"The most important thing now is to survive, now I can't take care of your Yang family, and I can't take care of your lives, if you don't listen to my orders, then you will die, your Yang family will kill the soldiers and horses under your command, what do you think I am doing in Huairen County?" Juda replied unceremoniously.

These words made the old Chinese army look at Zhu Da with wide eyes, last night this young man who should have been strong and strong swallowed his anger and agreed to those conditions, and he didn't see any hardness and anger at all, but today he didn't give an inch, and then looked around at the murderous young man, and the four members of the Yang family knew how to choose.

Yang Lao Zhongjun is the leader of the people, once he decides that his face becomes fast, he already has a smile after looking back and turning his face, and with a bit of righteousness and awe-inspiring expression: "The Tartars are here, it is a major matter related to life and death, our Yang family, as an official army, naturally can't be greedy for life and fear of death, the little brother of the Zhu family, the old man is afraid that he will be unbearable when he is old, but these three are the protectors of my family's eldest master, and the skills in the battlefield in the army are all good, you can use it, if there is a trace of slackness, the old man can't spare them first!" ”

When he spoke like this, he first took out his own house, and the faces of the three behind him were very ugly, but he had no choice but to make an appearance of serving the country in the army.

"The ten of you will take these three to the two sect leaders, Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, and the two of them will be in charge." Zhu Da called the family on duty and said, these three generals are probably really capable of soldiers, if they are not careful, they are likely to make trouble, but in the hands of Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, there will be no trouble, those two are old generals and guards, and they can't play tricks in front of them.

Seeing that the three helpless were "escorted" away, Zhu Da got out of the way from the door, and let the old Chinese soldier Yang Zhaogui with a stiff smile on his face go in, they originally lived in the Qin family, at this time in Huairen County, there is no better place to live than here, when the two passed by, this old Yang Zhongjun did not control his emotions after all, and glanced at Zhu Da with resentment, Zhu Da sneered, lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Yang, I can do this today, even if he is gone, Do you think I'll let you go back alive? ”

Such a naked expression made the old Yang Zhongjun change color in shock, obviously it was flat or staggered a few steps with garlic under his feet, Zhu Da didn't go to help, just smiled and said: "I want to understand something......."

The old Chinese army didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly walked towards his residence, Zhu Da was just about to walk to the inner hall, but he heard someone shouting outside the courtyard gate: "I am a friend of your Zhu Gongzi, I heard that he is here, please let me know." ”

After hearing this voice, Zhu Da greeted him, he heard Li Yuan's movements, Zhu Da originally planned to go to the Li family caravan after seeing Qin Juren, as a foreigner, this must be settled, and the Li family caravan can't even go fast with people and goods, and it won't go out of the city at this time.

Zhu Da greeted in front of the door, and Li Yuan and the two stewards were immediately let in, and Li Lou's face was no longer full of spirit from last night, with a wry smile and helplessness.

"Brother Zhu, it seems that this year is going to be spent in your place, and I will have to bother Brother Zhu for a while."

"My family doesn't talk to each other, so I will arrange for someone to go to the inn in the afternoon, and the money and food in the city will be borne by me."

"I'm really ashamed, since I met Brother Zhu, the Li family has nothing to return, this time I came, one is to ask for help for money and food, and the other is to do my part for the defense of the city, the Li family has more than 100 people in the caravan, more than 10 people who can shoot bows, and 70 people who can take knives into battle, these people have been handed over to the Zhu brothers for dispatch, if there are dead and wounded, the Li family has its own pension."

At such a critical moment, everyone in the city should go all out, whether he is a citizen of Huairen County or not, but Li Yuan's initiative is still moving, and then think about the few people in the Yang Lao Chinese Army, it will make people sigh even more, that is still the official army with the responsibility of defending the country and defending the land, and it is not as good as the caravan people.

"In this situation, I have thanked Brother Li on behalf of the county's fathers and elders, and Brother Li will be rewarded for his generosity today."

"My family won't talk about the politeness, if the city is breached, there are a few more people in the Li family's caravan who can survive, not to mention any goods, this is also for self-protection."

Li Cheng said very truthfully, but Zhu Da also understood what the other party meant, Li Cheng didn't want to put too much favor on his back, after all, this is also the obligation of everyone in the city at this time.

"Brother Li, don't worry, Zhu will not forget this matter, someone will go to the inn in the afternoon to check the people, the affairs are busy, Brother Li will go back first to pass a word to ventilate, so as not to catch everyone off guard."

Everyone showed their attitudes that there was not so much time to be polite, and after Li Cheng finished what he wanted to say, he didn't even go to say hello to Qin Juren, and left.

“...... The caravan guards are still reliable, they have experienced the scene, they can shoot bows, they can hold knives, they can kill, they can listen to orders, they can be bound by rules, they are better than the errands in our county......"

