Chapter two hundred and ninety second heart disaster

Zhao Jin took a step forward, and the people in the winery trembled, and they were quiet for an instant. Zhao Jin said coldly: "You can leave in three years. If you leave early, this is the end. As for the king's law, I am the king's law."

The audience was silent. Zhao Jin turned his head and said, "Leave a recruit team to watch. As long as someone wants to leave the winery range, kill him or her."

The recruits next to him obeyed the orders, and neither the winery nor the guys responded at all. They were all scared.

"Damn it, the thief can't get over it, which makes people anxious to wait." As he walked out, Shi Manqiang cursed anxiously.

Except for Chen Huang's calm face, everyone's expression was not very good-looking. Zhao Jin looked around and saw that he understood everyone's thoughts, and probably thought that his methods were fierce.

"The winery is our foundation. This secret method of brewing represents wealth. Who knows that it will be moved. If you let it go this time, more people will do it next time. If you can't be careful at that time, it will be a big trouble. Moreover, if the winery's profit is gone, our Zhaoziying will have to rely on scraping the land to maintain it. That situation will be very different from now." Ruhui said with a smile when she was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Jin nodded. He knew that Ruhui's words were not flattering him, but explained to those who couldn't understand. Sure enough, everyone's expressions improved a lot. Zhao Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. When he went to fight to kill the enemy, his brothers would not blink, but sometimes he was too ignorant and felt that everything had to follow the rules. This could not be said to be a bad thing. It can only be said that everyone's innocent heart is still there.

After walking to the He family compound and seeing through the gap, it was less than half an hour before, and the outside was no longer so messy. The team training in various places of the Joint Guard also set up a decent formation and began to be alert in the pre-arranged position.

"It's really strange. Are the refugees really heading for the city?" Zhao Jin said.

Since the news came out, Hejiazhuang and Zhaoziying were on guard and frequent exchanges were happening around them. However, after preparing so much, there was no movement. It was a bit like hitting the cotton hard.

"Brother, I just looked around and said that the refugees were in the village near Zhoucheng, and they should be searching for food." Dong Bingfeng said.

This is actually not a piece of news. Everyone knows that hungry refugees must search for food along the way, and the most important thing is to go in what direction they will go next.

Zhao Jin shook his head. Just as he was about to go to work hard, he found a cavalry rushing in the distance. There must be another sentry probe back. The cavalry was stopped by other cavalrymen on the periphery and was only put in after inquiring.

"It seems to be the Qi brothers?" Dong Bingfeng said with the best eyesight and recognized him there.

The three brothers of the Qi family are still hired, but no one regards them as outsiders. The three brothers of the Qi family are a few years older than the young men like Zhaoziying, and have been involved in the world. They are very experienced. When they go out to keep a watch and detective, they can often bring back more news.

When Zhao Jin heard him come, he simply left the yard and waited in the open space to the east. Not long after, the rider arrived, but it was the third child of the Qi family.

"Why are you sweating so much?" The third brother of the Qi family was covered in sweat. The horse's nose was wide open, and he was breathing. He knew that the horse had been running at full speed for a long time, and it was almost at its limit. If he ran again, he might run to death.

Zhao Jin and his friends all looked solemn. An experienced rider like Qi San has always cared for horses. If something big hadn't happened, he would definitely not have run back like this.

"Mr. Jin, everyone, there are actually horse riding on the thief. Some of these cavalrymen finally crossed the river by boat, and some seemed to come from the east. The little one had been staring at it from a distance, but he never thought it would be discovered by sharp eyes. More than a dozen riders rushed over, and the little one ran out desperately before running out." Qi San said breathlessly.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It was another matter whether the thief had combat power. Now there were cavalry. What was going on?

“How many rides are there?”

"Just seeing it alone is probably less than 200, and the total number is definitely more than 200." The question and answer of Dong Bingfeng and Qi San made everyone's expression even more ugly.

Zhao Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you a refugee riding a horse?"

"No, although this group of people is wearing tattered clothes, the handles on the horse's back are not bad, the people are not thin, and the horse is not thin." Qi San did look very carefully.

"I'm afraid it's the Xiangma who came here to get the bargain," Liu Yong said.

Zhao Jin shook his head and then said, "Continue to arrange people to watch them, so that they can run away whenever something goes wrong. You must save your life. Don't let others know about this news. It's better to follow the plan. Each team will keep its position and don't slack off. Go and do everything."

