Ji Ling had no choice but to take the order.

After a while, a dull drum beat sounded outside the line.

After the three drums, all the captains and generals in the army gathered at Yuan No's line, because the hall could not stand, and the captain and the commander could only stand on the patio.

Only officers of the rank of military officer and above are eligible to enter the lobby.

Yuan Wei took the letter of the Zhang family's grandmother, got up from behind the case, strode to the bottom of the steps, and shouted: "Where is the calf Zhang?" ”

Zhang Niucal stepped forward with a knife, clenched his fists and said, "The end will be." ”

Yuan Wei looked at Zhang Niucalf and said with a smile: "Tell you a good news, your aunt has been found." ”

Zhang Niucal is a filial son, since he fled Shouchun, he has been worried about the safety of his mother all the time, but because the military and civilians are separated, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he has not found any news of his mother.

At this time, when he heard the news of his mother, Zhang Niucal immediately became excited, and asked in a trembling voice: "Son, I don't know where my mother is?" ”

Yuan Wei stepped forward and gently stroked Zhang Niucal's shoulder and back, and said, "Lu Mian just brought the news, your aunt is in Chaohu Lake right now, everything is fine, oh yes, she also asked Lu Mian to bring you a letter from home." ”

While speaking, Yuan Wei handed the letter brought by Lu Mian to Zhang Niucal.

Zhang Niucal didn't answer, but looked at Yuan Fu blankly, his black face turned white in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "Son, what did you say?" Her mother is in Chaohu Lake, but she is actually in Chaohu Lake? ”

Yuan didn't answer, and forcibly stuffed the family letter into Zhang Niucal's hand.

Zhang Niuqi unfolded the family letter, but after reading it, he knelt on the ground and cried: "My auntie, my hard-working auntie, how is this good, how can this make the child good, hey, how, how......"

Seeing Zhang Niucalf crying there, the rest of the hundreds of generals and colonels of the Yuan army also cried one after another.

Who doesn't have parents, wives and children? Zhang Niucal's mother was lost in Chaohu, and there was still news and a thought, but their parents, wives and children didn't even hear from them, and they didn't know if they were still alive.

This situation and this scene are not just sad?

"Present all the letters from home."

As soon as Yuan Wei waved his hand, Ji Ling took a dozen Yu Lin guards and carried up nearly a hundred volumes of books.

Except for the silk books used for Zhang Niucal's family letters, the rest of the generals' family letters are bamboo slips.

"Send it down." Yuan Wei waved his hand and motioned for Ji Ling to send the family letter.

Then Yuan Wei said to the generals and colonels who were looking forward to the church: "You must be curious to know whose book this book is, right?" You must be wondering, this is not our family letter, right? That's right, you guessed it, these are all letters written to you by your family, except for a few who don't, and everyone else has a copy! ”

In a matter of moments, hundreds of letters had been distributed.

All the generals who received the letter from home were the same as Zhang Niucal, happy and sad in their hearts, and they also cried with Zhang Niucal.

For a while, the entire line was immersed in gloomy clouds.

Yuan Wei left these generals behind, came out of Xingyuan, and then asked Ji Ling to gather the army.

In the continuous sound of horns, the remnants of the four thousand Yuan army gathered in the open space outside the gate.

Yuan Wei climbed the sentry tower on the right side of the gate under the support of Ji Ling and Liu Ye.

Seeing Yuan No's figure appear on the sentry tower, the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army gathered outside the gate raised their heads one after another, and looked at Yuan Nuo with eager eyes, especially the nearly 1,000 cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Department, looking at Yuan Nuo's eyes were particularly eager, because not long ago, Yuan Nuo led them to win a battle.

Nearly 4,000 people gathered inside and outside the gate, and Yuan No's voice could barely reach the ears of every soldier.

Yuan Fu's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the soldiers of the Yuan army, and said loudly: "Soldiers, let me tell you a good news, I just got the news that hundreds of thousands of people who fled from Shouchun are still alive, that's right, including your parents, wives and children, they are all still alive, all of them are alive!" ”

Hearing Yuan Wei's words, the soldiers of the Yuan army below suddenly cheered like a tsunami.

What is the purpose of being a soldier? Not to support your family? What is the purpose of going to the battlefield to fight to the death? It's not for the sake of sealing his wife and son.

Since escaping from Shouchun, I have lost the news of my parents, wife and children, and I always feel that something is missing in my heart, but now, I finally have the news of my parents, wife and children.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Hearing the soldiers under him call themselves long live, Yuan Wei was a little shocked.

