Chapter 408 Conscription
In the county town of Hanning County, a group of people stood in front of the bulletin board and pointed.

"You said, is it too late for King Liao to return to Liaozhou to recruit troops after losing the battle this time?"

An old man who looked to be five or sixty years old stroked his white beard and asked everyone.

"I guess it's about the same. Think about it, what kind of character is the lord? He can be said to be decisive in killing. This time he suffered such a big loss. If he doesn't seek revenge from these people, he won't be our lord. !"

Another old man analyzed.

"I said what are you two old men yelling about here, make way for me, let me see what the notice says! I want to be a soldier too!"

A young man with steamed buns in his hand said to the two old men impolitely.

"Hey, you young man, how can you be so rude, even if your father sees us, he has to call me brother or brother!"

The person who spoke first said in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, two old men, I'm sorry, I don't have a father, and what I said is true. You are so old, don't you still want to join the army? Don't say whether you want to go, just sign up, my lord I can't want you either!"

The young man took another bite of the steamed bun and said.

"You little bastard, do you talk like that! Also, if the two of us can't join the army, don't the two of us have sons? Can't our two sons join the army?"

The other old man rolled his eyes at the young man, and said as well.

"You guys, just say it nicely. I see that you two are well-dressed. Even if you are not a rich family, you must have enough food and clothing. It is a joke that you are willing to let your son go to the battlefield!"

After stuffing the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, the young man walked towards the Liaozhou army barracks and said, "You rich people only think about comfort, and you don't think about what happens if Liaozhou is breached. Can you still have a comfortable life? Your comfortable life is based on the Liao King's rule of Liaozhou. If the Liao King is defeated, you guys have to go back to being poor!"

After finishing speaking, the man strode away and walked towards the Liaozhou Army barracks without looking back.

Only a group of ashamed old men were left behind.

"Brother, although this young man is impolite, everything he said is true!"

"Yeah, I'll go home and ask, and see who among the little bastards in our family is willing to be a soldier, let him go!"

After these people finished speaking, they all went back home to ask if their family members wanted to serve as soldiers in the Liaozhou Army.

This incident and what the young man said spread widely, which aroused the enthusiasm of Liaozhou people to join the army.

"Father! I'm going to be a soldier!"

In a small village in Tao County, a young man aged seventeen or eighteen said to his father.

"Huh? It turned against you, and you still want to be a soldier? You don't want to die?"

The middle-aged man who was bending over to work straightened up and cursed at his son.

"Father, why don't you die as a soldier?"

The young man stiffened his neck and met his father's eyes.

"Do you know how many people the Liaozhou Army lost in this war? Little bastard, let me tell you that the Liaozhou Army lost a total of 15 people. What kind of concept is this? Only half of the 20 people came back. You fucking gave me this idea as soon as possible. Why did our family move here from Montenegro? Isn't it to live a peaceful life and avoid the suffering of war? Give me what to do!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man bent down again and began to harvest Shu Li.

"Father, I am also thinking about our family. Think about it. If I serve as a soldier, not only can I save food for my family, but also earn a lot of money every month. Then our family will have money to support my younger brother." Have you studied yet, besides, Liaozhou is currently employing people, if the prince’s soldiers are not recruited, then we in Liaozhou will be bullied, how can we live a stable life!"

The young man countered again.

"This?"

The middle-aged man stood up straight again, looked at his son, and remained silent for a long time.

After staring at it for a long time, the middle-aged man sighed helplessly, and then said: "Oh, what you said is also reasonable, but if something happens to you on the battlefield, then your mother and I will probably both I don't know how to live!"

"Oh, that's all, since you insist on being a soldier, then I won't stop you, but you have to be careful outside, after all, swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield!"

"Hey, Dad, don't worry, I've been lucky since I was a child, and nothing will happen!"

After the young man finished speaking, his father stopped working, and said to him: "Okay, then I won't work today, I'll go buy some wine and meat, tonight, let's have a drink, it's considered I practiced it for you!"

With that said, the middle-aged father picked up the hoe and took his son home.

That night, the father and son drank until late at night, and the next day the young man packed his bags and walked to Tao County.

Such scenes are repeated in countless places in Liaozhou.

"Feng Xiao, how is the conscription going?"

Inside Xiangping Palace, Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"My lord, the conscription plan is going smoothly! The people of our Liaozhou are very supportive of our conscription! From the issuance of the conscription order to the present, we have recruited [-] soldiers and horses, and there are still more soldiers every day." The young and strong from Liaozhou came to join us!"

Guo Jia answered.

"Well, that's good. I'll go to watch it tomorrow. By the way, I will show my face and announce our next plan to everyone! I will also exercise my muscles and bones. I have been suffocating in the palace these days, and I am almost exhausted!"

Liu Wei stood up and stretched, and said lazily to Guo Jia.

Is the conscription progress of the Liaozhou Army really so smooth? The answer is of course no.

The next day, Liu Wei took Hubenwei to the barracks outside the city.

From a long distance, I saw the conscripted soldiers confronting a group of people there.

I saw the leader said to the recruiting soldiers: "You still want to recruit soldiers, huh? You fucking have the face to recruit soldiers? How many soldiers and horses did you lose at the junction of Youzhou and Qingzhou? Conscription? You want our innocent people in Liaozhou to die, right?"

"That's right, that's right! You're still recruiting soldiers, so get rid of it as soon as possible!"

"what's going on?"

Liu Wei turned around and looked at Yang Jindao and asked.

"This, the subordinates don't know either! I'll go and ask!"

Yang Jindao said embarrassedly, and then wanted to go to the conscription side.

"No need, let's see the situation!"

Liu Wei stopped Yang Jindao, then quietly walked aside, watching the things in front of him.

Since Liu Wei and Hubenwei were both in casual clothes, no one noticed them, and they thought Liu Wei was a rich man who came to watch the fun.
