Chapter 68: Recruitment
After taking down Tu's shop, Huang Xian slept peacefully, and woke up refreshed in the morning.
After breakfast, Huang Xian inspected Tu's shop. Tujiapu is quite large, there are about 1,000 households, and the city walls are tall and sturdy in the east, west, north and south, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
What made him even happier was that there were mountains of grain in the warehouse, as well as countless pieces of cloth, gold and silver, and Huang Xian guessed that this might be an important base for Tuoba Xiong to store his belongings.
Huang Xian was very satisfied here, he immediately returned to Liujiabao and took Zhao Wanming to Tujiapu, and by the way, he asked Liu Yan for the two maids of Liujiabao.
Tujiapu is much better than Liujiapu, and Zhao Wanming is also very happy to come here.
Zhao Wanming has already received the news that his father recaptured Chilong Fort a few days ago, and his younger brother is also safe and sound, so he stayed in Tu's shop to recuperate from his injuries. Staying by Huang Xian's side, she felt more down-to-earth.
At this time, the killing of Hu Zhai soldiers was divided into three places, and they formed a momentum between each other. There are 800 people in Liujiabao Dazhai, led by Huang Ling and Xu Guang. Tujiapu has 800 people, and Huang Xian personally leads it. Zhangjiadian has 800 people and is led by Huang Jiang.
While recruiting troops and horses to expand his strength, Huang Xian sent detectives to pay close attention to the war between Li Zuo and Tuoba Xiong, intending to wait for an opportunity to make a contribution.
On this morning, Huang Xian had nothing to do, so he practiced boxing in the courtyard of the Shuaifu, only to see him soaring high and low, jumping forward and backward, the fist wind was whistling, and the figure was longing, and a few relatives who were waiting beside him were stunned, and they applauded and cheered.
There are several tall honey locust trees in the courtyard, and it is almost early winter, and there are still many dead yellow leaves on the branches. When Huang Xian was boxing, the fist wind was blowing, and the dead leaves on the branches fell one after another, like a goddess scattering flowers.
Suddenly, a villager hurriedly broke into the Shuai Mansion, and when he saw Huang Xian boxing, he stood next to him and waited.
"What's the alarm?" Huang Xian retracted his figure and asked the Zhaiding who entered the mansion.
"Lord Huangzhai, many people have come from outside, and they are asking to enter the city!"
"Who?"
"It's Han Chinese, I feel like beggars. ”
"How many?"
"There are many, let alone three or four hundred. ”
"Wait until I go out and check it out. ”
Huang Xian took a few relatives to the South Gate Tower, and saw that there were many ordinary people in the city, all of whom were in rags and had gloomy faces.
"Folks, where are you from, and why did you enter Tu's shop?" asked Huang Xian loudly.
"General, Tu's shop is our home, when the Hu people slaughtered the city, we escaped by luck and hid in the mountains, I heard that the general drove away the Hu people, and we came back. An old man walked out, looked up at the castle tower and replied, looking like a leader.
"Lord Huangzhai, you can't let them in, if there are spies mixed in with them to sneak into the city, wouldn't it be very dangerous!" a personal attendant reminded Huang Xian.
"Don't worry about it, they've been hiding outside for so long, if outsiders sneak in, they don't know. Huang Xian himself has the tragic experience of having his home destroyed, and he is very sympathetic to the plight of these refugees.
Huang Xian ordered the city gate to be opened and let these people into the city. He shouted loudly to the people in the city: "Folks, welcome back to your homeland!"
In an uproar, hundreds of people outside the city knelt down at once, saying words of gratitude to Dade, and some couldn't control the excitement in their hearts and cried whining.
Refugees are running back to their homes. Although they were very happy, they had no food to satisfy their hunger, and the grain was snatched up by the Hu people and piled up in the warehouse. The refugees did not dare to ask Huang Xian for food, so they boiled tree bark to survive.
Zhai Ding reported the situation to Huang Xian. Huang Xian immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and at the same time distributed cloth and cotton wool according to the number of people in each household.
This moved the refugees. Seeing Huang Xian recruiting troops everywhere to expand his strength, everyone signed up one after another, willing to follow Huang Xian to recruit the Hu people.
The news spread quickly, and when I heard that Tujiapu could be saved from hunger and cold, hundreds of Han people came from nowhere, all of whom said that they were refugees who had escaped the cruelty of the Hu people and hid in the mountains, and were willing to join Huang Xian's team.
After finding out the situation, Huang Xian took it all in. The number of people in Tujiapu quickly doubled.
Huang Jiang, Huang Ling and Xu Guang also followed Huang Xian's example, but in a few days, the number of people who killed Huzhai had increased to more than 5,000.
In the afternoon of this day, Huang Xiancha returned to the Shuai Mansion after watching the recruit training and came to the backyard to chat with Zhao Wanming. It's become a habit for him. Zhao Wanming is familiar with military books, and Bing Xue is smart, and her gestures can always make Huang Xian feel very happy.
"Brother Huang, look!" As he spoke, Zhao Wanming stood up and spun around in front of Huang Xian, only to see her clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth.
"Sister Wan, hello!" Huang Xian's heart was pounding, he had recently discovered a change in Zhao Wanming, her eyes were already very clear and bright, and after coming from Liujiabao to Tujiapu, these beautiful eyes were even more beautiful.
For Huang Xian, Zhao Wanming's eyes are like burning charcoals, which not only makes people feel warm, but they don't dare to get too close, for fear of being burned by it. He likes Zhao Wanming very much, and he can't wait to hold her in his arms immediately, but at the same time he is afraid of making love to her, for fear of hurting her because of this, just like killing Hu Zhai's Hu Nu who is aging rapidly.
Zhao Wanming and Huang Xian have been together for more than a month, although the two have long been heart-to-heart, but this big man who stands up to the sky and the earth has behaved well, as if he has never experienced anything between men and women.
Zhao Wanming was very anxious, and secretly angry in her heart: This girl is so beautiful, I don't believe that you can't be fooled!
In the past few days, Zhao Wanming has recovered quickly, and the injury on her leg has almost healed, she wants to take the opportunity to show him that her wound has healed, so that she can make a beauty plan to give her arms and see if her sweetheart can be indifferent.
"Oops!" Zhao Wanming deliberately fell to the ground as soon as he spun around.
Huang Xian was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"Oops, oops, tap, tap......" she moaned softly and hugged Huang Xian's neck.
Huang Xian thought that her wound had burst, and picked her up and put her on the bed with both arms.
"Brother Huang, my wound hurts so much, you can show me!" Zhao Wanming frowned.
"Don't move!" Huang Xian couldn't take care of it anymore, and he was about to untie Zhao Wanming's pleated pants.
"Mingming, where are you? Where are you?" a voice came from outside the courtyard like a bell.
"Dad!" Zhao Wanming jumped off the bed and ran out, startling Huang Xian.
Zhao Wanming threw herself into her father's arms and shed tears. When father and daughter saw each other, they were really overjoyed and sad.
It has been more than two months since the father and daughter were separated in a flash, and in this era of chaos in the world, a girl has been taken away for so long, life and death are unknown, and the father's ability not to worry about it is broken.
"Daughter, let me see, I want to kill my father!" Zhao Tianyi picked up his daughter and carefully looked at her beautiful face.
"Dad, I'm fine, you see I'm not good!" Zhao Wanming wiped away her tears and began to get excited: "Dad, I'm killing Hu Zhai, thanks to Brother Huang taking care of me!" At the mention of Huang Xian, Zhao Wanming's eyes lit up, and his face was radiant.
