Chapter 1113: Traitor
Chapter 1113: Traitor
What Murong Lin said was not exactly the same as what Murong Ke thought, but there were seven categories of the same.
Looking at Murong Lin, Murong Ke nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Murong Shao: "Do you understand now?" ”
"Child...... Ashamed. ”
Murong Shao only felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Although Murong Shao still had some difficulty accepting the release of the prisoners, his father's military order had been issued, and he could only obey it.
After a while, another soldier came to report.
"General, someone from the Qiao family is here, saying that they have something important to see you."
"Let them come."
A fat man with a big belly and a shrewd face walked over under the guidance of the soldiers, and he was Qiao Gui, the son of Qiao Sheng, the head of the Qiao family.
As soon as Qiao Gui saw Murong Ke, he congratulated him very warmly: "Congratulations to the general for taking this city and completely solving the crisis of grain and grass." ”
Although without the Qiao family's intelligence and guidance, Murong Ke would never have taken this city so easily, but he still didn't have any good feelings for these traitors, and said extremely coldly: "Is there any new information?" ”
The fat man Qiao Gui's words seemed to be complimentary, but in fact, he was also emphasizing the merits of his family, but he didn't expect Murong Ke to be so faceless, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly for a while.
"Damn Murong Ke, you dare to give Lao Tzu a face, if it weren't for the information of my Qiao family, you wouldn't know where it is."
Qiao Fatzi greeted all the eighteen generations of Murong Ke's ancestors in his heart, but he still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a flattering smile: "The general is really as wise as a torch, there is indeed new information from Taiyuan......
Qiao Fatzi wanted to report by himself, but he didn't want Murong Ke to stretch out his hand directly, obviously not ready to listen to his report, but to see it himself.
Qiao Fatzi's face stiffened, and after greeting Murong Ke's ancestor for eighteen generations in his heart, he handed over the document with a smile.
Qiao Fatzi actually understands in his heart that Murong Ke looks down on himself as traitors in his heart, but your Murong family is also a traitor in Xianbei, everyone is a traitor, no one is nobler than the other, why do you look down on me?
Qiao Fatzi deliberately ignored one point, that is, the Murong family had done their best for Xianbei, and it was only after the demise of Xianbei that Yuanmeng was forced to surrender, and if he didn't surrender, he could only be exterminated.
And the rebellion of the Qiao family was when Qin Wen did not feel sorry for the Qiao family, but also had great kindness to the Qiao family, but they took the initiative to rebel and take refuge in Yuanmeng as traitors.
There is simply no comparison between the two.
Murong Ke didn't want to see him, and Qiao Fat naturally didn't want to stay to see his face, and he was about to leave after leaving the information, but when he walked to the door, Murong Ke asked a cold question.
"Mr. Qiao, as far as this general knows, Mr. Qiao Sheng, my father, was unclothed in his early years, first worked as a pawnshop guy, then opened a forage shop, and also did tofu, bean sprouts and odd groceries and other businesses, until he got the support of the Qin family after settling with a person surnamed Qin, so your Qiao family can become the eight families of Jin merchants, and this person surnamed Qin is Qin Wen's brother Qin Jian."
At this time, a trace of incomprehension flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, and he continued to ask: "Your father and Qin Jian are righteous brothers, relying on the relationship with Qin Jian, your Qiao family can develop in a stable manner, why do you want to take the risk of exterminating the clan to join me Yuanmeng?" ”
This time, Murong Ke saved face for Qiao Fatzi, and there was another meaning in his words, that is, your Qiao family will rise entirely because of the Qin family, and the Qin family has nothing to be sorry for you, but why should you betray the Qin family ungratefully?
If these words were said directly, he would completely turn his face with the Qiao family, so Murong Ke changed his way to knock on the side, and he was really curious about what these traitors thought.
Qiao Fatzi obviously didn't hear the deep meaning of Murong Ke's words, and looked at Murong Ke with a strange expression, and said as a matter of course: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places."
Although the Qin family is very kind to my Qiao family, they can no longer let my Qiao family go further, what does it matter if they take refuge in Yuanmeng for the sake of the family's great cause? ”
Murong Ke was stunned when he heard this, he originally thought that these Jin merchants were just for self-preservation, after all, there were many families in the north who had smuggled materials to Yuanmeng, and Qin Wen also hated this matter very much, once he found out, he would definitely destroy the family, but he didn't want to just the Qin family could not satisfy their appetite.
"Businessmen pursue profit, what a group of despicable villains who have no king, no father, and no loyalty."
Although Murong Ke was extremely disdainful in his heart, he didn't care too much, after all, if he wanted to capture Zhenbei Pass, he had to rely on the help of these people.
After opening the letterhead, only seeing the content of the first line couldn't help but make Murong Ke's pupils shrink.
I saw that the letter said: Wang Meng led the 40,000 army of Yanmen, Xi Zhicai led the 20,000 army of Taiyuan, and was about to enter the Yinchuan territory, while Yang Ye had led the 40,000 army through Yinshan County and was about to enter Ningxia County.
The elite of the 100,000 Jin army is about to attack, and Rao is Murong Ke has already been mentally prepared, and he is still shocked by the reaction speed of the Jin army.
"It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has failed, but the information is still leaked, and now Qin Wen attaches great importance to us, and he sent 100,000 elite Jin troops to crusade at once, and the next action may not be easy."
A general in black armor said to Murong Ke, but Murong Ke said indifferently: "Fortunately, I took this into account before I came, otherwise I am afraid that I would have been caught off guard." ”
"Looks like you've got a plan for it."
The black-armored general smiled lightly, while Murong Ke smiled and didn't say anything.
Soon, Murong Ke summoned all the generals and ordered: "Immediately send an order to collect all the grain and grass in the hands of the people in the city, distribute them for ten days, and then drive all the people of the city out of the city, and then ......"
As he spoke, a trace of coldness flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, and he said coldly: "Burn this city." ”
"What?"
The generals were shocked when they heard this, obviously they were still talking about buying the hearts of the people just now, why are they driving the people to burn the city now?
Murong Shao was reprimanded by Murong Ke several times, and he didn't dare to question his father rashly, but Murong Lin asked: "Uncle, if you say this, it will definitely arouse the resistance of the people of Hetao, and then we will probably fall into a difficult situation in Hetao!" ”
"This time and that time."
Murong Ke's deep pupils were unfazed, and he said unhurriedly: "Although our army wants to buy the hearts of the people, it can't blindly curry favor with the people.
The hearts of the people of Hetao are towards Qin Wen, no matter how our army shows kindness, it is destined to be thankless......"
