Chapter 373: Cneering is better than fanning the flames!
"You are afraid, I am as afraid as you are, I have a family in Jiangnan, a lady, and a child who is about to be born, but I still came here!"
"Of course, I'm not trying to say how great I am, I just want to say that the meaning of life is not only to live, but also to be able to defend one's home and family Now, the Jin soldiers are likely to capture here, I'm not sure, but now there is no defensible power here, I believe that many people are ready to escape"
"But has anyone ever thought that many people have fled from here, but are those people really living well? Along the way, even in Jiangnan, I have seen many people who have wandered from Yanyun, who have left their homes and are still living a life that is even more difficult than your current life."
"Now, there are not many people in Youzhou City, but I believe that there will not be many Jin Bing, if you are willing, bring up two jars of wine every day and follow me to guard Liyu Gorge, I invite you to drink"
"If you can keep it, I will do business here in the future, you will settle down here, the children will have a book, you can take the test in the future, you can do some small business in the city, even if you can sell cooking cakes, as long as Youzhou can hold on, the Great Zhao State can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, you will definitely live a hundred times better than now If you can't keep it, then you continue to live like now, are you willing?"
Song Yi's voice is very loud, but in fact, there is not much incitement in his words, he just uses a cold tone to objectively explain the situation, he knows that it is useless for him to talk too much.
What Song Yi wants to say is to let them understand what will happen if they hold Youzhou, and what will happen if they can't hold it
Zhou Bangyan on the side was a little anxious, he felt that Song Yi's attitude was not enthusiastic enough and not generous enough!
"Why should we believe you? That's a war to death" A rough man in the crowd grinned, if he wasn't reluctant to two jars of wine, he wouldn't have come, and he thought that what Song Yi said was.
Song Yi sneered and looked at him and replied loudly, "It's good that people will die in battle, isn't it true that the soldiers of the Great Zhao Kingdom are all King Kong bodies and won't die?" Do they like to fight? Even if they take it, they are still doing things to protect the land and the people, right? If you don't believe me, of course you can, but my words are not difficult to understand, if you are willing to be poor, then you will be poor for a lifetime! After death, let your deceased grandchildren continue to be poor, and continue to spurn you, whose ancestors are incapable of keeping a peaceful land? If you don't want to be poor, follow me to defend Liyu Gorge, I have no right to order you, because I am not a general, and no one here will be my soldiers!" You don't have to fight for anything else, and if you have to fight for something, it must be for yourselves! ”
The black-faced man was stabbed by Song Yi's words, his face turned red and black, and he hid in the depths of the crowd, and the crowd fell into a short silence.
Song Yi's words were indeed very stinging, not even like asking these people to go to the battlefield at all, but agitating the generals, but his words were very clear, so clear that everyone understood them
Not to fight for any purpose, but to not be poor! For posterity
A drunk man who didn't seem to have woken up broke out, staggered behind Song Yi and lifted two jars of wine, opened the seal and began to drink, muttering in his mouth, "I don't care, anyway, life is not very good, after drinking these two jars of wine, even if Lao Tzu dies, it is not cowardly, hehehe"
Song Yi glanced back with a smile, suggesting that Wu Jian stop the man from drinking all the wine in one go
"But we can't fight, the Jin soldiers are so powerful, even the mighty army can't contain them, how can we do it?" A middle-aged woman said with a worried face.
There were many echoes in the crowd.
Song Yi looked at the woman and smiled, and then said with a calm face, "The ancestors of the Jin people are also hunters who hunt everywhere, they are bitter and have no way to pick up the bow and arrow sword, but they are in the wrong direction, they began to rob and bully the people of my Great Zhao And now, the people of our Great Zhao Kingdom and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are also miserable, can you only be driven away by others, and you are so bitter that you don't even have the courage to resist, even to defend your home?" Without a home, what is the difference between being alive and dying? ”
"It's better to die than to live," someone muttered.
The crowd erupted in laughter!
"If you like to live, you have to be given a way to live, you probably don't understand the importance of the loss of Youzhou, but you all know that the Jin people are powerful, they may not kill all the people if they break the city, but do you think the Jin people will not kill people? Who among you will be the one who dies, and no one knows the way, right? Or is it possible that when the Jin people are killed, everyone of us present will die, right? Song Yi said.
"You're scaring us!" An old man leaned on crutches and said that he had a daughter snatched away by the Jin people the year before last, but he was still afraid that the Jin people were afraid to die, and living for people of his age had become the most greedy people
"I said it, I have a family in Jiangnan, there are a few good-looking ladies, one of them is pregnant with my child, and he is about to give birth, you have also seen, I can afford to buy so much wine, my family is naturally rich than afraid, I am better than you, but I have a group of brothers who died here, so I want to come and get back those lives In your opinion, am I trying to scare you?"
