He Ruobi was stunned for a moment as if he was struck by lightning, and he barely thought of refuting Xiao Shilian's words about the battle of Shangluo just now, and he was forced to hold back at this time.

Yang Jian, is it worth it?

In fact, purely for He Ruobi himself, this answer should be, not worth it.

He Ruobi, the compound surname is He Ruo, it can be seen from this compound surname that he is a typical Sinicized Xianbei person. Yang Jian, on the other hand, is a semi-Xianbei - of course, this process is also a helpless move - Han people, Yang Jian himself has no good feelings for these Xianbei people, and at the same time doubts whether they will really be loyal to him.

Especially when He Ruobi was still the prince of Yuwenyun, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Yuwenyun many times. You must know that at that time, Yang Jian and Yuwenyun were still one, isn't being dissatisfied with Yuwenyun being dissatisfied with Yang Jian? Among so many courtiers, most of the generals and imperial relatives who had expressed their opposition to Yuwenyun to some extent fell to Yuwenxian, and He Ruobi and Yuwen Shenju and others in the clan were a very small minority.

And Yuwen Shenju naturally needless to say, this guy united with Yuwen Xiaobo and others to make trouble in the whole of Chang'an, causing Yang Jian to die and not to mention his two sons, and he was forced to tear off the little moral veil that was still left, and he rolled down from the moral high ground, which also made Yuwenxian justified.

Therefore, Yang Jian has no good impression of He Ruobi, when He Ruobi was under Wei Xiaokuan on the Eastern Front, Yang Jian and Wei Xiaokuan did not give He Ruobi a chance to lead the troops alone, this time if it was not for Wuguan's urgency, it would not be He Ruobi's turn to fight, after all, this is to deal with Li Xinchen rather than against Yu Wenxian, Yang Jian is not so worried that He Ruobi will directly surrender to the enemy.

And even so, Yang Jian still sent his confidant Gao Xi over as He Ruobi's deputy, named Auxiliary, and actually didn't mean to spy on him. Especially when Gao Xi went back to mobilize the troops and horses, Yang Jian was still not at ease, and specially dispatched Cui Zhongfang over. This Cui Zhongfang is a civilian official but is mostly in the army, and his understanding of the army is naturally better than that of ordinary literati and ink writers, and he originally played the role of a long history and a supervisor of the army, Yang Jian sent him over, and the meaning is naturally self-evident.

Not to mention that in history, Wei Chi Hui rebelled in Yecheng after Yu Wenxian's death, and Yang Jian was worried that He Ruobi would also rebel, so he sent people to relieve He Ruobi of his military power. Although He Ruobi protested, he was unable to do anything, and was finally escorted to Chang'an City for leisure.

Later, it was recommended by Gao Xi that He Ruobi had the opportunity to become one of the main generals in the crusade against Nan Chen together with Han Baohu.

But in any case, Yang Jian's trust in He Ruobi was not felt in this.

Xiao Shilian threw out such a sentence, so that He Ruobi no longer knew how he should answer, opened his mouth, and reluctantly said: "For a general, even if it is a ······"

Xiao Shilian laughed and interrupted the explanation he had barely come up with: "General He Ruo asked himself, if it weren't for the urgency of Wuguan, would you get the opportunity to lead an army alone?" If Wuguan's opponent in front of him was not us, but Wei Chi Hui and even Wang Liang and Yu Wenxian, I'm afraid there would be no such opportunity, right? ”

He Ruobi was speechless for a while.

Xiao Shilian did hold his life.

"Yang Jian is so suspicious of employing people, and General He Ruo has been able to fight hard for Yang Jian for more than a month, and he has done his best." Xiao Shilian then said, "Your hard fight didn't win Yang Jian's trust, why do you have to fight again?" ”

He Ruobi straightened his waist when he boarded: "A certain allegiance is not Yang Jian, a rebellious minister and thief, but Da Zhou, my Emperor His Majesty Da Zhou!" ”

"Hahaha!" Xiao Shilian couldn't help laughing, "General He Ruo's loyalty is admired, but why does it seem that this loyalty is a little wrong?"

"What do you mean by that?" He Ruobi frowned, this was the first time he had heard someone accuse himself like this, he asked himself if he had never done anything to be sorry for Da Zhou, why did he say that he was like this?

If it weren't for the current status of the prisoner, He Ruobi would have done it a long time ago.

And Lu Guangda and the others next to him also stared at He Ruobi with nervous expressions, if He Ruobi really had the courage to make a move, then they would definitely pounce on him as soon as possible.

However, the initiator who suddenly made the atmosphere tense was still smiling at this time, as if he wanted to follow He Ruobi's "general" just now and then said:

"For the generals, but also for their own monarchs, now General He Ruo doesn't know that the emperor of your country, Yu Wenyun, is already a puppet? Even if the emperor of your country had the opportunity, he would be eager to fight with Yang Jian, right? Wouldn't your obedience to Yang Jian's orders be tantamount to going against the wishes of the emperor of your country? Could it be that General He Ruo was counting on being able to help Yang Jian defeat us, and then watch Yang Jian replace the emperor of your country? ”

"You talk nonsense!" He Ruobi Huo Ran got up.

The generals in the hall got up at the same time, their hands pressed on the hilt of their swords, if He Ruobi really dared to make a move, then they didn't mind letting his blood splash on the spot.

Xiao Shilian spread his hands: "Isn't it?" ”

He Ruobi's hands were trembling, but he could only lower his head.

He had no way to refute Xiao Shilian.

"General He Ruo's loyalty is admired, and he definitely didn't mean to force the general to do anything," Xiao Shilian said lightly, "I just ask General He Ruo to weigh it clearly, is loyalty to the emperor of your country to help the emperor of your country become a puppet?" At least judging from the current situation, the revival of the Zhou people is hopeless, my Han is about to occupy Guanzhong and Yu Wenxian to compete in the Central Plains, Yu Wenxian is a small king of Qi, but he has the land of Hebei, how can he confront my Han? If you want to think about your majesty, then General He Ruo has to think about it. ”

He Ruobi pondered for a moment, and solemnly arched his hand: "Thank you for the general's refusal to give up, please also give advice." ”

Xiao Shilian waved his hand: "My Han has always paid attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, and I don't want to kill the emperor and the royal family of the previous dynasty." Isn't Chen Shubao alive and well now? If General He Ruo is really loyal to the emperor of your country, isn't it also a kind of loyalty to ensure that he can live? Power may be absent, but life is still long. ”

He Ruobi didn't say a word.

And Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "It seems that General He Ruo still has some doubts about this, but it doesn't matter, you can think about it yourself first, and see which is more important, whether it is so-and-so, I think my Majesty Han, who has already set off from Jiankang Mansion at this time, will not mind." ”

"Thank you, General." He Ruobi obviously didn't have the momentum just now, and solemnly arched his hand.

"Sending off guests." Xiao Shilian waved his hand.

Seeing He Ruobi leave, Xiao Shilian breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said helplessly: "It's really a lot of speech!" ”
