I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 276 Youzhou is never barren! (Change the chapter name!)

As Han Shao finished speaking, there was silence on the top of the Champion City.

Even breathing was suppressed subconsciously.

Only the cold wind coming from the grassland in the north blew the big flag at the top of the city.

Jiang Hu, Li Jing and others who accompanied Han Shao all the way to the city couldn't help but look at Han Shao in surprise.

Obviously he didn't understand why the Marquis would ask this question to ordinary people like Han Sanlang.

Han Shao did not explain, but looked at Han Sanlang calmly, as if waiting for his answer.

Perhaps it was Han Shao's kindness and kindness that made Han Sanlang let go of his caution and timidity.

At this time, Han Sanlang's face finally regained some humanity, but his expression was still dull, even looking a little stupid.

Chen Da and Lao Zhang, who were on the side, became a little anxious when they saw this.

'You bastard! What's there to hesitate about? '

'It's definitely a sure win! '

If you give a negative answer at this time, wouldn't you be a fool?

If he was accused of "shaking the morale of the army before the war", wouldn't he be able to live with it?
Carefully pulling off Han Sanlang's clothes, Chen Da urged.

"Sanlang! What are you doing standing still? The Marquis is asking you something!"

As he said that, he didn't forget to wink at him and signal him not to talk nonsense.

Han Sanlang raised his eyes to meet Chen Da's anxious and worried eyes, and felt warm in his heart.

He understood what Chen Da meant and also understood Chen Da's concern.

He even knows how to reply at this moment to avoid causing trouble for himself.

But after experiencing the initial panic, he seemed to be dull and stupid, but his mind became more active.

Because he suddenly discovered that this seemingly ordinary question might be a rare opportunity for him.

Once you catch it, not to mention the glory and wealth in this life, at least you can change your destiny a little bit.

He wouldn't be like now, just an ordinary citizen, mediocre all his life, and never turn around.

Thinking about this period of time, I have been worried about the grassland barbarians going south, but I feel frustrated and helpless.

Han Sanlang simply set his heart aside and said directly.

"Master Hou! The common people are ignorant and dare not make false claims about victory or defeat on the battlefield!"

After saying this, Chen Dazhen on the side really wanted to beat this bastard and idiot to death!
When the Marquis asks you, if you reply with a few nice words, you will die!

If you make the Marquis unhappy, can you afford it?

But just when Chen Da was glaring at Han Sanlang with a look of hatred, he saw the guy suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

"The common people only know that in the past year, Lord Marquis has given me food and shelter! It is difficult to repay such a great favor!"

"That's why the common people are so bold. I just ask the Marquis to give the common people a chance to repay their kindness!"

"If the barbarians go south, please ask the Marquis to give you weapons. The common people are willing to sacrifice their lives to defend the city for the Marquis! In return for the Marquis' kindness!"

Hearing Han Sanlang's sincere words, Chen Da and his father-in-law, who had just hated the iron, were dumbfounded.

But Han Shao looked at this person with the same surname with great interest.

I did not continue to ask about the so-called victory or defeat.

After all, he didn't intend to hear anything shocking from this guy's mouth.

He is just an ordinary person with some meager cultivation. Even if he is born smart, he may have more ideas and guesses than ordinary people.

But in the end, due to horizons and information, what we know is extremely limited.

Just like he could guess that there would be a big war this winter, but he didn't know that the barbarian Khan had actually broken through to heaven, and he didn't know that the strength of the barbarian army going south this time would be far greater than before.

Without so much information for reference, how can we make the so-called conclusion of victory or defeat?

The reason why I have such a question is actually a bit difficult to say.

That means he, Han, is a little nervous...

When I was in school in my previous life, the teacher always said that 'the examination room is like a battlefield'.

Han Shao didn't feel deeply at that time.

After all, for him in his previous life, it didn't matter if he failed in the exam.

He won't be beaten, his pocket money won't be reduced by half a penny, and he won't die because of it.

But now that Han Shao had savored these words, he had a different feeling.

The battlefield is like an examination room.

Sometimes, no matter how well prepared you are, you will still feel a little uneasy or even uneasy just before setting foot in the examination room.

Because this 'exam' will really cost you your life.

Give him his life.

He also sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of loyal and brave men under his command.

By the way, there are also the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in this city.

Now, he, Han, is no longer the lone wolf on the battlefield who was naked and careless when he first came to this world.

With care, there is constant wealth.

Naturally, I can no longer be a bachelor.

