Zhi Yanzhi, like all the people, opened his eyes wide with excitement, and his voice trembled a little because of excitement: "Really, Lord Liu, you didn't lie to us, will this Shouchun City really stick to it?" ”

Liu Yu nodded affirmatively: "I came to Shouchun on the orders of Xie Zhenjun to help guard Shouchun, if Xie Zhenjun doesn't guard here, why do you want me to come?" ”

Someone in the crowd said, "No, Lord Liu, didn't you come to escort a certain young lady from a family to marry Gongzi Huan?" ”

Liu Yu sighed: "That's just a purpose for me to come, now there is an accident, Gongzi Huan unfortunately died, but I still stayed, doesn't this just prove that I came to Shouchun this time, not just to send relatives?" ”

Zhu Lingshi's immature voice sounded behind Liu Yu: "We can prove that Brother Liu really helped us defend the city in Shouchun this time." ”

Everyone's eyes looked behind Liu Yu, and they saw two strong young men who were more than six feet tall, but their physique was beyond their age, wearing leather armor, not far from Liu Yu's left and right, could it be Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi's brothers?

Xu Yuanlang's face changed, and he looked at Liu Yu: "Master Liu, what's going on?" Aren't these two boys supposed to be in jail? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Lord Xu, the Zhu family brothers are the sons of Jiangmen, the country is in trouble, take the initiative to ask Ying to help, they have realized their mistakes, this time they are by my side, and they want to make meritorious service and atone for their sins." ”

Xu Yuanlang's brows furrowed, he took two steps forward, and whispered in Liu Yu's ear: "Master Liu, these two boys killed Gongzi Huan, in case they run away, we can't afford it." ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said: "I believe in my vision, the Zhu family has always been grateful and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and now that the country is in trouble, the Zhu brothers will never run away." If such a thing happens, I will bear all the consequences. ”

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the Zhu brothers burst into tears with excitement, their lips trembling slightly, but they couldn't say a word.

Liu Yu's eyes were blazing, he looked around, and said calmly: "Brothers, whether you are soldiers, or the people of Shouchun, or the refugees who have taken refuge in the south from the north, they are all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they are all the sons of the Han family who are unwilling to be conquered and ruled by Hulu, now we are here, there are city walls to protect us, even if the Hu people outside the city have thousands of troops and horses, they do not want to enter the city one step, only in the city, we are safe, if you are afraid and want to flee for your life, I Liu Yu will never stop you, but you have to think clearly, Can these two legs run faster than a four-legged Hu Qi! ”

Many people lowered their heads in shame, Liu Yu said all the fears in their hearts, indeed, seeing that Hu Ren was powerful, many people began to fight Xiao Jiujiu who fled out of the city, and today's conflict in the city is not precisely because of the total outbreak of fear and resentment?

Liu Yu looked at Yan Zhi, and said: "To Yan Zhi, you are from Pengcheng and don't want to be ruled by the Qin army, so you went all the way south, and when you arrived here, you were forcibly incorporated into the sequence of defending the city, like you, you are not a soldier, nor are you a citizen of Shouchun, we have no right to keep you, if you want to leave, you can leave now!" ”

Xu Yuanlang's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "No, according to General Xu's general order, all Ding Zhuang in the city have to stay and help defend it." ”

Liu Yu waved his hand: "Lord Xu, the soldiers are not expensive, rather than leaving people who have no will to fight here to make up the numbers, it is better to leave people who are willing to shed blood and sacrifice, at least they can be relied on at critical times." When they arrived at Yanzhi, they were refugees who went south, and they were not among the levies of the Great Jin military system, and it was not in accordance with military law to force them to stay. ”

Zhi Yanzhi gritted his teeth and straightened his chest: "Lord Liu, we are not soft eggs, if we are afraid of death, we will not go south, what I am angry with is that we retreat again and again, but we dare not fight with Hu Ren in a dignified manner." Even if you die on the battlefield, it's better than carrying a sandbag here! ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly and looked at Yan Zhi: "Brother Zhi, have you ever studied the art of war?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi was slightly stunned and shook his head: "I am a farmer, I don't know a few big characters, how can I know what art of war?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Okay, I can tell you now, the art of war is cloudy, when the enemy comes, if the foothold is not stable, as the defender of the city, you can attack appropriately to frustrate the enemy's spirit." If it was yesterday, when the Qin army first came, we would have gone out of the city to fight, and maybe we could have won a small victory. ”

Zhi Yanzhi laughed: "It's not too late to get out of the city now, Lord Liu, you give the order, I am willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Brother, don't worry, what I just said is that if we go out of the city yesterday, we may win, but today it is impossible." You see, the Qin army came with light cavalry yesterday and quickly set up camp, and now their defense has been solid, and they occupy the hill to the north, condescending, at this time our every move will be in the sight of the enemy, even if we go out of the city to fight, before opening the city gate, they will find out, when the time comes, we will face their strong camp with infantry, there is no possibility of victory! ”

Zhi Yanzhi sighed: "I can't imagine that even the invincible hero Liu Mansion will not dare to go out of the city to fight." ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "This is not a question of whether you dare or not, but a question of whether it is necessary, what is needed to fight a war is victory, not the courage of blood." If you lose your strength by the courage of a vain man, and lose your troops for a while, not only will you not be able to defeat the enemy, but you will not even be able to hold the city. Our advantage is that the city is strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, and the disadvantage is that the number of enemy troops is large, and our troops are insufficient, so if we want to hold Shouchun City, we must unite as one, stick behind the city wall, and use all means to defend the city to repel the siege of the Qin army! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at Zhi Yanzhi and said, "Brother Zhi, if the Qin army kills the head of the city, do you dare to fight them in close combat?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi laughed and patted his chest: "No problem, when I work hard, I will definitely let go of Yanzhi!" ”

Liu Yu smiled and looked behind Yan Zhi: "Is it, can everyone be open-minded?" I don't think so. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people lowered their heads, not daring to face Liu Yu's sharp gaze.

Xu Yuanlang sighed: "Lord Liu, after all, they are people's husbands, they are common people, untrained, they want them to fight hand-to-hand in the city, desperately, is it too demanding?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said word by word: "If you want to keep Shouchun, you have to work hard together, there is no distinction between sergeants and people, everyone is a warrior!" ”
