Gu Lie was stunned: "Recruit again?" Recruit another 200 people, and we will be able to cross the river? ”

"Who would think that they have few soldiers, there are still seats on our ship, just squeeze it. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info rest assured, as long as you recruit people, you won't be able to mess up. Wang Shen said, turned his head and said to a few soldiers around him: "You are responsible, you all know the rules of my recruitment, just follow it." Gu Dutou, why don't you help me take a look. ”

"Yes, General."

Gu Lie nodded: "I still don't understand. ”

Those soldiers were obviously often engaged in recruitment, and immediately shouted in unison with all their strength: "Don't mess up, everyone, we are not open a good hall, and if we want to carry only our own people." General Wang said that our army will recruit another 200 athletes. If we like it, we can cross the river together. If you want to be a soldier, come to us to sign up, line up, line up. ”

The people fell silent at the same time, and then thousands of people shouted: "We will be soldiers, we will be soldiers, and the officers will take me!" ”

Soon, the commotion of the people calmed down, and all the young men lined up in a long line to be screened by the Sizhou Prefecture camp one by one.

The Sizhou battalion has its own standards for recruiting recruits, first of all, they must be over 16 years old, under 40 years old, they must be in good health, and they must have great strength, and they need to lift a 100-pound box and hold it on their chest for three seconds.

In fact, the country of the Northern Song Dynasty was rich and strong, and the nutrition of the people was very good, and the height of young men was generally between 1.60 and 1.7 meters, and they worked in the fields for a long time, so their strength was not small, and there were many people who met the standards.

In addition to age and physical condition, the most important thing is to be honest. Usually, the soldiers would ask a few questions to the recruits, and they thought it was good, so they were led to Wang Shen to register here.

At the beginning, Gu Lie was still puzzled by what Wang Shen said, "As long as you recruit people, you won't be able to mess up". Strange to say, as soon as the words of those soldiers were shouted, order was restored to the dock.

He walked up to Wang Shen and asked, "General Wang, I still don't understand. We only recruit 200 people, even if those 200 people are selected for us to take across the river, if there are more than 10,000 people to stay, they will be able to calm down immediately? ”

Wang Shen was sitting behind a desk grinding ink, and a soldier had already put a big umbrella on his head, and the rain fell and rustled.

"Hope." Wang Shen raised his head and said, "The people are like this, as long as they are given a glimmer of hope, there will be no chaos." As for not being chosen, I can only blame myself for my bad luck. This is arranged by God, who can have a way. ”

Gu Lie nodded: "Yes, admire." ”

Soon, one after another, the qualified soldiers were brought to Wang Shen, registered their names, and received weapons to say goodbye to their relatives in the envious eyes of everyone.

Among the selected soldiers, except for a few who fled alone, most of them brought their families with them. They also know that after crossing the river, the family will be separated by the Yangtze River moat from now on, and they are afraid that they will never see each other again in this troubled era.

For a time, wives sent their husbands, parents sent their sons, children sent their fathers, and there were soft weeping everywhere.

"Daddy, child, you have to take care of yourself, we will take care of it. Don't worry, we'll be fine, we'll go back to our hometown and wait for you, and when the peace is over, you remember to come back! ”

"Daddy, don't leave me...... Mother, don't hit me. ”

"Shut up, don't hold your father, do you want him to die in Jiangbei?" Before she could finish speaking, the woman began to cry.

……

"Child, you can go with confidence, don't worry about us, you are alive, but you have also left a seed for our Sun family, even if your father and mother are dead, they will also have an explanation for their ancestors."

"Father, mother, the child is not filial, the child is not leaving!"

The man who was the father was furious and slapped him down: "Get out, if you stay here, it will be a dead word, and you will be a big unfilial piety." ”

……

"Zhiniang, I'm not human, I'm not human, I'll leave you and go by myself, I'm ......" A recruit couldn't stop slapping himself.

The woman put a hairpin on her heart: "Thief, if you don't leave, if you don't go, I will die in front of your eyes." "Tears welled up like a spring.

……

Such scenes are constantly staged.

Although Gu Lie's heart was hard, after watching it for a long time, his heart was sour.

He looked back at Wang Shen, who was expressionless and registered the recruits, and asked a few kind words from time to time.

This man...... This person only has iron and stone in his heart, and the straight lady thief is harder than Lao Tzu.

Wang Shen turned his head, and the eyes of the two met in the air: "Gu Dutou can't bear it, I want to sympathize with them." Back then, you went from Shaanxi to Jiangnan, then to Hebei, then to Tokyo, Shanxi, Huaixi, and now Jiankang, and you haven't been back to your hometown for many years, aren't you also miserable. See, this is the fate of the slaves who died in the country. For the sake of the country and the nation, if you want to fight back to your hometown and drive the Jurchen Tartars back to the north, you have to put away your sons and daughters for me. ”

"If Gu Dutou can't bear it, you can go back to the boat."

"Well, out of sight is out of sight." Gu Lie suddenly became a little depressed and walked through the crowd towards the boat.

