Liu Yu's eyes were shining, obviously thinking. Murong Lan's eyes were staring at him closely, full of pleading. This was a look that this strong woman had never seen before. Even Wang Miaoyin gently Sighed: "If that doesn't work, I can go back to Jiankang temporarily and help you keep an eye on the cloak. Before I leave, I will leave you the emperor's scepter in my hand. You can have full authority over this matter of peace." Decide."
Liu Yu took a deep breath and said: "I'm sorry, Alan, I have to refuse you. Unless you can take the initiative to hand over the black robe, I am determined to win this battle."
Murong Lan said sternly: "I have analyzed it to this extent, do you have to be obsessed with it?"
Liu Yu said loudly: "No, this is not stubbornness, but a decision I have to make. The purpose of this Northern Expedition is to eliminate Nan Yan, regain the homeland, and also to warn the whole world that all those who want to harm our Jin people What will be the fate and outcome of those people or forces. Let everyone know that we Han people are not cattle and sheep who can be slaughtered by others and take whatever we ask for. Anyone who offends our Han people will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "I also sympathize with those thousands of Han people. I tried my best to help them escape, but I still couldn't escape the clutches of the black robe."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "So, this blood debt must be blamed on Heipao. Now you are saying that it is because Heipao incited Xianbei soldiers and civilians to participate in the massacre of the people, resulting in no way out, so in order not to continue to aggravate the hatred , asking me to withdraw my troops. But in this way, our Han people died in vain, and the culprits in black robes cannot be punished. Then everyone in the world can continue to oppress us Han people, and at worst, the whole family will be kidnapped in the end, so I won't You dare to take action, right?"
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "It's not that I don't want to seek revenge from Black Robe, but I want to find an opportunity. Now is obviously not a good time for revenge."
Liu Yu shook his head: "The injustice has its owner, and the debt has its owner. This time I am launching a war to seek justice for the thousands of people who were robbed. If Nanyan can send these people back, there is still the possibility of peace, but Now that they are all dead, there is no possibility of negotiation, unless you hand over the black robe, but you yourself say you can't do this, then there is nothing to say, we Han people will take revenge in our own way!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Alan, you may not be clear about some things since you have been living in the city for a long time. After the Battle of Linqu, all the Xianbei tribes in Southern Yan concentrated on the Guanggu area. In turn, almost all the prefectures The counties and counties expelled or killed Xianbei officials, and the local Han tribes took control of the situation and surrendered to our army. In just a few days, a large number of Han officials such as Shen Xuan, the prefect of Taishan, surrendered, and they were not just The last reduction was as simple as Shen Xuan, for example, who organized the Han people in Taishan County, and more than 3,000 men came to join the army, bringing 100,000 shi of military rations. Now, the Han people from all over the country who come to the army every day to defect to the army are paying thousands every day. Number. This is the true will of the people. They have had enough of the bullying and humiliation of the Hu people. Now is the time for them to take revenge. Can I withdraw my troops at this time?"
Murong Lan curled up her lips: "Huh, they are just some grassroots. They will join whoever is more powerful. In the past, when Nan Yan established the country here, these local wealthy families were very respectful. If it weren't for you Linqu Dasheng, how dare they do such a thing?"
Liu Yu said coldly: "Alan, you don't know what you Xianbei people do to these Han people in normal times. The Xianbei people don't do anything in production, they just idle around all day long, steal and plunder these Han villages, and then use the excuse to suppress the bandits. Go up and search again as an officer and soldier. This is not a problem of one or two villages, but a common phenomenon. There is almost no village that has not encountered this situation. I am not wronging you."
Murong Lan was speechless and could only sigh: "When my little brother was still alive, this kind of situation was prohibited. Even if it happened, it would be punished. That is, it was only in the past two years that Murong Chao came to the throne and the black robe came to power. There will be a lot of situations like you mentioned.”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "That's it. In order to stimulate the Xianbei people's nature of benefiting from war and robbery, Heipao encouraged and instigated the Xianbei people to bully the Han people. In the end, the Xianbei sergeant in Nanyan heard the order. Attacking the Eastern Jin Dynasty, everyone was happy to hear the result. The Yan army we met in Linqu was very tenacious. They were not just captured and forced to go to the battlefield. If we want to say that the blame is not placed on Heipao alone, It can be solved by yourself.”
Murong Lan bit her lip: "Liu Yu, what do you mean, do you really want to slaughter my entire Xianbei clan?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "It depends on their performance, Alan. If they don't realize their sins and refuse to atone for their sins, then why should I forgive and let them go?"
Murong Lan opened her eyes wide: "They are just soldiers of the country. They obey orders. How can they be guilty?"
Liu Yu said loudly: "These soldiers of the Nanyan country bullied the Han people of Nanyan in peacetime, and when they robbed and killed our Han people of Jin Dynasty, did they ever hesitate or refuse? They were happy when they killed, but they were attacked by others. It's time to open up the net again. How can there be such a truth in this world? It was Hei Pao who gave them the order to massacre civilians. If you hand over Hei Pao, you can avoid death. If you follow Hei Pao and continue to fight, then we will all perish."
Murong Lan's body swayed slightly, almost unsteady. Liu Yu instinctively stretched out his hand to help her, but when his hand reached halfway, it still stopped in mid-air. After all, he did not reach out fully.
Murong Lan murmured to herself: "It turns out, it turns out that this is what you really mean, Liu Yu. It turns out that you have long been determined to destroy my entire Xianbei clan."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Yes, I want to destroy your entire Xianbei clan, but I don't want to use swords and bodies to destroy us Han people like you do. What I want is for you Xianbei people to truly surrender, be willing to be the people of the Jin Dynasty, and be willing to cooperate with others." Like the Han people, they organized households and unified the people, and made a living by farming. They no longer felt that they were superior to others, and that they could dominate the world by joining the clan as soldiers. If you want to stay in the Central Plains, you must live according to the lives of the people in the Central Plains. Fa, stop thinking about being a master."
Murong Lan said bitterly: "That at least requires a process. We Xianbei people have been serving as soldiers for hundreds of years, while women and children graze at home. You can't change everyone's way of life in one day!"
Liu Yu said coldly: "How to live is another matter, but before that, they need to understand that in the future, their master will no longer be the pseudo-emperor of the Murong family, but the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Who is theirs?" The master of fate and even life and death must be clarified first! If I still obey the orders of the black robe and fight against the Jin Dynasty, then why did I come to the Northern Expedition this time? "
