When Li Yanzhao returned to the camp, everyone saw him and gathered around him to ask why the prince summoned him. Li Yanzhao's face was filled with a smug and happy smile. The concern of the crowd made him feel extremely satisfied and warm. This feeling even surpassed the occasional satisfaction and warmth he had in his previous life. Now he suddenly felt that if he threw himself back to the afterlife he originally belonged to in the next second, maybe he really didn't want to.

Yu presented the map to the prince. Fu Jun Zhaoyu asked some opinions on major events in the world. Li Yanzhao patiently explained to everyone.

When they heard this, they rejoiced. Li Yanzhao was appreciated by the Taishou, and in the future, he would either be an official of the county or a retainer of the Taishou, both in public and private, and it would be beneficial to them without any harm.

Li Yanzhao told everyone about Taishou's intention to select soldiers from among the exiles. When they heard this, they didn't care. Liu Zhongkang inquired in detail. Li Yanzhao gave a detailed explanation. Although he also knew nothing about the world military system implemented at this time, but in combination with everyone's explanations, it was actually the same as the Tuntian in the Cao Wei period, the government soldiers in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the guards of the Ming Dynasty. They all choose military households, serve as soldiers for generations, and all of them are allocated by the government to the fields, work as farmers in their spare time, and serve as soldiers in wartime.

However, Li Yanzhao saw that everyone was not very interested in this matter. I found out after careful questioning. In the Jin Dynasty, all those who were soldiers were registered in the army, and they were single and independent, not the same as the people. The father dies and the son succeeds, and the generation is a soldier. The families of soldiers live in a concentrated manner, but the social status of soldiers and their families is lower than that of county households. In order to expand the number of soldiers, the government often appointed slaves and criminals as soldiers to serve as soldiers.

In this way, Li Yanzhao can understand why the social status of the soldiers is not high. How high can the social status be in the company of slaves and criminals? He couldn't help but think of a common saying that he often heard in later generations, called "A good iron does not hit nails, and a good man is not a soldier." "Although in the society of later generations, the source of soldiers are ordinary people. Not to mention that a person who has committed a crime cannot enlist in the army, even if there is a well-documented member of the immediate family who has committed a crime. Moreover, the recruits are basically selected from high school, technical secondary school, junior college and university graduates. And the government has spared no effort to portray enlistment in the military as an honorable thing. However, it is still difficult to change the perception that has been passed down for thousands of years.

The interest of the crowd was not high, and there were few responders, but Li Yanzhao was anxious. In desperation, he asked Liu Zhongkang to gather a group of homeless people, and he wanted to try to convince everyone.

Soon, dozens of families, nearly 200 men, women, and children gathered together under Liu Zhongkang's appeal. They all looked up in the direction of Li Yanzhao. Look at this young man who has repeatedly amazed them.

"Folks." Li Yanzhao's heart was painful, and he couldn't help but speak in a heavy tone.

"On our way to escape, do you remember the remains of the wasteland that can be seen everywhere in the land of Guanzhong? Do you remember the slaughtered village on the edge of Chencang? I went to the village, and the first family to go in was that two old men were killed by the slaves, and the young daughter-in-law was also insulted by the slaves, and her abdomen was cut open by the slaves, and she died in agony. The only person left in their family was an infant child. His mother knew that she and her family were in danger, so she hid him in the stove to escape! Have you forgotten these things? ”

These things that Li Yanzhao told were all seen by everyone. The few surviving families in the small village of Chencang were also in the crowd at this time. After listening to Li Yanzhao's questioning, many eyes swept towards them. They couldn't help but think of the neighbors, relatives and clansmen in their village who had died tragically, and when they thought about it, they couldn't help but let out a cry of sorrow. The surviving child, who was now also in the arms of one of the nurses, somehow began to cry at this time. "Wow~Wow~Wow~" one after another, crying hoarsely.

"Have you ever thought that those people who died are doing their duty, just like everyone standing here at this time, going out early and returning late all year round, working hard to dig a bite of food in the land, and never doing anything harmful, why did they suffer such a catastrophe?"

Hearing Li Yanzhao's question, everyone was at a loss. Yes, these people have not done anything to hurt nature and reason, so why did they suffer such a catastrophe?

Li Yanzhao paused, waiting for the bottom to exchange ears for a while. Then he shouted out the answer in his heart: "Yu thinks that all this is because there is no strong army to protect these ordinary people!" Without a strong army, to protect the fruits of their labor, or even the safety of their lives, can not be guaranteed! “

"So the Hu people came, they grabbed whatever they wanted! Anyway, if you rob these ordinary people, they won't pay the price! When they saw the women with the appearance of a peugeot, they stepped forward and insulted, anyway, if they insulted those women, they would not pay the price! When they encounter ordinary people who can't bear to resist and want to resist, they come forward to kill, kill and kill, anyway, kill these people, they still won't pay the price! “

"Why? Because those who dare to fight have been destroyed! Those who dare not fight have already fled! No one can stop the robbers! That's why they dare to act in front of these common people! They can do whatever they want in front of these ordinary people! Anyway, no one can stop them from looting, no one can stop them from killing! ”

The people below were already silent, and everyone was shocked when they heard this. They couldn't help but look at Li Yanzhao and at the calm and eloquent face.

