Murong Lan sighed faintly: "Brother Lang, now that I am your wife, I will stand on your side, but you have to understand me. Although these Xiyan Xianbei deserve to die, they are my tribe after all. You
Today's first attack was to leave them all alone. Will you kill the rest of them in the future?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I'm not like them, bloodthirsty and murderous. In today's first battle, I must establish my authority. If they hadn't slaughtered two Wubao yesterday and left no one alive, I wouldn't have done it today."
It will burn the thorn forest and let them live, but look at the heads of the men on those carts and those poor women, shouldn't we seek justice and blood debt for them?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "How can we clearly explain the right and wrong of grudges in this world? We Xianbei people are not the only ones who massacre civilians and rob women and children. Don't you Han people do this? Even the Beifu Army does it.
You have experienced many such things, can we also kill you all?"
Liu Yu's brows furrowed slightly: "Ai dear, please don't fight between us anymore, okay? I'm going to make a big move today, originally to frighten the Xiyan army, so that they will consider the consequences when they massacre the villages in the Central Plains and destroy the docks in the future.
I don’t think what I did was wrong. If you think I killed too many of your people, then I have nothing to say. In the future, I will probably have more wars with your people. So, if you can’t have
With a correct mentality, it is better to return to Jingkou as soon as possible."
Murong Lan's expression changed: "Liu Yu, what do you mean, you want to drive me away?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "How can I be willing to leave you? You are the one who has a problem with me now. If you think like this all day long, it will shake other brothers' opinions of you."
Murong Lan was silent for a long time before sighing: "Okay, I just lost my temper a little bit. After all, it's a bit hard to accept that so many tribesmen were killed in a near-massacre method at once. Liu Yu, if you want to
To realize your ambition, I hope you can use your Han people's benevolent and righteous methods instead of cold-blooded killing. If so, you will be no different from other butchers and will not win the hearts of barbarians. In the past hundred years, you should have
A basic understanding is that given the current situation in the world, relying on massacre to resolve the conflict between Han and Hu is doomed to fail."
Liu Yu said seriously: "You are right. In the world today, there are hundreds of millions of barbarians in the Central Plains. It is impossible to drive them away by killing, and it is not in line with our principles of benevolence and righteousness in the Central Plains. Even on the battlefield,
If the enemy loses their ability to resist, I will protect their lives. If they are willing to surrender and become our subjects of the Jin Dynasty, I will not treat them as enemies. I can guarantee you this."
Murong Lan looked calmer and nodded: "I believe you. Too many people died here today. Let's go back early. You also saved the villagers here. I believe that Dong Chang will listen this time
As you say, I will organize people to bury the bodies here, and you can handle other matters by yourself."
As she spoke, she turned her head and left. The dozen or so guards in black on one side followed her like ghosts. Liu Yu sighed softly and walked towards Dongjiawu.
Tan Pingzhi came forward and said, "Brother Jinu, it seems that you and your sister-in-law are not happy."
Liu Yu nodded: "After all, many of her tribesmen have been killed this time. No one will be happy if they change her. Send an order not to take the heads of the enemy soldiers who died in the battle, but to give them a whole body. There will be no prisoners this time."
, just work harder, bury the enemy's corpses, and then return to the city."
Tan Pingzhi nodded and said solemnly: "Follow the order." He turned around and quickly went to greet his subordinates.
Dong Chang came over, escorted by a group of villagers, and clasped his fists at Liu Yu from afar, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu, today I have opened my eyes. They say that the Beifu Army's combat power is unparalleled in the world.
I still didn’t believe it, but now I won’t doubt it anymore! It’s all thanks to your protection today that we, Dongjiawu, were saved. On behalf of the thousands of people in Dongjiawu, I thank you.”
Liu Yu smiled and returned the greeting: "This is what we should do. Serving as soldiers and eating food is just to protect our country and defend our country. Dongjiawu is also the territory of our Song Dynasty, and you are also our citizens of the Jin Dynasty.
It is only natural that we fight for it.”
Dong Chang laughed twice. Obviously, he still didn't agree with Liu Yu's theory of family and country, but he changed the topic and said: "Since the Xiyan Army has been wiped out, we don't have to leave our hometown. I guess the thieves dare not
Next, Zhuangshi Liu has done great service for us, so I should unite with the men from all over the country to jointly express my gratitude. As for the food and salary that the army needs, I should also give it with both hands."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Master Dong, I'm afraid you haven't seen the situation clearly. What came today is just Xiyan's vanguard reconnaissance force, not the main force. Although we eliminated their two thousand men, their large group was very fast.
You will come again. Our army cannot protect you here. You can only save your lives by retreating to Luoyang with us."
Dong Shenhu shouted: "Father, we can't withdraw. This is our foundation. If we go to Luoyang, we will have to register households for the imperial court and all the people. From now on, we will never have such happy days again."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Dong Chang's eyes and he remained silent.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Master Dong, all the good things in the world cannot be given to one person. I usually don't want to fulfill my obligations, but when I am in trouble, I need someone to protect me. Is there such a good thing? According to your statement, we Jingkou people are not
Why come here all the way from the land of Jiangdong? There is a country and a country. How can there be a home without a country?"
Dong Shenhu gritted his teeth: "But the country has never protected us over the years. Isn't this how we got here?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's different now. In the past, those who came were just horse bandits and thieves, a small group of people. Now they are the Xiyan army. You have also seen how cruel their methods are. The two Wubao who are enemies of them, just
We killed them all. Except for the women who stayed to vent their lust, not a single man was left. If we leave now and the Xiyan army comes back, we have killed two thousand Yan soldiers here. How will they retaliate without me?
Just tell me."
Dong Chang said solemnly: "I can summon other nearby Wubao to protect ourselves together, and we may not lose."
Liu Yu sighed: "Master Dong, from yesterday to today, has a Wubao come to help? We are not stupid. We can usually help when we encounter horse thieves and robbers, but when we encounter a large army, who will come to die? You didn't go there yesterday either
Do you want to save those two Wubao? If you want to survive, you have to come back to Luoyang with us. Not only do you want to go back, but you also need to inform other nearby Wubao people to evacuate together. If the imperial court intends to expropriate your Ding and collect your taxes,
The collection has been collected long ago, why wait until now? The country is in trouble now, and everyone must face it. We must gather together to defend Luoyang before we can discuss future matters. Master Dong should understand this truth."
