Wu Fangzheng and the old, weak, sick and disabled were about to turn around and walk towards the city. Liu Yu suddenly said: "Wait a moment. Everyone, please find some cloth to cover your mouth and nose. Also, please excuse me.
Make several pyres and light fires. If the corpse is already rotten, it is best to burn it and then bury it deeply."
Wu Fangzheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Yu: "Lord Abbas, why is this?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "If the corpses cannot be put to rest, God will be angry and send down the God of Plague on these corpses to punish the living people. When we march to fight, the reason why we clean the battlefield and cover up the corpses is to prevent the God of Plague from wreaking havoc."
.These corpses have been rotting here for more than a month. It is best to burn them directly and then bury them deeply. If you don't want the plague to get you, then you'd better do as I say."
The faces of Wu Fangzheng and others changed greatly, and they nodded in agreement. Many people even pulled off a corner of their ragged clothes and covered their mouths and noses. Wang Rui looked at Liu Yu and said, "Abbas
Sir, let's go to the forest on one side to find branches and keep them to light a fire."
Liu Yu nodded: "Also, gather all the food that can be found in the city. After burying these corpses, we will discuss where to go and how to go."
An hour later, Liu Yu wiped the big beads of sweat on his forehead, stood on the ground with a shovel, and looked at the people of Xingyang who were filling the ditch for the city a few dozen steps away. The fire on one side had already burned down.
Gradually it began to extinguish, and the ashes floated everywhere along with the strong wind, mixing with the dust. Many people who had just buried their relatives and friends were kneeling on the ground, facing the newly filled city moat ditch, shouting.
Weeping loudly, brothers Wang Rui and Liu Zhong also felt the same way. They followed them and shouted to the sky and the earth. Although there were only less than a hundred people, the sad cries were carried by the wind in the wilderness, like the wailing of thousands of troops.
Murong Lan stood silently beside Liu Yu and sighed softly: "War is always so cruel. The most miserable ones are these people. Before we came, they didn't even dare to come out to collect the corpses. Today we have
Now, they can finally bury these dead folks. They are crying so sadly because they probably know that they will not return to this city that has caused them such a catastrophe."
Liu Yu nodded calmly: "Since the Yongjia Rebellion, there has been no peace in the world. The king's flag has been changed on the city wall, and the north has been in constant war and changing overlords. It is only these people who suffer. Therefore, the only way is to end the war as soon as possible.
, in order to restore peace to the world. Murong Lan, I hope our trip will go smoothly, and that the Jin Dynasty will regain peace in these places in the future."
Murong Lan curled her lips: "I hope so. But now the question is, you want them to go back to Pengcheng, but can they make it this two thousand miles? We have encountered many bandits along the way.
Can these old, weak, sick and disabled people survive to Pengcheng relying only on the Wang brothers?"
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled: "I was also thinking about this issue when I was working just now. These people were weak when the war was in turmoil. They were slaughtered like lambs. If they stayed, they were waiting to die. If they were forced to go on the road, I would be afraid that they would be killed.
They will die faster. Maybe we should escort them back to Pengcheng and let them get to a safe place."
Murong Lan's expression changed: "Are you crazy? Are you going to take them back to Pengcheng again? Aren't you going to Chang'an? This trip is two to three thousand miles away. I'm afraid that when you get to Pengcheng, Chang'an will be destroyed by Murong Chong."
It’s captured.”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "No, I can't just watch these people die. Murong Lan, you can go to Chang'an to seize the jade seal first. I will quickly go to Chang'an to find you after I'm done."
Murong Lan shook his head: "If I can get the jade seal by myself, then there is no need to go to Jin to find you for help? Liu Yu, don't talk nonsense. If we do this, we will do our best to be benevolent and righteous."
Now, we can’t let them ruin our business.”
Liu Yu looked at the people of Xingyang who were still crying in the distance and raised his eyebrows: "By the way, where are the Huan's troops now? If it's a bit too far to go back to Pengcheng, maybe, maybe we can find a way to march southwest.
Join Huan's army and hand over these people to them, and then we can be on our way."
Murong Lan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid, the Huan family army doesn't know your and my mission this time. If we are captured, all the plans will not be realized. Besides, Huan Xuan is afraid
I have spoken ill of you all the time. If you really reveal your identity, Huan Chong’s two sons will not let you go. If you can’t be used by them, it’s better to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid becoming a future trouble for yourself.”
Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: "How is it possible? After all, the Huan family is also an important minister of the Jin Dynasty. How can they kill the soldiers of the imperial court for no reason?"
Murong Lan sneered and said: "If you look at how many people like Quan Yi are deliberately trying to get rid of my eldest brother, you will know that this kind of internal battle is far more intense than the external one. The Huan family in Jingzhou is already the strongest in military strength.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was precisely because of this that Huan Wen dared to usurp things. Now Xie Xuan has created the Beifu Army, which shocked the world in one battle. The strongest in the south has changed from the Huan Family Army in Jingzhou to the Beifu Army. You are the Beifu Army again.
If the famous heroes of the army cannot be used by them, they must find an excuse to get rid of them early. Now that the war is in chaos, you have been sent to Chang'an with a secret order. The Huan family can accuse you of deserting and have you executed.
Kill. If you don’t expose your true identity, you can be killed as a spy just by looking at the faces of two barbarians like us."
Liu Yu's brows gradually wrinkled. He thought carefully about Murong Lan's words and judged the pros and cons. Murong Lan looked at Liu Yu and sighed: "Liu Yu, I know you have a good heart and can't bear to see the people suffer."
, but there are too many such poor people along the way. If you save one and every place you see, then we don't have to rush to Chang'an. Not to mention the Huan family's Northern Expedition.
, also regarded the people of the Central Plains as bandits, and did many things of looting, burning and killing. If you really want to pity these people, there is only one way, which is to take them to Luoyang and hand them over to Fu Hui. Maybe this is the only feasible way for them
choose."
Liu Yu said flatly: "No, they are Han people. I can't hand them over to the Hulu again. Murong Lan, don't worry, we will definitely find a way."
While he was talking, Wang Rui suddenly shouted: "Oh no, two heroes, there is a cavalry attack!"
