Chapter 175 The king is the king
The news of Zhang Liang's allegiance immediately caused an uproar in the Peking and Korean armies. This was not a small matter. Now the entire Korean army was under Zhang Liang's control. Everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know what happened. Originally, it was still
Why did Zhang Liang, who was on equal footing with Yang Lin, make such a decision so suddenly?
When Xiao He heard the news, he immediately knew that it was the result of Li Shiqi's lobbying. This surprised him but also made him extremely happy. Zhang Liang's talent is definitely a pillar of the country, especially with Yang Lin's assistance, many things will be solved easily. At this time,
He couldn't sit still and immediately went to the governor's house to pay a visit. When he saw Yang Lin's inner hall, Cao Shen and others also hurried over, and they all smiled knowingly.
Xiao He glanced around and didn't see Zhang Liang, but he didn't question it. He immediately stepped forward and congratulated: "Congratulations, my lord, on your great talent."
"Congratulations, lord!" The other generals also congratulated.
Yang Lin waved his hand, showed a smile, and said: "You also know that Mr. Zhang Liang and I have always been on good terms. His loyalty to me now is God's blessing for us. However, I have said something ugly in front of you. If you bully and
If you don't obey his orders, don't blame me for punishing you with military law." These words undoubtedly gave Zhang Liang great power.
The generals also knew and recognized Zhang Liang, so they would naturally accept it. "The general will not dare!" they immediately assured.
Just when Yang Lin and the generals were giving orders, Zhang Liang had already arrived at the Han army camp. Inside the tent, Vice General Li was walking around anxiously. He never thought that the lord he followed in his heart would be loyal to Yang Lin.
It wasn't that there was a gap between him and Yang Lin, it was just that he couldn't figure it out for the moment. After all, Zhang Liang and Yang Lin were equals before, but now they became monarchs and ministers without any warning.
Not only Vice General Li, but also many generals and soldiers in the Korean army did not understand why this was the case. Therefore, the morale of the Korean army was unstable, and many people gathered around the tent, hoping that Zhang Liang could give an explanation.
"Prime Minister, why on earth? Could it be that the last general is unworthy of the Prime Minister?" Vice General Li finally lost his patience and asked in a high-pitched voice.
Zhang Liang heard this. He did not answer him, but said: "Vice General Li, go and assemble the whole army. Liang Zi will explain."
"Hey..." Vice General Li sighed, then hurriedly left the tent and quickly assembled his troops.
Hearing that Zhang Liang wanted to explain, all the soldiers gathered as quickly as possible. They wanted to know what Zhang Liang was thinking, why he wanted to be loyal to Yang Lin, and what position he put them in. The reason why the military morale is so low now
The reason for the confusion is that these Korean soldiers really don’t know where they will go in the future. The King of Han is dead and the prime minister is loyal, but what should they do?
Seeing that the entire army was assembled, Zhang Liang took a deep breath. He knew the mood of the soldiers and the weight of the choice he had made. However, he did not regret it because the ambition in his heart had not yet been realized. The expressions of the soldiers were
Some were confused, some were deep, but none of them were happy, which shows Zhang Liang's influence on their hearts.
Looking at these people, Zhang Liang was also quite emotional, but he immediately calmed down the emotions in his heart. The first task now is to stabilize the morale of the army, so he explained: "You are all Korean warriors. You are not afraid of life and death, in order to regain your homeland."
Han Er fought with the Qin army several times. He felt guilty in his conscience, not because Liang chose to be loyal to Pei Gong, but because Liang failed to fulfill his ambition. I know that many of you have been confused in your heart. King Han is dead. We are like this
Is there any point in continuing to pay? Today, I will tell you that what you have done will eventually be remembered in history and praised by future generations."
After a pause, he swept through the crowd again and continued to speak: "We are willing to fight against Qin for the sake of the people of the old Han Dynasty and for the sake of our wives, children and children at home. Now Pei Gong is benevolent and righteous and loves the people. Wherever he goes, the soldiers and civilians are of the same mind. There is no good character."
Different from this, for the sake of the Han people, you will be loyal to Pei Gong. If you are willing to follow Liang, Liang will be more than happy. If you are not willing, Liang will not force you."
Having said this, it is obvious that the Korean soldiers have made their own choice. All Zhang Liang can do is to explain the matter clearly. He does not want these warriors who have been fighting for the Korean people to feel disappointed and regretful.
When all the Korean troops looked at me and I looked at you, they didn’t know where to go. They also understood Zhang Liang’s words. If it weren’t for the purpose of opposing the Qin Bao family, who would be willing to resist life and death? In the end, they fought hard outside and had nothing to do with it.
I almost want my mother, wife and children to live comfortably in the future.
And just as Zhang Liang said, Yang Lin's words and deeds, fairness and justice, and his courage to consider the people were all admired by these soldiers. After the above explanation, most people can understand Zhang Liang's choice.
It was a matter of great righteousness. And Lieutenant General Li was also a little ashamed. He was so angry in the tent just now, but he didn't realize that he didn't understand Zhang Liang at all.
So he took a step forward, saluted respectfully and said, "Li Ran is willing to be loyal to Pei Gong, and for this reason the people of Han will fight bravely to kill the enemy."
With Li Ran taking the lead, many hesitant soldiers became determined, and they shouted together: "We are willing to serve Duke Pei."
Zhang Liang was overjoyed. Nearly 4,000 of the 6,000 soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and he did not force the other 2,000 people. Everyone had their own ambitions. Choosing different paths was destined to have different results, but there was no
Right or wrong. He waved his hand, tried to keep his mood calm, and said: "I would like to work with you to do our best for Pei Gong's righteousness."
Then, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Li, the 4,000 troops who entered were separated separately. As for the remaining 2,000 Korean troops, Lieutenant General Li also felt complicated and solemn. These are brothers who have followed him to advance and retreat together, and share weal and woe. But
Today, they had to separate because there was no third option.
Seeing a 500-year-old leader walking out of the two thousand Korean troops, Lieutenant General Li reluctantly showed a bitter smile and said: "You kid, lead your brothers to fight against Qin."
The five hundred masters nodded heavily and looked at Li Ran with confusion, saying: "I didn't expect this result. It's not that we are unwilling to be loyal to Pei Gong, but that our king is King Han, not Yang Lin
.”
"No." Zhang Liang suddenly came over and said: "The king is the king, and the people are the people. The king is the leader of the people, but he is not the foundation of the people. I always miss the king of Han in my conscience, but the people are under the control of the Qin army."
I am suffering so much under the devastation. I wonder which one is lighter and which is more important? Pei Gong once said, the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least."
"Prime Minister, we are just ordinary people and do not understand the profound ways. The king is the king, there is no light or weight. Please forgive me. We will leave Yangdi tomorrow to conquer our homeland for the king of Han." These five hundred masters are generous.
