Those people who failed to join the Suzaku Army petitioned in front of the Le'an County Ya. Liren walked up to these hot-blooded young men and old men with excitement and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Yang Liren, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Army, and I came to visit you today. ”

As soon as Liren's words fell, the crowd below suddenly erupted, and they all shouted loudly: "Chief! Let me join the Suzaku Army, and see how strong I am. ”

"Chief, look at me! You see, I can eat a big bucket in one meal! A fat, muscular young man said.

Suddenly, one continued: "Chief! If you look at him, you will know how to eat, and if you look at me again, thin is thin, but it is all flesh and bones. ”

"My mother said, you have strength to eat it, so take me, leader." The fat man just said.

Li Ren looked at at least fifty or sixty thousand people shouting excitedly at him, took the megaphone handed by the guards and shouted loudly below: "Fellow villagers, fathers and elders. Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me. This sentence was shouted three times in a row, and only then did the people below gradually quiet down.

"Folks~! Dear fathers~! I know that everyone welcomes us in the Suzaku Army, but everyone also knows that if you all join the army, who will grow the food? If there is no food, then we cannot lead everyone to overthrow the bullying of the landlords and bullies, nor can we lead everyone to find freedom. With excitement, he didn't care whether the people in the audience could understand it or not, and recounted the voice of a leader in his familiar words.

At this time, the voice in the audience said loudly: "Chief! My mother said that you can only have food if you follow. ”

Rihito waved him to quiet down and said, "Yes! Everyone wants to find something to eat, but the army is different from the people, if the people don't grow food, then there is no food to sell. There is no grain to sell, so what do our fighters eat? ”

"Chief! Won't you go for it? A humble voice said.

"To the one just now, aren't we going to rob it? Then let me ask you, who is robbing? Rihito asked the people.

The honest voice sounded again: "Of course go and rob those who are officials, and those who are not benevolent to the rich!" ”

Li Ren laughed and said, "Yes, we can go and rob them, but after robbing them, the food will be eaten again." Who are we going to rob? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound under them, and the hearts of the people suddenly remembered the time when those officials and soldiers did evil.

Li Ren looked at the inquiring eyes of the people below, picked up the megaphone and said to them: "Now everyone is silent, it seems that everyone knows." Right! You are thinking very right now, when you have finished snatching and eating the food of the officials. Then it will be your turn as good people. After speaking, he looked at all the people below with sharp eyes, and said: "But the purpose of our Vermilion Bird Army is to rather starve to death than rob the people of a piece of grain, and not take a needle and thread from the people in vain." Because we are the army of the people, not the army of the imperial court that puffs up for our own pockets. ”

The people below immediately talked about it, and many people finally understood why the Suzaku Army did not expand its recruitment. But there are still many people who are not dead and are still waiting. At this time, Liren said again: "Folks! I know that everyone is very enthusiastic, and I want to say here that even if you go home to farm, you are also a member of my Suzaku Army, because without the food you sell, we will not have the strength to defend these hard-won lands for everyone, and without the food you sell, there will be thousands of warriors who come to fight for freedom~! Speaking of which, Rihito looked at the people who were still waiting in the audience very excitedly.

Everyone in the audience finally understood, and then someone asked: "We also want to grow food to do our part for the Suzaku Army, but we don't have land, what can we use to grow food?" ”

"Rest assured, when you return home, someone will contact you and get you a piece of land and food that will allow you to survive this period of scarcity. Go back, folks, there will be someone in your village who will tell you everything about our Suzaku Army, and you will have the opportunity to become a Suzaku Army soldier at home. Rihito is feeling a little tired now, but the excitement in his heart cannot be concealed.

One by one, people went to their homes with disappointment and joy. Li Ren watched these people leave one after another, and said with emotion: "Our Chinese people are kind!" ”

At the end, there was another person standing there, and Rihito walked up to him and asked, "Why don't you go back and get a field?" ”

"I know, you are the leader who just shouted, you ask me, I will say. I'm called Dasha, my hometown is at war, I came from the refugees, my mother died along the way, my father also died, and now I'm the only one left. I don't have a place to go, I know that your army recruits, I came to join the army, but people say I'm too fat, don't want me. I thought of coming here to meet you and said. Although I am fat, I have strength, and I can resist 800 catties at a time. Saying that, this man who was more than two meters tall and slightly obese walked to the stone lion in front of the county yamen, grabbed the stone lion with one hand and shook it, and reached into the bottom of the seat with the other hand, "Hi~!" With a force, the stone lion of several hundred catties was suddenly lifted by the man. The man walked back and forth three times in front of the county yamen, and then "boom~!" With a thud, he put the stone lion back in its place.

The guards next to Liren were stunned and said to Liren: "Lord! I think this guy can ask for it! "That's right! I also think that it is better to come to our personal guard, so as to increase the strength of the protection of the lord. ”

Li Ren laughed, clapped his palms and said to Dasha, "Okay! Stay, stay with me, and be my guard! ”

Dasha walked up to Liren and asked with a smile, "What do you mean by a guard?" Will this job keep me fed? ”

Liren liked this dasha a little, patted his arm and tilted his head to him and said, "I can feed you as much as you can, and I will give you as much as you can eat!" ”

When Dasha heard that he could eat enough, he immediately jumped up like a child and laughed loudly and shouted, "Mother! Daddy! Listen, I have something to eat, and I am full! Parents! Can you hear me? ”

As Dasha said this, Liren's eyes were a little sour, and he immediately asked the guards to lead the man, but he walked in front and no longer wanted to say a word.

Back in the county office, Liren instructed the guards: "Go!" Call me the tailor in the city and make me a suit for Brother Dasha. Then let the master in charge of armor making make clothes and armor for him. ”

The guards were ordered to go down. Rihito said to Dasha, "Dasha! What's your last name? ”

"My father and my mother didn't tell me, I don't know!" Dasha is still that naïve, standing and saying to Liren.

Rihito saw that Dasha was still standing, and immediately ordered him: "Dasha! Just sit down and talk. ”

"I don't sit down, my mother said that if someone wants me, I must stand and answer people's words, or I don't respect people." Dasha said innocently.

Rihito stood up and walked in front of Dasha, then looked up at him with an unhappy look and said, "Dasha! Are you not listening to me? Did your mother say that you must be obedient, what people say is what they say? ”

"Yikes! How do you know that my mother said these things to me? Dasha said with questions.

Rihito didn't answer, he immediately said to him, "Dasha! I now order you to sit down! ”

"Oh! Then you want me to sit down, and I will sit down. After Dasha replied honestly, he carefully sat down in the chair. At this time, Dasha's stomach suddenly gurgled, and he said directly: "I'm hungry, does the leader have anything to eat?" ”

Rihito smiled at his honest expression, and then instructed the guards: "Go and get food for Brother Dasha, remember to get more." ”

After a while, the guards walked in with a wooden barrel, and a maid walked behind with a food box. Rihito took Dasha to the dining table next to the hall, and waited for the maid to finish serving the food and serve the meal. He said to Dasha, "Eat! You can eat as much as you can, and you're welcome. ”
