As soon as these words came out, the whole hall reverberated, and it was buzzing in everyone's heart. Yes, only after fighting can you know that the enemy is strong and we are weak. It's just that this painful realization came too late.
But the price he has to pay is unbearable.
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth: "Princess Lan, it is meaningless to say this now. The battle has been fought. We have a lot of Jin army's blood on our hands. If we want to surrender, we may not end well. You also said that,
Liu Yu even wanted to avenge the people of Jin State who were killed. If we insist on selecting more than 2,000 people to die, then we have killed tens of thousands of their soldiers today and even the heads of all the soldiers in the city are not enough.
.”
After being silent for a while, there was another burst of echoes in the hall. After all, when faced with a life-and-death crisis, many people felt guilty. Under the dual effects of failure and guilt, even the voices they spoke were loud and strong.
The following is a lack of confidence that can be heard by the naked ear.
Murong Lan said calmly: "Liu Yu's condition is that he will only question the more than two thousand people who massacred civilians. In other words, he must give an explanation for this expedition. Maybe you don't know Liu Yu very well, but I respect my husband.
It was very clear to him that in the fighting on the battlefield, the soldiers were fighting for the country and acting according to orders. There was no talk of grudges and hatred. If they really wanted revenge, then as long as the culprit in black robes who started the war would be held responsible as a war criminal, the soldiers would
They don’t need to pay with their lives.”
At this point, she paused and raised her tone slightly: "But as civilians, Liu Yu is the primary target to protect. If he commits the crime of massacre against unarmed civilians, he will not go to the end of the world.
They will all seek revenge and settle scores with you, which is why he insists on us handing over more than 2,000 people this time."
Murong Zhen opened his mouth wide and shook his head in disbelief: "What is this idea? Let the strong warriors not take revenge, but protect these weak people? Has Liu Yu lost his head?"
Murong Lan sighed: "This is the difference in thinking between the Central Plains people and us grassland people. We value the young and the strong and despise the old and the weak. Everything tends to the strong. Even when sharing food, we let the strong choose first, so we
I think it is natural for the strong to get more benefits, because we need to rely on strong men to fight and plunder. This is the nature of our prairie people."
When Murong Lan said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "However, it is precisely because of this idea of only recognizing strength and not talking about benevolence and righteousness that we will have endless civil strife and massacre. Without restraint, we will bully others when we are strong and bully others when we are weak.
When people are killed, even brothers and sisters, parents and children, will turn against each other, fight for power, and kill each other. Isn't it that we have ended up like this because we have always believed in this? Now, we lose, lose
It’s so tragic. Facing the disaster of genocide, we must change our beliefs again!”
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Things haven't reached despair yet. Princess Lan, you said Liu Yu would let us go as long as we handed over more than two thousand people. Then we can temporarily surrender with them. Our
Our ancestors have done this kind of thing many times, making friends, guarding the city, and waiting for the opportunity."
At this point, he paused: "I just want to aggrieve you, Princess Lan, and marry Liu Yu, which is considered a marriage, and then you return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with him. Your skills and abilities are here. You can escape at any time if you want, Liu Yu
I’m sure I won’t stop you. When we raise the army and restore the country, you will still be our Princess Lan when you come back.”
Helan Lu said coldly: "King of Beihai, you made a good plan. You handed over more than two thousand people and sent Princess Lan as a hostage. In this way, there will be no one in the city to compete with you. You can board this place by yourself."
Your Majesty, if you think of reviving the country later with war, follow the example of Xi Yan. If you can win, you can separate the country here. If you can't, you can lead your tribe and people all the way back to your hometown with you. It won't be a loss at all."
Murong Zhen sneered and said: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. This method was successful when we were in Xiyan. If it weren't for Murong Chui stopping us in Guanzhong, we would have returned to our hometown in Liaodong long ago. If you think this is so capricious,
No, Princess Nalan also said that the Jin people have sent us hundreds of ships. We will take the ship back to Liaodong. It is better than being ruled by others here and separating our tribe and people.
It is better for people to slaughter."
He Lanlu sneered and said: "I would rather be slaughtered by Liu Yu than be taken back to Liaodong by you. Last time in Xiyan, Murong Chui spared your life, but now Beiyan in Liaodong is ruled by someone named Feng, not
You, the Murong clan, are afraid that if you return to Beiyan with this weak tribe that has defeated Yu Sheng, you will be killed by others."
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth: "Okay, if you, Mr. Helan, don't want to go back to your hometown, you can stay here. Anyway, your Helan tribe also fled and came here, so you are not the same as us. You and Liu Yu were together when we were in the grassland.
Friendship, Princess Lan will also speak to you now, so she may not be unable to survive."
"But Mr. Helan, I remind you to remember one thing. In today's battle, in addition to our armor and cavalry, it was your Helan tribe in Nancheng who killed the Jin army the most and suffered the most losses. You are really not afraid that Liu Yu will retaliate against you.
?What he promises now is all his own business. If Kaicheng surrenders and is slaughtered by others, do you think his soldiers can endure it?"
He Lanlu's eyes were shining and he did not refute. Obviously, Murong Zhen's words also touched his heart. Although he said that nothing would happen, in today's battle, he also knew that he had a deep blood feud with the Jin army.
If you really want to escape unscathed, you may not be sure of this.
Murong Lan said calmly: "King of Beihai, all this you think is just your own speculation. If Liu Yu is really such a villain who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge, then when you leave the city and go to sea, he will attack you on the road, isn't it?
Easier?"
Murong Zhen's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth: "We don't need to rush out of the city. We can continue to stay here, hand over two thousand people, give Liu Yu an explanation, and then wait for him to withdraw his troops, and we will act accordingly. Princess Lan
, do you really think that putting our lives completely in Liu Yu’s hands is our only option?”
Murong Lan sighed softly: "At this point, do you still think we have any other choice? Today's defeat is like this. The remaining soldiers and generals are defeated because the army has no fighting spirit. There are still more than 100,000 old, weak, women and children in the city who have no fighting ability. Today
Being able to retreat to the inner city is already a sign of mercy. If Liu Yu continues to be erratic and takes advantage of the victory to fully attack the city, do you think we can survive half a day?"
