Chapter 176: The Choice of Path

"Rina Asai?" After listening to Asai Zuohe's words with some emotion, Chen Xiaochu fell into a deep thought: "Actually abandoned her own base, what is this going to do, isn't it normal to fight to the end with the invaders in a normal situation, unless she can get a greater benefit than her own territory, there is a reason for her to do this." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ruled by the ever-changing daimyo, the surrounding villages were numb, and whenever they saw a familiar samurai, they immediately made a life-saving move, kneeling on the ground, and giving everything they had.

"It seems that I have substituted Huaxia's habitual thinking into these people, since I came to this world, I have always thought that as long as it is a replicant transmitted by the seed of civilization, it will always be held and protected by their teleporter, and I have not thought about what will happen to the replicant who has changed the ruler several times." Chen Xiaochu looked at those Dongying civilians who didn't dare to come out and thought.

"I'll give you a chance to live." Chen Xiaochu walked to a raised dirt slope and said loudly to the Dongying civilians in front of him, "As long as the people who are willing to help us can live." ”

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of many Dongying civilians, and all of them involuntarily raised their heads and looked in the direction of Chen Xiaochu.

"I am Chen Xiaochu of the Chinese civilization, a person from the Northern Continent." Chen Xiaochu looked at the crowd that slowly gathered, and continued with satisfaction: "Although I am not from Dongying, I hope that no one from Dongying will be taken to the north to cause killings in the future, this is not what we both want to continue to see, therefore, I will satisfy your desire to let your family live." ”

"War, often brings misfortune, and you are the most direct embodiment of the victims, the reason why I am recruiting here is precisely because I want to end this war as soon as possible, therefore, what I need is someone who dares to sacrifice his life, you all have the bonds of your family, and you have an inseparable attachment to life, so you are not suitable for the battlefield, so I have prepared another way for you."

"Just east of Izumo Castle, there is another military camp, which also belongs to me, as long as you help me to strengthen the barracks, cut down wood and transport stones, I will allow you to stay nearby, and will also give you enough rice according to your labor, today is the first day, those who are willing to work, please stand up and pack your things."

Chen Xiaochu's words were very simple, but his straightforward words touched people's hearts the most, especially after hearing the promise of being willing to give rice grain, many people opened their eyes wide, and then began to excitedly pack up the simple belongings shipped from the village.

A method similar to cash-for-work is the only solution Chen Xiaochu can think of. Giving rice and grain directly will only make the residents of the city start to feel unstable.

From today onwards, when the displaced people come to take refuge, those who do not meet the recruitment conditions will be assigned to the teleportation camp to build a camp, and those who are qualified will be sent to the south gate, as long as this method is used within three days, the possibility of the displaced people's riot can be temporarily alleviated.

"Asai Sawa, send your people to guide these civilians, and I will let the sergeants of the state army show you the way." Chen Xiaochu said to Asai Sawa beside him.

"Yes, my lord, we'll do it right away." After hearing Chen Xiaochu's command, Asai Sawa immediately began to order the cavalry team to maintain order, and then guided the displaced people to slowly move in the direction of the east gate.

Turning over and getting on his horse, Chen Xiaochu felt a little satisfied with his solution to this problem, "I have occupied the inner city, and I have already made Carol have scruples about me, and it is estimated that it is impossible to exchange the garrison of the Han army for cavalry, so I can only strengthen the camp where I teleported, and leave a way for myself to retreat at the ferry in Izumo City." ”

"Adults seem to be very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, could it be that they have had similar experiences before?" Just as Chen Xiaochu was looking at the migration of the displaced people and thinking, Emily behind him spoke.

"Not really." Chen Xiaochu shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "I used to be just an ordinary person, the experience taught to me by a general named Liao Hua, do you know, Emily, in the history of our Chinese people, we have actually encountered many natural disasters and military disasters, although it is not a good thing, but in dealing with this experience, they are very good at it." ”

Emily nodded, although it has only been a few days since she joined Chen Xiaochu's camp, but Chen Xiaochu's actions have begun to affect her thinking, "Maybe this is what a ruler really looks like, whether it is France or England, there is no shortage of natural disasters and military disasters, but many rulers know how to do it, and whether they are willing to do it, it is two situations, saint, there will be no mistake in making an alliance with such a person." ”

Following Chen Xiaochu into the newly built camp, watching the newly recruited soldiers wearing armor and eating on the side, Emily found that Chen Xiaochu's face did not completely improve, and there was still a trace of sadness, so she said, "My lord, are you worried about something?" ”

Chen Xiaochu came to the stable, turned over and dismounted, and handed the horses to the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army to take care of, "It's nothing, it's just that Zhao Yun can't make mistakes in doing things, according to the time, Genmen Jiro should have arrived here soon, these newly recruited soldiers are still waiting for him to appear, before they can officially become an army." ”

"Is that the boy?" Emily followed Chen Xiaochu's footsteps and walked towards the school field of the camp, and her mind came to mind the desperate Dongying boy in the battle in Xiaojia Town.

"Emily, you said about the situation in the southern continent, if you want to go straight to the cliff fortress, I need to overcome these problems step by step, the first step is Izumo City, I have successfully occupied this place, and now I have to face the second step, which way to go."

"There are two roads from Izumo Castle to Cliff Castle, one of which follows the coast and passes through at least five of the territories of the rulers of England, during which the chances of a battle are very high. The other is to go deep into the hinterland of Dongying, and then enter the border between England and Dongying's sphere of influence, which is what you call the Crow Mountains, and break through the checkpoints there, and you only need to pass through the sphere of influence of three civilized rulers in total to reach the Cliff Castle. ”

"You're suggesting I take the second path, right?" Chen Xiaochu walked up to a small and simple high platform, looked at some of the Dongying soldiers gathered and said to Emily.

"It is true, the cliff fort is located on the extension of the Crow Mountains, and because of the truce between the East and England, and the joint expedition of both sides, there are no more enemy troops to defend the East Ying Pass where the Crow Mountains block our advance, of course, I mean that there is no English army that has no focus on defending that direction." Emily explained immediately.

"I hope this path is not wrong, after all, in terms of time, I am only allowed to go once, and if I fail, my end will be total annihilation." Chen Xiaochu's hand holding the saber tightened, from the moment he took Izumo City and forced Carol to attack the coastal English towns, the expeditionary force of the southern continent had the possibility of returning to the army, especially the army of the Dongying people, if he could not overthrow the dominance of the English people in the southern continent and support a French army before the expeditionary force returned, all the efforts would be in vain, and time was very urgent.
