No matter life or death, no matter how many emotions are felt, after being tired to a certain point, you will only fall asleep.

Zhu Da didn't know how long he had been asleep, he remembered that it was past noon the day before he fell asleep, but he could see through the gap in the windproof tarpaulin, it seemed to be the afternoon sky.

"Qingyun ......" Zhu Da subconsciously shouted when he turned over and sat up, and then stopped, he often asked Zhou Qingyun to replace him when he rested, but now he is no longer there.

Zhu Da sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his hand on his face a few times, and then lifted the curtain and walked out, the light of the setting sun was equally dazzling, so he couldn't help but cover it.

Before coming out, he could hear the noise of the city, but after he came out, it was extremely quiet, Zhu Da was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously nervous and vigilant, and at the moment when he reacted, cheers suddenly broke out from the city.

"Master, well done!"

"Master Zhu is a big hero!"

"Master Zhu is really amazing!"

Those who could shout these words were often the leaders of the errand and the gentry of the upper city, while Zhu Da's family members and young errands only knew the word "master", and they only shouted excitedly, as if only in this way could they vent their emotions in their hearts.

"The lord is mighty, the lord is victorious!" After this sentence was shouted, everyone knew what to shout, and Zhu Da clearly heard that it was Fu Yu shouting.

Everyone shouted along, and at first they shouted all these two sentences, and then only shouted the word "Wansheng", and even the city shouted.

Zhu Da was completely awake at this time, he looked around a little blankly, the outside of the city was empty, although the snow field was trampled by the cavalry was no longer snow-white, but the ruins of the grange were still very conspicuous, and there were people moving at the same time, it seemed that the city gate had not been opened.

"You're finally awake, you've slept more than a day and a night." Amidst the cheers, Qin Juren Qin Chuan hurried over and was relieved to see Zhu Da.

As soon as Qin Chuan arrived, he grabbed Zhu Da's shoulder, stared at him carefully, and only patted him heavily after a moment and said, "If it weren't for your steady breathing, I would have thought you would have slept to death." ”

People who are exhausted to the extreme will fall asleep, but there are also people who are exhausted beyond the extreme, the lamp runs out, and they never wake up after falling asleep, Zhu Da's body is exhausted from the camp overnight, and the great compassion of dying in battle may be exhausted, no wonder Qin Chuan is so worried.

In fact, those people in the city may have similar worries, so when Juda woke up and appeared in front of and behind people, there was such cheering.

"Father-in-law, I'm fine." Zhu Da nodded to Qin Chuan, got rid of the other party's arms, and walked to the battlement, the cheers continued, Zhu Da raised his hand with his back to the crowd and waved a few times, with him as the center, the silence quickly spread, and the city soon became quiet, only the city was still noisy.

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong were both near the head of the city, knowing that Zhu Da was also in a hurry after waking up, and consciously stood behind him and stood by.

"Has the Tartar army gone far?"

"I should have walked far away, I can't hear any movement anymore, even if there is still hiding near the left, it must be on the road three hours away."

"According to the routine of the official army, how long will it take to get out of the city?"

"At least one day and one night, we have to wait for the Tartars to go far away before we can pretend to pursue, we have to chase them to the border pass and stop for a few days before turning back, and then sweep everywhere, saying that they will destroy the remnants of the enemy."

Wang Xiong's "sweeping" is the same as the meaning of the word in Zhu Da's life, and Zhu Da can also understand the excuse of destroying the remnants of the enemy and the corresponding action, which is no different from the situation of the disaster in Baibao Village, and makes a fortune by pursuing the enemy and killing and looting the people.

"At that time, we must also guard to the death, and the officers and troops may not be stronger than the Tartars!" Zhu Da sneered and commented, then turned around and said, "The captains of this city wall are here!" ”

Not long after finishing speaking, Ji Xiaodong and Wang Jing also ran here quickly, Zhu Da turned around, whether it was Wang Hu and Wang Xiong who were the head of the sect, or Ji Xiaodong and Wang Jing, who were the leaders of the family, there was only strong excitement and relaxation on their faces, and there was no sadness and emotion, "Relatives or Yu Sad, others have also sang", that's what he said.

