615 After Hu Hao and Zhang Debiao heard what the fourth earl said, they were very surprised, they had never thought that the royal side would actually use the idea of giving up the throne in exchange for Hu Hao's support, and then go to other countries to grab territory.

"General, I came to talk to you on behalf of the royal family, we hope you can agree, we will give you the throne, and you can also ascend the throne justifiably,

Moreover, I remember that my father once said that once the empire is in trouble, let you ascend the throne, and at the same time hope that you can protect our royal family, and now our royal family has indeed failed in the empire, and this failure cannot be all blamed on our royal heads.

We have all seen the telegram you sent, my imperial brother and our royal children also want to send troops to fight, but our Praetorian Guard has just been recruited, and there is not enough food to rescue the people.

None of those theater commanders agreed to fight, and we only knew at that time what our father once said about paying attention to the people! We have now been abandoned by the people, whether we have done wrong or not,

This responsibility, we royal responsibility, we do not shirk the responsibility! But these families are even more hateful, they have heavy troops, they just don't send troops to fight, and our royal family has been restricted by those families!

Now, you have won the hearts of the people, and we also know that it is impossible for the royal family to compete with you for the dominance of the Eastern Spirit Kingdom, so we are willing to withdraw from the struggle for imperial power in exchange for your protection and support! The fourth earl stood there and said to Hu Hao very seriously.

"What kind of support and protection do you need?" Hu Hao heard it, thought for a while, looked at him and asked.

"We need you to help us train some officers, about 1,000 to 2,000 people, these people must be able to hold the position of regiment commander, if they want to be division commanders, we must also evaluate them according to their combat exploits,

At the same time, we need your help to provide some weapons and ammunition, we have no money, we can only owe it first, but I still hope that you can help us for the sake of seeing that we are all from Dongling Kingdom! The fourth earl stood there and said to Hu Hao.

"If I train you those officers, will you be able to grab the land? You know, the coalition won't let go of the Midfield! The people of the Middle Regions, as well as those countries, will be very difficult at that time, and if you want to grab the land, it is not that simple! Hu Hao looked at the fourth earl and asked.

"We know, but we are not willing to lose the throne and the status of the royal family like this, there is no chance in Dongling Kingdom, in other countries, we definitely have a chance, as long as you support us, General, we will definitely have a chance,

It's a troubled time now, a real troubled time, I don't know how many royals are going to be extinct, and now the Dongyang Kingdom is about to die, and the land they control now is less than 10% of what it used to be, maybe it will be destroyed in a few days,

And other countries, too, are very fast, but although the coalition forces have defeated those royals, they have not yet defeated those people, and the people of those countries will definitely resist, and as long as we take our troops over there to fight the coalition forces,

I think there will definitely be people who will support us, and then we will be able to get a new piece of land in the Middle Regions, of course, this needs your support! The fourth earl looked at Hu Hao firmly and said.

"It's good to have an idea, but it's hard!" Hu Hao heard it, nodded, looked at the fourth earl and said.

"Why? We have troops, we have the support of the people, I think, there is still a chance! When the fourth earl heard it, he looked at Hu Hao with a little understanding, they all thought it was an opportunity, and Hu Hao said that it was difficult now, and he couldn't accept it.

"Hey, want to hear the truth?" Hu Hao stood there, sighed, and then looked at the fourth earl and asked.

"Yes!" The Fourth Earl nodded.

"I won't say anything else, I'll just say a little, do you say the support of the people? Do you know what the people need? Hu Hao looked at the fourth earl and asked.

"Peaceful environment!" The fourth earl said immediately.

"Well, that's kind of right, go ahead and think about it!" Hu Hao nodded, looked at the fourth earl and said.

"Well, we'll help them defeat the coalition?" The fourth earl thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Hope!" Hu Hao opened his mouth and spit out 2 words.

"Hope?" The fourth earl didn't understand what Hu Hao meant.

"That's right, hopefully! Now that the coalition forces have come over, then they hope that someone can take them to kill back, the hope of peace, the hope of survival!

And your family, the royal family is also a family, and the first thing you think about is not the people, so you will not take the people into account when you think about it! Whatever you do, the people know it, and the people will judge you in their hearts.

Take this time as an example, the clear code telegram sent by Arthur just now, you see, I have to stop fighting! There's no way I can't stop fighting!

