Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1115 Traitor
Chapter 1113: Traitor
Although what Murong Lin said and what Murong Ke thought were not exactly the same, there were seven differences.

Looking at Murong Lin, Murong Ke nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Murong Shao: "Do you understand now?"

"My child... feel ashamed."

Murong Shao just felt a little ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Regarding the release of the captives, Murong Shao still had some difficulty accepting it, but his father's military order had been issued, so he could only obey it.

After a while, another soldier came to report.

"General, people from the Qiao family have come and said they have something important to see you."

"Let them come over."

A fat man with a big belly and a shrewd face came 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 with great enthusiasm: "Congratulations, General, for taking this city and completely solving the crisis of food and grass."

Although it is absolutely impossible for Murong Ke to take the city so easily without the intelligence and leadership of the Qiao family, he still has no good feelings for these traitors, and said very coldly: "Is there any new information?"

Fatty Qiao Gui's words seemed to be flattering, but in fact he was emphasizing the credit of his own family, but he didn't expect Murong Ke to be so disrespectful to himself, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly for a while.

"Damn Murong Ke, how dare you show embarrassment to me. If you didn't have information about my Qiao family, you wouldn't even know where you are."

Fatty Qiao greeted the eighteen generations of Murong Ke's ancestors in his heart, but he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said with a flattering smile: "The general is really astute, there is indeed new information from Taiyuan... ..."

Fatty Qiao wanted to report by himself, but he didn't want Murong Ke to stretch out his hand directly. Obviously, he didn't intend to listen to his report, but wanted to see it by himself.

Fatty Qiao's face froze, he greeted Murong Ke's ancestors for eighteen generations again in his heart, and handed over the document with a smirk.

Fatty Qiao actually understands in his heart that Murong Ke looks down on traitors like himself from the bottom of his heart, but your Murong family is also a traitor of Xianbei, everyone is a traitor, no one is nobler than the other, why do you look down on me?
Fatty Qiao deliberately ignored one point, that is, the Murong family had already done their best for Xianbei, and Yuan Meng, who was forced to surrender after Xianbei's demise, would only be exterminated if he did not surrender.

But the Qiao family's rebellion was because Qin Wen didn't do anything wrong to the Qiao family, but instead showed great kindness to the Qiao family, they took the initiative to rebel and defected to Yuanmeng as traitors.

There is simply no comparison between the two.

Murong Ke didn't want to see him, and Fatty Qiao naturally didn't want to stay to see his face. After leaving the information, he was ready to leave, but when he walked to the door, Murong Ke asked a word abruptly.

"Mr. Qiao, as far as I know, your father, Mr. Qiao Sheng, was not clothed in his early years. He first worked as a pawn shop boy, then opened a forage shop, and also did business in tofu, bean sprouts and odd groceries until he met a man surnamed Qin. You got the support of the Qin family after you got married, so your Qiao family can become the eight great families of Shanxi merchants, and this person with the surname of Qin is Qin Jian, the younger brother of Qin Wen."

Speaking of this, Murong Ke's eyes flashed a look of puzzlement, 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 stably. How about taking refuge in Yuanmeng at the risk of annihilation?"

This time, Murong Ke saved face for Fatty Qiao, and there is another meaning in his words, that is, your Qiao family rose up entirely because of the Qin family, and the Qin family has nothing to do to you, but Why do you betray the Qin family ungratefully?
If these words were spoken directly, it would completely turn against the Qiao family, so Murong Ke changed his way to make indirect remarks, and he was really curious about what these traitors thought.

Fatty Qiao obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of Murong Ke's words, and looked at Murong Ke with a strange expression, and said as it should: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Although the Qin family is very kind to my Qiao family, they can no longer make my Qiao family go any further. What does it matter if we join Yuanmeng for the family's great cause? "

When Murong Ke heard this, he was stunned. He originally thought that these Shanxi merchants were just for self-protection. After all, many families in Bingbei had smuggled supplies to Yuanmeng. Qin Wen also hated this matter very much. Once he found out Then the family must be ransacked and the family wiped out, but they don't think it's just that the Qin family can't satisfy their appetite.

"It's no wonder that most people in the Central Plains despise businessmen. Businessmen are profit-seeking, and most of them are morally corrupt, ungrateful, and have no lower limit. They are really a group of despicable villains who have no king, no father, and are unfaithful."

Although Murong Ke felt extremely contemptuous of Shanxi merchants, he didn't care too much. After all, if he wanted to capture Zhenbei Pass, he had to rely on the help of these Shanxi merchants.

After opening the letterhead, Murong Ke couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw only the first line.

It was written in the letter: Wang Meng led an army of [-] from Yanmen, Xi Zhicai led an army of [-] from Taiyuan, and was about to enter the border of Yinchuan, while Yang Ye led an army of [-] through Yinshan County and was about to enter Ningxia County.

The [-] Jin army elites are about to attack. Murong Ke has already been mentally prepared, and he is still shocked by the Jin army's reaction speed.

"It seems that Her Royal Highness has failed, and the information is still leaked out. Now Qin Wen attaches great importance to us, and sent [-] elite Jin troops to crusade, and the next action may not be easy."

A general in black armor said to Murong Ke, but Murong Ke said indifferently: "Fortunately, I thought about this before I came, otherwise I'm afraid I will be caught off guard."

"It seems that you already have a countermeasure."

General Heijia smiled lightly, while Murong Ke smiled and didn't say much.

Soon, Murong Ke summoned all the generals and gave an order: "Immediately issue an order to collect all the food and grass in the hands of the people in the city, distribute them ten days' rations, and drive all the people out of the city, and then..."

As he spoke, a trace of coldness flashed across Murong Ke's eyes, and he said coldly, "Burn this city."

"what?"

All the generals turned pale with shock when they heard it, they were talking about buying people's hearts just now, but now they want to expel the people and burn the city instead?
Murong Shao was trained several times by Murong Ke, and he didn't dare to question his father rashly, but Murong Lin asked: "Uncle, if this is the case, it will definitely arouse the resistance of the people in Hetao, and we will be in trouble in Hetao by then." It's a tough place to move!"

"This time and the other."

Murong Ke's deep pupils were calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Although our army wants to buy people's hearts, we can't blindly please them.

The hearts of the people in Hetao are for Qin Wen, no matter how much our army bestows favors, they are doomed to be useless..."