"People live, there will be various choices, if the choice is not good, then the poor will choose well, even if they are still poor, but the big things they have done, others will not forget, and they will be proud!"
"Anyway, I'm going to Liyu Gorge tonight! No matter how many people follow me, even if no one goes with me, there are only a few people, and I will guard that if no one goes, then I will hire you to help me carry this wine, and I am alone, even if I am drunk in Liyu Gorge, it is much better than dying! ”
Song Yi said word for word, with more irony than encouragement in his tone.
Zhou Bangyan was very anxious, but very helpless. Song Yi's words came to this, even if he wanted him to change his words, these people who came would definitely not believe it
It's just that the crowd is silent.
A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark. What Song Yi said was not helpful to scolding people, these people were indeed not comfortable listening at all, but many of them still wanted that face after all, so they began to think
After a long time, out of the crowd came a thin boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing sackcloth that looked like it had been cut out of a burlap bag.
Walking in front of Song Yi, he raised his face and looked at Song Yi and said, "Actually, I don't know how to drink, but I'm willing to go with you, I'm not afraid of death!" ”
"Okay, when you come back, I will invite you to drink wine and eat meat, if you go to Jiangnan in the future, I will take you to visit the best Qinglou!" Song Yi said with a smile.
The thin young man smiled, walked past Song Yi, and stood on Wu Jian's side.
Most of the people in the crowd recognized this young man as Ge Nie, the son of a local veteran who died in battle in Youzhou, and now he is also an orphan! This kid is a good kid in everyone's eyes, and at this time, he actually walked to Song Yi's side, and the kind-hearted old man wanted to call him to stop, but he stopped
Next, several people who were on good terms with Ge Nie also stood up
"I'm afraid of death! Can I just help you carry the wine over and come back? A woman stood in front of Song Yi and asked timidly.
"Yes," Song Yi nodded.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily and stood at the very edge of the few people behind Song Yi
Someone was laughing at Song Yi for being greedy and ignorant and careful to give her life
In such a mockery, the people who were originally a little wavering suddenly did not dare to come over.
Just when Song Yi frowned slightly, suddenly his gaze was stunned!
An old man with a cane walked out of the crowd is the old man who questioned Song Yi before, and many people present knew that this old man was one of the most afraid of death in Youzhou City, and when his daughter was snatched away, he hid under the bed and didn't dare to come out
The old man walked in front of Song Yi, raised his head and glanced at Song Yi with great difficulty, and then walked behind Song Yi
"Old man Dongguo is stupid, right?"
"Hey! Coward Dongguo, you're confused, aren't you? Going over there to die? ”
“”
There were too many taunts from the crowd that made Song Yi feel harsh and unhappy, but he himself was a little furrowed.
It was just because of the old man Dongguo's actions that the crowd became a little unquiet, and many people began to move
Aunt Cuihua, who was standing not far from Wu Jian, looked at the old man Dongguo who was standing beside her in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Old man Dongguo, you old bones, are you going to die?" ”
"Hehe, I thought about it, although it's okay for Lai to live, but I miss my girl a little," the old man, who had always been ridiculed as a coward, said in a calm tone.
Aunt Cuihua was slightly sluggish.
Even Wu Jian, hearing these calm and old words, couldn't help but be slightly moved.
After all, there are no unrighteous people in this world
Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the crowd, and a woman pulled a man to prevent him from leaving, but the man slapped the woman in the face and scolded a few words, and resolutely pushed away the crowd and walked in front of Song Yi.
"Sprinkle the family Geng Dabiao! It's really hard to listen to you just now, but I understand, I want to be a living and understanding person, you are right, this is my home, I won't go anywhere, I will go with you to guard Liyu Gorge! The big man is sturdy, and he speaks in a rough voice, it is Geng Dabiao, the butcher in the city, who is usually temperamental and very popular, but this time he was not stopped by his rather beautiful girl, and slapped the woman
After Geng Dabiao finished speaking, he stood behind Song Yi, and at this time, the woman who was slapped by him also rushed out of the crowd, crying and shouting, "I will go with you in charge."
Song Yi saw that the little woman who was covering her face and crying did have a bit of a posture, especially the round butt when she was running, which was quite amorous.
Just because a timid old man and a dutiful butcher suddenly changed their temperament, there was a big wave in the crowd, and there was an uproar for a while, and a large group of wine and meat brothers who were good with Geng Butcher walked out of the crowd in an instant, walked towards Geng Dabiao, and muttered, "Brother Da Biao and so on."
Passionate blood, never instigated by outsiders, only boiled because of the right and wrong in the heart!
Song Yi smiled slightly, and now it seems that he can still believe in the inherent goodness of human nature
