Chapter 1286: Dong Chang is unwilling to abandon his family business
Murong Lan sighed faintly: "Brother Wolf, now that I am your wife, I will also stand on your side, but you have to understand me, these Xiyan Xianbei, although they are all damned, but after all, they are my clansmen, the first time you make a move today, let them not leave a piece of armor, will you kill all the remaining of them in the future?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I'm not a person like them, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, today's first battle, we must be powerful, if it wasn't for the fact that they slaughtered two dock forts yesterday and didn't leave them alive, I wouldn't burn the thorn forest today, and I would let them live, but, look at the heads of the men on those carts, and those poor women, shouldn't we ask for justice and blood debts for them?" ”
Murong Lan shook his head: "How can we say clearly whether the grievances in this world are right or wrong, we are not the only ones who slaughter civilians and kidnap women and children, don't you Han people do this?" Even the Beifu Army has done a lot of such things, can we also kill you all? ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed slightly: "Aide, don't fight between us anymore, okay?" Today, I made a heavy move, which was also to deter the Xiyan Army, so that when they destroyed the dock in the Central Plains Slaughter Village in the future, they would consider the consequences, and I don't think there was anything wrong with what I did. If you think that I have killed too many of your clansmen, then I have nothing to say, in the future, I am only afraid of more wars with your kindred, so if you can't have a correct mentality, it is better to go back to Jingkou as soon as possible. ”
Murong Lan's face changed: "Liu Yu, what do you mean by this, you want to drive me away?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "How can I be willing to leave you?" Now you have an opinion about me, and if you think like this all the time, it will shake the opinion of other brothers about you. ”
Murong Lan was silent for a long time before sighing: "Okay, I was a little out of shape just now, after all, it is a little unacceptable to see so many clansmen being solved in an almost massacre way at once." Liu Yu, if you want to realize your ambitions in the future, I hope you can use the benevolent and righteous ways of your Han people, instead of cold-blooded killing, if that is the case, you are no different from other butchers, and you will not win the hearts of Hu people. In the past 100 years, you should have a basic understanding that with the current situation in the world, relying on massacres to solve the Han-Hu contradiction is doomed to failure. ”
Liu Yu Zhengse said: "You are right, in the current world, there are millions of Hu people in the Central Plains, it is impossible to drive them away by killing, and it is not in line with the principle of benevolence and righteousness in our Central Plains, even if the enemy on the battlefield, if they lose the ability to resist, I will also save their lives, if they are willing to return to the people of our Great Jin, I will not regard them as enemies, this, I can assure you." ”
Murong Lan's expression was a little calm, and nodded: "I believe your words, there are too many people dead here today, let's go back early, you also saved the villagers here, presumably, that Dong Chang will listen to you this time, I will organize people to bury the corpses here, and you can solve other things yourself." ”
As she spoke, she turned her head and left straight, and more than a dozen black-clothed guards on the side followed her like ghosts, Liu Yu sighed softly and walked towards Dongjiawu.
Tan Pingzhi stepped forward: "Brother Jinu, it seems that you and your sister-in-law are a little unhappy." ”
Liu Yu nodded: "After all, she killed a lot of her clansmen this time, and no one will be happy if she changes it, give the order, don't take the head of the enemy army who died in battle, give them a whole corpse, this time there are no prisoners, just work hard, bury the enemy's corpse, and then go back to the city." ”
Tan Pingzhi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Obey." He turned around and quickly went to greet his subordinates.
Dong Chang, under the escort of a group of Zhuang Ding, walked over, and hugged his fists at Liu Yu from afar, smiling all over his face: "Liu Zhuangshi, today has opened the eyes of the old man, and it is said that the combat power of the Beifu Army is unparalleled in the world, I have never believed it, and now I will not doubt it anymore!" Today, thanks to your protection, our Dongjiawu can be preserved, and I thank you on behalf of the thousands of people in Quanwu. ”
Liu Yu returned the salute with a smile: "This is what we should do, serving as a soldier and eating food, isn't it just to protect the family and defend the country." This Dongjiawu is also the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and you are also our people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is a matter of course for us to fight for it. ”
Dong Changgan laughed twice, obviously, he still didn't agree with Liu Yu's theory of family and country, but he changed the topic and said: "Since the Xiyan Army has been wiped out, then we don't have to leave our hometown, presumably the thieves dare not come again, Liu Zhuangshi has made a great contribution for us, and the old man should unite the men of the nearby ten miles and eight towns to thank him jointly, as for the food and salary needed by the army, it should also be given with both hands." ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "Master Dong Zhuang, I'm afraid you haven't seen the situation clearly, what came today is only the vanguard reconnaissance force of Xiyan, not the main force, although we have eliminated their two thousand men and horses, but their brigade will come again soon, our army can't protect you here, only by retreating to Luoyang with us, can we save our lives." ”
Dong Shenhu shouted: "Dad, we can't withdraw, this is our foundation, if we go to Luoyang, we have to make up households for the imperial court, and there will be no more happy days like this in the future." ”
A trace of hesitation flashed in Dong Chang's eyes, and he was silent.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Dong Zhuangshi, this good thing in the world can't be taken up by one person, I usually don't want to fulfill my obligations, and I need someone to protect me when I am in trouble, is there such a good thing?" According to you, why did we Jingkou people come all the way from Jiangdong to come here? Home country country, no country how can there be home? ”
Dong Shenhu gritted his teeth: "But for so many years, the country has not protected us, haven't we come here like this?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's different now, what used to come was just horse bandits and thieves, a small group of people, but now it's the Xiyan army, you have also seen how cruel their methods are, the two dock forts that are enemies with them will be killed, except for the women who stayed to vent their desires, not a single man left, if we leave now, the Xiyan army will come back, and you will kill two thousand Yan troops here, how will they retaliate, I don't need to say it." ”
Dong Chang said in a deep voice: "I can gather other dock forts nearby to protect myself together, and I may not lose." ”
Liu Yu sighed: "Master Dong Zhuang, from yesterday to today, can there be a dock fort to help?" Everyone is not stupid, usually when you encounter horse thieves and robbers, you can help, but when you encounter an army, who will come to send you to death? Didn't you go to the rescue of those two docks yesterday? If you want to survive, you can only go back to Luoyang with us, not only for you to go back, but also for you to inform the other people of Wubao nearby to evacuate together. If the imperial court intends to levy your Ding and collect your taxes, it would have been collected a long time ago, so why wait until now? Now the country is in trouble, everyone must face it, everyone gets together to defend Luoyang, so that we can talk about the future, this truth, Dong Zhuang should understand. ”
