Looking at the black-pressed captives gathered outside the city wall, Liu Zhibang cleared his throat and said loudly: "Brothers of the Flame Cavalry Regiment and the Black Ape Infantry Regiment, hello everyone, my name is Liu Zhibang, I am the patriarch of the Han nationality and the commander of the Han army...... I've invited you here to discuss something with you......"

"What the hell does he want to do......"

"It's not going to kill us all, look at the fierce soldiers on the side......"

"I don't think so, if you want to kill us, why bother talking nonsense, we are unarmed, at his mercy......"

"Listen carefully, I don't know where to send us to work as coolies......"

After the captives calmed down, Liu Zhibang continued: "Brothers, please raise your hands if you are from a rich family......

Prisoners under the city wall, look at me, I look at you, but no one raised their hands, thinking, who has money in the family and still comes out to be a soldier, the people who serve as soldiers are all poor and can't open the pot, otherwise who wants to do this work that will lose their heads at any time.

Seeing that no one raised his hand, Liu Zhibang smiled slightly, and continued: "I, Liu Zhibang, were also born in a poor family, and our entire Han people have also lived in poverty since childhood...... But even so, the Xia Yuan City Lord was still unwilling to let us go, they arbitrarily raised taxes on us, they arbitrarily found an excuse to take our people to be slaves, and our Han people were forced to rebel because they couldn't bear the oppression of the Xia Yuan City Lord...... Brothers, are you willing to sell your lives for the Xia Yuan City Lord? ”

"Who wants to work for him, it's not that the family can't open the pot, so I won't come to be a soldier......"

"I was captured and brought into the army......"

"I am also from Wumang Mountain, and I was forcibly conscripted into the army by the Xia Yuan City Lord......"

The captives exchanged heads, many with indignation on their faces, and a small number of them hung their heads and remained silent.

When Liu Zhibang saw this, he said loudly: "Brothers of the Han Army, you tell the brothers on the other side loudly, did you join the Han Army voluntarily, or did I, Liu Zhibang, force you to join?" ”

"We do it voluntarily!"

Hundreds of voices roared out in unison, and the captives turned pale, and every Han soldier held his head high and looked at Liu Zhibang on the city wall with reverence.

Liu Zhibang said again: "Brothers, do you know why they willingly joined the Han army? ”

A bold captive shouted at Liu Zhibang: "Liu ...... Commander, are there many benefits for these brothers to join the Han army? ”

Liu Zhibang threw an encouraging look at the captive under the city wall, and continued: "The soldiers of the Han army joined the Han army mainly because they shared the same hatred, that is to say, they were all deeply oppressed by the Xia Yuan City Lord, and they were unwilling to endure the oppression of the Xia Yuan City Lord, they would rather die in battle than live a slave life again...... Of course, on the other hand, our Han army has a very good treatment, although there is no military salary, but the birth, old age, sickness and death of each of them, including their families, will be given preferential treatment by our Han people, and everything is given priority to the soldiers, and then to others. There is no tax in our Han nationality, and all the property in the clan is distributed fairly, and I am treated the same as every Han army brother, and I will not get more than them a piece of meat, a foot of cloth, and a grain of rice...... It is precisely because of this that our brothers in the Han army will be brave and invincible, and the order is forbidden, and when they fight with you, you should have noticed the difference, but do you think about why they are so brave? ”

"How is it possible, he is a big official, how can he be treated the same as a big soldier, it must be a lie......" There was another discussion among the captives.

"Look at it, the big soldiers of the Han army on the other side have a very respectful look at that Commander Liu, maybe what he said is true......"

"Be a soldier, be a soldier, be a soldier and eat food, if it weren't for the sake of food, who of us would want to be a soldier......"

Liu Zhibang paused, and said: "I give you a choice, who is willing to join the Han army, we welcome, those who do not join will be assigned to be coolies, now I have dozens of voices, willing to join the Han army have come to this open space, and those who do not want to join can stay where they are......"

After speaking, Liu Zhibang pointed to a clearing on the side of the city wall, and the soldiers of the Han army gave way to a passage and stared at the prisoners vigilantly.

"One ......"

"Two ......"

"To go or not?"

"If you are tired of doing hard work, you may not necessarily die if you are a soldier, and you still have enough food to eat, why don't you go to ......"

"Hey...... Why are you running so fast, and you don't help me......"

"Nine ......"

Before Liu Zhibang could finish shouting ten times, there was not a single prisoner left in the original circle, and all of them walked to the open space on the other side, looking at Liu Zhibang with blank eyes.

Liu Zhibang nodded with great satisfaction, and Aya whispered beside him: "Abang, these soldiers are all obedient, what about those officers?" ”

Liu Zhibang said to a herald next to him: "You go and ask the logistics team to serve food to these surrendered prisoners...... After the herald left, Liu Zhibang looked back at Aya and said, "Go and find the lowest-ranking officers......

After a while, dozens of low-ranking officers were brought out, and as soon as they were brought under the city wall, they smelled the smell of food, and looked at the soldiers on the other side who were eating in large pieces, and their saliva flowed, they were really hungry.

"Uh-huh...... Hello everyone! ”

The dozens of low-ranking officers heard someone talking on the city wall, turned their nostalgic gaze to the city head, and saw Liu Zhibang with a smile like a wolf grandmother.

Liu Zhibang saw that the eyes of those low-level officers were attracted to him, and said, "Everyone is hungry, right?" ”

Dozens of people under the city wall nodded like chickens pecking rice, and Liu Zhibang continued: "Do you want to eat!" ”

"Want to ......"

"Why don't you think about it, you're starving to death......"

"Commander Liu, when is the time to eat?"

The dozens of low-level officers shouted louder than one another, they only had food in their hearts, and they really couldn't think about how Liu Zhibang would design himself.

Liu Zhibang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, before eating, I have something I want to discuss with you......

"What's the matter, Commander Liu said quickly, you can start the meal after speaking......"

Liu Zhibang induced: "Do you know why those brothers can sit there and eat meat? ”

The low-ranking officers under the city wall looked at each other, not understanding why, and could only look at Liu Zhibang.

Liu Zhibang continued: "It's just that they are willing to join our Han army, brothers, I will give you a choice, either join our Han army, or send you to the coolie camp, you can discuss it!" ”
