Chapter 373 It's better to sneer than to fan the flames!
"You are afraid, and I am as scared as you are... I have a wife in Jiangnan 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... The meaning of living is that in addition to living, you should also be able to guard your home and family... Now, the golden soldiers are likely to fall here. I'm not sure, but now there is no power to defend here... I believe that many people are ready to escape..."
"However, has anyone ever thought that many people have fled from here, but those people really live well? I have seen many people who have wandered from Yanyun along the way and even in the south of the Yangtze River. They have left home and still live a hard life even more than your current life..."
"Now, there are not many people in Youzhou City, but I believe that there will not be many people in Jin Bing. If you want, mention two jars of wine every day to come with me... Guard the Carp Gorge, I'll buy you a drink..."
"If you can keep it, I will come here to do business in the future. If you settle down here, your children will study and be able to study in the future. You can do some small business in the city, even if you can sell cooking cakes... As long as Youzhou can be defended and 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 continue to live like this, children and grandchildren... Would you like to?"
Song Yi's voice is very loud, but in fact, there is not much inflammatory in his words. He just objectively explained the situation in a cold tone. He knew that it was useless for him to talk too much.
What Song Yi wants to say is to make them understand what will happen if they keep Youzhou, and what if they can't...
Zhou Bangyan beside him was a little anxious. He felt that Song Yi's attitude was not warm-blooded and generous enough!
"Why do we believe you? That's a war... I'm going to die..." A rough man in the crowd grin said that if he was not reluctant to give up two jars of wine, he would not come. He also thought that what Song Yi said was bullshit.
Song Yi looked at him with a sneer and replied loudly, "It's good that people will die in a war. Won't the soldiers of the State of Zhao die if they are all the bodies of King Kong?" Do they like wars? Even if they get their salaries, they are still doing things to protect the country and the people, right? Of course you can if you don't believe me, but my words are not difficult to understand... If you want to be poor, you will be poor for a lifetime! After death, let your dead grandson continue to be poor and continue to spit on your ancestors who are unable to keep a happy land to live in peace? If you don't want to be poor, follow me to guard the Carp Gorge... I have no right to order you, because I am not a general, and no one here is my soldier! You don't have to fight for anything else... If it must be for something, it must be for yourselves!"
The black-faced man was stabbed by Song Yi's words and his face turned red and black. He hid in the depths of the crowd, and the crowd fell into a short silence.
Song Yi's words are indeed very harsh, even not like asking these people to go to the battlefield at all, but he is excited, but his words are so clear that everyone can understand...
Not to fight for any purpose, but to be in poverty! For future generations...
A drunk who didn't seem to wake up broke out and staggered behind Song Yi and picked up two jars of wine. He opened the seal and began to drink, muttering, "I don't care... Anyway, the days are... Not doing well... After drinking these two jars of wine, even if I die... It's not cowardly... Hey hey hey..."
Song Yi looked back with tears and laughter, hinting that Wu Jian would stop the man from drinking all the wine in one breath...
"But we can't fight. The golden soldiers are so powerful that even the mighty army can't deal with them. How can we do it?" A middle-aged woman said with a worried face.
Suddenly, there were many echoes in the crowd.
Song Yi looked at the woman and smiled, and then said calmly, "The ancestors of the Jin people were also hunters who hunted everywhere. They had no choice but to pick up the bow and arrow knives, but they were in the wrong direction. They began to rob and abuse the people of Zhao... And now, the people of the sixteen states of Yanyun in the State of Zhao have also suffered unspeakably. Can you only be driven away by others, and even have the courage to resist and guard your own home? Without home, what's the difference between living and dying?
"It's better to live than to die..." Someone muttered.
A burst of laughter broke out in the crowd!
"If you like to live, you have to be able to live. You probably don't understand the importance of the loss of Youzhou, but you all know that the golden people are powerful. They may not kill them all when they break the city, but do you think the golden people will not kill people? No one among you knows who will be the one who will die, right? Or... When the Golden Man comes, I'm afraid it's possible that all the people present will die, right? Song Yi said.
"You're scaring us!" An old man said with a crutch that one of his daughters was robbed by the Golden Man the year before last... But he is still afraid that the golden man will die. For people of his age, living has become the last greed...
"I said that I have a home in Jiangnan, and there are several beautiful women. One of them is pregnant with my child and is about to give birth... As you can see, I can afford so much wine. Naturally, my family is rich... I'm better than you than being afraid, but I have a group of brothers who died here, so I'm coming to get those lives back... In your opinion, am I trying to scare you?"
