Chapter 94: Together
(Thank you for the boring Xiaoxin reward, thank you for the rotten egg patron saint, iron-blooded Yi Xuantong shoes for the evaluation votes!) Thank you! )
On the top of the city tower, the torches held by the guards behind Chen Kefu were burning, and the firelight that was constantly drifting in the wind illuminated Chen Kefu's face very clearly.
Chen Kefu stroked the battlements with his hand, and his voice was very high, "Brothers! Some of us are from Shandong, Hebei, some are from Henan, Hedong, and even some are from Huainan Jiangbiao and Sichuan Shuguanzhong. One by one, we traveled thousands of miles, abandoned our families and children, and came to this land of Liaodong. There are no warm homes at home, no caring families, and there are not even delicious home-cooked meals. We left behind our fields, our parents, wives and children, and traveled thousands of miles, all the way, all the way, eating dry food, living in tents, and there were no relatives around us who missed us. Brethren, what are you doing all this for? ”
The soldiers and people below gathered there to listen, and one by one they raised their heads and looked at Chen Kefu on the city tower.
On the night just after this blood-boiling night raid, in this night when the air was full of tearing, chaos, excitement, and excitement, in this night when the sky was constantly drizzling and the cold wind blowing could not cool down their igniting blood, Chen Kefu's words sounded clearly in their ears.
Like a clear spring flowing through the heart, those fanatical and restless people began to gradually dissipate the frenzy in their eyes, recalling their relatives at home and recalling the hardships along the way.
It's been more than half a year, and I don't know if my parents are okay at home, I don't know if my wife at home has missed me, and I don't know if my brothers and children at home are all right. It's cold, and the fields at home have been harvested, and I don't know what the harvest will be without my own home.
An officer of the new army, seeing that everyone did not answer, said loudly, "General, we are here because of Your Majesty's summons!" ”
As soon as his words came out, everyone also agreed, yes, the emperor gave an order, they all threw down the hoes in their hands, picked up the sword and rushed to this Liaodong land.
Chen Kefu smiled, "That's right, we all followed His Majesty's call to come to this Liaodong to tear and fight with these Goguryeo barbarians we have never seen." Here, I also thank you for Your Majesty and for the Great Sui! As he spoke, Chen Kefu bowed to the people under the city tower.
"Brothers, do you know why His Majesty summoned us to this Liaodong?"
"Brethren, Your Majesty does not want to see you leave your homeland, abandon your family and children, and travel thousands of miles to come here. However, His Majesty must summon everyone here. Why is that? Do you know why? Do you know what you're fighting for? ”
"General, what are we fighting for?" In the midst of the armor, several voices rang out.
For most of the soldiers and people, they only knew that His Majesty ordered them to come to Liaodong, as for why they didn't know. And there are not many soldiers here, most of them are serving civilians, and they come here just to complete the tasks of the government.
Chen Kefu knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Liaodong, then his biggest reliance was on these people in front of him. But these people are not soldiers, now that everyone is left behind by Yang Guang, they have no choice but to follow him, once they have the opportunity, these people will return to the Central Plains, which is definitely a crisis for him.
It is unrealistic to leave all of them, and what he hopes now is to leave some of these hundreds of thousands of people.
Chen Kefu laughed a few times, "Okay, that's right, what are we fighting for?" We are fighting for Your Majesty and for the Great Sui. But why did our Great Sui and Our Majesty want to conquer Goguryeo? "
After asking a question, Chen Kefu looked around and said loudly, "My Central Plains of China, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the Central Plains was divided, and since then the first emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty unified the Central Plains, for more than 300 years, except for the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty in just a few decades. The whole of China was torn apart, and the north and the south were facing each other. In the entire Central Plains, beacons are everywhere, perennial wars, and a hundred years of life are miserable. ”
"It was my Great Sui who ended this centuries-long turbulent era, and it was my Great Sui who unified China and created a stable and prosperous society in the Great Sui. Now I, the people of the Great Sui, no longer have to worry about the continuous wars for many years, nor do I have to worry about the continuous invasion of the Hu people of the grassland. We are born with a stable life, land at home, and food in the tank. How did it all come about? And who guarantees all this? ”,
"It was His Majesty, it was given to us by His Majesty the Emperor." Tens of thousands of people below shouted in unison.
For these people, although the labor tax sent by the emperor is more, everyone can still feel the stability of these decades. No one has forgotten the lessons of their ancestors, and they also know that it was the Juntian Order of the Great Sui that allowed them to have their own land. In the eyes of most people, the Great Sui at this time was still a court maintained by the people.
