Chapter Seventy-One: A Thousand Dollars Are Hard to Buy a Letter from a Monarch and a Minister(2)
Li Qianshan also looked at Murong Chong's eyes, people's words may deceive people, but people's eyes will never deceive people, Li Qianshan is sure of this.
Fortunately, he read hesitation and hesitation in Murong Chong's eyes, but he did not read cunning and deception.
Instead, he reads sincerity.
In fact, in the face of this kind of choice, as a superior person, it is false if he does not hesitate, and if he hesitates, it can at least show that he has seriously considered it and thought about it carefully, if Murong Chong agrees without thinking about it now, it will definitely fool people.
What will he do? Li Qianshan is looking forward to it, and everyone is looking forward to it, but the difference is that Murong Chong's decision also determines Li Qianshan's stay and departure.
At this time, Murong Chong said, "Sir, I promise you!" ”
"Yes!" Although Li Qianshan was resourceful, he didn't expect Murong Chong to agree like this, whether this was true or false, at least from Murong Chong's eyes, it seemed to be true.
"Everything you said makes sense, and it's a reminder to Lone!" Murong Chong smiled and said: "People are outside and the Lord is inside, there will indeed be the problem you said, since the sages of the past dynasties have not been spared, lonely and young and thin, if there is no reminder from Mr., it is likely that such a mistake will really be made, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be too late to make amends, so look at it this way, sir, you have made a great contribution!" ”
"Don't dare!"
"In this case, Lone can tell Mr. you today, and tell everyone!" Murong Chong glanced at it, and said loudly: "Murong Chong is young and widowed, and he has no intention of competing for power, but the hatred of the country and the family has forced me to come to this point, fortunately, there is Mr., with the full help of everyone, and the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky, so that Murong Chong has today, Murong Chong will not forget all this, today, Murong Chong is willing to swear to the sky here, Murong Chong and you, share weal and woe, share wealth and nobility, do not say goodbye, must trust always, not disregarded, if there is a violation, heaven and earth will not tolerate!" ”
These words moved everyone present.
Although in troubled times, what is said does not mean anything? It's not a lot of talk these days, but those are either privately taught and received, or they leave room for explanation, and they are told to everyone in public, and there are not many people who block the way back.
What's more, Murong Chong is different from others, he is the leader of these people after all, traditionally speaking, it is a matter of moral course for subordinates to be loyal to the leader, and the leader does not owe it to his subordinates.
And Murong Chong said this in public, to put it bluntly, he tied his hands and feet, and according to the traditional point of view, he also lowered his own pattern a little.
But in the ears of everyone, it was different, because since Murong Chong dared to swear in public, his sincerity was unquestionable no matter what, of course everyone was very moved, and some even left tears.
Even Murong Chong himself was proud of his almost divine words at that time, and he also had every reason to be proud, because as soon as these words came out, everyone's centripetal force towards him obviously increased dramatically.
Li Qianshan also said angrily at this time: "I am willing to be loyal to the king to death!" ”
"Willing to be lowly and willing!"
"The last general is also willing!"
Looking at Li Qianshan's questioning, he unexpectedly made up a great unity, Murong Chong of course couldn't close his mouth happily, and even wondered if Li Qianshan had deliberately come to do such a thing to make everyone return to himself.
Once this idea was born, the more he thought about it, the more he was like this, and Murong Chong felt more grateful to Li Qianshan in his heart.
And at this time, a shout pulled Murong Chong's thoughts back to reality.
"The hour has come, please enter the city!"
The singing soldier shouted loudly, and Murong Chong also tidied up his clothes, calmed down, and gently pumped his horse with inexplicable excitement and expectation.
Yecheng, I finally came back, Murong Chong's heart was beating wildly, I waited for a long time, I finally waited for this day, I dreamed for a long time, and finally realized my dream.
**********************
Murong Chong's recovery of Yecheng naturally meant that the Qin Empire lost Yecheng, and the news spread all over the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, naturally, and also spread to Chang'an City, which had been calm for a long time.
People with a little common sense know that once Yecheng is lost, Hebei will also be lost, before the Qin army's successive victories, repelled the Jin army, eliminated Murong Hong, drove away Murong Chong and recovered Shanxi, once made the people and gentry of the Qin Empire think that the overall situation has been decided, the Qin Empire will regain the advantage, especially Shi Yue, a powerful mobile force, is still there, so that everyone believes that the cooperation of Fu Pi in Hebei and Shi Yue in Shandong will definitely eliminate the remnants of Murong Chui and Murong Chong and reunify the north.
And once the reunification of the north is completed, due to the absolute superiority of the north and the south of the Yangtze River in terms of area and population resources, etc., it is only necessary to recuperate for a few more years, and wait until the strength is restored, and at that time, the crown prince Fu Hong, who has already established a high prestige in the hearts of the army and the people, will take command of the expedition, and only need to fight steadily and steadily, and Jiangnan will definitely not be an opponent, in that case, reunification is just around the corner.
Since the future is optimistic, the people who were originally shaken naturally moved closer to the Great Qin Empire, and the local officials naturally wrote to show their loyalty, and the illness at home at this time when they were "sick" was also cured, and those who once asked for the old man said that they could still contribute some spare strength to the king, in short, these days, Fu Jian received almost twice as many letters as in the past.
Of course, Fu Jian knew all kinds of ugliness of these people, but at that time, the situation was very good, and it was the time to employ people, and Fu Jian was not willing to make extraneous branches, so he naturally laughed at them.
But? When the news of the fall of Yecheng came, Fu Jian was silent.
Yes, he felt grief, indignation, and even despair at one point.
In the battle of Weishui, when the million-strong army was defeated like a mountain, he did not despair; When the Northern Expedition of the Three-Way Army was like a bamboo, and the country was in danger, he did not despair; When the enemy soldiers approached the city and the anti-flags were erected all over the country, he did not despair, because at that time, he believed that his defeat was only temporary, and he only needed to give him time, and he would definitely be able to turn the tide.
In fact, he did, he reversed the decline, suppressed the rebellion, repelled the enemy, and just yesterday he firmly believed that he could not only turn the tide, but also rise from the decline, and he had even wondered if he would send troops south again in two years to unify the country in one fell swoop.
At that time, he will give the Zen throne to the prince, spend his old age in peace, and travel with the Zhang family, all of which feel beautiful when I think about it.
But now, it is all ruined, and what people are most afraid of is not that there is no hope, but that they have seen the light, but hope has been ruthlessly shattered.
But all these beautiful illusions were shattered by the news of the fall of Yecheng.
