Majia Village around Fenyang City, except for more than a dozen young people who joined the army, the rest of the young people stayed in their hometowns, //

In the afternoon of that day, all the reservists were summoned. The leader was a middle-aged man about 30 years old, he was holding a real steel knife in his hand, and there was a huge box beside him, which was also a brand new steel knife.

The rest of the reserve soldiers looked at this middle-aged man in amazement, they had heard rumors two days ago, saying that they might go to the battlefield, but they didn't expect it to be true.

"Brothers, we have moved from reserve to active duty!" The middle-aged man said loudly.

"Ahh "Sure enough, it's true!" "We're on active duty!"

For a while, the soldiers below were talking about it, and they were shocked by this matter.

"Here's a weapon, each of you takes one, then go home, tell your family about this, and then follow me and go to war!" The middle-aged man waved the steel knife in his hand and said.

The reservists stepped forward one after another, each to get their weapons. When they got their hands on the weapon, they were a little excited, in the past, they basically used wooden knives for training, but now when they got a brand new weapon, they couldn't help but put it on their feet.

"Go home and tell your family! Don't waste time! The middle-aged man frowned and said.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly came in the distance. Looking at the direction they are walking, it is obvious that this is it.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned, and the rest of the reserve soldiers also quieted down, looking at these people in the distance.

"It's handsome!" Suddenly, one of the reservists shouted, and the rest of the reservists followed suit.

The middle-aged man who led the way was also taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Chong, the commander of the Hedong Theater, to come here! He was also an active soldier, but because his younger brother died in battle, there was no man in the family, so the army took the initiative to ask him to retire and let him go back to raise his parents. A long time ago, he was Lin Chong's own soldier! Seeing Lin Chong at this moment, he couldn't help but move, strode forward, and wanted to kneel, but remembering the rules in the army, he hurriedly gave a military salute and said, "Dashuai, I finally see you again!" ”

Lin Chong looked at him and said with a smile: "It's Ma Yun!" How's it going, how have you been doing in the past two years? ”

Ma Yun shook his head and said, "It's not good at all!" I wanted to go to war, and this time it was finally my turn again! ”

Lin Chong frowned and said, "Your brother is dead, don't go to the battlefield this time." If you also die in battle, who will raise your parents? ”

Ma Yun said: "My parents also want me to go to the battlefield!" We are all the people of Yangsan, and everyone has the obligation to go to the battlefield! If everyone doesn't want to go to war, who will fight for Yangsan, and who will defend our country? ”

Lin Chong nodded lightly, Ma Yun was so insistent, he didn't persuade anymore. He strode over to the reservists, his eyes swept over the reservists, all of whom were standing there, nervous in their hearts.

"Soldiers, you're about to go to war, are you afraid?" Lin Chong asked violently.

"Don't be afraid." The soldiers said in unison, but Lin Chong could see that some of the soldiers' faces were not very good, and there was obviously a hint of terror.

"Are you afraid?" Lin Chong asked again.

"Don't be afraid!" This time the soldiers' voices were much louder, and under this loud voice, the horror on the faces of the soldiers seemed to be a little less.

"Actually, it's normal to be afraid! On the battlefield, there are no eyes for knives and guns, and anyone can be injured, or even die, and never see their relatives again! But, soldiers, have you ever wondered what would happen to you if you didn't go to war and the imperial court occupied this place? Lin Chong asked.

No one answered, there was silence around, and after a long time, suddenly a soldier stood up and shouted: "Dashuai, I know!" ”

Lin Chong said: "You can talk about it." ”

The soldier said: "If this place is occupied by the imperial court, then we will face the harsh taxes of the imperial court, and even our land will be occupied by the high-ranking officials of the imperial court!" Our parents and our wives are to be oppressed by the court officials! From now on, I can't eat enough every day, and I am afraid every day, and it will become the kind of life I had many years ago! ”

After the soldier finished speaking, the soldiers around him all showed expressions of "deep sympathy", and they all remembered their childhood memories. At that time, they had no land, and all the land was in the hands of the gentry, and they could not breathe under the oppression of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. They were still young at the time, but they remembered that many of their friends starved to death because they had no food to eat, and in the ditch at the east end of the village, there were many corpses of children in the winter season, and they were all starved to death. They no longer want to live like that, and they no longer want to suffer the cruelty of the imperial court.

Lin Chong nodded and said, "That's right!" So we have to go to war and fight for our families, you say, don't you? ”

"Yes!" Once again, the reservists roared!

"Say goodbye to your family, then take up arms and come with me!" Lin Chongdao.

