Gongsun Wulou's face darkened, and he was about to have an attack. He Lanmin on the side quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Mr. Wulou, now is a fierce battle, and I hope you will put the overall situation first. General Xiaolin strictly abides by military orders." That’s all, if I’ve offended you in any way, please be kind to me and be tolerant.”
He Lanmin said, and even winked at Gongsun Wulou, which made Gongsun Wulou's face suddenly full of smile: "Since Mrs. Helan, since Miss Helan said so, then I can only obey my fate. , Actually, it’s not that I don’t understand this truth, it’s just that General Xiaolin used to be my subordinate, and his father worked with me. I think the young man is very energetic and doesn’t understand human affairs very well, so I want to enlighten him. , don’t think that you can ignore your old boss just because he lost power. If this becomes a habit, you will suffer big losses in the future.”
Murong Lin bowed to Gongsun Fifth Floor expressionlessly: "Thank you, Lord Fifth Floor, for your advice. Xiao Linzi has one more thing I would like to ask you for advice."
Gongsun Wulou's smile gradually dissipated, and he raised the corners of his lips impatiently: "What else can I do?"
Murong Lin looked at Gongsun Wulou motionlessly: "My eldest brother Murong Huojibu, as the commander of the Su Wei Army, went with Mr. Wulou to reinforce Dongcheng. How is he now?"
Gongsun Wulou's face changed slightly, and he pretended to be sad. He closed his eyes and shook his head in pain: "My dear nephew, it's not that I, Gongsun Wulou, wanted to hide it from you. It was actually the intention of the national master. I'm afraid that if you father and son find out, it will affect your mood and then affect the battle."
Murong Lin's eyes began to fill with tears: "Has my eldest brother died on the battlefield? Lord on the fifth floor, please tell me the truth."
Gongsun Wulou gritted his teeth, opened his eyes, and no longer avoided Murong Lin's gaze. He said: "Yes, your eldest brother is good. He led the guards and horses to reinforce the city, and he and the East City guard Helan Halimu The generals fought side by side and repelled several sieges by the Jin army. Even the gold and soil expedition team that the Jin army leader Zhuge Changmin regarded as important died in the hands of your elder brother."
"I can only hate those Jin troops who resorted to dirty tricks when they couldn't defeat them. They even fired lime packets at the top of the city with all their heart, exposing both the enemy and our troops who were still fighting to the lime mist. In addition, they later fired at the city. Thousands of soldiers of our army defending the city, including General Helan Harimu, and your eldest brother, all died in the battle at the top of the city."
Two long lines of tears fell from the corners of Murong Lin's eyes: "That is to say, my eldest brother died in lime water, and even the body can't be found, right?"
Gongsun Wulou sighed: "This quicklime powder burns when it comes into contact with water. In addition, it has strong corrosive properties. If soaked in it, it will immediately turn into withered bones. It is indeed invisible. Now the top of the East City is already a piece of Hell, the Jin army can no longer enter the city, and our army cannot collect the corpses at this time. After this battle is over, I will definitely look for the bones of the soldiers who died in the battle."
He was talking eloquently, and the dozens of guards behind him who participated in the Lime Burning City lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Murong Lin.
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "Then I dare to ask the Lord on the fifth floor, you were the commander-in-chief of Dongcheng at that time. Where were you at that time?"
Gongsun Wulou was slightly stunned at first, then said angrily: "Xiao Linzi, when you ask what I mean, do you mean you don't believe what I say?"
Murong Lin said solemnly: "I don't dare. It's just that this time I attack, life or death is uncertain. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to ask the Lord on the fifth floor about this matter again. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to ask clearly. No. Keep any regrets to yourself.”
Gongsun Wulou rolled his eyes and sighed: "Xiao Linzi, you have to make it clear that the commander of Dongcheng at that time was not me, but General Helan Harimu, who was also an old acquaintance of your father. But we are good comrades who have been in prison together."
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "Isn't that all thanks to you, Lord Fifth Floor? If not, how could I have become your subordinate before?"
Gongsun Wulou sneered: "I just have different political opinions from them for the sake of the country. Xiao Linzi, there is no need to ridicule me like this. Although I lost power today, I may be like your father and be reinstated in the future. By the time we arrive. You will regret your words someday."
Murong Lin said in a deep voice: "Master Fifth Floor, I don't want to quarrel with you. Do you want to say that the commander of Dongcheng is Uncle Harimu, so he won't let you go to the city to take command?"
Gongsun Wulou smiled slightly: "So when I came today I couldn't see your handsome father, so I felt strange. Xiao Linzi, don't blame me, Gongsun Wulou. It's just because he was in Dongcheng before, Helan Harimu Gong avenged his personal revenge, and started He wanted to drive me away, but later even though he allowed my reinforcements to go to the city, he still refused to allow me to go to the city, saying that I wanted to take away his credit, don’t you think so?”
A group of guards behind him quickly said in unison: "Yes, that's it. It was General Helan Harimu who prevented my lord from going to the city."
Murong Lin said coldly: "So, the Lord on the fifth floor is supervising the battle below the city and watching everything that happens at the top of the city, right?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded: "I didn't want to make things stalemate, so I went to guard the city gate. However, I have been watching the situation at the top of the city. Your eldest brother has been with Helan Harimu. Lime flew up. When I entered the city, I could see clearly."
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "Are those lime bags and water bags really thrown into the city by the Jin army?"
Gongsun Wulou's face sank and he said sternly: "Murong Lin, what do you mean? I kindly explained to you the circumstances of your eldest brother's death in battle, but you don't believe this and the other. Are you doubting that it's me? Killed your elder brother?”
Murong Lin said solemnly: "I have no such idea, I just want to understand the situation at that time. The lime bag is too cruel. If one is not careful, it will hit our siege troops, causing even greater losses. The city catapult couldn't be too close to the city wall. How could so many lime bags be thrown onto the city at once? Uncle Helan Harimu and my eldest brother are both veteran generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. If the enemy really How could he be completely unprepared if he threw bags of lime?"
Gongsun Wulou sneered and said: "I told you, because there was a melee at the top of the city. Zhuge Changmin took advantage of the fierce battle at the top of the city to secretly push the catapult close to the city wall, and then killed thousands of people at the top of the city. When it rises, if you attack without distinguishing between friend and foe, your eldest brother and Helan Harimu were fighting the enemy personally at that time and had no time to observe the battle situation outside the city. Isn't this difficult to understand?"
Murong Lin sneered and said: "If the enemy troops are all killed in front of our general, do they still need to choose such a strategy of dying together?"
