Chapter 1357: Can't refuse
"Three months ago, the Shenyan people made a heavy move~щ~~lā Just three days before you came here, Prince Bilanjia and Zhong Lixin had just left. ”
Luo Hou did not give Yue Luoning an answer, but his words were already tantamount to refusal.
If he agreed to the solicitation of the Bilan people, then naturally he would not agree to Yue Luoning again. And if he even refused the invitation of the Bilan people, then he would have no reason to join the Moon Country.
After all, the current Bilan Empire is still stronger than the Moon Country. Especially in terms of national strength, there is a huge gap.
Bilan is an old empire, and the Moon Kingdom can only be regarded as an upstart at best.
Luo Hou's words made the generals in the tent couldn't help but puff up their chests, and almost everyone showed pride on their faces.
That's right, they are about to die, but they still have something to be proud of, and that is Luo Hou.
In order to recruit this famous general of the Heavenly Book Strategy, Bi Lan sent the prince and the masters of the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, and the Moon Kingdom was the lord of the country in person, accompanied by the masters of the Holy Realm.
Yue Luoning smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear the meaning of his words at all, and she asked with interest: "Can I inquire, what conditions have been offered to you by Shenyan and Bilan people?"
Luo Hou obviously didn't expect Yue Luoning to ask such a question, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he shook his head and smiled: "What they promised me is the position of duke, a fief of thousands of miles." And Bi Lan even gave me the post of second-rank general. Could it be that your country could give something better?"
Yue Luoning shook his head very dryly: "At most, I can only give you the position of marquis, the position of general under the second rank." ”
Most of the ** systems in the mainland were spread during the unified empire established by Qin Ying, so most of them were similar.
Among the generals, there is only the great general, or the general of the town.
There are a lot of names for the second grade, the general hussar general, the general cavalry general and the general Wei can be called the second general, as for the four expeditions and four towns, the Fu army, the middle army, the army, the town army and other generals, can only be regarded as the second rank of the general.
Yue Luoning is indeed very sincere, but she really can't offer better conditions to Luo Hou.
Among the second-rank generals of the Moon Kingdom, the hussar general Ji Bingyun's talent is not inferior to Luo Hou. And the identity of Ye Hong, the general of the cavalry, is special, he is the brother of Lin April Luoning, and his father and brother are the confidants of Yueshan back then. As for Fuyao, the main responsibility of General Wei, is to defend the city and the palace, and there is no need to go on an expedition, and Luo Hou is obviously not suitable.
Of course, it is impossible for Yue Luoning to replace them who have already made great achievements for the Yue Country, and replace them with Luo Hou who has not made an inch. That would only cause strong dissatisfaction among the military officers and soldiers, and fierce opposition from the courtiers.
Even if Luo Hou ranks third in the famous generals chapter, is Ji Bingyun worse than him?
And those three people are still only marquises, and even Ji Bingyun's title is still received by Xie Shaoying. Once Marquis Luo defected to the Moon Kingdom, his title would naturally not be higher than that of the Marquis, otherwise it would only chill the rest of the generals.
Shen Qing, who is also a general of Tianshuce, can inherit the post of general of the expedition to the north in the Qianlan period, which is already very good. And the bigger reason is that Shen Qing led 800,000 troops to surrender, even if it was to appease Qianlan, the Moon Kingdom could not help but give him a suitable position.
As for Luo Hou, the Gaozhen Kingdom where he is located is gone, and there are only tens of thousands of people left under his command......
The brows of all the generals in the tent were all furrowed, and many people already showed disapproval in their eyes, but Luo Hou smiled and didn't say anything more.
If it weren't for the fact that the person on the other side was not Yue Luoning, and there was no Saint Realm master by her side, maybe he had already ordered the eviction.
Yue Luoning smiled calmly: "I think, even if I can give a higher title and official position, you will not agree." You rejected the invitation of the Bilan people, right?"
"Oh, why can you be so sure?"
"Because Bilan people can't give you what you want most. ”
Luo Hou's eyes lit up suddenly, and for the first time now, he became a little unable to calm down, so that his tone became eager: "Can you give it to me?"
"I can't give it either. ”
The light in Luo Hou's eyes returned to calm: "Yes...... You can't give it to me. ”
The conversation between the two made the rest of the people in the tent a little foggy for a while, but the parties could understand what the other party meant.
Yue Luoning knew very well that what Luo Hou wanted most was to restore the country. He wants to defeat the Shenyan Empire, recover Gao Zhen, and rebuild the Gao Zhen Dynasty. If he could do this with the power of the Moon Country, then of course he would be extremely happy.
In this matter, Yue Luoning naturally would not agree. Even if the Moon Kingdom will be an enemy of Shenyan in the future, even if it will fight Gao Zhen, the territory it will be the Moon Kingdom, how can it be possible to make a wedding dress for Luo Hou?
"But I can promise that if there is a day, the people of high truth will be treated kindly. You should know that sooner or later, we will go to war with Shenyan head-on, and you will have a chance for revenge. In addition, I can help you find the lost Prince Yingshao, who will become the Prince of the Moon Kingdom in the future, and his fief will also include the former capital of Gaozhen. ”
The flame that Luo Hou had originally extinguished was ignited again, and he asked in a deep voice, "Can you find Prince Yingshao?"
