Chapter 2045 Old friends meet (2)
Yelu Baoji just looked at Wanyanbi calmly and smiled at him, but said nothing.
Wanyanbi finally stopped laughing and realized that Yelu Baoji was not joking.
"Brother Yelu."
Wanyan Bi used a normal tone this time: "If you ask me about the Yan people's intelligence and troop deployment, maybe I will tell you, but there is no need to persuade them to surrender.
I, Wanyanbi, surrendered to the Yan people once. I am fed up with this life of being dependent on others and groveling, and I don’t want to try it a second time.
If you have anything to say, just keep it in your stomach."
This time Wanyanbi's tone was calm, but there was an unquestionable look in his eyes.
Yelu Baoji asked with the same calm expression:
"Since you surrendered to the Yan people, why can't you surrender to the Liang army?
You have a blood feud with Liang Jun, but don’t you have a blood feud with Yan Jun?
Don’t forget that your father, Prince Long, died at the hands of the Yan people, so your hatred for the Yan army should be even deeper."
This question stopped Wanyanbi and reminded him of the scene when he surrendered that night.
At that time, wasn't he determined to die and follow his father?
But Yan Rong's Zhao Ping Ling, Lord Baili Shen, just describing a kind of torture in words made his psychological defense completely collapse. When fear appears in people's hearts, their determination will be shaken.
As long as a gap is torn open, Wanyanbi's desire to survive will become stronger and stronger.
Later, when the Yan people promised to save the lives of his family, Wanyanbi completely put aside his dignity and knelt before Mu Yunduankang.
Over the years, what has supported Wanyanbi's survival is his family and the continuation of his bloodline. Of course, there is also a glimmer of hope that cannot be explained.
Wanyanbi's eyes were filled with memories, and he finally murmured:
"Kill me~"
Today, no matter how much torture Liang Jun used, Wanyanbi would never bend his back again.
That unforgettable feeling of shame is enough to be experienced once in this life.
Yelu Baoji’s eyes narrowed slightly:
"I won't kill you."
Wanyanbi said coldly: "I regard you as a friend, why do you need to persuade me like this?
You know my Wanyanbi's temper. Even if you kill me, you won't get what I don't want to do.
If you still miss the old relationship, give me a break."
Wanyanbi's expression gradually became cold, and he loved to hear every word Yelu Baoji said.
"Haha~ You, you, are still as stubborn as before."
Yelu Baoji suddenly laughed softly, straightened his sleeves, and said to himself:
"Remember our childhood?
At the age of eight, you were teasing the defenders and generals at the gate of Jiuxiao City. In the end, your father personally came out to wipe your butt.
At the age of nine, the two of us can go in and out of the imperial city, play and fight inside, and you can practice the wooden sword your father carved for you on the horsewalk, while I am reading those ancient books."
Wanyanbi was surrounded by Yelu Baoji unknowingly and murmured:
"Yes, those books of yours are all densely packed with words, which makes me have a headache when I read them.
But my father still forced me to look, and would beat me if I didn’t look. I was beaten by my father all the time since I was a child.”
"Isn't it? I still remember that bamboo stick to this day."
Yelu Baoji gestured in the air:
"It's so long and thick. You were beaten so hard every time that you screamed. Several times you escaped into the palace and were chased and beaten by your father. It was His Majesty who came forward to save you from the physical pain."
"How are you better than me?"
Wanyan Bi curled his lips disdainfully and said:
"Your grandfather is famous for being strict. He has to report every day when he goes out to play. If he misses reading a book, he has to stand in front of your Yelu family's house. With your body and bones, how can you endure such hardship?
I have been urging you to follow me to practice martial arts and keep fit, but you just don’t listen. Now you are still as skinny as a bamboo pole, and you will fall down when the wind blows."
Yelu Baoji chuckled and then recalled:
"Later, when I grew up, you went to the army. I had no playmates, so I just spent the whole day studying and literacy in the house. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye~"
In fact, their childhoods were no happier than those of farm children. They could play carefree. However, Wanyanbi and Yelubaoji grew up carrying the hopes of their families since they were young, and the burdens on their shoulders were particularly heavy.
"Yes, many years."
Wanyanbi murmured with a sad look:
"I can't even remember the last time I saw you."
"I remember."
Yelu Baoji said softly:
"You followed your father on the expedition to Liaodong. Before you left, you chatted with me, saying that when you return to Jiuxiao City again, you will definitely become the most dazzling general in this imperial city."
Wanyanbi was stunned. He remembered that scene.
Before going on the expedition, he felt that he would definitely have military success and defeat the Liang army. At that time, he was so sharp and high-spirited~
If you could turn back time and return to that day again, would you still be able to lead the army on an expedition with great interest?
No, Wanyanbi won’t.
He would persuade his father not to leave Jiuxiao City and put the entire army on alert to prevent the Yan army from entering and making a surprise attack.
This may save Beijin, but if it fails, it will just lose a Liaodong that does not belong to them in the first place.
The two of them just talked to each other, recalling scenes from the past. The atmosphere in the tent relaxed a lot, and it seemed that the two of them had completely forgotten that they were hostile.
Just in this atmosphere, Yelu Baoji's tone suddenly became sharp:
"Brother Wanyan, I'm afraid you didn't think about it when you went on the expedition. When you stepped into the gate of Jiuxiao City again, were you going to trick the Yan army into opening the gate of our capital?"
This sudden and sudden change was completely beyond Wanyanbi's expectation.
Wanyan Bi was stunned, and a look of shame quickly appeared on his face.
That's right, it was he who led the Yan army to deceive the gates of Jiuxiao City, and it was he who brought the enemy into his home. That was the most shameful thing Wanyan Bi did in his life.
Strictly speaking, he was also the person who led to the fall of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Yelu Baoji said coldly:
"Do you know how many people died in Jiuxiao City that night? Do you know how many soldiers died on the city tower that night? Do you know how the people of Beijin have lived under the rule of the Yan people in these years?
Um?"
Wanyanbi's cheeks became increasingly stiff. He knew very well how the Yan people had treated the people of Beijin over the years, and he did not regard them as human beings at all.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about this expedition to Northern Liang. Countless young and strong men were forcibly recruited to the front line to lead the battle for the Yan Rong soldiers, and eventually died under the strong bows and crossbows of the Liang army.
Rivers of blood flowed, and corpses littered the fields~
How they treated the people of Liaodong back then, now the Yan people treat the Jin people.
Maybe this is the so-called reincarnation response~
Although Wanyan Bi was a powerful figure in the East Court, no one dared to refute his face.
