Just as Liu Yu was sighing in his heart, a voice came from behind him: "General Liu, the King of Heaven wants to see you."
Liu Yu looked calm, turned around, looked at General Dou Chong standing behind him, and smiled slightly: "I also want to see the King of Heaven."
Half an hour later, only Liu Yu and Fu Jian were sitting opposite each other in the Liangyi Hall. The guards had already exited the hall, because this was a secret conversation, only between two men.
Fu Jian's eyes were sunken, without any joy of victory. They seemed so out of place with the celebration sounds of gongs and drums everywhere in the city. After a long time, he sighed: "Liu Yu, in your eyes now, I Is he a devil, no different from the 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 can't eat people."
Fu Jian closed his eyes in pain and murmured: "I have no reason to defend myself. Yes, I gave Fu Hong the order to do this. Rather than let the hundreds of thousands of people in the city become swords It’s better to let them turn into wild beasts, at least they still have a way to survive.”
Liu Yu said coldly: "I stay here to protect people, not beasts and beasts. You think you saved their lives, but you also wiped out their humanity. In the future, they will be like those cold-blooded people outside the city." Like the Xianbei people who like to kill, they have become ruthless and have no moral bottom line, but this is what you want. Now you are desperate, 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 it at all. Just when you went out of the city to ambush, I received the terrible news that Xinping has fallen!"
Liu Yu's face changed slightly, and this news surprised him: "Xinping City has resisted Yao Chang for so long, and they have fought very well. They captured Yao Chang's Qiang army of 20,000 to 30,000 people. It was also the persistence of the Lingbei area. Why did the city of hope for resistance fall all of a sudden?”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Fu Jian's eyes: "It will be a matter of time. Although the people of Xinping are extremely loyal and the guard Gou Fu is also well versed in the art of war, after all, the city has little food and no foreign aid. After more than a year, it is already... It's a miracle. A month ago, the city was close to running out of food, and all the grass roots and tree bark were eaten up. Gou Fu had no choice but to send someone to contact Yao Chang and ask him to open a passage to allow the soldiers and civilians in the city to withdraw to Chang'an."
Liu Yu frowned: "How could Yao Chang agree to such a request? Either surrender and join them, or destroy the city and perish together. How can there be any reason to let the tiger return to the mountain?"
Fu Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Yao Chang is more cunning and vicious than you think. Over the past year, he has failed to attack Xinping several times, so he changed it to a long-term siege. Anyway, he has enough food and can slowly use it up." , at the same time, he also continued to lure Xinping City to surrender, saying that in troubled times, he needed the followers of loyal and righteous people. If Xinping City was willing to surrender, he would definitely forget the past and get high officials and generous salaries. If it weren't for the soldiers and civilians of Xinping defending the city I killed too many Qiang troops at that time, and knowing that the blood feud is very deep, I am afraid that they would have surrendered long ago."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Xinping, an isolated city, wiped out more Qiang troops than all other places combined, including your main Qin army."
Fu Jian's face turned slightly red and he sighed: "If I had known that Gou Fu had such ability, I should have transferred him back to Chang'an. With him and Yang Ding attacking and defending, we wouldn't be in such a situation today. But even if A good general like him is also a man but not a god. Without food, he could not support him after all, so after rejecting Yao Chang's many attempts to induce surrender, he still took the initiative to test and wanted to withdraw to Chang'an."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Yao Chang has no good intentions. He will never allow the troops in Xinping City to withdraw, otherwise no one will follow him in the future. In my opinion, he must be cheating and deceiving the Xinping defenders." Get out of the city, then ambush and annihilate them."
A trace of anger flashed in Fu Jian's eyes: "You're right, Yao Chang hypocritically swore to heaven in front of the envoy, saying that he swore in the name of the White Horse God that he would never harm Xinping's soldiers and civilians with a single finger. He We need to make our subordinates understand the value of loyalty, and we also need to use Xinping’s new force to contain Xi Yan. He said that if he breaks his oath, he will die if he disciplines him!”
Liu Yu sighed: "This Yao Chang wouldn't even blink an eye when he swore to lie. Even if I believed the old sow climbed the tree, I wouldn't believe the oath he swore. Putting his hope on this liar's lies, Gou Fu will only Kill the entire city’s soldiers and civilians.”
Fu Jian sighed: "That's it. Yao Chang made way for a passage in Nancheng and left tens of thousands of cakes there, saying that they were rations for the soldiers and civilians of Xinping on the road. The soldiers and civilians of Xinping didn't know it was a trick and ate those. Unexpectedly, the pastry was filled with sweat medicine. Within an hour, more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians were all knocked down by the medicine. Yao Chang, the evil thief, realized his sinister intention without even using a single soldier. All the soldiers and civilians in the city were trapped and killed in the south of the city, leaving only a fourteen-year-old child to come back and report the news."
At this point, Fu Jian's eyes sparkled with tears, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless.
Liu Yu closed his eyes and murmured: "No wonder your heart is twisted and you would give such a cannibal order. It turns out that the tragedy in Xinping stimulated you. No wonder, in one day, you experienced two loyal and brave subordinates." Being cruelly trapped, deceived and betrayed, you have lost your last bit of faith in humanity. You would rather they turn into man-eating beasts than be slaughtered like the soldiers and civilians of Xinping City, right?"
Fu Jian looked at Liu Yu motionless 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 people in the city eating people, Looks like this, my heart is broken. I will never do such a thing again, nor will I give such an order. Whether it is life or death, success or failure, let each one accept his destiny."
Liu Yu looked at Fu Jian and nodded: "I hope you can defend Chang'an, Fu Jian. Murong Lan can't accept your approach and has already left. I think it's time for me to leave too."
There was no strange expression on Fu Jian's face. He looked at Liu Yu and said calmly: "We have an agreement. If you help me defend the city, I will give you the jade seal. Chang'an did not break the city today. We are still here." It's all your fault that you can talk here. Please take this with you before you leave."
As he spoke, he pointed at a rosewood box next to him and opened it smoothly. The dark hall suddenly became brighter, with a crystal-white jade shining brightly.
