Emotions are always contagious.
After a while, many people poked their heads out. Some people were a little afraid at first, and some were undecided, but when they saw that others had joined Xu Lang's team one after another, and they all shouted the slogan "Open the door to welcome the King of England" in unison, they couldn't help but feel sad. Just for a moment, just join in the fun.
An hour later, Xu Lang finally led this vast team of soldiers and civilians to the riverside.
"I have heard that the eldest prince is wise and brave, and is a hero of his generation, so I can't bear to meet him at war. Although I have settled in the north of the Yangtze River, I still hope that knowledgeable people can go to the south of the Yangtze River to meet the eldest prince, and express the hope of the King of England to fight with him. I will support the grand ceremony and agree to punish the traitorous king. In this way, my heart will be at peace, and Changsha will be at peace as well!"
Xu Lang looked at the crowd behind him with a smile, and his words seemed extremely sincere. After saying that, he even cupped his hands, looking like he was thirsty for talents.
For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, feeling helpless.
The eldest prince has a high position and is actually the king of Changsha. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to meet him?
Xu Lang is also very patient and always smiles on his face.
In the current situation, as long as he returns to cooperate with Wei Dayong, half of Changsha County will basically change hands. And the people's support can be used. If we strike while the iron is hot and attack across the river while the eldest prince and Ling Yue are fighting each other, can the eldest prince still be able to hold on?
The result was hardly surprising.
He said and did this just to give the eldest prince another chance and to give Changsha's army and people a chance. Although he had received help from the common people in the previous fighting, the actual casualties of his own troops were not expected to be small. Because of this, he hoped that someone could lower his head and recognize the situation clearly when the eldest prince didn't have much choice, so that no more innocent people would lose their lives.
"If there is someone who can take on this responsibility, I will make him a general under my command. If he dies unfortunately, I will tell the King of Ying that his son will succeed him. I, the general, can make an oath to heaven here. If you violate these words, you will be struck by five thunders!"
Xu Lang's face condensed and he added another sentence seriously.
In the crowd, someone finally squeezed out. The man had thick eyebrows and a red complexion. The blood on his armor was still wet.
"General, I'm willing to go!"
I saw him pushing away the crowd and standing proudly a few feet away from Xu Lang.
"General, it's him who killed more than a dozen of our brothers!"
At this time, a sergeant pointed his gun at the man, with a particularly angry look on his face, but because Xu Lang was in front, he did not dare to make any mistakes.
"Huh? Let's hear it!"
When Xu Lang heard this, he became interested and took another deep look at the man.
It seems that this person is interesting!
The sergeant then put away his gun, raised his hand to Xu Lang, and glared at the man again.
Then, after a short narration, Xu Lang figured out the reason.
It turned out that this man was a fierce general in Jiangbei Army. In the previous street fight, he single-handedly killed more than a dozen of Xu Lang's sergeants. After his superiors shouted to stop, he stopped and surrendered.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Xu Lang was quite helpless. After speaking, he walked to the sergeant, held his shoulder, and said nothing for a long time.
There is no way to fight without killing people. This is a simple truth. But seeing the enemy in front of him, but unable to take action, of course he was very unwilling. The reason why they can't take action is actually because there are rules in the army. The King of England has long said that prisoners are not allowed to be killed or surrendered at will. Violators will be punished with death.
Xu Lang understands the truth of this, but a grassroots soldier may not understand it. Therefore, silence is better than sound. Xu Lang's silence actually expresses a resolute attitude.