However, when I turned around, I saw that Ji Ling and Liu Ye were both calm, and they immediately reacted again, the word long live was not exclusive to the emperor at this time, and the courtiers said long live when they saw the emperor, and the people would shout long live to each other when they encountered happy and festive things, and long live was exclusively enjoyed by the emperor alone, but it was a matter after the Song Dynasty.

Yuan Wei raised his right hand slightly, and the cheers of the soldiers of the Yuan army below stopped abruptly.

Yuan Wei sighed and said, "However, what follows is not good news." ”

After a pause, Yuan Wei said again: "Although your parents, wives and children are still alive, they have fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, they are now being imprisoned in Chaohu, and they are being coerced by the Jiangdong Army to Tuntian, they can only eat very little rations every day, but they need to do a lot of physical work, Sun Ce even sent someone to threaten your parents, wives and children with this son." ”

As soon as Yuan Wei's words fell, whispers suddenly sounded inside and outside the gate.

All the soldiers of the Yuan army looked at each other with a panicked expression, did their parents, wives and children fall into the hands of Sun Ce?

Ji Ling was already in a very bad mood, which made him even more annoyed, and shouted: "Quiet, all quiet!" ”

Ji Ling roared several times before he drank the whispers of the soldiers, and Yuan Wei said again: "Sun Ce threatened that if this son doesn't let you go, he will kill your parents, wives and children." ”

Liu Ye glanced at Yuan Nuo in surprise, he only persuaded Yuan Nuo to be an adult, but he didn't want Yuan Nuo to retreat into advance.

However, Liu Ye must also admit that Yuan No's retreat is better than the beauty of a simple adult.

At this time, Sun Ce just sent Lu Mian to come with a letter from his family, and did not threaten the parents, wives and children of the Yuan army, but as the war deepened, Sun Ce would definitely come to this point, since he would inevitably face Sun Ce's coercion in the end, why not just make this matter clear first? Then give Yuan Jun a chance to choose.

In this way, the soldiers who voluntarily stayed behind will no longer have any dissent.

And, even the group of soldiers who left, they will also be deeply grateful to Yuan No.

I have to say that Yuan Wei's insight into people's hearts and grasp of human nature have reached a certain realm! It is said that practice is the best mentor, and Yuan Wei has grown up rapidly in a difficult environment.

With Yuan Wei's loud words, an inexplicable aura of pathos quickly spread inside and outside the gate.

Except for a few soldiers who had no father or mother, and were alone, the rest of the soldiers with parents, wives and children all showed grief and indignation, and in addition to grief and indignation, there was also an indescribable sadness.

On one side is the lord, on the other hand, it is the parents, wife and children, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, how is this good?

Fortunately, Yuan Que didn't embarrass them for too long, and Yuan Que then said: "My son knows, you are very embarrassed, on the one hand, loyalty, on the other hand, filial piety, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, but what? ”

"Nope! What I want to tell you is that you don't need to be embarrassed. ”

"You choose to leave today, but it is for filial piety, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first, you choose to leave in order to fulfill filial piety, it is not a betrayal, this son will never stop you, let alone blame you for this! Even if one day in the future, you join Sun Ce's command, this son still won't blame you! ”

Yuan Wei's tone was calm, just like a friend chatting, although the words were plain, the feelings were sincere, and even he himself felt a little touched, and the soldiers of Yuan Jun below were even more moved.

"Childe!"

"Childe is benevolent!"

"Childe, the villain won't go!"

"The son is very gracious, and the villain will repay it in the next life!"

"Childe, the villain is not going anywhere, he will follow you in this life and this life!"

"Childe, if the villain can get back the old mother, if he can't get it back, after a hundred years of the old mother, no matter how many mountains and rivers block each other, or thousands of difficulties and dangers, the villain will definitely come to find the son!"

"Childe, the villain is here to swear to the heavens, he will never contribute to the Sun family in this life, if he violates this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

The words of sorrow sounded one after another, and one by one the soldiers of the Yuan army knelt down in the mud, and the miserable atmosphere had disappeared, replaced by a resolute, resolute and absolute atmosphere.

"Get up, all of you, get up!" Yuan raised his hands and motioned for the soldiers to get up.

Seeing that none of the soldiers below were willing to get up, Yuan Fu also knelt down on the watchtower.

"Soldiers don't have to be like this." Yuan Wei knelt down on the sentry tower and said with tears in his eyes, "Life is impermanent, you and I parted today, do you know if he will meet again one day?" Soldiers, please listen carefully now, if you are willing to stay, please stand on the left side of the gate, and if you want to go to Chaohu Lake to do your filial piety, stand on the right side of the gate, and my son will say it again......"

With tears in his eyes, Yuan Wei repeated the words over and over again.
