Chapter 62 Fishing in Muddy Water 16
When Ji Xin finished speaking, Zhao Yong's smiling eyes swept over the faces of the generals, but stopped on the drama cloth standing with his head held high, showing an interested look and said, "Are you the drama cloth that dominates in Zhongshan with bravery?"
At first, the drama cloth looked arrogant and looked indifferent to Zhao Yong. Hearing Zhao Yong's words, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Do you recognize me?"
Zhao Yong smiled and said, "This is natural, not only recognized, but also seen it twice with his own eyes. But it's a pity that when they are all enemies in the battlefield, those who died in your hands are the good sons of my country of Zhao.
When the drama cloth heard this, I couldn't help humming heavily and raised my head and said proudly, "Now I'm here. If you want to avenge your men, you can take my head. If my drama cloth frowns, I won't be a good man."
Zhao Yong laughed and said, "What do I want your head to do? It's too big to use it as a night pot. Zhao Yong loves three things most in his life, liquor, BMW and Warrior, among which Warrior is my favorite. At the beginning, you and I were enemies and non-friends, and how could we meet each other on the battlefield? Now that you are Zhao General, I, Zhao Yong, naturally treat each other as a national scholar.
The drama cloth is still unruly and hummed loudly, "Well said, I'm a Baidi person. Even if you use me, I'm always on guard. What's the point of this? It's better to give me a hundred gold. How about I unload my armor and return to the field and let me be a rich man?
Speaking of this, almost everyone calmed down, just looking at the master and seeing how he answered. After all, this matter concerns the future and fate of all people.
The master did not answer, and his face was awe-inspiring. He just waved the whip behind him and shouted, "Any barbarian, take a step forward."
There was a noise among the 5,000 Zhao troops, and nearly half of the cavalry came out, and even the general Shi Hu was also in the list. They all held their long bows high and "woo" in their mouths.
Zhao Yong laughed and said, "See, this is my answer to you. More than half of my Zhao cavalry are from the Hu nationality, and among my generals, Hu generals occupy nearly half. My prime minister and my Taifu are all barbarians. Ask them, have I ever been biased against barbarians?
"Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Although he was still unconvinced on the surface of the play, he had already believed most of it in his heart. He just "hummed" gently and closed his mouth and said no more. Zhao Yong did not force this. After all, they were from Zhongshan a few hours ago, thinking about how to resist the invasion of the Zhao army. Now it is very difficult to do this.
Accompanied by Zhao Xin and others, Zhao Yong stepped on the general platform in front of the camp, looked at the Zhongshan soldiers under the stage, took a deep breath and said loudly, "The soldiers of Zhongshan, I am Zhao Yong, the father of the State of Zhao, and I will also be your new commander. Although you may not know me, you must have heard my name."
The army was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Zhao Yong in a squander, trying to hear what he wanted to say.
"For hundreds of years, Zhongshan and Zhao have been like two hungry wolves in the north, biting each other in order to survive each other's attackers. Just for this barren land and poor food, two countries that also respect warriors become sworn enemies of each other.
"In the rich Central Plains, the flower world there is occupied by a group of fat-hearted Central Plains people. They are greedy, stupid, despicable and shameless! You can't bend your bow when you get on the horse, and you can't wave your sword when you get off the horse. You can only recite poems and poems. Listening to the sound, you don't know the respect for warriors. It is such a group of worms who enjoy the fattest land and countless wealth given to them by God, and we warriors born in the cold land are fighting with each other for coarse food. Do you think it's fair and unfair?
"Unfair, unfair." All the Zhao soldiers raised their arms and shouted crazily. Zhao Jun's enthusiasm also immediately infected Zhongshan's soldiers, and many people also waved their arms and shouted loudly.
"Warriors of the Baidi clan, I, Zhao Yong, will become your commander today, end the hundreds of years of fighting and battle between our northerners, take you across Taihang, across the river, and lead you to conquer rich countries. The mountain of wealth there will belong to you, and all you need to do is be loyal to me and let me see the bravery and tenacity of your Baidi people.
"I promise each of you that you will get everything you deserve, and your parents and wives will live a rich life because of your bravery."
Zhao Yong is undoubtedly a natural commander and a natural king. He can make an army that was originally hostile to him fall into a crazy worship of him in an instant. He can rely on the charm of his personality to make the enemies of the past willingly crawl at his feet and kiss. In his life creed, there is nothing that can't be done, only the difference between what he wants to do and doesn't want to.
