"As for you and other generals at all levels, after the matter is clarified, they can all be reinstated."

Speaking of this, Pang Nuan paused for a moment, and his tone became stern.

"This time, I came with the edict of the crown prince, and with the support of the clan and the Manchu court, if General Lian Po resists stubbornly, it will not only be a move to hit a stone with an egg, but also implicate tens of thousands of soldiers in the army."

"General Lian Po, even if you don't think about your reputation, you have to consider the lives of the soldiers under your command."

Although Pang Nuan's voice was a little old, it was still full of vitality and was unusual, and many Zhao people on the city wall heard it.

Pang Nuan's words can be said to be point-to-point.

However, many generals on the city wall understood the other party's obscure words, that is, to threaten the soldiers' families.

In fact, even if Pang Nuan didn't say so, generals at all levels could guess it.

According to the law, those who participated in the rebellion, regardless of their official positions and titles, were to be sent to their families, and at least they were sent to exile, or at worst they were reduced to slaves or even beheaded.

The vast majority of middle and high-ranking generals have families staying in Handan, which is not only a symbol of status, but also a hostage to the royal family in disguise.

This is also why, Lian Po did not really think about rebelling.

When he falls into such a situation, the soldiers may sympathize with him, and it is difficult to follow him in rebellion unless he is cornered.

Not for anything else, just for the sake of the family, and the soldiers will not do that.

Lian Po clenched his fists, feeling boundless anger and sadness filling his heart, but looking at the dense army outside the city, he finally let go of his fists.

He turned his head to look at the generals who had followed him on his southern expedition.

Many people were swept by Lian Po's gaze, and they all subconsciously lowered their heads, obviously not following Lian Po and confronting the royal family.

Only Guo Xu and a few other henchmen stood with their heads held high, with anger on their faces.

Seeing this, Lian Po couldn't help but sigh with relief.

He knew that he had failed, and if he failed, there was no possibility of turning over.

The rebellion represented a complete break with Zhao Yan.

Not only will the family members in Handan City be connected, but even the vast majority of the soldiers under his command will not follow the rebellion.

In this way, the only thing waiting for Lian Po is the destruction of his family and the death of his family, and the stench will be left for 10,000 years.

Lian Po also thought about following Pang Nuan back to Handan, but as soon as this thought flashed from his heart, he was ruthlessly extinguished.

Lian is quite confident, with his prestige, even if he is escorted back to Handan at this time, he will not worry about his life.

However, Zhao Guo had Zhao Yan in power at this time, and the two had always been at odds.

Returning to Handan, Lian Po will inevitably lose power, as long as Zhao Yan reigns for one day, Lian Po will have no chance to be used again.

What's more, don't look at Lian Po's infinite scenery over the years, but he has also made a lot of political enemies.

When Lian Po was in power, those political enemies naturally did not dare to do anything to him, and if he really waited until Lian Po lost power, I am afraid that many people would secretly retaliate.

Taking a deep breath, Lian Po shouted at Pang Nuan under the city: "I have never betrayed the Zhao State, let alone face the general's saber soldiers, the general is temporarily camped outside the city, I will give the general an explanation!" ”

After Lian Po said this, most of the generals behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

When Pang Nuan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

It's just that Pang Nuan didn't let his guard down.

Instead, he commanded his troops and horses, retreated 20 miles in an orderly manner, and camped with his back to the Yellow River.

In fact, when Pang Nuan crossed the Yellow River, he knew that the possibility of a war between the two sides was very small.

Lian Po really wanted to raise troops to rebel, and with the opponent's ability to command troops, it was impossible for Pang Nuan's army to cross the river easily.

In the county office, the atmosphere seems a little dignified.

Lian Po looked at the generals under his command, and finally sighed deeply, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to have deepened a lot in an instant.

"You and the others followed me to the south, connecting the two cities of Fanyang and Yin'an, and they could have returned to Handan in a beautiful way."

"I never thought that because of me, I would implicate you."

"This matter, I can't stand you!"

Speaking of this, Lian Po bowed deeply to the generals and colonels in the room, his face full of guilt.

"General!"

Seeing this, all the generals and colonels were a little moved.

They wanted to say something, but a thousand words could only be reduced to these three words.

Lian Po stood up straight, his eyes scanning the room with his eyes, and his tone suddenly became excited.

"When the first king was alive, the prince was always at odds with me."

"The first king has just died, and the crown prince has not really inherited the throne, so he can't wait to charge me indiscriminately, intending to take away my military power."

"Although I have a clear conscience, I also know that the prince can't tolerate me, so why should I return to Handan and be humiliated?"

"I want to leave Yin'an and enter the Wei Kingdom in the south."

"After I leave, you can open the city gate and welcome General Pang Nuan into the city."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

"General, never!"

The confidant Guo Xu exhaled loudly, his face full of anxiety.

Although he had expected that it would be impossible for Lian Po to really raise troops to rebel, he never thought that the other party was actually preparing to go to Wei.

You must know that Lian Po has just led 50,000 Zhao troops to conquer the two cities of Fanyang and Yin'an in Wei.

Fanyang is a place where merchants gather, and Yin'an is the northern gateway of Wei, and the importance of these two cities to Wei is self-evident.

At this time, I am afraid that the whole Wei State is holding a grudge against Lian Po, and when they go to the Wei State from time to time, how can they be reused?

"Childe Jiaxian is far away, and he treats the general with great respect, since the general doesn't want to return to Handan, why not go to the land of Shenqi to join Gongzi?"

Guo Xu's voice fell, and many generals immediately responded with their words.

Although they would not follow Lian Po to rebel, they did not want to see Lian Po go to Wei and then be snubbed.

When Lian Po heard this, he shook his head, and then sighed: "My mind has been decided, don't persuade you again." ”

After finishing speaking, Lian Po stopped talking nonsense and strode directly towards the door.

"I am willing to abandon the official and follow the general into Wei!"

As soon as Lian Po walked to the door, he heard the shouts of his henchman Guo Xu.

He turned his head and saw Guo Xu tearing off the ribbon in his waist, walking towards him with a resolute face, and couldn't help but feel that his nose was a little sour.

It's not that Lian Po didn't think about defecting to Zhao Jia.

However, at this time, Zhao Yan was in power, and Zhao Jia's situation was not good, if he went to the land of Shenqi, it would inevitably make Zhao Yan more and more jealous of Zhao Jia, and even cause father and son to turn against each other.

Lian Po didn't want to cause trouble to Zhao Jia, so he prepared to go to Wei.

It's a pity that the future of Wei is uncertain this time, and Lian Po didn't want to bury the future of his confidant, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't say anything after all, and continued to walk outside.

Lian Po did this, not because of selfishness, but because Guo Xu was very close to him, which everyone knows.

Even if Guo Xu continues to stay in Zhao State, he will not be reused.

In the county office, all the generals looked at the backs of the two people drifting apart, and they all felt an inexplicable sourness in their hearts.
