"My lord, this ......" Wang Dezhao looked extremely embarrassed, and said in front of Zhang Fan, "The lower officials know that the lower officials are dedicated to the people, but isn't it embarrassing for the lower officials to do this, my lord?"

"Why, if this is not the matter that the official asked you to do, what are the difficulties," Zhang Fan didn't even look at him, just raised his head and looked straight ahead, and glanced at Wang Dezhao with the corner of his eye.

This glance made Wang Dezhao's heart flutter, but he didn't know what illness he was doing today, although he looked at Zhang Fan's eyes with some fear, but he still said what he thought in his heart: "My lord, this is ...... I'm afraid the lower officials ......"

When he asked Wang Dezhao to come over just now, he thought it was for the sake of the Japanese Kou, after all, this matter was the most urgent at this time, but when he arrived here, he was told by Zhang Fan that Suzhou City had been broken by soldiers from Fusang, and now the people in Suzhou City had fled, Zhang Fan asked him to open the city gate to let those people avoid disaster in the capital.

"My lord, it's not that the lower officials are unwilling," Wang Dezhao always showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "It's just this...... My lord, because of the raid of the Japanese invaders, the people who came from Songjiang Mansion have almost filled this Yangzhou Mansion now, if you ...... it again"

"Fart," Zhang Fan didn't wait for Wang Dezhao to finish speaking, then scolded loudly, "What is filled, don't forget, I'm here now, what is it like in this Yangzhou City, I know better than you, if you chirp crookedly in front of me again, I'll let people throw you out of the city immediately,"

Wang Dezhao was already more afraid of Zhang Fan, although he was also tough in front of Zhang Fan just now, but it was just because he was thinking about his own life, and now Zhang Fan said this kind of thing, although he knew that this was just Zhang Fan's angry words to scare him, but he also knew that if he didn't agree again, I am afraid that this angry words would become a real threat.

"Xia Guan Ming...... White, the lower official will let people take the south gate and ...... and the east gate was opened to welcome the people who had fled," Wang Dezhao said, but he trembled a little when he said this.

"If you know, don't you get out and do something, what are you still doing here," Zhang Fan angrily reprimanded.

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan understands......" Wang Dezhao said as he ran out quickly, but he didn't care about his feet when he was in a panic, and he fell, but he didn't wait for his body to get up, so he ran out with a roll.

Seeing Wang Dezhao like this, the few people present who were already uncomfortable by the current situation also felt a lot more happy.

"Lord Zhang," Wan Zhong on the side said, "The distance between Suzhou and here is not close, and most of those people come on foot, so it is estimated that someone will not be able to get here until tonight at the earliest,"

"Alas, there is no way to do this," Zhang Fan sighed and said, "Now there is a shortage of manpower, and now that Suzhou City has been breached, if those Fusang soldiers make any more moves, they must be coming to this Yangzhou City, and now I have ordered the defenders in the city to step up their defenses, especially the East Gate and the South Gate, and now there is no surplus manpower at all, let alone go to the road to pick up those fleeing refugees, so they can only ask for more blessings,"

"How is the battle situation between Lord Hai and Songjiang Mansion," Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng.

"My lord, the news I just received," Wang Meng also hurriedly returned, but his expression was very worried, "I don't know if anyone has promised any benefits to those Japanese robbers, they don't care about their own lives at all, although whether it is Lord Hai, or the defenders surrounding Songjiang Mansion, the number of people is more than the two places, but it is not much, and compared with the two sides, the swords, guns and arrows are still faintly stronger than the other party, and now with the kind of deadly fighting style of the Japanese invaders, The losses on our side are very serious, and now our defenders who are wearing armor and have cavalry in the formation are fighting with those Japanese invaders, but almost one of the Japanese is dead, and one of our side will be injured, especially on the side of Songjiang Mansion, the casualties of our army are even more serious, and the Hai Daren's side is better, according to this situation, when the time comes, we will successfully annihilate these two groups of Japanese invaders, and I am afraid that the rest of our side will not be able to go to Suzhou City to fight those Fusang soldiers,"

After Zhang Fan heard this very bad news reported by Wang Meng, his brows furrowed deeply again, and in the past few days, he has frowned more times than he has frowned in the past 20 years.

"What are you worried about," Wan Zhong on the side saw Zhang Fan's appearance and asked.

