Chapter 315 Reasoning with the King of Qin
Puyang, Changning County.
When Su Yi used water and torrents to ravage the mountains, he destroyed the Jin army camps and followed the terrain and the final flood discharge site was also outside Changning.
The torrent was calm, but the countless fertile fields in Changning were tragically submerged and swallowed. After this incident, the people of Changning cried and cried out without any way to do so.
In the era when men farmed and women weaved, the destruction of land was a blow to ordinary people, and it is possible to imagine how it would be.
Some farmers also discussed together and went to the Qin army to argue, but were ordered by Su Yi and rushed back.
Facing the Qin army, the people dared not resist. They could only be silent and sigh that they were too unlucky.
The people were afraid and did not dare to argue with the Qin army, but the magistrate of Changning County was not afraid.
The county magistrate here is named Li Song. Seeing that the people cry all day long, he could no longer help it, so he immediately prepared to go to the Qin army camp alone and make a good argument.
At this time, the Qin army was sieging Puyang City. After the increase of troops, Xiao Yuan had already arrived at the front line.
In the central army's tent, the generals were discussing troops.
Xiao Yuan was wearing a royal suit and wearing a jade hairpin, and said first:
"According to the information received by General Lin Chu, Liang Wang Ye has now added troops to Guangling. Ren Ying's side took Du Yu as the general and led a hundred thousand troops to the front of our army. His intention was obvious to prevent our army from continuing to advance eastward."
As he spoke, he said again: "The Liang army did not make any obstacles to Ren Ying's retreat, nor did it create any fighter opportunities and time for our army. This shows that King Liang's intentions are so sinister. After Du Yu's front is transferred, you think where will his garrison be?"
Hearing this, people frowned and pondered, while Su Yi said, "It should be in Xuzhou."
"Well, Xuzhou..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Xuzhou is far away. If our army wants to attack Jindu, it will be intercepted by Du Yu. Therefore, we cannot easily advance, because Puyang is really a hidden danger at present."
"The king is right." Su Yi said: "Puyang's 100,000 Jin troops must find a way to eliminate them. Otherwise, if our army ignores them and continues to march, the Jin troops in Puyang will cut off our retreat, and even take the opportunity to counterattack Shanyuguan."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then we will continue to besiege Puyang with 180,000 troops, and continue to advance. In Xuzhou, we will fight Du Yu, so we can no longer give Jin State too much time."
"I agree." Su Yi said directly.
As soon as they said this, a soldier ran in quickly and said to one knee:
"Reported to the king, an official from Jin State asked for a meeting. When his subordinates saw that he was wearing official uniforms, he suspected that he was an envoy, so he came to report."
"Officer of Jin State?" Xiao Yuan was a little confused, but he still said, "Take him here."
"promise!"
Soon, the soldiers returned, and a middle-aged civil servant was following behind him.
The person who came was Li Song. He was about thirty years old and had a well-decorated beard on his chin. He was wearing the uniform of a county magistrate of Jin State. After coming in, Qin generals on both sides of the tent naturally looked at him.
There are many generals here, with swords hanging around their waists. When they see officials of Jin State, people's eyes are somewhat vicious.
Seeing this situation, if Li Song was not afraid at all, it must be a lie. He calmed down first, then stepped forward, bent down to Xiao Yuan directly above, and gave a deep bow: "I have met His Highness the King of Qin in the magistrate of Changning County Li Song."
"Changning County Magistrate?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately said straight to the point: "What's the matter?"
"In order to represent the people of Changning, I came to argue with Qin Jun." Li Song said directly.
"Assessed with me?" Xiao Yuan was angry and laughed.
Xu Hu glared and pointed at Li Song and said, "Bold! Little county magistrate, speak wildly! If you dare to be rude, your head will be unsuccessful!"
The power of the tiger general scared Li Song, and he couldn't help but slide his Adam's apple and swallowed secretly.
"Hey?" Xiao Yuan raised his hand and said, "Look at what this person has to say. If he can't speak, it's not too late to kill him again."
As he spoke, he also looked at Li Song and signaled him to continue speaking.
The latter inevitably became nervous, but he still plucked up his courage and said, "Although the King of Qin is the king, I believe that the truth in the world is the same."
"You want to reason with me?"
"Yes."
"In what's the matter."
"The destruction of thousands of acres of fertile land in Changning."
At this point in the conversation, Xiao Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and the generals in the tent also looked at each other.
Li Song continued: "When the two countries were fighting, the soldiers died on the battlefield, and there was nothing to say, but the people were innocent. The Qin army hit the mountains with a flood, and the torrent swept across the country. It went to the outskirts of Changning and destroyed more than 1,300 acres of fertile land. The Qin army had no responsibility for this matter? As the king of a country, did not have any responsibility?"
"Are you questioning me?" Xiao Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"I don't dare to do it, I just want to make the truth." Li Song said.
At this time, Su Yi spoke and said without hesitation: "This is a war. Everything related to war cannot be argued with reason. Don't mess around. If it weren't for my king's grand deity, how could you still have your life!"
"General's fallacy." Li Song defended: "The nations compete for hegemony, but the army never destroys the fields. That's because the kings all understand in their hearts that everyone is the Chinese nation, and the cruelty of the war is for the interests of the nations, but it hurts the people, and it is not done by the king."
"You are bold!"
With another loud shout, Li Song stopped talking, but just bent down slightly and stood below.
Xiao Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "Mr. Li is very brave. Since he knows that the two countries are fighting, how can he dare to come here? Are you afraid that he will not be able to go back?"
"I believe that the King of Qin is a generous person. He will never be furious because of his own fault and will kill this small county magistrate." Li Song said.
His words were very skillful.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he almost got angry and laughed: "Haha, Xiao Xiao County Magistrate, you can speak up and listen to how I am responsible for the loss."
Li Song said: "I dare to ask Qin Jun, the reason in this world is that no matter where one person destroys another person's things, should he compensate?"
"this……"
Indeed, this passage made Xiao Yuan feel a little incompatible.
All the generals in the tent were also a little confused, and Su Yi said, "This is a rude argument."
"What is a rude thing? Isn't it true? The common people's land was destroyed by the Qin army?" Li Song retorted.
"You!" Su Yi was so angry that he couldn't help but point to Li Song.
Xiao Yuan shook his head angry and funny.