Even if he were asked to lead the defeated army of 300 soldiers and re-enact last year's battle, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Risk-taking and gambling are only games for the proletarians.

The more you have, the more afraid you are of losing it, and the less courage you have.

Even Han Shao is not exempt from this.

Fortunately, Han Shao knew how to adjust and relieve his emotions, and he also concealed them very well.

Therefore, even Jiang Hu, Li Jing and others did not notice the slightest change in Han Shao's mood.

"You want to join the army?"

Hearing Han Shao's words, even though Han Sanlang was somewhat prepared, he still hesitated for a moment.

It's just that smart people can be called smart people.

That is, they will always make the best choice for themselves when they are in a helpless situation.

Just like Han San, he was afraid of the barbarians going south and was afraid of death.

But when you find that this kind of thing cannot be avoided, holding a weapon yourself is undoubtedly the best choice.

So his eyes flickered slightly, and Han Sanlang said decisively.

"Please Lord Marquis, please grant me your permission!"

When Han Shao heard this, his eyes became more and more playful.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a word from Han Sanlang.

People can't be seen.

He looks dull and almost stupid, but he is actually shrewd and intelligent.

At the very least, many people will never learn this characteristic of knowing how to climb up a pole.

As for specific abilities, it's hard to say.

This takes time to verify and cannot be seen at a glance.

Thoughts flashed across his mind, Han Shao stepped forward with a smile, and once again personally stepped forward to help him up.

"Yes, your courage is commendable!"

"It's just a pity that I can't promise you."

After saying this, Han Sanlang's eyes were filled with disappointment.

Seeing that he wanted to say something more, Han Shao shook his head and interrupted.

Then he glanced at the people in the city who were repairing the city wall on the top of the city, and said seriously.

"Do you still remember what I told you when you entered the city?"

When all the people heard this, their expressions were shocked.

remember!

How can I not remember?
That day, when they were under the city, the Marquis stood on the city and told them.

"From now on, you are my subjects."

"Since you are well-off, you must protect your family."

"If one day this city is robbed, I will die first!"

"This oath, heaven and earth will learn from it, the sun and moon will learn from it, and you will learn from it too!"

"If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"

That promise was deafening.

Almost instantly, they calmed down their uneasy hearts when they first arrived. Now Han Shao repeated this sentence again in front of them, and then said in a deep voice.

"Do you believe me?"

With almost no hesitation, a voice of response came from the entire city.

"letter!"

"The Marquis trusts people! Of course we believe in the Marquis!"

Among them, Chen Da shouted loudly.

"That's right! If it weren't for Mr. Hou, how could we have the good life we ​​have now!"

"If anyone doesn't believe it, I, Chen Da, will be the first one not to let him go!"

In the past year, many of Han Shao's actions to 'support the people' have finally worked.

Although in a sense, Han Shao never really gave them anything for free.

The houses allocated to them are only temporary.

In the future, they will need to pay some money to redeem it year by year before it can truly belong to them.

And the price is not low.

Even the so-called food and clothing given to them are just the rewards they deserve for their hard work.

I'm just afraid of comparison in everything.

In this rotten world, compared with other places where warriors often break the rules and kill people, rich families live in rural areas, and the government imposes excessive taxes, Han's champion city, where everything is only for war, seems like a paradise.

I have to say that some things in this world are so full of black humor.

Sometimes those at the top only need to be willing to give a little kindness, and they can reap praise and admiration when they fall below.

One call and a hundred responses are made without saying anything, and some are even willing to die for it.

Han Shao put away the sadness in his heart and turned to look at Han Sanlang in front of him again.

"Do you know why I rejected you?"

Han Sanlang was puzzled.

Han Shao smiled gently and patted his shoulder gently.

"Because it's not your turn yet."

"Until I and my soldiers are dead, there is no need for ordinary people like you to pick up weapons to protect yourselves."

"In that case, it will be a shame to me and my soldiers!"

"And what you have to do now is to trust me and the soldiers under my command!"

Facing Han Shao's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, Han Sanlang suddenly realized that his little thoughts were nowhere to be seen in front of the Marquis.

Under the panic in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little shy.

But at this time, Han Shao no longer looked at him, nor at the ordinary people around him.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the soldiers of the city defense camp under Jiang Hu on the other side.

The city defense camp was formed from the beacon guards that Han Shao had abolished.

To say that they are unfamiliar, they are the most unfamiliar to Han Shao among all the troops under Han Shao's command.

