Shi Jiwei was busy checking the military situation, so he naturally had no time to ask about Pan Zihan's private affairs, but he was quite satisfied that he could return to the military camp this time, and nodded slightly. He didn't expect this school to be dispatched to the generals, and he couldn't use it to sort out and transmit information.

After Pan Zihan approached, he was not verbose, "This time I returned from the camp, it seems that many people in Huaishuo City are fleeing. In order to fight the enemy soldiers, I have a plan. ”

Hearing that the people of Huaishuo were fleeing, Shi Jiwei frowned slightly, with me guarding the city, where is the need to be so panicked. However, it is rare to hear Pan Zihan's recognition of Guan Cheng, and he wants to offer a plan, so he might as well listen to it. "The school has a clever plan, let's hear it. ”

Pan Zihan shook his head slightly, and said in a frustrated voice, "The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Now that the two armies are fighting, the matter of grain and grass is the top priority in the Golden Horde and in my arms. The more food and grass, the better. Since the people of Huaishuo City are short-sighted, they might as well collect grain and grass in the city, and as for the money, they will be calculated after the war has stopped. In this way, our army has no worries about food and grass. In addition, for those displaced people who left Huaishuo City, it can also be seen as a righteous act to help the army contribute food and grass. ”

At the beginning, Shi Jiwei looked at the big head that imitated the appearance of an old pedant, and almost couldn't help laughing, but when he heard the back, he nodded frequently. The increase in grain and grass is not counted, the important thing is that for those displaced people who have fled, Huaishuo has a more confident explanation. It was not that the people of Huaishuo were panicked and did not believe in the eternal stability of the city, but the contribution made to pursue the enemy soldiers in the future.

"That's really cheap for those grass people, and it also earned some fame by the way. Since this matter is proposed by the school, you will take the lead in handling it, and the sooner the better. Shi Jiwei gradually became satisfied with this school.

"I'll arrange it. Pan Zihan hurriedly answered.

This time the purpose was achieved, Pan Zihan turned around and walked in the direction of Huaishuo City, of course, he brought Duanmu Xu, although he was tired, he felt extremely comfortable, he could not only save one person, but also save a city of people, more than ever felt that this time back, extremely correct.

But if you want to evacuate the city's people, you can only be evildoers.

Pan Zihan took a large group of men and horses and rushed towards Huaishuo City. Huaishuo City is similar to other border cities, the people of the city are mainly merchants, and when the war comes, some large families do evacuate one after another, but the vast majority still stay.

As soon as Pan Zihan entered the city, he issued a notice that because of the need to defend the city, he specially borrowed grain from the people of the city on credit, which must be in kind, and was set at one stone per person. If you don't have enough food at home, you can go out to borrow food.

As soon as the notice came out, the city was in an uproar.

It is not uncommon to collect grain and grass for war, but it is absurd for a person to ask for a stone, and it is a real thing, you must know that most of the people in the city are merchants, not farmers, and the most grain stored at home is for more than a month. If you don't have enough food, you can go out and borrow food. Why is that?

Some shrewd people considered that the war had already started and the city was closed, and at this time they forcibly requisitioned food, so they secretly packed up their belongings and left the city. At the gate of Huaishuo, although some soldiers guarding the gate inquired and told them that they were going out to borrow food, they were actually allowed to go.

Seeing this, one day later, the vast army of evacuees set out east, north, or south, and went to another land, each with its own destiny.

Even some of the city's citizens who had already handed over the grain also came back to their senses at this time, and the adults of the school were obviously releasing water, and they also fled with their families.

The entire Huaishuo City, at this time, was ten rooms and nine empty, looking at the empty streets, Duanmu Xu sighed with emotion, and finally saved most of them.

Those who stay are really unrelated to take refuge, or they are old, weak, sick and disabled, and can't stand the toss.

However, what made Duanmu Xu strange was that Youyixuan's shopkeeper and his companions, except for the missing little ginger, seemed to be all there, and even not only made up enough food to be paid, but also donated a lot of other money and materials. As the saying goes, businessmen value profit over parting, come for profit, and go for profit. Once it is unprofitable, where will guard which piece of land. Could it be that the shopkeeper Jian is really for the captain, or is the second shopkeeper for Li Junhou in the North Wing City?

