Chapter 1115 Traitor
Chapter 1113: Traitor
Although what Murong Lin said is not exactly the same as what Murong Ke thinks, it is also similar to seven categories.
Looking at Murong Lin, Murong Ke nodded with relief, and then said to Murong Shao: "Do you understand now?"
"Baby...shamed."
Murong Shao felt a little ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Although Murong Shao still felt a little unacceptable to the release of prisoners, his father''s military order had been issued, so he could only obey it.
After a while, another soldier came to report.
"General, the people from the Qiao family are here and say there is something important to see you."
"Let them come over."
A fat man with a big belly and a shrewd face walked over under the guidance of the soldiers, and he was Qiao Gui, the son of Qiao Sheng, the head of the Qiao family.
As soon as Qiao Gui saw Murong Ke, he congratulated him enthusiastically: "Congratulations to the general for seizing this city and completely solving the danger of food and grass."
Although Murong Ke would never have captured the city so simply without the Qiao family''s intelligence and leadership, he still had no favoritism for these traitors and said coldly: "Is there any new information?"
Fatty Qiao Gui''s words seemed to be complimentary, but in fact they were also emphasizing the contributions of his family. However, they did not expect Murong Ke to be so disrespectful to him. For a moment, his face became a little ugly.
"Damn Murong Ke, you dare to give me a look. If it weren''t for the information from my Qiao family, you wouldn''t know where you were."
Fatty Qiao greeted Murong Ke’s ancestors in his heart, but he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said with a flattering smile: “The general is so wise. New information has indeed come from Taiyuan…”
Fatty Qiao wanted to report by himself, but she didn''t expect Murong Ke to directly reach out to him. Obviously, he was not going to listen to his report, but wanted to see by himself.
Fatty Qiao''s face froze, and he greeted Murong Ke''s ancestors again in his heart, and handed the document over with a wry smile.
Fatty Qiao actually understood in his heart that Murong Ke looked down on traitors like him from the bottom of his heart, but your Murong family is also a traitor to the Xianbei. Everyone is a traitor, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Why do you look down on me?
Fatty Qiao deliberately ignored one point, that is, the Murong family had already fulfilled their duties for the Xianbei, and it was Yuan Meng who was forced to surrender after the demise of the Xianbei. If they did not surrender, they would have to be exterminated.
The Qiao family''s rebellion was that when Qin Wen did not feel sorry for the Qiao family, but instead had great kindness to the Qiao family, they took the initiative to betrayal and surrendered to Yuan Meng.
There is no comparison between the two at all.
Murong Ke didn''t like him, so Fatty Qiao naturally didn''t want to stay and see his face. After leaving the information, he was about to leave, but when he walked to the door, Murong Ke suddenly asked.
"Mr. Qiao, as far as I know, my father, Mr. Qiao Sheng, had no clothes covering his body in his early years. He first worked as a **** shop, then opened a forage shop, and also did business such as tofu, bean sprouts and sporadic goods. Until he became sworn with a man named Qin, he received support from the Qin family, so that your Qiao family could become the eight great masters of Shanxi merchants, and this man named Qin Wen was Qin Jian, the younger brother of Qin Wen."
At this point, a trace of confusion flashed in Murong Ke''s eyes and he continued to ask: "Since your father and Qin Jian are sworn brothers, relying on the relationship with Qin Jian, your Qiao family can develop safely. Why should you take the risk of extermination to join me Yuan Meng?"
This time Murong Ke gave Fatty Qiao a face. There is another meaning in his words, that is, your Qiao family will rise entirely because of the Qin family. There is nothing wrong with the Qin family, but why do you betray the Qin family ungratefully?
What these words were said directly turned against the Qiao family, so Murong Ke changed his way to indirectly attack him, and he was indeed curious about what these traitors were thinking. Fatty Qiao obviously didn''t hear the profound meaning of Murong Ke''s words. He looked at Murong Ke with a strange expression and said as expected: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
Although the Qin family is very kind to my Qiao family, it can no longer let my Qiao family go further. What does it matter if you defect to Yuan Meng for the sake of the family''s great cause? ”
Murong Ke was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that these Shanxi merchants were just to protect themselves. After all, many aristocratic families in the north had smuggled materials to Yuan Meng, and Qin Wen also hated this matter very much. Once discovered, his family would be confiscated and exterminated. However, he did not expect that the Qin family could no longer satisfy their appetite.
"No wonder most people in the Central Plains despise merchants. Merchants seek profit, and most of them are morally corrupt, ignorant, and have no lower limits. They are really a group of despicable villains who have no king or father, and are unfaithful and unfaithful."
Although Murong Ke was extremely despised by the Shanxi merchants, he did not care too much. After all, if he wanted to capture Zhenbei Pass, he still had to rely on the help of these Shanxi merchants.
After opening the letter, seeing the contents of the first line, Murong Ke’s pupils shrank.
The letter reads: Wang Meng led a 40,000 army in Yanmen, Xi Zhicai led a 20,000 army in Taiyuan, and was about to enter the Yinchuan territory, while Yang Ye had led a 40,000 army through Yinshan County and was about to enter Ningxia County.
The 100,000 elite troops of the Jin army are about to attack. Even though Murong Ke had already been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the speed of the Jin army''s reaction.
"It seems that His Highness the Princess failed, and the information was leaked. Now Qin Wen attaches great importance to us and sent 100,000 elite Jin troops to attack. The next action may not be easy."
A general wearing black armor said to Murong Ke, but Murong Ke said calmly: "Fortunately, I considered this before coming, otherwise I would be caught off guard."
"It seems you have a solution."
The black-armored general smiled faintly, while Murong Ke smiled and said nothing more.
Soon, Murong Ke summoned all the generals and ordered: "Immediately, pass on the order, confiscate all the food and grass from the people of the city, distribute them for ten days of food, drive all the people of the city out of the city, and then..."
As he said that, a trace of coldness flashed in Murong Ke''s eyes, and he said coldly: "Burn this city."
"What?"
When the generals heard this, they were shocked. They were clearly saying that they wanted to win over the hearts of the people, but now they are trying to drive the people to burn the city?
Murong Shao was scolded by Murong Ke several times and no longer dared to question his father rashly, but Murong Lin asked, "Uncle, if this is the case, it will definitely arouse the resistance of the people of Hetao. At that time, we will probably fall into a difficult situation in Hetao!"
“One time and another time.”
Murong Ke''s deep pupils were calm and he said slowly: "Although our army wants to win over the hearts of the people, we cannot blindly please the people.
The people of Hetao are devoted to Qin Wen. No matter how kind our army is, they are destined to do their best to do their best..."
