Zhao Hongrun's understatement shocked most of the people in the hall.
Even the chiefs of the Sheang tribes such as Lu Balong looked at Zhao Hongrun with a somewhat absent-minded look, let alone the chiefs of the Sheang tribes such as Halegoh, Cheralhe, Amutu and so on.
That's King Wusu's son!
In the entire hall, only Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army of Wei State, had deep appreciation and joy in his eyes.
"This is... this is..."
General Sima An, who had always been taciturn, had a hint of excitement on his face.
This emotion was not because of anything else, but because he finally saw the strong side of His Highness King Su.
Yes, although after King Su Zhao Hongrun defeated Bitatu and made Sanchuan surrender, Sima An's views and evaluation of His Highness King Su had undergone earth-shaking changes.
But even so, he still had a little worry in his heart, because in his eyes, Zhao Hongrun was more powerful than domineering.
To put it simply, His Highness Prince Su's wrist is "soft". This kind of weakness makes Sima An unhappy - this is also the reason why he dislikes Zhu Hai.
But today's His Highness Prince Su, his strength made Sima An feel a little trembling - as if he was not facing His Highness Prince Su, but his father, the King of Wei Zhao Yuansi.
From the beginning to the end, Sima An was a general who was "kingly and domineering". He advocated "kingly as the skin and domineering as the bones". To put it bluntly, when facing the enemy, he should use the most cruel means to injure him.
Surrender. If the opponent is unwilling to surrender, it means the killing is not enough!
As for the royal way, it is for treating one's own people exclusively.
Therefore, when Zhao Hongrun used benefits to lure Lu Balong and other Sichuan people to surrender to the Wei State, although Sima An also understood the benefits of inducements, he was still somewhat conflicted in his heart because inducements were inconsistent with his values - his concept was to kill, as long as
If they are enemies, kill them. Kill them all, and the rest will naturally be your own. It's simple and clear.
But this time, King Su Zhao Hongrun's attitude made Sima An feel very comfortable, although he also understood that it was because of the suicide of King Yi Zhao Yuanli that Zhao Hongrun, His Highness King Su, had accumulated in his chest a feeling of resistance to the forces that were attacking Wei from all directions.
Endless anger, so he would kill the envoy if he disagreed.
But no matter what, Sima An was still very happy. He was afraid that Zhao Hongrun would become more and more "weak" under the influence of Zhu Hai's people.
"Didn't you hear His Highness Prince Su's order?" Sima An said calmly, using his eyes and words to remind Wei Jiao and other Zongwei, as well as the Dangshan soldiers behind him.
After hearing this, the faces of several Dangshan soldiers behind Sima An became serious and they immediately walked towards Yin Dunbi.
Seeing this, the clan leaders in the palace reacted: Are you serious?!
"Wait a minute!"
Halegoh, the leader of the Aries Tribe, stood up subconsciously and called out to the two Dangshan soldiers. Then, when he turned to look at Zhao Hongrun, ready to persuade His Highness Prince Su, he saw that the latter was using
He looked at him sideways, his face expressionless, his eyes motionless, and his numb and indifferent gaze made his scalp feel numb.
"Hey, hey, are we really going to get rid of a few people this time?"
Lu Balong glanced at Zhao Hongrun's expression, and then turned to look at Halegoch.
Out of the friendship that they had been getting along with for several years, Lu Balon quietly winked at Hallegoch, but unfortunately, Hallegoch was focusing all his attention on Zhao Hongrun at the moment and did not look at him.
Lu Balong's eyes signaled.
"Your Highness, Yin Dunbi is the son of King Wusu, so he should not be harmed lightly..." Halegoh carefully considered his words and persuaded him. He gradually discovered that this time, His Highness Prince Su, was emotionally unstable.
Something is wrong.
Zhao Hongrun ignored Halegoh. He just glanced at the clan chiefs present, then pointed at Yin Dunbi, who had a frightened face, and asked seemingly calmly: "The request made by the Wuxu tribe, what do you think?"
Do you agree?" After a pause, he shook his head and said flatly but resolutely: "I...will not agree!"
Regarding Zhao Hongrun's statement, the patriarchs present did not express any reaction at all.
They also felt that the Wusu tribe was a bit open-minded: it was nothing to make the Wei Kingdom agree to let King Wusu's eldest son Udamuqi inherit his father's title. After all, "King Wusu" was the title of Wei
The title conferred by the state is essentially just a false title, and the Wei state does not need to pay any actual benefits for it. But the Wuxu tribe wants to join the Sichuan-Luo Alliance, which is a bit too much.
Yes, it is "taking over", not just "joining" - from the various conditions described by Yin Dunbi, the Wuxu tribe wants to become the master of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance and be on an equal footing with Wei.
Not to mention that Wei Guo would not agree with this, even many of the clan leaders present felt uncomfortable: Why?!
"Even if His Highness King Su doesn't agree with the conditions of the Wuxu tribe, there is no need to kill this person..." Halegoh persuaded him earnestly: "In my opinion, Halegoh, you might as well tell your conditions to him.
