Murong Chao's expression changed: "What's going on? There are only more than a thousand prisoners left? Who killed them?"
A voice sounded coldly from behind: "I gave the order."
Everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Yuwen Hai Lanhu who had been behind Murong Lan. They saw him slowly raising his hand, wiping and lifting his face, and an uninviting bronze mask suddenly replaced Yu Wenhai.
Lan Hu's face said: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent and I didn't have time to request you. Please forgive me for making my own decision."
Murong Chao took a breath of air: "National Master? How could it be you? Why do you dress up as this person?"
Murong Lan said coldly: "You are finally willing to show up. Master, are you enjoying the intrigues and mutual testing that I have been doing for a while?"
The black robe said coldly: "I know you saw me early, otherwise you wouldn't have named me to bring someone to follow you, but I'm still a little strange. I asked myself that you concealed it perfectly this time, and you
How can you tell?"
Murong Lan sighed: "Because you have been inciting those Xianbei people, provoking their hatred, and making them attack Han musicians. How can an ordinary Xianbei person have such deep hatred for the Han people who are also common people? And He Lanmin's
This order could only have been given by you. Mixing in with the crowd and adapting to the situation is your usual method."
The black robe smiled slightly: "Bu Hao is my best disciple, Alan. Although you ruined my big event again this time, I still want to say that you did a great job."
Having said this, the black robe looked at Murong Chao: "Your Majesty, there are many people here talking, so let's take a step to talk. I agree with Princess Lan. Some things are better settled before returning to the city."
Murong Chao thought for a moment, then turned to the generals behind him and said: "Fifth floor, Lord Helan, please let the soldiers take a rest here and replenish some water. I, Princess Lan and the Imperial Master will be there soon."
return."
Helan Lu nodded, turned his horse and retreated, while Gongsun Wulou had a flattering smile on his face and was about to speak when he heard Hei Pao say coldly: "You still think your performance in Linqu is not good enough?"
This sentence frightened Gongsun Wulou to dare not say anything anymore. He turned around and left. Following Helan Lu, he began to shout orders loudly, while Murong Chao and Murong Lan rode side by side, following behind Helan Lu.
Behind him, he reached a small mound of earth about a hundred paces away and abandoned his horse and went uphill.
Murong Lan looked at Hei Pao and said in a deep voice: "Hei Pao, this incident was all caused by you. Are you happy that it is like this now?"
Heipao shook his head: "Things were a little beyond my expectation. The main reason is that I still underestimated Liu Yu's ability to fight. However, if I had to choose again, I would still do it. Because Liu Yu's military strength and the Eastern Jin Dynasty's
The country’s strength will only get stronger and stronger. If we can’t defeat it this time, we will only be unable to defeat it even more in the future.”
Murong Chao sighed: "Master, you have tried your best in the battle of Linqu. I can see this clearly. I will not blame you for this. If I blame Liu Yu, he is too capable. We all underestimated him.
Princess Lan deserves to be the person who knows him best. Now, we have to find a way to seek peace with Liu Yu. If we ask for peace, we should not attack the more than two thousand prisoners. This is Liu Yu's excuse to send troops. You are extremely resourceful.
How come you can’t understand this?”
The black robe said coldly: "I did not directly give He Lanmin an order to kill the prisoners, but after she gave the order, I felt that this was our best choice at the moment, so I helped the crowd."
Murong Lan curled her lips disdainfully: "The best choice? I think it's just the opposite. Killing innocent prisoners will not only cut off the possibility of peace talks with Liu Yu, but also alienate the Han officials and people of Dayan. You
Do you know what Han Fan, Gao Gai, Feng He and others will think and do now? Dayan is not only a country with Xianbei people, but the Han people are several times larger than us Xianbei people. Do you want them to all turn to Liu Yu? "
Heipao said coldly: "In normal times, we really can't offend the Han people too much for the entire Yan Kingdom. After all, we have to rely on them to recruit soldiers and collect grain. The Xianbei people are not engaged in production and can only fight. They have to coax the Han people to provide for us.
Food and clothing are sufficient. But this time is different. We no longer have a country. At most, we only have Guanggu City. This city cannot accommodate many Han people. After more than 40,000 households from Xianbei came in, these more than 20
Ten thousand people can stay in the city for about a year. Then we only need to consider these Xianbei people."
Murong Lan said disdainfully: "Even if you consider the food reserves in the city and only want to keep the Xianbei people, then just drive the Han people out. Why kill those unarmed Han musicians? After they were captured by you, they have been imprisoned.
In Taixue, we know nothing about the situation in the city. Even if we are released, the military situation in the city will not be betrayed and our defense of the city will be damaged. I can't understand your approach. I can only think that you lost the battle.
, became angry and lost his mind!"
Murong Chao nodded: "I agree with my aunt, National Preceptor, you have always been a wise man, but killing people just to vent your anger will spoil the big thing."
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "You all don't know much about military affairs. Liu Yu won this time because he led his army to cross Daxian and then went deep alone. In military terms, this is a way of putting oneself in a desperate situation, but it can also be done
Let all the soldiers in the army know that if they don't win, they will die, so they unleash the greatest fighting power. And this is what we lack. Without his determination to die!"
A trace of anger flashed in Murong Lan's eyes: "Heipao, are you crazy? You have hope of living, but you want to drag everyone to death? You can run away if you lose, but there are more than 200,000 clan members in the city
What should I do? Don’t you think you’ve done enough harm to Dayan?”
The black robe said sternly: "Guanggu is my last place. I have worked hard to manage the north for decades. If Guanggu is destroyed, all my foundation will be gone. Where else can I go? Do you think that with my character?
Will you accept the ending of stealing your life and hiding in the wilderness?"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "You really wouldn't choose that outcome, but if you cut off the possibility of peace talks like this, do you think you can win and defend Guanggu? I still said what I said, massacre the Han prisoners and cut off all ties with Liu Yu
The possibility of a peace negotiation will not leave our people without a way out. Even if you kill them all, it is just an atrocity on your part. Liu Yu has a clear sense of right and wrong and will only seek revenge on you. If our people surrender, he will not
I will ask questions!"
A hint of cunning pride flashed in the black robe's eyes: "Oh, what if the ordinary Xianbei people get together and kill these Han prisoners, and everyone's hands are stained with blood?"
