"The King of Wei is polite, this official is Wu Hong, a guest of the Lu State, this time on the order of the king, I came to the Lu State, and I hope that the King of Wei will take care of him!" Wu Hong also smiled and returned a salute, and his tone was not a little arrogant.

"That's nature!" Wei Li said humbly, and then said to Si Zhong: "Si Zhong, make tea!" ”

After a while, Wu Hong sat on one side, and Wei Li also sat on the king's chair again, in this regard, Wu Hong took the lead in speaking: "King Wei, this official will be straightforward, why do you want to destroy the southern kingdom?" You know, it is also a subordinate country of Lu! ”

"This king has never had the intention of destroying the southern kingdom!" Wei Li said unexpectedly.

"Oh?" Wu Hong suddenly became interested, and then asked, "Since you have no intention of destroying the Southern Kingdom, why is it destroyed now?" ”

"Lonely's lover, who was raped and killed by the prince Yu of the Southern Kingdom, even if he was replaced by ordinary people, it was a great shame, and he was pointed at by his neighbors, not to mention this king, this king is the monarch of Wei, representing the entire Wei country, this kind of great humiliation, how can it be easily forgotten and abandoned, but even so, Lone still didn't think about destroying the southern country, just wanted to lay down two counties as compensation!"

"But my subordinates didn't listen to the military order, greedy for good merit, violated the king's order, privately led the army to attack Chiliang, accidentally killed more than 2,000 soldiers of the southern army, and killed the prime minister of the southern kingdom and the old southern king, which caused chaos within the southern kingdom, so the king simply seized Chiliang City and destroyed the southern kingdom!"

Wei Li had a preconceived idea, first blurted out the crimes of the southern kingdom, put the Wei kingdom on the front, and then said that he had no intention of destroying the southern kingdom at all, and the destruction of the southern kingdom was just an accident.

"I see!" Wu Hong nodded half-understandingly, but then spoke: "King Wei, since you have no intention of destroying the southern kingdom, release Changyu and return all the four counties of the capital, as for the grain obtained by the Wei country, the official is in charge, and there is no need to pay it back!" ”

Wu Hong took a step back, originally King Lu wanted to return the grain and land with someone, but when Wu Hong heard about Nanguo's crimes, he was a little sympathetic to Wei Li, so he made his own decisions, and even if King Lu knew that Wu Hong was in charge of his own affairs, it didn't matter, negotiating, he would definitely have to bargain, and he could put the land and people back, anyway, the purpose of Lu State was achieved.

When Wei Ya heard this, he sneered in his heart, and Meng Ge next to him also frowned, feeling that a big battle was coming.

Wei Ya pretended to hesitate, then sighed and said: "In this case, this king can only give up, okay, after a few days, he will withdraw the army stationed in the south, and return Changyu and his party to the ministers of the southern country, one capital and four counties!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Si Zhong and Meng Ge suddenly raised their heads. Just let it go? Didn't you just say you were going to fight?

The faces of the two of them were suddenly full of doubts, and they didn't know what Wei Ya was going to do.

"Haha, King Wei knows the current affairs, and this official will definitely say a few good words in front of the king!" Wu Hong immediately laughed, and his beard trembled.

"Then thank you, messenger!" Wei Li smiled.

"Then the official will not stay here for long, he needs to return to the capital to restore his life, and ask the king of Wei to quickly return the monarchs and ministers of the southern kingdom and the city!" Wu Hong smiled and stroked his long beard.

"Please rest assured, messenger!" Wei Li said with a firm assurance on his face.

"That's it!"

Wu Hong smiled, and then under the guidance of Si Zhong, he left the library pavilion and returned to the Pawnhouse to pack up his things, preparing to return to Tianshui to recover his life.

After Wu Hong left, Meng Ge on one side immediately stood in front of Wei Li, his face full of confusion and doubt: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you wouldn't pay it back?" How can you still agree to the conditions of the envoy of the Lu State? ”

The corners of Wei Li's mouth curled up, revealing a sinister and cunning smile, "What about agreeing?" ”

When Meng Ge heard this, he immediately suddenly realized, as if he understood something, and said with a surprised face: "Your Majesty, you are the envoy of the Deceitful Lu Kingdom, so as to buy time for us?" ”

"That's right, if Gu Ming disagrees, when Lu Guo's envoy returns to Tianshui, King Lu will inevitably drive the army to press the border, and we don't have much time to prepare, and if Gu agrees, King Lu will not drive the army to press the border, and will slowly wait for the news that Wei will release Changyu and return the land, Lu State envoy will return to Tianshui, it will take seven or eight days, plus King Lu will wait for news, at least half a month, Lu State will not move a soldier or a horse, even if the news is revealed, it will take seven or eight days for King Lu to send troops to press the border, By then we will have almost a month, a month, and for us, that's enough! ”

Wei Li opened his mouth to explain.

"But..."Meng Ge's face was worried, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing the expression on Meng Ge's face, Wei Li couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, although you are like this, you can buy us time, but if this matter spreads, our Wei Kingdom will lose its trust, and if you ask for it from time to time, I'm afraid no one will believe it!" Meng Ge said in a worried tone.

If there is no faith, then if the country asks for other countries, other countries will inevitably refuse.

"Lone will not ask anyone, any country, this is called the soldier is not tired of deceit, not dishonesty, you listen well, as soon as the envoy of the Lu State leaves, he will immediately inform the re-promotion, forcing the tree and the six county guards, and issue a recruitment order, be sure to expand the army by 20,000!" Wei Ya ordered in a deep voice.

When Meng Ge heard Wei Li's first half of the sentence, he felt that his worldview had been subverted, and he was not tired of cheating? There is also this thing, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression was suddenly startled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, 20,000 young people? Today's Wei Guoman is only 20,000 young and strong, and it is impossible to expand the army by 20,000! ”

What is the concept of 20,000 young and strong, compared to gathering all the young and strong people of Wei State, and farming or something, you also need young and strong to be able to do it, you can't just fight, don't farm, or what to eat, and it's about to be time to plow the fields!

"Gu hasn't finished talking yet, Wei local, only 5,000 soldiers are recruited, and the remaining 10,000 are recruited in neighboring countries, Gu knows, you must say, so the monarch of the neighboring country will be furious and stop us from recruiting young people, right?" Wei Li said very quickly, and Meng Ge, who was listening, nodded a little confused.

"What do those kings hate the most? It is those poor people, in every country, the poor basically occupy one-third, even in a prosperous country, the same is true, the poor are unavoidable, and what they hate is what Lone loves the most, what is lacking in the Wei country? Land, population, youth, and the most important thing for us at the moment is not the land, but the population! ”

"Lonely, it means to use food to pull all those poor people from the surrounding neighboring countries to the Wei country, and give them the status of Wei people, and those poor people have many young people, just because they are hungry all the year round, resulting in skinny and no spirit, and they are disgusted and disdained by those nobles!"