"Immediately send an order to the head of the city and the messengers, and each family member will levy three young men in the city, and immediately go out of the city to clean up the battlefield."

"Master, it doesn't take so many people to collect Master Zhou's corpse."

"It's just one thing, there must be something in the ruins of the grange that hasn't been burned, those are good things, we must move into the city as soon as possible, this is what we have to do in the next few days, we can't delay!"

The person who persuaded was Wang Hu, and Ji Xiaodong and Wang Jing immediately turned around and ran out after Zhu Da finished speaking, and began to convey Zhu Da's orders to the outside, while Wang Xiong smiled and began to ask Zhu Da about the specific arrangements.

The first to assemble went down the rope to the city, the followers went to open the blocked gates, the laborers who went to clean the battlefield were to be closely monitored by the servants and messengers, and they were not allowed to hide their goods, and the cleaning team to the grange was to keep an eye on the banner at the head of the city, and as soon as the warning was given, they rushed back.

Observe the distance around the city, even if there is a cavalry suddenly approaching, the people who go to the Grange to clean the battlefield can return to the city in time, and then it will be too late to block the city gate and defend it, and the big animals in the city must move, do not take the cart, otherwise it will delay time.

Wang Xiong observed Zhu Da as he spoke, and began to speak very slowly, seeing Zhu Da's calm and thoughtful answer, he also spoke faster and faster, and soon arranged the plan to go out of the city.

It's getting faster and faster, and it's getting faster and faster in the city, everyone is shouting and talking, and everyone is running and doing things.

Such passion and efficiency made Zhu Da a little stunned, before falling asleep, he was just a direct family member and a young poor person, and now it looks like this in the entire Huairen County.

I could see that Fu Yu and Meng Tian found the team leader and messenger in the city to explain, and then those people hurriedly went to prepare again, no one delayed, they were all scrambling.

"Brother Zhu, the people of the Li family's caravan also want to help, and they are willing to use cattle, horses, and manpower to go out of the city to help." This is Chang Kai coming to ask.

After Zhu Da's permission, Chang Kai also hurried over to arrange, and it didn't take long for the banner provoked by the long pole to be unfurled at the head of the city, and there was also a shouting and shouting movement under the city, Zhu Da couldn't help but be curious and walked to the inside of the city wall to watch, but saw that the urn city was in full swing, and many people were carrying the earth and stones blocked in the city gate.

Originally, many ordinary men were busy, but I don't know who found Zhu Da overlooking, and even several poor leaders who were overlooking the overseers on the side rolled up their sleeves and joined in.

Not to mention that the ropes had been thrown from the battlements of the city wall, and there were also people carrying baskets up to the city, and they were marching in line to shout and prepare to go down the city.

“...... Staring at this banner, if one flag becomes two flags, no matter what valuable business you find, gather, count the number of people, and then run back......" Wang Hu shouted over there, and everyone listened carefully.

Looking at Zhu Da with a little surprise, Wang Xiong, who was beside him, explained with a smile: "On this day and night, the officials and the people are preaching the power and merits of the proprietor, and everyone knows that the proprietor saved the whole city, so they are all grateful and full of energy. ”

"Except for a few who can believe it, who else will believe in the Tartar siege?" Zhu Da asked rhetorically, for the people in Huairen City, the Mongol army has never attacked the city, and the logic he said on the night of the attack on the camp is really not understandable to everyone, and the people do not feel the danger or feel rescued, so how can they be grateful.

"It's not difficult to explain, the proprietor of a character like you will not take risks at will, you can risk death in the middle of the night to get out of the city, there must be a last resort, everyone else doesn't believe it, but since the proprietor you came to Huairen, you haven't made a mistake, this guy knows, so to say, everyone is afraid, everyone is a bodhisattva." Wang Xiong continued.

