After reciting this tear-jerking ancient poem of the Han Dynasty vividly and vividly, Chen Yingliang said loudly again: "I know that many brothers have never read the book and do not understand the content of this poem. Let me explain carefully to you. This poem is about a A veteran, he served as a soldier and ate food at the age of fifteen, and did not return to his hometown until he was eighty years old. What is the concept of eighty years old, brothers, you can look at Wei Shangshu in front of him. He is only seventy-three years old this year, with hair His beard and eyebrows are all white, but this veteran did not return to his hometown until he was eighty years old, you can imagine how old he looks and how weak his body is.”

"Have you seen it all? You should know the appearance of this veteran, right? Okay, let's continue. On the way back to his hometown, this veteran met a fellow villager and asked who was left in his family. The fellow countryman pointed to the pile of graves in the woods and said that was his home. The veteran went to the door of his house again and saw hares coming in and out of the dog hole, pheasants flying around on the ridge of the roof, and growing in the yard. With wild millet, wild sunflowers surround the well platform."

"The old soldier was hungry. He cooked with wild grains that had been smashed out of their shells, and picked sunflower leaves to make soup. The soup and rice were ready in a while, but he didn't know who to give them to. Then the old soldier walked out of the gate and looked east. Tears poured down on his clothes and wet his clothes..."

"Brothers, you are all flesh-and-blood people with parents, wives and children." Chen Yingliang wiped the tears from his face, choked up and said, "You can imagine that when the old soldier burst into tears, How desolate, how painful, how pitiful is your heart?"

The soldiers of the Sui army at Youwuwei nodded their heads one after another, and some excitable soldiers were already shedding tears, but Chen Yingliang suddenly shouted: "If we lose tomorrow, the miserable situation of this old soldier will be your tomorrow! Your tomorrow!" Tomorrow, it may be as desolate as this veteran, as pitiful! Even more pitiful than him!"

"Don't think I'm alarmist!" Chen Yingliang yelled: "Yes, you can run and escape on the battlefield, and you can even surrender to the rebels! But don't forget, once Guanzhong falls into the hands of the rebels, you right-handed people will be killed!" The soldiers of Wuwei will be the first to bear the brunt. They will definitely be ordered by the emperor to continue fighting, and you will not be allowed to go home and reunite with your family until you regain Daxing in Guanzhong! How much time will it take you, and how much time will your wives and children wait at home? Years? Two years? Three years or five years? Who knows?!"

"If you surrender to the traitors, then I congratulate you, your fate will only be more miserable and pitiful! May I ask when you will be able to return to your hometown after you surrendered to the traitors Yang Tie The living money is in your hands? When can you hug your son, when can you tear a few feet of red cloth for your daughter, and make her a new dress? Your wives and children are suffering in the Central Plains. Frozen and hungry, how do you make them a new dress, how do you make them a full meal?!"

Roaring, Chen Yingliang suddenly pointed at a soldier of the Sui Army, and asked loudly, "Tell me, do you want to be like that veteran who only came home at the age of eighty? Weeping alone, but even one There is no family left? Do you want your wife and children to suffer from cold and hunger, so that they won’t be able to wait for you to come home?”

"I don't want to!" The Sui soldier shook his head and replied.

"Answer louder!" Chen Yingliang yelled again.

"No!" the Sui soldier replied loudly, "I don't want to go home until I'm eighty, and I don't want my wife and son to starve!"

"What about you?" Chen Yingliang pointed to the soldiers of the Sui Army around him, and asked loudly, "Do you want to go home at the age of eighty? Do you want your parents, wives, sons and daughters to suffer from cold and hunger, but you can't wait?" You go home? Tell me loudly, do you want to?"

"I don't want to!" The Sui army officers and soldiers shouted in reply.

"Soldiers, the peace of the Sui Dynasty did not come easily!" Chen Yingliang roared: "In troubled times, a human life is worse than a dog! It is better to be a dog of peace than to be a person in a troubled world! The emperor and the current emperor, after decades of hard work, finally established the current peaceful and prosperous world, allowing you to live in the current peaceful life, so that you can go home and reunite with your parents, wives and children every once in a while. Good times, are you willing to give up? If Yang Xuangan's rebels take down Tongguan and break into Guanzhong, your peaceful days will come to an end!"

