"The most important thing now is to survive. Now you don't care about your Yang family, or your lives. If you don't obey my orders, you will die. Your Yang family will kill you and kill your troops. What do you think I am in Huairen County?" Zhu Da answered without hesitation.

The old middleman said this and widened his eyes at Zhu Da. Last night, this young man who should have been full of energy swallowed his anger and agreed to those conditions. He could not see any toughness or anger at all. Today, he was so unyielding. Looking around at the murderous young and strong people around, the four of the Yang family knew how to choose.

The old Yang Zhongjun was the leader of serving people. Once he decided to make his face quickly, he turned his face and smiled after looking back and turned his face, with a bit of righteousness: "The Tartars are coming, that is a major event that concerns life and death. As an official army, our Yang family naturally cannot be greedy for life and death. The old man, the old man, is afraid he will not be able to stand the battle when he is old, but these three are the guardians of my master. They are all very good at the battlefield in the army. You can use it as long as you are useless. If there is a slight slackness, the old man will not spare them first!"

He spoke like this and took out his own family first. The three behind him looked very bad, but they had no choice but to act like they were willing to join the army and serve the country.

"You ten people take these three to the two mentors Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, and they will be in charge." Zhu Da called on the guard and said. These three military soldiers may have real skills. If they are not careful, they may cause trouble, but if they are in the hands of Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, there will be no trouble. Those two are old military generals and personal guards, and they cannot play tricks in front of them.

Seeing the three people being "escorted" away helplessly, Zhu Da made way out of the door and let the old middleman Yang Zhaogui, who was full of stiff smiles, enter. They originally lived in the Qin family. At this time, there was no better place in Huairen County. When the two passed by, the old middleman Yang could not control his emotions and looked at Zhu Da with resentment. Zhu Da sneered and said in a low voice: "Old Yang, I can do this today. Even if the Tartars leave in the future, do you think I will let you go back alive?"

Such naked expression made the old Zhongjun discolored his color in shock. He staggered a few steps while mixing garlic under his feet, but Zhu Da didn't go to support him, but just smiled and said, "Think about it..."

The old middle army did not dare to turn around and hurried towards his residence. Zhu Da was about to walk to the inner hall, but he heard someone shouting outside the gate of the courtyard: "I am your Mr. Zhu's friend. I heard that he is here, please inform me."

After hearing this, Zhu Da went out to greet him. He heard that it was Li Zhuang's movement. Zhu Da had originally planned to go to the Li family caravan after seeing Qin Juren. As an outsider, he had to settle down. Moreover, the Li family caravan could not even take the goods with people, and he would not leave the city at this time.

Zhu Da greeted in front of the door, and Li Zhuang and the two managers were immediately put in. Li Zhuang's face was no longer full of energy as he had last night, and his face was full of wry smile and helplessness.

"Brother Zhu, it seems that I will spend this year at the Guizhou District and I will bother Brother Zhu for a while."

"I don't talk to my family, so I will arrange for someone to go to the inn in the afternoon. I will bear all the money and food consumption in the city."

"I am so ashamed. Since I met Brother Zhu, the Li family has not received much reward. This time I came here, one was to ask for help for money and grain, and the other was to do my best to defend the city. The Li family's caravan had more than a hundred people, more than ten people who could shoot bows, and seventy people who could take swords to fight. These people were all handed over to Brother Zhu to dispatch. If there were any casualties and injuries, the Li family would have their own pensions."

In such a dangerous situation, everyone in the city should do their best. No matter whether he is the people of Huairen County or not, Li Zhuang's proactive statement is still moving. Thinking about the old Yang Zhongjun just now, it makes people even more sigh-willed. The official army with the responsibility of defending the country and defending the territory is not as good as the caravan people.

"I thank Brother Li for this situation on behalf of the whole county's elders. Brother Li's generous act today will be rewarded in the future."

"I won't say that the scene is polite. If the city is broken, how many people can survive in the Li family caravan, let alone any wealth. This is also for self-protection."

Li Zhuang said it very clearly, but Zhu Da also understood what the other party said in this way. Li Zhuang didn't want to let himself bear too heavy favors. After all, this was the obligation of everyone in the city at this time.

"Brother Li, don't worry, Zhu won't forget this matter. Someone will go to the inn to inspect the people in the afternoon. The matter is busy. Brother Li will go back and send a message to make an angry message first, so that everyone will not be caught off guard."

Everyone showed their attitudes that there was not so much time to be polite. Li Zhuang finished what he wanted to say, and did not even say hello to Qin Juren, so he said goodbye and left.

"...The caravan guards are still reliable. They have experienced scenes, they can shoot bows, take swords, kill people, obey orders, and be bound by rules. Maybe it's easier to use as the servants in our county..."

