"Shao Shangzao is right. I sent someone to be responsible for calling out to the people of Daliang. It's just that the State of Wei sent an envoy, but I have no authority to negotiate with the State of Wei."

Wang Ben showed a clear attitude of asking for guilt, and Meng Tian felt very unhappy.

During the negotiations, Duan Min left a text trap, but the Qin army did not find out. Of course, it was the Qin people's fault and they could not rely on others.

But during the negotiations, Meng Tian did not strive to show anything from beginning to end. When Duan Min asked for the printing of the book, Wang Ben got angry, but did not refuse.

Why did it all become my fault at this time?!

"you--"

Wang Ben glared at him and felt a little lack of confidence when he saw Meng Tian looking at him calmly.

When Duan Min whispered and asked to issue a printing letter, Wang Ben happened to receive news that the construction of the canal was progressing smoothly. Thinking of the overall situation, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

With a smug attitude, he didn't think much about it and fell into Duan Min's literary plan.

Wang Ben thought in his heart that Meng Tian had discovered Duan Min's tricks, so he deliberately did not remind him, just waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Meng Tian's attitude actually calmed down Wang Ben.

Xin Sheng was there at the negotiation site, but Xin Sheng didn't say anything. The old Chen Xin Sheng failed to discover Duan Min's writing trap. It was normal for the younger Meng Tian to not realize it.

The hateful Duan Ganmu, no, the hateful Duan Ganmu descendant Duan Min, will definitely give him five punishments after he breaks the city.

The so-called five punishments is a cruel method of execution in ancient China. First, tattoo characters on the face, then cut off the nose, then cut off the left and right feet, then beat them to death with a whip stick or bamboo board, cut off the head and hung it on the wooden pole to show the public, and then pound the bones.

······

"hiss--"

In the Duan family's residence in Daliang City, Duan Min hugged a beautiful maid in his arms, and for no reason he was covered in cold sweat.

He didn't know yet, because of his mission, he deceived Wang Ben and had already been on Wang Ben's list of killings.

······

"Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered the fault of the battlefield general if he does not follow the pedestrians in the army who are good at negotiating."

Meng Tian was unwilling to take over Wang Ben's fault, and Wang Ben had no choice but to do so. In the end, he could only gently lead the negotiation omissions.

In Qin State, the pedestrian offices responsible for negotiations with other countries directly accepted the leadership of the King of Qin and the Prime Minister. It is indeed unrealistic to rely on the generals on the front line to work as part-time diplomats.

Generals who understand military affairs and diplomacy have been very few throughout history. Such figures have all become heroes of a generation in history.

"I learned from this mistake and gained wisdom. I also learned this."

Wang Ben's attitude became softer, and Meng Tian was also happy to take a step back.

"Hmph, what have you learned?"

Wang Ben snorted coldly, feeling a little unhappy. Meng Tian said this, which was to admit that the Qin people suffered a loss.

"These dances are so disgusting that they make people feel uncomfortable as if they eat flies, but they also make people unable to express the truth to refute."

Meng Tian smiled self-deprecatingly, and he really had some enlightenment in his heart. When dealing with envoys from other countries in the future, more verbal staff in the army would come in handy at this time.

Zhang Zhidong treated Gu Hongming well, and I think the same is true.

According to the Qin military law, generals who commanded the army could form a shogunate openly. The shogunate members and talents could be diversified as much as possible. Not only did they need military talents, but they also needed to accommodate some scribes appropriately.

Even a Confucian scholar is not impossible.

"Okay, what are the flies?" Wang Ben interrupted Meng Tian's black humor.

When Wang Ben felt disgusted in his heart when he thought of the flying flies flying around the yellow and white things.

"Now, let's talk about how you plan to arrange these old and weak?"

The breeze blew, and the lights inside the copper lamp were shaking a little.

Meng Tian's shadow fell on the ground and looked mottled.

Unlike the messy shadow, Meng Tian sat quietly and slowly closed her eyes.

He fell into thinking.

Forty thousand mouths, even if you drink porridge every day, you will consume a lot of food.

Moreover, there are no spies arranged by Wei State inside these 40,000 people.

If the Qianshou, who did not know the truth, was provoked and had conflicts with the Qin army, blood was shed, and it was passed back to Daliang. The sons and fathers of these people would be even more determined to stick to Daliang.

"Good is where misfortune lies, and misfortune lies where good fortune is to rely."

After a few breaths, Meng Tian opened her eyes and uttered an inexplicable sentence.

"As you say that, is it a good thing if our army has 40,000 more elderly and weak?"

Wang Ben's eyes narrowed, and he had also read the way of Laozi and Zhuangzi.

"Everything has two sides, it depends on how people deal with it."

When it comes to philosophy, Wang Ben must not say that Meng Tian, ​​who has learned Ma Zhe, has learned from him.

The way of misfortune and good fortune depend on each other is explained in Laozi and Zhuangzi's book, but it is not as simple and easy to understand as Meng Tian said.

The key to bad things turns into good things, and good things turn into bad things lies in people's response.

The good deal is like Goujian, which almost destroyed the country, but instead makes it a waste of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall.

In comparison, Fuchai's response was very confused. He had a great opportunity to annex Yue Kingdom, but he failed to seize it and ended up trampling his face and committing suicide.

"Then tell me how to deal with it?"

Wang Ben frowned, but he was quite expectant in his heart.

Although he doesn't like Meng Tian, ​​Meng Tian, ​​who is trying to solve the problem, has no way out and cannot cover his ears and refuse to listen.

"First be good at nourishing and calming your heart, organize 40,000 Guizhou heads to watch the bloody past of the three families dividing Jin."

Meng Tian expressed his rough thoughts in his heart: "After the death of Wei Wenhou, Wei Wuhou persecuted Wu Qi. King Hui of Wei listened to and believed Sun Bin. King An Li was suspicious of Xinling Jun throughout his life."

"The dark side of Wei's history, especially the secrets of the palace, Qianshou was born with the idea of ​​exploring the secrets. As long as the scandals of Wei's past are revealed, many people will be born with doubts about the orthodoxy of Wei."

Historically, after the Wei State officially became a prince, in order to show its orthodoxy, he claimed to be Zhongxia, and the documents issued by the King of Wei were marked as Xia.

Qin later learned the tricks of Wei and claimed to have inherited the orthodox Central Xia. Until now, in the land of Bashu, Qin, as long as one of his parents is a Qin person, the child he gave birth to would become Xia Zi.

After several generations, more and more people with Xia Zi's identity were, and Bashu gradually integrated into the Central Plains cultural circle.

Unlike the ethnic registration policy in later generations, ethnic minorities have extra points. After Han people get married to ethnic minorities, most of the children they give birth to are ethnic minorities.

After two or three generations, the child’s sense of Han nationality disappeared.

"Disconceal his plan and confuse his heart."

Meng Tian’s proposal was just right and there was also a suspicion of promoting him. Wang Ben’s eyes were a little disappointed.

Just keeping 40,000 mouths for free will not bring him any benefits. Even if someone suspects that the establishment of the State of Wei is not justified, it will be too long.

Wang Ben's time is precious and he needs visible results.

Meng Tian noticed that Wang Ben was a little distracted, and couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart. He wondered if this final proposal could be recognized by this Wang general.

"After the Qianshou regained his heart, our army could send civil servants to mobilize 40,000 Qianshou to write letters to the Qin people in the city, and throw them into the city by a catapult...
