"How's the collection going?"

Shi An, dressed in a vermilion uniform, asked as he sat in the hall.

Zhang Chu sat at the bottom of the hall, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, three thousand people have been recruited, and they are stepping up their exercises. ”

"Plenty of armor?"

"The gap is not big, and the lower officials have gathered all the blacksmiths in the city and forged weapons with all their might. ”

"Is there enough grain?"

"We have prepared enough food for the lockdown of the city for three months. ”

Shi An stroked his beard and bowed slightly, and seemed to appreciate Zhang Chu very much.

For the following, aside from the objective factor of ability, it can be roughly divided into three types of people.

The first type will take the initiative to do the work and be willing to put effort into doing the work well.

In the second category, the boss will do whatever work is arranged, and it doesn't matter if it is good or not.

The third category, even if the boss arranges the work, it is all kinds of laziness, grinding foreign workers or cutting corners.

In Shi Anzai's eyes, Zhang Chu is a very capable first-class person.

There is no superior who does not like this type of subordinate.

Even if this subordinate does not belong to the list of henchmen and descendants.

Zhang Chu is also very grateful to Shi An for being in this Shangguan.

He knew that Shi Anzai was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Whether it was promoting him to be a county soldier, or vigorously supporting him in implementing various military policies, Shi Anzai must have his own ideas.

But he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Shi An's support for him, helping him withstand all kinds of pressure, and endorsing him, let alone implementing so many military policies in Jintian Mansion, he was afraid that even the position of the county soldier Cao would have been unstable.

Excellent superiors and subordinates always achieve each other.

"The lower official has a matter, and he has the courage to admonish the lord. ”

After the daily reporting work, Zhang Chu got up and bowed to Shi An.

Shi Anzai: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"The Northern Barbarian army is about to come to the city, but there are still tens of thousands of civilians, women and children in the city, if the city is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable...... Can the county government come forward and organize the evacuation of the people in the city?"

After a pause, he then said: "The lower official has no intention of cowardly fighting or fearing war, and the lower official dares to make a military order to the lord, and the northern barbarians will come, and the lower official will lead his subordinates to fight with the northern barbarians to the last man!"

The words fell, and there was silence in the official temple.

Shi An looked down at Zhang Chuliang for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband!"

"Lord Zhang, you are the first chief official to mention this proposal to this official!"

Zhang Chu's head hung lower: "The lower officials are afraid." ”

Shi An sighed lowly, "You, you're still too young!"

"Why don't I know that if the people of this city are left in Jintianfu, once the city is broken, the tragedy of the slaughter of the three counties of Yanqi, Zhige, and Zhuma will come immediately!"

"But if we come forward to organize the people to move south, how will the state government view us?

"This official knows that you are pitying the people of this city, not cowardly and afraid of war, but do other people know?"

"Do they want to know?"

"How can this official let you and others shed their blood for Jintian Mansion and then die under the words of the jumping clown?"

Zhang Chu's heart sank, and he said that he was really too naïve.

His idea was simple.

Evacuate the common people of the city, leaving only the soldiers who can fight, and there is no worry about fighting with the northern barbarians.

The Jintian Mansion guard must not be able to hold it, there are only 50,000 remnants left in the Zhenbei Army, and the people in the Jintian Mansion plus the regular army are only 10,000 in total, and ninety percent are recruits.

How can this stop the 150,000 troops of the Northern Barbarians?

If there is no drag from the people of the city, the city will be broken and the army will simply withdraw.

If you keep people, even if you lose this city, AllBright Mansion will still be there.

But if the city is gone, the people in the city are gone, and AllHeaven's Mansion is really gone.

One of the great strategies of Grandpa Tai is just right here: if you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will save your land.

Zhang Chu thought very simply.

He just started from the position of the guard of the Jintian Mansion and considered the whole incident.

But I forgot that since ancient times, what literati have been best at is throwing pots and killing people without seeing blood.

If you really move the people of this city out of the city, and then the Jintian Mansion will be lost again......

In the eyes of those big people at the top of the Great Departure, aren't these officials who advocate the relocation of ordinary people ready-made scapegoats?

......

Zhang Chu came out of the Junchengguan Temple with a heavy heart.

Why did he know that he couldn't hold the city, but he didn't evacuate the people in advance, and finally slaughtered the city, this should be the doubt of many Chinese people in Zhang Chu's previous life.

Because in the history of China, there have been too many such tragedies.

But when Zhang Chu himself participated in such an incident, he suddenly realized how difficult it was to reverse the trend of this tragedy!

There are too many people who have nothing to do with this war, separated by a thousand mountains, and they are inextricably influencing this war.

Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the Jintian Mansion is just a string of inconsequential numbers.

Compared to the life and death of keeping this string of numbers.

Obviously, it is more important to keep the dignity of Dali, to keep the black gauze hat on their heads, and to keep their reputation for a lifetime.

Zhang Chu seemed to have seen that something called the wheel of history was rolling towards him.

Mantis arm, how to block the car......

Zhang Chu walked into the county soldier division with his head bored, and saw the mule spinning around in the lobby like ants on a hot pot.

His heart sank suddenly, knowing that something must have happened......

Without a hundred thousand urgent events, the mules would never come to the county soldiers to look for him!

Sure enough, as soon as the mule saw him, he immediately came up and said urgently: "Master Chu, something is wrong!"

Zhang Chu directly spit out a word: "Say!"

The mule said in a hurry: "The Northern Barbarian army of Zhige County and Zhuma County has attacked Jintian Mansion, and they will arrive at Jintian Mansion within an hour at the latest!"

Zhang Chu: "How many people?"

Mule: "There are no less than 15,000 in the direction of Zhige County, and no less than 20,000 in the direction of Zhuma County!"

Zhang Chu's eyes darkened, and he staggered back two steps under his feet.

The mule hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and whispered worriedly: "Master Chu!"

"Smack. ”

Zhang Chu slapped himself and forced himself to calm down.

He turned around and shouted, "Someone!"

A soldier on duty walked in quickly, waved his hand and said, "My lord!"

"Tell Lord Shi, the Northern Barbarian army is coming!"

"Order the four city gates to seal the city immediately!"

"Command the North Battalion, put on armor and carry out the troops, and be on call at all times!"

"Go now!"

"Yes, sir!"

The armor turned and ran out in a panic.

"Mules!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Order Xuanwu Hall, put on armor, and go to Beidaying to listen to the big bear dispatch!"

"Herald Li Zheng...... No, the herald ordered the White Tiger Hall to assemble and go to the North City Gate to find me!"

"You sit at the helm of the Quadruple Gang, dispatch all the Blood Shadow Guards in the city, and strangle the Northern Barbarians. ”

"Remember, when it is extraordinary, it is an extraordinary thing, but if there is a person who is suspected of being a Beiman, there is no need to investigate carefully, and the martial artist who can't help it, send someone to inform Da Xiong, and let Da Xiong send someone to deal with it!"

"Yes, my subordinates will go back to the west of the city...... Master Chu, take care!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

"Come on, take me and hang me!"