Yin Dunbi, ask him to take him back to the Wusu tribe... we can negotiate calmly with each other and finally reach an agreement. In this way, wouldn't it be better to avoid a war?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at Halegoch expressionlessly for a moment, and said seriously: "Halegoch, I will not agree to any conditions proposed by the Wusu Royal Court! ... In my eyes, they colluded.
Qin is already an unforgivable enemy, and I will not negotiate terms with the enemy!" At this point,
He raised his hand and pointed at the open space in front of the case, and said coldly: "Unless the successor of Wuxu Royal Court is kneeling here at this moment and begging for forgiveness from me for colluding with the Qin State, otherwise, I will not fight with him.
Negotiate any conditions! ...Wuxu Royal Court is the enemy, and I have only one attitude towards the enemy, kill!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun ignored the pale-faced Halegoch, looked around at the many tribal leaders present, and said coldly: "Please remember one thing, I believe that I have repeatedly stated that I, the Wei Dynasty, will not forgive betrayers.
Since the Wu Xu Royal Court, the Jie Tribe, and the Ling Tribe have chosen to side with Qin, then we, the Great Wei
enemy, I will not care about his reasons... I heard that there is a proverb in Chuanluo, a sheep is herded, and a group of sheep are herded. This is what I mean. Anyway, I and the Qin State
The army of Wei is destined to have a war, and I don’t care if our army of Wei kills a few more rebels in this war!"
After saying that, his eyes turned to Yin Dunbi again.
Seeing this, Halegoh hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "His Royal Highness King Su, I have always heard from the Central Plains that 'the two countries are at war without killing the envoys'..."
"Behead the envoy to show your ears!" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Haregoch, and then shouted in a tone that could not be refuted: "Drag him down and behead him to sacrifice the flag!"
"As you command!"
This time, Sima An no longer needed to remind him. The two Dangshan sergeants had already stepped forward as instructed. Each of them subdued Yin Dunbi and forcibly dragged the pale, trembling young man out.
Such a strong and arrogant move made the heads of the Shen tribes present change their expressions and become restless.
There was a hint of panic and a hint of anger in the eyes of these people, but when they glanced at the deep-faced His Highness Prince Su, they found that they could not say a word, as if there was something stuck in their throats.
Bundle of cotton.
At this time, Halegoh raised his foot and wanted to chase after him to stop him. At this moment, Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "Hallegoh, are you going to betray the 'Luoshui Alliance'?"
Hearing this, Halegoch immediately stopped in his tracks.
He turned back and said sadly to Zhao Hongrun: "His Royal Highness King Su, Wu Xu... Wang Ting is really not an enemy, no..."
"No! The Wusu tribe is the enemy. They are the rebels that this king is destined to eradicate this time!"
Looking around at the heads of the various tribes of the Sheang tribe present who had changed expressions, Zhao Hongrun said expressionlessly: "I can understand the status of the Wuxu tribe in the hearts of you people, so I will not force you to assist me in the expedition.
, let’s do this, I will give you a chance... to withdraw from the ‘Luoshui Alliance’, and I will allow you to remain neutral in this war!”
"Retreat, withdraw from Luoshui Alliance?"
The chiefs of the various tribes felt as if their chests had been hit by a giant hammer, feeling a tightness in their chests.
Of course they know what it means to withdraw from the "Luoshui Alliance" at this moment, which means that they will lose their huge wealth and return to the fearful grassland life.
More importantly, if they withdraw from the Luoshui Alliance now, when His Highness King Su has solved the Wuxu tribe and the Qin army, how will those who quit halfway live in peace?
Unless they stand on the opposite side, but... with the two killing gods, Su Wang Zhao Run and Wei General Sima An, how can they have the courage?
"Amutu..."
Halegoh looked at Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe. At this point, only King Su's father-in-law could possibly turn the situation around.
However, Amutu just looked at Halegoch apologetically and shook his head calmly.
Nonsense, who is closer to Wu Xu Wang Ting and his daughter? Of course he is on the son-in-law’s side!
After a while, Yin Dunbi's cry for mercy stopped. Immediately, the two Dangshan soldiers carried the bloody head back to the hall with a piece of white cloth and respectfully placed the head in the center of the hall.
Looking at the bloody human head, Halegoh and other tribe leaders' faces turned pale.
"Very good! Take it down and hang it at the city gate for public display!"
After ordering the two Dangshan soldiers, Zhao Hongrun glanced around at the clan chiefs present and said in a deep voice: "Lu Balong."
"Lu Balong is here." The fat Lu Balong immediately left the table and came to the center of the hall to salute respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"When I came this time, I brought many national flags of our Great Wei and the flags of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance. You send your warriors to visit every tribe in Sanchuan and hand over our flags of the Great Wei and Sichuan-Luo Alliance."
To the chiefs of those tribes."
"As ordered." Lu Balong said with his fists clasped.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun glanced around at the patriarchs present, and continued seemingly calmly: "...In a few days, our army of the Wei Dynasty will set foot on this land.
The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty will regard the tribes that carry the banner as enemies!...Don’t say that you didn’t predict what you said!”
"..."
The expressions of everyone in the palace changed drastically, except General Sima An who licked his lips excitedly.