Zhu Da nodded, this logic makes sense, but this Shien's routine is more straightforward, he looked at Wang Xiong with a smile and said, "Xiongjiaotou, you came up with this idea?" ”

"Male Sect Leader? It's not going to be confused. Wang Xiong was stunned by this title, then shook his head and said with a smile: "It's the arrangement of Master Qin, he said that he would say it if he did it, and if he said it a few days later, I am afraid that no one will recognize it." ”

Zhu Da nodded, watching the family members take the lead down the rope to the city, and the others enthusiastically followed, he was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, there are few people who are grateful, everyone is afraid of us, afraid to the bone!" ”

Wang Xiong was silent, thousands of Tartars outside the city were guarding the camp, all of them were fierce gods and evil people riding horses and opening bows, and there were tens of thousands of troops wandering around the left, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the West Road and Datong City never came forward, such a strong enemy, Zhu Da actually dared to lead more than 200 people out of the city to raid, and also destroyed the camp of the Tartars, and brought so many heads back, the Tartars are all wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, etc., so how fierce is Zhu Da who went out of the city to kill them, such a fierce thing in the small county town of Huairen, who dares not to be afraid?

At this time, I think back to the past when the two families were wiped out a few months ago, and I felt that it was already murderous, but now I see that it was just a small test.

"It is human nature to be afraid of power but not to be virtuous." Wang Xiong echoed two sentences, and he also agreed with this.

Zhu Da turned his head to look at it, and said leisurely: "Xiongjiaotou has read a lot, and he can use the dictionary at any time, but the children in the county may not be able to do it." ”

"Master of the proprietor, the generals raised by a big man like me are like this, and they must be both civil and military."

This is a blatant lie, but Zhu Da didn't bother to argue, watching many people climb down the rope to the city, and they had already hurried towards the Grange.

What's even more interesting is that there are more than 100 cows and horses and more than a dozen carts from the other side of the city turned around and joined the crowd, and those people in the city did not panic, without Wang Xiong's explanation, Zhu Da also knew that it was Xu Erzhu's group.

"These people are very clever, they stay in a village ten miles southeast of the city, and as soon as the Tartars leave, they return to the city with their cattle and horses, and let the city head throw them fodder and dry food, which is very bold and careful."

"Let them find more cattle and horses, there should be big cattle scattered outside, and what they catch is what they earn."

While the two were discussing, they heard a "creaking" sound under their feet, the filling of the city gate hole had been almost moved, the city gate had also been opened, and someone shouted to turn the winch on the city and put the drawbridge down.

Zhu Da did not continue to look outside the city, since everyone was full of energy, and the power of the great victory two days ago continued, he didn't need to keep an eye on himself, but he didn't prepare to go down the city, just walked to the inside of the city wall again, overlooking the scene in the county.

In the past ten days, Zhu Da has barely gone down the city, and when he ran around the four city walls, he just stared at the outside of the city, and he didn't care about the inside of the city.

Zhu Da quickly put away his emotions, he saw that there were many people in the city gathering in the open space under the city wall, and the officials were shouting and scolding, maintaining order.

The reason for such cooperation is that the city vigorously promotes Zhu Da's kindness on the one hand, and on the other hand, the heads of the people piled up in the open space under the city.

I don't know who presided over it, nearly a thousand heads were piled up into a sharp pile, everyone who was ready to go out of the city could see it, everyone who saw it was afraid and excited, so many heads were cut off, and there were few people who were not afraid, but when they thought that this was the head of the Tartar, everyone's thoughts were different, it has always been the Tartar who cut the head of the Han people, or the Tartar is not rare at all, and occasionally there are a few Tartar heads, and they have to wonder if this is a fake fake of the official army killing the people......

Think about this big bunch of real Tartar heads, on the one hand, I feel strong and proud, in Datong border town, who doesn't know the killing of Tartars, on the other hand, I feel incredible, there is a big victory, here is a big victory, but so many heads are the first time to see.

Think about it again, such a large number of heads are the handwriting of the old man Zhu in the city, who dares to have grievances, gratitude is one thing, Tartar is a murderous bluff in everyone's hearts, but such a murderous bluff was slaughtered by Master Zhu and said so, this Master Zhu spoke, who would dare to say "no".

