Chapter 238 The Rebels Arrive
Hearing that the Qin army led by Wang Bi had arrived, many people who had fled due to the rebels gathered over. Wang Bi not only set up a camp for them to stay, but also provided them with food and drink. .
These people used to have a bad impression of the Qin army. They regarded them like tigers and wolves, with fear, fear, and maybe even some hatred. But now when they see the Qin army patrolling the camp, they actually feel... The feeling of "Qin Jun is coming, we are safe".
The Qin army, whom they regarded as tigers and wolves, became their protectors, while the people they trusted and admired became their perpetrators. It must be said that this is very dark humor.
Wang Ben was taking Han Xin to inspect the refugee camp. When he saw him coming, the people knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to him. The people's mind was very simple. Whoever treats them well would be treated favorably. Wang Ben led the Qin army If you come and save them, you should be grateful.
Looking at the refugees kneeling on the ground, Wang Ben was about to say something. Suddenly a Qin soldier ran over and said to Wang Ben: "General, the rebels have sent an envoy to see the general!"
The rebels will send an envoy here. , Wang Ben was not surprised, Calmly said: "They still dare to send an envoy? Forget it, let's see who is coming and why."
Wang Ben returned to the commander's tent and soon saw the rebel envoy, who was someone he knew. , the original Chu State Commander Yin Songyi.
Although they were enemies of each other, Song Yi still saluted Wang Ben: "Song Yi from Chu has met Marquis Tongwu!"
Wang Ben glanced at Song Yi and said meaningfully : "Who is this Marquis? He was originally the Ling Yin of Chu State. I have always felt deeply regretful that I could not see Ling Yin back then. I never thought that I would see him here today."
Song Yi also heard the meaning of Wang Ben's words. When the Chu Kingdom was conquered, you old boy ran too fast and didn't catch you, so I didn't see you, but it's not too late to see you today.
Song Yidao: "Marquis Tongwu is wrong. I am no longer the commander of the Chu Kingdom!"
Wang Ben couldn't deny it and said: "Really? I heard that the Chu Kingdom died but I didn't. Zheng has been restored to power, and I thought that you are still the commander of Chu State. Is this news really wrong? "
Now? When Song Yi was about to reply something, he was interrupted by Wang Ben before he could speak: "Okay, your Excellency is the messenger of the rebels. Let's be honest. What are you doing here?"
Song Yi was serious about Wang Ben. He corrected: "I am not an envoy of the rebels, I am an upright envoy of the Chu State, here on the order of the King of Chu!"
The other Qin generals in the military tent showed disdain on their faces, Chu State? Wasn't that thing swept into the pile of bamboo slips two years ago, including those Chu kings, Fu Chu, and Xiong Qi?
Speaking of which, Xiong Qi once served the Qin Dynasty and made great contributions. Unfortunately, he betrayed the Qin Dynasty in the end. After being defeated by Chu, he was proclaimed King of Chu, and was eventually defeated and died.
Wang Ben said: "Oh, another King of Chu has been established? Who is it this time? The son of Lord Changping, or the grandson of Hui Cu?"
Song Yidao: "The king is the grandson of King Huai. His identity is Noble, inherit the name of the throne "That's right."
Wang Ben said: "The grandson of King Chu Huai? You really know how to find someone? King Chu Huai visited our country in the past, and I just invited him to come and see what his ancestors did. Place of residence.”
King Huai of Chu was regarded as a promising monarch in the minds of the Chu people. Although he had his faults, he also made meritorious deeds. He achieved some benefits for Chu State at that time, such as defeating Wei State and serving as the commander of the Five Kingdoms Alliance. Qin destroyed the Yue State, allowing the Chu State to annex the land of the Yue people.
King Huai of Chu is also a big regret in the hearts of many Chu people, because he was deceived by King Zhaoxiang of Qin and went to Qin, and then he was not released again, and eventually died of illness in Xianyang.
What is lost is the best. When King Huai of Chu was trapped in the Qin State and passed away in Xianyang, the people of Chu began to miss this King of Chu. They thought that if King Huai was still there, I would be great in Chu. He will not be reduced to this situation. It was precisely because the people of Qin were afraid of King Huai and knew that if King Huai was alive, he would definitely not be a match for Chu, they used despicable means to trick King Huai into Qin.
The main idea is that it is best if one is lost. If King Huai is still there, what else will happen to Qin? I, the great Chu, must be the only one in the world, sweeping across the eight wastelands and Liuhe, and unifying the world.
This kind of thinking became even more serious as the subsequent king of Chu failed to live up to expectations, which was deeply regretted by the people of Chu.
Now that he heard Wang Ben mention this old incident, Song Yi couldn't help but get angry, but before he could speak, Wang Ben said: "It's all in the past, let's talk about why you are here. "
Song Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and said bluntly: "With the wisdom of Tong Wuhou, I must have known why I came here today? Food, thousands of horses, thousands of armors..."
Before he finished speaking, a Qin general in the tent said: "It's absolutely impossible! Not to mention whether we have so much food, grass and weapons. Yes, why should we wait with you? "
They are here to suppress the rebellion, and they are not escorting the rebels. So don't they become the captain of the transportation brigade?
Song Yi glanced at the Qin general who was speaking and said: "Now that the world is the land of Qin, all the people in the world are naturally the people of Qin. I guess you don't want to see any 'Qin people' being killed?"
Then The Qin general who spoke in his name had a serious face and stared at Song Yi fiercely: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of this camp today?"
Song Yi He didn't care about this threat, and even saw the Qin people being defeated. He felt inexplicably happy in his heart, and fearlessly said: "Why do you think I dare to come?"
Looking at Song Yi's face, "Song's The good head is here, if you have the ability, just kill me." Many generals in the tent couldn't help but feel angry.
They were actually threatened by a Chu man, using the same shameless and absurd reason, but it was hard for them to refute.
Because His Majesty is now implementing the policy of converting the people of the world into Qin people. Under this background, as His Majesty's generals, who dares to say that the people here are not Qin people? Doesn’t that undermine the tone of governance set by His Majesty?
If His Majesty is held accountable afterwards, it may be more serious than defeat, because there are many reasons for defeat, but it is a lack of political awareness.
Wang Ben was not angry and asked calmly: "You used to accuse me of Da Qin being a tiger and a wolf and acting violently. So what if you act in this way now? And if you act like this, you will not be afraid of doing anything. What do people in the world mean?” What's more, how can we do this? Although the world is big, we have no place to stand. If this is the case, why should we fear being criticized by the people of the world and left in history? "
You Qin people forced us to do this, and we had no choice but to do this. You have made it impossible for us to gain a foothold on this land, so why should we worry about the future?
Song Yi continued: "As for Lord Wu and you, I know that the Qin army is good at fighting, but there are too many casualties here. If you return to Xianyang, it's hard to return to the King of Qin, right?"
Seeing that Song Yi deliberately Calling Emperor Qin King of Qin, a general said: "There is no King of Qin in the world today, only His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"
Song Yidao said: "What credit does he have, and he dares to call him 'Emperor'? He only relies on the surplus accumulated by his ancestors to be where he is today. This is the joint contribution of all the kings of Qin. How can he be allowed to live alone?"
That Zhao What ability does Zheng have? If it were not for the family fortune accumulated by successive Qin kings for more than a hundred years, he could destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world?
If they were in Zhao Zheng's position, they could do it!
