Huainan, Shouchun City.
This is a city about the same size as Guangling City. Two large rivers, the Huai River and the Fei River, pass around the city. They make a bend here and rush north. However, the thousands of white sails that usually come and go on the river are not visible. Because of the upcoming war, they became scattered and almost invisible. The few that floated in occasionally also came from the north and south, bringing a boatload of refugees with their mouths in tow. After getting off the boat, they were excited Kowtow and worship, thank God.
Liu Yu, wearing leather armor, stood at the head of Shouchun City, frowning, looking at the ferry in the north of the city. Another boat was arriving. Dozens of people dressed in commoners and Han Chinese helped the old and young to get off the boat one after another. Under the leadership of a ferry official, they walked towards the south of the city.
Liu Yu sighed and murmured: "Two years ago, at this time in Jingkou, I picked up Pingzi, Tutu and the others like this. I didn't expect to see such a scene again today."
Murong Nan and Liu Yu were dressed the same, standing beside him, and said coldly: "These people are really pitiful. Just when they wanted to go home after the Battle of Junchuan, they encountered the Qin Kingdom's Southern Expedition. The family property they finally purchased was lost. I can give up again, but it would be nice if I could save a life."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Isn't Fu Jian known as a benevolent king? Could it be that his subordinates would also burn, kill and loot along the way?"
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "How can we fight if there is no benefit? How can we stimulate the combat effectiveness of the army without allowing robbery? Liu Yu, even your Beifu Army clearly ordered Xie Xuan not to abuse prisoners, but when it came to Liu Laozhi, Aren’t military leaders like Zhuge Kan still trying to kill prisoners and take credit for their merits?”
Liu Yu's face changed slightly. He thought about the last massacre of prisoners in the Huai River. Looking around, the Huai River in front of him seemed to have turned a little red. He shook his head and sighed: "Since ancient times, it has been said that military disasters After the last time, I finally understand the disaster of war. But I still insist that as a soldier, you should kill enemies with weapons on the battlefield, not surrendered prisoners, let alone civilians!"
Murong Nan nodded: "People like you are really rare. But I also agree with your point of view. The swords of warriors should not be contaminated with the blood of civilians. Okay, let's not talk about this. This time, Marshal Xuan What you are asked to do is a private matter, so even the officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army are useless. Apart from you, I only asked more than two hundred troops to escort you. Now that you have arrived in Shouchun, why don't you go to Huan Yi instead? here?"
Liu Yu curled up his lips and said calmly: "The war is coming. I want to take a look at the city defense of Shouchun. If Hu rushes here on horseback, I may be needed to help defend the city."
Murong Nan smiled and said: "The Qin army is not so fast. You see, the people in Huaibei can still go south, which means that the Qin army has not arrived so quickly. If the Qin army really comes, it will not be a good thing, Shouchun The current garrison is only three thousand, and the food and grass can only last two months. The layout of Xu Yuanxi's military camp is far different from that of the Beifu army. I don't think he can hold it."
Having said this, Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Look, even Huan Yi himself is not in Shouchun City, which means that he has little hope of holding the city, so he found an excuse to mobilize troops south."
Liu Yu sighed: "I thought I could still see Huan Yi, but I didn't expect that he is not here. Now I don't know how to arrange the marriage. After all, my parents are not here and no one makes the decision."
Murong Nan's eyes were shining brightly: "So, you want to help defend Shouchun City? Liu Yu, you are just a small building owner now. Xu Yuanxi is still a general after all, and it is not something you can command."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Just for Miaoyin, I have to protect her. In fact, Shouchun is an important town in Huainan. The city defenses have been very strong over the years. The Huai River and Fei River are blocking it, which is also a natural moat. Even if the Qin army Come here, just rely on the existing strength in the city and a little organization of the people to send out strong men to help defend. It can also be defended. As long as it can be delayed for ten days and a half, Commander Xuan will definitely send reinforcements. By then, one city will be here. Camp, enough to hold on.”
Murong Nan's expression changed: "You don't really want to defend the city here, do you? Liu Yu, this is no joke. You don't have your brothers around you this time. Just the guards in this city." The army is far inferior to the tiger and wolf divisions of the Beifu Army."
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan with a smile and punched him in the chest lightly: "It's not you..." He punched so fast that Murong Nan didn't react at all and hit him directly. The tentacles touched his chest, but he only felt that the tentacles were soft and defeated. It was completely different from the hard feeling like a spring-loaded steel plate when he often hit Liu Jingxuan like this before.
Murong Nan was stunned at first, then his eyes seemed to spit out fire, and his strikes were like lightning. Liu Yu was still stunned, and he didn't expect that he would hit someone directly. He only heard a "pop" sound, and his face But he got a slap and it hurt so much.
Only then did Liu Yu react. He covered his face and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Can't you make a joke?"
Murong Nan's face turned red and his eyes widened. He suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed it at Liu Yu, and said sternly: "Don't you know how to be polite? How can you hit someone casually?"
Liu Yu didn't expect Murong Nan's reaction. He looked confused and shook his head: "Well, isn't this kind of fighting between brothers normal? Why did you react so violently and directly draw the sword at each other?"
Murong Nan's eyes suddenly shone with tears, almost as if he was about to cry: "You, you bastard, I, I tell you Liu Yu, familiarity will come soon, if you do this again in the future, I, I will really chop you You. We, we Xianbei people can't touch it casually like this!"
Liu Yu curled up his lips, raised his hands, and bowed deeply: "Okay, okay, I didn't know you took this matter so seriously. I'm sorry for being rude. Brother Murong, I'm sorry!"
Murong Nan turned around angrily, raised a knife, and cut off a corner of the loess battlements on one side. Just like the most famous dish in the city, Bagongshan tofu, this piece was cut off The horn immediately flew out more than ten steps and fell into the moat outside the city far away, causing a wave of waves.
Murong Nan didn't even look at Liu Yu, he picked up the knife and left. His voice came from far away: "Liu Yu, I'm warning you for the last time, respect me in the future, otherwise, your bad hands will be like this next time." .”
Liu Yu sighed softly. Murong Nan's figure had disappeared under the city and was never seen again. He murmured: "This Xianbei person is really a dog-faced person. He can say whatever he wants, but why does he care so much?" what about this?"
His thoughts were still stuck on what had just happened. Suddenly, a panicked cry came from the distance: "No, the thieves are coming, the thieves are coming!"