He neither had the glorious experience of following Han Shao across the grasslands, nor had he witnessed Han Shao's unique style galloping among hundreds of thousands of barbarian armies under the former Dingbei City.

Even when Han Shao led the soldiers to the city gate to make a pledge, they were not participants.

But so what?
Don't forget, a few days ago, 50,000 barbarian troops came to the city, and their city defense camp also had no cowards!
Three thousand Zhenliao heavy armors are in front, and they are behind, not taking a step back!

So when they faced Han Shao's gaze at this time, they didn't feel any timidity or guilt.

Han Shao smiled with satisfaction at them.

"Do you think what I said just now makes sense?"

When all the soldiers heard the words, they responded loudly.

"What the Marquis said makes sense!"

"We, the warriors, are wearing armor. If we cannot defend our territory and protect the people, it will be a disgrace to our warriors!"

Han Shao nodded.

Then, surrounded by Jiang Hu and others, he passed through the soldiers and civilians and walked to the battlements, looking at the vast grassland in the distance that was withering yellow in the cold wind.

After a while, he suddenly said quietly.

"There are two capitals and twenty-eight states in the Great Yong world! But I, Youzhou, is located in the far north! It is also the coldest!"

"Everyone in the world thinks that Youzhou is adjacent to the wilderness and the land is barren!"

When Han Shao said this, he paused.

But the next moment, the voice suddenly became louder.

"But I don't see it that way!"

"In my opinion, the land of Youzhou has never been barren of grass!"

"Do you know why?"

Jiang Hu, Li Jing and other generals looked at Han Shao and were not in a hurry to speak.

The soldiers and civilians who followed also remained silent.

Everyone is waiting for Han Shao's answer.

And Han Shao obviously didn't let them wait too long, and then said directly.

"Thirteen years ago! My late father died in battle! Only a piece of armor was left and was brought home by my uncle!"

Seeing Han Shao suddenly mention this, Jiang Hu behind him was stunned for a moment.

Then his thoughts flew around, as if he returned to the war that he never wanted to remember.

The war horses neighed and the robes shouted.

In the end, he came back, but his biological brother and the eldest brother of the Han family, who was no less than his biological brother, could not come back to protect him.

Three horses go and one horse returns.

To this day, Jiang Hu still can't forget the way Han Shao looked at him when he was still a child.

The north wind was blowing fiercely, and Jiang Hu's eyes were red.

At this time, Han Shao had already continued.

"One year ago! In that battle, the bones of my Marquis Paoze were buried in the battle formation, and I don't know how many people there were!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Li Jing and others behind him pursed their lips tightly and lowered their eyes in silence.

"So! In my eyes! The land in Youzhou has never been barren! It has never been barren! Because this land has been irrigated by flesh and blood since ancient times!"

"And now, I am willing to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors! Use our flesh and blood to continue to irrigate this land!"

"To create eternal peace for our descendants! We will not rest until death!"

After Han Shao finished speaking these complete words, he turned around suddenly and looked directly at the soldiers on the top of the city, as well as the accompanying generals such as Li Jing and Zhao Mu.

"Would you like that?"

Just four words, accompanied by the magic power of the Seventh Realm True Immortal, rolled in like a tide.

Li Jing and the others, who had been silent all the way, immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped their fists and raised their hands without any hesitation.

"I am willing to follow the Marquis and create peace for our descendants for eternity! Until death!"

The next moment, the soldiers of the city defense battalion guarding the city also knelt on one knee.

"I am willing to follow the Marquis and create peace for our descendants for eternity! Until death!"

Looking at the scene in front of them, the people on the top of the city knew that the Marquis was talking to those armored soldiers.

But somehow, when I think of Lord Hou's words, 'My land in Youzhou has never been barren! It’s never a barren patch of grass! Because this land has been irrigated by flesh and blood since ancient times! '

Everyone just felt like there was a fire burning in their chest.

Even Han Sanlang, who had always been timid and timid, was like this.

In an instant, no one knew who was the first to respond.

"I am willing to follow the Marquis and create peace for our descendants for eternity! Until death!"

Then came the second, third, and so on.

In an instant, a huge sound almost swept through the entire Champion City.

This caused everyone to subconsciously look up in the direction of the city.

Among them are those members of the wealthy clan who have received certain information.

They were hesitating whether to escape early like last year, and looked towards the city in surprise.

"Our Lord Marquis...what is he doing again?"
