"My lord, I am a lowly and timid person, but I dare not defend Tokugawa Castle with my lords."

Wu Sang was silent for a while and said, Wu Sang is not willing to do this kind of life-threatening thing, since the new county guard wants to die himself, he will not accompany him.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, I don't force this matter, if Lord Wu doesn't want to stick to Tokugawa Castle with the official, the official won't stop it, let it be as you please."

Qin Dui said, since these people are unwilling to stay and guard Tokugawa Castle with him, Qin Dui will not force it, even if it is useless to force them, these people are probably also people who will run away immediately when they see that the situation is not right, they will only drag their own hind legs, and let them go.

"Thank you, Lord Gunjo, for your understanding."

Wu Sang said that everyone has their own ambitions, and since these people chose to stay in Tokugawa City and fight to the death with the Hun cavalry, then let them be, and they will not accompany them.

"Since you choose to evacuate Tokugawa Castle, you must leave Tokugawa Castle before dark today, otherwise no one will want to leave Tokugawa Castle after dark." Qin Du said.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, we'll leave Tokugawa Castle before dark."

Wu Sang said, there is no need for the county guard to drive his own people away, now it is possible that the Hun iron cavalry will go south to surround Tokugawa Castle at any time, Wu Sang and these people wish to leave Tokugawa Castle as soon as possible, many people have actually arranged for their families to be ready when they receive the secret report.

"Those who choose to leave Tokugawa-gun, quit the meeting now, go back to pack my package immediately, and leave Tokugawa Castle for me, as long as you leave Tokugawa Castle, it will be difficult to come in in the future." Qin Du said.

Wu Sang originally wanted to say a few words, but as soon as he thought that the Hun iron cavalry would immediately attack Tokugawa Castle, these people who were left behind. Soon he will become a dead man, so what is the point of worrying about him, so Wu Sang quietly left the conference hall with the people on his side.

"Write down the names and positions of the people who left the venue just now, and they won't want to enter Tokugawa Castle in the future."

Qin Dui said to the Foolish Dream who was sitting on the side, and the Foolish Dream was now Qin Dui's secretary and was eligible to participate in the military meeting. It's just that they don't have a voice, they just take notes.

"Very good, it seems that we still have a lot of warriors in Tokugawa Prefecture, and I can clearly tell you that it is definitely a wise choice for you to stay, just as I set out from the capital and came to the northwest on the way, many people thought that I could not come to Tokugawa Prefecture alive. But I came to Tokugawa-gun alive, not only did I come to Tokugawa-gun, but I also exterminated the rogue and horse thieves along the way, so you have to believe me, defending Tokugawa Castle is not as difficult as you imagined, and the enemy is not as powerful as you imagined. Qin Du looked at the people left behind and said.

"My lord, the lowly has fought against the iron horsemen of the lowly Huns. I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Hun Iron Cavalry is really strong, and we have to deal with it carefully. ”

Said a commander of Tokugawa Prefecture who had stayed. This commander was called Yonshoyu, a famous cavalry general in the Tokugawa army, and once led his 2,000 cavalry to retreat from the 5,000 cavalry of the Huns, with very few casualties.

"This is thanks to our garrison Lord Wu, so many years. The garrison of our Tokugawa Prefecture retreated without a fight, which made the Huns think that our army in Tokugawa Prefecture was not able to fight, and they would definitely look at us, which gave us a lot of opportunities to take advantage of, so this time we fought with the Huns. We have mental calculations and no intentions, and we will definitely win. ”

Qin Ducheng analyzed in his chest, he knew that although the few people present trusted him unconditionally, if they didn't give them a convincing explanation, I was afraid that even if they went to the battlefield, they would have doubts, after all, the balance of power was too far apart......

"My lord, how can you say that the Huns also have 100,000 iron cavalry, in addition to the 20,000 people of our original First Legion in Tokugawa City, there are also the troops of these adults left, I estimate that there are only 30,000 people, you must know that the combat effectiveness of the Hun iron cavalry is not comparable to that of rogues and horse thieves."

Shangguan Yonglun said that Shangguan Yonglun had seen the power of the Huns' iron horses, and they were much more powerful than the iron horses in his hands now.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, listen to my analysis, the purpose of this attack of the Huns is not to destroy our army, but to rob the grain, grass and livestock that are urgently needed in their own territory, so in the case of these 100,000 people, at least 20,000 must be taken out to complete their important tasks, so that their cavalry in the main battle is actually only about 80,000."

"None of this matters, the most important thing is that I am not prepared to fight the Hun Iron Cavalry outside the city, which is what they are good at, and what they want. I am ready to use the existing city defense facilities in Tokugawa Castle, and then seize the time to repair and improve, and we brought a large number of weapons, arrows, grain and grass and other logistics materials can just come in handy, if we can fully mobilize the current residents of the city, mobilize their enthusiasm, assist us in defending, plus the enemy this expedition, certainly did not expect to have a siege war with us, so it is estimated that the siege tools and equipment they carry are also insufficient, and the soldiers also lack the experience and psychological preparation of siege warfare, to sum up the above points, I'm sure we'll be able to thwart the enemy's attack, and then everyone will be heroes of the Empire, hehe. Qin Duan said optimistically.

