Hu Lie and the others are all in their hearts, Zhong Hui's words can be regarded as an ultimatum, forcing them to make a choice, and this choice is only two ways of life and death, choosing to follow Zhong Hui, naturally it is a way to live, and choosing to be loyal to the imperial court, it is undoubtedly a dead end, but behind the seemingly simple question of life and death, there are countless things hidden, which makes it difficult for Hu Lie and others to choose for a while.

First of all, it is the success rate of Zhong Hui's rebellion, whether Zhong Hui is sure that he can compete with the powerful Jin State, if not, then follow Zhong Hui's rebellion, and eventually end up in a different place, it is just the difference between early death and late death.

Second, they are different from Zhong Hui's singles, they all have parents, wives and children in the Jin Kingdom, and if they follow Zhong Hui to rebel, it is likely that Sima Yan will cut their relatives in anger, and this result is also unbearable for them.

Zhong Hui looked at the generals and was silent, sneered, and said: "You all think that my Zhong Hui is fighting against Xingwei is hitting the stone with an egg, and fighting against Sima Yan is self-defeating, but don't forget, this world is not only the world surnamed Sima, the Shu people are eyeing the Guanzhong, the Wu people are enterprising Yiyang, and they are also looking at the Central Plains, Sima Yan is already anxious enough, how can he have the spare strength to attack Jingzhou?" Sima usurped Wei, perverse, people of insight in the world, all gnashed their teeth and hated, the banner was raised, and the returnees were like clouds, Sima Yan was bound to be at the end of the road, and you were all Zhongxing ministers of the Great Wei, which was enough to glorify the clan. As for your fear that Sima Yan will frantically retaliate against your family, this is indeed a pity, with Sima Yan's brutal and unbridled nature, your family is likely not to be spared, but the husband acts, public first and then private, there is always a trade-off, the only thing you can do is to kill Luoyang, break Sima Yan's knife to Ling Chi, and avenge your relatives. Of course, you can also choose to accompany the funeral for the reverse Jin and be the lackey of the Sima family with an iron heart, then my Zhonghui can fulfill you now. ”

Zhong Hui's eyes were like torches, scanning every general present, his words were like knives, inch by inch of the hearts of the generals, and finally someone couldn't bear the pressure, and bowed his hand to Zhong Hui: "The last general is willing to follow Zhong Dudu, and swear not to stand with the usurper." ”

The first to surrender was Tian Xu, and then Huangfu Min, Zhan Qing and others also expressed their allegiance to Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui immediately asked Zhong Yong to take out a document, which was written by Zhong Hui himself to crusade against Sima Yan.

Zhong Hui is one of the best pens in the dynasty, and it took him a lot of thought to write this article, although it is not as good as the "Essay on Cao Cao" written by Chen Lin back then, but it is not far behind, I believe that once this article comes out, the world will be shaken.

At the end of this article, Zhong Hui, Xiahou Xian, Ju'an, Wang Mai and others were already named, Zhong Hui instructed Tian Xu and other new people to sign the text, although Tian Xu and others were a little entangled, but in the end they still chose to give in, after all, this is a matter of life, and if they hesitate, it is very likely that their heads will fall to the ground.

Tian Xu and the others held the pen as if they had a thousand pounds, they knew that once they signed the paper, it would be equivalent to getting on the thief ship of Zhonghui, completely breaking with the Jin court, and at the same time putting their families and relatives in a very dangerous situation. It's a pity that there is no turning back from the bow, and in order to save their lives, most people still signed and drew a charge on the inscription.

After completing all this, Tian Xu and the others silently stepped aside, stunned and silent.

Zhong Hui's face finally showed a smile, but in the eyes of others, this smile is strangely cruel and cold, under his intimidation, most people still chose to submit, which is not deviated from Zhong Hui's prior expectations, people are always greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is human nature to choose self-protection in times of disaster.

Zhong Hui is not afraid of what Sima Liang can do, such a gentleman, Zhong Hui didn't take him seriously at all, Zhong Hui was most worried about this group of subordinates, except for a few henchmen such as Xiahou Xian who followed him desperately, and the rest of the people, Zhong Hui really took a little effort to design.

Before the banquet, all the generals were summoned to the big tent, and outside the big tent, henchmen were arranged to guard them, so that these generals and their troops were completely separated, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents, and if Zhong would lose control of these generals, it would be easy to bomb the camp.

Forcing them to sign the document was the most important step of the Zhong Society, and as soon as the document came out, these generals were at a loss for words, and there was no second way out except to follow Zhong Hui with all their hearts.

Watching them put pen to paper one by one, Zhong Hui naturally breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, the biggest crisis of the mutiny has been passed, and the next thing is much easier.

There were no signatures, there were still two people left, Hu Lie and Qiu Jian, but Zhong Hui saw the struggle and hesitation in their eyes, Zhong Hui smiled slightly, and said: "General Hu, you are the most important general of this governor, since the war of Shu, you have always been a pioneer, charging ahead, and repeatedly making military exploits, this governor does not want to lose you as a strong general, and then give you a pillar of incense to think about it, know the times as a junjie, this is also your last chance." ”

Hu Lie took a deep breath and glanced at Wei Qiang, Wei Qiang's expression was lonely at this moment, obviously he was no longer the person on the list of Zhong Hui's persuasion, which was equivalent to having been sentenced to death, just waiting for the final verdict. Hu Lie has a good relationship with Wei Qiang, he has been obeying Wei Qiang's orders before, and at this moment, if Hu Lie stands with Wei Zong with determination, it will definitely be difficult to escape death. As an ordinary general, Hu Lie was not deeply valued by Sima Zhao, and did not accept Sima Zhao's secret mission like Wei Qiang, he was upright by nature, he only knew that he was loyal and brave, and did his best for the court and the country.

But the world has changed, the court that was once loyal no longer exists, and at this moment Zhonghui has erected the banner of rebellion against Xingwei, Hu Lie is very entangled in his heart at the moment, whether to continue to support the non-existent Wei State or support the emerging Jin State, he is really difficult to decide.

But the ants are still stealing, not to mention that Hu Lie does not have much loyalty to the Sima family, and under Zhong Hui's ultimatum, he also decided to follow the crowd.

"The last general is willing to listen to the governor." Hu Lie bowed his hand.

The corners of Zhong Hui's mouth showed a smug smile, and Hu Lie, who was the most difficult to handle, finally gave in.

Hu Lie surrendered, Qiu Jian also surrendered, and all the generals under the account surrendered to Zhonghui.

Hu Lie walked to the front of the case, just picked up the pen, and wanted to sign the paper, but heard Zhong Hui say: "Wait! (To be continued.) )
