246 National Righteousness
Li Ling's explanation did make Meng Tian understand the reason, but then Meng Tian's question came, because Li Ling obviously planned to directly send troops to attack the Xiongnu after Chang'an Jun Chengcheng returned to Qin.
"With the current situation of our army, attacking the Xiongnu is not sure of victory, and it is equivalent to relieving the siege for the Zhao State. It's not a good option at all. ”
"And what do you think?"
"I think that at the moment, we should join forces with the Xiongnu to attack Zhao, and maybe we can directly destroy Zhao. Or they can concentrate all their efforts on dealing with the most powerful of the six states of Shandong, Chu State, thus laying the foundation for the future conquest of the world. ”
"The old general doesn't have to leave, just stay here."
Hearing Meng Tian's proposal to deal with Zhao Guo, Li Mu knew that it was no longer appropriate for him to stay here as a Zhao person, so he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Li Ling.
"Meng Tian, let me ask you a question, where did you hear about conquering the world?"
"Boss, what you said, in the future, the whole world will be a scholar of Daqin, and there will be no distinction between Chu and Zhao, and the king will be the co-lord of the world in the future."
"But I also said that before conquering the world, we must first unify China!"
I thought that my theory was already known to everyone, and most people had agreed with my opinion, but in the end, I didn't expect that even the people around me didn't understand the meaning of my words.
"Whether it is Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao Wei or my Great Qin, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are all people of China, so I said that I want to unify China! They have been our compatriots since ancient times, so I don't want to see the Huns slaughter our compatriots, and the hardship of Zhao is also the dilemma of our China. No matter how we fight each other, it is all for reunification, but if the barbarians dare to touch our land of China, then we should fight back fiercely! ”
"But now they are not our Qin people after all, and so many soldiers of my Qin State have died on the battlefield, my father is ......"
Standing on the so-called righteousness, what Li Ling said may be understandable, but when it comes to individuals, it is obviously impossible to accept it so quickly.
Especially Meng Tian, when Meng Tian mentioned Meng Wu, not only did he stop talking, but even Li Mu, who was standing on the side, didn't know how to deal with himself.
"Then let me ask you, do you want your father to die in the struggle for hegemony among the princes, or do you want your father to die on the journey of unification of China?"
"I ......"
"One is that the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, and your father was killed by the Zhao people who rose up to resist, and the other is that your father died for the national righteousness of the unification of China, I believe you have your own choice in your heart!"
Seeing Meng Tian's expression change and change, Li Ling knew that he had almost made sense of Meng Tian, so he turned to look at Li Mu, but found that Li Mu had already turned his back, thinking that what he had just said touched Li Mu was not small.
"But, but what if we attack the Xiongnu and the Zhao people don't appreciate it? If the Zhao people are in the same stream with the Xiongnu again, or when we attack the Xiongnu, the Zhao people can't hold back the main force of the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu can concentrate all their strength against our Qin army, and at the same time, the six states of Shandong will join forces to attack Qin again, what should we do? ”
"Wang Shang has sent Feng Qujian to rush to Yan State, and Yao Jia has also set off again, just to prevent the incident of the Six Kingdoms from attacking Qin again, I have also made arrangements, and the purpose of Wang Jian staying in Yucheng is to respond to prevent emergencies outside Hangu Pass."
Li Ling told him all about the general situation, his plan seemed to be complete, but in fact it was full of loopholes, and it was too risky.
The troops deployed by the Qin army in the northwest of Longxi were too few, and the risk of traveling long distances to attack the Xiongnu royal court in the depths of the desert was too great, and if there was a mistake, these troops could be buried in the yellow sand forever.
It is also unknown whether Feng Quji and Yao Jia can ensure that the six kingdoms of Shandong will not work together to defeat Qin.
As for Wang Jian who stayed in Yucheng, there were indeed a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, but most of them were new soldiers, seriously lacking training, and insufficient weapons and equipment, and the more fatal problem was that a large number of grain and grass were requisitioned, in addition to the vast majority of the grain and grass sent to Longxi with great fanfare, a small part was secretly sent to Beidi County, and the grain and grass left for Wang Jian was not enough to fight a big battle.
"Can the master still trust the old man?"
Li Mu suddenly turned to look at Li Ling.
"Naturally, I believe in the old general, please say what the old general has to say."
Seeing Li Mu speak suddenly, Li Ling thought that he had figured out his plan to join the Qin army, and then lead the Qin army to the depths of the desert, and his heart immediately became happy.
But what Li Mu said next was obviously contrary to Li Ling.
"The old man is willing to go to various countries to lobby, I believe that with the old man's face, it will still have a certain effect, and at the same time, the old man can also return to Zhao and try his best to persuade my king to drag the main force of the Huns and buy time for the master."
When he said that he would return to Zhao State, Li Mu gritted his teeth fiercely, this was a very difficult decision.
Attacking the Xiongnu royal court is certainly his hope, but what Li Ling said has completely moved Li Mu, perhaps, he should contribute to the national righteousness at this moment.
As for returning to Zhao State, Li Mu knew that if he went back to die for a lifetime, King Zhao would definitely find trouble for himself, not only himself, but even his family in Zhao State would probably be implicated, but he was still determined to take a risk.
"Forget it, Zhao Guo, don't go back, I don't believe that Guo Kai and Zhao Wangqian will let you go. And I had a deal with Guo Kai at the beginning, but the premise was that you couldn't go back to Zhao State. ”
Hearing that Li Mu wanted to return to Zhao State, Li Ling categorically would not agree.
Li Mu is a big baby, and there must be no mistakes.
"Meng Tian, you immediately send someone to send a letter to your younger brother Meng Yi, telling him that you must find a way to spread the remarks I just said as quickly as possible, and the bigger the trouble, the better, and let those Confucian masters in the six countries of Shandong discuss it!"
Li Mu couldn't go, but Li Ling suddenly thought of another way, that is, those Confucian scholars who like to talk loudly on weekdays, their own views do not conflict with theirs, and they have a certain right to speak in various countries, maybe through them can completely disintegrate the possibility of the six countries together.
"Is that okay?"
"Whatever he doesn't do, give it a try. I can't let the old general take risks, can I? What's more, I hope that the old general can personally lead the Great Qin Iron Cavalry to smash the Xiongnu royal court! ”
Looking at Li Mu, Li Ling strengthened his thoughts.