Chen Kefu said loudly, "That's right, it was Your Majesty who gave us all this, and it was Your Majesty who ensured that we could live a free and stable life." We, the Great Sui, unified the Central Plains, defeated the Turkic people of the steppe, and we defeated the Tuyuhun, which threatened us in the northwest. These wars have ensured the stability of our loved ones and our lives. However, some people can't see us living such a stable life, and the Goguryeo people in Liaodong were just the princes of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty, but they have lived in the barbarian land for a long time, and these people no longer obey the king. In the land of Liaodong, there were four counties since the Han Dynasty, but for hundreds of years, they have been encroached upon by the Goguryeo people. ”
"Even, these barbarians who live in a corner of the country have taken their own country and dared to confront the Central Plains. They secretly colluded with the steppe Turks, wanted to conspire with the great country of our Central Plains, wanted to carve up our Central Plains as their cities, pastures and pastures, and wanted to plunder our relatives, our parents, wives and children as their slaves. Can we agree to such a thing? ”
"Can't! No! There was a roar of rage, and everyone was angry at the barbarians.
Chen Kefu smiled in his heart, although he had his own ideas and plans, but at this stage, Da Sui is his best coat, with the banner of Da Sui, he can always occupy the banner of righteousness, and can bring more people together.
"That's right, every descendant of Huaxia Yan and Huang will not agree to the ideas of those barbarians. With the efforts of the two emperors of the Great Sui, we created the prosperous era of the Great Sui, how can we promise to go back to the years of suffering in the past and let those barbarians ride on our heads. We don't agree, and Your Majesty doesn't either. In this way, we have three expeditions to Goguryeo, although there are millions of casualties, but what is the price of all this? It is worth it so that our loved ones in our family will no longer become slaves of others, and so that our children and grandchildren can have the same stable life as they do today. ”
On a drizzly night, above the city towers full of torches, Chen Kefu's calm but difficult words sounded in everyone's ears.
"This is now, right here, a time and place that we should all remember forever. Just after we experienced three wars against Goguryeo, millions of casualties, and the people also paid great sacrifices for it. Just today, at this moment, we finally broke through Liaodong City in one fell swoop. ”
"His Majesty the Emperor withdrew first because of the matter in the Central Plains, but he left us behind. Your Majesty has left us for today, for this moment. Today, we have taken the first fortress in the Far East, something that we have not succeeded in several times in the past. Not only that, but we also annihilated tens of thousands of Liao people, and we obtained countless grain and grass equipment. We not only took Liaodong City, but also let us take the new city and other four cities firmly in our hands. After more than 200 years, this city, which originally belonged to China, has finally been recovered today. By taking Liaodong, we finally temporarily curbed the ambitions of the Goguryeo people. We have made a great contribution to the stability of our Great Sui, and our descendants will no longer be threatened by the Goguryeo people. Today, we will go down in history and leave a name in history! ”
Bursts of cheers rang out, and all the soldiers were very excited, today they not only made military achievements and could be rewarded, but also so meaningful that they could be passed on to future generations.
"We have taken the first fortress in the Far East, taken the important town of Xincheng in Liaodong, and we are backed by the counties of Liaoxi in the Great Sui and occupy the strategic fortress in Liaodong. From then on, the Goguryeo people were no longer our opponents. However, the barbarians will not just give up, and these despicable and shameless Liao people will definitely try to fight back. They want to recapture the cities of Liaodong, they want to use this to attack our advance base in the Central Plains, they want to use this to loot our hometown, they want to rob our property, food, wives, sons and daughters, you say, can we give them this opportunity? ”,
"No, kill all those Liaodong dogs!" The roar of anger rose and fell in the east city of Liaodong City, echoing in the city for a long time, Liaodong City was the remaining people, at this time listening to the sound of this burst of screams, one by one closed the door of the house in fear, shrunk in the house and did not dare to go out half a step.
"Brothers, now that Your Majesty has led the army back to quell the chaos, there are only us left in Liaodong. Those Liaodong dog thieves are not dead and want to take this opportunity to retake the city of Liaodong. Now, behind us is our homeland, where are our parents, wives, children, we have no way to retreat, we must hold on to the cities of Liaodong, and never let these despicable barbarians burn the flames of war to our homeland. ”
"Don't retreat, never retreat!" Angry roars sounded, especially many older people living in Hebei, Hedong and other places, in the past, they would often encounter the plundering of the Hu people in those grasslands, and when they thought of the tragedy that had happened to their ancestors, fathers and other people would happen again, their chests rose and fell violently, their faces were swollen and red, and they roared with excitement and anger. Everyone's eyes were burning with anger at this time, and their chests were full of war intent. Even the most honest farmers on weekdays clenched their fists at this time.
With a choking sound, Chen Kefu took out the long knife on his waist and pointed it straight to the sky, "Okay, then, right here, at this moment, I swear with my brothers that I, Chen Kefu, will swear to defend Liaodong City to the death, and never let Liaodong City fall into the hands of the Liao people again." If the Liao people want to take Liaodong City and plunder my Central Plains, unless they step on my corpse! ”
Everyone shouted in unison, "Fight! War! War!!! ”
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of Sui people in front of him who were full of war intent, Chen Kefu was ecstatic in his heart, he finally took another step!
