Chapter 252: Recruiting Talents
Although these craftsmen were ordinary people, they were very shrewd, and when they heard this, they immediately asked, "What does this mean, Your Excellency, Envoy?" ”
Su Yi said: "Don't worry, you are all talents from all walks of life, and I will let my subordinates protect your safety along the way." ”
One of the stonemasons asked, "My lord, do you have to take us somewhere else?" ”
"To tell the truth, it is a pity to deign to be in the city with your skills, and spend your life in mediocrity, carpenters and stonemasons are of great use, especially in troubled times, you are all strategic reserve talents, of course, you may not be able to understand what I say, but you just need to know, I value your ability more than others."
Su Yi continued: "Strengthening the city wall is inseparable from stonemasons, defending the city is inseparable from the production of weapons, and the construction of houses is also inseparable from carpenters, tailors and protective gear dealers are equally important, and your role in a force is not necessarily weaker than that of ordinary soldiers. I can hire any of you, including your apprentices, if you wish. ”
"Is this true, Your Excellency?" The stonemason's eyes lit up when he had questioned earlier.
At present, there is a great chaos in Youzhou, if these craftsmen do not take refuge in one party's forces, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the troubled times, since Su Yi values them so much, as long as the remuneration he offers is reasonable, these people may not be able to do things for him.
Su Yi said: "Naturally true, I will take you away this time, if you are willing to stay under my staff, I will escort you and your family to my city, arrange soldiers to ensure your safety, and give you ten taels of silver every month, the remuneration of your disciples, I will depend on their ability, after three years, you can stay at your own choice." ”
The stonemason was the first to say, "I am willing to serve the envoy!" ”
This person is clear-minded and knows that in troubled times, the most important thing is to be able to keep themselves safe. However, this is not easy, how many rich people are ruined in the troubled times. What's more, it's a small people like them.
Only by taking refuge in one force, their families can be preserved in the troubled times, before they hid in Wuyuan County, although they have their own industries in the city, but these industries in the case of life safety can not be effectively guaranteed, it is likely to be wiped out overnight, which makes them live in fear every day, the man in front of him is brave, and even can kill Jin Chaoqun's six thousand guards The defeat wants to come to him. You don't have to worry about the safety of yourself and your family.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as him, of course, there are some craftsmen who are a little hesitant and dare not rashly decide to join Su Yi, but now that they are being coerced out of the city by Su Yi, they can only take one step at a time.
In the woods outside Wuyuan County, several ragged men looked embarrassed, these people were covered in blood, and the first black man with a smeared face stared at the direction in which Su Yi's army was leaving. Said viciously: "Gu Dayong...... Lao Tzu will never let you go! ”
The man wiped the black paint on his face, revealing a hideous face, and a hint of resentment flashed in his small eyes. He was followed by several men, one of whom was Li Liang, the steward of the Jin Mansion.
Jin Chaoqun asked Li Liang viciously, "Has my family escaped from the city?" ”
Li Liang hurriedly said: "I have arranged for someone to escort them out of the city before. The dogs are responsible for their safety, don't worry, the lord is just ......"
Jin Chaoqun was anxious in his heart, and interrupted impatiently: "Just what? ”
"It's just that the lady was murdered by thieves when she went out of the city. The old slave was ashamed. Li Liang said with a guilty face.
Jin Chaoqun said unconcernedly: "That old woman is dead, let me ask you, are my concubines safe and sound?" ”
Li Liang said: "Please forgive me." The old slave only rescued the second lady and the sixth lady, and the other ladies ......" Speaking of this, Li Liang's voice choked, Jin Chaoqun stood in front of him in a daze, and then slapped it.
A roar rang out in the woods outside the city: "Dog thing! Rubbish! Lao Tzu sucks you dog slave to death, waste, get out! Get out of here! ”
Su Yi went down the mountain this time, the loss was not small, there are less than two hundred people left of the eight hundred wrestlers of the high black tiger, the conditions for the selection of these wrestlers are strict, after the training of the high black tiger on weekdays, all of them are fierce warriors who are not afraid of death, such a large casualty makes Su Yi's heart begin to bleed.
In addition to the heavy casualties of the wrestlers, the sword and shield soldiers brought down the mountain by Su Yi also suffered a lot of casualties, this elite army of a hundred battles has now been beaten into an organization, their leader Li Goudan was even wounded, and the leaders of several sword and shield soldiers were all killed on the battlefield. On the contrary, due to the strong power of the cavalry that came down the mountain with the Scar belt, the losses were not large.
The losses of their own troops were heavy, and the situation on Cheng Lin's side was not much better, there were few slaves left in Cheng Jiazhuang's carefully selected slaves, and along the way, Cheng Lin's women's army also suffered countless casualties, and even many people were missing halfway.
Youzhou is so chaotic, what will happen to these lost girls, Su Yi can think of it with his toes, but Su Yi can't ease the speed of the march because of those girls.
"Miss Cheng!" After Su Yi calmed down the craftsmen, he said to Cheng Lin beside him: "Miss Cheng, at the moment, more than half of your and my subordinates have been killed or wounded, and I have taken back so many people from Wuyuan County, can you send these people back to the cottage with me first, and then I will arrange for people to send you back to Hongyu Villa." ”
"No problem." Cheng Lin said: "You guy has captured so many people, now you should go back to the cottage as soon as possible, and when we return to the Peach Blossom Village, you will personally send me back to Hongyu Villa!" ”
Su Yi: "......"
Cheng Lin glared and said, "What?" Questions? ”
Su Yi shook his head with a smile, and suddenly said softly, "Thank you." ”
Cheng Lin's face turned red, and she was a little at a loss and said, "Thank you...... What do you thank me? Be all abroad. After speaking, she stomped her foot in annoyance and walked to the side angrily, Su Yi looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.
The most important thing at the moment is to rush back to the cottage as soon as possible, Su Yi took so many people and loaded so many belongings, and he will definitely be targeted by some homeless people and bandits along the way. If there were only cottage bandits in the team, it would be fine, but now with tens of thousands of people, all the way over, these people have no discipline at all, in order to maintain their order, Su Yi had to slow down the march.
Because of this, some of the fallen women's soldiers and subordinates were also able to catch up with the team.
Su Yi looked at the direction of the Zongheng Mountain Range and muttered: "I hope that before entering the mountain, Lu Feng can appear in time with 10,000 cavalry, otherwise, once you enter the Zongheng Mountain Range and encounter those ferocious rogues, such a team will definitely not be able to go far."