But do you know the consequences of the armistice? Hu Hao stood there, smoking a cigarette, looked at the fourth earl and said.

"What are the consequences?" The fourth earl looked at Hu Hao and asked.

"The consequence is that I have the possibility of failure! In other words, our troops may sacrifice millions or even millions!

And if we fight now, I can say that in a week, I can push the troops to the northeast region, but by that time, tens of millions of people in the northeast region may die.

I saved the people in the east, but the people in the northeast may have suffered more casualties because I didn't stop fighting!

Huh, Fourth Earl, remember what your father, the emperor, the first emperor, said, pay attention to the people, and the people come first!

If I fail this time, I, Hu Hao, will be able to make a comeback, and I, Hu Hao, will still have the people to support me to continue fighting, because they know that I, Hu Hao, are with them, even if I fail, I, Hu Hao, will bear the consequences with them and start all over again!

But if I don't stop fighting, the people may give up on me! For I have given up on the people, and they will give up on me. You know?

You said that you want me to support you, but in fact, you are all wrong, what you want is the support of the people, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of you, you have to jump down for the sake of the people, in that case, the people will also jump down with you, the people, you need a leader to take them to resist!

I, Hu Hao, don't do things deliberately, because I, who was also a small common man before, I know what the people want!

Hope, hope matters! If they don't have any hope for you, you just put a knife to their necks, and they won't follow you! Hu Hao stood there, looked at the fourth earl and said,

The fourth earl heard it, stood there in shock, and after Hu Hao finished speaking, the fourth earl bowed deeply to Hu Hao: "Thank you for the general's order!" ”

"The family is bullshit, because the family has interests, they want to protect their own interests, and their interests are only a small part of the interests, the real big interests are the interests of the people, and the interests of the people are the interests of a country!

You families say I'm a thief! I want to ask you, who am I against? Am I against the Empire? How many battles did I, Hu Hao, fight on the front line? Without me, Hu Hao, the empire would have died a long time ago, and you families are still at ease over there?

Can you still stand here and talk to me? I, Hu Hao, never thought about being the emperor at all, where I am standing now, as the ruler of this region, it is the people, it is my subordinates, who pushed me up!

I, on behalf of ordinary people, ordinary soldiers! How could I compromise with the family, if I Hu Hao compromised, I believe, the emperor would definitely not dare to treat me badly,

However, I, Hu Hao, will lose my roots,

I have no roots, so how can I survive in this world? Hu Hao stood there and said, the fourth earl heard it and nodded.

"The most obvious example, Li Jinsong, you know, the first battle, we fought, he escaped! The brothers wanted to kill him!

In order to regain the trust of his brothers, Li Jinsong personally rushed to the front line and threw his life away, and now, he has won the trust of his subordinates! He said that even if he died, he would die with his brothers,

And if you want to go to other areas to get a piece of land, you must remember one sentence, even if you die, you must die in front of the people, protect the people in that area, even if you are broken bones, you must stand in front of the people and protect them! Hu Hao stood there and said to the fourth earl very seriously,

The fourth earl heard it and bowed to Hu Hao again.

"Whew!" Hu Hao exhaled at this time, then threw away the cigarette butt, lit a cigarette again, and stood there and smoked.

"Thank you, General, I will definitely remember it!" The fourth earl stood up straight and said to Hu Hao.

"I can't say it, if you want to go abroad to grab land, it is theoretically possible, but if those families will follow, then you still have no hope!" Hu Hao stood there and said.

"We plan not to take those families with us!" The fourth earl immediately said to Hu Hao.

"If you don't take them, you have no hope!" Hu Hao heard it, smiled and said!

"General?" The fourth earl heard it, and he didn't know what it meant? Hu Hao just said that there is no hope for bringing it over, and if you don't bring it over, there is no hope.

"To take them there, you have to reduce their power, after all, they still have troops, you can use them, but don't let them control most of the troops on your side,

At the beginning, as far as your royal troops are concerned, they can't win, and you need the family's troops to assist you in the battle, of course if you don't want to go, there is no need to take it away, leave it to me to kill! Hu Hao stood there and said.

"General, do you agree?" When the fourth earl heard Hu Hao say this, he immediately asked a little excitedly.

"I owe the first emperor a favor, at the beginning, the first emperor asked me to protect the royal family, I promised him!" Hu Hao looked at the fourth earl and said.
