Chapter 80: The whole country pays homage, Fang Fang Xuanling is slapped in the face

When Li Er saw the Tuyuhun monarch personally lead all his subjects to kowtow to Qin Mu, he could no longer remain calm.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Just because he won this war, Tuyuhun surrendered at the sight of him?"

"Surrender is one thing, but to be able to do this, letting the whole country kowtow to him?"

Li Er widened his eyes, unable to accept everything before him.

Look at how Qin Mu is kowtowed to by other monarchs!

The whole country pays homage!

And what about me?

Recalling the scene of ten thousand countries paying homage in Chang'an City before.

Simply ridiculous!

Those monarchs from the Western Regions, let alone kneeling and kowtowing, even bowing seemed quite reluctant.

Comparing people to people is infuriating!

"This... I can't say."

Fang Fang Xuanling’s old face turned red with shame, and he couldn't say a word.

Before, he had mocked Qin Mu, saying that wanting to conquer a country was not so simple.

But only a few days had passed.

Tuyuhun could do this.

It was simply using the power of the whole country to slap his face!

How could he have the face to speak?

"Sigh!"

"This child is not something people can measure!"

Li Er looked up to the sky and sighed, shaking his head helplessly.

Tuyuhun Royal Palace.

Qin Mu sat on the high throne.

Piluo led the civil and military officials to crawl on the ground, kowtowing respectfully.

"Tuyuhun monarch Piluo is willing to lead all subjects to open the city and surrender, voluntarily incorporating into the Great Qin territory; I hope the Great Qin Emperor will grant permission!"

Piluo's voice was extremely loud, exploding in everyone's ears.

Fang Fang Xuanling lowered his head, not wanting to say another word.

Heh!

Slap my face hard!

I have lived for most of my life and have never been so embarrassed!

Li Er was even more upset.

To conquer a country so easily was Wu Li Ke a pie falling from the sky.

I'm so envious!

Princess Changle, beside him, was also looking curiously.

She had never seen such a scene before.

It was so much fun!

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Li Li Xueyan looked at each other, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Everything felt not so real.

"Good, Great Qin Minister Yan Song will arrive at the Royal City in three days; you can hand over all matters of Tuyuhun to him."

"From today on, I confer upon you the title of King of Hunxie, to guard Tuyuhun for generations!"

Qin Mu nodded calmly.

"Your subject thanks Your Majesty for the heavenly grace!"

Piluo hurriedly thanked him respectfully and then retreated.

The hall was extremely quiet.

Everyone had a stomach full of doubts, but no one wanted to speak first.

Each had their own agenda!

"Brother-in-law, why does he listen to you so much? Did you know each other before?"

Princess Changle, who was naturally romantic, asked the question everyone cared about most. Li Er, Fang Fang Xuanling, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou, and others raised their heads one after another, listening carefully.

"It's not worth mentioning."

"I just sent Lu Lu Dongzan to Tuyuhun in advance and persuaded Piluo to open the city and surrender."

Qin Mu smiled.

"Is it that simple?"

Fang Fang Xuanling widened his eyes, still full of doubts in his heart.

Can you conquer a country just Wu Li Ke that?

The key is that all the subjects are so docile, seemingly willing to be conquered by Qin Mu.

What is going on?

"Minister Fang, your previous argument is indeed very reasonable; in fact, it might be as you said, that wanting to conquer a country requires years of change."

"But you forgot a most basic principle."

Qin Mu said meaningfully.

"What principle?"

Fang Fang Xuanling couldn't wait to know what he was still lacking.

"The Lead Sheep Law!"

Qin Mu said with a serious look.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.

What Lead Sheep Law?

Never heard of it!

Li Er frowned, his head full of paste.

This law is quite interesting!

"Brother-in-law, what is the Lead Sheep Law?"

Princess Changle asked curiously.

"The so-called Lead Sheep Law means that no matter how many sheep there are in a flock, they will never take any action on their own in normal times, but will just stay in the flock docilely."

"If a lead sheep does something, the flock will follow the lead sheep to do it."

"Even if the lead sheep goes to jump into a river, the flock following behind will definitely jump down without hesitation."

"This is the Lead Sheep Law!"

Qin Mu explained patiently, and everyone fell silent.

Understood!

He treated all the subjects of Tuyuhun as a flock of sheep!

And that monarch Piluo was the lead sheep.

As long as you handle this lead sheep, the subjects of Tuyuhun will naturally obey his orders.

Everything that follows will be a matter of course.

In other words.

Qin Mu just used a very gentle means to transition.

The war is over, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt.

If you want to conquer Tuyuhun, you don't have to rush for a moment.

The first thing that needs to be done is to make them admit that they are a vassal state of the Great Qin.

Doing this is not difficult.

It doesn't need the consent of everyone in Tuyuhun, only the consent of their monarch Piluo.

The rest is easy.

Qin Mu will send people to take over Tuyuhun's power and military system one after another, controlling this place completely.

Finally, go and subtly change people's thoughts.

No matter how difficult it is to conquer a country, the most fundamental essence is just people.

Then just conquer the class with the most power and the fewest people, which is the simplest for Qin Mu.

A typical example is Piluo!

He is the monarch of Tuyuhun, with all power gathered in one body.

As long as you take him down, half of everything is already successful.

The things that follow are a matter of course!

"Indeed a good method!"

After understanding everything, Li Er couldn't help but sigh.

The Great Tang had not conquered some countries before.

But Li Er had never had such a thorough idea.

He always thought that wanting to conquer a country was laborious and thankless.

Maybe using military force to suppress it would lead to rebellion in a few years.

Such things are countless.

Moreover.

Li Er followed Confucianism, governing the world with benevolence and virtue, and could not do the act of forcibly sending people to take over other countries.

Fundamentally speaking.

He just thought that the Great Tang was the center of the world and didn't need to conquer others.

This is fundamentally different from Qin Mu.

In Qin Mu's eyes, it doesn't matter if the world has a center; what matters is to incorporate the whole world into the Great Qin territory!

What ten thousand countries paying homage?

Fart!

It's just gaining a false name!

Only strength, only conquest, is the only law to achieve the hegemony of the king!

This is the foundation of Qin Mu's establishment.

A few days later.

Yan Song led a group of civil and military officials to the Tuyuhun Royal City and personally took over the power institutions of Tuyuhun.

Thus.

The entire territory of Tuyuhun fell and completely became a vassal of the Great Qin!
