Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

When Liu Xiu and his party entered the city, Zong Tong also ran down the city wall quickly.

When he came to Liu Xiu's approach, he asked urgently, "General Liu, how is the situation outside now?" I'm in Yuncheng, the news is closed, and I don't know anything about the situation outside. ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand to Zong Tong and said: "More than 400,000 Mang troops have entered Yingchuan, and Wang Yi has led more than 100,000 former troops to pass Xiangcheng and is approaching Kunyang!" ”

Zong Tong gasped and muttered, "Our army doesn't have many troops in Kunyang!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "There are less than 15,000 people. ”

Zong Tong swallowed his saliva, there are less than 15,000 people, and if he has to fight against more than 100,000 reckless troops, can this battle still be fought? He asked, "What about ...... What does it mean to become a prince? Fight or withdraw? ”

Liu Xiu said categorically: "Fight! ”

Zong Tong's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect that when it came to such a life-and-death, Wang Feng's choice was not to withdraw the troops, but to stay in Kunyang and fight to the death with the Mang army. "That'...... Is General Liu coming to Yuncheng? ”

"I was ordered by Chengguo Gong to go to Yuncheng and Dingling to recruit people, and then cooperate with Kunyang to attack Wangyi!" Liu Xiu Zhengse said.

After a pause, he asked, "General Zong, how many soldiers and horses are there in Yuncheng now?" ”

Hearing this, Zong Tong smiled bitterly, stretched out three fingers, and said, "When General Wang returned to Kunyang, he only left me three hundred brothers. ”

There were only three hundred people. Liu Xiu frowned secretly and said, "General Zong, we have to hang out a notice overnight to recruit strong men in the city. ”

Zong Tong shook his head weakly and said: "During this time, the recruitment notice has always been there, but there are very few people who are willing to join the army. ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "We don't have much time left, tomorrow, you and I will go to the city to mobilize in person." ”

Zong Tong didn't have much hope, if the people of Yuncheng were willing to join the Han army, they would have come to join the army a long time ago, so why wait until now?

He sighed and said, "Let's try it for now!" In the current situation, you and I can only do our best and obey the fate of God. ”

Zong Tong is a person with good martial arts and ability, but his temperament is relatively weak, and he is a person who can't make up his mind. When encountering things, they never come out, but they belong to the grass on the wall, and they will fall to which side when they see the wind is strong.

His weak temperament is very much liked by Liu Xuan, in the green forest system, Zong Tong, who is not a brilliant person, was named a hussar general by Liu Xuan.

That night, Liu Xiu and others stayed in the military camp in the city, and early the next morning, Liu Xiu asked Zong Tong to invite all the patriarchs of the Shi clan in the city.

The fastest way to recruit people is to ask the local scholars to contribute, first of all, the scholars themselves have a lot of human resources, and secondly, the prestige of the scholars among the people is quite high, and the attitude of the scholars can also directly affect the attitude of the people.

After receiving the invitation sent by Zong Tong, the Yuncheng Shi clan was still considered to give face, and those who were invited were invited.

Regardless of whether the Yuncheng scholars have a good or bad impression of the clan, after all, now that Yuncheng is controlled by the Han army, they have to give some face to the clan.

What the Yuncheng scholars didn't expect was that in the Han army barracks, they not only met Zong Tong, but also Liu Xiu.

In fact, the impression of the scholars on the generals of the Green Forest Department is generally biased, and on the contrary, the impression of the Liu clan is excellent.

Actually, this is also very understandable. The Green Forest Army was born in the grassy and reckless, the lowest level of society, after they got into trouble, the scholars from all over the country have become their key targets, and the scholars will naturally not treat the people from the Green Forest Army too much.

The internal structure of the Zhu Tianjun is much more complicated, with people from the bottom like Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, as well as nobles like Liu Zhi who were born in the Hou Mansion.

In general, most of the Liu clan relatives are from the scholar family, and their attitude towards the scholar clan is naturally soft, co-opting, and united, so the scholars from all over the country have a natural sense of closeness to the Liu clan, and even very supportive.

Knowing that the young man in front of him was Liu Xiu, the patriarchs of the Shi clan were all surprised and delighted, and they bowed their hands one after another, saying: "It turned out to be General Wen, disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

Liu Xiu returned the salute to the patriarchs of the Shi clan, and said: "Xiu came to Yuncheng this time, due to the urgency of the matter, the time is urgent, and I can't visit you in person, and I also ask you gentlemen to do a lot of Haihan." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he won the great favor of the patriarchs of the clan present, and everyone present was greatly benefited.

People nodded secretly, although the Liu clan relatives of Liu Xiu's lineage have fallen to the point of relying on cultivated land to make a living, but after all, it is the bloodline of Gaozu, as the so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the children of mice are born to make holes, as the old saying goes.

"Oh, General Wen is too polite, saying this, it's really embarrassing for me to wait!" The patriarchs of the Shi clan bowed one after another.

Liu Xiu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, please take a seat." ”

After some greetings, Liu Xiu also recognized two relatives of the Liu family among the patriarchs of these scholars, and everyone talked happily. After a while, feeling that the atmosphere was good, Liu Xiufang cut to the chase, and said: "Wang Mang is harsh, mediocre, the people of the world, suffer deeply, displaced, starving all over the wilderness, now, the world is in chaos, the heroes rise together, only the orthodoxy of the Han family, the most popular people, can end the troubled times, unify the world, but the hundred-legged insects, death is not stiff, now Wang Mang sent a large army, into Yingchuan, want to fight to the death with our Han army, when the survival is critical, I hope that you gentlemen can help each other, Kuang Fu Han family, build

Blessing the world, the show is here, grateful! As he spoke, Liu Xiu stood up and bowed to the ground to the patriarchs of the various clans present.

