"General, no matter what, the Ailao chief has already killed his son. If we do this, will it directly force them to resist?" After the envoy left, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but ask Lu Meng.
Lu Meng sat back and laughed and said, "I didn't expect them to surrender obediently. What the king wants are slaves and countless labor force."
"The leader of the Ailao clan could kill his own son, which I did not expect. This also caused our great loss. Therefore, I can only continue to provoke the nerves and bottom line of the Ailao people excessively."
Zhang Zheng asked doubtfully, "Then if they agree, does the general really intend to let the Ailao people go?"
Among the ethnic groups in the south, Ailao had the worst relationship with the Chu State. Lu Meng attacked Ailao first because Payou Aru was famous for his arrogance in the past. Apart from Ailao, Zhang Zheng couldn't figure out who else to beat. After the beating,
, they will unite with others to boycott Chu State.
Lu Meng curled his lips and said, "Back then, Prince Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate King Qin. King Yan also killed his own son and gave Prince Dan's head to the First Emperor. Did the First Emperor give up attacking Yan?"
After saying that, Lu Meng said seriously, "Let the army prepare. If the leader of the Ailao clan can really endure this humiliation, I will admit it. Even if I get a bad name, I will destroy Ailao for the king!"
"If they resist, then I won't have to worry so much!"

What did Lu Meng want to do? He was never prepared to let Ailao go from the beginning. If the Ailao chief really gave in, Lu Meng would take advantage of the announcement of the head of the Ailao young chief and kill Pige Quanrong, the Ailao chief.
.
Capture the thief first and capture the king first. When the time comes, the entire Ailao tribe will be leaderless and will be overpowered by the Chu army. The only disadvantage is that Lu Meng will definitely leave a bad reputation.
If the Ailao clan leader cannot bear the humiliation and rises up to resist, there will be many opportunities for manipulation. Are the entire Ailao clan willing to fight the Chu army to the death? Facing the Chu army that is pressing down on the border, only a small number of people want to fight.
People's hearts are all divided, so why should they compete with the Chu army?
"That's too much!"
Ailao's clothing has its own national characteristics and also absorbs some elements of the Han people.
As the patriarch of the clan, Pi Ge Quanrong was not only wearing silk clothes, but he could even see gold and jade decorations all over his body.
The angry Pi Ge Quanrong turned red, and because of his shortness of breath, the big silver earrings on his ears were shaking violently.
"I killed all my favorite sons, and they still wanted to show my son's head to the tribe. Do the Chu people really think that Ailao is a tribe that they can bully and trample on at will?"
With that said, Pi Ge persuaded Rong to stand up and said, "Immediately prepare the army for war. Gather all the young men in the clan. We will fight to the death with the Chu people!"

"Chief!" Someone in the room stood up, "The whole clan is only 60,000 young and strong. Do you want to exterminate the clan in Ailao?"
"In what aspect of the Han people's equipment and fighting power can we compare? Are you sure you can defeat the Chu army? Well, even if you can defeat Lu Meng, their Zhongshu Ling Pang Tong will bring an army of 300,000 people.
what to do?"
Pi Ge Quanrong's face became more and more gloomy, because almost everyone in the room looked at him.
Judging from their begging looks, these people did not want to fight to the death with the Chu army. The person who died was the clan leader's son, not one of their own, so what does it have to do with them?
Besides, if Payou Aru hadn't provoked the Chu State in the first place, would the Chu people have the opportunity and reason to launch troops against Ailao?
When the flower growers were invaded by the Japanese, many traitors appeared. When faced with irresistible forces, people instinctively divided into two parts.
People with faith will fight tooth and nail to protect their home and country, but among them, there are also those who are afraid of death and have no choice but to succumb to the general trend.
This is true for all flower growers, not to mention the Ailao tribe. There are almost no people who are willing to go to war with the Chu army with Pige Quanrong.
Human nature is selfish. Faced with this situation, looking at the people who were against him and seeing no one in the room supporting him, Pi Ge Quanrong closed his eyes in pain.
"You go to the Chu camp again and tell Lu Meng that I agree to let him reveal my son's head in front of the tribe. I agree to surrender to the superior country and ask the superior country to forgive Ailao."

"The patriarch is wise!"
There was nothing that could be done about it. There were many tribes around Ailao. After the battle with the Chu people, the Ailao tribe, which had lost all their young and strong men, did not have to wait until Chu State sent troops again.
Other tribes will take advantage of Ailao's weakness to come up and eat Ailao alive!
In recent years, Ailao has often oppressed the surrounding small tribes. Ailao cannot be weak. If Ailao becomes weak, the tribe will really be exterminated!
"Agreed? Pi Ge Quanrong actually agreed?" Zhang Zheng stared at the returning envoy in disbelief.
Lu Meng, who was sitting at the top, smiled bitterly. This was what he expected. This messenger not only represented the Ailao clan leader, but also represented the entire Ailao clan.
The moment he returned, Lu Meng knew that the Ailao people would not resist the Chu army again.
The envoy kowtowed to Lu Meng and said, "General, our clan leader has said that we are willing to surrender to our superior country. Please forgive Ailao's disrespect."
Lu Meng waved his hand and said, "I understand, you go down and rest first. Wait until tomorrow, and you go back and tell your clan leader that before the time comes, I will lead the army to your clan and let your clan leader prepare."
"Thank you, General. I won't rest any longer. I am anxious to go back and tell our clan leader the good news."

"As you wish."
After the envoy left, Zhang Zheng said worriedly, "General, could this... be Ailao's conspiracy? In case they set an ambush, let's be careful."
Lu Meng smiled and said, "I understand your worries, but there is a high probability that this is just the other party's surrender. His son is dead, which is irreversible. For the Ailao clan leader, the most important thing now is to save the tribe.
"
"When we went south, you also saw that there are too many mountains and tall dense forests in the south. If our army cannot destroy Ailao in one battle and let them run into the forest, it will be too troublesome."
Zhang Zheng sighed and said, "The climate here is too humid. Mosquitoes, snakes, and rats can be seen almost everywhere. If we hadn't been well prepared, we might have lost a lot of people during the march."
"If it is true as the general said, the Ailao clan is destined to be exterminated. It's just a pity, general. It's a pity... your reputation will be ruined."
Lu Meng waved his hand indifferently, "For the king and the great Chu, my general's reputation is nothing. To put it bluntly, when the king is issuing orders to wipe out all the tribes who are our slaves for the great Chu, let alone my general.
, Your Majesty no longer wants to be famous."
"Think about it, in the history books of future generations, no matter how great the king's achievements are, they can't erase the stain that he enslaved all races."
Zhang Zheng nodded in agreement, "There is nothing we can do about this. The king said that if the Chu State wants to become strong, it must use the Chu Sword to capture more land for Chu Li."
"The same goes for slaves. With one more slave, our Da Chu will have one less slave to work. For the prosperity of Da Chu, Your Majesty, he doesn't care about this reputation!"

Lu Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, he doesn't care about reputation, he only cares about benefits!"
