Chapter 54: Persuasion

Originally, the imperial brother planned to send them to all parts of the Yan Kingdom to work as coolies and reduce the service of the people, but the younger brother had no opinion. However, at present, there is no major matter in Yan except for building a mule and horse market and tidying up the barren land. In order to appease the displaced people, Lord Yu recruited many bankrupt farmers to be responsible for building a mule and horse market and cultivating farmland.

Therefore, at present, all the 80,000 Rong people are idle, if they are not slaughtered, after all, the national strength will be consumed, so the ministers and brothers wonder if they can recruit these Rong people into the army, form an army independently, and station them on the border of the Jin State. ”

As soon as Lin Xiao said it, the court immediately became chaotic, and the Rong prisoners were recruited, and almost all the ministers objected to this matter, and even Zhao Shide, who had always been the same enemy as Lin Xiao, also stood up and said: "Hou Ye, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, Yan and Rong have been at war for decades, even if the emperor is merciful and does not kill prisoners, but can not integrate the Rong people into the army, once the other party has weapons in hand, there is a rebellion, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”

"Yes, the old minister is also opposed, the Marquis of Dingguo is loyal to the country, which is praised, but the Rong people are arrogant and externalized, and the emperor categorically cannot raise tigers to make the Rong people stronger, otherwise, if the Rong people fight again, the Rong people will rebel." Although Liu Chengfeng is now in charge of the Ministry of Law and Punishment, he was born in the army, and when he was young, he sat in the northwest and had many fierce battles with the Zhao State and the Rong people, and he also knew the Rong people, and the wolf ambition was difficult to domesticate.

According to Lin Feng's knowledge, he felt that it didn't matter, the Ruorong people were willing to be loyal, and their status in the Yan Kingdom had nothing to do with the foreign mercenaries in France. In addition, the strength of the Rong people is strong, especially on horseback, if they can sincerely take refuge in themselves, 80,000 people can completely form a powerful cavalry. Besides, these people are cavalry in the first place, so they don't need to be trained or educated, but they save manpower and a lot of material resources, and they are almost pulled out as a group of fierce soldiers.

It's just that the current strength of the Yan Kingdom is weak, and the Rong people have never taken the Yan people seriously, so it is indeed not easy to make them loyal and have a sense of belonging. In particular, it is too difficult to make the other party stay true to himself.

After being silent for a moment, Lin Feng probably had an idea, although it was not clear whether he could succeed, it was worth a try. If the Rong warriors can be successfully recruited, the combat strength of 80,000 will almost make Yan's strength skyrocket.

Standing up and glancing at the ministers, Lin Feng stood up and said: "I have my own way to persuade the Rong people to surrender, today the court will come here first, Lin Xiao, Lei Jieying, Liu Chengfeng, Zhao Shide, Yu Zheming and others will stay, go to the warm pavilion and wait for my news." ”

Lin Xiao and the five people didn't know what Lin Feng meant, seeing him leave with An Heng in a hurry, everyone walked towards the warm pavilion helplessly, however, Lin Xiao was a little happy, no matter what, if the 80,000 strong men of the Rong clan could be organized into cavalry for a little training, the strength of the Yan Kingdom would skyrocket.

Leaving the court, Lin Feng sat on the dragon chariot and went straight to Yushu Yuan to collect the Rong cavalry, even if he had a three-inch tongue, I am afraid it would be difficult to change the minds of the Rong people, so it must be submitted by the people who feel close to them and whose status is higher than them, Murong Mengfei is a good choice.

When he came to Yushu Garden, Lin Feng told Murong Mengfei the idea, Murong Mengfei and Zhao Ziyan next to him were startled at first, and then Murong Mengfei bit her pink lip and nodded, and said, "Xianggong, the concubine will try it, if it doesn't work, the Xianggong is not allowed to blame the concubine." ”

After seeing Lin Feng's methods, the clansmen have become captives, if they can't be recruited, I'm afraid they will inevitably die, which is what Murong Mengfei is reluctant to see. Now that he has regarded Lin Feng as his husband, of course he is towards him from the bottom of his heart. Recruiting the clansmen can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and with him relying on Lin Feng's side, Lin Feng's own strength will also increase.

"Go ahead, if you don't succeed, I'll blame you." Holding Murong Mengfei's head and kissing her forehead, as time went by, with his own efforts, Murong Mengfei became more and more smelly, with a smile and a smile, all with the style of a young woman, which made him fascinated. After Murong Mengfei left, Lin Feng enjoyed the massage of Zhao Ziyanyu's fingers, holding his chin and secretly wondering if he would take the time to eat her by the way.

Murong Mengfei changed her clothes, a white Liuxian dress, draped in a red cotton gauze cloak, and white goose feather inlays on the edges, looking noble and holy, like a nine-day fairy, sitting in a carriage, walking towards the military camp outside the city to watch the Rong people.

These days, the life of the Rong people is not easy, the first wave of people who were captured from the tooth account of King Zuoxian, there are old, weak, women and children, plus the cavalry captured on the way back, there are no longer a few. These days, the guards don't treat them as human beings at all, and the resentment that has accumulated for decades is vented on them, without food, without drink, physically punished, mentally insulted, and miserable.

It was also a cold winter, everyone was starving, and there was no shelter from the cold in the open place, and the situation was very bad.

