Destiny of crossing

The war was chaotic outside, and the sky was screaming and killing. Fu Jian personally led all the soldiers to stick to the front line and did not return for several days and nights.

Pei Ran stayed alone in the Zixia Palace, only heard his voice but didn't know how the battle was going, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

He went out of the palace many times, but before he left the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards, trying to persuade him, for the sake of his life, but Pei Ran felt, what is the difference between this and house arrest?

He knew that Fu Jian was really afraid that he would be killed by Fu Hong or some of his officials after he went out, but Fu Hong and others were guarding against him.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, he is a general of the Jin Kingdom, and the two countries are hostile, not only do they not understand each other, but they have no friendship at all.

Pei Ran returned to the Zixia Palace angrily, and originally wanted to help Fu Jian with what she had learned, but now...

We just have to wait for Fu Jian to come back!

No, Fu Jian didn't wait, but Fu Hong did.

Pei Ran sat upright, looking at the man in front of him who was about the same age as him, Fu Jian's eldest son, Fu Hong, with complicated emotions.

Fu Hong was dressed in armor, with a knife in his belt, and was covered in blood. It seemed that he had just returned from the battlefield.

He came to Pei Ran in three steps at a time, and looked at Pei Ran fiercely with his blood-red eyes.

Without the slightest fear, Pei Ran looked up at the man in front of him, and asked in a flat tone: "General Fu, how is the battle outside?"

"Thanks to you, the food and grass in the city have been exhausted, and countless people have starved to death. The people have begun to eat human flesh from each other, but you are still well-clothed and well-fed."

Pei Ran was startled when she heard this: "Cannibalism?"

"But—" Fu Hong sneered: "The situation will turn around soon, but don't forget, we still have a trump card in our hands, Sima Yao."

Pei Ran's eyes dimmed unknowingly: "What do you want to do with him?"

"It's not what I want to do to him, what is the purpose of the father to bring him back, didn't Mr. Pei guess?"

Pei Ran said with a sullen face, "I would like to hear the details."

"Murong Chong's troops are approaching the city, and I'm the only one who will fight the trapped beasts until the food and grass run out. Now, it's really hard to reverse the situation with the strength of a single country, but Jin is cooperating with us from the outside. Murong Chong will definitely be unable to escape."

"So, you want to use Sima Yao to negotiate with Jin?"

"Exactly, I have to say, my father's game is brilliant!"

"But do you think the coach of Jin will agree to you?"

"Otherwise? They will just watch their emperor die at our hands? If they don't agree, we will chop their emperor into pieces and send them back. What do you think?"

Pei Ran turned cold and stood up: "Is this your father's idea?"

Fu Hong smiled lightly and remained silent.

"Okay, take me to see your father."

Pei Ran and Fu Hong walked side by side on the streets of Chang'an, seeing a desolate mess accompanied by a strong rancid smell.

Pei Ran wrinkled her nose, and after a while, she saw a few people who had been dead for an unknown amount of time on the side of the road, their bodies were festered, and there was a relatively fresh one surrounded by several people. Several people in the circle actually buried their heads in the dead body's chest from time to time, biting desperately.

One of the children, who seemed to be no more than seven or eight years old, raised his face, widened his innocent eyes, and looked at Pei Ran curiously. He saw that his mouth was full of blood, and the corner of his mouth was still covered with human flesh that had just been bitten off.

Pei Ran's brain was coaxed, and her stomach was overwhelmed.

He turned to the side of the road, throwing up desperately.

The author has something to say:

Although this article is empty, it still follows some historical facts. The siege of Murong Chong led to the exhaustion of food and grass in Chang'an City. In order to survive, the people had to eat the corpses of people who had just died.
