Murong Lan's expression changed: "What do you mean, Fu Jian deliberately instigated Fu Hong to do this?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Fu Jian wants to maintain his image as a benevolent monarch and holy lord, so he cannot issue this order on his own. But in troubled times, the competition is not about whose morals are noble, but who has no bottom line and less humanity.
The Xiyan army killed the prisoners of war in order to shake the will of the soldiers and civilians defending the city, so that they would be afraid and surrender without a fight. However, through such behavior, Fu Jian made the people in the city have a flesh-eating and skin-hide feud with the Xiyan army. Then they
There is no way out, because they know that if the Xiyan army breaks the city, the fate they will face will be the same as the corpses of the Yan army today, and they will end up in other people's stomachs."
Murong Lan's scalp went numb when she heard it, and her beauty turned pale: "Oh my god, is this a war? How could there be such an evil method in this world?!"
Liu Yu sighed: "So since ancient times, Ci has not been a general. As a general, he must use all means to make the enemy afraid, so that his own soldiers are not as afraid of the enemy as they are of themselves. In terms of the art of war,
Let the fear of me be greater than the fear of the enemy. Only in this way can the whole army be commanded and there will be no disadvantage."
"During the Warring States Period, the State of Yan attacked Qi, and almost all the seventy-two cities in the State of Qi fell, leaving only two isolated cities of Jimo and Jucheng. It was a moment of complete despair. The king of Qi State was killed, the army was scattered, and there was no one outside.
Reinforcements, everyone thought that the surrender of these two isolated cities was just around the corner, but Tian Dan, the guard of Jimo, fabricated a lie, saying that after the Yan army broke the city, they massacred all the people in the city and beheaded them for military merit, temporarily deceiving Jimo.
drop."
"After that, Tian Dan deliberately spread rumors to the Yan army, saying that the Jimo people were most afraid of disturbing the souls of their ancestors, so the Yan army dug up the ancestral graves of the Jimo people outside the city. The Jimo people were so angry that their eyes bled, and they refused to surrender.
After two years of hard work, there was finally an example of the Fire Bull Formation's counterattack and comeback. Tian Dan relied on lies and used various means to turn the people of a city who were originally divided and shaken into a state of anger and fear.
A steel warrior who refuses to surrender in a bloody battle, this is what an excellent commander should do."
At this point, Liu Yu's lips curled up: "Fu Jian is also doing such a thing. Benevolence and righteousness can make the people come to him at this time, but the atrocities of the Yan army and the fear caused by the defeat on the battlefield will make
The people's hearts in the city are shaken. Even if hundreds of thousands of people are afraid of death, they can steal the city gate and the city will fall."
Murong Lan sighed: "It's like the surrender of the bandits and robbers. If you kill a passerby, you will join the gang and you will never be able to look back. But if the people in the city eat the corpses of Yan Jun, then there will be no end."
Is this the way to surrender?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, although it is cruel and inhumane, it is the most effective method after all. Just like the Yan army's trap and killing of prisoners of war, it also has no bottom line, but it can be the best way to spread an atmosphere of terror. I
As the saying goes, in troubled times, instead of counting on the beauty of human nature, it is better to take advantage of the darkness of human nature. If you only seek victory or defeat, this is often a more efficient way."
Murong Lan was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "We stay here because we want to protect the people in the city. If these people have been warped by war and turned into ferocious beasts like the Yan army outside the city, then we can still
What are we doing here? Liu Yu, I think it may be time for us to leave."
Liu Yu's eyes were bright: "Do you want to leave? Where to go?"
Murong Lan murmured: "My mission has not been completed yet. I have neither assassinated Cheng Fu Jian nor captured the jade seal. I just returned to my elder brother and cannot explain."
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "Actually, you can do something more useful, which is to persuade your eldest brother to take the army back to his hometown in Liaodong to avoid direct confrontation with our Jin Dynasty. I don't hope that one day, we will really become
enemy."
Murong Lan looked at Liu Yu, her eyes watery, and suddenly said: "But what about you, do you still want to stay and continue to protect these people who have turned into beasts?"
Liu Yu was speechless for a long time, raised his head to the sky, and sighed: "I am actually just like you now. I am very confused. It is a feeling of disillusionment. I originally thought that I was a hero who saves the world and protects the people, but I didn't expect it.
, maybe turning them into devils is a more effective way. Maybe the same is true for the ferocious Yan Jun outside the city. They were originally good people, but they also distorted their humanity in the war and turned into beasts like devils. If there were neither
Difference, then why should I stay here? Forget it, I will go to Fu Jian, ask him for the jade seal, and then return to Dajin. This tragic war in Guanzhong, no matter who wins or loses, has nothing to do with me."
Murong Lan sighed quietly: "Does that mean we have to separate? You go back to Dajin, and I'll go find my elder brother. If we meet again in the future, we might just be enemies on the battlefield, right?"
Liu Yu looked at Murong Lan and said seriously: "I hope this day will never come, so I want you to go back and persuade your elder brother not to be a direct enemy of our Jin Dynasty. The land of Hebei is our Chinese territory. We
Our ancestors have been there for thousands of years, and it is not the place that you Murong clan should belong to. If you really refuse to give up the land of Hebei and Guandong and insist on restoring the country, then I am afraid that our conflict will be inevitable.
It won’t do you any good.”
Murong Lan said coldly: "Back then, your Jin clan had internal strife, lost the world, and abandoned the people of Hebei. It was us, Dayan, who entered the Central Plains and saved these people. Now that you are relieved, take advantage of it.
With the collapse of the Qin State, you want to regain all the territory? Liu Yu, you are too selfish, this is also different from the previous agreement! Why do you ask us to go back to Liaodong? Why do you have to cross the Yellow River? "
Liu Yu sighed: "I said, Hebei has been our homeland for thousands of years. If you can withdraw from the customs, I will try my best to let Xie Xianggong persuade the Holy Emperor to canonize your Murong family as king, and you will be hereditary outside the customs."
Murong Lan shook his head and turned around: "Liu Yu, some things happened and you can't go back. From the day when our clan settled in the Central Plains and proclaimed ourselves emperor and established our country, we, the Murong clan, were destined to never go back to the past.
It is a small tribe belonging to the Jin State. The land of Hebei is a territory that our ancestors fought, shed blood and sacrificed for generations. As future generations, if we lose without fighting, we will not be able to see our ancestors in the ground even if we die.
Maybe, this is the fate of you and me. Liu Yu, you said before that if you meet me on the battlefield, don't show mercy and let each of you live your destiny. I hope you can do it next time we meet."
As she spoke, she suddenly jumped up, and the black figure rose into the sky like an elf. After a few ups and downs, it disappeared above the eaves of the city. Liu Yu was speechless for a long time, closed his eyes, and murmured: "And
Goodbye time?"
