Murong Lan's eyes were sparkling with tears. Her bare fingers pointed to the corpses of other Yan soldiers, her voice full of sadness: "This is Ahur, the blacksmith. He made my pair of snowflake iron knives."
That's Suharik, he's only seventeen years old, still a child. Over there is..."
She pointed at the bloody corpses of Yan Jun, and her names were revealed between her red lips. The family background, identity, and experiences of these people were all told in detail. Liu Yu felt sad in his heart.
Like their brothers, these Yan soldiers are also ordinary people with families and parents. The war turned these ordinary people into soldiers of the two armies fighting in cold blood. In this sense, whether they are these Xianbei soldiers,
Or his brothers from the Beifu Army, they are all innocent victims.
Liu Yu was silent for a long time. Murong Lan looked at him, her voice full of resentment: "What do you want me to do? On one side are my brothers for several years, and on the other side are the tribesmen I have been with since childhood. Do you think you are fighting here, I feel in my heart
Are you feeling good? Liu Yu, let’s get to the bottom of it. This time it was your Jin State who broke the agreement back then and took the initiative to send troops to Hebei to seize our Yan State’s territory. When it comes to aggression, it is your Jin Army who is the aggressor. We rose up to defend ourselves. Is it still wrong?
Is it done?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The land of Hebei has been the place of our Han dynasty in the Central Plains since ancient times. You, the Murong family, received great favor from me during the Jin Dynasty and all previous dynasties. From a small tribe in Liaodong to a
You have created a powerful Khanate, but this is not the reason why you can live here in our Jin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. We want to take back the homeland of our ancestors for thousands of years, and there is nothing wrong with it!"
Murong Lan sneered and said: "Your homeland? The land of Yanzhao in Hebei has been the territory of our Hu people since the Spring and Autumn Period. Does Zhongshan belong to you Han people? When you are strong, you can use force to expel us. Later, there was civil strife in Jin.
We took the opportunity to take back the land of our ancestors, so we should give it back like this? Let alone ancient times, let’s talk about ancient times. The land in the south of the Yangtze River where you are now belongs to the Wuyue barbarians. When did it become your Jin people?
Liu Yu, I thought you were a well-known hero, but I didn't expect you to be as hypocritical as those rotten scholars. Just say that the troops are strong and the horses are strong, and that's it. Why are you talking about so many useless things?"
Liu Yu laughed: "Yes, you are right, just say that the world is strong with strong soldiers and horses. Anyway, you barbarians only recognize this. If you want the land of Hebei, we also want it, so let's compare who is more qualified.
Yes. We lost this time, but next time, and the next time we will come back, and as long as we Han people are alive, we will never give up this land of our ancestors to others!"
Murong Lan curled her lips in disdain: "I don't think you should think about the Northern Expedition now. If you lose, the Xie family behind you will soon fall. The Jin Kingdom will soon fall into division and internal strife. How can there be any
Do you have enough energy to continue the Northern Expedition? People like Huan Xuan want to seize power, not the Northern Expedition. You know this better than anyone. How many people like you can have who are dedicated to the country?"
Liu Yu felt sad for a while. Murong Lan told him what was on his mind. He was cruel and said in a deep voice: "We in Jin Dynasty do have our own troubles, but your Yan country has less troubles? What kind of thing is Murong Bao? We
We all know that your eldest brother is already nearly sixty years old, how long can he last? An incompetent prince, surrounded by wolves, I am afraid that there will be division and internal strife in your Yan country."
Murong Lan's expression changed and she sighed softly: "Okay, Liu Yu, it won't help if we bicker here. If I really regard you as an enemy, how can I see you again now that I have seen through your intentions?"
I'm talking so much nonsense to you. I really don't want you to do any harm. I want to keep you useful and don't worry about running out of firewood. I don't ask you to surrender to me, Dayan, but at least you don't do stupid things. Assassinating my eldest brother is not good for you.
There is no benefit to the Jin State. Even if there is civil strife here, Huan Xuan will not make an expedition to the north. People like him will only try their best to seize power in the next few years."
Liu Yu said sternly: "Even if it is to avenge my thousands of brothers, I will not give up the opportunity to kill your eldest brother. You can either kill me now and stop me, or just leave this matter alone!"
Murong Lan shook his head: "You can't kill him. Besides, the Liu Yu I know is an upright hero. Even if you think your elder brother has a grudge against you, you should resolve it on the battlefield. With this assassination method,
What kind of hero is this?"
Liu Yu was speechless for a moment. Indeed, as a soldier, defeating powerful enemies on the battlefield is the best way. Even if there is an honest reason for assassination, it is not the right path after all. He had no intention of surviving today.
It was his wish to die together with Murong Chui and preserve the hope of a final counterattack for Xie Xuan, but after hearing Murong Lan's analysis, his hopes were suddenly shattered and all his thoughts became empty.
Murong Lan saw Liu Yu's eyes full of confusion, sighed, took a step forward, and said: "If you want revenge, you must live first. Liu Yu, don't resist needlessly. Brother also knows that you can't do it now."
I will surrender, but you can stay here, and I promise that I will help you escape as long as there is a chance."
Liu Yu said coldly: "I came here to win, not to escape. Murong Lan, I don't need your kindness. If you really want to help me, just get out of the way, and I won't let you help."
I'll kill your eldest brother and let us decide our own fate."
Murong Lan sighed: "You can't kill my elder brother. He has thousands of troops. It's not your courage that can solve it. Even if you want to kill him for revenge, you have to leave him useful instead of being meaningless today.
Give it away. My eldest brother suffered much more humiliation and tragedy in life than you did, but didn't he endure it for many years and finally establish his hegemony? You think of yourself as a hero all day long, why can't you just tolerate it for a while? Remember when you and Mr. Diao
The deep hatred between brothers, the kind of hatred that hurts the younger brother and humiliates the mother, can you put aside temporarily under Xie Xuan's advice, why can't you think about it today?"
The pupils in Liu Yu's eyes shrank suddenly. Yes, when he mentioned his mother and brothers, his heart began to soften. The desire to die that he had just been full of was gradually retreating. His family was still in Jin State. If he really
Once he leaves and never comes back, if people like Huan Xuan accuse him of treason, it is self-evident what will happen to his family. Thinking of this, Liu Yu's hands began to tremble slightly.
Murong Lan took another step forward, put her bare hand on the back of Liu Yu's hand holding the knife, and said softly: "Listen to me once, and you will have a chance to see your family again in the future. Besides, she is waiting for you."
