I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 271 A spark in Jiangling City

The emotions of these dozens of people quickly infected others.

More people shouted: "Defend our fields! Defend our homes!"

Emotions began to flood through the crowd like a collapsing river.

Locals in Jiangling were also infected with people coming from Yizhou.

Why did they come with the general?

What did the general say?

Taking Jingzhou means protecting Yizhou!

Protecting Yizhou means protecting the fields assigned to them!

Li Heng raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling the crowd to quiet down.

After a while, the excited crowd gradually calmed down.

A logistics soldier suddenly said loudly: "General, my child is fourteen years old this year. Can he study?"

He would have never dared to say this kind of thing before, but now, he didn't know where he got the courage to ask it in front of everyone.

Li Heng asked: "Which department are you from?"

"illiterate."

"I am a logistics soldier who transports supplies. I follow the commander to deliver medicinal materials."

"No, the one who asked the question just now."

"No! Your life belongs to you and your family. Everything you do is for your family, for your child to have enough to eat, and for him to go to school!"

Li Heng pointed in the north direction and continued to loudly say: "The army of Wei thieves is now ten miles away. They are trying to defeat Master Wang and let those decadent big families return to the land of Jiangling and bring them back to you." Heavy shackles will lock you firmly in the fields!"

"Is he literate?"

"me?"

The logistics soldier was completely shocked. This was the first time he had heard such a statement in his life.

The logistics soldier looked at Li Heng with wide eyes, disbelief written all over his face, and he patted his chest excitedly and said, "As long as my child has a place to study, my life belongs to the general!"

After saying that, he covered the mouth of the logistics soldier, even trying to push him down and disappear from the general's sight.

After asking the question, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and should not have asked the general this question in front of everyone.

"They want to take away 70% of the harvest from an acre of land! Cart after cart is used to transport away the grain you have worked so hard to cultivate, and pile it into their granaries. In the end, when it rots, they will not take it out to feed the hungry. You damned ones, take a bite!"

"Because I want him to live a better life."

Li Heng waved to him and said, "Come to me!"

"General, he is really ignorant. He is new here and doesn't know the rules of the army!"

"General, he is ignorant, he is a new recruit to the army!" An old man standing next to the logistics soldier said quickly.

"Why do you want your children to read?"

Several soldiers went over, snatched the logistics soldier from the old man's hand, and brought it to Li Heng.

"Go to the private schools first. The government will build ten private schools in Jiangling. As long as you are willing, everyone's children can go to study!"

Everyone else was shocked too.

At this moment, everyone's eyes changed.

His originally dull eyes became bright and then became fanatical!

"I! Li Heng! General Han, now make a promise to each of you! I will legislate to protect the fields in your hands. No one else can infringe on your fields! It only belongs to you!"

The crowd cheered loudly.

Li Heng pressed his hand again, and after an unknown amount of time, the crowd became quiet again.

"But legislation is far from enough. Now the enemy is right in front of us, and the law cannot restrain them! Only the swords in our hands can drive them away! I have millions of sharp arrows and inexhaustible swords here! "

"However, I cannot complete the expulsion of the Wei thieves by myself. I need you! I need each and every one of you! You stand up, not only to protect each other's fields, but also to protect your own home!"

"Please convey what I said today to every father and fellow villager in Jingzhou, and to the tens of millions of fathers and fellow villagers in the world who have suffered like you!"

"Our faith is burning in Jiangling City today. Compared to the entire world, it is just a spark, but this spark will soon sweep the entire world!"

After Li Heng finished speaking, the whole place fell into dead silence. After a long silence, the crowd once again broke into even more enthusiastic shouts: "Long live the great man! Long live the great general! Long live the great man! Long live the great general..."

The sound began to spread in the camp outside Gangneung City.

The sound shook the sky.

Under the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, the general returned to Jiangling City with his generals and staff.

At this moment, a brand new force spread from Yizhou to Jingzhou.

It will be unstoppable!

This young general received the full support of the Jiangling family and farmers when the Wu and Wei armies attacked at the same time.

During the entire Three Kingdoms period, only Zhuge Liang did this.

When he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Li Heng got off his horse. He looked up at the magnificent sunset in the western sky and said, "No matter how beautiful the sunset is, it has to sink and wait for the sun to rise again tomorrow."

After entering, Li Heng took a seat, and the others sat on both sides.

"When will Lu Xun's warship arrive?"

"We can arrive in Jiangling tomorrow." Ma Yong said.

"Okay, Xia Houru will definitely attack again tomorrow. Who can fight?"

"General, the last general can still fight!" Luo Xian stood up and said.

"General, the junior general can also fight!" Guan Tong stood up, "It is boring to let the junior general shoot the Wei cavalry with the eight-oxen crossbow. The junior general wants to go into battle to kill the enemy!"

"Lingze, can you really still fight?" Li Heng said with a smile.

Luo Xian immediately vowed: "Don't mention another 10,000 Wei troops, another 50,000, even the last general will be swallowed by the general!"

These words reminded Li Heng of Wei Yan. If Wei Yan was in Jingzhou, this battle would probably go much smoother.

But having said that, we can't just count on Wei Yan, we must give these people a chance to grow.

"I don't want you to fight the front army tomorrow."

Luo Xian was stunned for a moment and said aggrievedly: "Does the general not believe in the courage of the last general to kill the enemy?"

"No, no, no." Li Heng shook his head and then glanced at Du Yu.

Du Yu said: "Tomorrow Lu Xun will arrive at Jiangling, and our army will pretend to be the Wu army and enter the battlefield. Xia Houru must think that if we unite with the Wu army, we will retreat. General, why don't you lead an army out of the city tonight, taking advantage of the darkness, and go around to Maicheng?" Where are the Wei troops lying in ambush nearby, waiting to retreat?"

Luo Xian was startled and said: "The general is willing!"

Li Heng smiled and said: "Okay, since you are willing, then Xia Houru will be left to you. I want to live."

"The last general will live up to the general's orders!"

"General, where is the last general?" Guan Tong said.

"General Guan, would you like to join the front army?"

"The general is willing!"

"Okay, then General Guan will go to the front army tomorrow."

"The last general takes command!"

"Shiying, are you ready for the stone cannon for Lu Xun?"

"Everything is ready."

"Wait until the Wei army retreats before taking action."

"Here."

Li Heng looked at Du Yu and said, "I want to push the front to Xiangyang, is it possible?"

"It wasn't possible before, but it is possible now. What the general said today inspired everyone everywhere, and the people all rushed to tell each other."
