Finally, the porridge in the cauldron was boiled, and bowl by bowl was fished out. The military households also didn't care about the heat, and devoured it.

Although these people were hungry, under the supervision of the officers and soldiers, they lined up to receive porridge in an orderly manner.

The meat that Zhang Yongnian brought was naturally not enough for everyone, and he only gave it to his own people.

Wang Xiao didn't go to eat, he listened to those satisfied purrs, and the anger in his heart decreased slightly.

Then, he swept his eyes and found that a group of more than 200 military households were squeezed aside, and they could not eat a bowl of porridge from beginning to end.

Those people didn't fight, they just shrank to the side and stared at the iron pot expectantly, and there seemed to be some worry in their eyes, as if they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat.

After a while, several of the children walked a few steps to the iron pot, but they were glared at by several military households, and they fled back in fright.

Wang Xiao rode over and asked a soldier, "Why don't you let them eat?" ”

The soldier was startled, holding the bowl in his hand and not daring to respond.

Lu Bang scolded him very doggedly: "Hou Ye asked you something!" ”

"They...... They're Liao......" the soldier muttered.

"What's wrong with the Liao?" Wang Xiao frowned.

The soldier shrunk his shoulders, not knowing how to answer, and looked at Wang Xiao with admiration and fear.

Obviously, the social status gap between the two parties has led to a psychological barrier to communication.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to turn his head and glance at Lu Bang.

Lu Bang hurriedly said: "Lord Hou, this ...... Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Of course, let the Han people eat it first, and then let the Liao people eat it. That's true everywhere. ”

"The Liao people are not of my race?" Wang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Lu Bang was stunned for a moment and muttered, "This and this ......"

Wang Xiao had already ridden his horse to the more than 200 Liao people and asked, "Why don't you go to eat?" ”

Those Liao people were also stunned, looked at each other a few times, lowered their heads and did not dare to respond, one of them was holding a female baby and said: "Hou Hou, let's wait for them to eat first." ”

"There's no need to wait." The king smiled, "Eat." ”

The big man put down the child in his hand, got up and clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

Wang Xiao just nodded, rode his horse to the middle of the field, and when he saw that those Liao people had scooped up porridge and drank, he said: "I have a lot of things to say to you, but I don't know how to speak, so let's start with the topic of 'Liao people'." ”

The military households, officers and soldiers on the field looked up at him one after another.

Especially the more than 200 Liao people, there was still some apprehension in their eyes when they looked at him.

"Just now Lu Qianhu said, 'If it is not my race, its heart will be different', I was very confused." Wang said with a smile: "When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty invaded Goguryeo, the athletes of Hebei and Shanhe sang the "Song of the Death of the Waves of Liaodong without Direction", and they would rather die than conquer Liao, and they said, 'If Liaodong dies, what will be hurt by beheading'." However, just a few decades later, it was these athletes from Hebei and Shandong who enthusiastically joined the army, and they fought from the East China Sea to the Tianshan Mountains. It created a stable foundation for hundreds of years for the prosperous Tang Dynasty at that time. ”

"It was they who threw their heads and spilled their blood to lay the boundaries of our Han nation a thousand years ago, and at that time people called them 'good sons of the borderlands'. After that, their children and grandchildren stayed in the land of Liaodong. ”

Wang Xiaoshou pointed to the two hundred Liao people on the field, and said loudly: "Now, more than a thousand years have passed, and you treat the descendants of these hot-blooded men who have expanded their territory like this?" ”

"Because of the Great Wall, because they live a life of loess to hide their faces, you can call them 'aliens' with impunity?"

