Chapter Fifty-Eight: Success or Failure in One Fell Swoop
As soon as the sky was bright, the gourd valley was already wide open, and a team of people drove out and headed into the distance.
Hao Jian stood on the wall, looking at their backs expectantly for a long time, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, hoping that they could bring back good news.
"The Tartars are cruel, we can only do our best, how many people we can save depends on the will of God, and the general is not too concerned." Liu Ji looked at Hao Jian's appearance and said with relief.
"Strategist, I asked the cavalry team to escort the villagers of Guanjiatun to Shili and Eight Townships to inform the people of each village and village, hoping that they can enter the Hulu Valley in time to take refuge, not only to save them, but also to save us. The key to whether or not we can survive this crisis this time lies in these people. Hao Jian came slowly.
Liu Ji was confused when he heard this, could it be that this wanted to use these people as soldiers to temporarily fight against the Tartars?
But it seems that this is not the master who uses the people as cannon fodder.
"Liu Ji is puzzled, and asks the general to make it clear."
"Strategist, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you'll understand it in a few days. There are some things that I can't explain to you for the time being, and I will naturally explain them to you when the time comes. Hao Jian put an end to the topic.
Liu Ji didn't ask anymore.
Yesterday, he invited Guan Hu from Guanjiatun and Guan Sanye, the village elder, for this matter.
He told the two men that the Tartars had plagued the backers a few days ago and were now attacking again, and that the Tartars might attack Datong City.
Moreover, this time the Tartars are menacing, with thousands of troops, so I am very worried that the people of the villages near Datong will suffer from the scourge of the Tartars.
Hearing the news, Guan Sanye, an old man who had gray hair but was still an impatient man, stood up at once and begged Hao Jian not to sit idly by and watch the Tartars harm the people, and to send troops to stop the Tartars. They were deeply affected by the Tartars, and those tragic scenes were still lingering in front of Guan Sanye's eyes, of course he knew what would happen to these people if they really encountered the Tartars.
People have the same heart and the same reason, and those who have experienced it understand the ferocity of the tartar better.
Guan Hu's face was excited, he thought of the tragic death of his wife and the villagers in Tunzi, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Hao Jian said that of course he would not sit idly by and watch the Tartars plague the people, but his troops were limited, and under the premise of defending the Hulu Valley, there were not many men and horses who could fight the Tartars.
Once all the troops are brought out to fight the Tartars, then the gourd valley is in danger.
So he was also in a dilemma, so he invited the two to discuss countermeasures.
The two of them calmed down when they heard this, this is indeed the case, they can't be brutal, Lord Hao can shelter them Now it is not easy for these people.
Hao Jian saw that the two of them were cold, and after a deep sigh, he said that there was actually another way, but he needed the help of the two of them.
When the two of them heard that there was a way, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked what the way was.
Hao Jian said that it was to bring these people to Hulu Valley, so that the problem would be solved. But there are also difficulties in this matter, after all, those people don't know us, and if there are no familiar people to go with, I'm afraid the villagers won't believe it. And this time the matter is urgent, and the people who are going to come must enter the gourd valley within three days, or else they will be plagued by the tartars.
Guan Sanye immediately said that he followed the team, and he knew the old brothers in these tunzi around him, and many of their daughters in Tunzi married to other tunzi, and many men in their tunzi married people from other tunzi, and each tunzi married each other and knew people.
So he was willing to go and promised to persuade the people of Tunzi to come to Hulu Valley together.
He also said that he would go back and mobilize other men to follow the team to persuade the villagers of the various tunzi.
Guan Hu also said that he followed the team, and only one horse was needed.
Hao Jian immediately agreed, let them go back to settle down, and arrange the people who went with them.
And on the same day, he sent someone to recall the cavalry team that was cruising outside, but Ran Wu took the scout team to the wild boar slope that Liu Ji said to detect the terrain.
So there's the scene just now.
In fact, after people spread out, Hao Jian was not too optimistic. After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, especially the people of China, how can the homeland that has been lived in for generations be said to be separated.
Even if many people have heard of the cruelty of the Tartars, they all have a fluke mentality, thinking that the Tartars may not necessarily come to harm their own tunzi, so Hao Jian may not believe it even if he sends someone to the house.
This is also the reason why he asked Guan Sanye and them to go together, because they are all ordinary people, they have people who know each other well, and they naturally have a common language. And more importantly, the people of Guanjiatun have fresh and cruel memories, and they show up to say that these tragic events that do not need to be exaggerated can make the people of other tunzi feel the ferocity of Tartar emotionally.
Moreover, Hao Jian said that the matter of this Tartar invasion was very serious, and through the mouths of Guan Sanye and others, it should make these people have a greater sense of urgency and crisis.
In this way, the possibility of these people coming is greatly increased, but it is difficult to say how many people Hao Jian can come. After all, it is not easy to help the old and the young to move, and it is not easy to travel long distances.
Although Hao Jian has repeatedly emphasized that there will be all kinds of objects after coming, and everyone only needs to bring valuables, but these simple and accustomed people must be reluctant to throw them away, and they are reluctant to give them up, so there will definitely be a lot of burdens and slow down the speed of travel.
But he can't care so much now, he just wants as many people as possible.
With more people, he will have the possibility of expanding his army. These people will not only bring him an increase in the total population, but also more honors, which Hao Jian has already verified.
Honor is not only obtained through every combat operation, but also through various training and training on weekdays, the management and placement of the people, and the handling of daily government affairs.
In the past few days, the honor value he had last time due to the expansion of the army was about to be exhausted had increased to nearly a thousand points.
As long as there is another group of people, even if there are as many as a thousand people, Hao Jian can give him the confidence to fight with the Tartars on the Boar Slope.
Success or failure is here, everything that needs to be done is done, and the rest is left to God. I hope that the sky has eyes, pity these suffering people, and pity myself, a newcomer, and don't let myself end the journey early.
After standing on the walled wall for a long time, Hao Jian set off to go down, and there were still many things to deal with.
