"Whoosh——"
With the sound of a bowstring, Tayana finally ended his pain.
"Assemble the army and prepare for war!"
Yu Dan gritted his teeth and shouted four words.
"promise!"
The several captains of ten thousand men around Yu Dan all had ferocious faces.
These Han people are so arrogant. When did these stubborn Huns suffer from such anger?
"Woo-wu-wu-"
As a dull horn horn sounded, countless Huns lined up in neat ranks and began to march towards the Han army's camp.
The sound of huge horse hoofbeats shook the surrounding areas, but there was silence in the Han army's camp.
"Don't worry, the Huns naturally have officers and soldiers to resist them. Our task is to build the city wall!"
Hearing the rumble of war drums, the working men stopped their work one after another.
Wang Ziyun quickly climbed up to a high platform and greeted loudly.
We must stabilize people's hearts at this time, otherwise, if something goes wrong here, it will be a big problem!
After all, the Shenwu Army only has 20,000 people so far. If they were to flee here, God knows what unimaginable consequences would be caused.
"Sir, we captured three civilians who wanted to flee..."
Sure enough, he was afraid of what would happen. Before Wang Ziyun finished speaking, several soldiers from the periphery came over, pressing down on the three civilians.
"The war has not yet begun, but you are actually planning to flee? Are you worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who are fighting?"
Wang Zhiyun's face was extremely ugly, but he also understood that if he could not stabilize the morale of the army at this time, an even greater rout might be around the corner!
"Sir, I still have a wife and children at home. I can't die! I don't want to die!"
One of the civilian husbands immediately burst into tears and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Wang Ziyun.
Wang Ziyun gritted his teeth and was about to announce that he would be dragged out and beheaded when he suddenly saw Liu Deng coming over.
"Your Majesty!"
"Okay, leave this to me!"
Liu Deng reached out and patted Wang Ziyun on the shoulder, then stepped onto the high platform.
"I know everyone is worried. You are all worried about whether the Huns will attack. Once the Huns attack, we will become a pile of withered bones before the city is built! Is that what you think?"
"Your Majesty, we, we don't want to die!"
The remaining two civilian husbands were also crying with tears. It seemed that there was only fear in their hearts...
"Get up! I don't blame you!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath, then stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help the three of them up. At the same time, he personally helped them untie the ropes tied to their bodies.
"Big, big king..."
At this time, the three of them were trembling with fear, fearing that Liu Deng would directly chop them off the sacrificial flags with an order.
"I know that you are all afraid, so I am not afraid to tell you. In fact, I am also very afraid..."
Liu Deng smiled bitterly, then reached out and patted Wang Ziyun who was standing next to him.
"But fear can't solve the problem! Does any of you know how much our country's military expenditures are in a year?"
Liu Deng suddenly changed the topic and asked.
There was a sudden silence under the high platform. When would they, ordinary people like them, know about such a major military matter?
"I tell you that the total military expenditures of our country require six million dollars every year! And this is without a war..."
The civilian husbands below all looked even more confused. Even Wang Ziyun looked confused. He didn't know what Liu Deng was going to say.
"You must know that these copper coins were originally taxes paid by you. These copper coins were originally supposed to be used to improve people's livelihood, but now, everything is wasted. Why? It's because of these bastard Huns outside! "
When Liu Deng said this, his voice suddenly became excited.
"Many of you should be from Yanmen and Yunzhong, right? You should know what these bastard Huns have done over the years, right? Why do they dare to be so blatant? Isn't it just because of us? Isn’t Dai State bordering the Huns? Isn’t it because they have no one to rule behind?”
Most of these peasants are honest farmers. Their faces facing the loess and back to the sky is almost the portrayal of them all their lives. Where have they heard any speeches?
Now at this time, I was completely stunned by Liu Deng's live show!
"Maybe you want to ask me, why am I telling you this? Maybe you want to ask, why didn't we travel thousands of miles to this barren land to build a city here?"
"Now I tell you, if we build this city here, we only need to leave 10,000 people here. If these bastard Huns dare to invade our country again, these 10,000 tigers and wolves will be able to Directly cut off their food routes and cut off their return route. If my imperial army arrives, this will be their tomb!"
Liu Deng's voice became more and more passionate, and Wang Ziyun was surprised to find that the fear on the faces of the people seemed to be slowly fading away.
"Build this city! Within ten years, if the Huns want to invade our country again, they must be prepared to die on the Great Wall! In ten years, if I cannot train a hundred thousand cavalry to sweep across the Huns, this It’s okay if your Majesty doesn’t do it!”
"Today, the Xiongnu army is outside. If this battle fails, I will not be successful. But I can tell you that as long as I am still alive, as long as I have led the Shenwu Army and there is still one soldier, not a single Huns can Give me a thumbs up!"
"The king is victorious!"
Wang Ziyun shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.
"The great king is victorious! The great man is victorious!"
"The great king is victorious! The great man is victorious!"
"The great king is victorious! The great man is victorious!"
The voices of tens of thousands of people were mixed together, and even the clouds in the sky were stirred up and flew away.
"Dong——dong——"
At this moment, a burst of war drums suddenly came from the front. It seemed that the Huns were preparing to attack!
"You are all the best people of our country! After the city is built, I will order someone to build a stone tablet in the city. All those who participated in the city building can leave their names here for future generations. Everyone pays homage and remembers it! Now, I am going to the front to command the battle, and I leave it to you all! I, Liu Deng, am here to represent the hundreds of millions of people of my country, and I leave it to you!"
"Brothers! The soldiers in front have begun to fight hard. They are buying time for us with their lives. I, Wang Ziyun, swear here that if we cannot build this city, let my body stay here and become a city brick!"
"Work--"
As a long trumpet sounded, countless peasants picked up their tools with red eyes, followed closely behind Wang Ziyun, and began their intense work again...
Not far from them, tens of thousands of Huns were ready to attack!
