Half an hour later, North City, city head.
The stone-throwing attack by the Qin army had stopped half an hour ago when Liu Yu went to the Governor's Mansion. The Qin army outside the city had withdrawn its troops and returned to the camp. Many sergeants and civilians were lowered on the city wall to collect those who died in the Qin army.
The armor and weapons on his body would be used to patch up a few Qin soldiers who were seriously injured but not dead from time to time, so as to send them back to the west as soon as possible.
The stripped corpses were piled together, forming more than a dozen large piles, which saved the trouble of decapitation and inspection. Several military recorders were quickly counting the number of enemies killed. Several piles of corpses had been
It was poured with kerosene and started to burn.
The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of burnt corpses. The ashes were flying under the city with the north wind, which made many soldiers on duty at the city head sick. These warriors who had fought bloody battles just now were
Amidst this pungent smell, the color is not unavoidable.
On a secluded city tower, Liu Yu supported the battlements with both hands and leaned against the crenellations of the parapet. He looked thoughtfully outside the city and murmured: "Thousands of people's lives are lost just like mowing grass."
Yes, I only felt happy when I killed him, but the post-war treatment really left me speechless."
Murong Nan stood aside expressionlessly, with his arms folded. The north wind mixed with ashes blew on his face. His nose twitched, his brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head: "Liu Yu, what do you think?
Yes, do we have to burn the corpse at this time? How can people eat the celebration wine?"
As he said that, he turned around and looked inside the city wall. There were a dozen or so people gathering together, the sergeants who were drinking and eating meat. They pursed their lips and said, "You see, everyone doesn't like eating meat anymore."
Liu Yu said coldly: "If the corpse is not disposed of in time, an epidemic will occur. We have a small population. If the epidemic spreads, the city will collapse. Although it is winter and it is snowing, it is still
Don't be careless. The enemy has withdrawn their troops and returned to their camp. We can just burn these corpses. Next time they attack again, they will probably feel afraid when they see these piles of burned corpses."
Murong Nan sighed: "Then you might as well cut off the heads of these enemy soldiers and pile them up two miles away from the city. That will probably lower morale."
Liu Yu turned to look at Murong Nan: "Do you, Murong Xianbei, all fight like this?"
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Is this an invention of you Han people? Since the Spring and Autumn Period, when wars between your vassal states have taken place, you have been accustomed to crowding the capital to intimidate the enemy and show off your martial arts. As for us, we usually control the killings and ignore the burials.
, I have never done anything like this before.”
Liu Yu sighed: "Even enemies have dignity, and even corpses should not be treated so cruelly. We Han people are benevolent and righteous. Even King Chuzhuang, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, was firmly opposed to this cruel Jingguan.
Therefore, leaving his name in history is more impressive than any war he has won. I will never do this kind of thing in my life."
Murong Nan smiled and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, I know that you, Liu Yu, are chivalrous and would not do such a thing. It was just a joke. To be honest, you can deal with the enemy like this."
The corpses can be regarded as giving them a dignified ending. When the north was in chaos and the various tribes were fighting, it was fashionable to decorate the city walls with human heads. I don’t know what kind of terrible hell it was. I hope that days like this,
I don’t want to see you again in this life.”
Liu Yu nodded and straightened up: "Yes, when our Jin Dynasty regains its homeland, I hope the world will be peaceful forever. But before that, we still have to experience war and bloodshed. Sometimes I also think about it, like us
Is it really okay to cooperate, provoke a war, and let the people of the world who are already relatively stable suffer war disasters again?"
Murong Nan laughed: "Liu Yu, you are really overthinking. It was not us who started the war, but Fu Jian. If he has no ambitions, then no matter how my lord plots, he will not go south."
.Moreover, don’t you Jin people dream all day about regaining your lost territory? Therefore, this war is not based on the will of us people. It is better to fight early than to fight late, and it is better to suffer long-term pain than short-term pain.”
As Murong Nan spoke, his voice gradually became lower and his mood became a little depressed. The ashes fluttered all over his face. He turned around and wiped the ashes from his face. Liu Yu found that it seemed that
There were some crystal tears in his eyes, and he wiped them away gently with the action of wiping the ashes.
Liu Yu was surprised: "Are you crying?"
Murong Nan instinctively raised his head: "How is it possible, I..." At this point, Liu Yu found that his eyes were red and filled with tears, and Murong Nan turned his head away.
, sighed: "Yes, I am a little sad, Liu Yu, do you think I am particularly weak and not manly enough?"
Liu Yu was silent for a long time, and then gently shook his head: "No, you have a kind heart. Even if the enemy's soldiers died in battle, you will grieve for them. Brother Murong, I like you like this."
.”
Murong Nan shook his head gently and closed his eyes: "These Qin soldiers who died in the battle also had their families, wives and children. I can imagine that their families, wives, children and children are now fighting for their husbands.
, Son, my father is praying for the war. When these people know the news that their family members died in the war, they don’t know how sad and sad they will be. I wonder if the souls of these war dead will return before reincarnation.
My hometown is a dream for my family, so that they can live well and live strong."
Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: "Reincarnation, what is that?"
Murong Nan opened his eyes, looked at Liu Yu, and forced out a smile: "I forgot that Buddhism has not yet become popular here in Jin State. Although there are some Buddhist temples, it is only the upper class nobles and children of aristocratic families who follow
I have contact with these ascetics, just like you, Liu Yu, who has probably never entered a Buddhist temple."
Liu Yu nodded: "The Buddhism you are talking about is the religion that requires you to shave your head and burn a few scars on your head with sandalwood?"
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Yes, that's the one. Have you seen these monks too?"
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "There were Buddhists like you mentioned who came to Jingkou to open a monastery and preached Buddhism, but they said a lot of things they didn't understand, and no one believed them, and they left in the end. I know this
It is more popular in your north and is the religion of your barbarian people."
Murong Nan shook his head: "No, this Buddhism is not the religion of our Xianbei people. We believe in the original Hutian religion and the Kunlun God. Later, when we came into contact with your Han culture, we changed to Confucianism. This Buddhism originated in Tianzhu
, is a country thousands of miles southwest of your Yizhou. Everyone there believes in Buddhism, which is the true origin of Buddhism."
