Outside the south gate of Izumo Castle, the prototype of a camp had already appeared, and after seeing Chen Xiaochu's arrival, the soldiers of the state army hurriedly began to disperse the crowd and make a way for Chen Xiaochu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Asai Zuohe was also busy on the side, recruiting troops was the top priority that Chen Xiaochu gave him, and it was also the key to his stable position, seeing the big Han period doorman who opened the way at the south gate, Asai Zuohe knew that Chen Xiaochu was coming, and hurriedly handed over the matter in his hand to his subordinates, and trotted all the way in the direction of Chen Xiaochu.

"Asai Sawa, what's going on now?" Chen Xiaochu rode a horse and drove out of the south gate, and immediately saw the figure of Asai Sawazu, so he asked with a smile.

"If you go back to your lordship, the number of people who have signed up has exceeded 300 people at present, and the number will increase after the horseback team from the nearby village is notified to return, but it is only ・・・・・・." Asai Sawa suddenly seemed to think of some difficult situation, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Looking at the Dongying people gathered outside the camp, and the ashigaru who was responsible for maintaining order on the scene, Chen Xiaochu asked strangely, "Why do you say half of what you say?" If you have anything to say, am I going to kill you for saying something wrong? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Asai Sawa hurriedly bowed his head and continued: "The recruitment is going well, but there are some other unexpected situations. ”

"Unexpected?" Chen Xiaochu looked at Asai Zuohe and glanced at a dense forest outside the city from time to time, and said strangely: "Didn't I make it clear to you all the conditions for recruiting soldiers?" Is it because the people who maintain the congregation are not in ruins? ”

On the periphery of the dense forest not far from the camp, a large number of civilians gathered, unlike those who came to accept recruitment, most of these people were old and weak, and there were a lot of women, all gathered on the periphery of the dense forest, looking like they were resting.

"I don't want to have only one child in the family, I don't want to let go of my worries, let alone bring so many family members, I want someone who can go to the battlefield and fight hard immediately." Chen Xiaochu glanced at the Dongying people who continued to sign up at the camp and said, "Asai Zuohe, if they dare to escape on the battlefield, I will enforce military law, and I will never ask for people who eat mixed rice." ”

The earthen stove inside the camp has begun to cook rice, and the fragrant smell of rice spreads in all directions with the breeze, making those Dongying civilians outside the camp swallow their saliva, which is also a direct means of recruitment, once qualified, they can eat immediately.

"My lord, we have been doing what you said, but these unqualified civilians have been refusing to leave, the number is still small, and we are still holding back, but we are afraid that after the horse team releases the news, more and more people will come, and we will not be able to maintain it, they are not civilians from Izumo City, they are just some mountain tribesmen, if there is a collective incident, our strength may not be able to suppress the scene." Asai Sawa said worriedly.

"Is it to grab food?" Chen Xiaochu suddenly understood that the villages that were destroyed by the Sanhan people last night, the people in those villages had become homeless, and they had lost their food storage according to their inertia to seek help from the daimyo, and the Dongying army that was still active in Izumo City gave them hope, but they didn't know that the ruler of Izumo City had already changed.

"Sure enough, it's caused by the trust of the Dongying army." Chen Xiaochu sighed, he had no reason to give an order to drive them away, and even if he wanted to drive them away now, it was too late, the Dongying civilians gathered in the dense forest were already close to more than a thousand people, even if they were separated by a distance, Chen Xiaochu could see that there were old people, children, and women among them, and the Dongying army that maintained the society could not do this kind of thing, even if the clone army was allowed to drive them away, the army he had just recruited would lose his military heart.

"Trouble." Chen Xiaochu didn't think that he had the ability to save all the Dongying people, these things that helped the people to buy the hearts of the people should have been done by Carol, but the main owner was not here, and he had to solve this problem.

The Samhan people have already begun to prepare to transport their own people to the south bank, and there will be more military operations to raid nearby villages in the future, and they will not stop until they take a few mountain fortresses as strongholds to obtain large quantities of grain.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Chen Xiaochu said to Asai Sawa, and then slowly walked towards the direction of the dense forest with the Great Han Period.

If the Sanhan people occupy Izumo Castle, it is estimated that those who can escape at this moment will avoid the city far away. Survival is human instinct, there are always tempting people appear, Chen Xiaochu's occupation method has not even changed the free entry and exit, which makes them feel the way to survive, especially the cooking of rice outside the south gate, which makes them think that this is prepared for their relief.

When they knew that this was recruitment, not relief, they inquired about the conditions for recruitment, but Chen Xiaochu's conditions for recruiting soldiers rejected most of them, which made many people feel hopeless, and if there was no food, they would starve to death.

When they were asleep, they were kicked out of their homes, and then everything they could eat was plundered, and this nightmarish memory did not expect to continue outside Izumo Castle, and they were tired and did not know where to live.

"Liu Chenglong, you are really fast, you have done so many villages in just one night." Chen Xiaochu looked at the Dongying civilians who were reluctant to leave and thought, after approaching the dense forest, he found that there were far more than a thousand people, "It can't be that the Bird City side is unwilling to accept the displaced people, why do they all go in the direction of Izumo City?" ”

Seeing the arrival of Chen Xiaochu and the others, there was a commotion on the outskirts of the dense forest, but when he saw the scene of Asai Zuo and a group of samurai opening the way, the commotion suddenly stopped.

Chen Xiaochu turned over and dismounted, approached those civilians, and saw almost all of them kneeling on the ground, all their heads bowed next to the ground, no one dared to make a sound, and several children's cries sounded, but they were immediately covered by their mothers, looking panicked.

"It was an accident." Chen Xiaochu asked Asai Sawazu, "What is your former big name, what do you seem to have done to the civilians of these nearby villages, why are they so afraid of you?" ”

When Asai Sawa heard Chen Xiaochu say this, he immediately said with some embarrassment: "My former lord is named Asai Rina, and he is the daughter of a samurai family, but he relies on the people of the Tachibana family, and he directly abandons those of us who are rooted in Izumo City. In fact, these tribesmen in front of them have been attacked and disturbed by many daimyos, conscripting soldiers, conscripting food, constantly changing rulers, the so-called troubled times, this is the normal behavior of saving lives.
