Ain left.

Maybe he was used to failure, or maybe he felt that it didn't hurt to fail, but he didn't explain it carefully, and he also decided that the two of them didn't understand anything like their own compatriots.

But this is just his mistake day after day.

"The Hero King doesn't understand people's hearts, but he always thinks about us...... Maybe the universe is terrible, maybe the great forces are terrible, but if we can overcome these difficulties, then we can stand before the king openly and tell him that there is no need to worry about us...... So, let's go, fellow citizens, and when we return, we will be true heroes!"

Sadly, they didn't return, and Ain lost the opportunity to know the truth forever.

Huo Changsheng and Wei Qing understood Ain, but they wouldn't show it easily, this was a habit they developed when they walked in the chaotic Shu Land back then—no matter what, pretend to be stupid first.

"Go for it. ”

Of course, Wei Qing also knew what his nephew's intention was when he asked that sentence at the end.

"Uncle, you're here, what should I do in Shudi?"

The crisis was over, but Huo Changsheng immediately thought of what he didn't have time to ask before.

Even if Wei Qing hardly brought anyone out of Shu, the balance between Shu and Tubo is also-

"Changsheng, how little confidence do you have in us?"

"What?" Huo Changsheng was stunned.

"Do you think it's really ...... they let you come to the north" Jiang Ai's face suddenly appeared in Wei Qing's mind, but immediately he shook his head, letting other people's faces squeeze someone down in his mind, "To protect you? To be precise, do you think they won't guess that you will take the initiative to fight?"

"Then why ......"

"After you left, they held a proclamation facing the entire territory of Shu. ”

……

"Changsheng should be safe now. ”

Hearing Jiang Ai's emotion, everyone was stunned, and Di Jie took out the ruler and smashed it on his head.

"I'll go, I'm dying of pain, what are you doing?"

Because Di Jie fights the five scum, but he is often right, so he orders everyone not to use magic or magic to resist when he is educated, and in the long run, Jiang Ai, who is used to being reprimanded, subconsciously lifted his magic power, and his eyes were dizzy in pain.

"Are you stupid, how could that little ghost of Changsheng honestly hide in the rear, even if he wants to, the situation does not allow it, he is a strong man!" Seeing what Jiang Ai wanted to say, Di Jie went down again, "Don't you say that you naively thought that the war would end when Attila died, not to mention anything else, when Liu Tian was gone, you wouldn't live?"

In the end, this metaphor completely woke up Jiang Ai - he is actually not stupid, he can often be clever and even understand righteousness when he is smart, the problem is that once he thinks about it, he will become as dull as the tip of the horns, fortunately now he is not alone, there is a large group of people to remind him.

What should I do...... Jiang Ai didn't ask such a question, this time he was directly knocked to the ground by the ruler, of course, it was him who took advantage of the situation, he needed to bury his face on the ground and think about it.

And then—

"I've decided, I'm going too. ”

Although it was only such a short word, everyone in Shu showed a smile.

There is no doubt that Jiang Ai wants to play big, and all they can do is to accompany them to the end.

The next day, Jiang Ai issued a proclamation to the entire Shu land.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a request for advice.

"Our country is suffering, we have lost most of the land in North China, but I know that for a long time, the 'we' of our Shu people was just us, but now it is different, and then it will be different. ”

"As for why I made such a decision, there are two reasons. One is that it is not only us who need to defend our homeland, but even some people have lost it, and I hate this kind of thing, and I have experienced it, so I hate it so much that I don't want to see the same thing happen to people who regard us as compatriots. ”

"The second is that the light cannon that fell from the sky was blocked, and our compatriots helped to block it, in fact, we can take many ways to repay them, but unfortunately, we don't have the financial and material resources. ”

"I know that most people may still have a grudge in their hearts, but the principle of our provincial government is not to persecute you, and I know that nothing is more important than defending your family, so I promise that I will definitely spare enough troops to defeat the enemy in the west. And on top of that, I would like you to volunteer. ”

It's over.

But this is not Jiang Ai's temporary intention, isn't Tubo very powerful? Not really, it's just that they occupy an absolute commanding height in the Kunlun Mountains and can be attacked at any time, while the Shu army is difficult to attack, so it seems that Tubo is strong...... In the overall layout of the Great Song Dynasty, they did not attach too much importance to the combat power of Shudi.

Those who don't understand think that they are still resentful, and those who know think that they have understood that Shu will only protect their families, and only let some of the generals who are willing to go out of Shu to support them.

But they can do more than that, they can not only defeat Tibet, but they can do more.

A sense of mission, sympathy, patriotism, in order to repay the kindness? If you say you have all of them, or you don't have them, do you believe in them?

Huo Changsheng's matter was an opportunity, and under the reminder of everyone, Jiang Ai, who was lying on the ground, thought a lot.

His original narrow-mindedness led to the exact opposite result, and the funny thing is that he wanted to do it himself.

Besides, the people of Shudi, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, such people, such things, will there be less?

He felt that he had to do something, as the high-level in charge of Shu affairs, they could not follow the crowd, they could not let the people act spontaneously, the people should be free, but the position of the people was destined to be short-sighted and one-sided, so they had to guide the people.

Sensibility and choice are left to the people, and they only need to rationally analyze the ability of Shudi, and then tell the people what Shu can do and what should be done.

"So, how many people do you think will respond?" Ma Yuan asked.

"A million, right?" Jiang Ai thought for a moment.

"So many?" Ma Yuan pretended to be surprised.

"Exaggeration. Liao Hua was really surprised.

The Great Song Dynasty on the eve of the war totaled one billion people, although Shu is one of the three kingdoms, but the actual population only accounts for one-ninth of the world, of which eighty percent is in Shu, about 100 million people, after the decline of more than 10 million people during the war, due to the war decreased by millions of people, to Liu Tianjiang Ai and others in charge, about 80 million people in Shu.

Different from the earth chronicles, the country of the land of China began to plan elite troops from the Qin period, although the standard of the Three Kingdoms period has been lowered, but the total strength of the Three Kingdoms generally does not exceed six million, and in the Great Song Dynasty, after the elite army is refined again, there are only three million standing armies, and the reserve is less than one million. Now Jiang Ai said that there can be a million volunteer soldiers, which is a joke.

Of course, because only a few years after the end of the civil strife, many civilians are still fighting, but who doesn't want to enjoy peace, and who doesn't want to prioritize defending their homeland......? Liao Hua is indeed not smart enough for others, but he will follow the crowd and observe the expressions of others.

So he found that the smiles of Ma Yuan and Di Jie were very weird.

It's not that Jiang Ai is too beautiful, but-

……

"That's good. Hearing that Jiang Ai let everyone choose instead of being forced, Huo Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, "How many people have signed up in the end." ”

Maybe the top brass of the Northwest Army thought that Shudi's volunteer operation was a joke, so even if they knew the news, they didn't make a big deal about it, after all, there was no hope and no disappointment.

And because there was no momentum, Huo Changsheng also had a preconceived idea.

"I don't know what happened after that, but when I left the CD—"

Although Wei Qing was smiling, his hand on Huo Changsheng's shoulder had an inexplicable heavy feeling.

"About three million people signed up. ”