"Brothers, soldiers, although the Sui Dynasty is vast, we have no way out for us! Yang Xuangan's rebels have seized the favorable terrain west of Hongnong. If we can't defeat the main force of the rebels in Hongnong , Guanzhong is over, and your days of peace and prosperity are coming to an end! Your family, country and world, without a peaceful Sui Dynasty, would not have your happy and happy days! For your peaceful days, for your parents, wives and children, do you still want to live again? Becoming a deserter? Do you still want to surrender to the traitor again?"

"I don't want to!" Countless Sui soldiers roared angrily.

"Too quiet! Didn't eat?" Chen Yingliang yelled, "Answer again!"

"I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to!" Countless soldiers of the Sui army roared loudly, and many veterans were also emotionally excited for the first time, and their fighting spirit was high.

Amid the emotional roars of the Sui Army soldiers, Chen Yingliang strode back between Wei Xuan and Yang Zhiji, first waved his hand to stop the Sui Army soldiers from shouting, and then said loudly: "If you still think, we are not the main force of the rebels. Opponents, we will lose tomorrow's decisive battle, then you are completely wrong! Yang Xuangan's main force of the rebels has long been weakened by us to the point where we can no longer weaken it!"

"You can do the math yourself. How many main soldiers are left in the Yang Xuangan traitor? In the Luoyang defense battle, we severely damaged the traitor's main force three times and killed more than 8,000 enemies. It wasn't the auxiliary army of Yang Xuangan who killed the traitor. They are all his main forces! In the ambush in Shan County, you personally slaughtered hundreds of thousands of elite rebels! In addition, Yang Xuangan dispatched more than 4,000 elite soldiers in order to seize favorable terrain! In order to contain us in the Sui Dynasty They have left a large number of main teams in Hulao Pass, Luokou Cang and Jinyong City. Do the math yourself, how many main teams can fight and fight are left by the Yang Xuangan rebels? Is it possible that they are still like Mang? As in the battle against the mountains, confront our Zuo Wuwei army of the Sui Dynasty head-on?"

"Of course! The rebels' strength is indeed greater than ours!" Chen Yingliang said loudly again: "There is news from Shan County that Yang Xuangan's current westward team of rebels still has 50,000 people! But, these 50,000 Crowd, what is it in front of you? Do you still remember that less than a month ago, I brought 800 Bao Guojun to fight side by side with you, and beheaded more than 10,000 people in a single battle outside Jinyong City! Yang Xuangan's current five Wan Jun is almost as virtuous as our enemy outside Jinyong City at that time! Tell me, are you afraid of such a traitor, such an enemy?"

"Don't be afraid!" Countless roars sounded from the Sui army, like a landslide and tsunami, extremely loud and clear.

"By the way." Chen Yingliang remembered another important event, and hurriedly added: "I'm sorry, but I forgot to tell you one thing. According to the accounts of the traitors and prisoners we captured, Yang Xuangan's traitors marched west this time and brought him from All the money and jewels looted from Liyang, Weixian, Xingze, Sishui, and Luoyang are worth more than 300 carts for just five baht! After we have defeated the rebellious Yang Rebels, you must pay attention to cleaning them. On the battlefield, according to the rules, half of the captured money will be turned over to the national treasury, and the remaining half will be yours! Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" Sui Army soldiers replied loudly, and the eyes of countless veterans had green light, green light like a hungry wolf.

"There is one more thing!" Chen Yingliang roared: "I don't care about the past and the future, but this time after we defeat the Yang Rebellion, I can guarantee that you will receive all the rewards from the court. Detain a big guy from you! Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" In view of Chen Yingliang's good credit in this regard, the generals of the Sui army replied louder and more neatly.

