Chapter 306: Death and Resurrection

The grassland, a snow-white ground with snow everywhere. And the special guard soldiers formed a phalanx, obviously the atmosphere was very bad, maybe something bad happened. But everyone still followed the previous military discipline and didn't make much noise. Everyone looked at Li Junxian on a small hillside in front of him, and Li Junxian stood on that small hillside, ready to start announcing a bad news.

"Soldiers, we will have no reinforcements in seven days!" Li Junxian said first.

"What?" Everyone was amazed.

According to the original plan, he only had to hold out for one day, and then reinforcements could arrive. But Li Junxian's news surprised everyone very much, and he actually said that there were no reinforcements within seven days. Most of them had already been mentally prepared for a general battle this time, a decisive battle with the Turks. If you have no reinforcements within seven days and let more than 200,000 Turks besiege you, then I am afraid that the risk is also very high, and there is even the possibility of annihilation of the whole army!

"General Li, what's going on?" Some of the soldiers asked.

Li Junxian said: "The previous snow, our reinforcements could not march, so it caused our reinforcements to arrive seven days late, so we have no reinforcements." However, I hope that you can hold on for seven days, and after seven days, we will be able to receive reinforcements. ”

As soon as I finished saying bad news, I had to say good news, otherwise I am afraid that morale will decline.

"Those Tang Xiejun, you are all Turks, there is no need for you to hold on with us. You can leave on your own, and if you are willing to stick with us, then if we can get out of danger, we will definitely be rewarded. When the time comes, if we can defeat Jieli Khan and we conquer the steppe, those of you who persist will also be able to obtain the same status and treatment as the Han Chinese. I can guarantee this. ”

Those Tang Xiejun also looked at each other, and after the interpreter's explanation, they knew that they were also in danger. But now they all have the intention of leaving, the reason why they will fight with Li Junxian is not for money? If it's too risky now, it's not for these guys to want to join. So, when the heard this, he already had the intention of leaving.

And Li Junxian of course knows that these Tang Xiejun are always a little unreliable at this time, because they are foreign races after all, and their hearts must be different if they are not of my race! But Li Junxian still has to say this, because if they are allowed to stay. When the time comes, once these guys can't hold the pressure, I'm afraid they will bring danger to themselves. It's like at the end of the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, the devil was already at the end of his rope, and at that time, those puppet soldiers were thinking about how to get a way out. In this case, the puppet army is not the helper of the devil at all, but the enemy lurking around him.

The current situation is very similar, that is, Li Junxian is like the regular troops of those invading countries, and Tang Xiejun is a puppet army, if Li Junxian encounters great danger now. Instead of helping themselves, those puppet soldiers will think about how to avoid danger. These Tang allies may not be their own allies, but their potential enemies. Rather than this, it is better to let them run to Jieli. Fighting with their own swords and guns, they can't be kept and let them be potential enemies within their own army.

After Li Junxian finished announcing, the soldiers returned to the camp one after another. Apparently to digest the news. And those supervisors and political officials at all levels immediately began to work at a rapid pace, trying to save the morale of their own army.

"Soldiers. As long as we hold out for seven days, we can wait for reinforcements. Come to think of it, now you are not for merit, you are just for being able to go back alive. We just want to live and be able to go back to see our parents, our children, and our wives in the future. None of this is possible if you don't live. As long as we live, everything will be safe and fast. So, everyone has to live and fight to live! ”

This political worker did not say anything about national righteousness, but only explained that he wanted to live. Only when you are alive can you go home and see your parents and relatives. If he dies, then I am afraid that everyone will not be able to see their parents and relatives. And this point of using family members to motivate everyone's morale was what Li Junxian told them.

According to a story that Li Junxian said in later generations, before joining the navy, his parents asked him what his ideals were for joining the army in the future, and the navy soldier said to protect his family and defend the country. However, his mother told him that once he encountered danger in the army, he should not think about defending his family and country for the time being, just thinking that there was still his mother waiting for him at home.

Later, when the soldier encountered danger in a naval battle in southern Xinjiang, he found that what he was thinking of was not to protect his family and defend the country, but to say what his mother said back then. As a result, he burst out with infinite strength, and he was finally rescued after floating in the sea for several days and nights.

And this story made Li Junxian discover that in fact, in the most dangerous time, what can really make everyone adhere to is not necessarily the lofty ideal of protecting the family and defending the country, but his own family affection. Sometimes a soldier is able to burst out with a lot of strength in order to be alive. As for the lofty ideal of protecting the family and defending the country, sometimes it is not as good as family affection in the hearts of some people. When they fulfill their duty to protect their homes and defend the country, perhaps those soldiers who are conscientious will become "greedy for life and afraid of death", and burst out with great energy in order to live.

Now Li Junxian did not let everyone say anything about the lofty ideal of protecting the family and defending the country, but talked about family affection, which made them become "greedy for life and afraid of death". Only in this way can they persevere in order to live.

"Fight with the Turks!" "Fight!" "We're going home!" "Go home!" "We're going home!" "Only after defeating the Turks can you go home!"

The soldiers suddenly went crazy and apparently burst out with a very powerful force in order to return home.

But on the other hand, the people about Tang Xiejun are not so good.

"Jun Xian, more than a thousand people from Tang Xiejun have left. If this continues, I am afraid that within half a day, thousands of people will have to leave. Should we keep them? Ashinayun asked.

"I can keep people, but I can't keep my heart. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, what can we do? Let him go! Li Junxian said helplessly.

Now, everyone is preparing for the final battle, and they must hold out for seven days before they can get the support of reinforcements. (To be continued......)
