Chapter 358: Civil and Military All-rounder(1/2)
Called several times.
But he saw Jiang Wei standing with his head held high, his expression unchanged, his face still solemn and silent.
He looked like he was waiting for death and had the will to die.
When the generals saw this, they felt more and more admiration for the young man in front of them.
There are probably not many people who have the courage to die without reservation.
However, due to respect, he saw Zhao Tong shouting several times but ignored him.
The so-called "I will die if I humiliate my master."
The guard at his side, Huo Yi, changed his expression instantly, pointed his finger at him, and shouted sternly: "Jiang Wei, as a prisoner, the general condescended to question you, why didn't you answer?"
"Do you want me to wait for execution?"
Having said that, he waved his hands to send the guards to mount the torture instruments.
However, Zhao Tong waved his hand to stop him.
Follow closely.
The serious look on his face just now gradually changed into a smile, showing a kind smile like a spring breeze. He smiled softly and said to him, "Jiang Boyue, I heard that you are from Tianshui County."
"I also know that you are a loyal minister. Your father fought against the Qiang people for the Han Dynasty and made great contributions to the country. You can be called a loyal minister of the country..."
When the words came to this point, Jiang Wei, who had been silent at first, suddenly took over the words, snorted and said coldly, "I heard that your army has always held high the banner of reviving the great Han Dynasty."
"But now they do not hesitate to collude with the Qiang bandits, who are the world's enemies of the Han Dynasty, to openly cause chaos and cause trouble to the prefectures and counties."
"Hmph, with such actions, how can you have the dignity to call yourself the emperor of the Han Dynasty and revive the Han Dynasty?"
A series of words came to an end.
Jiang Wei looked angry at this moment.
The muscles all over his body seemed to be tense with the strong momentum.
He scolded loudly.
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the tent.
Although none of the generals present were from Liangzhou, they were well aware of the frequent wars between Han and Qiang for more than a hundred years.
Probably because the imperial court had repeatedly recruited old soldiers from Sichuan to help out.
For Liu Yin, Zhang Yi and other Sichuan people.
In fact, the Qiang people also have hatred against them.
In this battle, only because of the huge disparity in military strength between our own forces and the various departments of Cao's army, we had no choice but to form an alliance with the White Horse and Qiang to advance and retreat together.
This time Jiang Wei took the commanding heights of justice and made accusations.
It makes it difficult for everyone to argue.
Everyone bowed their heads slightly.
After waiting around for a week and watching the scenes around him, Zhao Tong couldn't help but praise in his heart, "You are worthy of Tianshui Qilin'er. Such eloquence is really quite impressive."
I saw him refuting it with great righteousness.
He took a deep breath and pondered for a long time, knowing that he would not be able to refute his words. After thinking about it again and again, he slightly adjusted his tone of voice and said:
"Since the time of the two emperors Huan and Ling, they have sold their official positions, amassed wealth and enjoyed themselves, and ordered the local wealthy families to do whatever they want without caring about it. In addition, due to the successive years of Qiang chaos, the national treasury was empty."
"There were natural and man-made disasters outside, the people in the states and counties were unable to gain anything, and there were oppressions from the big clans at home. This eventually led to the rise of the Yellow Turbans, which made the princes become bigger one after another, but the imperial court was powerless."
"Therefore, in the court hall, there are rotten trees serving as officials, and everywhere in the land, animals eat their salary, making the country more and more declining."
"Now, under the guise of the savior, the thief Cao took the opportunity to kidnap the emperor, move the capital without authorization, and imprison him in a deep palace, where he never sees the light of day. All government orders are made by him alone, and he does whatever he wants."
When the words came to this point, after a pause, Zhao Tong seemed to become more and more excited and excited, and continued to speak impassionedly: "Fortunately, my lord is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he can justly attack the traitors in the name of Qingjun.
"
"Just now, regardless of his reputation, he imitated Emperor Gaozu and set up an altar in Mianyang. The ministers supported him as the King of Hanzhong and crusaded against the rebellion in the world."
"In this battle, our army marched north on behalf of the righteous army of the Han Dynasty. The rebels did not want to surrender by chance, but set up troops to resist. On the contrary, the Qiang people were willing to return to our banner."
"I, a great man, have always embraced all rivers and rivers, and united with people with lofty ideals from all sides to eliminate the traitors first, bring peace to the court, and bring peace to the people of the world as the right way. How can I still remember the grudges of the past when I lose a big thing because of a small thing?"
"Since Boyue has been a loyal member of the Han Dynasty, he should join our army and help the country with us. If he insists on being stubborn and loyal to the national traitors, how can his father rest in peace even if he is under the Nine Springs?"
This eloquent speech fell.
All of a sudden.
The faces of all the generals suddenly changed, and they each raised their heads happily.
On the other hand, the prisoner below, Jiang Wei, was speechless for a while and didn't know how to respond.
See this.
The corners of Zhao Tong's mouth raised slightly.
He noticed that Jiang Wei initially wanted to refute others from the commanding heights of righteousness to show that he was unable to respond.
After thinking deeply, he also decided to fight fire with fire.
Treat others in their own way.
His words were also based on moral principles.
First, it explains the factors that led to the decline of the Han Dynasty.
He also pointed out that the hatred between the Han and the Qiang was just a disease caused by the love of foreigners. The national thieves who controlled the government and caused trouble to the court were regarded as the great enemy.
Bearing the brunt of the attack, we should unite all forces to overthrow the puppet Cao Cao.
This last sentence is like the finishing touch.
Directly start from his father Zhongliang to persuade Jiang Wei to surrender.
If he doesn't surrender, he will continue to resist stubbornly, be a foolish loyal traitor, and discredit his father.
Each of these words can be said to be a link within a set, without any flaws, and it is said to be flawless.
He seemed to have pondered for a long time.
Jiang Wei also seemed to feel a little powerless for a moment.
It is not that he is willing to surrender, nor that he would rather die than surrender.
All we can do is continue the trend of silence.
But at this moment, Zhao Tong was observing his every move in detail, paying attention to the faint traces of tangle and anxiety on his face.
Zhao Tong already understood it.
Jiang Wei's heart was moved, but there might still be some obsession left in his heart, which made him unwilling to comply.
In response to this, Zhao Tong was unwilling to continue examining it.
He already understood that it was unrealistic to recruit Jiang Wei in one fell swoop.
With this person's mentality, if the Cao family had not done anything wrong to him or done anything harmful to the law, it might be difficult to persuade him to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.
Then this will take time.
The decision has been made.
Zhao Tong then waved his hand and ordered the guards to escort him again and gave the order in a deep voice.
In addition to restricting Jiang Wei's personal freedom to prevent escape.
For the rest, don't bother me at all.
Raising it up was the strategy Zhao Tong considered to recruit Jiang Wei after careful consideration.
after all.
In original history, Jiang Wei's return to the Han Dynasty was not his own initiative.
It was the Cao family who regarded him as an abandoned son and had no choice but to return to the Han camp with his fellow villagers.
Later, he was valued by Zhuge Liang.
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
If you want to catch big fish, you have to stay calm.
After the Jiang Wei matter has been properly handled.
The rest of the prisoners also followed the instructions of the governor Huo Jun. Those who should be incorporated into the field camp were incorporated into the camp on the spot, and those who were unable to be transported to the rear were arranged.
Finish all the trivial matters one by one.
In the following days.
As the days gradually enter the July season.
The northern land has ushered in the hottest and most unbearable time of the year.
To be continued...
