Just as Liu Yu was feeling emotional, a voice came from behind him: "General Liu, the King of Heaven wants to see you." ”

Liu Yu's expression was calm, he turned around, looked at the general Dou Chong standing behind him, and smiled slightly: "I also want to go to see the Heavenly King." ”

Half an hour later, in the Liangyi Palace, only Liu Yu and Fu Jian sat opposite each other, and the guards had already withdrawn from the hall, because this was a secret conversation, limited to two men.

Fu Jian's eye sockets were deep-set, without a little joy of victory, and the sound of celebrations beating gongs and drums everywhere in the city seemed so incompatible, after a long time, he sighed: "Liu Yu, now in your eyes, am I a devil, no different from those Xianbei people outside the city?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "No, you are different from them, you are closer to the devil than them, at least, they will not eat people." ”

Fu Jian closed his eyes in pain and muttered, "I have no reason to defend myself, yes, it was I who gave Fu Hong the order to make him do this." Instead of letting these hundreds of thousands of people in the city become ghosts under the sword, it is better to let them become beasts, at least there is a way to live. ”

Liu Yu said coldly: "I stayed here to protect people, not to protect beasts, beasts. You think you saved their lives, but you also exterminated their humanity, and in the future, they will be like those cold-blooded Xianbei people outside the city, becoming ruthless and without moral bottom line, but this is what you want, now you are cornered, if you don't turn them into beasts, how can you fight for you? ”

Fu Jian sighed: "I originally believed in the beauty of human nature, but now I don't believe in it at all. Just as you were out of the city to ambush, I received terrible news that Xinping had fallen! ”

Liu Yu's face changed slightly, and this news surprised him a little: "Xinping City has been holding Yao Chang for so long, fighting very well, and the Qiang army that captured Yao Chang before and after has 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is also the city of hope that insists on resisting in the Lingbei region, why did it fall all of a sudden?" ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Fu Jian's eyes: "That's a matter of time, although the people of Xinping are loyal and righteous, and the guard general Gou Fu is also well versed in the art of war, but after all, the city has little food, and foreign aid has been cut off, and it has been a miracle for more than a year." A month ago, the city was close to running out of food, and the grass roots and bark were about to be eaten, so Gou Fu had no choice but to send someone to contact Yao Chang and ask him to put a passage for the soldiers and civilians in the city to withdraw to Chang'an. ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "How could Yao Chang agree to such a request?" Either surrender and join them, or after the city is broken, the jade and stones will be burned, how can there be a reason for the tiger to return to the mountain? ”

Fu Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Yao Chang is more cunning and vicious than you think, in the past year or so, he has failed to attack Xinping several times, so he changed to a long-term siege, anyway, his food is sufficient, it can be slowly consumed, at the same time, he also continues to lure Xinping City, saying that in the troubled times, he needs the followers of loyal people, if Xinping City is willing to surrender, he must not be guilty of the past, and he will be a high-ranking official." If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers and civilians of Xinping had killed too many Qiang troops when defending the city, they knew that this blood feud was very deep, and they were afraid that they would have surrendered long ago. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Xinping is a lonely city, and the Qiang army that has been eliminated is more than the rest of the place combined, including your main Qin army." ”

Fu Jian's face flushed slightly, and he sighed: "I knew that Gou Fu had such an ability, and he should have been transferred back to Chang'an, with him and Yang Ding attacking and defending, it would not be like today." However, even a good general like him is a human being, not a god, and without food, he can't support it after all, so after rejecting Yao Chang's many temptations, he still took the initiative to test and wanted to withdraw to Chang'an. ”

Liu Yu sneered: "Yao Chang is not well-intentioned, he will never allow the army of Xinping City to withdraw, otherwise no one will follow him in the future, in my opinion, he must be a trick, trick the Xinping defenders out of the city, and then ambush and annihilate him." ”

A hint of anger flashed in Fu Jian's eyes: "You're right, Yao Chang pretended to swear to the sky in front of the envoy, saying that he swore in the name of the White Horse Heavenly God, and would never hurt the Xinping soldiers and civilians with a finger, he needed to let his subordinates understand the value of loyalty, and he also needed to use Xinping's fresh army to contain Xiyan, he said, if he broke his oath, he would not be able to die a good death by disciplining himself!" ”

Liu Yu sighed: "This Yao Chang swears that he won't blink his eyes if he lies, I just believe that the old sow goes up the tree, and I won't believe his oath." Gou Fu pinned his hopes on this liar's lie, which would only kill the entire city's soldiers and civilians. ”

Fu Jian sighed: "That's right, Yao Chang made way for a passage in Nancheng, and left tens of thousands of dumplings there, saying that it was dry food for the Xinping soldiers and civilians on the road, Xinping soldiers and civilians didn't know what the plan was, and ate those dumplings, but they didn't expect that it was full of sweat medicine, and within an hour, more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians were all poured down by the medicine, Yao Chang was a thief, and he realized his sinister intentions without spending a single soldier, he killed the soldiers and civilians of the whole city in the south of the city, leaving only a fourteen-year-old child to come back to report the news. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Jian's eyes were glistening with tears, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless.

Liu Yu closed his eyes and muttered: "No wonder your heart will be twisted and give such a cannibal order, it turned out that the tragedy of Xinping stimulated you, no wonder, in one day, after experiencing two loyal and brave subordinates being brutally killed, deceived and betrayed, your last bit of confidence in human nature has also been lost." You'd rather them become cannibal beasts than be slaughtered like the soldiers and civilians of Tan Binh Thanh City, right? ”

Fu Jian looked at Liu Yu motionlessly, and sighed: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, I gave such an order in shock and anger, but when I thought of the appearance of the people in the whole city when they were eating people, my heart collapsed, I will not do such a thing in the future, nor will I give this kind of order, whether it is life or death, success or failure, each with its destiny." ”

Liu Yu looked at Fu Jian and nodded: "I hope you can hold Chang'an, Fu Jian, Murong Lan can't accept your approach and has already left, I think, I should leave too." ”

Fu Jian didn't have any strange expression on his face, he looked at Liu Yu, and said calmly: "We have an agreement, you help me defend the city, I will give you the jade seal, Chang'an has not broken the city today, we are still here and can talk, it is all your credit, before you leave, please bring this." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a rosewood box beside him and opened it with his hand, and the dim hall suddenly became bright, and a piece of white jade shone brightly.
