Tuoba Yaoheng was shocked by her sudden burst of anger. He fell silent, unable to respond.
Liu Fang said with a cold face: “Actually, I understand your difficulties. However, what I can’t understand is: Why can you let the people from other countries bear the pain because of your own difficulties? And it has lasted for so long, generation after generation? Could it be that you won’t have nightmares when you wake up at night? Do you never think of your wife, children, and relatives? When you behead others, have you ever thought that one day, others might do the same to you? When you are killing or even robbing other people’s wives and children, have you ever thought that one day, others will rob your wives and children like this and make them slaves? ”
Tuoba Yaoheng looked at Liu Fang, unable to respond to her aggressive questions. For the first time, he even considered her words seriously.
Suddenly, he realized that it was understandable that the people of Dayan Kingdom hated them so much.
However, the fight between the two countries has never been right or wrong.
They were just trying to survive.
They just want to make their people live a better life.
But Liu Fang continued, “So, this time, I took all your so-called barbarian warriors to the wasteland to clear up the wasteland. Tell me,in such harsh winter months, under these conditions, they have no food to eat, no farm tools, how are they supposed to cultivate the land? How will they survive with just their bare hands?”
Tuoba Yaoheng’s eyes widened in disbelief, “How could you…”
Liu Fang sneered and interrupted him, “Why can’t I? When you were enslaving the people of Dayan Kingdom, and the citizens of Liucheng, you never thought: How could you? Oh, now, it is your people who are suffering, and it is your soldiers who are being enslaved. You came and asked me, how can you do that? Hmph, let me tell you, I can! I have always treated my enemies, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! Are you still telling me about repaying grievances with kindness? Third Prince, do you think I am a fool? Am I easy to coax? ”
If a five hundred thousand army really treated these barbarian captives as human beings and treated them favorably in every way, wouldn’t she be the one in trouble in the end?
Besides, why can the barbarians enslave them, but they can’t enslave the barbarians?
Finally, Liu Fang relied on the other party’s carelessness to defeat them and capture them.
Would you still talk about moralism to people like them? Repaying grievances with kindness?
Then all the deaths and all the blood that has been shed in Liucheng for two hundred years have been in vain?
Liu Fang wanted these bastards to know that she won’t let them off easy.
impossible!
Absolutely—not—possible!
At least for now, it’s impossible!
The father’s debt was repaid by the son, and the blood debt owed by the ancestors must be repaid by the descendants who have enjoyed the glory of their ancestors!
Didn’t barbarians look down on the Dayan people? Didn’t they regard the people of Dayan and the people of Liucheng as pigs and dogs?
Then she would let these people have a taste of what it feels like to be treated like a pig or a dog!
Presumably, they were now able to reflect on what they have done.
If the pain wasn’t experienced firsthand, they’ll never understand the pain of others..
She had already decided. No matter how much pain the enemy caused her, she would return it and let them taste this pain too!
Tuoba Yaoheng was questioned by her so hard that his face turned pale and he was speechless.
After a while, the sky outside began to get dark, and candles were lit by the guard inside the room, before Tuoba Yaoheng came back to his senses.
He looked at Liu Fang, who still had a cold face under the light, with burning anger in her eyes, and said, “So, what exactly did you do to them this time?”
Liu Fang calmed down her anger, regained her composure, and said, “I didn’t do anything. My prescription is very good, so I gave them a taste. If they court disaster themselves, you can’t blame me.”
She didn’t let her subordinates kill these people because it wasn’t worth it. They were madmen, and we were human beings. Should we become madmen like them for these people?
Liu Fang would not do this.
Let alone let the people of Liucheng become such people.
In war, victory or defeat stayed on the battlefield. When off the battlefield, even if they were enemies, there was no need to kill them.
Not out of kindness, but to keep one’s hands clean.
She has ten thousand ways to punish these bastards, so why let her own people become bloodthirsty killers?
Besides, she felt that keeping them alive like this and torturing them could comfort the martyrs who had guarded Liucheng for generations, and also allow the people of Liucheng to ease their hatred.
Liu Fang knew that in the eyes of the barbarians, she was also a devil.
But, it doesn’t matter.
Her mission this time was to become a demon that will scare the barbarians!
She just wanted to make them completely afraid of her, trembling in fear, always on edge, never finding peace even in their dreams!
She aimed to crush their pride, their spirits, and utterly defeat them!
Never again dare to invade Liucheng or the border of the Dayan Kingdom!
Therefore, she was willing to take the role of devil and enjoy it!
