Jin Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Ji deeply.
Zhang Ji's previous remarks were indeed quite murderous.
He himself and the generals under his command were all discouraged by Zhang Ji's rhetoric, but Zhang Ji gave them, the losers, a dignity at the last moment.
Moreover, I have to say that although Zhang Ji's previous words were too heart-wrenching, the human nature and sophistication in the last sentence was far better than all the heart-wrenching words before.
Why did Qin give them a chance to die in revenge for General Jin Bi?
Don't you just want them to surrender and serve Qin?
Surrender, no matter which country it is in, no matter who it is for, is an extremely shameful thing. Just asking for surrender is a humiliation for those bloody generals.
But since ancient times, people have always chosen to surrender for various helpless reasons.
Some are greedy for life and afraid of death, and some are forced to have no choice but not everyone who surrenders will be despised by the world.
For example, the more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers who were besieged in Changping were in a desperate situation without food and help. From the moral perspective of this era, these Zhao soldiers had already tried their best for Zhao. No one will label them as traitors, they will only complain about Zhao Kuo's incompetence.
And now, this Wei army with only 8,000 people left is in a state of death and no life.
They had at least fought, but after being defeated they were put into a situation of certain death and had to surrender.
However, the Yulin Cavalry has not yet become famous, and no one knows the unstoppable fighting power of these three thousand Yulin Cavalry. They will only be considered an incompetent army greedy for life and afraid of death.
At that time, the family they left behind in Wei State will also be liquidated.
And Zhang Ji's words gave them the most respectable step.
The seemingly harsh and heart-wrenching words before became a step they had to step down.
If you break through, you will die, if you hold on, you will die. There are no reinforcements from outside and no food and grass inside. The army is completely demoralized and the commander is persecuting.
Coupled with the identities of this group of people, the old Jin Bi tribe had a bloody feud with the Wei army general. With this series of reasonable excuses and this suitable identity, their surrender was completely reasonable.
In this way, it is safe for them to urinate at home in the country.
As long as King Wei of Wei is still the king who intends to rejuvenate Wei, he will only treat their children badly and send them to Qin to gain the reputation of a benevolent king.
Of course, Zhang Ji's words not only stopped the people of the world from talking for them, but also gave them a reason to persuade them to surrender.
They are not afraid of death, but want to avenge their former benefactor!
My master's master is not my master, so it is an act of loyalty for me to betray my master's master in order to avenge my master!
"call!"
Jin Yao took a long breath.
At this moment, he was as calm as ever.
His eyes swept across the generals in the hall. Some of them still stood with their swords in their faces with hatred on their faces; some looked ashen and at a loss; others looked happy and wanted to survive.
Zhang Ji is indeed a good calculator.
It not only gave them a step, but also forced Jin Yao.
If Jin Yao does not surrender, it will be unfilial.
Everyone had a reason not to surrender, but he didn't.
Because Jin Bi is his biological father.
At the same time, if Jin Yao does not surrender, then the group of Jin's old tribe under his command will lose their sense of surrender.
Even the son of General Jin Bi is unwilling to surrender for revenge. You guys have the nerve to surrender?
In other words, if Jin Yao does not surrender, then the life of his soldiers will be cut off.
He didn't dare to think about whether someone would assassinate him in order to survive, and then blame Wei Wuji for everything from the defeat to Jin Yao's death and their helpless surrender, on the pretext that Wei Wuji would kill his political opponents by any means necessary. Come to Jinyao.
Such is the human heart.
In the final analysis, the reason why these former members of the Jin Dynasty gathered under his command was not only to repay their gratitude, but also to stay together for warmth.
Death is like a lamp going out. Wei Wuji is vigorously suppressing Jin's old subordinates and disciples for the Wei court. Most of them are just gathering under Jin Yao to protect their own interests.
Jin Yao knew this.
Therefore, if Jin Yao still wants to live and avenge his father, there is only one way to go.
"Tell me what you think."