The reservists of Majia Village followed Lin Chong and left, and the reservists in various villages, towns, and cities were mobilized, and in just three days, all the reservists were assembled and headed everywhere.

******

The focus of Liangshan's defense was on Fenyang, Jinning, and Gaizhou, with Fenyang facing the attack of Taiyuan City's heavy troops, while Jinning and Gaizhou were facing an attack by 200,000 troops in the northwest.

After Lin Chong, Zhu Wu, Hu Yanzhuo and others discussed, it was decided that Lin Chong would personally guard Jinning, Hu Yanzhuo would guard Gaizhou, and Zhu Wu would guard Fenyang City.

In the early morning of this day, Lin Chong officially set off, and Mrs. Lin held the child to bid him off, her heart was extremely worried, and there was a trace of tears on her face.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Lin Chong said with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Lin Yu in Lin Niangzi's arms, Lin Chong stretched out his hand to hold the child, and now the child is just three years old, he kissed the child's face and said, "Xiao Yu is good, you must listen to your mother." When Dad isn't around, don't mess around. ”

Xiao Linyu nodded and said, "Dad, I will take care of my mother." ”

Lin Chong couldn't help laughing, kissed the child on the face again, and said, "I'm leaving, bless Dad." ”

Xiao Lin Yu waved his fist and said in a crisp voice: "Dad will win!" ”

Lin Chong smiled and rode on his horse, taking countless troops and countless reserves towards Jinning in the south.

Two days later, he came to Jinning City, which now has a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers have begun to work closely on the defense.

However, before the enemy arrived, in addition to defense, the soldiers had one more important thing to do, and that was to move the people around Jinning City out.

The people around Jinning City are reluctant to leave their hometown.

"This captain, can't we go if we don't go?" In the village next to Jinning City, countless ordinary people surrounded a battalion commander and asked anxiously.

"Gotta go! What kind of virtue is the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you don't know it, it is introduced in the book of strong people! Especially in the Western Army, the military discipline was very poor, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Staying here is a dead end. The battalion commander persuaded.

"But we don't want to go! This is our home, we are gone, what about our home? And our fields, we can't abandon them! Some of the old peasants knelt on the ground and wept.

They have gone through decades of hardships, and finally waited for the arrival of the soldiers and horses of Liangshan, finally had their own home, their own land, and now they have to give up all this, how can they accept it?

"Don't worry, we'll call back! When the time comes, the land will still be yours! If your house is destroyed, the army will help you rebuild it! In addition, the army will make other compensatory to you, so hurry up. The battalion commander said.

Even with such painstaking persuasion, there were still people who were unwilling to leave, and in this case, the Liangshan army had to use coercive means to take these people away. However, these are a very small number of people after all, and the land east of the river implements strict military management, and even the common people must obey military law. After so many years, ordinary people no longer dare to violate military law at will.

"What a hard time for the people! I hope that this big war will come down and the people will not be affected! Lin Chong stood on the wall of Jinning, looking at the people who moved north under the city, and he was very emotional.

The reason why the people had to be relocated was to save the people from the scourge of war, and on the other hand, to clear the wilderness without leaving the enemy with the slightest supply, so that the enemy would face huge logistical pressure.

It's already the ninth month of the lunar calendar, late autumn, and late at night, the weather is already very cold. However, the soldiers in Jinning City were all wearing cotton clothes, but they were not afraid of this cold. Liangshan is preparing for war all the time, and has a large number of military reserves, whether it is cotton clothes or food, which is enough to cope with this big war.

Lin Chong must be respectful, and he took some personal soldiers to patrol around late at night, and when he walked to a corner of the city wall, he saw a group of reserve soldiers standing guard here.

"Big brother, I'm a little scared." A boy who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a military uniform, looked into the distance and said softly.

"Don't be afraid, follow me, we will win!" The "big brother" he mentioned was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was a hint of childishness on his face.

But although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, looking at his military uniform, he is already a brigade commander! Although this brigade commander is only in the reserve, and now he has been transferred to active duty, and after the war, the position of brigade commander may be abolished, but it is not simple!

In the reserves, there are thousands of people in a brigade, and this young man can rise out of thousands of people, which is quite extraordinary!

"We have migrated from Henan to Hedong for more than two years, and we have lived so happily in the past two years, we can't let this happy life be destroyed! Therefore, we must do our best to defend our homeland! The young brigade commander said.

"Hmm!" The boy next to him nodded.

Lin Chong became more and more interested in the young man, and as he approached, the young man and several soldiers around him hurriedly saluted.

Lin Chong looked at the young brigade commander and said, "What's your name?" ”
