"You're not convinced, aren't you?" Wang Xun lowered his head, glanced at him, and then glanced at the audience, "Wang knows that you are not convinced. Wang will let you see today what kind of man is a real man.
.Captain Sha, Commander Huang, you two come here!"
"No!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan, who had been watching Wang Xun from the side, strode forward and stood side by side in front of the trainees.
"Do you know who they are?" Wang Xun pointed to his two confidants and introduced them to the trainees, "Do you know that in the past two years, they have been roaming along the Yaosha River and scared the princes to sleepless nights?
What did Sha and Xuedawang bring? Captain Sha and Captain Huang, tell them yourself!"
"Brother Sha Qianli, back then, back then..." Sha Qianli was a little embarrassed, but also a little proud. He cupped his hands in front of everyone and said loudly and frankly, "Back then, I was also an abandoned son abandoned by Gao Xianzhi. He crawled from the dead.
After he came out, he became a horse thief! People on the road called him a handful of sand. Fortunately, he didn't embarrass the Anxi Army."
"Brother Huang Wanshan, known as Xuedawang by people on the road, he was with everyone back then. Maybe there is an old friend of mine among you!" Huang Wanshan also bowed his hand and introduced himself to his family.
"You, you are, Sha, Sha..., you are really..." The trainees did not expect that the two captains who had been accompanying everyone around for more than half a month, actually
He was also one of the people left behind by Gao Xianzhi back then, and he didn't expect that the other party would be a handful of sand and the boss of Xue Dawang, who made the wealthy people along Yaochashui talk about it. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Huang, Brother Huang. You are really Brother Huang!" Among the trainees, some of them had long looked familiar to Huang Wanshan, but they never had the courage to recognize him. Now after hearing his self-introduction, they came up to him with choked eyes.
"You, you are Brother Niu, you are Xiao Qi, you, you are all still alive!" Huang Wanshan heard the familiar cry, and after a long time of recognition, he vaguely saw something like an old friend between the other person's brows, and unconsciously felt in his heart
Da Pain said, "You guys, why didn't you say hello to me earlier?"
"We, we, we don't dare!" Several men who had been with Huang Wanshan howled loudly. Same people, different lives. They have been slaves for nearly three years, and they are facing the people who decide their own destiny.
, instinctively kept him at a distance. Of course he didn't dare to raise his head and take a closer look at the now superior Huang Duwei. He was the same Huang Roe Deer who used to compete for meat in the same pot with everyone. And Huang Wanshan has been busy these days to revive everyone's morale.
I was so overwhelmed that I had no time to carefully identify each person among the trainees.
Even if he tried to identify it carefully, he still couldn't recognize it. After all, everyone had suffered so much and was tortured until they were twenty years old. How could it be possible for someone like him to still maintain the same face as before?
Seeing those indifferent guys burst into tears one by one, Yu Wenzhi had an idea and quietly made a gesture, ordering Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan's old subordinates to come forward and recognize the trainees. Most of these people were also from Talas in those days.
The lonely wild ghosts who survived the battle were all thanks to the hard work of Sha and Huang back then, and they condensed into two groups of horse thieves that everyone talked about. At this moment, seeing the old robes shed tears, how can they still bear it?
.Immediately use it, call for friends, and look for former colleagues in the team.
In an instant, the school grounds became filled with cries. The former students were calling each other’s names and talking about each other’s experiences in the past three years, and they were all in tears. No matter how hard-hearted they were, they could not help but cry. The famous man also quietly turned his face away and kept rubbing his eyes. While rubbing his eyes, he also twitched his nose and explained to the person next to him: "Hey, the wind is strong, the wind is strong, and the sand got under the eyes. Hey, The wind is really strong in this damn place..."
"Well, the wind is strong, the wind is strong, this damn place will blow up sand when winter comes." Wang Shisan also felt his nose sore at the sight, and grinned in agreement in a low voice.
"My lord, your efforts are probably going to pay off!" Wan Qiyu smiled coquettishly and quickly changed the topic elsewhere.
"Otherwise, how could he be an adult?" Wang Shisan nodded in admiration.
These former members of the Anxi Army who were redeemed have all been on the line of life and death. Although they seem to be physically and mentally weak at the moment, they will be able to become a soldier again after a period of recovery and a little training. A strong team. The key is to first find a way to open their hearts and rekindle the flame of hope in their eyes. Yu Wenzhi and Song Wu are helpless about this. Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan are also anxious, and they can only Wang Xun, when everyone was helpless, suddenly came up with a strange move.
If everyone can cry loudly and pour out all the grievances in their stomachs, the thing is half done. After a while, the crying on the school ground gradually became quieter. Sha Qianli pulled Huang Wanshan and walked up to Wang Xun shyly. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is something that we have been deliberately deceiving you about. We are both top soldiers, not captains at all. Please take back our official positions and punish us severely!"
"As long as you let us continue to follow you, we are willing to accept any punishment!" Huang Wanshan followed closely behind his good friend and prayed choked with sobs.