"...... I have 237 servants on my hands, including 73 servants in the county, 80 caravan guards, and more than 70 servants who know martial arts. In addition, those who have not found out, there are about 500 people who can barely be called fighting..."

In Qin Juren's study, Zhu Da and Qin Chuan talked about the power they could use. Zhou Qingyun was supposed to be present on this occasion, but now in chaos, someone must always be in charge of the servants' brigade.

After listening to Zhu Da finishing the number, Qin Juren took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and looked up and said, "There are still different people who can defend the city and fight. There are almost two thousand males who can go to the city in the whole city. This is the important thing."

Qin Chuan is not a literati who only knows the scriptures. He has read military books and knows how to use military forces. Zhu Da is really not as good as him in the strategy of defending the city. After adding a sentence, Qin Juren frowned and stared at Zhu Da and asked, "You have recruited so many young and strong servants and practiced all day long. Is it just for today?"

"Entertainment father, if the child has such ability, why would he be today?" Zhu Da replied with a wry smile.

If I could really think so far, there would be no tragedy of Baibao Village and Zheng Jiaji being massacred. Qin Juren also understood this and sat there and sighed and said, "At such a critical moment, I won't talk too much to you. How to defend the city and how much food and grass are needed. It's best to report to me a plan tonight. I will calculate the number according to this plan to support it. If this disaster can be carried over, everything will go smoothly in the future. If we can't stand it, we will see our father and son again in the next life..."

Speaking of this, Qin Chuan smiled again, shook his head and said, "Our remote place is not worth the attention of the Tartars. It is probably a transit, so there is no need to think about it."

Zhu Da did not answer the conversation, but just bowed to say goodbye. When leaving the house, Qin Juren said behind him: "Zhou Gui, the household house, has come to me. You can just entrust the activities in the account to Zhou Lu. Now the Zhou family is my own family and can trust it."

After the early morning meeting, smart people know who the county will be in the future. Of course, everyone knows that they will have to wait until this great sadness can only be settled. The Zhou family is a truly smart person, so they naturally have to do their homework ahead of everyone.

Zhu Da walked on the street after leaving the Qin family, and he had thought about it. He had thought of it, but it was more at ease when Qin Chuan considered it. No matter how you look at it, Huairen County is a worthless target. There are few people and few grains and cities, so it takes a certain amount of effort to fight, but the harvest is not that great. Moreover, within a hundred miles of Huairen County, there are two garrisons and Datong Xiongcheng. To attack this small county town that will not have any gains, there is also the risk of being attacked by other troops on the flanks and rears. If you want to annihilate, you can go to the border and Datong. If you want to rob, the surrounding area of ​​Datong and further south of Shanxi will be richer. It is the ruined Huairen County town that cannot even be considered a waste.

The Mongolian horse team went south with such a large-scale move, and it must have had some plans. Whether it is strategy or plunder, no matter which point it is, it has nothing to do with Huairen County.

Thinking this way makes people feel a little more relaxed, but this kind of mental relief will not make Zhu Da relax in preparations at all. No matter how thorough the logic is or how accurate the analysis is, there will be any situation. What Zhu Da needs to do is to be careful of this.

After returning to the courtyard where the resident servants were stationed, Zhu Da frowned as soon as he entered the courtyard. The stewards were busy all the time. Some were lined up to prepare, and some were preparing supplies. When he walked to the second entrance, he could see the women, children, the elderly and the weak moving. But this well-organized scene did not make people feel at ease. Zhu Da saw panic and despair on everyone's face. With such a strong and self-seducation, he was anxious that he would collapse at any time...

"Everyone stopped what he was doing, I have a few words to say." Zhu Da said loudly, and he climbed up a pile of coal with agile movements. People around him came over when they heard Zhu Da's greeting.

Everyone looked up at Zhu Da, and Zhu Da also looked at them. Although they had not preached, just seeing Zhu Da himself, everyone was much more stable.

"Some of you have lost their families, and only you are left. Some of you have lost all their money and your whole family will be frozen to death. Why are you in this situation? Do you regret your escape? If you fought with the Tartars in the past, there would be no chance of life. Will you save a few people?" Zhu Da shouted loudly, everyone's eyes widened. Few people have really thought that most people only felt that it was a lucky chance to escape, but once you follow this idea, regret will come to your heart and be heartbroken. If you were braver at that time, would you be able to...

Even Zhu Da, who shouted these words, took a deep breath and kept calm. He suddenly thought, if he and Zhou Qingyun rode down the mountain that day, would they be able to rescue a few people and whether they could rescue their parents and masters? Zhu Da shook his head and dared not think about it anymore.
