After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 288 Treat it with sincerity
But after hearing this, Yu Rang's eyes flickered, but he expressed his approval and said.

"Treat him with sincerity, and you can win his heart. My lord is doing this to subdue the hearts of the people of the Song Kingdom. If this is the case, it won't take long for these people of the Song Kingdom to support the lord, so that they can settle down sincerely. .”

Meng Di waited until the two of them finished speaking, heaved a sigh of relief, and said earnestly.

"Most of our soldiers come from ordinary people. If we can't make them obey stricter rules at the beginning, then when we fight in the world in the future, the military discipline will become corrupt, and the people of other vassal states will suffer. "

"At that time, every time we go to a place, the local people will fight hard, which will increase our casualties, so we have to take a long-term view, only in this way can we plan for the future."

"Shihuang, you have a relatively irritable personality, and you have become accustomed to many things, but you have been in Han for so long, and you should be able to feel that the policies I formulate are based on the people."

"Greatly restrict the rights of those nobles. Why do you do this? It's very simple. These people are the foundation of supporting a country. If there is no support from these people, it will be like the fall of Shangqiu City this time."

"The Marquis of Song first captured Le Ziming, and then fled to Jin. Under such circumstances, the people of Shangqiu no longer have any support for Song, which is why they fell so quickly."

After hearing this, Emperor Shi revealed a look of shame on his face, nodded heavily, and said immediately.

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates know what to do. If a soldier really did something wrong, then I will definitely punish him severely and let him execute in front of everyone, so as to warn other soldiers."

After the two of them took the order to leave, Yang Hu's face revealed a contemplative look, and he said with some emotion after a while.

"My lord's vision is really far-sighted. Looking at all the vassal states in the whole world, there are very few monarchs who treat the people well, but those who can conduct good governance are temporarily strong! The subordinates are convinced."

Meng Di smiled when he heard this, and encouraged Yang Hu when he opened his mouth.

"However, you were also in charge of the power of the Lu country back then. You should see these things more clearly. If you can use it on the shelves, I can rest assured that you will be stationed here in the future."

"Even if Wu or Chu invaded aggressively, as long as you can do it and get the support of the whole people, then there is no reason to lose. Now is a good time for Han. Jin has civil strife and Qi has civil strife. Worry."

"As long as we plan properly for a few years, our country of Han will definitely attract the attention of the princes of the world. At that time, we will turn from defense to offense, so the area around Pengcheng and Xiaoxian is very important."

"This place is an important place for the southern vassal states to attack the north. Once we have an enemy with Wu in the future, this place must be a key point, and we will use this as a base to develop towards the barbarian tiger."

"But there is not much time left for us, so we must stabilize the place in the shortest possible time. During this period, Wu State did not attack Chu State again. This kind of momentum is not good. You should pay more attention in the future." .”

Yang Hu nodded, and was about to speak when suddenly a military marquis came in in a hurry and spoke.

"Hanhou, just received the news that Song Guoyou's right master Huangye came towards Xiao County with an army."

Meng Di was not surprised but happy when he heard this. Under the current situation, Huang Ye led his troops and had no other choice but to surrender. , so he said to Yang Hu with a smile.

"Looks like this time, we have more reinforcements. Huangye himself is from the Song Dynasty. He must have come this time to surrender. If this is the case, then I intend to let him station in Xiao County. When the time comes, you will guard Pengcheng."

"In this way, after stabilizing the local area, you will join forces to expand towards the Yihu area. Mr. Bai has established relationships with many local tribes. It will not be too difficult. The only thing that needs attention is the movement of Chu State."

On the other hand, Yang Hu showed a worried look on his face, he was still a little worried about Huang Ye, so he reminded him.

"The people of the Song Dynasty have always regarded themselves as orthodox. This emperor is still the right teacher of the Song Dynasty. After arriving in the Han Kingdom, he will not even be able to get a feudal city. Under this situation, he will definitely feel dissatisfied. If he is left in Xiao Is there something wrong with the words of the county?"

Naturally, Meng Di had considered such worries, so he said with a smile.

"Since there is no fiefdom, there is no reliance, and when his soldiers become my Han army, we will be responsible for the supply of food, grass and military pay. Under this situation, even if he wants to rebel, it will cause Not too much harm."

"Comparatively speaking, if Huang Ye can sincerely surrender, it will benefit us more. It is easier for Song people to accept Song people to rule Song Dynasty, not to mention that Shangqiu has already been taken by Lu people."

"Under such circumstances, if he wants to do anything, he can only rely on Chu or Wu. By that time, our strength has grown, and we will have another excuse to attack them."

After hearing this, Yang Hu was greatly impressed. Mengdi had a very long-term vision, and when encountering problems, he could always make a choice that was most in line with the interests of Han. With such a lord, how could it be possible that Han would not be strong? ?

Half a month later, Huang Ye finally arrived at Xiao County with his army, and then sent envoys. What he didn't expect was that Meng Di was also here. When they met, Meng Di said with a smile.

"I heard that the prince came to vote, and I was so happy that I couldn't sleep at night. I waited in Xiao County for more than half a month, and I finally saw it today. I followed this king into the city. The banquet has already been set up, and I will not return if I am not drunk!"

Meng Di's enthusiasm touched Huang Ye's heart a little. Anyway, it is very rare for a defeated general to receive such courtesy, and he quickly saluted.

"The defeated general did not dare to accept the kindness of the Marquis of Han. Now the troops I have led have rushed all the way. They are extremely tired and lack of food. I would like to ask the Marquis of Han to treat them kindly. I am very grateful."

At this moment, Yang Hu behind Meng Di stepped forward with a smile on his face, comforting him.

"Prince, don't worry. The food for the army has been prepared. You just need to order them to put down their weapons, and then they can eat."
