Murong Zhen sneered and said: "Master Helan, you have not dealt with these Han people too much. There is a military discussion here now. Han Zhuo and other Han ministers are not here. I can just say Wuji. Look at how they usually treat us. How respectful. As soon as the Jin army arrived, their clansmen and branch families rebelled in various places and surrendered to the Jin army. If not, how could we have been defeated so miserably this time? Isn't it because of the powerful Han clans in Qingzhou? , did they all surrender to the enemy?"
Helan Lu curled up his lips: "Who told us that we lost in Linqu? These Han people are just grassroots, they will fall to wherever they are strong. When Dayan came, didn't they just surrender? But this is not the same as Liu. What does Yu have to do with it? He is the one who will decide our future destiny, not these Han people."
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth: "This is where you are ignorant. Who is Liu Yu? He is a general, not an emperor. He is only responsible for fighting the war and does not care about post-war disposal, just like Luoyang back then. After defeating us, The emperor of the Jin Dynasty gave an order, and he still had to go back obediently, and the Han people in Luoyang could only fall into the hands of the Hu people of the Later Qin Dynasty again. Do you understand?"
Helan Lu's eyes sparkled, thoughtfully. Murong Zhen turned to Murong Lan and said in a deep voice: "Princess Lan, it's not that I can't trust your husband, but even he has been deceived by noble families and officials in the Jin Kingdom many times, and he almost lost his life. Since ancient times, there have been few loyal ministers and villains who have done meritorious service outside, while traitors and villains have stood above the court. Look at our country in Yan, with so many loyal ministers and good generals, but they have ended up like this. Isn’t it because of traitors like Murong Chui and Gongsun Wulou? person?"
Murong Lan said seriously: "Liu Yu's situation is different. He has great power and can definitely..."
Murong Zhen waved his hand and interrupted Murong Lan: "Didn't Hei Pao make it clear? There are his accomplices in the Jin State, the inner Ying, that Doupeng from the Tiandao Alliance, he is such a traitor, he picked The Tianshi Dao rebellion has started, and now it is almost reaching Jiankang!"
"Why did Liu Yu rush to attack the city? He had been besieging us for a year and almost starved us to death, but he ended up attacking us by force at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties. Isn't it because he had to rush back? Otherwise, Jiankang If it is lost, the Jin Kingdom will be destroyed, so what’s the use of destroying us?”
Helan Lu also said: "There is indeed a reason for this. Liu Yu's attack this time was because there was a fire in the backyard and he had to rush back to put out the fire. However, I believe he did not kill us all today. He also had other considerations. Not only It’s the so-called benevolence and righteousness.”
He Lanmin suddenly said: "That's because Liu Yu was thinking about what happened after the war. He vented his anger and massacred all Guanggu and all of us Xianbei people. Not only would it be morally wrong, but no one would be able to restrain those Qilu people in the future. The Han people are a big family."
He Lanlu's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Oh, what you said is incredible, why didn't I think of this!"
He Lanmin smiled slightly, looked at Murong Lan and said: "When fighting, it is always for profit. Liu Yu is a shrewd commander and a great politician. He will not raise troops out of anger. He occupied this place firstly for the people. Revenge, but this revenge is also to maintain his image of benevolence and love for the people. Secondly, expelling the Hulu and restoring the Central Plains has been his dream for many years, but this dream does not mean that he must drive out the Hu people. Just like Princess Lan is also a Hu Human, but if it’s useful to him, he can’t put it down.”
Murong Lan said coldly: "Minmin, be careful what you say. Liu Yu is not that kind of lecherous person."
He Lanmin giggled and said: "Of course, your husband is like a dragon or a phoenix among men, but we Xianbei people are all good at fighting, especially good at riding and shooting. Liu Yu wants to conquer the world and pacify the Central Plains, relying only on his infantry. No, elite cavalry is indispensable, so he let us go, not because of emotion or morality, but because we are useful to him, you have to admit this, right, Alan?"
Murong Lan's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "After surrendering, we are all common people of the Jin Dynasty, and every common person is useful to the country. We Xianbei people have an advantage in fighting, so we have to bear more military service and military obligations. Responsibility, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
He Lanmin nodded: "Of course there is no problem, but what I want to say is that Liu Yu also needs us very much. Keeping us is better than killing us. Since he needs us, then we have to negotiate terms with him. There is no room for it, it doesn’t have to be like what you said, I can only accept it unconditionally and let others slaughter me.”
At this time, everyone in the hall nodded. Murong Zhen stroked his white beard and said, "It's what Priest Amin said. It's true. Princess Lan, do you want to continue to follow me?" Can Liu Yu talk about the conditions?"
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth: "Either let us continue to be stationed in Guanggu, we can submit to the Jin Dynasty and use the banner of the Jin Dynasty. In fact, we can let you, Princess Lan, guard this place as the chief officer, but we cannot be separated, nor can we They were scattered to various powerful Han manor houses and worked as slaves."
"Either give us hundreds of large ships and let us return to our hometown in Liaodong. This Guanggu belongs to him, Liu Yu, and he can distribute it however he likes, but it is none of our business. In fact, Princess Lan, I would rather be the one behind. Under such circumstances, I believe that most of the clan members also want to return to their hometown!"
Murong Lan sneered: "Go back to my hometown? Do you know what is going on in Liaodong now? It was Feng who destroyed our Murong family and changed our name to Beiyan. If we go back, we have to fight a bloody battle with Beiyan in our hometown first. You Do you think we can defeat the Feng family of Beiyan who has been separatist in Liaodong for nearly ten years and has a deep foundation with our few remaining soldiers?"
Murong Zhen said solemnly: "I know Feng Ba best. He was my subordinate when we were in Xiyan. His ability is not very good. If we go back, even the current troops will be sure to beat him."
Murong Lan sighed: "Okay, Beihai King, now the inner city's people and troops can only have more than 100,000 people, and only 30,000 people can afford to fight with weapons. All the armor and cavalry have been lost, let alone Beiyan." There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are tens of thousands of armored cavalry in Longcheng. In our land of Nanyan, those powerful Han people, are you sure that you can defeat those with the surname Gao and the surname Feng? "
Murong Zhen wanted to retort, but was speechless.
Murong Lan continued: "Besides, in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, our ancestors just didn't want to suffer the suffering of survival, so they moved their families to the Central Plains. In these years, at least we have lived a much better life than before, Beihai King You say you want to go back to your hometown and live the life of drinking ice, chewing grass, and living without a fixed place. How many people are willing? After enjoying the prosperity and stability of the Central Plains, who can bear to go to a bitter and cold place? "