The two originally wanted to keep their identities blurred forever. However, with so many people from the past suddenly appearing in the team, it would be very difficult to hide their past experiences. It was better to admit their mistakes proactively to avoid the embarrassment of being found out in the future. .Anyway, based on their understanding of Wang Xun's character, this gentleman is not an unkind person. At most, he can take away his official position and let the two brothers become the top soldiers again. But as long as they can continue to follow the gentleman After death, are you still worried that you won’t have the chance to make a comeback?
Wang Xun didn't care what official positions Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan held back then. He now had a lot of vacant positions waiting to be filled, but he just couldn't find so many talents at the same time. He immediately bowed down with a smile, and took Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan one by one. He was pulled up and asked, "What's the punishment? Punish you two for making the two sides of the Yaosha River so uneasy these past years? Then am I not venting my anger for the big cannibal?! Get up, get up, you earned the position of captain with your own ability. The arrival has nothing to do with the previous status. Unless you are too lazy to do it yourself, you must go home and farm!"
With Wang Xun's promise today, Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan are equivalent to writing off the past. Whether the identity of the school captain was fabricated for emergency purposes or for vanity and self-promotion, it has become irrelevant. It will not affect their future future.
Thinking of Wang Xun's responsibility and comparing what Gao Xianzhi did that day, Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan felt more and more that they were following the right person. Those friends who used to stir up trouble with Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan saw this and felt in their hearts.
I feel very envious. I was also dumped in the west of Congling. I was also treated as an outcast. I lived a vigorous life for three years and earned a position of fame. But I was willing to be a slave, working exhaustingly every day.
, but couldn’t even get enough of the chaff.
"Sir, don't blame them. They were all good men back then. But no matter how good the iron is, it can't withstand the wind and sand." Seeing the envy and regret on the faces of his companions, Sha Qianli bowed his hand to Wang Xun and once again stood up for everyone.
explain.
"I have never blamed them." Wang Xun shook his head with a smile, and then suddenly raised his voice, "I'm just unwilling. I'm not willing to see those good guys from back then end up like this!"
"Sir, Your Excellency..." Everyone felt warm in their hearts when they heard it, and tears immediately fell down. People in the Tang Dynasty have a tradition of getting fame immediately. Anyone who wants to be a soldier doesn't expect to be able to do it in two years.
In front of the military formation, he fought with real swords and guns to find his wife and son? But fate played a big trick on everyone. A war that was originally guaranteed to win suddenly failed. And the general who usually looked brave and incomparable,
He actually left his brothers and escaped first. Anyone who has experienced this personally, who doesn’t feel disappointed? After personally experiencing the three years of suffering, who will easily believe in others? Continue to pick up the knife and fight for a perfect person.
A strange guy going to work for his life?
"I'm not willing to do it!" Wang Xun took a few steps back, his gaze sweeping across the audience like a knife. "I'm not willing to spend so much effort, only to be redeemed by a group of walking corpses. I'm not willing to give up my brothers' lives in exchange for it.
The money that came back was given to a group of shameless beggars. Look at you, look at what you look like now, how do you still look like a man? Even if Wang does not mention any conditions and distributes the gold coins to you, you have the ability to guarantee that half of the money will be given to you.
Won't it be looted by gangsters again on the road?"
The answer is obvious. The Silk Road has never been peaceful. If there is no one to escort them, once they encounter horse thieves on the way back, no one will be able to resist. They will just obediently offer the last money and then kneel down to beg.
Stay alive.
Faced with the facts, everyone could not say anything harsh and could only continue to wipe their eyes. Wang Xun sighed and continued to shout loudly, "I can give each of you a fee to return home. I can also send troops to escort you back to the Central Plains.
But after you return to the Central Plains, how do you face your parents, wives and children? Tell them, damn your children, I came back and have nothing but this injury? I suffered a huge defeat and was captured and kidnapped.
After living as a slave for three years, I finally met a kind-hearted general who took pity on me and sent me back!"
"Sir, please stop talking, please, stop talking! I know I was wrong!" Thinking that he would bring shame to his wife and children when he returned home, everyone howled loudly again. After three years of being a slave, they had been there countless times in their dreams.
I have met my relatives and imagined countless times of being reunited with my wife and children, but who dares to seriously think about what else I can bring to my wife and children in addition to humiliation and burden when I return home?!
They have been avoiding these problems and have never dared to face them directly. Today, Wang Xun exposed them to their faces without leaving any room for them.
They have a home, but they can no longer return to it. Moreover, some people have lost their home forever, and have been regarded by their families as a pile of withered bones by the Wuding River?
"You pat your chests and go back like this? What can you do after you go back? What do you say when your neighbors ask about your experience in the past three years? Do you have the courage to resist when bullies come to your door?" Wang Xun
His voice was like a knife, piercing everyone's chest every word.
Everyone fell silent, including Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan who had been following Wang Xun. After a while, a yellow-faced man came back to his senses and took the lead and asked, "Sir, you are right. We really can't go back like this.
