Puyang, Changning County. When Su Yi used water, the torrent ravaged the mountains and destroyed the Jin army camp. Along the terrain, the final flood discharge location was also on the outskirts of Changning.
The torrent has calmed down, but countless fertile fields in Changning have been flooded and swallowed up. After this happened, the people of Changning cried and complained when they saw that their hard work was ruined.
In an era when men farmed and women weaved, fields were destroyed, and the impact on ordinary people can be imagined. Some farmers also discussed together and went to the Qin army to argue, but they were driven back by Su Yi's order.
Facing the Qin army, the people did not dare to resist. They could only remain silent and lament 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 was named Li Song. Seeing the people crying all day long, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately prepared to go to the Qin army camp alone to have a good argument.
At this time, the Qin army was launching a siege posture against Puyang City. After adding more troops, Xiao Yuan had already arrived at the front line.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the generals were discussing the war. Xiao Yuan, wearing royal robes and hair tied with a jade hairpin, was the first to speak: "According to the information received by General Lin Chu, King Liang has now sent more troops to Guangling, and Ren Ying, with Du Yu as general, is leading an army of ten Wan, rushed towards our army's front line with the obvious intention to prevent our army from continuing to advance eastward." As he spoke, he added: "The Liang army did not make any obstruction to Ren Ying's retreat, nor did it create any obstacles for our army. The fighter plane and time, this shows that King Liang has sinister intentions, and after Du Yu's front line has been transferred, where do you think his garrison will be?" Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly and thought, Su Yi Ze said: "It should be in Xuzhou."
"Well, Xuzhou..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Xuzhou is far away from here, and if our army wants to attack the capital of Jin, it will be intercepted by Du Yu. Therefore, we can no longer rush in easily, because the current Puyang , it’s really a hidden danger.”
"The king is right." Su Yi said: "The one hundred thousand Jin army in Puyang must be wiped out. Otherwise, if our army ignores it and continues to advance, the Puyang Jin army will cut off my retreat, and even more Even take the opportunity to counterattack Shanyuguan." Xiao Yuan heard this, thought for a while and said: "Then we will continue to besiege Puyang with 180,000 troops, and another 100,000 troops will continue to advance to fight Du Yu in Xuzhou. We can no longer give Jin Too much time."
"Wei Chen agrees." Su Yi said directly. As soon as they said this, a soldier quickly ran in, knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, there is an official from the Jin State who asked to see him. His subordinates saw him wearing official uniform and suspected that he was an envoy, so he came to report. "
"Official of Jin State?" Xiao Yuan was slightly confused, but still said: "Bring him here."
"No!" Not long after, the soldier left and returned, followed by a middle-aged civil servant. The person who came was none other than Li Song. He was about thirty years old, had a well-groomed beard on his chin, and was wearing the official uniform of a Jin county magistrate. After he came in, all the Qin generals on the left and right sides of the tent naturally turned their attention. Looked at him.
There are many generals here, all with swords hanging on their waists. When they meet Jin officials, people's eyes are somewhat ferocious.
Seeing this situation, Li Song would definitely be lying if he said he was not afraid at all. He calmed down first, then stepped forward, bent down and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuan who was directly above him, and gave a deep salute: " Li Song, the magistrate of Changning County, has met His Highness King Qin."
"Magistrate of Changning County?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately said straight to the point: "Why are you here?"
"On behalf of the people of Changning, I come here to discuss things with Lord Qin." Li Song said directly.
"Arguing with me?" Xiao Yuan laughed angrily. Xu Hu glared angrily, pointed at Li Song and said: "How bold! The little county magistrate speaks arrogant words! If you dare to be rude again, your life will be at risk!" The power of the tiger general frightened Li Song, and he couldn't help it. His Adam's apple slipped and he swallowed secretly.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan raised his hand and said, "Let's see what this person says. If his words don't make sense, it won't be too late to kill him." As he spoke, he also looked at Li Song, indicating that he should continue. Go on.
The latter inevitably became nervous, but he still had the courage to say: "Although King Qin is a king, I believe that the principles in the world are the same."
"You want to reason with me?"
"Yes."
"Regardless of what it is."
"The destruction of thousands of acres of farmland in Changning." At this point in the conversation, Xiao Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, and all the generals in the tent also looked at each other.
Li Song continued: "The two countries are at war, and the soldiers died on the battlefield. There is nothing to say, but the people are innocent. The Qin army hit the mountains with monstrous floods. The torrents swept past and reached the outskirts of Changning, destroying There are more than 1,300 acres of fertile land. The Qin army is not responsible for this matter? As the king of a country, the King of Qin is not responsible? "
"Are you questioning this king?" Xiao Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"I don't dare, I'm just speaking based on the facts." Li Song said. At this time, Su Yi spoke and said unceremoniously: "This is a war. Everything related to war cannot be treated with common sense. Don't mess around. If it weren't for my king's magnanimity, how would you still be alive?"
"General's fallacy." Li Song defended: "Countries compete for hegemony, but the army never destroys the fields. That is because the kings understand in their hearts that we are all Chinese people. The cruelty of war is for the benefit of countries, but harms the people. It is not the doing of the king."
"How dare you!" Another stern shout came, and Li Song stopped talking and just stood down with a slight stoop. Xiao Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "County Magistrate Li is very courageous. Now that he knows that the two countries are at war, if he dares to come here, isn't he afraid that he will not be able to go back?"
"I believe that the King of Qin is a generous man. He will never get angry and kill this little county magistrate just because he has been wronged." Li Song said.
What he said was very level. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he almost laughed angrily: "Haha, the little county magistrate is so eloquent, please tell me how I can correct my mistakes." Li Song said: "Dare you ask Mr. Qin, what is the truth in this world? , no matter where, if one person destroys another person’s things, does he want to pay for it?”
"This..." Indeed, this sentence made Xiao Yuan's words a bit inappropriate. All the generals in the tent were also a little confused, but Su Yi said: "This is strong words."
"What are the strong words? Isn't what I'm telling you the truth? The people's fields were destroyed by the Qin army, right?" Li Song retorted.
"You!" Su Yi was so angry that he couldn't help but point at Li Song. Xiao Yuan shook his head angrily and funny.
Seeing this, Li Song quickly said: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, you are the king of a country and the king of an empire. Regardless of whether there is a war or not, the people are the people of China..." ABC
