In Yanran City, Qi Shizhong commanded the transportation of the wounded, and the soldiers who died were also sent down.

The fire outside the city has not been extinguished, but Qi Shizhong is not lazy, and still has a few people to monitor the Jurchen clan.

However, the Jurchen tribe outside didn't seem to be planning to attack, just resting in place.

Dusk gradually came, dyeing the city outside the fortress a little golden, and there was also a bit like the twilight of a hero.

"General, the Jurchens outside are not so easy to retreat, we have such a small number of soldiers now, if we don't ask for help, we won't be able to hold it at all."

The standard-bearer He Qi wiped his face and said to a group of soldiers.

Qi Shizhong also frowned, he felt that those Jurchens outside were not so easy to give up.

"Let's go and ask the caravan."

Qi Shizhong thought about it and took the lead in finding the caravan.

There was only a little place in the city, and it was too easy to find the other party, and it didn't take a moment for Qi Shizhong to lead someone to find the other party.

"Master Jun, you are..."

When the little guy outside saw Qi Shizhong, his heart suddenly tightened, but his face was still calm, and he asked quite enthusiastically.

"I'll find your shopkeeper and let him come out."

Qi Shizhong waved his hand, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the person in front of him, and directly asked the other person to come out.

"Master Jun, can you tell me what the hell is going on?"

The little guy was a little unsure of their intentions, and he was still a little nervous in his heart.

Qi Shizhong's brows furrowed, and his eyes were a little impatient when he looked at the other party.

"It's polite to ask you to call someone out, and you want us to break down the door directly?"

The little guy was startled when he heard this, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he quickly nodded and turned around and entered the house.

A moment later, a woman wearing a Kezi skirt and a hosta on her head, looking a little delicate, walked out lightly.

"I've seen a few military masters."

The woman looked quite delicate, but she was still very polite when she saw a few people, and she was very polite.

This kind of attitude made a few rough old men on the side see it, and they all swallowed their saliva.

I've been here for a long time, and I've never seen such a beautiful woman.

Qi Shizhong was very calm, but after seeing that the person who came out was a woman, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised on his face.

"You're the shopkeeper of this caravan? It's actually a woman, and you don't have any old men in your family? ”

In a caravan like this, most of them are headed by men, and where are women.

It's not discriminating against women or anything, it's all about the convenience of movement and the consideration of how to deal with things.

A woman is in a caravan, but it is very inconvenient.

"The little girl is indeed the shopkeeper of the caravan, her father fell ill a month ago, and this time the caravan must go, and the little girl has no reason not to accompany her."

Rou Qianwen replied softly.

Qi Shizhong shook his head when he heard this, and he didn't bother to ask more about these things, "What are the things you are transporting in the caravan this time?" ”

"My lord, these are the goods of our caravan, but they cannot be revealed at will." Let's have a book

Hearing this, Rou Qianwen hurriedly replied.

Qi Shizhong frowned, "The Jurchens outside may be here for your goods, if you don't say what it is, how can we analyze it?" ”

Hearing this, Rou Qianwen raised her head, with a bit of determination in her eyes, "If the girl is really here for our goods, is it possible that the adults are ready to give these things to them, so as to make peace?" ”

Qi Shizhong nodded in response, "If the Jurchen really came for your goods, then it is not impossible to give." ”

"It's ours, why did you give it to them? The military master is also the guard general of the Zhou Kingdom, how can he do such a thing to betray the people? ”

When Rou Qianwen heard this, she was immediately angry.

This is something she has worked so hard to bring back, and it basically presses on her family's background.

If you let the other party hand it over, then what's the point? I'm afraid that my home will collapse because of this.

"I'm afraid I don't know, how many Jurchens are here, our defenders are only 500 people, more than 50 people were killed in the battle today, and there are nearly 4,000 Jurchens outside, so how can we fight?

If the Jurchens break the city, these things of yours will still be robbed, and if you hand over these things, you can make the Jurchens withdraw their troops, at least everyone in the city will be protected. ”

If he could, Qi Shizhong would naturally not do such a thing.

But what can be done in this situation?

There were too many Jurchen people outside, and he was not so sure that he could hold the city.

If the other party breaks the city, the people in the city will definitely not be spared.

After all, it is better to give the other party's things to the foreign enemy, anyway, the city is broken, and the other party's things cannot be saved.

When the family members on the side heard this, they all glared angrily, although they knew that what the other party said was true.

But listening to this at the moment, I still don't want to.

In any case, this thing is theirs, and no one will be willing to give it up easily.

"So what, isn't it your people's job to protect the people?"

The little guy on the side plucked up his courage and said.

"Then when the city is broken, you will also die, if you hand over the goods, you can also exchange your own life, so are you willing?"

Qi Shizhong was not angry, but said calmly.

"Master Jun," Rou Qianwen stepped forward, "How did Master Jun know that the other party was coming for our goods?" Most of our commodities are traded from the Western Regions, and they are not grain. ”

Rou Qianwen's meaning is very clear, she doesn't have any food here, and it is not worth the other party to fight for it like this.

Maybe not her commodity?

"I have been stationed here for nearly ten years, and the Jurchens have hardly come to harass them, even a few times, they have all left after a tentative attack, and now it is the first time that they have come to attack with such fanfare.

And the only change in this, that is, your arrival, presumably the Jurchens are coming for you, as for the things you bring, as long as they are valuable, they will want them. ”

Qi Shizhong was quite calm, and explained one by one.

His goal here is naturally to protect this city so that the people can live.

If war could be avoided in this way, he would still be willing.

When Rou Qianwen heard this, she was still a little reluctant, "What if it's not?" How can the military master pin his hopes on the other party to take the initiative to withdraw from the army, shouldn't he send troops for help? ”

Since the enemy is coming, if the enemy is defeated, it will naturally ask for reinforcements, and it seems that the other party has no such intentions.

This made Rou Qianwen a little incomprehensible, but she really couldn't understand this approach.
