Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 418 Meeting the Prince

"What do we want to do? Do we still have the choice now? Do you know how many casualties that Wei guy brought to the entire Zhenbei Army this time?"

"Do you know what my brothers and I felt when we saw this letter while trapped in Sanbian City?"

"We fought for the Empire, we trusted our comrades, and in the end, the very people we trusted the most stabbed us in the back!"

When Murong Lie finished speaking, a strong sense of grief and anger suddenly burst out from his eyes.

In a state of excitement, he took three or two steps forward and grabbed Dugu Xin by the collar.

"Look at the scar on my arm. It was left on the battlefield! However, it wasn't because of the enemy's bravery, but because of the betrayal of my own people!"

"I was almost trapped in Sanbian City. I almost couldn't come back. So many brothers, so many lives, but in the end I still stayed there!"

"You're a soldier too. I'm afraid there are many comrades in there who share the same food and shelter with you. Don't you think about them?"

"What do we want to do? I just want to seek justice for those who died! I just want to ask Wei in person why he did this."

Facing Murong Lie's sad and angry eyes, Dugu Xin couldn't help but lower his head for a moment.

There was a hint of evasion in his eyes. How could he not understand some things?

There are no fools in the army, especially those at Murong Lie's level. If there was nothing strange about this, how could Song Yuan gain everyone's recognition?

That's 40,000 troops. If they hadn't nearly lost their lives and been schemed against by that Wei guy, how could they have supported a prince so much?

Especially Murong Lie, the two have worked together for so many years, and Dugu Xin knows every bit of the other's character.

If General Wei had not done something to offend everyone, given Murong Lie's character, he might not have obeyed Song Yuan's orders even if he died.

After all, the other party's official position is already a deputy general in the Zhenbei Army.

Even if it was Song Yuan, what benefits could he promise to Murong Lie?

Why should he bribe this deputy general?

For a moment, facing Murong Lie's sharp gaze, Dugu Xin's face turned cold, and he finally realized the truth at this moment.

However, this truth is a bit too cruel.

It was so cruel that for a moment, he simply couldn't accept it!

"The only reason I came here today is for the stability of Zhenbei City. As I said before, Zhenbei City cannot be in chaos!"

Seeing that Dugu Xin's face was gloomy and the resistance in his pupils had mostly dissipated, Murong Lie struck while the iron was hot and continued to speak.

"We have all been on the frontier for many years and we all know how brutal the war is here. If the Northern Zhen Army were to fall into chaos, the entire frontier would be completely disrupted and the barbarians would simply take advantage of the situation and invade!"

"How many of those brothers will be killed or injured by then? And you will be the biggest sinner!"

"Also, don't forget that we lost those three border towns to us a few years ago. That day was the darkest hour in our hearts!"

"But now, we still have a chance to recapture those three border towns. Don't let your momentary lapse lead you to miss this opportunity. Think about it yourself. Will you regret it when the night comes?"

After hearing this description, Dugu Xin slowly raised his head and seemed to see the three border towns before his eyes.

I saw the shame of being forced to give up when the troops were at the gates of the city.

However, thinking of his current situation, Dugu Xin finally shook his head, with a hint of pity in his pupils.

"General Murong, don't forget that our families are all in the Imperial City. If we make a choice now, our families' lives might be in danger!"

"If this is the only thing you're worried about, I can tell you frankly that the prince has already thought of it for us!"

Sensing the fear in Dugu Xin's heart, Murong Lie smiled and turned back to glance at Song Yuan.

"You have seen the current situation. With the army's morale so high, Your Highness is now supported by all the people!"

"You are now insisting on going your own way, which is equivalent to going against everyone. The prince can guarantee the safety of his family, but you, you have to show your attitude!"

Can the prince really guarantee it?

Upon hearing Murong Lie's promise, Dugu Xin's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Looking up at the other person again, he finally understood why Murong Lie made such a choice.

Indeed, Murong Lie is also a person who cares about his relatives. If there was no promise from Song Yuan, if he could not convince him, why would he be standing beside Song Yuan now?

Murong Lie's current performance alone is enough to prove his worries. To that prince, it is simply not worth mentioning!

As for the military's morale, there is absolutely no problem with this statement.

It wasn't just the brothers in Sanbian City who had been through thick and thin with Song Yuan. Even the people in Zhenbei City had recognized his identity just a few moments after Song Yuan entered the city!

All these achievements were accumulated by Song Yuan through his hard work in battles!

In the eyes of everyone, Song Yuan is equivalent to an invincible god of war. Who would not want to follow such a general?

Song Yuan can not only guarantee the safety of his family, but also has the support of the people. Now that things have come to this, what is there for him to hesitate about?

Thinking of this, Dugu Xin shook his head with a gloomy look, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

The next second, he suddenly raised his head to face Song Yuan and knelt on the ground: "General Dugu Xin, respectfully welcomes the prince to Zhenbei City and command all the Zhenbei troops!"

"I hope that the prince can lead us to recapture the lost territory and enhance the majesty of the Great Qin!"

He was struggling internally to decide whether to surrender or not. As he made his choice, a smile appeared on Song Yuan's face.

At this point, Zhenbei City has been taken over by himself, and at least the entire border can be guaranteed to be safe!

Everyone around noticed Dugu Xin's actions and instantly became panicked.

However, a moment later, the people who had left before had gathered again. They imitated Dugu Xin, knelt on the ground in front of Song Yuan, and shouted loudly.

"Meet the prince!"

"Greetings, Commander!"

"I hope that the prince can lead us to recapture the lost territory and spread the might of the Great Qin!"

At this moment, countless voices gathered together and reached the sky.

It seemed as if the clouds were trembling because of it!

At this point, Song Yuan finally won the recognition of all the Zhenbei Army, and suddenly took over the position of General Wei.

He truly became the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army and took control of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses!