Pan Zihan once asked teasingly, "This time, everyone goes out to borrow food, and I am afraid that there will be fewer people who have leisure to drink." ”

Shopkeeper Jane's answer was even more absolute, "Whenever one person wants to drink, they will always have Yixuan open." ”

This is purely perfunctory by the businessman, but Pan Zihan and Duanmu Xu are not disgusted.

At this time, those who have the ability to leave but are still willing to stay, there must always be someone or something that allows them to stay. Maybe Shi Jiwei and Li Deyuan were the ones who let them stay, maybe not. Duanmu Xu didn't know.

Although he broke through the lower realm of Ming Wei and let him slowly pay attention to the various details between heaven and earth, Uncle Huangfu once said, "Even if you understand the wind and rain in all directions, you will always be so unexpected in front of people's hearts." I remember that when I said this, the faint sadness on Uncle Huangfu's face gradually emerged from the scars.

Duanmu is a small guy in the kitchen, and he is rarely involved in complicated personnel, and it is very difficult to even tell Shi Jiwei to evacuate the people of Huaishuo City this time, which is not what he is good at. But fortunately, Pan Zihan came up with this perfect plan.

The rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled, Pan Zihan and others did not collect food, but there was really nothing they could do to send them out of the city.

When Pan Zihan and Duanmu Xu returned to Weiyuan City to resume their lives, Shi Jiwei was slightly dissatisfied, the grain collected was slightly less, and there were too many people leaving. But it's always good to get more food.

His mind was still staring at the mound in the distance, increasing in height and slowly, and it seemed that the other party's method of building a mountain was about to run out. Just wait for another shock tomorrow, maybe Durhan will give up. Returning to the head-to-head battle, with the advantage of the moat and the city wall, he believed that soon Durhan would have to obediently withdraw his troops, and when the time came, he would cover up all the way, which would be a bad breath for Daxian.

Shi Jiwei ordered that in Weiyuan City, the cavalry should rest well and wait for tomorrow's charge.

In the middle of the night, the people were not noisy, except for the soldiers on patrol, and occasionally the sound of feeding the horses. Pan Zihan didn't sleep, and Duanmu Xu didn't sleep, both had questions that they couldn't figure out, a letter and a judgment.

Yuan Cheng has lived in the palace for a long time, devoted himself to cultivation, and has never been very familiar with the affairs of the court, and this time he can rush the letter in advance, which is bound to be the news from Zhao Pingcheng.

For Zhao Pingcheng, Pan Zihan doesn't have much affection, although he usually treats himself with courtesy, but he can't speak freely like Yuan Cheng. It's just because of Yuan Cheng's relationship that he is polite to Zhao Pingcheng. After all, according to Pan Zihan's wishes, if one day the emperor really sets up another prince, he hopes that it will be Zhao Yuancheng, who will at least do things above board, unlike that Zhao Pingcheng, who feels cloudy and foggy, and can't see it really.

Since Zhao Pingcheng was able to see the crisis in Huaishuo in advance, where did the news come from, and the movements of the enemy army detected by the Privy Council. This is unlikely. The deputy envoy of the Privy Council is a member of the Shi family, and this time the enemy army is coming, and I heard that Shi Jiwei was still drunk at that time. If the military information detected in the Privy Council, Shi Jiwei must have known about it a long time ago.

The news did not come from the Privy Council, but from where? Pan Zihan was puzzled. However, what made him a little relieved was that at least he was not an outcast, and Yuan Cheng took a great risk to write to let him leave.

Duanmu Xu was still thinking about the things that happened in Huaishuo Military Town during this time, from Xiao Jiang Tou's letter and inexplicable disappearance, to Pan Zihan's departure and return, and Youyixuan and the people continued to stick to Huaishuo City, there are too many things to figure out, is this related to Uncle Huangfu's reason for judging that Huaishuo must fall.
