Bai Yu is loud and unafraid of power and power.

The court officials lowered their heads, and Emperor Yuanzhen's eyelids twitched, but the empress dowager burst into tears.

Emperor Yuanzhen was impatient to listen to these, or rather, he was impatient to see the Bai family.

However, the Empress Dowager had already wept on the side. As a son of man and the king, he had to continue to act fairly and sternly.

Hearing this, he said, "I will look at the evidence later, and you can continue."

Bai Yu's Adam's apple rolled away, and his speech slowed down a lot: "Li Xianzhao was defeated all the way and fled Pingcheng with his personal soldiers. Wherever he went, he left the order to open the city to meet the enemy."

"When he was hiding in Pingcheng, the Northern Yan army had not yet reached Pingcheng, so he led his men to plunder the food from Pingcheng and quietly transported it out of Pingcheng."

"These grains were found after they were recovered in Pingcheng and were all returned to the people of Pingcheng. All matters can be verified."

"Later, my father took charge of the battle, and all the eleven men of my Bai family went to the battlefield. When I arrived at Pingcheng, the people of Beiyan had already fought at the foot of Pingcheng."

"The people of Pingcheng are living in poverty, and the enemy has yet to attack, but they have been abused by their own people to live and die, and they are incomplete."

"My father quickly controlled Li Xianzhao and imprisoned his personal soldiers in a cell. While pacifying Pingcheng's common affairs, he led his troops to fight."

Bai Yu paused for a while and continued:

"The people of Northern Yan couldn't capture it for a long time, so they thought of another way, which was to siege Pingcheng, so my father received the news that the people of Northern Yan were swaying down the cliff of Yinshan."

"It happened that at that time, some people in the city disappeared inexplicably. We had just found out that the missing people in Pingcheng were turned from the secret passage to Yinshan."

"So my father decided to lead 60,000 troops to rescue the abducted people while blocking the Beiyan army that was swaying down the rope."

"But this time I go, I will never come back..." Bai Yu's eyes were slightly red.

He took a deep breath and continued: "Pingcheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We will bring 20,000 troops to fight. There will be no problem for a few days."

"But just as we carried the weapons, the soldiers showed signs of weakness all over their bodies. They could only be like melons waiting to be cut, one by one, and one by one, and they were killed by the enemy's sharp blade."

"The more the companions die, the more they are. Seeing that the enemy's army is about to clear all the soldiers, my uncle and my brother stuffed me into the bucket filled with night fragrance and told me that I must find out the truth."

Bai Yu's Adam's apple is getting better and better:

"Later, when the limelight passed, I heard from the enemy that the reason why the 80,000 soldiers were wiped out was that Li Xianzhao and the Beiyan Yingwei who had already been dormant in Pingcheng poisoned the soldiers' food."

"This caused tens of thousands of soldiers to lose their attack power and become lambs to be slaughtered, and eventually the entire army was wiped out. The place where the poison was controlled was in Liancheng. Although it was destroyed by Mingwei, it still left traces, which can be verified."

"As for the dormant Shadow Guard, when Mingwei returned to the court, he came to assassinate. My second sister-in-law Ren was killed by the Shadow Guard with a sword in order to save Mingwei."

Bai Yu did not shed tears, but was so sad that he could not help himself.

He wiped his cheek and continued:

"I only realized that Li Xianzhao suddenly disappeared in the cell while being detained was that he was rescued by the people of Beiyan."

"He grasped the secret of Pingcheng, so he took advantage of this and sold the secret passages to the people of Beiyan to the outside of the city, providing convenience for the people of Beiyan to steal the people as salt-picking labor."

"At the same time, due to the disappearance of the people, part of the defenders' attention was diverted and time was bought for Beiyan to set up the entire plan to control the situation."

"Later, he sold all the relevant information about the soldiers of the Dongling to the people of Beiyan and personally led the people of Beiyan to harm his companions."

"To confirm this, I spent several months pursuing Li Xianzhao's traces until I found him who was fleeing in Beiyan."

"I heard the whole story from him in person, and confirmed that he was the culprit who caused the loss of five cities and the annihilation of 80,000 soldiers!"

As he said that, Bai Yu knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty asks you to decide for the 80,000 soldiers who died unjustly!"

Bai Yu's words were simply stating the facts, not revealing any personal opinions or comments, nor exaggerating any sad emotions.

His words are easy to understand, and even the illiterate eunuch can clearly hear them.

This war is too heavy after all.

Heavy enough to smell sadness and cry when he listens.

It was a chaotic year, and many people had experienced the cruelty of war, so naturally they could imagine under what circumstances were the 80,000 soldiers killed.

The body is soft and weak. The sword he swung could not cut off the enemy at all, and could only welcome death, and died in despair and desolateness.

What a cruel scene that was.

All the ministers with some conscience were choked up.

Only Emperor Yuanzhen, who was above and should empathize the most, still felt that these 80,000 soldiers were just cold numbers.

His thoughts were turning rapidly, and he was looking for the mistakes in Bai Yu's words.
