Yang Bi and others were dragged down by some strong Qiang soldiers. Their shouts and curses could be heard in the distance. Yao Xing curled his lips in disdain: "A defeated general cannot speak bravely. If Fu Jian kills them, , it goes against his name of always being benevolent and righteous, and other generals and commanders will also become cold-blooded and feel rebellious. If they are not killed, it will be difficult to uphold military laws and clearly define punishments. In the future, when other troops fight, there will be no such thing as death if they are not victorious. The momentum will only be more beneficial to our army. In my humble opinion, I wonder if I have guessed what my father is thinking?"
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "Very good, Xing'er, you have matured a lot. My father likes the way you are now. Fu Jian's army has been destroyed. There will be no more big resistance in the Guanzhong area. Send an order to the whole army." They dispersed to the states and counties in the plains of central and western Guanxi and plundered as much as they could. Those who dared to resist were killed. All those who surrendered were taken as slaves. All the food that could not be grabbed was burned by me. Three days later, Xiao Guan Gather troops in this area and return to Lingbei."
Yin Wei's expression changed: "Your Majesty, are you going back to Lingbei? Why don't we join forces with Xianbei Xiyan to attack Chang'an? Now Fu Jian's defeat has appeared. If we attack Chang'an from two sides, he will definitely be defeated."
Yao Chang smiled and shook his head: "Fu Jian will fail sooner or later. We have destroyed his food supply in Guanxi and he will not be able to hold on in half a year. The hometown of the Xianbei people is in Guandong and Liaodong. , even if they capture Chang'an, they will not stay here for a long time, they will definitely leave. At that time, we can wait for Qin to die and take over Chang'an without any effort. Isn't it much better than losing strength and annexing it now? ? As long as we have the territory in Lingbei, food, and manpower, we will be invincible. Even if Xiyan doesn't leave, we can kill them."
Yao Xing breathed a long sigh of relief: "Father is wise. I will make arrangements now."
Yao Chang nodded with satisfaction: "Go and deliver the order. Remember, we must assemble at Xiaoguan within three days. If you are late, we will engage in military law and tell the leaders of each department that their tribes and families are all in Lingbei." Wait for them, don’t have any evil thoughts.”
Seeing Yao Xing and Yin Wei retreating, Yao Chang stood up and stretched. In the distance, Yang Bi and others were already riding horses without saddles and running towards Chang'an City, all the way. Yao Chang kept yelling and scolding all the way, and a sneer appeared at the corner of Yao Chang's mouth: "Fu Jian, don't let me down. It's best to stay in Chang'an for another year and a half, so that I can clear up Lingbei and Long." Just buy time, next time I see Chang'an, I won't be polite to others!"
Chang'an, Xicheng.
Liu Yu wore the armor of a Qin army soldier, holding a spear, and patrolled back and forth in the city. Since he sneaked into Chang'an, he took advantage of the Qin army's opportunity to recruit young men and joined the army. With the Di language and the proof of the familiar Di people on the road between the two households, coupled with his burly body, he quickly joined the ranks of the defenders, while Murong Lan disappeared into the city. This elf-like woman , saying that he was going to contact his accomplices in the city and inquire about the whereabouts of the jade seal in the palace. After everything was found out, he took Liu Yu to get the jade seal.
Liu Yu's eyes fell on the military camp outside the city. In the distance, more than 20 cavalry came from the north. Each of them did not even have a saddle, and their armor was crooked and cracked. They seemed to be the remnants of the defeated generals. They galloped in. In the camp, Liu Yu frowned slightly and murmured: "Is the North defeated again?"
Murong Lan's voice sounded from behind Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, when will you focus on business instead of these useless wars?"
Liu Yu turned his head, and the scent of jasmine came to his face. Murong Lan was wearing the same mask she had worn when she first joined the Beifu Army many years ago. She was dressed like a junior officer and stood three feet behind him with a smile. Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "You have disappeared since then. Besides paying attention to these things, what else can I pay attention to here?"
Murong Lan smiled and walked to Liu Yu's side, stood side by side with him, and looked at the military camp in the distance: "If I really don't come out anymore, will you help Fu defend the city?"
Liu Yu thought for a moment and nodded: "I think I will."
Murong Lan was a little surprised and asked curiously: "You don't say that Han and Hu are not at odds now? Don't forget, Qin is your mortal enemy."
Liu Yu shook his head and pointed to the two porridge sheds at the gate of the city, which were six or seven miles long. The aroma of rice porridge cooking in the big pots came with the wind. Even at the top of the city, you could smell it. It was clear, and even had a hint of the aroma of mutton. Liu Yu said: "Even in troubled times, Fu Jian did not abandon his people. The people in Guanzhong who suffered from the war have been flocking to Chang'an these days. , have been well accommodated. I used to think that the Hu leaders were all cruel and vicious people who poisoned the people, but now it seems that Fu Jian is really different from them, even if he is pretending, it is true. Be good to the people. For this reason, I will temporarily help him."
Murong Lan stuck out her tongue: "This is completely different from the Han hero Liu Jinu in my impression. Just because Fu Jian is still willing to protect the people, you can turn enemies into friends with him?"
Liu Yu sighed: "No, my position determines that he and I are just enemies. If there is a chance, I will take his life. But at least for now, among the people in Guanzhong, whether Han or Di, only Fu Jian is there." , it is possible to survive. Our Northern Expedition of Jin Dynasty to conquer the world is also to end the war, eliminate violence and calm the people. Since the Jin army cannot regain this place for the time being, then I have to temporarily use Fu Jian to protect the life here before the army comes. People. Of course, compared with the task of getting the jade seal, these are secondary. Once the main task is completed, I will definitely have to return to Dajin."
Murong Lan nodded: "Murong Chong took over Murong Hong, and now he has become the leader of the Xiyan Army. Alas, wherever they went, they killed people and massacred the city, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. Feng Yi's area was almost a slaughterhouse. Not only They were the Di people, and even the Han and Qiang people were massacred by them in whole villages. I never thought that Chong'er, the weak young man before, would become like this now."
Liu Yu clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "I remember all these grievances, and one day I will repay them to Murong Chong. It's a pity that the Qin army is really not up to par. These days, I heard that Fu Hui was fighting against Murong Chong fought almost every day, but he never won from the beginning to the end. You Xianbei people can really fight, so it’s no wonder that your eldest brother is deliberately trying to create chaos."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Okay, Liu Yu, you don't have to worry about these wars anymore. I have good news for you. I have found the place where the jade seal is placed. You can follow me to get it tonight. How about we seize the opportunity before Murong Chong besieges the city and Fu Jian is not in the city and run away?"