Prince Yingshao is the youngest son of King Gao Zhen, and he is only eight years old now. When the kingdom of Gaozhen was captured by Shenyan, King Gaozhen killed himself, and the rest of the princes either committed suicide or died in the war. The only one who failed to find the body was the little prince Yingshao.
Now there are rumors on the mainland that Prince Yingshao is living among the people. However, this may not be big, if he escaped with the help of the palace guards, then it is time for him to come to see Luo Hou now, or to flee to Bilan and other countries to reveal his identity.
After all, it was a few months later.
Another possibility is that he is still alive, but the guards around him are dead. Whether an eight-year-old child can survive alone in this war-torn era is really not optimistic.
Yue Luoning's condition, in other people, may not care much, and may even find a way to secretly kill the little prince, so as not to have twists and turns in the future when gathering the remnants of the army to try to make a big deal.
But with Luo Hou, it's different.
Based on her understanding of Luo Hou, although this person's actions can be called cruel and cunning, there is an extremely strong blood of loyalty in his veins.
"Don't forget, we have the help of Shifanglou. I can't guarantee that I'll find him, but if I had to ask anyone with the best chance of finding him, it would be Shifanglou. ”
Luo Hou couldn't help but nodded, it is true that when it comes to the strength of intelligence, there is no organization in the world that can compare to Shifanglou.
For a moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
And at this moment, Yue Luoning threw out the second condition that made him irresistible.
"The Bilan can't save your men, but we can. Defect to the Moon Country, and all your current subordinates will survive. ”
As soon as the words fell, the generals in the tent shouted one after another.
"General, don't be embarrassed for us!"
"That is, we are ready to die for the country!"
"General, we have long put life and death aside, Gao Zhen has reached this point, what's the point of living?"
At this point, they finally understood why Luo Hou had refused the invitation of the Bilan people before.
The reason is very simple, the Bilan people can only 'save' Luo Hou alone, and as for most of the other Gao Zhen soldiers, even if they want to recruit, they can't take them away.
Gao Zhen's remnants have fallen into a desperate situation, and if they want to go to Bilan, they have to break through the encirclement in the north or east and go to Zixing or Longyan Chilou, and then they can enter the Bilan Empire.
Not to mention that the siege of Bilan people can't help them lift it at all, even if the siege is highlighted, the territory of the three kingdoms is all considered the sphere of influence of the Shenyan camp, and they can't survive to the Bilan Empire.
Luo Hou saw this clearly, so he was unwilling to leave them at this juncture, and would rather die with them. This moved them, but also saddened and ashamed.
Luo Hou in the crowd raised his right arm, and all the voices suddenly fell silent.
He looked at Yue Luoning and said word by word: "You guys, can you promise to treat my subordinates well?" I know that Lin Si has always hated me. I don't want to take them into the Moon Country, but they are suppressed and framed. ”
Yue Luoning's condition completely moved him.
In addition to recovering the country, what he wants most now is, of course, that this group of soldiers under his command can live as many people as possible.
The people of Bilan can't do this, but the Moon Kingdom can really do it.
Linjing City, where Luo Hou is now, is only five hundred miles away from the Qianlan border. Before, he had no way to go because there were millions of Moon Nation troops hoarded there, and he couldn't do it even if he thought about it.
But if the people of the Moon Kingdom can accept them, it will be different. When the time comes, they will flee into the territory of Qianlan, and the Shenyan army will naturally not dare to continue to pursue southward, otherwise they will face the front of the Moon Kingdom army in advance.
At this time, his only concern was Lin Si.
"He has been persuaded by me that as long as you don't do anything harmful to the Moon Kingdom, he won't be your enemy. Yue Luoning's words dispelled his last trace of worry.
The tent had become so silent that even the sound of breathing had been silenced.
Everyone knows that what will happen next will be the moment when Luo Hou really makes a decision. And this decision not only affects the fate of the Gao Zhen generals present, but also determines whether the Moon Kingdom can get this famous general in the future.
Luo Hou slowly closed his deep eyes, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated.
Joining the Moon Country means that he is no longer a Gao Zhenren from now on, but a native of the Moon Country. For him, this is tantamount to treason, even if Gao Zhen is already dead in name.
However, on the other hand, the fate of the people of Gao Zhen and Prince Yingshao and all the soldiers present can be rewritten. They may be able to live well in the future......
"I agreed, from now on, join the Moon Country and fight for the Moon Country. ”
When he opened his eyes, looking at Yue Luoning's gaze, there was no hesitation, only firmness.
"One day, you'll understand how right you are today!"
"Luo Hou see Your Majesty!" General Yinkai took a step forward and knelt on one knee, expressing his surrender.
And the people in the tent looked at me and I looked at you, and for a time they did not know what to say or what to do. The change was so fast for them that they didn't know how to accept it.
And Yue Luoning, who was in ecstasy, had already stepped forward slowly, and his right hand was gently placed on Luo Hou's shoulder.
Finally, all the generals in the tent knelt down......
