The prophecy directly pushed him to the forefront.

He didn't think Xue Ju would do anything to him because of this prophecy, but this kind of thing would eventually leave a very bad impression on Xue Rengao and further aggravate Xue Rengao's suspicion of him.

Perhaps, Xue Rengao has already spoken ill of Xue Ju in front of him.

This is how a chain of suspicion was formed.

But at this time, it was obviously impossible for Liang Hulang to defect to Liang Jun directly, and the situation was far from that point.

As a result, the two sides continued to confront each other.

…

Finally, it’s August.

As the prophesied "Xin Ji Day" gradually approached, there was an inexplicable atmosphere of panic in the army.

Although the discussion about this prophecy has been forcibly suppressed by Xue Ju's order, it was still inevitably spread in a small area in private.

In addition, there has been a stalemate recently, and neither side has achieved anything. The soldiers seem bored every day, and they are more likely to think blindly.

The key depends on whether this Xin Ji Day can be spent safely.

If Xue Ju is still alive and kicking after that day, this ridiculous prophecy will be self-defeating. By then, the morale of Xue Ju's army will be greatly improved, and the morale of Liang Jun will probably be affected to a certain extent.

Prince Xue Rengao came to Xue Ju's army and reported the situation on the battlefield as usual.

"Father, Liang Jun is still holding on and won't fight with us."

Xue Ju waved his hand feebly: "I understand, step back."

Xue Rengao was stunned for a moment: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

He noticed that Xue Ju's face seemed a little ugly and he was not in good spirits.

Xue Ju shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter, it may be an occasional cold. It's just a minor thing. It will be cured soon."

Xue Rengao hurriedly said: "Father, do you want to cancel tomorrow's pre-military meeting?"

Xue Ju hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Xue Rengao asked a very crucial question, and even he didn't know how to answer it.

Xue Ju has proclaimed himself emperor. Although he leads the troops to confront Liang Jun, he still has to receive and make decisions whether it is news from the rear or intelligence from the front.

Therefore, meetings must be held every few days to summon generals to assign tasks.

But now, Xue Ju is infected, can this meeting still be held?

If it were opened, and many generals could see Xue Ju's current state, and then think of the prophecy predicting that Xin Ji's day was numbered, would it have an impact on morale?

But if they don't open it, what reasons can be given? Will these generals believe it? If it arouses more suspicion, what should we do?

After thinking about it, Xue Ju said to Xue Rengao: "Go and tell the generals and we will open it again in a few days."

Xue Rengao was stunned for a moment: "How many days will it take?"

Xue Ju nodded: "Yes, it will open on Ding Ji's day!"

Xue Rengao was stunned for a moment. He didn't react at the first time, but soon he figured out the connection and immediately said: "Yes, Father!"

Xue Ju did this obviously to minimize the impact.

He was in poor condition at this time. If he went to see the generals, although he could still handle political affairs, it would send a very bad signal to the generals.

Therefore, he postponed the time to Dingji day, because this was the day predicted by the prophecy.

There are still a few days until Ding Ji's day, and there is a possibility that his condition will improve within these few days. Therefore, as long as he appears in full swing on Ding Ji's day, the suspicion caused by his absence will disappear.

Sweep away.

During this time, he can also rest in peace and recuperate.

So, what if the disease is not cured by Ding Ji's day?

Then there is absolutely nothing we can do. We must come forward to appease the ministers, and then consider whether to withdraw the troops.

…

Liang Jun was also waiting a little anxiously.

Although it was the unanimous opinion of the King of Qin and the King of Qi that he could not hold on, Xue Ju continued to send people to challenge him in recent days, which still made Liang Jun's morale somewhat low.

If the prophecy spread does not come true, it will be a huge blow to Liang Jun's morale.

At this time, King Qin's illness had generally recovered, but considering his fighting style of taking the lead and often going two days without food and three days without taking off his armor, Li Hongyun still urged him to rest for another half month.

King Qin agreed.

Finally, the day came, the ninth day of August.

