Chapter 125
On the school ground, all the 60,000 troops stationed in Liucheng were gathered here without exception. They should have expected the situation they would face after being assembled, so they all lowered their heads and said dullly.
On the one hand, you are the general you admire, and on the other hand, the family, country and the world. This is a very difficult choice, right? No matter which side you choose, you will be uneasy. If you prefer the general and raise troops to fight against the Sui Dynasty, you will be charged with the thief for life. If you prefer the court, but the general is really nice to them. If you lack money, give clothes, and give food, what else do you want? The general is heartless about you, and you will watch him die unjustly? Who brought you out of dire straits? Who gave you clothes to wear? Who gave you food? Who gave you a house to live in? He is a general!
"I believe everyone has already known about General Yuwen. The court is incompetent and unrighteous, and does not know the merits and demerits. I think my senior brother worked hard for his family and country and devoted himself to his work. Why did he, Yang Jian, kill our general? Just for the stability of the Yang family, kill my senior brother to calm the anger of the small countries around me? Xue Rengui was the first to dissatisfied. Everyone think carefully about who gave you a happy life now, so that you can wear clothes, have food and food, think about who gave you what you have now, and think about what you have three years ago and you have to face, why would you face such a situation? I won't say more and make your choice."
Xue Rengui walked up to the high platform in anger, carried the Fangtian Painted Ridge in his hand, wore the silver-white sky-swallowing armor, and shouted with his arms.
"I have a house to live in, wear clothes, and have endless food to eat, and even have a small amount of money. There is no need to worry about the thief army from the foreign tribe who suddenly attacked and burned, killed and looted, and could live a peaceful life... Who gave it to General Yuwen? Of course, what was it like three years ago? Three years ago? I don't cover my body, don't eat enough, I don't have anything to raise, and I don't have anything to raise in my old age. The whole world seems to be hovering in the world of sin, with sorrow everywhere, and often the hard work of a year is not harvested, even if the heaven is fond of heaven.
Gu has been here for a year of harvest season, and the foreigners who were killed will be robbed of nothing, or even killed if they are not successful. I can't think about it! But why didn't the court come to help us? The taxes that should be collected are not ruthless, but why didn't the troops send us to help us resist foreigners? Why didn't we give us even a little help when we were not harvested? Why didn't the court send people to suppress corrupt officials when corrupt officials do their best to exploit us? Does the court ignore our lives?"
The soldiers seemed to have been brought up to something unbearable to look back on, and recalled the days before that seemed to be thrown into endless darkness, despair, chaos, and no sun.
"I am not a citizen of the Great Sui Dynasty, I am just a citizen of Liaoning County. I don't care about my life or death at all, but Liaoning County cares. The Great Sui Dynasty abandoned me and it was Liaoning County who saved me, so my choice is very clear." After a brief recollection, a soldier became more and more determined in his heart. He didn't know too much, nor did he need to understand. He just needed to know that when he was on the verge of the enemy's butcher knife, he was about to die, and in despair, Yuwen Cheng blocked the knife and gave him some food. He only needed to know that the first full meal in his life was to eat with Yuwen Cheng.
"General Xue, I figured it out. You can order it. General Yuwen saved my life. I can't watch him die unjustly."
"Yes, when we go to rescue General Yuwen, the court doesn't care about our lives or death at all. They don't have our Liaoning County in their eyes."
"Yes, although I am not from Liaoning County, General Yuwen's kindness to me is like a recreation. Without him, there would be no me who I am today."
There is no need to question the loyalty of these 60,000 people. They have been through countless deaths with Yuwen Cheng over the past three years, and their loyalty has been engraved into the bone marrow, both of which are recruited from Luoyang four years ago or from Liaoning County.
As for Yue Fei's eight thousand-backed cubs, he is absolutely loyal to Yue Fei. Even if he lets them commit suicide, no one will hesitate.
However, the seven thousand white-robed soldiers left by Chen Qingzhi were a little difficult to deal with. They did not express their opinions. The white-robed soldiers without Chen Qingzhi were just like losing their souls and walking corpses.
"General Chen Qingzhi was disheartened. Where did your white-robed army go? Should we continue to follow Junior Brother Chen or follow us to avenge General Yuwen?"
Xue Rengui looked at the highest deputy general in the white-robed army except Chen Qing and asked.
"Sorry, General Xue, our general did not give the order, so we cannot make our own decisions."
The deputy general thought solemnly and shook his head.
"Okay, since..."
"Chi'er...Chi'er...isn't you awakened?"
Xue Rengui nodded, and did not make things difficult for the White Rou Army. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by an old voice.
"Master? Why are you here?"
Xue Rengui frowned, and was about to get angry but saw an old Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe with a young hair and a young face. Although he was so old that his hair and beard were gray, he looked energetic. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a little hopeful. Without too much consideration, he respectfully knelt down in the direction the old man was walking towards.
"The crazy one... is not awakened yet? War is the most important weapon of the country. How can you move lightly? You are ashamed of your teachings as a teacher."
Although the old man was old, his steps were vigorous and he soon came over and gently tapped Xue Rengui's head with the whisk in his hand.
"Rengui knows his mistake, but Master can have a way to rescue his senior brother?"
Xue Rengui naturally did not dare to contradict the old Taoist priest, kowtowed heavily, and admitted his mistakes humbly.
"I don't have a teacher."
A trace of helplessness flashed in the old Taoist eyes, and he sighed in his heart, but his face was silent, and he just shook his head and said.
As expected, Xue Rengui breathed a deep breath, lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old Taoist priest because of his next words...
"Since that's the case, please don't stop Rengui. Rengui will never want to do such unfilial acts that disobey his master."
"Hey, Rengui, only you and Cheng are closest to you, and have the most similar personalities, but your personality will only make you suffer in the end. Why not think about yourself more?"
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest sighed and helped him up from the ground, with a kind look and a earnest voice.
"The teacher came here this time to help Chengdu get rid of this disaster. Things have not yet reached an unstoppable situation. Even if it is such a desperate situation of death without life, everything has a glimmer of hope. Be kind and noble, don't be reckless. Listen to your teacher's words, put down your military and make plans for the long term."
The old Taoist priest gently stroked Xue Rengui's head and said.