In addition to the people who were requisitioned out of the city, there were many people who would not be requisitioned, either the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or some status.

In fact, there are no ordinary people who can really be at the front, either the leaders of the three classes and six rooms, or the gentry and the like, they look at Jingguan while secretly looking up at the condescending Zhu Da, and after seeing the indifferent Zhu Da, they always subconsciously smile and bow down.

There was a person crowded at the front, everyone was not very impatient with him, but he didn't speak ill of him, but this person was the old Chinese soldier of the Yang family, who had been confined in Qinchuan's house all the time, and was also released at this time.

At the height of the city wall, the city and the city could see each other clearly, and Zhu Da could see the old Chinese soldier's face full of shock and amazement, and he even leaned over to the pile of heads, reaching out to stroke the hair tangled together with the blood, and touching his lips and teeth.

"The civil and military yamen and the martial officials in the border town all know how to inspect the head, and the braids and teeth of the head of the Tartar are different from those of the people of the Ming Dynasty......" Wang Xiong explained a few words behind him, in fact, he didn't need to say it, Zhu Da already knew this.

What the old Chinese army was doing, many onlookers also had a general understanding, but they didn't feel surprised, they just whispered a few words, and those who knew the cause and effect of his coming to Huairen County were full of disdain.

It didn't take long for the old Chinese soldier to stand up straight with his waist thumped, and suddenly looked at the city with a feeling, just in line with Zhu Da's eyes.

Looking at each other, Yang Laozhongjun subconsciously took two steps back, and then reacted and stood firmly, and there was a snickering in the audience, the Yang family steward's face suddenly turned black, and then he shook his head, and when he looked at Zhu Da at the head of the city, he already had a sneer on his face, and turned his head and left.

This kind of reaction means a lot, Zhu Da's expression still doesn't change, Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed, looked at the back of the Yang family's steward and said, "Let them go back?" ”

Zhu Da didn't answer immediately, but just shifted his gaze to a person who was running over, and waited for the man to go up the steps before he said in a muffled voice, "Don't touch him." ”

Wang Xiong didn't argue about anything, just watched the guards didn't stop the person who ran up, and after the man went up to the city, he saw Zhu Da and quickened his pace to approach, Wang Xiong still remembered that this person was the leader of the caravan who entered the city before closing the city gate, but he didn't show up again after the Tartar army appeared.

It may be that running all the way, Li Yuan was already out of breath, and after coming to Zhu Da two steps in front of him, he hurriedly stopped, sorted out his robe and clothes before making a salute and said: "Brother Zhu is really an unborn hero, saving the people of the whole city in danger, no, the Tatars retreated so quickly, it is Brother Zhu's world-class meritorious service, Brother Zhu, you saved the Datong army and people north of Huairen!" ”

Because his breathing was not stable, he spoke in a hurry, coughed several times while speaking, and finished this set of words.

Anyone who listens to Li Yuan's words will think that it is too exaggerated, but it is also somewhat reasonable under careful study, the Mongolian army did speed up the retreat after passing Huairen, and in any case, all the cities and forts in Datong north of Huairen benefited from this.

Although the words were reasonable, they should not have come out of Li Yuan's mouth, but thinking that the caravan leader had not appeared in the more than ten days of defending the city, it was reasonable for him to say these words.

Li Dian is young after all, his face was flushed before the big bow, and his face was full of apprehension before he straightened up, he knew that his family's affection and etiquette were almost clean these days, and now he hurriedly came up, if Zhu Da sneered a few words or even did more, he could only be next to it, and he could only admit bad luck if he was humiliated.

"My own brother is still doing something like this, seeing the outside, seeing the outside." Zhu Da took two steps forward and hugged the person with a smile, although the smile was not very enthusiastic, but thinking of Zhu Da's experience and encounters in the past few days, it was already extremely kind to be able to give such a smile.

