and makes her feel more valuable.

One's talents and knowledge should be brought into full play.

"What the Prime Minister said is that after a few issues of the newspaper, the public has generally accepted the newspaper as a thing, and the topics people talk about are mostly the things reported in the newspaper. After the report of Wang Zhen's case against his father, everyone in Xuanxia knows about it, so it is inevitable that the people will talk about it."

Cai Wenji smiled slightly and stopped only when the ink in the inkstone became thick.

His daily job was to polish and revise the many decrees issued by Prime Minister Xu Chen, striving to convey the meaning accurately without paying too much attention to the literary style.

Of course, Xu Chen would often discuss some Xuanxia political affairs with Cai Wenji. Although Cai Wenji was a woman, her talent and knowledge were no worse than those of Ju Shou and Xun Chen, and she could often discuss and give suggestions to Xu Chen.

This also made Cai Wenji happy, as it meant that her talents were recognized by Xu Chen.

After a pause, Cai Wenji said with some emotion.

"However, what the people were most concerned about in this issue of the newspaper was the manifesto to attack the Han Dynasty. After the manifesto was published, the people in various places were all excited and the students in various places were all in high spirits.

Upon learning that the army was planning to march south to attack Han, the people became very enthusiastic and wanted to donate money and supplies to support the army. Some college students in the academy even shouted that they wanted to drop out of school and join the army.

We, Xuanxia, ​​are united in our hatred of the enemy, so no matter how powerful the enemy is, we will surely be able to win the battle."

When she said this, Cai Wenji's long eyebrows raised, and her expression was quite proud.

If she had not come to Xuanxia, ​​perhaps Cai Wenji would still care about the old friendship of the Han court. No matter how weak the Han Dynasty was, it was better than the current chaotic world of disputes and darkness.

For Cai Wenji, since her father Cai Yong was murdered, there was not much left for her to worry about in this world. However, she had sympathy for the people of the world, which made her hope that one day the Han Dynasty would be able to regain its glory and bring peace to the world.

But after coming to Xuanxia, ​​she slowly lost her thoughts about the big man.

The Han Dynasty may be able to regain its glory, but even if it can achieve this goal, it will not be able to do better than Xuan Xia is doing now. In this case, why should we expect anything from the Han Dynasty?

Although Cai Wenji came from a noble family, she had no ill feelings towards Xuan Xia.

Her father was dead, and only two sisters were left in the Cai family to depend on each other. The status of the noble families in the world was meaningless to her. She only wanted to stay here and watch the man in front of her lead Xuan Xia to save all living beings, and then create a new world as the manifesto said.

"We can win." Xu Chen smiled, his relaxed tone revealing an invisible confidence.

Xu Chen stopped writing, stood up, and glanced at Cai Wenji: "Yuan Shao has already formed an allied army in the name of the emperor, and it is time for Xuan Xia to go to war. I will leave the ink here until I come back to use it."

Upon hearing this, Cai Wenji quietly cleaned up the table and replied in a low voice, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Xu Chen nodded. After a brief silence, he looked at Cai Wenji's slightly shy face under his gaze and said slowly, "After this battle, I will come back to marry you, okay?"

Cai Wenji's body shook violently, and then she froze in place, but she quickly came to her senses.

When she really faced this moment, she lost all her shyness, and when she looked up at Xu Chen, she had a smile of relief and happiness.

Their eyes met, and Cai Wenji nodded seriously without any hesitation.

With this reaction, Xu Chen said no more, just left a sentence "wait for me", and then turned and left. After getting along with each other, the two of them had the same mind. Both Xu Chen and Cai Wenji had already decided on each other, and this statement was actually just a natural result.

When he walked out of the office, Xun Chen and Ju Su, who had been waiting outside for a long time, followed him.

"Prime Minister, I have notified everyone according to your instructions. The pre-war meeting should begin in half an hour."

"Lu Ping, Huang Long, Wu Li and other governors, as well as important officers of the Yellow Turbans, have all arrived. Although the governor of Jizhou cannot come in person, he has appointed officials to attend the meeting. How Jizhou responds will be arranged according to the decision of the meeting."

"Also, the latest intelligence from the allied princes has come out. They have divided their troops into three groups and set out, led by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Zang Hong respectively. Currently, these three groups have just set out, and the specific attack routes are not yet clear."

The two of them spoke one after another, and Xu Chen nodded as he listened.

Needless to say, there was a pre-war meeting. After the meeting, the army, which had been preparing for months, was ready to set out.

The news of the Allied forces splitting up was not surprising. The scale of this war was already at the level of a decisive battle between the two sides. Once a battle broke out, hundreds of thousands of people would be involved.

The best approach to this kind of war is to divide the troops and fight on multiple fronts. A multi-front battlefield will test the strategies and abilities of both sides' generals. Even if one battlefield is unfavorable, it can be recovered from other places, which greatly increases the tolerance for combat.

Of course, this also means that Xuan Xia must also divide its troops to deal with it, but Xu Chen is not worried about this.

In fact, the last battle can be regarded as a rehearsal. Now it is nothing more than fighting again. The Yellow Turbans now have no shortage of talents. Wang Dang and Lu Ping can both be the main generals of one side and can deal with the enemy.

Xu Chen then analyzed the situation with the two of them, and gradually he had an idea in his mind.

All we have to do is make the final additions at the military meeting before we can march south.

Half an hour passed quickly, and when Xu Chen stepped into the conference room, all the generals had already sat down one by one. With steady footsteps, Xu Chen walked to the front of the conference room.

All the generals stood up and saluted Xu Chen. After Xu Chen nodded, everyone sat down again and the meeting officially began.

"My lords, our Xuan Xia's manifesto to attack the Han has been issued. We cannot afford to fail in this battle. This battle is only the first battle to destroy the Han Dynasty and rule over Shenzhou. Only if we win this first battle can we endorse the manifesto!"

On the wall behind him hung a huge map of China. Xu Chen cleared his throat and began to speak.

Everyone's expressions were serious. Although they appeared calm on the surface, they were extremely excited inside.

Yes, this battle must be won. Only by winning this battle can Xuan Xia's theory of destiny stand up, and people all over the world will begin to re-examine Xuan Xia and the Han Dynasty.

They will begin to wonder whether the Han Dynasty has really run out of luck and is no longer worthy of being entrusted with the destiny.

They will also begin to think that Xuan Xia, who has grown step by step from a group of remnants to where he is today, may really represent a new destiny.

Everyone looked at Xu Chen in unison, and then they saw Xu Chen stretch out four fingers.

"The strategy of our army in this battle is to take Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou. After that, Xuanxia will dominate the north and look to the world. Then the general trend will be achieved. Then we can accumulate strength and march south to unify China."

This is not only the strategy for this war, but also Xuan Xia's overall strategy for the future. It can be said that this step is the most important step for Xuan Xia.

In the Han Dynasty, the north was the center of China and the richest place in the world. By taking over the four northern counties, one would control the most important place in the world, and great things could be expected.

This was Yuan Shao’s former strategy and also Cao Cao’s route in history. Xuan Xia could also use it directly.

"Gentlemen, the time has come. Let's dig together the first handful of soil to dig the Han Dynasty's tomb!" Xu Chen's low voice echoed in the conference room. When everyone heard his words, they all said yes.

There is no need for any more Three Kingdoms in this land; just one Kingdom of God on earth is enough.
