Soldiers can't be reasonable, so no matter what they say, whether it is those officials or squires, they all want to break the fortune and avoid disasters.

The county magistrate is a distant figure of the Oxford Yang family, because the main figure of the Oxford family did not help him speak, so he only fished a border Gaole County. Now it's okay for others not to speak, but as a county order, he can't do it if he doesn't speak: "General Chang, the lower officials think that they can just send away these barbarians, they are just a bunch of hungry thieves, and a little food will send them away." ”

"Barbarians have no faith, even if you give them food, they will not let you go! Yang County Order, don't forget that you are also an official of the imperial court, and you are also a child of the Oxford family! ”

"However, can General Chang guarantee victory? This government has to make plans for the people of the entire Gaole County! ”

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" walked up to a few squires, Chang He endured his anger, and said to these squires with the reason that Zhou Cong taught him,

"Several of them are big families in Gaole County, let me tell you the truth. What the barbarians want is indeed food, but do you think that the barbarians go to the homes of ordinary farmers one by one, or do they go directly to you big households?"

"General Chang, let me tell you the truth. A few of us also know that whether it is the destruction of the city after the resistance, or the initiative to send food to the barbarians, it is actually from a few of us. After all, the barbarians can't wait to find food from door to door. But what we are afraid of now is not the food, but the life of the whole family. ”

The ordinary people in the city have already collapsed a little - the news of the massacre of Gaonu County has spread all over the city, resistance? It seems that the barbarians are outnumbered this time, and the possibility of being slaughtered by the barbarians after defeat is very high. If they don't resist, will the barbarians keep their promises as long as the food doesn't hurt people?

The soldiers defending at the head of the city were also a little nervous, this was still Chang He left the soldiers from Gaonu County to Zhou Cong in advance, otherwise those soldiers from Gaonu County would not be crazy when they saw that their relatives were tortured and that they were not like ghosts.

Although they were not their own relatives, the scene in front of them still made the soldiers very excited, and a few of them couldn't stand the stimulation and were driven off the city wall by the commander.

At this time, Chang He didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and went directly to the gate of the county government to convene the people to speak:

"I declare in my capacity as the general of the county: Now that Gaole County has entered a state of war, all the officials and people of Gaole County will obey my military orders.

Everyone knows about the massacre in Gaonu County, and the barbarians are like beasts, without faith. For their own sake, they came to rob our Xia people, and they also killed our compatriots, insulted our sisters, and they imagined that under their butcher's knife, every Xia person was like a cow or sheep to be slaughtered by them.

Excuse me, will the beasts that are inferior to the beasts be honest with the cattle and sheep? They took away our food, how can we survive this winter? We gave them the food we lived in exchange for their untrustworthy promises, but let us be slaughtered like cattle and sheep, and we didn't live long? Will this work?

If everyone is still alone, instead of cattle and sheep, and picks up the weapons in their hands, and fights with the barbarians, they are just a group of robbers, and if they see that they have to pay the price of their lives for robbing our grain, they will be afraid of gains and losses, and they will consider whether it is worth exchanging their lives for food, and they will obediently return to the grassland to eat their cattle and sheep.

If we open the gates and give them food, it will only make them think that we are bullies, and it will make them gain an inch, and we will rob us of more of our property, even our wives, daughters and sisters. In the coming year, these barbarians will continue to come to our Gaole County to fight the autumn wind, and they will point to our people in Gaole County and say: See? That's what slaves are. ”

Seeing that the people had a reaction, Chang He continued his speech: "There are less than 10,000 ordinary people in Gaonu County, and they still have the courage to fight the barbarians, and we have 20,000 people in Gaole County, and 10,000 soldiers. Aren't we as brave as our compatriots in Gaonu County? If you are still a Xia person, you will pick up the weapons around you and avenge the compatriots in Gaonu County! ”

Someone in the crowd finally started to erupt: "Yes! Desperately with the barbarians! Will hungry wolves be honest with cattle and sheep? Who knows how much appetite he has! ”

"That's it. Zhou Changshi, a young man, such a sincere person, said that he collected 30% of the tax, and the low-level servants also charged me a few liters of millet. The barbarian is more cunning than the old treacherous, can you believe it? ”

"You're right. Compared to Zhou Changshi, Barbarian Da Shan Yu is simply a big liar! ”

"That's right! Barbarians are big liars! Can't believe it! Dozens of people chanted at the same time, infecting most of those present.

Seeing this, Chang He continued to strengthen: "Everyone must be clear. We are in charge of the county and give everyone tax reductions and exemptions, which is basically done. That barbarian Dashan Yu is like a fart when he speaks, and he runs to the territory of our Xia people every year to fight the autumn wind, how can such people believe it! ”

Looking around, I found that the people were all talking, and most of them were sure of Zhou Cong.

"Although Zhou Cong can't guarantee that he will never collect more, he has basically done it."

"That is, which of those officials in the past didn't have a mouth like an ass, and a mouth was a fart?"

"It's good for the official to do the circumference, so-so is basically in place, what else do we have to find fault with?"

"I think Zhou Changshi has done a good job. Which of these officials is not to make a fortune? Where can Zhou Changshi completely manage so many big and small old men in Shangjun? It's a great step to do that. ”

"I love to hear this, who else can you believe if you don't believe in the surname Zhou?"

Chang He took the opportunity to go further: "Don't you believe in the history of Zhou Chang? ”

"General Chang, we believe in the history of Zhou Chang. But you also have to get to the bottom of us, can you lead us to defeat the barbarians? ”

"Yes! Listen to me, everybody! Chang He returned to the middle of the stage and said loudly: "The barbarians have invaded our Shangjun on a large scale, and Shanzhou Jiedu has made Huang Shuhan and Huang Jieshuai already know about it, and he has already arrived with a large army. We just have to hold on for five days! Five days only! As long as Huang Jieshuai's army arrives, the barbarians will die and have no place to be buried! ”

"We are willing to obey General Chang's dispatch! Willing to obey General Chang's dispatch ......"

So they united as one and stuck to the city of Gaole without mentioning it.

After the people of Gaole City participated in the defense battle, the squires took the initiative to take out food and bury pots near the city wall to cook.

Chang He was naturally busy directing the battle - the barbarians found out that they had used the female captives of Gaonu County and attacked the city without movement for a long time.

Changhe's deputy, Fan Su, commanded the people to help transport supplies and repair ordnance under the city, and when he saw several big households cooking, he scolded in his heart: "Grass on the wall!" But he still walked forward and looked at a few big households without speaking.

When the big families saw Fan Duwei looking at him with a smile, the red on his face flashed, and he stepped forward: "Fan Duwei, this defense of the city is to have money and power to contribute, a few of us thought that we couldn't let the soldiers go hungry to defend the city, so we came to cook some food for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger." It's better to do a little bit...... You see......"

"It's rare that a few gentry still think about the brothers, the brothers are all rough people, and they can't say beautiful words, thank you."

"Where, where? We should thank the soldiers, because with the soldiers, the people of Gaole County were able to save their lives. ”

On the other hand, the county magistrates and officials of Gaole County also began to work one after another, spontaneously going to various places to maintain order. After all, it is their job to command the people of Gaole County, and they are most familiar with and understand the people and everything in Gaole County, whether it is Chang He, Fan Su, or officers at all levels, they all give orders through the officials of Gaole County.

As a result, the war potential of Gaole County was truly tapped.