"It's not that I'm worried that the defenders on both sides will lose too much money in the battle with the Japanese invaders, although this also makes me very sad," Zhang Fan said, "I'm worried about the next move of the Fusang soldiers who have now captured Suzhou City."

"What do you mean by ......" Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Wan Zhong seemed to have thought of something, and asked nervously.

"That's right," Zhang Fan nodded, and said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid that their next target is here, and this situation is very likely, their purpose this time is to come to us to make trouble, naturally the greater the chaos caused, the better, and now this group of Fusang soldiers who captured Suzhou City, from getting off the ship to capturing Suzhou City, did not spend much time and energy, and now they can come to us as long as they take a little rest,"

"And the most worrying thing is that there are not many defenders in this big Yangzhou city now," Wang Meng on the side also said, "Although a group of people fell in before, compared to the more than 10,000 Fusang troops who are about to attack, the number is still not enough, and now in this Yangzhou city, in addition to the large number of people, there are also people from the surrounding counties and townships to avoid trouble, as well as the people who escaped from Songjiang Mansion, and at night, there will be a large number of people from Suzhou Mansion, by that time, The city must be crowded with people, and that would cause a lot of inconvenience to the defenders defending the city."

What Wang Meng said was very serious, and what he said about this situation was something that Zhang Fan had not thought of before, and it was also very correct.

"We must find a way to let the people in the city hide in the houses as much as possible, so that they can be safer, and secondly, we can make way for the soldiers defending the city to walk," Zhang Fan said, "Wang Meng, you should go and have people write a notice in my name now, and paste it all over the streets and alleys of the city, and let Wang Dezhao's people cooperate to let the people hide in the houses."

"I understand your lord's thoughts, but ......," Wang Meng said worriedly, "but my lord, every household in Yangzhou City is now closed doors, and only a few people open the door to let those people from other places enter their homes to rest, but how can they ......?"

The so-called people's hearts, this is not to say that there are no good people in the world, but in times of crisis, people always have to protect themselves first, and then take care of the safety of others, and now, the people in Yangzhou City are even worried about their own safety, where do they have the leisure to care about the life and death of others, and it is already very good to be able to take out a little food at home to them.

Zhang Fan was also uncomfortable by the situation that Wang Meng said, but there is a good thing, fortunately, it is now a feudal era where imperial power is supreme, and Zhang Fan now has the identity of the general who drove the Yi, although it was temporarily appointed, but his right has not shrunk at all, although the imperial court also has a clear rule that the generals who march and fight shall not disturb the life of the local civilians, but it is not written that this situation cannot be done like that.

"You ask the people who write the notices to add a sentence to me," Zhang Fan said, "and let the people in the city open their doors to me, and let in as many refugees as possible who are now sleeping on the streets, and the most important thing is to make room for me in the main streets of the city."

"But my lord, what if the people of the city are unwilling," Wang Meng asked.

"Then smash the door open for me, let the refugees live in, and smash the door of whichever family is unwilling," Zhang Fan said, "First take those big families, and give me a little more ruthless, if any family is unwilling, let people talk to them first, if they don't agree, then I will drive all the families out of their homes and let the refugees live in,"

"Master Zhang, ...... Isn't it a little too rude," Wan Zhong next to him said with some worry after listening to Zhang Fan's plan.

"Father-in-law Wan, this is not the time to be indecisive," Zhang Fan said, "I know, if I do this, I may cause big trouble in the future, but if I don't do this, it is very likely that the Fusang people will break through this Yangzhou City, and when that time comes, it will not be a matter of responsibility, I am afraid that you and I will both die in Huangquan,"

"This ......" Wan Zhong heard Zhang Fan say this, hesitated for a moment, raised his head and said to Wang Meng, "Wang Qianhu, please hurry up and do this matter, if there is any family who is unwilling, please treat it more fiercely, this matter can't help but be related to the safety of those refugees, and also related to the safety of the entire Yangzhou City," Wan Zhong's attitude has become so big for a reason, some people may think, if this Yangzhou City is broken, he just has to escape, why bother, but now he and Zhang Fan are one of the prison soldiers and the other is a general, If the city of Yangzhou is broken, they escape, Zhang Fan has the protection of Longqing, but there is nothing; And he, a fledgling and unknown little eunuch, must be a good material for a black pot and a top tank.

"Lord Supervisor, please rest assured, the next official will do it," Wang Meng clenched his fists and said this before turning away, although he had some contempt for this change in Wan Zhong in his heart, but at this time he couldn't take care of so much,