“...... There are 237 people in my hands who can be used, plus 73 people in the county, 80 caravan guards, more than 70 people who know martial arts, etc., plus there are about 500 people who can barely be called able to fight......

In Qin Juren's study, Zhu Da and Qin Chuan said that the power they could use in their hands was said to be present on this occasion, but now that the army is in chaos, someone must always sit on the side of the Jiading Brigade.

Listening to Zhu Da finish talking about the number, Qin Juren took a pen and wrote down a few words on the paper, raised his head and said: "Those who can defend the city are still different from those who can fight, there are almost more than 2,000 men in the whole city who can go to the city, and this is the important point." ”

Qin Chuan is not a literati who only knows the scriptures, he has read military books and knows how to use soldiers in martial arts, Zhu Da really doesn't know as much as him in terms of defending the city, Qin Juren frowned after adding a sentence, stared at Zhu Da and asked: "You recruited so many young and strong family members, and practiced all day long, is it just for today?" ”

"Father-in-law, if the child has such ability, why is he here today?" Juda replied with a wry smile.

If you really want to think so far, then there will be no tragedy of the slaughter of Baibao Village and Zheng Jiaji, Qin Juren can also understand this, he sat there and sighed and said: "At such a critical juncture, I won't gossip too much with you, how to defend the city, how much grain and grass is needed, it's best to report to me a plan tonight, I will calculate the number according to this plan to support, if this disaster can be survived, everything will go well in the future, if it can't be survived, our father and son will see each other in the next life......"

Speaking of this, Qin Chuan smiled to himself again, shook his head and said: "Our remote place is not worth caring about the Tartars, nine times out of ten it is a transit, but there is no need to think about it." ”

Zhu Da didn't answer, just bowed down and said goodbye, and when he left the house, Qin Juren said behind him: "Hufang Zhou Gui has come to me, just entrust the hook on the account to Zhou Lu, and now that Zhou's family is his own person, he can be trusted." ”

After the collegiate discussion in the early morning, smart people know who is the world in the county in the future, of course, everyone knows that it will not be settled until this big sadness, the Zhou family is a real smart person, and naturally they must do their homework in front of everyone.

Coming out of Qin's house, Zhu Da, who was walking on the street, was somewhat relaxed, Qin Chuan had also thought about it, but it was more reassuring to say it, no matter how you look at it, Huairen County is a worthless target, there are few people and little food, and there is a city to cover, it takes a certain amount of effort to fight down, but the harvest is not so big, and within a hundred miles from Huairen County, there are two guards and Datong Xiongcheng, attacking this small county town will not have any gain, and there is a risk of being attacked by other soldiers and horses on the flanks and rear, if you want to annihilate, Then you can go to the border pass and Datong, if you want to plunder, the surrounding area of Datong and further south Shanxi is richer, it is the ruined Huairen county town that is not even a chicken rib.

The Mongolian horse team must have some plan to move south in such a big way, whether it is from strategy or plunder, and no matter what point it is, it has nothing to do with Huairen County.

Thinking like this makes people feel a little relaxed, but this kind of mental relief will not make Zhu Da slack off in preparation, no matter how careful the logic is, no matter how accurate the analysis is, there will be a case, what Zhu Da has to do is to guard against this eventuality.

After returning to the compound where the family was stationed, Zhu Da frowned as soon as he entered the courtyard, the family members were busy performing their duties, some were preparing in line, some were preparing materials, and when they walked to the second entrance, they could see that the women, children, the old and the weak were also moving, but this well-organized scene did not make people feel at ease, Zhu Da saw panic and despair on everyone's faces, and there was anxiety that would collapse at any time under such a strong self-calm.....

"Everybody stop what they're doing, I have a few words to say." Zhu Da said loudly, he climbed up to a coal pile with vigorous movements, and the people around him came over when they heard that it was Zhu Da.

Everyone looked up at Zhu Da, and Zhu Da also looked at them, although they had not yet preached, just by seeing Zhu Da himself, everyone was much more settled.

"Some of your families are ruined, and you are the only one left, some of you are bankrupt, and the whole family will be frozen to death and starved to death, why did you come to such a situation, do you regret that you ran away at the beginning, if you fought hard with the Tartars, there would be no chance of life, would you rescue a few people?" Zhu Da shouted loudly, everyone's eyes widened, very few people really thought about it, most people would only think that it was a fluke to escape, but once they thought about it along this line of thought, regret would flood their hearts, and it would hurt their hearts, if they were braver at that time, wouldn't it be okay......

Even Zhu Da, who shouted these words, took a deep breath and kept calm, and he suddenly thought that if he and Zhou Qingyun rode down the mountain that day, would they be able to rescue a few people, and whether they would be able to rescue their parents and master, Zhu Da shook his head and didn't dare to think about it again.
