Chapter 525: Survival

The people in the field gathered densely, but they were silent, and only Gu Yanzhang's voice could be heard echoing in the air.

After Gu Yanzhang finished speaking, he paused for a while, lowered his head, and casually nodded a man in his twenties a few steps away, and asked, "Are you from Yongzhou?" ”

When everyone saw Gu Yanzhang looking over, they subconsciously let go, and the man's side was suddenly empty.

That person's dress is not very different from the common young people in the streets and alleys of Yongzhou, no matter his appearance and height, he is ordinary, he was pointed out by Gu Yanzhang, he was shocked and frightened, he listened to the question, only closed his mouth, did not answer, but did not shake his head to deny.

Gu Yanzhang asked, "Your ancestor is from Yongzhou?" ”

The man tilted his head slightly, but still did not speak.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "Do you still have parents?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Gu Yanzhang asked again, "Do you have a wife and children in the room?" ”

The man hesitated, then nodded.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "Do you have a house and land at home?" ”

The man opened his mouth, but nodded again.

Gu Yanzhang said: "Jiaozhi is on the side, is it just to enjoy the transaction?" Even if the city gate is opened, you take your parents, wife and children to flee for your life, many soft and family things, how many miles can you travel in a day? Do the thieves chase fast, or do you run away? He is just a knife and a stick, but you are a family's life, but if there is a bad pool, you can't be saved even if you ask for heaven. ”

As he spoke, he tore off the belt around his waist, "brushed" the official robe outside, threw it hard, and threw it on the ground, the action was extremely free, as if what he threw away was not the official uniform that ordinary people had begged for a lifetime, but some kind of waste that could be thrown away.

There was a stir below, and everyone was dumbfounded, but they didn't know what it meant.

Gu Yanzhang was just wearing an ordinary robe, standing on top of the stone lion at this time, compared with Fang Cai, it was just one less official uniform, but it was inexplicably more indescribable aura.

At present, he does not look like a high-ranking official, but like a "people" who is with everyone present, but he is not an ordinary "people".

Gu Yanzhangfu said loudly: "I was born in Yanzhou, more than ten years ago, the Beiban knocked on the side, broke my country, set fire to the city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered by it, my parents and brothers all died overnight, the family, relatives and friends were also nearly killed and injured, I and the villagers fled along the way, when the city was still thousands, but half a day, it was caught up by the Beiban, only a few hundred escaped with their lives, along the way corpses, blood flowed like the sea, corpses everywhere, like my life, I live to this day, I don't know how much is left, Yanzhou City was destroyed in one fell swoopand all the houses and fields were burned down......"

He raised his head, as if he was looking at the people standing not far away, and seemed to be looking at the people in the distance, and said again: "Once the state city is broken, what will happen to your parents, brothers, wives and children, relatives and friends?" What about Yongzhou Biyanzhou? Can you really get the creation of heaven and earth, with the help of heaven, so that the thieves can attack the city, can you not make any mistakes?! ”

He lowered his head, stared at the young man from Fang Cai, and said again: "Where will your ancestors' houses, fields, clans, and tombs be restored at that time?!" Yongzhou City survives for a day, it can protect the people for a day, Yongzhou City dies for a day, and the people and soldiers in the city will no longer have protection, which is worse than the lost dog! ”

The man's face flushed slightly red at what he said.

Gu Yanzhang no longer stared at him, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the tall tree in the distance, and then said: "Wait and look at that tree, the bird's nest is overturned, no matter the young birds or the eggs, how can there be a life?!" ”

At this time, it is already winter, Yongzhou is not like the north, even in the depths of winter, the leaves are few, only the green land grows on the top, and there is a bird's nest faintly hidden between the trees, there is no movement, but now Gu Yanzhang pointed at it casually, and thousands of people in the field looked at it together.

Suddenly, as if frightened by the staring of so many, a crow flew out of the nest, quacked, and flew away with great speed.

Inexplicably, many people in the audience shivered.

Gu Yanzhang paused for a while, then asked the man again, "How old are you?" ”

The man finally stopped being silent and whispered, "Seven out of twenty......"

Gu Yanzhang said, "Are you really a man?!" Are you really a crown?! The eldest husband does not protect his family and defend the country, and if he does not go into battle to kill the enemy, he will have spare time to gather in front of the ya! The thieves are outside the city, how many brave men are guarding the city gates, how many men are bloody, there are heroes to protect your parents, wives and children, and there are heroes to protect your fields and families, is it that you are here to relax?! ”

He pressed all the way, and at the beginning he didn't speak fast, but when he got to the end, one sentence after another, one sentence after another, not only did the man speechless, but also said that many young and middle-aged people in the audience shrank and did not dare to raise their heads.

Gu Yanzhang didn't let him go this time, and said again: "In the future, if Yongzhou is broken, the whole city will die, and I will die with you!" If the DPRK comes to the aid and defeats the thieves, you and I will be able to survive and live for decades, and when your grandson Chenghuan is on his knees, he will ask 'Where were you when Yongzhou was besieged in the past', how do you answer? ”

He stared at the man and asked aloud, "How are you going to answer?!" Answer: 'I have others who bloody the enemy in the battle, and your grandfather and I are splashing and farting in front of the yamen?' ”

The man was so red that he couldn't answer a word, and he wanted to hide in the crowd, but everyone gave way to an open space, and everyone nearby looked at him, so he had to cover his face with his hands, as if he were standing on the tip of a needle, and he couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour.

After Gu Yanzhang finished asking, he didn't hold on to him anymore, just looked behind him, looking for the young people to stare at them one by one.

This time, his gaze was the gaze of the crowd, and he saw that the young and middle-aged people in the field were ashamed of themselves, and they just wanted to burrow their heads into the soil and bury them deeper.

He raised his head and shouted to the thousands of people outside the yamen: "Fathers, elders, neighbors! Now 100,000 barbarian soldiers are surrounded outside the city, and the reinforcements are still halfway, whether they are dead or alive, only you and I are fighting side by side! You and I fight for our parents! Fight for your wife! Fight for your brothers! Fight for your sisters! Fight for the state city where our ancestors have lived for generations! Fight for yourself! The people of the city look at you and me, if you have a force, you will make a force, and you will not have half a force, just don't drag others to make a force, it is a help! ”

As he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked loudly: "Today, six hundred and three soldiers died for Yongzhou, and their names and origins have all been copied in the book. Wait until Jiaozhi will attack the city again, I am willing to be the six hundred and four people, and you are willing to live and die with Yongzhou like me? ! ”