Zhu Da just supported Li Dian with his arms, and said very invisibly: "Brother Li, you are a foreigner, you have not been able to return home because of this disaster for many years, under the siege of the city, it is inevitable to be in a hurry, why bother to pay attention to etiquette with your own family, this is not to clean up the battlefield, let the caravan help!" ”

“...... It had been arranged, and except for the five old stewards, everyone else had gone out of the city with cattle and carts. Li Yuan subconsciously replied that he was unprepared for Zhu Da's reaction, and was a little stunned for a while.

Zhu Da nodded, let go of his arms, and said with concern: "In two days, we will know if the Tartars are really gone, you are also ready, when the city gate is opened, you will leave, and return to your hometown quickly, the officers and soldiers in the north are now like hungry wolves, and if they come up, they will be unlucky!" ”

"Brother Zhu is right, we should hurry up when the time comes, and we must be careful on the road, as long as we enter Shanxi, it will be easy to do, and the brother also knows a few official local figures." Li Gong hurriedly replied.

Then the two of them began to be polite, Li Cheng praised Zhu Da for his bravery, wisdom and bravery, so bold, so heroic, he could actually do such a big thing, and Zhu Da told Li Duan to prepare and hurry early, he had been delayed for so long, and he should be careful on the road.

Li Cheng also knew that there were a lot of things at this time, since Zhu Da didn't seem to have any mustard, there was no need for him to delay the other party for too long, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and said a few empty promises, such as selling and seizing for Zhu Da, and also promoting Zhu Da's martial arts and merits, etc., Li Jian couldn't offer any conditions, and the goods in his hand were strictly speaking Zhu Da gave him on credit.

When he walked to the steps of the lower city, Li Lou saw Zhu Da smiling and waving goodbye, he had to be polite again, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he was in a trance, he was almost ten years older than Zhu Da, but just now with this politeness, Zhu Da seems to be twenty years older than himself, and he is skilled and spicy......

Waiting for Li Zhuang, who was in a trance, to go down to the city, Chang Kai, who had just finished arranging to leave the city, approached, glanced at Li Lou's back with disdain, and said to Zhu Da indignantly: "There is no one who guards the city and goes out of the city, so this is a close flattery." ”

"Because he is a smart man, when he was defending the city, he thought that the Tartars were going to attack the city, and his father-in-law sent someone to preach that he could also figure out who broke the siege and saved everyone, so he was so in a hurry." Juda replied.

This explanation didn't explain it thoroughly, Chang Kai pondered for a moment before he roughly understood, Wang Xiong nodded immediately, a smart person who can consider the logic of cause and effect clearly, will deduce that the Mongolian army will attack Huairen City when it is evacuated, and naturally it will rationally deduce that Huairen City will be completely destroyed if it cannot be defended, in this case, there will only be despair of waiting for death, who will urge his subordinates to drink hard for the sake of future business and friendship, and slack and indifference are inevitable.

In the same way, smart people also know why they want to rob the camp, and they know what kind of chain reaction will occur after destroying the grain platform outside the city, but how to think from common sense, Huairen County, which does not have decent force, cannot destroy the Mongolian grain platform of nearly 2,000 cavalry outside the city, and then, Zhu Da did this impossible thing.

What kind of courage is this, how heroic is this, what a heroic character can achieve such a victory, and what kind of situation will be in the future, and smart people can also have a rough judgment.

Now that you have thought about this clearly, you can't care about what you are flattering about, and you can't care about your own face, how much you can save is how much, and looking to the future is the most realistic, if you are smart enough, you will think of it, and you will do it.

"He is a foreigner, and he has only done business with us two or three times, so you make people not afraid of life and death, give up everything, it is too demanding, and treat it as before!" Zhu Da said two more words, he said gently, but Chang Kai already knew how to deal with it, and he also knew how to convey Zhu Da's characterization.

Wang Xiong didn't ask too much, he just smiled, he is also a smart person who doesn't need to explain, after the Mongolian army withdrew, Huairen County will have to consider all aspects of agriculture and industry, Li Zhuang, a businessman who can do business, has friendships, and can also know Zhu Da's strength is not easy to find, it is better to be familiar than to be familiar.