Jin Yao did not let Zhang Ji retreat temporarily, but directly asked the opinions of his generals in front of Zhang Ji.
"Alas, we have already tried our best for the Wei Dynasty. It is not because we are disloyal, but the situation is like this."
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about the lives of your subordinates!"
The generals are not fools. Jin Yao's actions make it clear that he is planning to surrender. Even if he has not yet made up his mind to surrender to Qin, he must have preferred this choice in his heart. Those generals who support surrender naturally no longer worry. , took the initiative to stand up and propose surrender.
"You bastards, we are from Wei! It is a matter of loyalty to the emperor to eat the emperor's salary! How can we let down the motherland and the emperor?"
"A group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death! People who are as timid as rats!"
There are surrender factions, and naturally there are also war factions.
The three war generals immediately stood up and rebuked the surrendering generals who had just spoken. They looked at Jin Yao with burning eyes, hoping that Jin Yao would not waver in his determination to fight to the death.
"Loyal to the Lord? Which Lord are you loyal to? Don't forget who promoted you from a garrison at the gate of Daliang to an army lieutenant colonel, and who invited Fang Ji for you when your youngest son was seriously ill. Master of the house!”
As people continued to join in the quarrel, the generals under Jin Yao were quickly divided into the surrender faction and the main combat faction, and the two factions were at each other's throats.
Only the few generals of the Jin family did not express their opinions and stood silently behind Jin Yao, waiting for their young master to make a decision.
Zhang Ji took two steps back and stood side by side with Jing Salamander, watching the farce in the hall together.
He is not in a hurry at all. What should be anxious is Jin Yao and the surrendering generals under his command.
Even if Jin Yao does not surrender, this farce is enough to completely wipe out the last military morale and fighting spirit of this Wei army, so why should he be anxious?
Jin Yao looked at the playful smile on Zhang Ji's face, and he knew it was time for him to take action.
Immediately, Jin Yao looked at the general of the main battle faction who was scolding the surrender party, and made a sword-swinging gesture towards several Jin family generals.
Several people understood, and immediately drew their swords and chopped down several people from the main fighting group to the ground.
Suddenly the swords and soldiers were facing each other, and the surrendering generals were also a little confused, but the next moment they looked happy.
Because the seven people who fell in a pool of blood were all generals of the main fighting faction.
"Why?"
The few people who were chopped to the ground did not die immediately. They looked at Jin Yao with disbelief. They never thought that their nominal young master would suddenly attack behind his back.
In fact, it is possible that some of these seven people do not really want to fight to the end, but want to gain fame and reputation, be both important and established, and thus gain both fame and fortune.
But Jin Yao didn't intend to give these people a chance to rebel. Why should he bear the infamy for them, while they had both fame and fortune, so he dealt with them all at once.
There are also people who are really devoted to Wei and King Wei. One of them, an old veteran, was lying in a pool of blood. His gray beard and hair were already stained red by blood. He stretched out his blood-stained fingers and pointed at Jin. Yao Yao said: "How would General Jin Bi feel if he learned under Jiuquan that his only son was going to betray the motherland that he had protected for his entire life!"
A group of generals from the surrender faction looked at Jin Yao worriedly, fearing that Jin Yao would be shaken by these words, so they stood up with their swords in hand.
Jin Yao sneered, drew his sword, and with a scream, the sharp blade penetrated the veteran's back and penetrated deeply into the wooden floor under his feet.
Jin Yao pushed the long sword downward little by little and rotated the hilt, making a sharp crunching sound. He didn't know whether it was the sound of the sword rubbing against the floor or the sword rubbing against the bones.
"If my father learns under Jiuquan, the mother country where he has served his whole life will not only place all the blame for the stagnation on his head, but also regard the person who killed him as a hero of the Wei State. His clan, old tribe, All my disciples and former officials have been suppressed. I wonder how my father, who was betrayed by his motherland, would feel!"
With a roar, Jin Yao, with blood-red eyes, pulled out his sharp sword. The cold light fell again, and the veteran's body was separated.
