Cui Jun, Cheng Liang and others were highly efficient. The next morning, they dragged a total of 367000 people to a huge school yard in the city.

Five thousand Anmin army guarded the city on the city wall, and 30000 troops under the city wall surrounded the school site several times with shining armor and polished weapons.

More than 30000 people looked around at the solemn, heavily armed guys, and felt a little drumming in their hearts.

"Why do you want new Duwei

"I don't know, but Liu Du Wei is really brave. You see, all the people who were taken to work as private soldiers for their families by those powerful men have come back. It's a full twelve powerful families. In two days, none of Liu Duwei left, and all of them lost their homes. "

"Oh! It's hard for him to fight against the local tyrants, but those families are not good things either. It's not unjust to punish the nine clans for their crimes. "

"What do you know! Now the imperial court is incompetent, and our food and rates are often in arrears. Last month's payment was not only 20% less, but also mixed with furfural. Although those families are villains who eat people and don't spit their bones, the situation in Yanmen is grim. They dare not treat the tribe's tribe harshly. They can at least have enough food with them. "

"Ah, Lao AI, you're rare. You've gained a lot of weight in the past few months after working as a private soldier for the Lin family."

"Hey, don't mention it. The leader of the Lin family is also a son of a bitch. Although we've had enough food in the past, all his family take us as servants, which is much more indignant than in the army!"

"Well, it's the same with the Nanjia family I went to. I was patrolling in the mansion that day, and I happened to meet the second young master of his family. Unexpectedly, he ordered us to pour night incense for him. His grandmother! If it wasn't for a bite to eat, I would have turned him back! "

"You're satisfied. Look at us who stay in the army. Their guns are rusty, their armor is broken, and they don't have enough to eat. They don't want to work anymore!"

These nearly 40000 people were whispering with each other, and these voices overlapped and were quite noisy to Liu hel'er.

Liu he winked at the herald around him. The herald raised a flag and waved it to the left and right three times. All of a sudden, the 30000 Anmin army around him gave a deafening cry.

"All quiet! Listen to Duwei

This roar scared these people in the middle.

"What's the situation? Why do you shout so loud for no reason? "

"Don't talk. I don't think Liu Duwei's coming. Let's be quiet and listen to what he wants to say."

"Well, let's listen to the three fires of a new official."

In the twinkling of an eye, the field will be all quiet down, the needle can be heard.

Liu he glanced around and took a deep breath.

"Officers and men!"

He once again startled the crowd. They never thought that Liu He, such a young man, could be so energetic and loud and clear that the whole audience could hear him.

"I! Yanmen county new Duwei, surname Liu Minghe, word Xianzhao! I don't want to make any big sense to you, because I know that you are suffering these days

People seem to be a little surprised that Liu He actually talks like this, which is totally different from those officials they have met before, which makes everyone concentrate.

"I, Liu He, and several brothers, started from the countryside, started from the village bravery of one or two hundred people to fight against bandits and pacify one side. We have suffered a lot and seen many battles step by step. It's not me who boasted of my achievements. All the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, the anti thief of Taiping Road, died in our brothers' hands! But I know that the sufferings we have suffered cannot be compared with the sufferings of all the officers and men in this frontier. "

"Since emperor Gaozu, we have been making peace in the world immediately, especially for the Hu people in the north. Since the time of Emperor Wu, we have been attacking everywhere with great achievements. It is because of the bravery of the border army that we can enjoy the prosperity of the Han Dynasty today! First of all, I can say that the elite soldiers belong to the frontier! "

This makes the 30000 or 40000 people in the middle seem to have risen a long lost pride!

Most of these people were former frontier soldiers and soldiers, and they had the dream of making contributions and killing the four sides. However, in the past two years, the military situation was critical, and the burden of reality forced them to put down their good ideas and bow to the reality.

"Now..." Liu He's words changed.

"Yunzhong county was lost and Yanmen North was reduced to Xianbei racecourse. What is this? This is my great man's shame! If Wei Huo Er general is still there, how can he be so savage! Emperor Xiaowu once said that "the sun and the moon shine, and the rivers reach, all of them are Han soil"! However, today, we have lost the Han soil that we have been defending for hundreds of years. Are we not ashamed of the blood shed on our ancestors? "

Some of them are ashamed, but some will not.

"Liu Duwei, I don't like to hear that! Many of our generals and men, such as Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Yanmen, have lost their native land. As we wish, how could the imperial court be fatuous and the generals incompetent? What can we do for ordinary soldiers? ""Yes! If we don't turn to those powerful families, I'm afraid that many people are starving to death and freezing to death, we can't help it! "

After these several people started, it seemed to ignite the mood of the public, and complained one after another.

"Good! Liu is very pleased that you have not lost your heart of serving the country and guarding the land! I, Liu He, hereby promise that as long as you return to the army, continue to serve and fight the enemy bravely, I will not investigate everything in the past, and if you do meritorious service in time, there will be a great reward! "

When we heard this, we immediately looked at each other, and many people were moved.

It's a capital crime to be a deserter and do a private soldier's music for others' families. As usual, Duwei died in battle, and the Taishou was weak, and no one was going to investigate it. Now that the new comer is obviously a ruthless stubble, since he can not be held accountable for their crimes, but also promise that he will do meritorious deeds in the future, this should be the best!

In the army, if you can eat enough, or even make contributions to your family, who is willing to serve as a private soldier for others?

However, it is said that in the past, these people were often deceived by former officials and former Duwei, and they did not fully believe what Liu he said.

"Liu Duwei, I dare to ask. Do you mean it? Even if you mean what you say, but the food and rates are paid by the imperial court. Can you manage this matter

"Yes, if there is no food, fighting with hunger is no different from looking for death?"

"That is to say, Xianbei's cavalry is extremely fierce. We should have suffered a loss and then go on empty stomach. We won't do this! You might as well kill us now

"Yes, beheading is just a knife. If it falls on Hu Lu's hand, life is not like death."

This is also expected by Liu He.

"You can rest assured! What will the court do to us? Liu dare not guarantee this! However, if you can eat three meals a day, and even those who have done meritorious deeds can drink and eat meat, I, Liu He, can clap my chest and promise

It was as if there was a fire on the hay, and the flame leaped high in an instant.

"What? Three meals a day? "

"Do you still have wine and meat? Is it true? "

"It must be a lie! Can there be such a good thing in the world? If so, I will bring all my brothers to join the army. Although it is extremely dangerous, it is better than being poor and starving in my hometown! Starvation is death, and being killed by bandits and mountain bandits is also death. It's better to die after a battle with barbarians

"Is Liu Duwei serious about this

Everyone craned their necks one by one. It seemed that they had never expected so much from a person!

Liu He nodded solemnly: "nature is serious! To tell you the truth, Liu and his brothers are now in charge of five counties, namely langdiao County, Yu County, Yangqu County, chikai county and Fenyang county. Over the past few years, with favorable weather and abundant people, the population of the five counties has reached nearly 200000! "

"That's right. I've heard about langdiao county. It's said that there are 70000 people in this county, and the annual grain tax accounts for nearly one-third of Taiyuan county."

"How could Liu Du Wei have such a big head?"

"If this is the case, the five counties can make up for the part of the food and rates deducted by the imperial court."
