Cai Yurong looked at the back of Zhao An and their departure, and secretly chilled in his heart, he worked hard, even when the war was at its most difficult, he never had the idea of betraying the main and joining the enemy, and he couldn't imagine that once the Tongguan soldiers would be killed, someone would immediately come to snatch his military exploits.

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, and now the cunning rabbit is not dead, and he has to become a stepping stone to Tuhai.

But these military exploits of their own, those Han generals can't know, of course, even if they know, it doesn't matter, the court will definitely not rest assured that their family is dominant, everyone has their own family, how can they help him Cai Yurong rehabilitate for no reason, in the end he is still a mediocre talent who makes people laugh in the history books.

But there are some decisions that he can't make up his mind for a while: "Come on, go and invite General Ma and General Luan over." Bring a couple of gentlemen. ”

General Ma and General Luan are his protégés, and at this time he can't trust others, maybe many people are waiting for him to end miserably, and then take his place, these people will not have the idea of a rabbit dying and a fox being sad, because the princes of Gon are all for profit, and everything else is insignificant.

As for those staff, they are almost the same as him, and they are all lost, if he Cai Yurong falls, he dares to guarantee that those people's lives will not be much better, and these people can be regarded as his confidants.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cai Yurong coughed: "You have been following me for a long time, and now there is one thing that you need to make up your mind, if you are willing to advance and retreat with me, we will be prosperous and prosperous together." If you don't want to, now out of the camp, we have never interacted. ”

"Where does the teacher say, in this world, in addition to the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the friendship of parents, which one is greater than the teacher and the student, even if the teacher is determined to rebel and exterminate the nine clans, the two of us are inseparable."

Cai Yurong smiled bitterly: "I can only say the ugly words in front, this matter is indeed a felony of killing the head, and even the Nine Clans may not be able to say it, so I let you make a good decision, you can rest assured, even if you don't follow me, I will give you a suitable excuse to avoid being held accountable." ”

General Ma and General Luan glanced at each other, and General Ma said: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should make immortal achievements, although my two abilities are mediocre, but I don't want to do nothing, and now I leave, even if the court does not hold us accountable for our sins in the friendship of the teacher, we will have no chance to get ahead after all. ”

General Luan nodded: "That's right, the teacher just said it." ”

Cai Yurong coughed: "What if I let you go out of the Qing Dynasty and defect to the former Ming?" ”

The two of them turned white when they heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Teacher, don't do it, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must not defect to Daming, not to mention anything else, we just fought a battle before Tongguan, so that Daming killed and injured nearly 10,000 horses, even if we say that we want to defect to them, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat." ”

General Luan hurriedly responded: "Ma Liangchen is right, teacher, what happened, didn't we just win the battle, is it because the imperial court didn't reward us?" ”

Cai Yurong sighed: "It's not just that there is no reward, my friend in Beijing sent a secret letter, saying that the imperial court intends to restore Tuhai to replace me, and the day Tuhai arrives is when I die, and I am afraid that the two of you will not have a good time at that time." ”

Ma Liangchen and General Luan's faces changed a few times, and Ma Liangchen asked in a low voice: "Is the teacher a little worried, even if they want to erase our merits, they may not kill the teacher, let's fight hard for two months, even if there is no merit, there is hard work." ”

A staff member standing next to him opened his mouth: "General Ma doesn't know, we are now the biggest stumbling block to Tuhai, once our exploits spread in Beijing, he Tuhai will lose face, he has been defeated repeatedly in the hands of the court of the former Ming Dynasty, and when he comes to us, he has suffered a heavy defeat to the army of the former Ming Dynasty, do you say that the people in the court will say that he is incompetent?" Therefore, he can only sit back and relax if he kills us with the crime of slacking off the military aircraft, and then successfully recovers Shaanxi and other places, and achieves his prestige for a lifetime. ”

The two of them had already understood these things in their hearts, and now they heard that the staff had broken this matter, although they didn't want to admit it, they had already admitted it in their hearts.

However, they are the generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty after all, and it will be difficult to turn this corner for a while, so they are still making choices.

Cai Yurong sighed: "Forget it, I won't embarrass the two of you, now in this situation, there is no place for me Cai Yurong in the world, even if I take refuge in Qianming, I may not have any good fruit to eat, but I don't accept it!" Even if I go and be cut by a thousand knives, I deserve to die, it is better than suffering such grievances in the hands of my own people, he can rewrite the history books of the Manchu Dynasty, and may not be able to plug the mouth of the world. ”

Ma Liangchen coughed: "But in this way, wouldn't it confirm the rumors that you and Qianming colluded." ”

"Haha, I, Cai Yurong, was born with a stubborn bone, people say that I have something to do with Qianming, I'm afraid that the evidence has been done, since that's the case, I'll have a relationship with Qianming, and let them see that I, Cai Yurong, am not easy to mess with. The two of you will lead people out of the camp today, and say that I, Cai Yurong, raised the anti-flag, and if you escape from the camp, Tuhai will not embarrass you, but it will delay the career of the two of you, and you can only be sorry for being a teacher. ”

General Luan stood up suddenly: "What does the teacher think of the two of us, even if the whole world betrays the teacher, the two of us will definitely not be able to do that kind of thing, let alone defect to Qianming, even if I turn the horse's head and kill Benjingshi now, I dare to do it, thank you, even if you give the order, if there is anything Luan Mingyi frowned, let me thunder." ”

Ma Liangchen also stood up: "Luan Mingyi is right, the world has betrayed the teacher, and the two of us will never do such disloyal and unrighteous things, not to mention that the teacher has been greatly wronged, he will be cut off by the villain, even if the teacher is not wronged, the disciple will never shirk what he does, both of us are reckless men in the army, if it is not for the support of the teacher, we are still doing the team now, how can we have any chance of becoming a general in the army." ”

Cai Yurong nodded, turned his gaze and glanced at the several staff members beside him.

Those people smiled bitterly: "We are both prosperous and loss-making with the handsome, if the handsome decides, we will start planning, so as not to waste time." ”
