Chapter 718: The people go out of the city to help each other
The muscles on Huangfu's face jumped, and his pupils contracted suddenly, obviously, this sentence hit his heart, Liu Yu's voice echoed impassionedly in his ears: "General Huangfu, although I am a businessman, I also enlisted in the army in my hometown and joined the army, I remember when I joined the army, the general said when he was training, saying that he wore this military uniform and ate this ration, and he must know that every stitch and thread, every meal and soup are all taxes paid by the peopleThe difference between them and a robber is that their force should be used to protect the people, not to slaughter and loot them, otherwise, what is the difference between man and beast? ”
Liu Yu's voice was deafening, every sergeant could hear it clearly, many people lowered their heads in shame, all the way, after the Jingzhou army entered the territory of Qin, the arson army did not do less to loot, many people went with the crowd to rob property, and even killed people, but afterwards there was also uneasiness in conscience, today to Liu Yu such a face-to-face righteous and awe-inspiring reprimand, there is nothing to say, just the face is flushed, I can't wait to find a crack to get into.
Liu Yu looked at Huangfu and the others without anything to say, raised his voice a little, and continued: "I am a Hu person, my country back then was only a small country in the Western Regions, your Central Plains is known as a state of etiquette, and the Han people are a thousand-year-old civilization. Why is it that even I, a Hu person, know that we must protect the people and not plunder them at will, let alone kill them, but you, as soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, do not understand this truth? ”
Huan Zhen sneered: "Abbas, you really deserve to be a businessman, that mouth can bring the dead to life." However, this is useless, this is not the border of the Jin Kingdom, the people here are the residents of the enemy country, and they have been rebellious and obedient thieves for many years, and when our heavenly army arrives, they do not come out to greet us, and they want to mix up and continue to fight against us. ”
Liu Yu laughed: "Master Huan, I can't imagine that as a descendant of the Huan family in Jingzhou, he can actually say such a thing!" May I ask if this Xingyang has not been the land of China since ancient times? I know that this is the hometown of China since the pre-Qin Shang and Zhou periods, and when the Chu and Han dynasties fought, it was here for a long time, and for thousands of years, this is an important town in the Central Plains, that is, before your Jin Dynasty and Yongjia Rebellion, when you owned the whole country, this is also your core area. Because of the rebellion of the eight kings of your Jin Kingdom, you abandoned the people to the south, and the people here have nowhere to go but to belong to the Hu people who occupy the Central Plains, is this the reason why they should die? ”
Huan Zhen was so angry that his face was red, and he said in a deep voice: "Abbas, you are talking nonsense. I'm talking about the people in the city, and if they don't come out to meet the king, isn't it Diao Min? ”
Liu Yu raised his hand high and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers of Xingyang City, come out, let the Jingzhou disciples and soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty see how you greeted Wang Shi!" ”
A gong sounded at the head of the city, from high to low, it was Liu Zhong beating the gong, calling the people in the city, gradually, some people began to gather at the gate of the city, Wu Fang was stationed with a cane, and these old and weak people in the city helped each other, the Wang brothers carried hunting bows, supported a few old people who were the most difficult to walk, and slowly came out, and Liu Zhong was the smallest, holding a gong in his hand, walking in front, knocking while walking, even if it was these Huan cavalry who killed people without blinking, seeing more than 100 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, it was difficult to walk, Shaped like a skeleton, he couldn't help but be moved.
Liu Yu looked at Huangfu and said: "See, General Huangfu, this is the old and young masters left in Xingyang City, this is the people in Xingyang City, they don't want to welcome Wang Shi, but they don't dare to come out, the world is in chaos, all kinds of chaotic armies, routs, thieves, horse bandits, come here like a marquee, every time you come, it is a wave of looting and massacre, those who have the ability to escape have long run away, only these old, weak, sick and disabled are left to die, today, they don't know that it is the official army of the Great Jin Dynasty, only to see smoke and dust, So frightened, even these dead bodies did not dare to bury them anymore, and ran into the city. Is it their fault that too? ”
Huang Fushi's eyes sparkled: "Abbas, you said that you are a businessman, why do these Xingyang people believe you?" ”
Wu Fangzheng said excitedly: "This general, although these two people are Hu people, they are good people, we have been trapped here for several months, we have not eaten or drunk, we can only wait for death, it is they who came, beckoned us big guys to burn and bury the dead outside the city, to immunize the disease rampant, and then said that they would take us to a place where we could live." You came here just now, we are really afraid of the previous thieves, I don't know if it is the official army and the king, if you are guilty, please punish my old son, but don't implicate the two heroes. As he spoke, he threw away his crutches and knelt down and kowtowed.
The people of Xingyang behind him also knelt down one after another, kowtowing to Huangfu and the others: "General, the two heroes are good people, Wu Fangzheng is right." ”
"Please also ask the general to be gracious and take us away, we are willing to be the people of the Great Jin Dynasty for generations!"
Huangfu raised his eyebrows and raised his hand: "Okay, I believe the words of the fathers and fellow villagers, please get up." ”
A hint of joy flashed on Wu Fangzheng's face, he stood up, Huan Zhen's gaze fell on the Wang brothers who were on the side, and sneered: "Who are these two young men, carrying bows and arrows, and with strong bodies, could it be that they are also the old and weak people in this city?" ”
Wang Rui said loudly: "My brothers are all from Xingyang, a while ago they joined the army, and then the Qin army was dispersed, and we could only go back together, and we met these two heroes on the way, and then followed back to Xingyang." ”
Huan Zhen laughed: "Okay, it turned out to be the remnants of the Qin army, this is a military merit sent to the door, come on, tie up these two enemy soldiers for me, and go back to do military merit!" ”
The Wang brothers' faces turned pale, and they suddenly picked up their bows and arrows, and put them together back to back, and the corners of Huan Zhen's mouth hooked up a cruel smile: "Dare to resist!" I'm not afraid to be small, come here, kill me on the spot! ”
Liu Yu saw that things were going to be bad, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, blocked in front of the Wang brothers, and said loudly: "Wait, I have something to say!" ”
Huan Zhen looked at Liu Yu triumphantly: "Abbas, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, do you want to be nosy?" We can let go of the people of Xingyang City, but these two are genuine Qin troops, don't you know that Dajin and Pseudo-Qin are mortal enemies? These two boys, I don't know how much blood of our Jin army soldiers are stained on their hands, if they don't catch them back, cut out their hearts, and sacrifice the military flag, will it be possible to offer them as ancestors? If you dare to meddle any more, beware that I will order you to be slaughtered together!" ”