Zhao Yong's words not only successfully relieved the Zhongshan people's rejection and hostility towards the Zhao people, but also made the majority of the 16,000 people become his supporters. It won't be long before these Zhongshan people will spread Zhao Yong's words all over Zhongshan, and their relatives and friends will soon be moved by his slogan full of **.
As long as you are brave enough, you will get everything you want in the State of Zhao!
Zhao Xin did not veheed his promise, and his father quickly fulfilled everything he had promised for him. The army of the State of Zhao, which later entered the city, only took over the defense and did not disturb the people at all. The master's father promised in public that if Zhongshan's surrendered army did not want to join the army, he would let them go their own homes. If they were willing to continue to stay in the army to serve, they would be randomly incorporated into the Zhao army who arrived later. Those Zhongshan generals who surrendered with Ji Xin have maintained their original military positions one by one, waiting for the reorganizing of Zhao Jun with their old troops.
As for Ji Xin, he was personally worshipped as a general by his father in public. He was awarded the title of Viscount, and he was still the guard of Shiyi City and commanded the old department. But unexpectedly, Ji Xin refused the award and was unwilling to accept all military positions.
Seeing Ji Xin push away like this, Zhao Yong's face couldn't help sinking and said in a low voice: "General Ji is so shirking, but he hasn't died of Zhongshan Xiaowang?"
Ji Xin smiled bleakly and said with a sad face, "Lord, you are so careful, but all the old people have died. Now you have to be white, and life is already boring. I hope the Lord can understand my pains and let me leave the city by myself. The sinner Ji Xin didn't dare to ask for any reward. I just hope that you can treat these men under me well. I'm satisfied with being so old.
Zhao Yong didn't say anything, but just looked at Ji Xin. He couldn't see the joy or anger on his face. After a long time, he said slowly, "General Ji, you mean to hurt your family and died tragically and didn't care about the army, right?"
"Exact"
"If I tell you that you have not suffered the disaster of destruction, there is so much room for you to promise to serve for me?"
Ji Xin was stunned, but he didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Yong's words. He was about to ask, but he saw a horse in the Zhao army galloping, but there was a sack on the horse's back.
The cavalry galloped to the master, suddenly raised the reins, and threw the sack on the horse's back to the ground.
"To the Lord, it has been delivered."
The sack on the ground actually moved on the ground and struggled to stand up to show his head. It turned out to be a teenager tied up. The teenager was stuffed his mouth. He opened his eyes and looked at the crowd with a frightened face. When his eyes moved to Ji Xin, he stagnated, showing an ecstatic expression and whined.
Ji Xin was stunned at first, and immediately recognized that this man was his youngest son Ji Mu. Suddenly, he was dizzy. After a while, he trembled and came forward. He hugged him tightly and refused to let go. He cried with joy and forgot to untie him.
Zhao Yong laughed and said, "You are so brave. It's not easy for my men to subdue him. I have offended him for fear that he will escape. Please forgive me."
Only then did Ji Xin remember that his son was still tied up, and hurriedly loosened the rope and sackcloth in his mouth for him.
Ji Xinchu was free and knelt on the ground and cried silently. "Father, the child is useless. He failed to protect his grandmother and mother, and they all died in the hands of Sima Xi, the thief."
Ji Xin hugged his son tightly and said with tears, "Mu'er doesn't have to blame himself. It's useless for his father and implicates the family. Don't worry, our Ji family will never die in vain. Blood will be paid for it. Sima Xi, a dog thief, owes us a blood debt. I will settle it with him one by one sooner or later.
Speaking here, Ji Xin gritted his teeth and his face was full of ferociousness. Obviously, the survival of his only son aroused the flame of revenge in his heart.
"Mu'er, how did you escape?"
Ji Mu scratched his head and said doubtfully, "Sima Xi originally wanted to blackmail my father. I escaped while the guard was loose and fled in the wild for three days and nights, but I was caught by Zhao Jun and then came here."
The two cried bitterly for a while. Ji Xin thought that the master was beside him, so he took his son to kneel in front of Zhao Yong and said in a trembling voice: "The master's life is the kindness of the master today, and my father and son are willing to repay the hard work of this life. I have been in the army in Zhongshan for many years, and I have many old colleagues in the army, and the guard of the city is my life and death brother. The Lord gave me a horse, and I am willing to persuade him to surrender to Zhao.
Zhao Yong showed an imperceptible smile at the corners of his mouth, and soon his face regained calmness and sighed, "It's so good that you have the old general." However, he didn't notice that Zhao Xin's face was thoughtful.