Just after walking a few steps, his clothes were grabbed by a person: "Official, do you want a woman?" ”

When I looked closely, it was a thin skeleton woman, and I couldn't tell her age, her eyes were deep-set, her two cheekbones were raised high, and her eyes fell deeply. This makes her whole person look like dry firewood, and she is very afraid of people.

However, it can still be seen from her facial features that if it was before, it should be this beauty.

"Sir, take me away, I'm beautiful, I know how to serve people. I was able to have children, I had two children, and both died. Take me away, sir, and I promise to give you a precious son." As she spoke, she smiled deliciously.

On a cold day, flies were hovering above her head, and a strong stench of gangrene came from her. This situation Gu Lie, an old soldier, is very clear, he should have injuries on his body and rotten.

I still want to be my woman, what a hell of a life. Gu Lie kicked her and hurriedly walked away.

After walking for a while, he was just about to get on the boat, when he suddenly felt compassion. This woman may get better after taking a few doses of medicine and eating a full meal for a while.

"Straight thief, what's wrong with me, Gu Lie, Gu Lie, you are not a soft-hearted person...... She seemed to ...... It's like the Hun family that I haven't seen for many years...... "That's right, that woman's eyebrows are rare like the appearance of the Hun family that has been dead for many years, and she is also so beautiful."

"That's it, I still have dry food and wound medicine on me, give her well, and give her some silver."

Gu Lie walked back again, but the woman was already dead, lying in a pool of stagnant water. On her shriveled head, I don't know when an unknown little yellow flower was inserted.

At this time, her face was calm and fair, not so terrifying, and even had an eerie morbid beauty.

This kind of beautiful woman, if she is in peaceful years, will inevitably be regarded as a treasure by her husband and carefully cared for, right?

It was this war since Jingkang, and it was the long-term drought and famine that made her what she is now.

The rain was still falling, and I was soaked, so cold.

These refugees have fled from Jianghuai to this point, all of them have abandoned their families and jobs, and many of them have only worn a single coat, and they have already starved to death and frozen to death.

Now Gu Lie found out that there were more than a dozen corpses of children and old people in the backwater of the dock at his feet, which were sinking and floating inside. If there really is hell in the world, that's probably it!

He couldn't hold back any longer, he vomited out all the breakfast with a wow, and directly vomited into tears: "The official family, the official family, what did you and the Daojun Emperor do, why did my Great Song become like this, are you worthy of the people?" Your rain and dew are falling, but it is so bitter and cold! ”

"Slave of the dead country, this is the slave of the dead country!" A hand rested on his shoulder.

Gu Lie turned his head to look at Wang Shen, who was expressionless, as if the hell on earth in front of him did not exist.

Wang Shen said slowly: "Gu Dutou, now you understand what our soldiers should do, that is, to guard, to protect the bloodline of our nation, so that the fire of civilization will not be extinguished in the hands of aliens." I've also seen what happened just now, and you don't have to blame yourself. Even if you save this woman, there are thousands of women like her in the world, how can you save them. ”

Gu Lie's family all died in the Song Dynasty's internal and external wars, and he thought that he was as cold as iron. At this moment, the scar in her heart was uncovered by this woman, and it hurt terribly: "Save one by one." ”

"Confused." Wang Shen shouted: "The big husband helps the people in fire and water, that is a great feeling, how can he tie his hands and feet because of small compassion?" As long as the result is correct, it doesn't matter if the means used in the process are inappropriate, that's great compassion. ”

"Even if you sacrifice some people?" Gu Lie raised his head.

"That's right." Wang Shen nodded; "How can Xiaoren compare to Dayi, Gu Dutou, how did you become weak?"

Gu Lie muttered, "I...... I just think it's not right, it's definitely not right. ”

"Alright, alright, you go down and rest!"

Gu Lie shook his head: "I, Gu Lie, joined the army since I was a child, and I killed all the way from Shaanxi to Jiangnan, and I don't know how many people died under my knife." I have seen a lot of dead people, but today I can see clearly what is going on in this world, and only then can I see clearly how suffering these sentient beings are. I'm not leaving, I'm going to see this hell on earth for real. ”

"Home Country...... The family and the country ......" Wang Shen smiled bitterly: "The country is ruined, and only at this time can we deeply appreciate this kind of thing...... In the past, for the common people, whoever was the emperor lived the same life. At this time, it may be possible to understand what the family, country, and nation mean to them, and no one can hide from it before the unprecedented national catastrophe. ”

Gu Lie pushed away an umbrella handed over by a guard and stood silently on the ground.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Shen came over again: "Gu Lie, two hundred soldiers are about to be recruited, get ready, we can cross the river." ”

"Yes, General.".

Wang Shen and Gu Lie were about to get on the boat, when a woman suddenly rushed over, grabbed Wang Shen's clothes, knelt on the ground and begged: "General, general, recruit one more soldier, bring my son with you!" ”

But I saw that she was very dirty, only wearing a thin shirt on a cold day, and a skinny child by her side, who was about ten years old.

This sudden scene shocked the guards around Wang Shen, and they were about to whip the stick on her head.
