Liu Yu looked at Murong Lan, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Are you telling the truth, Murong Lan?" When did you become so thoughtful? In my heart, you have always been a cold-blooded and rational killer, serving the world of your Murong family, and if you want to rebuild your Dayan, don't you just need a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? ”

Murong Lan's eyes were glistening with tears, and she turned her head, not wanting Liu Yu to see her appearance: "But I am a woman after all, along the way, I have seen too many tragic situations after the war, even the babies who were born for a few months died on the side of the road, no one cared, not even the person who buried them." This is war, extermination of human nature, so my concept is shaken, I don't know the situation of our Murong clan establishing Dayan back then, but I heard from my father and ancestors, they are talking about the same great achievements of their ancestors, but behind this great achievement, I am afraid that it is also the corpses of hundreds of people. ”

Liu Yu listened to Murong Lan's words silently, and from her expression and the tightly held sheet, he could feel that this time Murong Lan was talking from the heart, and it was definitely not contrived.

Murong Lan continued: "Actually, in fact, I don't have to take the world like my eldest brother and restore Dayan, the reason why I am willing to serve Dayan and serve him is not only because I am a woman of the Murong family, but more importantly, almost since I was born and remembered, what I have seen is that our Murong clan is ruined, the country is ruined, the clan is scattered, bullied, and humiliated. If I am not the widow of my father, and I have been secretly adopted by my eldest brother since I was a child, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape their fate, so I have to take revenge, avenge our Murong family, as for whether I want to revive Dayan, to be honest, I really haven't thought about it too seriously. ”

Liu Yu muttered: "It turns out that you just want revenge, not to restore the country, no wonder you are so obsessed with killing Fu Jian, and no wonder your eldest brother will let you do these things, just see through your mind." ”

Murong Lan's voice was a little choked: "But, but now I slowly discovered that this revenge is worth living, thousands of lives, Murong Chong has been tormented and twisted by the flames of revenge, in the troubled times, if you want to attack the city and seize the land, you have to stimulate the beastly nature of the soldiers, this beastly nature, isn't it what we have seen all the way?" Pengcheng, Xuyi, Xingyang, Shaanxi County! The horrible sights of corpses piled up one after another, the heads of the city, the corpses of babies hanging from the treetops, and the wild dogs and coyotes gnawing on the abandoned corpses in the wilderness appeared again and again in my dreams! ”

"Now, it's finally Chang'an's turn, here I have seen nearly a million living beings with my own eyes, and ordinary people such as Pirick and Alitai have come here, I can't imagine that one day, they will starve to death, or after the city is broken, they will be slaughtered by the Western Yan army, at least, I don't want to see it again. Liu Yu, this is what I think now, no matter how much I hated Fu Jian before, but now, only he can protect these people and let them survive, and Murong Chong outside the city will only slaughter the city, even if they are my people, I don't want them to enter Chang'an! ”

Liu Yu sighed: "This is the real you, you still have kindness in your heart, and you are different from your good nephews." Yes, I stayed to defend the city, because I didn't want to see the tragic scenes of the cities that had been slaughtered and plundered repeated. This is Chang'an, the former capital of our Han people for thousands of years, it should not experience such a tragedy, I will hold on to this city until our army of the Great Jin Dynasty recovers here. ”

Murong Lan shook her head: "What if the army of the Great Jin Dynasty doesn't come?" Liu Yu, I know you don't like to hear this, so all along, I don't say it, what Xie An wants is just a jade seal, so as to keep the power of his Xie family, if he really has the heart of the Northern Expedition, he should have taken you as a general and prepared to send troops. You want to protect the people of Chang'an, but he doesn't care about the life and death of these millions of creatures at all, even if it is the Great Jin Dynasty's own cities, such as Huaibei Zhucheng, such as Pengcheng, such as Shouchun, he also said that he would abandon it, how could he have ever cared about the life and death of those people? These powerful ministers who can manipulate the world have cold and hard hearts, and they will never mistake national affairs and family power for the life and death of the people. ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he said calmly: "How Lord Xianggong thinks and how he does it is his business, but I am here now, acting only according to my own conscience, if the army does not come for a day, I will stay here for a day, that's all." ”

Murong Lan's pale and beautiful face frowned slightly: "Drink this bowl of porridge, at least, it will give you the strength to defend the city, now I, to you, to defend the city are useless people, I don't need these things." ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "You are a wounded, you can help me by recovering from your injuries as soon as possible." Today, Yang Ding attacked Yanying, if he can win, he will bring back some grain and grass, and he doesn't have to worry too much about what I haven't eaten. ”

Murong Lan's lips lightly opened: "I'm afraid you don't understand the combat methods of our Xianbei people, unlike you Han people, who reset the grain and grass in the camp, what we eat is cattle and sheep, usually with the tribe as a unit, the nomadic tribesmen, in this kind of troubled times, it is also the whole landing action, focusing together, the warriors go out one or two hundred miles, and the old and weak women and children with cattle and sheep, grazing in the safe area hundreds of miles behind, the sentinels are out in all directions, within a radius of thousands of miles, if there is a large force of enemy troops approaching the rear camp, it will be clear, So even if Yang Ding can defeat Chong'er a few times and attack a few of his camps, but the heavy grain and grass is not to be solved by this method. Unless he can completely defeat the besieging Xiyan army and get in touch with other states and counties in Guanzhong. ”

Liu Yu's expression became solemn: "Yes, now that the Yan army has gained an advantage on the battlefield, it is difficult for the Qin army to break the blockade of the siege, even if it can break through a few camps, it is also a heavy loss, the number of elite soldiers is rapidly decreasing, and the 70,000 horses that Fu Hui brought back from Luoyang have now lost most of them, and if they fight like this for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that they will not have the ability to attack again." ”

"As for the other states and counties in Guanzhong, they are also too busy to take care of themselves, Xiyan now has hundreds of thousands of people, and the consumption of grain and grass is also very huge, it is not enough to rely on his own cattle and sheep, now Murong Chong is besieging Chang'an with a large battalion, dividing his troops and plundering around, there used to be many people coming to Chang'an from all over Guanzhong every day, but now there are very few, it is good to have dozens of people a day, and they are also here to ask for help!"
