As soon as Zhu Lingshi said these words, there was a warm cheer in the tent. Only Wang Zhene still showed an unbearable look on his face and said: "There are more than 3,000 Murong clan members, it is impossible for everyone to be ambitious, so indiscriminate Isn’t it a bit too much to kill everyone who is close to them? If we only kill Murong De and Murong Chui’s brothers and nephews, adding up to several hundred people, wouldn’t it be enough?”
Zhu Lingshi said coldly: "Suppressing evil, let alone Murong Zhen, is he a close relative of the Murong family? After he was the brother of Murong Gui, he and Murong Chui had already been in the fifth service We are distant relatives. Didn’t we become generals when we were in Xiyan and became clan members when we arrived in Nanyan?”
"Ambition has nothing to do with distance. These Murong clan members, as long as their surname is Murong, as long as they have an ancestor who was a clan leader or a clan leader's brother, they will all want to be the emperor. Anyone who blocks the way will be killed. Whether they are Han Chinese from a different race or fathers, sons and brothers from the same race.”
Wang Zhene was speechless now. He finally knew that the reason why Liu Mu made his attitude clear first and then asked Zhu Lingshi to express his stance was that he had already made up his mind.
Now, he only had the last hope left. He looked at Liu Yu, clasped his fists, and said with earnestness on his face: "Commander, although what Big Stone said is very reasonable, after all, Nanyan has just been destroyed, and the people are not convinced. , If we continue to kill people wantonly at this time, I am afraid that we will attract criticism and other surrenders will also be panicked. After a while, the army will withdraw, and there is no guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to rebel again. It is not only the Murong clan that will cause rebellion."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Zhen evil, what you said is very good. We should indeed practice more benevolence and righteousness. However, Alan's death this time proves one thing, that is, benevolence and righteousness are useless for people who are arrogant. Just like As for Lu Xun, Xu Daofu, and the tens of thousands of Wu old thieves who followed them across the ocean, didn't we give them a chance? Didn't we treat them with kindness and justice? What was the result in exchange?"
Wang Zhene no longer dared to refute. He could only bow his head and retreat to his queue. In the tent, only Liu Yu's voice was left echoing around: "This tragedy has proved one thing." The thing is that we should never underestimate our enemies at any time. Murong Zhen was ambitious and took the opportunity to rebel, while Murong Chao used the soul control method for Heipao and Empress Dowager Gongsun to control them, but this reminds us again , that is the clan status of the Murong family, which is born to be manipulated, as the best excuse to rebel against the banner, from this perspective, no one is innocent!"
Wang Zhene's face turned red, and he whispered: "My subordinate was not thinking carefully at the moment and ignored this point. Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Suppressing evil, you are out of public interest. We are here to discuss military affairs, so that everyone can speak freely. The truth is that the more we debate, the clearer it becomes. Only when everyone brainstorms and expresses their opinions can we think of the things we have ignored."
At this point, he paused: "When the former Qin Dynasty was overthrown, the remnants of the former Yan Dynasty who had already destroyed the country began to revolt to restore the country. Needless to say, those who started the rebellion on the other side of Murong Chui should be respected far away. Murong Wei, the king of Chang'an and the great sinner of the entire Murong tribe, is the leader. Isn't this just to use this person's status as emperor?"
"Murong Wei was executed after the failed uprising. The Xiyan troops outside the city made Murong Chong, who was a close relative of the clan, the leader instead of first recommending Murong Yong, Murong Zhen and others who were good at fighting and prestigious. Is it because of the reputation of these clans that their status is more noble? Even if he is a loser, as long as he is a descendant of the Murong family, the closer the relationship with the royal family is, the easier it will be for the Xianbei people to recognize him and be elected as the leader. "
"Needless to say Murong, even when we rebelled against Huan and built Yi Jingkou, no one recommended me to sit in that high position. We still have to welcome His Majesty to return to the throne. Before he returns to the throne, we still have to find Sima, the King of Wuling. Zun is the temporary regent. This is also to find a name, to let the emperor or the clan recognized by everyone in the world sit in this high position. Therefore, we cannot give our enemies this opportunity!"
Wang Zhene nodded again and again this time: "What the Marshal said is absolutely true. This title is very important. From this point of view, it is really necessary to kill the Murong clan. However, we must also consider the consequences afterwards. At least we can’t make everyone feel in danger and make those other surrendered Xianbei people feel unnecessary betrayal.”
Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "Fat man, what Zhen evil said makes sense. What are you going to do?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "This is not difficult to do. First, kill the Murong clan. Don't let us do it. Let the Yue tribe, the Xianbei people of the Helan tribe, as well as the Han family, Gao family and other local Han people do it." The big people come to take action, oh, by the way, especially the Pilu family. They should be the ones who want to do these things the most. Giving them a chance to take revenge is to let the local post-war Han and Hu families have blood on their hands. In this way, the nature becomes an internal liquidation within Nanyan, and will not be transferred to us."
Shen Tianzi laughed loudly and said: "This trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really good. Anyone who dares not to do it must have different intentions. Even he will be killed. If you do it and get blood, you will surrender. Even if you want to rebel in the future, you will have to do it." Think about this outcome."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, what we want is this effect. After the Murong clan is wiped out, the leader of the army will be gone. The remaining Xianbei clan members of the original Murong tribe will be leaderless. We will use the remaining The main force, such as the armored cavalry of the Yue tribe and the elite troops of the Helan tribe, were mobilized south to quell the demon-thief rebellion. The remaining tribesmen who stayed behind were dispersed and organized into various pastures and manors, cutting off their connections and leaving no trace of them. It will be difficult for the leader to cause chaos again."
There was a burst of praise from the tent, and Wang Zhene nodded repeatedly. Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Zhene, this time you recruited Duan Hong, the Xianbei young general. I think he is pretty good. His performance was wrong this time. He can be called a general, and from now on, I think he will be in charge of the local Xianbei soldiers."
Wang Zhen smiled evilly and said: "Then I would like to thank Fat Chang Shi for his help. He was just a team leader before. Now he can lead thousands of troops. It's a bit too fast."
Liu Yu said calmly: "In this troubled world, what is needed is to vigorously use real talents. How can we stick to the normal seniority and promotion speed? If you were promoted according to peacetime, I am afraid half of you would not be standing here now. This young man Duan Hong has performed well this time, and I have been paying attention to him and letting him lead the troops, I think it will work!"
