Huan Xuan sighed: "When my late father finally evacuated from Guanzhong, he took away tens of thousands of Han people who were willing to come back with him. It's a pity that neither the general's father-in-law nor Wang Meng and Wang Jinglue came with him. This matter Let us know that the people's hearts in Guanzhong are alienated from our Dajin. If we want to win the world, we must first win the hearts of the people in the world. Therefore, before we send troops to Guanzhong next time, we must first win over the people's hearts in Guanzhong, and wait until the time is right. , Only then can Guanzhong be settled in one fell swoop.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Zongzhi's eyes, he shook his head and said softly: "Prince Huan, I am not too talkative, but the hearts of the people in Guanzhong will be difficult to win in the short term. The king of that day, Fu Jian, has been implementing benevolent policies for many years, reducing reductions and exemptions The people in Guanzhong are grateful for the taxes, just like me, Lu Zong, who volunteered to join the army this time, and even though he is now a prisoner, he does not hate Fu Jian."
Huan Xuan nodded: "I know this. Although Fu Jian is not good at fighting, he has many ways to win people's hearts. Guanzhong is the foundation. Like General Lu, although he was in trouble for a while, he still did not forget his old master. This kind of The act of loyalty is admirable, and the three million I spent was well spent!"
A trace of guilt flashed across Lu Zongzhi's face: "This should be the duty of a human being. In recent years, we Guanzhong people have received many favors from the King of Heaven. Although the Crown Prince has been very kind to us, Zongzhi still cannot bear to abandon his old master and do harm." His affairs, so although the prince’s proposal is good, please forgive Zongzhi for not obeying his order. Zongzhi would rather be an ordinary guard than do anything to harm the king of heaven. Please give me a lesson from Prince Huan!”
Huan Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "General Lu, please don't get me wrong. I know that you are here to express your gratitude to Fu Jian for his kindness over the years. On the other hand, your family and children are still in Guanzhong. If you want Qin to know If you help Jin rebel against Qin, I am afraid that the safety of my family will not be guaranteed. Naturally, I will not do such a thing to embarrass the general. However, the general may not know that the world of Qin is about to collapse, and Guanzhong has been there for many years. The peace that comes will also be broken.”
Lu Zongzhi's expression changed, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Huan Xuan with disbelief in his eyes: "No, I know the strength of the Qin State, especially in the Guanzhong area, where the people all yearn for the King of Heaven. If you lose a battle, you will not be able to believe it." As for letting Da Qin completely collapse."
Huan Xuan said sternly: "If it was just the defeat of Feishui this time, it would really be nothing. Cao Cao also had the defeat of Chibi back then, and he could stabilize the north after returning. But Fu Jian is not Cao Cao, and his world is not so stable. Guanzhong moved in A large number of Xianbei and Qiang people were slaves who had been destroyed by the Qin State established by the Di people. They were resentful, especially the Xianbei people, who had never been kind and righteous. The Jin Dynasty treated them well, but When the Jin Dynasty was in danger, they gathered their troops and sat back, and in the end they even proclaimed themselves emperor. Even if the Jin Dynasty, which had no debt to them, was like this, how could they not take the opportunity to add insult to injury and avenge the Qin State, which wanted to destroy the country? ?”
Lu Zongzhi's eyes were shining. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak.
Huan Xuan took Lu Zongzhi's hand and said slowly: "And I'm afraid the general doesn't know why the Qin army was defeated in this battle of Feishui. The bravery and skill of the Beifu army was certainly the main reason, and there were also The general may not know something, but Murong Chui and Yao Chang have already secretly communicated with the Xie family here and informed us of the Qin army's intelligence early in the morning. Only then can Xie Xuan make up his mind to seize the opportunity. A decisive battle before the Qin army arrived. During the decisive battle, Zhu Xu, Zhang Tianci and others also defected early, and hundreds of thousands of Qin troops collapsed like this."
Lu Zongzhi's face turned red with anger and he stomped his feet: "These two traitors, traitors!"
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "For Fu Jian, they naturally want revenge. One brother died in the hands of Qin, and the other hated the country and the family. After his son died and sacrificed his wife, this revenge would be exchanged for General Lu. Will you not retaliate?"
Lu Zongzhi was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Wang Lugong is right, these two traitors should have been eliminated long ago. The king of heaven was kind and left these two evils behind, which led to today's defeat. Shi Ye, Life!"
Huan Xuan nodded: "They will not stop here, and will continue to cause trouble in Guanzhong and Guandong. Fu Jian has now gone to seek refuge with Murong Chui. He is afraid that he will never come back like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. And Fu Jian is dead. , there is no leader in Guanzhong, and the Xianbei and Qiang people will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos. What I said about Qin and the world will collapse, and Guanzhong will be in chaos, is this."
Lu Zongzhi gritted his teeth and sighed: "If this is really the case, then Zongzhi is willing to help the people who escaped from Guanzhong in Nanyang, but Zongzhi hopes to send his personal followers back to Guanzhong first, tell my family that I am still in Nanyang, and then let him They came here early to join some dead brothers."
Huan Xuan smiled and said, "That's natural. It's just that General Lu is alone now. Are your followers still there?"
Lu Zongzhi nodded: "I have three personal guards that I bought with Yuan Song just now. If Prince Huan can help, please speak to Yuan Gong and let them come back."
Huan Xuan nodded: "Yuan Song is a very cheerful person, there is no problem with that. Before your family and friends come over, I will not let you publicly serve as the governor of Nanyang to harm your family. However, I remind the general that I will I treat you sincerely, General, and I hope that General can serve the Jin Dynasty wholeheartedly and serve our Jingzhou Huan clan in the future!"
Lu Zongzhi's eyes sparkled with tears, and he knelt down on one knee towards Huan Xuan: "From now on, Lu Zongzhi is willing to work hard for Prince Huan, through fire and water, no matter what kind of official position I get in the future, this life will belong to Prince Huan." If you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be abandoned!"
Huan Xuan's eyes flashed with pride, and he bent down to help Lu Zongzhi: "Zongzhi, do you still call me Prince Huan?"
Lu Zongzhi said quickly: "Lord!"
Liu Yu from a distance looked at the actions of Huan Xuan and Lu Zongzhi and sighed: "Huan Xuan is really outstanding, but Lu Zongzhi still won over him."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "After all, if three million is spent, anyone will be moved."
Liu Yu curled his lips and turned his gaze to the stage. The third batch of more than 300 prisoners had already been brought onto the stage. He smiled and said: "Well, the first two batches didn't have very good goals, but I hope that among this group of people, I can..."
Having said this, he suddenly froze in place and his eyes fell on a person, no, it should be said a group of people. These people all wore Han Chinese buns, gathered together tightly, and followed The barbarians on the side were far away, and most of them were injured. They walked with a limp, but they still supported each other, and there was a stubbornness in their eyes.
Liu Yu looked at the leading man and blurted out: "How could it be them!"