Many people's original worries disappeared after Qin Dui's words, especially when Qin Dui mentioned the enemy's lack of siege facilities, many people's hearts suddenly became clear, yes, the enemy is mainly cavalry, and in addition to the lack of siege facilities, their side has every hope of winning this battle.

After unifying the understanding, the pro-soldiers came in to report that there was a great chaos in the city, and the residents were packing up their things and preparing to flee.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Qin Duan immediately issued an order: "Li Daring! ”

"Here!"

"Order to immediately lead your second brigade to guard the vicinity of the city gate, only to go out, not to enter, to prevent the Hun spies from infiltrating the city."

"Yes!"

"Pear Blossom!"

"Here!"

"I order you to immediately lead ten wings of the Third Brigade, divided into twenty hundred-man teams, to patrol the city, and do a good job of persuading the citizens.

"Yes!"

The second general immediately took the order and left, Qin Duan had already regained his calm, but when he gave the order, he exuded a cold and fanatical light. Liang Qiming, who was standing on the side, saw this scene in his eyes, and while admiring Qin Duan's decisiveness, he also showed the light in Qin Duan's eyes, and he couldn't help but be startled.

"Alright, now, it's time for you and me to visit the two important people." Qin Du said

"Adults mean the Xu and Zhao families?"

"Haha, sure enough, the hero sees it the same!" Qin Duan laughed.

The Xu family is a big family in Tokugawa County, mainly engaged in ceramics, while the Zhao family is another family, mainly engaged in livestock and agricultural trade, both of which are quite famous in Tokugawa Castle, and the power is not small, and more importantly, in the past few years of the invasion of the Luopei people, many high-ranking families have left their families, and although these two families have also moved away most of the industry, but people have always stayed in Tokugawa Castle most of the time, so the common people in Tokugawa County are very prestigious.

Qin Du had heard about these two before he entered Tokugawa County, and he wanted to visit them when he was free, but he didn't expect the shape to change so quickly that he had to meet the two of them in this situation.

Thinking of this, Qin Duan couldn't help but smile bitterly, in this case, if you want to convince the two merchant families, in addition to testing your eloquence, I am afraid you will also have to look at the two of them as "unique vision, caring for the land and profit".

When Qin Du and Liang Qiming came to the Zhao family in the north of the city under the escort of the guards, although everyone here was also busy cleaning up, they seemed very calm, and it seemed that the owner of the house had been prepared for this kind of situation.

When Qin Duan explained that he wanted to see the master of the Zhao family, the housekeeper who received him said that the master was not empty, and it was difficult to receive him at this time. At Qin Dui's repeated requests, it was said that the new Tokugawa County warden came to visit, and it was up to the master to decide whether to see or not, and the housekeeper impatiently agreed, and it seemed that the former Tokugawa County warden was very unpopular.

Soon, the butler replied, and was much more respectful, and led the two to a ordinary-looking reception room, where one was already waiting.

Qin Duan first looked at this reception room, although this room looks ordinary, but if you look closely, you can see the extraordinary, the floor is made of quite exquisite oak, a few exquisite sandalwood Taishi chairs are from the hands of famous artists, the whole room exudes a faint fragrance, and a simple splash of ink on the front wall, Liang Qiming recognized at a glance that it is the masterpiece of Xie Jin, a contemporary genius.

The person in the house originally had his back to the door, as if he was appreciating the ink treasure hanging on the wall, after Qin Dui and Liang Qiming arrived, the man turned his head, a very mediocre thin face was wrinkled, and a lock of goatee under his chin, it was difficult for people to feel that there was anything strange about this person, but Qin Duan didn't see it that way, people can't look good, the sea can't fight, this sentence will never go out of style, it is not easy to lead a family to stand firm in this troubled era, especially in Tokugawa, a place where soldiers are in turmoil, and it can withstand wind and rain and stand still, It speaks to the weight of the person in front of him.

"The two adults have arrived, and they have missed the distance, please forgive me." While greeting people warmly, they invited the two to sit down.

"I don't know that Lord County Shou is coming, and Zhao's subordinates have offended, please forgive me. However, it is indeed unfortunate that Lord Qin came, and I am afraid that my lord also knows the movements of the Hun Iron Cavalry, and I believe that it will not be long before the troops of the Luobei people will step into the Tokugawa Prefecture Castle Li. ”

The master quietly pointed out the current situation, but he didn't ask Qin Du and the others about their intentions, which shows that this person is very sophisticated, and he is definitely a difficult person to deal with. (To be continued......)