Not long ago, I heard that the Great Khan led his troops south, I thought that with the strength of the clansmen, I would definitely be able to destroy the Yan State, and the most unfortunate exchange of hostages could also redeem everyone, but unfortunately after more than a month, I did not wait for the good news, but saw more prisoners, through the mouths of these people, I learned that the Yan army won a great victory, the Rong cavalry was defeated, and even the left general Yelu Tiele also died tragically in the fierce battle.

Most of the 300,000 iron cavalry who came with great momentum suffered casualties, leaving tens of thousands of prisoners and rushing north. There was a glimmer of hope in the Rong cavalry, and the women and children of the Rong tribe were completely dead. Realizing that the Great Khan would not go south easily, endless torture and death awaited them.

Mourning is greater than heart death, the vigorous eagles on the grassland in the past, once lonely, all became people waiting to die, they were not convinced, unconvinced. It's a pity that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, how dare I resist.

When Murong Mengfei came to the place where the clansmen were being guarded in plain clothes, she stood quietly on the high platform, looking at the depressed and embarrassed situation of the clansmen, and she felt bad in her heart. The number of his own people was not large, and in two fierce battles in a row, the total number of captured cavalry, old and weak women and children exceeded more than 100,000.

Once the 80,000 cavalry are unwilling to be surrendered, not only will they die, but also tens of thousands of old and weak women and children around them. More than 100,000 people died tragically, and corpses will be strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood will flow. Not daring to imagine the tragedy, Murong Mengfei hurriedly shook her head, not daring to imagine the terrible situation, and leaving all those bad thoughts behind.

An Heng, who followed beside him, noticed Murong Mengfei's expression, pulled out the call of a male duck, and shouted: "Princess Murong has arrived, and the Rong people bow." "Lin Feng did not entitle Murong Mengfei as a harem position, An Heng did not dare to be bold and casually called, otherwise the head would not be guaranteed, and after thinking about it, the title of princess was the safest.

Slowly walking down the high platform, Murong Mengfei came to the middle of the clan, at this moment, many Rong cavalry belonging to the royal court seemed to have recognized her appearance, and they all stood up and shouted: "Princess, princess." ”

After months of suffering and exhaustion, everyone was in despair, but their own princess suddenly appeared, and these people seemed to see the dawn in the darkness, and their hearts suddenly opened up a lot, and many women and children gathered around her. Feeling the clansmen's desire to survive, Murong Mengfei couldn't help but leave two lines of tears, hugged a woman beside her, and whimpered and cried.

Someone noticed that their princess was sad and angry, and shouted: "Please princess, take us out of the Yan Kingdom and return home." ”

"Kill out of Yan Country and return home!"

“------------------”

The depression for days finally broke out at this moment, and in the place of detention, there was an earth-shaking venting sound, and even Lin Feng could hear this venting anger in the palace.

Murong Mengfei always quietly led the clansmen to the middle, and when the catharsis gradually subsided, she found a slightly higher position, stood on it, and said with a sad expression: "Rong clan sons, I know that everyone is full of confidence and sworn to return to their homeland, why don't I want to return to the grassland, but now everyone is all captives, physically and mentally exhausted, and low morale, don't say don't rush out of the detention place, even if everyone is lucky enough to rush out of the detention place, everyone has no horse under their crotch and no blade in their hands, whether they can rush out of the detention place Not to say, what about tens of thousands of women and children, It is to rush out of the detention place, if you want to return home safely with your clansmen, facing the three major Xiongguan in the north of Yan Kingdom, as well as the dragon cavalry guard, Yulin guard, and northern tiger and leopard guard, how many of these hundreds of thousands of people can get out of Yan country. ”

"But, princess, if you don't resist, you will die if you stay, and the clansmen have bullied the Yan people all these years! Instead of sitting back and waiting to be slaughtered, it is better to rise up, even if you die, you will have to hit the city of Yanguo hard, and die vigorously. ”

"That's right, I'd rather be a ghost than a scumbag, not a prisoner!"

"-----------" is a few months, a few days, pigs and dogs are not as good as life, facing the threat of death at any time, these people are like frightened birds, always on the verge of collapse, once there is a little chance, someone slightly instigated, all will become warriors who are not afraid of death.

Murong Mengfei can understand the mood of the clansmen, when tens of thousands of people in the Yan Kingdom were captured, they also had tragic emotions, but unfortunately all the clansmen were shot and killed, leaving no one alive.

She also knows the cruelty of the battle array, if everyone dares to resist, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people will all be killed. Especially after months of getting along, she knew that Lin Feng was an iron-blooded king, and in order to turn the situation in the court, he could ruthlessly kill dozens of ministers. These clansmen, if they dare to make mistakes, he may not show mercy, so surrender is the best choice.

After sorting out her thoughts a little, Murong Mengfei said with a strong face: "I understand everyone's feelings, my Rong clan boy can't stand the humiliation.

However, there is one thing that everyone does not know, this summer there was a great drought in the grassland, the Xiongnu seized a lot of grassland water in the tribe, the tribe did not have enough food for the winter, the father Khan for the tribe, personally led the troops to the south, but unfortunately the winter battle, the tribe was greatly disadvantaged, the father Khan was defeated, and close to the heavy snow to close the mountain, only to rush north. ”
