Liu Yu curled his lips and looked aside. He saw more than two hundred cavalry running along the moat from the east of the city. It was the Xianbei cavalry brought by Murong Nan this time. Of course, they all wore
Murong Nan was wearing a face mask or a cloth to cover up his appearance. Murong Nan was also wearing an iron mask. Behind the evil face, a pair of clear and bright eyes were shining with light, piercing Liu Yu directly. And beside him, there were
Leading a tall and magnificent auburn war horse without armor, it was the Leopard colt that Liu Yu rode along the way.
Liu Yu walked to Lie Baoju's side with a smile. The horse was humane. He lowered his head and licked Liu Yu's palm. A numb feeling came to him. Liu Yu stroked the horse's mane and turned back to face it.
Xu Yuanlang at the top of the city shouted loudly: "Master Xu, I don't need to take the sergeants outside the city. My men are here, and they are enough to investigate."
Xu Yuanlang nodded: "Okay, then please be careful, Master Liu. If you encounter a large enemy army, don't force it. Come back first."
Liu Yu jumped onto the horse with a smile and sat firmly on the horse's back. The horse neighed, stood upright with both hooves, and stamped heavily on the ground, stirring up a puff of smoke and causing a burst of cheers from the surrounding soldiers and civilians.
Voice.
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan and whispered: "Thank you, Brother Murong, for helping me. I would be a little worried if I took these soldiers from Shouchun City out of the city."
Murong Nan said coldly: "You are probably afraid that these people are not enough to be your brothers, that they will drag you down on the battlefield and prevent you from making achievements."
Liu Yu sighed: "That's not true, but if poorly trained sergeants go to the battlefield, it will be irresponsible for their lives. I can always find a way to run back, but it's hard for them to tell."
Murong Nan sneered and said: "Anyone can tell that the person who came back this time is not a strong enemy, but most likely to ask for surrender. If the enemy army really comes in large numbers, will a smart person like you go there alone?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "So you can see it too."
Without saying a word, Murong Nan started to move forward on his horse. The more than two hundred riders behind him made various whistles, which naturally formed a cavalry marching array. Dozens of cavalry began to move towards both sides of the team.
They spread out in the distance, thinking that they were flanking the cavalry, while more than a dozen fast horses galloped forward, and soon they were dozens of steps away from the group behind them, and gradually disappeared into the end of the galloping road, and as they moved forward
After the attack, the people who had been walking along the same road naturally gave way to the road and walked on both sides, and they were no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning.
While riding slowly, Liu Yu looked back at the city gate. The people who were still in disarray just now began to line up under the guidance of the sergeants outside the city and entered the city in an orderly manner. There was no longer the orderly crowding in and out.
It's much better. It seems that within half an hour, all the people, including those who are still coming on the road, can move into the city.
Murong Nan said coldly: "You shouldn't let them enter the city from here. If the enemy cavalry is really coming, then these people will become their best vanguard to attack the city. Although it is unlikely that the Qin army will attack in large numbers,
As a general, you should maintain calm judgment at all times."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Thank you for the reminder, but if the city gate is closed here and these people are allowed to go around the city, if the enemy cavalry really attacks, then these people will be in danger. Even if I let them go,
They will also take people out of the city and form an array outside the city to block the incoming enemy."
Murong Nan shook his head: "Sometimes I really can't see through you. You are obviously a strong-blooded warrior, but how could you have so much kindness as a woman? In order to protect these thousands of useless old, weak, women and children, you have to let hundreds of
Is it not worth it for a soldier to risk his life?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "In my opinion, every life is important, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. A soldier has one life, and so do the common people. As a soldier, if you are afraid of death, you will not protect your own life."
Compatriots, are you worthy of wearing this military uniform? Aren't our military rations and salaries provided by these useless common people as you said?"
Murong Nan gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped his horse. He stopped so quickly that the people behind him almost hit him. Fortunately, the rider behind him was very skilled in riding. He pulled the reins hard and made the horse jump to the side.
That's why he didn't bump into Murong Nan.
The rider looked surprised, and just as he was about to speak, Murong Nan waved his hand and said in Xianbei dialect: "You go ahead, and when you encounter the enemy, line up in formation and wait for us to come."
Liu Yu sighed, and the cavalry around him passed by him and Murong Nan like the wind. Soon, only the two of them were left behind.
The fleeing people have also disappeared into the smoke and dust in the direction of Shouchun. This place is absolutely empty. On the galloping road, two people and two horses are looking at each other. Murong Nan said coldly: "Liu Yu, you are
Are you lecturing me?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I know that our views cannot be consistent on many things, but this does not affect that we are friends. It is precisely because we are friends that I will tell you my true thoughts."
Murong Nan sneered and said: "It's ridiculous, it's too ridiculous. Liu Yu, let me tell you, in this world, the law of the jungle has always been the law of survival. On the grassland, wolves eating sheep is the law of survival. Whether it is a human or an animal, if you want to survive
If you go on, you have to make yourself stronger, protect yourself, and conquer others. If you are so soft-hearted and always want to protect the weak, it will only make you fail, do you understand?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "I don't think so. People's abilities vary, but God allows everyone to do what they are good at. Not everyone is suitable to be a soldier. Someone has to be a farmer, a businessman, or an official.
To be an official, and to be a soldier, is to protect a country and protect other people from doing what they should do."
At this point, Liu Yu paused: "Just like we join the army and no longer farm or spin cloth, then where will our food and clothing come from? It's the work of these weaklings you mentioned. We don't protect these people.
Then who will farm and weave clothes for us?”
Murong Nan curled his lips, and his eyes behind the iron mask were gleaming: "What if you are unable to protect these weak people? Liu Yu, don't always think that you are the God of War and can be invulnerable. You are still a mortal, and there are still things you can't do.
The thing is, if it is really the Qin army that comes back, can you protect these people? The weak must have the consciousness of being weak. When their country and the army cannot protect them, they can only be robbed and enslaved."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Maybe you Xianbei people are like this, but we Han people don't. As long as I have a breath, I will protect the people I should protect. Murong Nan, if you don't want to, I won't force you.
This is not a military order, you have completed this mission and can leave with your brothers at any time."