The patriarchs of the Shi clan present looked at each other and thought for themselves.

If these words came from the mouth of the sect, they would not pay attention to them, and they would definitely find all kinds of excuses to excuse themselves, but Liu Xiu, who was a relative of the Han family, said these words, but they were deeply moved.

The patriarch of the Liu clan, who had recognized his relatives with Liu Xiu, stood up and said, "General Wen has something to ask for, and we will definitely donate generously and help you!" ”

"yes!" Another patriarch of the scholar clan got up and said, "If the clerk general asks me to donate money and food, just ask!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at the two of them and said, "Gentlemen, what our army lacks at present is not money and food, but people. If you gentlemen are willing to donate your servants and slaves at home, you will be doing my Han army a great favor! ”

Hearing this, the faces of the patriarchs of the Shi clan present softened a lot, for them, in the troubled times, the most important thing is people.

There are too many displaced people in the world who are willing to be slaves, as long as they are willing to give them food, are they still worried that they can't find them?

The patriarch of the clan laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? When did General Wen ask for someone? ”

"The sooner the better!"

"I'll bring someone here at noon!"

"Me too!"

"It won't take more than noon, I'll bring people when I go home!"

Look at the patriarchs of the Shi clans who are scrambling, and then look at Liu Xiu who is standing with a smile, and the sect on the side is chattering, which is quite unpleasant.

When these patriarchs of the clan saw him, although they were also polite and polite, he could feel that people looked down on him in their hearts.

But after they saw Liu Xiu, their attitude became completely different, they were still polite and polite, but in this politeness, they were a little more sincere, and when they saw Liu Xiu, it was like seeing their relatives.

With such a big difference in treatment, Zong Tong is also very unbalanced in his heart, but there is no way, whether it is among the people or among the scholars, the prestige of the Liu clan is indeed high, which is far from being comparable to people from the green forest.

After the patriarchs of the Shi clan said goodbye, they returned to their homes, and when it was nearly noon, the patriarchs of the Shi clan came to the Han army camp with their slaves at home.

Some people brought 20 or 30 slaves, and some of the Dashi tribes brought 60 or 70 slaves.

If you look at it alone, it seems that the number of slaves brought by each person is limited, but when you gather a small number of slaves, you can bring together all the slaves brought by the patriarchs of the noble clan, and there are more than 600 people.

You must know that the strength of the Han army stationed in Yuncheng is only about 300 people in total, and now there are more than 600 strong slaves, and the strength is close to 1,000 people at once.

Liu Xiu gathered these slaves in the school military field and examined them carefully.

They all did rough work in the mansions of the various clans, and although they were tall and short, fat and thin, each of them had the strength to do it.

Liu Xiu patted a few people casually, feeling very strong, he took a few steps back with satisfaction, and asked loudly, "Do you know what you are here for?" ”

"Join the army!" In the crowd, there were bold people who replied. "That's right! It's a surrender! But it's not just about joining the army, it's about going to war, fighting with the reckless army! Liu Xiu said: "Now, the more than 100,000 reckless army commanded by Dasikong Wangyi is approaching Kunyang, and we are waiting for the Han army to fight to the death with the reckless thieves in Kunyang."

War! ”

"General Liu, can we know how many troops our side has?" A medium-sized, burly young man asked.

Liu Xiu glanced at him and said, "Counting you, it's less than 20,000." ”

When they heard this, the slaves present exchanged their heads and talked about it.

If there are less than 20,000 people, to fight more than 100,000 reckless troops, isn't this sending them to death? Many of them looked frightened, their bodies trembled, and their eyes peeked around, as if they were looking for an opportunity to escape.

Liu Xiu said slowly: "If some of you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not go into battle to kill the enemy, you can stand up now, go back to your master's house, and continue to be your house slave!" ”

As soon as they heard this, many people were overjoyed and planned to step out of the queue. The burly young man stood still and didn't move, looking at Liu Xiu without blinking. Liu Xiu continued: "Now, what is in front of you is an opportunity to change your destiny! Those who dare to join our Han army will be my Han army brothers in the future, and the slavery on their bodies can be written off, and in the future, they will make meritorious contributions and glorify their ancestors in the army. Now you are afraid, greedy for life and afraid of death, you can only go back and continue to be domestic slaves, and as slaves, your children will not be able to get rid of slavery, and all generations will be slaves. Is it to take the risk of taking a step forward and change your fate, or is it greedy and afraid

Death, the humble slave live, you choose. ”

The people who had already raised their feet and were about to go out of the queue heard Liu Xiu's words, their faces changed, and their raised feet were slowly put back.

But where there is still a way to live, no one wants to be a slave, the reason why they were willing to be slaves in the first place was because they were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, and there was really no way to live, so they had to take the road of being slaves.

Now that they have the opportunity to abolish their slavery, it is undoubtedly a great temptation for them. The burly young man suddenly asked, "General Liu, I would like to ask, if we are meritorious in the army, can we be like other soldiers and become knights?" ”