"If you live, you will have all kinds of choices. If you don't choose well, you will be poor for a lifetime... Good choice, even if you are still poor, but others will not forget the big things you have made, and you will be proud!"
"Anyway... I'm going to Liyu Gorge tonight! No matter how many people follow me, even if no one follows me, there are only a few people, and I will keep... If no one goes, I'll hire you to help me carry these wine. I'm alone, even if I'm drunk in the Carp Gorge... It's much better than coward!"
Song Yi said in a beadly manner, and his tone was more ironic than encouraging.
Zhou Bangyan was very anxious, but he was helpless. At this point, even if he wants him to change his words, these people will definitely not believe it...
It's just that the crowd is very quiet.
People want a face, and a tree needs a bark. What Song Yi said is useless to scold people. These people are really uncomfortable at all, but many of them still want that face after all, so they begin to think...
After a long time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old skinny boy came out of the crowd. The sackcloth he was wearing seemed to be cut from a sack.
Passing past Song Yi, he looked up 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!"
"Good job. When you come back, I'll buy you to drink and eat meat. If you go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, I will take you to the best brothel!" Song Yi said with a smile.
The thin teenager smiled and walked past Song Yi and stood on Wu Jian's side.
Most of the people in the crowd recognized that this teenager was Ge Nie, the son of a veteran who died in the war in Youzhou, and now he is also an orphan! The child was a good child in everyone's eyes. At this time, he actually went to Song Yi's side. The kind-hearted old man wanted to stop him, but he stopped...
Next, several people who were close to Ge Nie also stood up...
"I'm afraid of death! Can I just help you carry the wine and then come back? A woman stood in front of Song Yi and asked timidly.
"Yes..." Song Yi nodded.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then stood on the edge of several people behind Song Yi with a happy smile...
Someone laughed at the greedy and ignorant woman named Aunt Cuihua through Song Yi and was careful to die...
In such a mockery, the people who were a little wavering suddenly dared not come over.
Just as Song Yi frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly daze!
An old man with crutches walked out of the crowd... It was the old man who questioned Song Yi before. Many people present knew that this old man was one of the most afraid of death in Youzhou City. When his daughter was robbed, he hid under the bed and dared not come out...
The old man walked to Song Yi, looked up at Song Yi with difficulty, and then walked behind Song Yi...
"Is the old man Dongguo stupid?"
"Hey! Coward Dongguo... Are you confused? Go there to send him to die?"
"..."
Too many sarcasm in the crowd made Song Yi feel harsh, but he also frowned a little.
Just because of the action of the old man Dongguo, the crowd became a little quiet, and many people began to be ready to move...
Aunt Cuihua, standing not far from Wu Jian, looked at the old man Dongguo standing beside her in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Old man Dongguo, are you going to die?"
"Hey hey... I thought about it. Although it's good to be alive, I miss my daughter a little..." The old man, who has always been ridiculed as a coward, said calmly.
Aunt Cuihua is slightly dull.
Even Wu Jian couldn't help but be slightly moved when he heard these calm and old words.
After all, there is no one in the world who is desperate...
Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the crowd. A woman pulled a man out, but the man slapped the woman in the face and scolded a few words, and resolutely pushed the crowd away and walked to Song Yi.
"Geng Dabiao! It was really unpleasant to hear what you said just now, but I understand that I want to be a person who understands life. You're right. This is my home, and I won't go anywhere... I'll go to guard the Carp Gorge with you!" The big man was strong and spoke rudely. It was Geng Dabiao, the butcher in the city. He was usually temperamental and very popular, but this time he was not pulled by his pretty woman and slapped the woman...
After Geng Dabiao finished speaking, he stood behind Song Yi. At this time, the woman who was slapped by him also rushed out of the crowd and cried, "The master... I'll go with you too..."
Song Yi saw that the little woman who covered her face and crying was indeed a little beautiful, especially the round buttocks when running, which was quite amorous.
Just because a timid old man and a serious butcher suddenly changed their character, there was a big wave in the crowd. For a moment, there was an uproar. A large group of wine and meat brothers who wanted to be good with the Geng butcher walked out of the crowd in an instant and walked towards Geng Dabiao, saying, "Brother Da Biao... Wait a few brothers..."
Hot blood, never agitated by outsiders, just because of the right and wrong in the heart!
Song Yi smiled slightly. Now it seems that he can still believe in the goodness of human nature...
