Mrs. Zhang sighed and her eyes became lonely: "Everything is destined by God, okay, Murong Lan, I promise you that I will persuade the King of Heaven to go to Murong Chui, but remember, if you really want to harm the King of Heaven,
Even if I become a ghost, I will never forgive you!"
Murong Lanyu smiled sweetly and took Mrs. Zhang's hand: "This is your secret and mine, it's a deal!"
Fu Jian in the distance finished eating a few large cakes in his hand, and his face suddenly became rosy. He nodded with satisfaction, looked at the old man beside the cart, and said: "Old man, thank you for meeting me today."
It was you who allowed Gu Neng to escape this disaster. Now, it’s time for Gu to reward you. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, you should be given one hundred pieces of silk and two hundred pieces of cloth. But now, it’s time for Gu to be on the run.
, I don’t have these rewards around, so please tell me your name and household registration. After I return to Chang’an, I will definitely send officials to deliver this reward to your home, and you will be exempted from the whole family’s corvee for thirty years!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly. A favor from a meal would be such a big reward. A one-time reward is fine, but the thirty-year exemption from military service is difficult to obtain even for those who have made great contributions.
, it seems that Fu Jian really regarded this meal as a life-saving grace.
The old man shook his head and said calmly: "King of Heaven, we are all your people. Thanks to your benevolent government in these years, we can live a peaceful life. To us, you are like our biological parents.
Likewise, our biological parents gave us this life, and you gave us so many years of good life. As children, when our parents are in trouble, isn’t it right to help them or even sacrifice their lives? How could we?
I have done these things that I should have done, so what reward do I need from you?"
"Forgive me for speaking out. If you don't go well this time, I'm afraid there will be many ambitious people in the world who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. At this time, you should not be thinking about rewarding us people, but returning your favor quickly.
Go to Chang'an to consolidate your country. We also have to go home early and wait for your recruitment again!"
Fu Jian's eyes sparkled with tears, and he sighed: "In front of people like you, how can I show my face to the world?! Don't worry, old man, I will definitely rebuild the country, continue to pay you back, and pay back all the people of Great Qin."
Let the people live in peace and prosperity!"
The old man smiled and said: "We believe that the King of Heaven can definitely do it! Well, King of Heaven, it's time for you to leave. We are here to wish you a long life in advance!"
Fu Jian gritted his teeth, looked around, and said in a deep voice to the people behind him: "Did everyone hear it? What you just ate was not cakes, but the hope and confidence that we, the people of Great Qin, have in us. No matter where we are in the future,
, no matter what kind of situation you experience, you must remember today’s meal, do you understand?!”
Quan Yi, Zhang Hao and others looked solemn, and said seriously: "Remember the teachings of the King of Heaven!"
Fu Jian looked at the distance, Mrs. Zhang and Murong Lan who were walking towards him, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Where were you just now? I see that you have been talking, is there anything you can't say to me?
?”
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down: "I ask the King of Heaven to punish you!"
Fu Jian was slightly startled: "What crime is Madam guilty of?"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were filled with tears: "My brother Zhang Tianxi is a wolf-hearted man. At the most critical moment, he betrayed Qin and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty on the battlefield. As the sister of this traitor, I should be killed according to the law of the country. I also ask the king of heaven to give an order."
Cure the sins of the ministers and concubines!"
Fu Jian sighed, stepped forward and helped Mrs. Zhang up: "Your brother is your brother, and you are you. He surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield. I can only blame Gu for not knowing people and being blind. Moreover, he followed Zhu Xu to escape, and he was not interested in Gu."
Although it was disloyal and unjust, for the Jin State, it could be considered loyal. Gu's failure this time was mainly due to his inability to defeat the Jin army on the battlefield, rather than losing the war with his few words.
, Even if I step back ten thousand steps, I will not vent my anger on you, an innocent woman, just because Zhang Tianxi surrendered to the enemy."
Mrs. Zhang's face was lined with tears and she was weeping. She kept nodding her head but could not speak.
Fu Jian looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Murong Lan's face: "Today, I believe that those who are still following me at this time must be the most loyal soldiers and ministers, and I will not doubt any of you. Just now.
I was short of breath for a while and made a mistake in judgment. Now that everyone is full, where should we go now?"
Zhang Hao said solemnly: "It is most appropriate to go to Pengcheng now. That is our frontline base and contains our army's baggage. We can collect the dead and reorganize the army there."
Murong Lan suddenly shook his head: "You can't go to Pengcheng at this time. After the Battle of Luojian a while ago, the King of Heaven asked Ding Ling and Zhai Bin to go to Pengcheng to manage grain and grass. These Ding Ling people were rebellious and loyal to the times. After the King of Heaven suffered such a disaster,
If you are defeated, you may have different intentions, and going to Pengcheng is a trap you must not do!"
Quan Yi nodded: "What Captain Murong said makes sense, but after all, Pengcheng is the closest city to here. Now that all our armies have been defeated, there is no military camp where we can take refuge within a few hundred miles. If we don't go to Pengcheng,
I'm afraid it will take us two or three days to go to Xiangcheng, and we won't have anything to eat or drink along the way, how can we support it?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Shang Shu Quan may have remembered it wrong. There is an army that has not been defeated yet, so you can go and join him."
Quan Yi's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Murong, this is no time to be trifled with. Murong Chui's army is now more dangerous than Zhai Bin in Pengcheng. You said that going to Pengcheng is throwing yourself into a trap. Are you going to go to him?"
Isn’t it?”
Murong Lan shook his head: "Now that things have happened, can you still not trust us, the Murong clan? If we were really bad-intentioned, would I have rescued the King of Heaven? Mr. Quan, if the King of Heaven hadn't listened to your words this time and transferred my eldest brother away,
, with him here, how could there be such a big defeat today?"
Quan Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Yang Ping meant the same thing. Facts have proved that we should not have fought this battle. If your brother and Yao Chang hadn't repeatedly encouraged the King of Heaven to send troops, how could we have been defeated like this?!"
Fu Jian suddenly said: "Okay, don't fight anymore. I have decided to go to General Murong now. Murong Lan, do you know where his army is now?"
Quan Yi was so anxious that he stamped his feet and was about to say more when Fu Jian glared at him so hard that he shut his mouth and did not dare to speak. Murong Lan calmly cupped his hands and said, "The humble position and the eldest brother have a relationship every day.
Contact us, he is currently camping in Qinggang, a hundred and fifty miles away. If the King of Heaven needs it, I can ask my eldest brother to immediately send troops to respond."
Fu Jian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Captain Murong, let's set off now to Qinggang and join General Murong!
