This is a path of cannibalism that only occurs when there is continuous famine.
It actually appears in the soldiers who defend their homeland.
What Gu Feibai said next made Gu Yu feel collapsed just listening to it.
Gu Feibai said: "The old and disabled soldiers volunteered to be eaten to prolong the lives of the younger soldiers. I also ate my comrades and cooked them in a hot pot for three hours, but I couldn't get rid of the sour taste."
Gu Yu's teeth were chattering.
She had guarded the city.
She knew how desperate it was to defend the city.
People's hearts have changed, and even she has had the crazy idea of letting prisoners go out to give blunt knives to the rebels.
But at that time, Tongning County was far from reaching its end.
It was midsummer and there was plenty of food and grass. Although Gu Yu spread rumors of massacre in the city, the people were still doubtful.
Men and women voluntarily defended the city and united as one.
But what about Sunset Pass?
The sky there is filled with yellow sand, desolate and lonely, and "it's snowing in August".
Except for the garrison soldiers, no people settled there.
From the autumn harvest to the dead of winter, there was no food, no bedding, and not even a mouthful of clean water.
Hungry people eat people, thirsty people drink snow.
That is what is called having no way to survive and no way to die.
But even in this situation, Gu Jiajun did not take a step back.
They still chose to guard this line of defense, and they still waited for the imperial reinforcements that would never come.
Gu Yu asked with a trembling voice: "Why! Why don't you withdraw!"
Gu Feibai said: "Gu Jiajun will die, but he will not escape."
Gu Yu didn't understand, they didn't understand their sacrifice, and they didn't understand the feelings of family and country.
But she couldn't help but pay her the highest respect.
Gu Yu cried: "Is it worth it?"
Gu Feibai said: "Originally it was worth it, but later, it wasn't worth it."
Gu Yu thought of something and said, "Why doesn't the imperial court send reinforcements?"
Gu Feibai said: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden."
That was a battle that determined the fate of the Yu Dynasty.
The Gu family army has reached its limit, and Xirong has also reached its limit.
Their original intention was to go south to grab food and seize the city, but they were stuck at Sunset Pass.
Can't go in, can't go back.
The sky is full of wind and snow, and not even a blade of grass grows, let alone the people of Xirong?
The Gu Jiajun are feeding their people, and the Xirong people are killing each other.
In the end, the entire Gu family army was wiped out, leaving the Xirong people vulnerable.
The imperial army, on the other hand, could annihilate the Xirong people in one fell swoop with just a little effort, so that they would no longer dare to take advantage of the Yu Dynasty.
Gu Yu said with a pale face: "So, the last Gu family army was trapped and died in Sunset Pass."
Gu Feibai shook his head.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Gu Yu's eyes, but the old lady's tearful reaction showed that it was not that simple.
Gu Feibai said: "It was freezing cold and Shao Wuji arrived late. At that time, there were still more than 8,000 Gu family troops."
Gu Yu quickly asked: "Where did those eight thousand people go?"
Gu Feibai trembled again and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He was too excited and could only bite the tip of his tongue to keep calm.
But this couldn't suppress his hatred, it was even more obvious than the twitching just now.
Doctor Leng stuffed a medicine into his mouth and administered a few more injections.
After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't relax.
The old lady patted his hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Feibai, let me speak."
The old lady looked back at Gu Yu and extinguished the hope in Gu Yu's eyes.
She spoke slowly:
"Kill in a trap."
Gu Yu's soul was severely damaged.
Trap and kill, such a familiar word.
Just a few months ago, Shao Wuji killed 20,000 rebels in Jiangnan.
At that time, she lamented that Shao Wuji's reputation as the "God of Killing" was well-deserved, and she sympathized with the rebels who were once subjects of the Yu Dynasty.
But she was worried and did not write a letter to persuade Shao Wuji.
After all, she had the attitude that it had nothing to do with herself.
Those who were trapped and killed were not my relatives and friends, but the rebels who wanted to destroy the country.
She pities, but won't stop.
But now, hearing these two words again, she felt that everything from her heart to her fingertips was freezing cold.
More than 80,000 Gu family troops withstood the fierce Xirong people, the flying snow in the sky, and the changes in people's hearts.
There were only more than 8,000 people left, and with the hope of countless comrades in arms, they ushered in reinforcements from the court.
They watched as the imperial reinforcements passed over them and drove the Xirong people back to the grassland.
Their bodies and spirits have reached their limits, but they still cheer for it.
But when Shao Wuji came back from the grassland, he raised his sword and pointed it at them.
Gu Yu shook her head, she couldn't believe it.
I can't believe the truth can be so cruel.
Gu Yudao: "But according to the Di report, weren't the 30,000 Xirong people killed by Shao Wuji in Lueyiguan?"
The old lady said: "Yes."
Gu Yugang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the old lady continued: "The Xirong people and the Gu Jiajun were buried in the same mass grave."
Gu Yu trembled and said: "No, it shouldn't be like this, how could it be like this? This is not true, how can this be the truth! My father, he should have died in battle and died for the country, this is not true
.”
The old lady knelt in front of Gu Yu and said sadly: "No one believes this fact, Yu'er, but you have to believe it. It was your uncle Fei Bai who was buried shallowly when Shao Wuji threw him into the mass grave, and he was able to escape from the mountain of corpses.
In the sea of blood, I climbed out of three feet of snow. From Sunset Pass, I climbed all the way to Kyoto.
He was seriously injured and had to use fire to disfigure his face to prevent others from recognizing him. In the cold winter, with three feet of snow, his feet were frozen and disabled. Only when he climbed to the city near Yongxue Pass did he learn about the imperial court.
The reinforcements have arrived a long time ago, but they have been delayed in going to Sunset Pass for reinforcements.
He held his breath and begged along the road. A hero of his generation, he became a monster that everyone beat up. When he climbed to Gu's house, his legs were bone-white, and his body was covered with frostbite and necrotic flesh. He said he was Gu Feibai, but no one believed him.
, the servant kicked him down the steps.
Fortunately, Patriarch Gu went out and saw this scene. He felt pity for a moment and went over to take a look. Gu Feibai exposed the birthmark on his shoulder, which convinced Patriarch Gu that he was indeed Gu Feibai, the young silver gun general. Only then did he bring back the truth.
Shao Wuji's soldiers and horses went deep into the grassland, captured more than 20,000 Xirong people, and brought them back to Sunset Pass. Gu's army had no time to ask why the reinforcements were so late, before they were captured and killed by Shao Wuji's soldiers.
Yu'er, your father hated the Xirong people so much that he wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood. But in the end, your father and the Gu family army were killed by the imperial army that he worked so hard to protect.
The strong-willed man of my Gu family was finally buried together with the Xirong people they hated so much. In the Gu family's ancestral grave, there is only a pair of your father's clothes. But the Gu family army stationed elsewhere did not know the truth.
Under the control of Shao Wuji."
Gu Yu collapsed to the ground, and Leng Liu stiffened his body, put his arms around Gu Yu's shoulders, and let Gu Yu lean into his arms.
The old lady yelled at Gu Yu and said, "Gu Yu! Your father is wronged! The Gu family army is wronged!"
