Finally they realized what was wrong. They had been tricked by the rebel army and treated as spearmen. They were still wondering how the Four Nations Alliance dared.
"So, where is your current station?" Li Mu gently pressed his hand to silence everyone and continued talking.
"Chu State, Jiujiang County!" The envoy said directly without realizing that he had been tricked.
"Jiujiang?" Li Mu and all the generals looked at Jiujiang County.
This location was chosen very delicately. It was far away from the chaos in the Central Plains, but not too far away. Moreover, relying on Peng Ze, one could advance, attack, and retreat to defend.
"Actually, I have a better proposal. You might as well go back and talk to your king!" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please speak!" the envoy asked hurriedly.
"Let your great king join the Qin State as an official. I can recommend it to Your Majesty, at least for the rank of Jiu Qing, and you can also move to the Qin State and become the new citizens of the Qin State!" Li Mu said with a smile.
He was also very interested in the leader of the rebel army, who called himself the Dragon King of Jiujiang.
A guy who dares to repeatedly jump between countries and play with them at his fingertips. Such a guy is not just brave in any way, but he is extremely daring!
The most important thing is that he succeeded.
With the wisdom of Li Mu and others, it is very clear that the borrowed grain will never come back, and the other party will not help. In fact, the other party will not only borrow it from Qin, but also from allied countries such as Chu, Wei, and South Korea.
borrow.
The most important thing is that the Qin army does not need to borrow, but the Chu State has to borrow!
"The Dragon King said that your Majesty would definitely propose this, but we don't believe it!" The envoy said with admiration. The King was so knowledgeable that he could guess what Li Mu would say.
Li Mu was even more surprised. He was a capable man. Not only was he bold, but he was also very talented and knowledgeable. But how could such a person get together with the rebels?
"Can you first tell me about your Dragon King's deeds?" Li Mu was no longer anxious to consider whether to borrow food, but became interested in this unknown guy.
The envoy did not hide anything. He told how he met Jin Yao and how Jin Yao became the leader of the rebel army.
All this has been spread among the rebel army, and it is not something that cannot be said. The Qin army can know it if they ask around.
"What do you think?" After listening to the envoy's words, Li Mu looked at Meng Tian and others and asked.
"They should be scholars sent by everyone, most likely from the Mohist family, and they are the kind who are pushed to the top!" Wang Jian said.
This is how times make heroes. The opponent may have been just a scholar who came out to study, but because he sympathized with the poor people of the rebels, he had to help the rebels. In the end, he was supported by the rebels from all over the country and became the new king.
"I always feel that this guy smells a little familiar!" Wang Ben and Xiao Xu murmured in a low voice after savoring it carefully.
"The other party was not pushed to the shelves!" Li Mu shook his head.
"I would like to hear from you!" Meng Wu, Wang Jian and others all saluted and looked at Li Mu.
"The Emperor once told Mu that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The people are the foundation of the country, and the people are more important than the king! This Dragon King must be a disciple of the Mohist family, and he should have been one of the divine swordsmen who followed the Emperor.
one!"
"So, he is implementing the emperor's ideals and using reality to tell the monarchs of other countries that the people are kind but must not be bullied. Otherwise, just like now, they can overthrow the emperor's rule and establish a new homeland!" Li Mu
He said with a sigh.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that this Dragon King comes from the Mohist God-Slaying Swordsman, and his purpose is to tell the monarchs of the world to treat the people well?" Meng Wu and others were also shocked.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case. The other party led a group of ordinary people and wiped out the Shadow Tiger Army. Isn't this telling the kings of Han, Wei and Chu that the people you exploited are also capable of overthrowing your rule!
Now that they are retreating, it's not that they don't have the ability to overthrow Han Weichu, but that they don't want to!
It's not that they don't want to overthrow the rule of Han, Wei and Chu, but that they don't want to destabilize the world and let their own people die.
And this is also in line with the character of the Mo family. They start a war without attacking, but that doesn't mean they can't have a clear will!
"Go back and tell your majesty, I will try my best to persuade your majesty about this grain, and I would also like to thank him for teaching me this lesson!" Li Mu saluted seriously.
Meng Wu, Wang Jian and others also followed suit and saluted. The other party used practical experience to tell them that these superiors should not be bullied by the people and that such people deserve their respect!
The envoy was also frightened by the solemn gift from Li Mu and others, and hurriedly returned the gift awkwardly.
Li Mu did indeed return to Xianyang in person to report the matter to Ying Zheng.
"A Mohist god who kills a scholar actually has such a big heart and such courage. This alone is worth three hundred thousand stones of food and grass!" Ying Zheng said with emotion.
"Does Prime Minister Lu think that Qin should borrow these 300,000 stones of grain and grass?" Ying Zheng turned to Lu Buwei and asked.
Lu Buwei smiled slightly, "Your Majesty should know the allusion of the false way to destroy Guo, and it is the same here. No matter what the other party's plan or plan is, when the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there will be nothing in the world, on the shores of the land, that is not Your Majesty.
Where are the territories and subjects?”
"Furthermore, the rebel army was oppressed and had to rise up. If our country, Qin, can lend food to the rebel army and let them build a new homeland, it will not only be used to contain Chu State, but also inform all people in the world.
, I, the Qin State, are not tigers and wolves, we are not just domineering, we are also kingly!"
"Therefore, we should borrow this food and tell the world about His Majesty's kindness."
"To rule the world, you not only need to be domineering, but also to be kingly and benevolent. The other party gave this to Your Majesty on purpose!"
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was also surprised. The other party probably had already reached this point.
Qin can not borrow it, and there will be no loss.
But if Qin borrows it, it will gain not only an ally to contain Chu, but also a good reputation and an opportunity to wash away Qin's reputation as a domineering tiger and wolf!
"I really hope I can meet this Dragon King!" Ying Zheng smiled and continued, "In that case, let the general and the prime minister do it. At the same time, let the world know that I recognize the throne of the Dragon King of Jiujiang!"
"Here!" Li Mu and Lu Buwei saluted.
But what Ying Zheng wanted to do was not only contain the Chu State and win a good reputation for the Qin State, but how to govern after unification!
The Qin State now has the strength and capital to realize the ancestral wish of unification, but what about after unification?
The old forces of the Six Kingdoms will definitely try their best to encourage restoration and rebellion, and the emergence of the Dragon King of Jiujiang also allowed Ying Zheng to see a way out, which was to isolate the aristocratic forces and no longer be able to encourage the people to rebel.