Speaking of Liu Fang’s medicine, Tuoba Yaoheng recalled the night he had experienced with his eldest brother and third uncle.
After being captured again by Liu Fang, on the night they came back, the soldiers here gave them a bowl of extremely bitter medicine.
Then they kept feeling pain all over their bodies, the pain was so painful that their bones were “clicking”, they almost collapsed and went crazy!
Throughout the night, the three strong men could not bear the pain. In the end, they lay on the ground weak, dripping with cold sweat.
The next day, they couldn’t get up at all throughout the entire day.
It wasn’t until half a month later that they recovered from the unforgettable pain.
Only then did he finally remember that they still had the poison Liu Fang gave them.
Even if they escaped, there was no guarantee they would ultimately survive!!
Only then did he understand why the other party would let them leave and escape…
Tuoba Yaoheng closed his eyes and said weakly to Liu Fang: “I don’t understand, why do you do this?”
Liu Fang raised her eyebrows, not understanding what he meant.
“Are you poisoning and torturing our soldiers just to take their lives?”
Tuoba Yaoheng opened his eyes and looked at her and said, “If there is anything else, tell me once and for all, okay?”
Is this a change of strategy? Hmm.
Liu Fang smiled, “Third Prince, you don’t have to act like this. You and I both know the purpose of what I do.”
Tuoba Yaoheng’s eyes narrowed, he stared at her intently, and suddenly said with emotion, “I’m really afraid of you!”
She was still so young, yet possessing such intellect, formidable martial prowess, and ruthlessness. The most important thing was that she has now become the most prestigious person in the Dayan Kingdom besides the emperor.
Such people were really scary!
Moreover, judging from the other party’s intentions, she was planning to keep guarding the western border. This would definitely be a disaster for them!
Liu Fang did not comment on his sentiments. She stood up and prepared to leave.
Tuoba Yaoheng asked again, “If my third uncle hadn’t been fooled that day and charged straight at you, what method would you have used to stop him?”
Liu Fang stood still, turned her back to him and said, “It’s very simple. There was actually more than one trap on that road that day.”
Tuoba Yaoheng stared, “How did you do that?”
Liu Fang turned around, smiled at him, and said, “Guess.”
Tuoba Yaoheng:…(ー_ー)!!
Seeing that she really had no intention of explaining, he stopped pestering and asked about other things, “This time, when you went to the capital, do you think you can get preferential treatment?”
Liu Fang simply smiled this time and said nothing.
Seeing this, Tuoba Yaoheng finally gave up and asked no more questions.
Liu Fang turned around and walked away. Before leaving, she said: “Third Prince, our outcome is clear this time. I look forward to facing you again next time.”
Tuoba Yaoheng was immediately shocked and turned to look at Liu Fang who had walked away. How did she know that he was the real commander in chief of this battle?
Liu Fang said: I have known about it for a long time, it is easy to guess. ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
She knew it the first time she met Tuoba Yaoheng and Tuoba Gangzheng.
——Otherwise, a person like Tuoba Gangzheng would not naturally stand up, change positions, and sit behind him.
——Other than him being the leader, what else could it be?
In her first mission, Liu Fang stayed with her mother, Madam Liu and learned a lot. What impressed her most was that details can reveal everything and determine everything.
In ancient times, the hierarchical system was strict, and everyone had to carefully adhere to their social status and behave in accordance with it.
Especially the nobility.
Respect for elders and hierarchy were both very important..
So, when an elder like Tuoba Gangzheng makes an action that was completely inconsistent with the norms of the present day, it means that this action has been done for many years, at least it was what he was accustomed to.
Such a move would allow Liu Fang to ascertain that Tuoba Yaoheng’s status in the barbarian tribe of Tuoba clan was second only to Tuoba Khan.
Well then, in such a crucial battle. As the commander of the five hundred thousand supporting army – Tuoba Gangzheng himself acknowledging Tuoba Yaoheng as the leader – then wasn’t it logical to speculate that he was effectively the commander-in-chief?
In the final analysis, they actually didn’t pay enough attention to Liu Fang from the beginning, and that was why they inadvertently showed those habitual little gestures in front of her.
Presumably after this battle, they won’t repeat their mistake.
Liu Fang also understood that the reason why she could repeatedly defeat the barbarians this time was not due to her own abilities. It was because they hadn’t yet broken free from their habitual ways and still maintained a contemptuous attitude towards her, which allowed her to succeed again and again.
It would be impossible to catch them off guard like this again in the future.
But it didn’t matter. She didn’t expect to keep defeating them so easily indefinitely anyway.
The days ahead were still long. They’ll just have to wait and see.
