Chapter 124
Hu Hai first entered the living room in the mansion, followed by Feng Zheng and Meng Wen, and finally the three elders in the county sat down one after another. The elders of the county looked obviously a little hasty, as if they were thinking about Hu Hai’s words just now.
After the attendant served the tea, Hu Hai took a sip and said seriously: "Qu Yu was originally a land of Wei. He was occupied by Qin a few years ago. Although it was a bit vulgar, he did not treat you badly. Now Chu thieves are the remnants of the six countries. They naturally don't stand the peace in the world and launch a war to attack. Therefore, Qin led his troops to protect the people of the country. What do you think if the county officials think?"
The county elders have not known the news that Xiang Yu of Chu State came to attack. After all, the world is in chaos and there is no time to pay attention to other matters. It is a very good result to solve all the matters in the county.
Now that he heard Hu Hai say this, he felt sad and asked helplessly: "Your Majesty, Qu Yu has always had a good weather and somehow why he launched a war. How many troops did the overlord lead?"
"I don't know the geometry, but there is a saying that Quyu in Wei has always been a place where military strategists must fight for. The city is in the Central Plains, connected to Xingyang in the north and Chu in the south. There is no war these days. It is entirely due to the dispute between Dingtao. Now Dingtao is determined, so Quyu is bound to be affected. For the current plan, only Gucheng will be fought against." Hu Hai said seriously.
The county elder did not speak, and then said after pondering for a moment: "From the small city, the people live in peace, and most of the Yuanyuan in the world live here, and the virtues are everywhere. There will be soldiers coming in the uncontested land. The villain only hopes that Your Majesty will protect the people in the city, and is so grateful!"
As the county elder finished speaking, the hall suddenly became much quieter. When the battle in the city, there was no way to harm the people. Unless he surrendered without fighting, there was no other way. Hu Hai felt a little displeased when he thought of this.
Could this old man be willing to surrender to the Chu army for the sake of the people? At this moment, Meng Wen whispered loudly: "Three, please rest assured, Your Majesty has his own ideas. Now there are Qin troops in and outside the city. We will not enter the city and fight outside the city."
"If our army loses to the Chu army, it will surrender and will never affect the people in the city." Obviously, Meng Wen's words were just to stabilize the three of them.
Hu Hai understood and then said, "That's exactly what it means. If the Qin army could enter the city, wouldn't it be stationed in the city? I'm also thinking about the people."
The two sentences and the fact that the Qin army did not enter the city made the three elders feel much more relaxed. They immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you for your understanding, I am very grateful."
"Since that's the case, please ask the three of you to tell the people not to leave the city easily, so as not to make any mistakes. We naturally don't want to see such a thing happen." Hu Hai said thinking.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the patrolmen outside quickly ran into the living room, their faces not very panicked, but they didn't dare to say more when they saw the three elders here.
The county old man seemed to realize his embarrassing situation and nodded and retreated. Hu Haiyou's kind face immediately became sharp, "What's the case?"
The patrolman said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there seems to be Chu troops appearing thirty miles outside Quyu City. The soldiers may be inconvenient to be outside, so it is better to move them into the city."
Hu Hai waved his hand slightly and said, "You go down first, I have my own plans. In addition, let the soldiers outside the city pack up their things and enter the city half an hour later."
After the patrolman received the news, he went straight to the outside of the city. Feng Zheng next to him looked at Hu Hai in confusion, "Report to your Majesty, we promised that the county elder will not be stationed in the city. It seems to be inappropriate to change our minds at this time."
Hu Hai snorted a little, "Even if the people in the city are important, our Qin soldiers are even more important. Just now, just a polite word. How can 30,000 soldiers be stationed outside the city? If the Chu army attacks in large quantities and the Qin army is destroyed, how can we survive when we meet?"
"Don't I know the thoughts of the old county elder? When our army was defeated, he opened the city gate and surrendered. He could not only save the people, but also receive preferential treatment from the overlords. We became enemies in an instant."
"If you are really the people, why not attack the Chu army based on the city? It's ridiculous to say justice for yourself. Feng Zheng, you will go out of the city to rectify the troops and then go directly to the city. Meng Wen, you will lead the soldiers to imprison the three elders. After all, this Quyou belongs to the Qin Dynasty, not to the three elders. Similarly, this Quyou belongs to the three elders, but to the finale of the three elders. The politeness just now is just to stabilize them. You can do things quickly so that the Chu army will not be caught off guard."
Meng Wen looked at Hu Hai with some fear, just like he had changed someone else just now. Seeing this, Hu Hai patted Meng Wen's shoulder slightly and said, "The kindness is the most benevolent, this is a saint. I am just doing things for the world quickly."
The 16 or 17-year-old boy acted like an old man in his fifties and sixties. How could Meng Wen and Feng Zheng not be impressed? The two of them also quickly went out to execute.
Hu Hai sat upright in the living room with a rather ugly face, "It seems that Xiang Yu has come in person. If he abandons Dingtao and fights back to the water, Qu will be in danger."
"As a general of military strategy, I must have ambushed around me. Could it be that I will become a trapped beast in a cage and kill me? In this way, it seems that it is really dangerous to lead troops to Qu."
Meng Wen brought more than a dozen guards directly to the back pavilion of the county government. Before he could enter, he heard the laughter inside, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that Hu Hai's son is really young."
"Now, we can get two gold coins without any effort. If the soldiers don't enter the city, it's no different from the dead. We barely defeated the Chu army. We bowed our heads and gave it to the overlord to deal with it. It's really a killing two birds with one stone."
"Yes, I'm going to fight easily in the grade, and I really don't know how high the world is!"
Meng Wen was furious when he heard what the three old men in the county said outside, and immediately rushed in, "How dare you guys slander Your Majesty and discuss the government affairs, and take them all for me!"
The three old men in the county were a little confused. When they realized that they were all bound by Meng Wen, "I thought I could imprison you, but it seems that you are really looking for death."
"The military strategy says that it is easy to attack the city. You think Your Majesty doesn't know. I just gave you two golds just now, just to exchange for a meeting with you. General Li did not arrange a man when he left. You and the other three controlled the affairs in the city. Your Majesty knew everything he did. Now, I wonder if it was to solve the problem yourself or to help you with your help?"
Before Meng Wen finished speaking, the old man in the county first begged: "Report to General, we know that we are wrong and are willing to present the city to Your Majesty. Please stay with us!"
"Haha, give it to Your Majesty? This city is your Majesty's! Take it out and behead it!" Meng Wen said viciously.
The county elder wanted to say something else, but he never knew how to speak. He just begged for mercy. After Meng Wen beheaded the three of them, he sent troops to capture them all, including the three tribes of Yi.
When Meng Wen reported this, Hu Hai only laughed, "You did a good job so that you would not cause disaster, and you would also be able to defend the city with peace of mind. You also wrote a notice to inform the people, saying that the three of them were treason and corruption, and that they would not be punished."
