Liu Yu looked at Murong Lan with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Are you telling the truth, Murong Lan? When did you become such a thinker? In my heart, you have always been a cold-blooded and rational killer.
Serving the world of your Murong family, wouldn’t it take mountains of corpses and seas of blood to rebuild your country?”
Murong Lan's eyes sparkled with tears. She turned her head, not wanting Liu Yu to see her appearance: "But I am a woman after all. Along the way, I have seen too many tragic scenes after the war. Even after birth,
Babies who were only a few months old died on the roadside, with no one paying attention, not even anyone to bury them. This is war and the destruction of humanity, so my ideas have been shaken. I don’t know the circumstances of our Murong family’s establishment of Dayan.
, I just heard my fathers and grandfathers say it. They were also talking about the great achievements of our ancestors, but behind these great achievements, I am afraid that there are also the corpses of countless people like this."
Liu Yu listened to Murong Lan's words silently. From her expression and the sheets she was clutching tightly, he could feel that Murong Lan was speaking from her heart this time and was definitely not pretentious.
Murong Lan continued: "Actually, I am not determined to conquer the world and restore Dayan like my elder brother. The reason why I am willing to work for Dayan is not only because I am a woman of the Murong family, but also because I am a woman of the Murong family.
Yes, almost since I was born and can remember, what I have seen is our Murong clan. The country has been destroyed and the family has been destroyed. The clan members have been scattered, bullied and humiliated. I have been taught this kind of hatred between the country and the family since I was a child. What I have seen
It was also the nephews and nieces who were played by Fu Jian, and even my sister-in-law could not escape this disaster. If I were not the posthumous daughter of my father and was secretly adopted by my elder brother since I was a child, I am afraid that I would not be able to escape their fate.
Therefore, I have to take revenge and take revenge for our Murong family. As for whether I want to revive Dayan, to be honest, I really haven’t thought about it too seriously."
Liu Yu murmured: "It turns out that you just want revenge, not restoration of the country. No wonder you are so persistent in killing Fu Jian. No wonder your elder brother lets you do these things. He just sees through your mind.
."
Murong Lan's voice was choked up: "But, but now I slowly discovered that the price of this revenge is fresh, thousands of lives. Murong Chong has been tortured and twisted by the flame of revenge. In troubled times,
If you want to attack the city and seize territory, you have to stimulate the beastly nature of the soldiers. Isn't this beastly nature what we have seen all the way? Pengcheng, Xuyi, Xingyang, Shaanxian! The cities are piled with corpses.
Heads were inserted all over the place, baby corpses were hanging on the treetops, and wild dogs and hyenas were eating abandoned corpses exposed in the wild. These horrific scenes appeared again and again in my dreams!"
"Now, it's finally Chang'an's turn. I have seen nearly a million living beings here with my own eyes. I have come here with ordinary people like Pirik and Ali Tai. I can't imagine that one day they will starve to death or after the city is broken.
, the scene of being massacred by the Xiyan army, at least, I don’t want to see it again. Liu Yu, this is what I think now, no matter how much I hated Fu Jian before, but now, only he can protect these people
, so that they can survive, while Murong Chong outside the city will only massacre and plunder the city. Even if they are my tribe, I don’t want them to enter Chang’an!”
Liu Yu sighed: "This is the real you. There is still kindness in your heart, which is different from your good nephews. Yes, I stayed to guard the city, just because I don't want to see the cities that were massacred.
The tragic scene is happening again here. This is Chang'an, the old capital of our Han people for thousands of years. It should not have experienced such a tragedy. I will hold on to this city until our army of the Jin Dynasty regains it."
Murong Lan shook his head: "What if the Jin army doesn't come? Liu Yu, I know you don't like to hear this, so I haven't said it all this time. All Xie An wants is a jade seal, so that he can keep Xie An."
If he was really interested in the Northern Expedition, he should have taken you as his general and prepared to send troops. You want to protect the people of Chang'an, but he doesn't care about the life and death of these millions of creatures. Even if it is the Jin Dynasty's own city,
For example, in the cities of Huaibei, Pengcheng, and Shouchun, he abandoned them as soon as he said so. How could he care about the lives of his people? These powerful ministers who can control the world have cold and hard hearts. They will never come here for the life and death of the people.
I missed important national affairs and family power."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he said calmly: "What my husband thinks and does is his business, but I am here now and I only act according to my own conscience. If the army doesn't come for a day, I will
Just stay here for one day, that’s all.”
Murong Lan's pale and beautiful face frowned slightly: "Drink this bowl of porridge. At least, it will give you the strength to defend the city. Now I am useless to you and to the city."
People don’t need these things.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "You are a wounded soldier. You can help me by recovering from your injuries as soon as possible. Yang Ding will attack Yanying today. If he can win, he will bring back some food and baggage. You don't have to worry too much about me not having anything to eat."
Murong Lan's red lips slightly opened: "I'm afraid you don't understand the way we Xianbei people fight. Unlike you Han people, who put food, grass and supplies in the camp. What we eat is cattle and sheep. We usually work as tribes and nomadic people everywhere.
The tribesmen, in such troubled times, also moved to the ground as a whole, focusing together. The soldiers marched out one or two hundred miles in front, while the old and weak women and children took their cattle and sheep to graze in the safe area hundreds of miles behind, and sentries and cavalry were sent out in all directions.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, if a large group of enemy troops approaches the rear camp, they will know it clearly. Therefore, even if Yang Ding can defeat Chong'er several times and attack several of his camps, he cannot rely on this method to provide food and supplies.
To solve it. Unless he can completely defeat the Xiyan army besieging the city and get in touch with other states and counties in Guanzhong."
Liu Yu's expression became solemn: "Yes, now the Yan army has gained an advantage on the battlefield. It will be very difficult for the Qin army to break the blockade of the siege. Even if they can break through a few camps, they will suffer heavy losses and have elite soldiers."
The number is decreasing rapidly, and most of the 70,000 horses that Fu Hui brought back from Luoyang have been lost. If we continue to fight like this for ten days and a half, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to attack again."
"As for the other prefectures and counties in Guanzhong, they also have too much time to take care of themselves. Xiyan now has hundreds of thousands of people, and the consumption of food and grass is also very huge. It is not enough to rely on his own cattle and sheep. Now Murong Chong used a large camp to besiege Chang'an and divided his troops to plunder.
In the past, many people from all over Guanzhong would come to Chang'an every day, but now there are very few. It would be good to have dozens of people coming a day, and they also come to ask for help!"