Xue Ju's general Zong Luohu came to challenge again, but this time, Liang Jun no longer cowered and really came out to fight!

Li Hongyun arranged his troops in formation and asked Yin Kaishan, Pang Yu and other generals to form in front.

Zong Luohu couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately led his army to attack.

At this time, Xue Ju's troops were at an advantage, and it was very difficult for Liang Jun to fight head-on.

But at this critical moment, an elite cavalry team suddenly came around to their rear and launched an attack!

And the person leading this cavalry was none other than His Highness the King of Qi.

Although he was only fifteen years old, he was currently wearing a white robe and silver armor, charging back and forth in the war, firing a string of bows and arrows in his hand, and all those who hit him fell down!

Zong Luohu was shocked by this heroic appearance.

This is simply possessed by King Qin!

Zong Luohu hurriedly sent someone to request reinforcements, but to his surprise, there was no reply from Xue Ju's camp for a long time.

As a result, Zong Luohu was defeated, and Liang Jun pursued and killed thousands of people.

Zong Luohu was speechless. He didn't know why both sides started fighting, but there was always no movement in Xue Ju's camp.

If reinforcements had arrived earlier, he would not have been severely defeated by attacks from both sides, and there might still be hope of turning defeat into victory.

Li Hongyun pointed in the direction of Xue Ju's camp: "Xue Ju has been punished by heaven and died! Everyone, follow me to kill him!"

Although Liang Jun did not receive news of Xue Ju's death at this time, his side had already won a great victory, and judging from the fact that Xue Ju did not send troops to support him, something big must have happened in his camp.

As a result, Liang Jun's morale instantly rose and he chased Zong Luohu all the way to Xue Ju's camp.

As expected, Xue Ju died of illness today, and Xue Rengao was also at a loss. In the chaos, he could only block the news while planning his succession.

But he didn't expect that in the chaos, Liang Jun actually came over!

This made him extremely suspicious that there was a high-level mole in the army.

But the problem is, even if there is a mole, there is no reason why the information should be sent so quickly, right?

Liang Jun didn't even wait for Xue Ju to die of illness. He had already attacked him while he was still on his deathbed. Obviously, this was not a plan to send troops after getting accurate information, but was planned early in the morning!

In the chaos, Xue Rengao was unable to organize a strong resistance at all, and the army collapsed at the first touch. After being chased by Liang Jun, Liang Hulang and other generals led their troops to flee and surrendered to Liang Jun.

Seeing that the situation was over, Xue Rengao had no choice but to surrender.

As a result, the battle ended with Liang Jun's victory.

…

At the end of the war, Liang Jun began to count the results of the battle and sent people to deliver good news to Chang'an.

King Qin, who has just recovered from a serious illness, is riding a horse and inspecting the final battlefield.

"Fourth brother is really a master in using soldiers...I can't do any better!"

He expressed this sentiment sincerely.

This is normal, because at this time King Qin looked at King Qi's performance as others looked at him.

Others didn't understand how King Qin fought those magical battles, but King Qin himself knew it very well. However, after King Qin watched for a long time, he still didn't understand how King Qi fought such super magical battles.

He could understand every step that followed. The only thing he couldn't understand was, how could he be sure that Xue Ju would definitely die of illness on this day?

"Fourth brother, are you doing this by suspicion, by mistake, or..."

Li Hongyun smiled slightly and thought to himself, do you believe me if I tell you that I have read it in history books?

However, in order to maintain his personality at this time, he still had to put on a show.

"Second brother, when you and your father were in Jinyang, I had nothing to do in the house, but I also dabbled in some divination techniques.

"So I watched the sky at night and calculated the date of Xue Ju's death, and then I solved it in one fell swoop."

The King of Qin was doubtful: "My fourth brother actually has such magical powers? Can you help me calculate how long I will live?"

Li Hongyun's expression became serious and he shook his head slightly: "The secret must not be leaked."

But while he was talking, he put on a slightly regretful expression, which made King Qin feel a little scared.

Could it be that...my fourth brother calculated that I would die prematurely? That’s why he refused to tell me?
