Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 321 Fight for yourself
"This time the situation is very serious, are you afraid?!"

In an instant, the shouts of the soldiers came from below.

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

Although most people were filled with righteous indignation, especially when they heard that no Turks massacred people and raped prostitutes, they were even more angry.

But some of them still looked timid, they were really a little scared.

Li Chengdao saw all this.

If we don't take some measures against them now, it may be a great hidden danger once they go to the battlefield.

and so.

At this time, Li Chengdao suddenly said seriously.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now!"

The arena was silent, no one spoke.

Li Chengdao continued.

"If you don't mention it now, it means you have no doubts. If you don't have any doubts, you should fight against the enemy wholeheartedly. If something happens again, it will be dealt with by military law!"

After a while, a soldier finally suppressed the fear in his heart, stood up and asked Li Chengdao.

"Your Majesty, with such a disparity in strength between us and the enemy, you still let us stick to Chang'an. Isn't this going to die?"

Hearing this, most of the soldiers cast disgusted eyes and regarded him as a shame.

"Bah, you cowards!"

"Bah, you are not worthy of being a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, you are a coward!"

"It's really embarrassing for our imperial army! How can there be such a useless person?!"

……

But there are also a small number of people who agree, and they also think that this battle is to die, and it is meaningless.

"Isn't this just sending you to death? The number of people is twice as large as ours, how do we fight?"

"The key is that it is meaningless to do so, we can escape for our lives first!"

"Hey, why is it for the country? To put it nicely, it's not for his Li family's country!"

……

Li Shimin next to him heard the discussion of the people below, and his face changed drastically. This is the rhythm of mutiny!

He was about to speak out, but Li Chengdao stopped him.

Li Shimin was puzzled, and said anxiously to Li Chengdao.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army!"

Li Chengdao said calmly.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

For some reason, Li Shimin seemed to feel much relieved when he heard these words.

Li Chengdao looked down at the soldiers below, his eyes resting on those soldiers who were afraid.

asked slowly.

"Do you have relatives in Chang'an City?"

All the soldiers were silent for a moment, a little unclear.

they answer.

"Yes, we have relatives."

This also includes those who are afraid.

Li Chengdao nodded and spoke with a stern expression.

"Since this is the case, how dare you say that you are fighting for my Li family?!"

"Your parents, your wives and daughters are all in the city of Chang'an. If the Turkic army enters the city, what will happen to them?"

"Now the people on the border are suffering, if you let your relatives suffer, think about that scene, think about it, how would you feel?!"

"The old mother and old father who raised me, the wife who has been with me for so long to sew and wash for me, and the children and grandchildren I love!"

"Do you have the heart to watch them being slaughtered by barbarians?"

"You have to remember that you are not fighting for anyone, but for yourself, for your relatives, and for the entire Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chengdao's words stabbed the hearts of everyone present.

Yes, my relatives are still in Chang'an City, where can I escape to?
Take them with you to escape?Obviously unrealistic!
There are too many people like that, and I am afraid that the Turks have already arrived before they are squeezed out.

And once the Turks entered the city, the scene...

hiss~
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It seems that I can already see my relatives being slaughtered, and my wife and daughter being...

His dignity as a man erupted in an instant. If his wife and daughter were to be humiliated by others, but he managed to survive, what kind of man would he be? !

Thinking of this, the eyes of the soldiers who were ready to fight the Turks to the death turned red, and their fighting spirit became even more intense.

they growled.

"Expel the Turks, defend the country!"

"Expel the Turks, defend the country!"

"Expel the Turks, defend the country!"

……

As for the small group of soldiers who were a little scared at first, the blood in their hearts was slowly aroused, their chests kept rising and falling, and their breathing became heavier.

Yes!

My wife and children are all in the city, guarding Chang'an is guarding my own family!
So I must not be cowardly, I am a masculine man, the pillar of the family.

If you are cowardly at this time, who will protect them, who will protect your home?

Humans have feelings, but animals are cold-blooded and ruthless. People live their whole lives for the sake of loving mothers, filial piety, and full children and grandchildren?

But now, his home was threatened, so he had to stand up like a man and defend this little world that belonged to him.

At the same time, the country must be defended.

Because, a family is the smallest country, and a country is composed of thousands of families, and only a country can have a family!

Seeing their reactions, Li Chengdao was very satisfied.

In fact, Li Chengdao didn't need to ask their opinions just now, and he just killed those who were timid to avoid the war and disturb the morale of the army.

However, although this iron-blooded method can quickly stabilize the morale of the military, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Perhaps, after killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, no one dared to have any opinions at that time and became obedient soldiers.

But this is actually not a sincere confession, but just a fear of beheading.

They will not follow orders sincerely, but may feel resentful.

Once you have resentment in your heart, you will not be able to fight well, and you may be easily bribed by the enemy to engage in collusion with the enemy and betray the country.

So Li Chengdao didn't do that, because he knew a truth.

To completely conquer a person is not to conquer his body, but to conquer his mind.

Let these people go to the battlefield willingly, rather than being forced to fight.

Let them understand that everything they are doing now is for themselves.

At this time Li Chengdao said.

"You must make it clear that the fight against the Turks is not for me, the emperor, nor for these marshals and generals, but for yourselves!"

"As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I will also personally take command this time, and the imperial conquest will be conducted personally!"

"Because I clearly know my responsibility, so do you know your responsibility?"

"You are sons, husbands, fathers, and even a warrior of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The imperial court gives you so much salaries every year, have they eaten into the stomachs of dogs?! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, now is the time for you to repay the imperial court!"

Speaking of this, Li Chengdao paused to check the situation of the people below.

Almost everyone below agreed with what Li Chengdao said and couldn't help but nod.

Those timid soldiers began to feel remorse for their actions.

What a loser I am!

He is obviously a glorious Tang warrior who usually enjoys preferential treatment, but now that the country is in trouble, he actually wants to escape, what a wolf!
Besides, I still have so many responsibilities, whether as a father or a husband, I must protect my family, because I am a man!
