With Huo Yu's help, Zhang Yiyang and Ning Shu quickly destroyed all the new weapons research and development workshops of Sima Dezheng. After all the production drawings were destroyed, Ning Shu took Huo Yu and rushed to Yanxi.
Ten days later, the Dragon City Army and the new army of the Western Qin Army were reorganized. Huo Yu and Ning Shu arrived at the army and were ready to march south to the imperial city.
It is said that someone in the palace of the imperial city has been secretly delivering messages to them. No one knows who that person is, but Yang Xi seems to feel something vaguely.
That day, she stepped onto the tall tower and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. It was originally a quiet and beautiful scenery, but the beautiful scenery was ruined by the refugees who swarmed in from nowhere.
The war has just begun, and there are already countless refugees who have returned home. If things continue like this, the people will not be able to survive.
"Why don't you let them enter the city?" She observed for a long time and found no qualified people among the refugees, so she said to the general guarding the city: "The people are sorry to let them in and distribute some food and clothing to them."
"Back to the princess," the general lowered his head and said, "Young Master has ordered that the city gate cannot be opened."
"Why"
"To prevent enemy troops from sneaking into the city disguised as refugees," Huo Yu, who had approached at some point, looked at the people below the city and said quietly.
"But I don't think they look like..."
"Soldiers never tire of deceit." He walked beside the wall and looked down at everything below the tower. "I heard that you once led a hundred thousand troops to annihilate three hundred thousand Wei troops."
Thinking of those things in the past and the devastation caused by that battle, she still felt lingering fear in her heart. The mountains and plains were filled with blood and mutilated bodies. Although they belonged to the enemy, they were still living human lives. Especially in that battle, she almost lost Sufu.
If I could, I would rather that nothing had happened
"Why is there a war?" Looking at the poor people in the city, I feel sad in my heart.
"Even if civilization is like the 21st century, wars are still happening. Even once a large-scale war is launched, more people will be harmed and the area will be harmed wider." Huo Yu's eyes followed her and fell on the refugee group. It’s not that he is cruel and can’t bear to die without saving anyone, but no one can afford to take this risk. In such troubled times, there are no dead warriors and killers. Once the enemy is allowed to sneak into the city, the only ones whose lives are in danger are our own.
"Inadequacy of people's hearts is the original source of war. If there were no emperors but laws, maybe there wouldn't be so many fights in the world." He looked up at the sky and said in a quiet voice: "In fact, no matter who is the emperor, as long as he is a good emperor..."
"Is Sima Dezheng a benevolent king?" She was very unfamiliar with everything about the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
He thought for a while and shook his head, "Not from my understanding of him."
Sima Dezheng is narrow-minded, cruel and unkind. If he were to rule the country of Yan, life would be ruined and the people would not be able to survive. He could be cruel to the people of his own country, let alone the subjects of the country of Yan who had become slaves to the subjugation of the country, let alone him. Over a period of time, I have learned a lot about his methods and ambition. "Sima Dewen is actually a good emperor with an open heart. It is a pity that his ambition has been controlled by Sima Dezheng like a puppet."
Yang Xi stopped talking
After thinking about it, he suddenly looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Do you still want to go back?"
She looked up at him and thought for a while before she understood what he meant by going back. She shook her head and smiled: "This is my home. I will be wherever my husband is, and I won't go anywhere."
In fact, you can imagine every minute and second when she returned to that era and she did not try to find ways to come back here. For her, this era is her world, and the people here are the biggest guardians of her life [
"Xie'er..."
"I have not forgotten my promise to you, but I think you must understand that even if I give you another three months or even three years, I will not fall in love with you. After all, I am not the Yang Xi who is with you. I really am not." I can't bear to watch it anymore. She turned around and walked toward the stone steps.
Huo Yu didn't say anything but just walked closely behind her. "What about Ye Che?"
Yang Xi was startled and looked back at him. Even he could see the entanglement between him and Ye Che... was it so obvious? "He's not..."
"But you care about him." He didn't let go of any look in her eyes.
"It's like you care about me." She shook her hands and suddenly smiled: "A person may like many people in his life, but he can only fall in love with too many people. Whether I am with Ye Che or you are with me, it is just for a moment. I am obsessed with you because I moved you. Why do you like me? Because I used to be Yang Xi. Even if you know that I am not the girl in your heart, you will still be obsessed with me. What will happen to you if she is here now?"
What would he do if she were here now?
He had never thought about this problem because she was the only one in front of him and he never had a choice.
A person may like many people in his life, but there are only a few people he can fall in love with in his life. He loves his Xi'er, but she is Xi'er but not the Xi'er he once loved... Even he said It’s not clear who he is loving at this moment
The reorganization of the New Army has come to a complete conclusion
That night Feng Ba received a letter from Feng Hong. The Longcheng army and Hu Xia's army had already marched towards the imperial city to march south. So the Western Qin and Longcheng armies stationed in Yanxi were all ready and marched south to the imperial city the next day.
Along the way, their unstoppable army with the God of War was enough to lead the Yan army to fear. Coupled with the mysterious and unpredictable Western Qin monarch, the two armies were connected in a line. The Yan army was simply vulnerable. Every time they arrived at a stop, the Yan army defending the city was defeated. There were even some The generals who were dissatisfied with the imperial city being garrisoned by the Eastern Jin army to control the government heard that the army led by the God of War had opened the city gates and raised the flag to surrender before the army arrived.
War is always cruel, no matter it is the defending party or the attacking party.
The battle becomes more intense as we get to the imperial city. Every battle is fought with life and blood. Every time I watch the army go to war, my heart is inexplicably clenched. Countless soldiers fall into a pool of blood. Countless wounded stand up again in a pool of blood. Picking up the weapons and continuing to fight, sometimes Yang Xi would wonder if it was pointless for them to fight all the way. Has anyone ever asked the soldiers about their true wishes? Are they really willing to join such a battle?
No one can give her the answer. She was born in the 21st century and cannot understand their so-called unwillingness to be a slave to the country. For her, as long as she can spend her life peacefully with the people she cares about, it is the greatest happiness.
She doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to understand what a subjugated slave is.