"Since the rise of the army, the bullying and criticism of the aiding soldiers have been reckless, and the Liao people have no Ning Yu, and the Liao people hate it; The bankruptcy and sale of the military husband is tired of carts and cattle, and it is two hatreds; to chase prostitutes and merge them, and pull out the room that has been difficult to move for 200 years, for the three hatreds; to collect and surrender and dispose of the people's houses, so that they defile their wives and daughters, and steal food and drink, for the four hatreds! ”

"You are so despising and contemptuous, and you have to ask why they can't hold the land? And why did they defect to the Jurchens who killed almost their entire clan? Have you ever wondered who forced the heroic and territorial warriors of the Han and Tang dynasties into traitors and cowards that you avoid? ”

"Why do you despise them and despise them? With the Chu people living well, the Liao people living a shabby life? If you are poor, you will be despised - is that true? ”

"All talking, yes and no?!"

Silent.

Someone in the Liao ranks whimpered in a low voice.

They have experienced Nurhachi's 'Liao Eradication Order', and they have also experienced the overthrow of the Han people...... This journey has been painful and self-aware, and now most people have long been numb.

But tonight, at last, someone mentioned the glory of their ancestors, and someone stood up to ask them a question—

"Why?!"

The king looked around with a smile, his expression became colder, and he shouted, "You can bully them if you are better off than them?" Then, Tian Honghua and Ma Yongwang, who are more powerful than you, can also bully you at will, you deserve to be exploited, yes or no? ”

There was silence again.

This time, Wang Xiao raised the firearm in his hand, fired a shot at the no-man's land on the river, and shouted: "Answer me!" ”

"Bang"

Everyone was shocked, lowered their heads one after another, and said in their hearts: "This Hou Ye is also too fussful." ”

Even the shepherd was a little inexplicable, and he felt more and more that the superior was moody and elusive.

In fact, Wang Xiao wasn't really as angry as he appeared, but he needed to get the word out.

He needs two hundred Liao people to hear, four hundred Liao people to hear, eight hundred ...... It takes thousands of Liao and Chu people to hear such words. In this way, little by little, try to bring back the hearts that have been scattered.

It's hard. But no matter how difficult things are, only when they are started can there be a glimmer of success......

There was silence for a while.

The more than 200 Liao people couldn't hold back any longer, and they knelt on the ground and cried loudly, as if they wanted to cry out the sorrow of the world at once.

The big man who answered the words before solemnly knelt down in front of Wang Xiao, kowtowed three times and said, "Lord Hou, we can't pay for it when we die...... But please don't have to embarrass us untouchables anymore, at least they treat us much better than the Chu people elsewhere. ”

Wang Xiao had his own ideas in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to such persuasion, but just responded: "You get up, I have a reason to talk about." ”

After he said that, he asked the military households in the audience again: "Answer me, it is natural for the powerful to bully you, yes or no?" ”

"It's not ......," someone in the crowd replied timidly.

Wang Xiao looked at it, only to see a thin young man standing up and kneeling down in front of him.

"Small...... Fang Yongyong, meet Master Hou. ”

Wang Xiao nodded and asked, "Why not?" ”

"Because of Ma Qianhu, they ...... It's not right. ”

Wang Xiao asked again: "Then you are right to bully the Liao people?" ”

Fang Yongyong said in a low voice: "If they can't hold the territory, they are cowards." ”

"Then if one day, Jiannu invades the Great Wall, what will you do?"

"Naturally, it is to drive out the Tartars!"

"What if you can't beat it?"

Fang Yongyong was stunned for a moment, and said with a firm expression: "The little ones will die in battle, and they will never be like them." ”

"Can you die in battle," Wang Xiao pointed to the soldiers kneeling there, and asked, "Then will they all die with you?" ”

He smiled lightly and asked patiently, "If all the Chu Dynasty soldiers can fight to the death with you and never retreat, they will definitely not be unable to defeat Jiannu." But do you think they willing? Let's be honest. ”

Fang Yongyong's eyes were wide, a little confused. It was obviously the first time he had thought about it.

After a while, he said softly, "Little ones don't think they should be." ”

"Why?"

"Because, everyone was bullied like that by Ma Qianhu, they didn't want to sell their lives......"