At this time, Liu Changgong, who had already been excited by Chen Yingliang's speech, stood up, pulled out his knife, and shouted: "Listen to me! I don't care about other times, whoever dares to drink soldiers' blood will deduct rewards this time!" , I chopped him off with my own hands! If I deduct a reward from you, please Wei Liushou and His Royal Highness Cai Wang chopped me off! Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" General Liu had a rare erection, and the generals and soldiers under his command naturally wanted to give him some face, and the voice of the orderly reply immediately resounded through the sky.

"This guy is finally competent once." Chen Yingliang secretly praised in his heart, first thanked Liu Changgong, and then shouted: "General Liu has spoken for your reward, why don't you thank him? Shout out to me Come out, thank you General Liu!"

"Thank you, General Liu!" The soldiers of the Sui Army shouted in unison, and countless soldiers bowed to Liu Changgong, while General Liu was floating like a fairy in the clouds, and he was truly exhilarated once in a very rare way.

"Soldiers, I also announce an order." Yang Zhiji also stood up and said loudly: "In tomorrow's decisive battle, no matter who is killed, the reward will be the same! If you kill a traitor, cut off his nose Come down, bring it back and exchange it with me, one nose for consistent money, cash it on the spot!"

"Thank you, Your Highness King Cai!" The soldiers of the Sui army cheered loudly.

"Speaking of money." Reminded by Yang Zhiji, Chen Yingliang thought of something again, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness Cai, please ask someone to bring a hundred copper coins and a table right away, I will be useful."

"It's easy to say, it's a trivial matter." Yang Zhiji nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered someone to fetch the copper coins, and then asked curiously: "Chen Jishi, what do you want a hundred copper coins for?"

"Brothers like to gamble, and I want to gamble today." Chen Yingliang said loudly: "Brothers, I know that you usually like to gamble when you have nothing to do. I will also gamble today. Bring a hundred copper coins, and I will sprinkle a hundred copper coins on the table. If there are more copper coins on the side where the words are cast, then we will win tomorrow! If there are fewer coins facing up, then we will win tomorrow. Destined to be defeated! That's true, I won't let you die in vain, and tomorrow's decisive battle will not be fought! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The Sui army officers and soldiers replied loudly, but Wei Xuan and Liu Changgong, who had already heard their blood boiling, were dumbfounded all of a sudden. Isn't the easy-to-raise morale all gone

After a while, a hundred copper coins were fetched, and a square table was placed in front of Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang shook the copper coins and shouted: "God is above, God bless, please bless my Sui army to win tomorrow!"

Roaring, Chen Yingliang spilled a hundred copper coins on the table in public, then turned around and shouted: "Guo Feng, Chen Zhihong, come up and count them for me! How many copper coins are face up?"

"Promise!" Chen Yingliang's two oldest lackeys, Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong, agreed loudly, and then rushed to the table together. , Chen Zhihong yelled in disbelief, "Chen Jishi, all face up! One hundred copper coins, all face up!"

"What? It's all face up?!"

The scream was like a landslide and tsunami, and it resounded through the audience. Not only did Chen Yingliang turn around immediately, but Wei Xuan, Yang Zhiji, and Liu Changgong also rushed to the table. After a closer look, Wei Xuan burst into tears He cried loudly and shouted: "The emperor's blessings are blessed, all face up! We will win! Tai Sui will win!"

"Da Sui will win!" Chen Yingliang was also dancing happily, and shouted: "Guo Feng, Chen Zhihong, lift the table down, let the brothers take a closer look, it's all face up!"

The table carrying one hundred coins was brought to the front of the Sui army officers and soldiers. The Sui army officers and soldiers rushed to stretch their necks, and when they saw that the hundred copper coins on the table were all face up, the Sui army officers and soldiers All of them immediately exclaimed, "It's all face up! It's really all face up!"

"Da Sui will win! We will win!" Chen Yingliang raised his arms and shouted.

"The Sui will win! We will win!" Countless Sui soldiers roared hysterically.

"Da Sui! We must win!" Wei Xuan stubbornly knelt on his knees, hissed to the sky with tears streaming down his face, and was so excited that he almost had a heart attack on the spot - of course, after knowing the truth afterwards, Wei Xuan almost strangled Chen Yingliang on the spot die…
