Mrs. Xiangyun stopped crying and fell into deep thought. Liu Yu's impassioned voice echoed in the small square around the big tree: "At that time, the demon thieves first emerged and massacred the children of the Wudi family, so the place occupied by the group of demon thieves The place is a mixed bag, and where a large army conquers, it is inevitable that there will be excessive actions. However, because of the behavior of some people, if you say that the entire Beifu Army is a cruel army that is unable to kill thieves and will only harm the people, then I will definitely not agree. In the final analysis, your suffering is caused by the demon thieves causing trouble, and cannot be attributed to the Beifu Army."
Sister-in-law Xiangyun gritted her teeth: "But those who killed my husband, kidnapped my son, and sold me as a prostitute were not monsters and thieves, but..."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "This is the reason why there was a mixture of fish and dragons at that time, and the people who led the army took the opportunity to retaliate. When Sun En was in rebellion, he killed many people, but he kept you because you surrendered to him at that time, and the official When the army came back, because you had surrendered to the demon thieves, you slaughtered and looted like this regardless of the crime. Although this was only the behavior of a few people, it was not tolerated by military law. If such people were in the army of Liu Yu and Liu Zhenjun, Liu Zhenjun would I had killed him a long time ago. I also fought against the rebellion in the Beifu Army at that time. I can tell you responsibly that I did not receive such an order to massacre the people and plunder women and children. The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were to protect the country and the people. And exist, not to harm the people! If the Beifu army doesn't come, will you be able to live well under the rule of the demon thieves? "
"The demon thieves forced the people to eat the flesh of the killed officials and soldiers, and also forced the women to perform the ritual of sexual intercourse with them. The men were also recruited as thieves, and the children were imprisoned for slowing down the march. Throwing them into the water, and saying that they will ascend to immortality as soon as possible. These are what we saw with our own eyes along the way. If the officers and soldiers don’t come, I’m afraid your family will also encounter this kind of tragedy soon. If you don’t believe me, you can Ask people from all over Jiangbei, many of them once followed the demon bandit army and were later pardoned. Ask them if they have experienced these things?!"
Shen Mufeng sighed: "No need to ask, there are more than a dozen families like this in Li Village next door, and everyone has experienced what Brother Liu just said. Sister Xiangyun, even if you stayed in the city at that time, how many days later would you If the Sky Demon Thief sets off, your fate will not be better than it is now."
Sister-in-law Xiangyun sighed: "Oh, these damn things are being beaten here and there, but they are causing suffering to us, the common people!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Now that the demon thieves have been pacified by us and have been beaten away, they will not come to harm you again. However, this land in Jiangbei will be your future hometown. There will be no demon thieves to harm you in the future. However, Hulu may go south, this is not a rumor."
There was a commotion in the crowd, and many people exclaimed: "What, Hulu will come, is it true?"
Chen Mufeng also opened his eyes wide: "Da, Guard Liu, you, you are right, Hulu, Hulu, can Hulu really come, can he really hit here?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "If we are not united within ourselves and do not trust the court and the soldiers, then the barbarians may march straight in and fight to the edge of the Yangtze River. This country, this world, does not belong to those emperors and generals. , and also a share for all of us ordinary people. You have immigrated here, leaving your hometown where you have lived for generations. You have been assigned land here, and you have also received the tax exemption and exemption policy from the court, just so that you can live and work here in peace and contentment and live a good life. , and the people who guarantee your life are the soldiers stationed in Jiangbei. If you only think that these soldiers will only flee for their lives and hide in the big cities when encountering foreign enemies, abandon you, or take advantage of the war to rob and harm you, then If the army and the people are separated, how can we win the war?"
Xiangyun's wife gritted her teeth and shouted, "What can we common people do to help the army? Except for a dozen young people here, none of us can fight a war."
Liu Yu said loudly: "Intelligence, logistics, these are the support of the people, the power of the people. You may not be able to fight, but the strong men can move with the army, and the women and children can retreat to the south of the Yangtze River or to the big cities, leaving no food for the barbarians." , supplies, if the Hulu forces begin to gain momentum, our Jiangbei garrison may temporarily retreat to a few major cities due to military needs, but they will never abandon you. Liu Zhenjun has issued military orders before. If he sees the people, he will not save them. The enemy will flee, and military law will be engaged! The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty will never abandon their own people, and I hope you can support them! Protect your home and country."
There was a burst of excited voices from the crowd: "Defend the home and the country, protect the home and the country!"
Liu Yu looked at Sister-in-law Xiangyun: "Sister-in-law Xiangyun, I know it's hard for you to agree with these words for a while. The previous war caused too much damage to you, but brother Shen Mufeng and I can guarantee that if there is another mess, When the captives invade, we, the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, will do our best to protect you and never let the previous tragedies happen again. I also hope that everyone can obey Brother Shen’s arrangements and act according to the instructions. As long as the army and the people are united and the three armies are dedicated, even if Nanyan We can definitely defeat the Murong clan!"
Mrs. Xiangyun gritted her teeth: "The Liu Zhenjun you mentioned did save us. I believe him. But if he really knows how to protect us, why doesn't he come to Jiangbei?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Because Liu Zhenjun now wants to protect the safety of the capital. Huanxuan made a rebellion, and he just raised troops to eliminate it. And his camp is located at Jingkou, across the river from Guangling, just to protect him if there is any danger. If the Hulu invade, he can send troops to help at any time. Of course, it may take some time. The Hulu cavalry can run fast and may bypass the cities of Pengcheng and San'a and attack the Guangling area. Therefore, everyone needs to protect it first. You must obey the orders of the imperial court, because the order at this time must be issued by Liu Zhenjun."
A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd, and even Mrs. Xiangyun excitedly held her head: "Fat Doctor, I believe you and Guard Liu will cooperate fully according to the court's arrangements."
Liu Muzhi nodded with satisfaction and stood up: "As for the rumors you have heard recently, they are 30% true and 70% false. I'm afraid the person who told you these things is also a spy sent by Hu Lu. To spread panic here in Jiangbei, everyone only needs to understand one thing, that is, no matter what time, the court and Liu Zhenjun will never leave you alone, and will definitely protect you. As long as the army and the people work together, the barbarians will not be a problem. You guys Whatever you said to me today, I will respond to the high officials in the DPRK, and Liu Zhenjun can also hear your thoughts!"