"But if you think about it the other way, if there is a strong army of officers and soldiers, can these robbers still be like this? Do they still dare to do whatever they want in such a general way? When they set foot on our land, they will be put around the neck by the swords and guns of the officers and soldiers, and they will be driven away by obedience, and killed by those who are disobedient. Can they still run to loot property, can they run to insult women, can they run to kill ordinary people? Can you? ”

Li Yanzhao's mouth was a little dry, but he still held up a slightly hoarse voice and continued: "Taking a step back, even if they set foot on our land, the officers and soldiers could not drive them away, but when they went to loot property, kill people and set fires, there was a strong army of officers and soldiers, they were skilled in martial arts, and they killed those robbers, so would those people still suffer such a catastrophe?" Will it? ”

"Now, everyone has arrived in Liangzhou. For the land of Guanzhong, which has been hit by military disasters, Liangzhou is indeed a paradise, there are no military disasters, no wars, and no Hu people who rob houses everywhere. Everyone is very satisfied, and they are looking forward to living and working in peace and contentment on this land, and living a good life where the whole family can eat enough and not suffer from freezing. I also hope that everyone can live that kind of happy life. When everyone heard this, their faces showed a look of yearning.

"But." Li Yanzhao changed his words and said: "Those thieves, they are burning, killing and looting on the land of Guanzhong today, how arrogant they are. Who can guarantee that they won't get Longwangshu tomorrow and go to Liangzhou to burn and loot? Who can guarantee that? ”

Everyone's faces changed drastically, but they lowered their heads one after another and were silent.

Yu knew that the status of the soldiers who enlisted in the army was not high, and everyone was reluctant to join the army. However, joining the army is not to fight for those empty positions, but for ourselves, for our families! Li Yanzhao said emotionally. In the land of Yongqin in Guanzhong, there have been many heroes and heroes since ancient times, in the Warring States period in the past, the situation is changing, but the Qin people are happy when they hear the war, the father and son are shirtless, the face does not change color in the rain of guns and arrows, and the end is a good man, a good hero! Li Yanzhao praised and gave a thumbs up. Yu is convinced that even though their era has passed for 500 years, the men in my Guanzhong are still iron-clad heroes. Do you think what Yu said is true? ”

"Yes!" When all the young people below heard this, they were all enthusiastic.

"Guanzhong has been lost, but this is all temporary! Everyone enlists in the army, but Yu is private to protect their relatives and dependents, but Yu Gong is to protect the family and the country, and the people in the world who are as honest as everyone else! One day, Liangzhou will raise an uprising and go eastward to expel all those thieves from Guanzhong and restore our homeland! Immediately, Li Yanzhao raised his arms and shouted: "Expelle Hu Lu!" Conquer your homeland! ”

"Expelling the Hulu!" Cao Jian was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he couldn't help but shout with Li Yanzhao raising his arms.

"Recover your homeland!" A fire in his heart seemed to be lit, and all the young men chanted in unison.

Li Yanzhao's words are heartfelt and reasonable. Everyone was impressed. When it comes to the selection of world soldiers, everyone is already enthusiastic.

"If you are a man who is willing to become a military household, please stand here." Li Yanzhao pointed to a clearing on his side and said to everyone. "The only son is not coming, the man still has a family of two or three people, and one person can come." Li Yanzhao repeated the principle of selecting troops that he had formulated himself.

In a short time, there were twenty or thirty people standing on the clearing. Among the less than 200 displaced people, Li Yanzhao can gather so many men who are willing to join the army, and Li Yanzhao already feels that it is really rare.

However, Li Yanzhao did not plan to integrate all these twenty or thirty people into the army. He has his own plans. A plan for the formation of a "reserve" of this era. So he made a record of the 27 men after the count. Ten people were then selected from among them and were intended to be incorporated into the ranks.

These ten people are: Cao Jian, the eldest son of the Cao brothers, Liu Jiwu, the second son of Liu Zhongkang, the humble Niu Erzhuang, who had been helping Li Yanzhao build a shack on the way to escape, Ding Yue, Liao Rulong, Qin Dayong, and Cui Yang who were Liu Zhongkang's place when they were in Yongzhou, and Han Wencan, Zhang Xing, and Wang Qiang, who followed the team from Chen Cang. Almost every household in Chencang has young people who want to enlist in the army. After all, the blood feud in the whole village makes it difficult for them to let go.

All ten of them were young and strong, although they had endured a lot of hardships on the way to escape these days, and their light diet made them slightly emaciated. However, the tattered short coats revealed their tanned muscles due to long hours of labor, and they looked extremely strong, and Li Yanzhao was very satisfied. These ten people are in good physical condition, and if they go through the rigorous training in the army over time, they will become fierce soldiers.

After the selection of world soldiers, it was already early afternoon. Li Yanzhao wanted to go to the county government to report the matter to the king. When he left yesterday, Taishou made it clear that Li Yanzhao could come to him at any time if he had anything. Although Li Yanzhao was not too worried about everything, he felt that it was better to discuss with Taishou about such a thing as "reserves".