.But sir, tell me, what should we do?"
"What should I do? You have to ask yourselves!" Wang Xun smiled and responded loudly, "Where do you fall and where do you get up? Or continue to lie in the mud and treat yourself like an animal? It's your choice!"
"You should follow my master. I will not treat you badly!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan's old subordinates spoke one after another, using their own experience to persuade their former companions to serve Wang Xun.
"Yes, you are a responsible man. When faced with difficult times, you won't even abandon ordinary traders, let alone us!" Several swordsmen who had surrendered were also deeply touched by this, and they all supported him.
Even if they don't need to tell them, the trainees have also seen the officer markings on Sha Qianli, Huang Wanshan and others. But he was afraid of being bitten by a snake for three years. Gao Xianzhi didn't swear by it back then, but at the critical moment,
However, he used his knife to cut a bloody path from his brother's head.
People who have been abandoned once, once they have the right to choose, will not dare to hand their lives into the hands of others easily again. The trainees looked here and there, hesitated, hesitated, and decided to do it extremely well.
difficult.
Wang Xun was not in a hurry at the side, just waiting quietly for everyone to choose. After everyone had considered all the causes and effects, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I won't make it difficult for everyone. As long as everyone can hold their chests high in the future.
Come on, those Persian gold coins..." Nodding his hands, he motioned to Wanqi Yuxue and others to carry the box containing the gold coins to his side, grabbed a handful, and placed them one by one in the palms of the surrounding trainees, "
One for each of you, as a meeting gift for you. Take it and don’t step back. Don’t worry, there are no conditions. You don’t have to strip naked, and you don’t have to swear to follow me. You have the right to choose your own life in the future. Opening next year
Chun'er, I will send someone to send everyone back to the Central Plains. After everyone goes back, just remember to straighten up and live your life!"
"Sir, are you really going to send us home?" Each of the strong men held the gold coins tightly in their hands, feeling the coldness on them to avoid realizing that they were dreaming.
They couldn't believe their ears, and they couldn't believe that Wang Xun would treat everyone like this. A few thousand pieces, even if they were placed in a wealthy family, would be enough to spend a lifetime. They actually gave them away to these unrelated people without even batting an eyelid.
"You guys, you have to take something back with you!" Wang Xun smiled, bent down, grabbed another handful of gold coins, and walked towards the person a little further away from him, "No matter what, you have to live the rest of your life, right?
Gao Xianzhi can't forgive everyone for what happened back then. But my surname is Wang, not Gao. I won't just watch my seniors in the army begging all the way home in poverty! Take it, senior. Take it, don't shrink your hands.
, I promise I won’t regret it and get it back from you again.”
The shout of "Senior" made everyone feel ashamed. The hand holding the gold coin stretched out, retracted, retracted, and stretched out again, but they were still unable to face this belated respect. Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and choked and shouted, "
Sir..." Immediately afterwards, the trainees around him knelt down one after another, "Sir, Sir..."
"Get up, stand up. There is gold under the men's knees." Wang Xun stretched out his hand and picked up the men closest to him one by one. He smiled and patted the dirt on each other's knees. "Wang is just a lieutenant general. He can't take it."
There are too many things for everyone. But Wang can guarantee that no one can bully you from now until you leave here. If any of you can trust Wang and is willing to serve as a soldier and fight in the war,
Wang also promised that in the face of difficulties, he would never give up on any of you to escape. Wang cannot guarantee that in the future, everyone will have the opportunity to have a wife and a son, but Wang promises that at least you will live as long as possible.
Like a man, you can have a clean land when you die."
"There are too many people here, so I won't hand it out one by one. Everyone comes and gets it by themselves. Each person has one piece, and no one is allowed to take more or lose it." He stopped and stood firm with a smile.
He glanced at everyone's eyes with trust and respect, "After taking it, those who are willing to join Wang's command should report to Captain Sha Du. Those who want to choose to go home should go to General Huang.
Let him arrange a temporary place for you in the city. If you are really homeless and don't want to fight anymore, take the money and go to the city to find a job yourself. But remember, everyone will be in the city in the future.
Live like a human being and live a life with a little taste of being a human being. Others can despise you, but you can't despise yourselves! Lao Sha, Lao Huang, take people to register for everyone! The rest will be left to you two
Already."
"No!" Sha Qianli and Huang Wanshan stood in awe with their hands folded, as if there was a fire hidden in their hearts.
"Go!" Wang Xun waved his hand again and walked away. All the trainees made way for him and looked at him with eyes full of reverence.
Others can despise you, but you cannot despise yourself! If you regard yourself as a pile of garbage, you will never have hope in this life. In fact, they have already understood these concepts in their hearts, but they are just sealed by the earthly soil.
I just couldn't remember it for a moment. Now, someone uses a pair of big hands to gently smash the soil, clean and polish the soul in the heart. Let him see the dignity hidden deep in everyone's heart.
