Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 411 Frankness

Situ Jing knew everything about this matter.

Before, in order to confuse General Wei, Song Yuan specifically ordered the Sunan garrison to follow General Wei.

Just based on the other party's loyalty to Song Yuan, he could indeed take General Wei's head with just one word!

However, such secret information involved Song Yuan's trump card. Even though Situ Jing had thought of this before, she did not reveal a single detail to outsiders.

"Brother, tell me honestly, do you have anyone in Tianshan City now?" Wei Da couldn't keep the secret in his heart, so he was the first to ask.

Song Yuan didn't shy away from the question this time and nodded directly: "That's why I said, as long as you follow my instructions, it will be absolutely safe in the end!"

"Those people are one of my trump cards!"

"Let's leave General Wei with a choice. If he dares to join the barbarians, countless people will completely break off their relationship with him!"

"When the relationship between the two sides becomes strained, the people I arranged earlier will definitely take advantage of the chaos and capture that Wei guy, tie him up with ropes, and bring him to you and me!"

Seeing Song Yuan's confident look, Wei Da and Murong Lie beside him were in deep thought, with their brows furrowed like a mountain.

It is obvious that Song Yuan made such arrangements now before General Wei rebelled, which means that Song Yuan had been secretly planning as early as when the conflict broke out. Does he really want to seize power?

With this thought in mind, the two looked at Song Yuan with a deeper look in their eyes.

Sensing their thoughts, Song Yuan curled his lips lightly: "You two, at this juncture, I advise you not to think too much. Thinking too deeply about some things will not do us any good. You just need to know one thing!"

"If I really wanted to rebel, you two would never be alive today. Back in Sanbian City, the first thing I did was to take your lives!"

The suspicion between the two made Song Yuan unable to help but speak up and enlighten them.

These two people are just too sensitive and take loyalty to the emperor too seriously.

But he never thought that if he really had the intention of rebelling, how could he be having such a pleasant conversation now?

I'm afraid they would have been sacrificed long ago and would never have been allowed to survive until now.

Seeing that the two were still entangled, Song Yuan simply laid his cards on the table, raised his eyebrows and spoke with a hint of mystery.

"To be honest, there are some secrets you don't know yet. Remember the battle in the Land of Divine Punishment? When I reported it, I said that 40,000 barbarians were killed or wounded, and my own troops also suffered heavy losses!"

"But in fact, I can tell you clearly now that I didn't lose a single soul in that battle. Now, those who should have died have been placed in the soldier cave by me. This is my trump card!"

"Your Highness, what did you say?"

Hearing this, Murong Lie could no longer control his excitement and couldn't help but exclaim.

How could this happen?

Song Yuan originally used the weak to defeat the strong. In this context, how did he do it without losing a single person?

Having said that, Song Yuan felt that it was equivalent to completely understanding the current situation, and he did not hide anything.

In front of Murong Lie and Wei Da, he directly told them the whole story.

However, Song Yuan did not tell the truth about the research and development of gunpowder and its killer function.

After all, this thing is one of his foundations.

Once outsiders find out, they will definitely be on guard, and it will be difficult to plot against us again!

Wei Dagen and Murong Lie listened to Song Yuan's narration of the whole incident with their eyes wide open. It was not until this moment that they finally realized how naive and ignorant they were.

It turns out that Song Yuan had already thought about the subsequent battle in the Land of Divine Punishment after the first great victory!

If Song Yuan had not played the long game before, there would have been no process of luring people into the trap later.

But how delicate should a person's mind be?

Only when you take a step forward can you think of the consequences a hundred steps later?

Realizing this, Wei Da and Murong Lie felt their breath catch.

Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Song Yuan before!

Especially as a general, Murong Lie felt inferior when compared with the two.

It turns out that all his leadership experience over the years was accumulated on the dog in the end!

Using the weak against the strong, not only did they achieve a great victory, they almost wiped out the opponent!

More importantly, the three words "zero casualties" are really too shocking!

Even though his numbers far outnumbered the enemy, Murong Lie had no confidence in achieving such results.

If such an achievement were to be spread out, Song Yuan would probably transform himself into a famous general praised by the world!

Just as the two were lost in thought, Song Yuan narrowed his eyes and spoke again to remind them.

"I'm taking the time to tell you all this, not to show off or to let you know how great I am!"

"I just want to tell you that no matter what time it is, the only thing I care about most is the losses of my men!"

"In my opinion, every soldier and every life is something I must value, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything to cause infighting!"

"I care about the death of my men, and I care about the death of every Qin soldier, so unless it's absolutely necessary, I firmly oppose attacking my own people!"

Hearing Song Yuan's heartfelt words, Wei Da and Murong Lie couldn't help but look at each other and fell into deep thought.

Especially since Wei Da had been following Song Yuan all the way, he had seen all the way that Song Yuan was considerate of his subordinates!

Even in the territory of the barbarians, Song Yuan was unwilling to give up the wounded easily. Now that he has returned to the Qin Dynasty, he naturally does not want to increase the casualties!

The two of them were absolutely sure of this!

In addition, Song Yuan’s previous deeds are enough to prove his leadership ability. He has won great victories time and time again. If he were not an ordinary person, how could he have achieved such results?

As one of the best young generals, he knew that Song Yuan’s arrangements should be able to achieve the desired results!

"Your Highness has said so much, I might as well ask you something."

Murong Lie suddenly raised his head, looked at Song Yuan and whispered, "You split up your forces earlier and were unwilling to follow me in the breakout. Did you have any grudges in your heart, afraid that we would destroy the bridge after crossing it?"

This time, Song Yuan didn't hide anything and nodded immediately: "To be honest, in my opinion, the most unreliable thing is human nature!"

"I'm not doubting you, I'm doubting everyone. I'm afraid that if I break through, your hearts will change. Then, you might try to capture me. That would be more trouble than you gain!"