As soon as everyone turned around, Zhao Jin stopped Ji Xiang and whispered: "Go and arrange it, all the big cars must be guaranteed to be able to leave at any time."

Ji Xiang nodded solemnly and hurriedly went. Zhao Jin turned to Ruhui and said, "When you are with Xuezhi, when you arrange your residence in the afternoon, remember to arrange the important things in the easy direction, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Where are we ourselves?" Ruhui asked in surprise.

"If we really want to leave, we can gather together and set off immediately. These people will inevitably panic at that time. If they are placed inside, they may rush around and make trouble, which will delay our affairs." Zhao Jin explained.

"Master, your mind is really meticulous." Ruhui nodded with a smile.

Zhao Jin smiled bitterly and said, "When this is important, you can only get everything."

Ruhui smiled and walked quickly, Zhao Jin was left here. Zhao Jin couldn't calm down. He went up to the east and looked towards Xuzhou Prefecture City. The distance was so far, of course it was impossible to see anything. Zhao Jin looked for a while and couldn't help but say to himself: "What do these people want?"

"Grain" and "Grain" are all around Xuzhou City, and are now filled with roars and screams. The contents of the shouting are almost the same, including food and food.

After the refugees came ashore, dozens of families near the ferry were first exposed to seedlings. They thought it was safe to cross the river, but they never expected that the refugees would cross the river. Faced with the hungry refugees pouring into their homes, some wanted to resist and were soon trampled into meat paste. Some people did not dare to move. Seeing everything in their homes being stolen, they could only cry loudly and even be carried forward together.

There is a small village with more than 100 households three miles away from the ferry. However, the villagers cannot not know how much the refugees crossed the river. Everyone ran out regardless of the situation. Some old people cried and said they were unwilling to leave their homes, but in fact they were afraid of dragging their children down. Not long after, the refugee brigade also destroyed the village. Those who rushed in first found some leftovers and cold rice that had not been finished, or found the accumulated food. The people in front were filled with fullness, which stimulated the people behind. After a village was washed away, everyone roared and went to the next village.

But after passing several villages in a row, only a few hundred people could eat each place. I originally thought that every place on the south bank of the Yellow River was full of food, but I didn't expect that there was not much in each place. Now in May and June, the grain reserves of last year have been eaten by Yu Jing. It was still early before the autumn grain came down. The poor families only had a meal a day, so what would be for refugees there to eat. But the wealthy families who thought there would be a rich harvest could only see the ashes. When they caught the big family, they asked, saying that they had a fire a few days ago and were burned to nothing.

The refugees washed away villages and settlements one by one, and all they could get was a small number of people. Of course, this could not satisfy them. Everyone became more and more anxious and angry, and kept urging them to move forward.

"Everyone goes to the next one, there must be food there." Someone was shouting, and everyone just subconsciously followed, breaking through everywhere and disappointing everywhere.

The villagers who fled often did not escape too far. They avoided the refugee brigade but were forced back and could only follow the brigade. A small number of bold people wanted to take advantage of the situation to make some money. Most of them followed behind crying and robbing the sky and earth. Some young people were trying to run away regardless of the situation, but were caught up by the "refugees" riding horses and killed directly.

No one noticed that from here to there, the villages and towns outside the city were washed away, but they were just surrounding the city.

At present, the city of Xuzhou is full of people, soldiers, constables, and civilians. They are all on guard and look out tremblingly. Although the refugees under the city do not have bows and arrows, no one attacks the city, and they are even moving far away from the city wall, everyone on the city is hiding behind the squadron, as if they can feel more at ease by doing this.

Standing at the top of the city, these tens of thousands of refugees were boundless and endless, as if they were not only the rumored 100,000, but also millions. Even if so many people rushed over with their hands, they could fill the moat under the city, then level with the city wall, and then attack Xuzhou City.

"Master Liang, the rolling wood and stones are not ready yet. There is too little lime and the boiling oil must be collected. Otherwise, if there is something wrong, I can't handle it here. Master Liang, who was in charge of defense at the top of the city, said sweating profusely. He counted the supplies lacking in guarding the city, but as he spoke, he found that the magistrate Tong Huaizu was not listening.

The people in Xuzhou Prefecture were all on the northern part of the city wall. Listening to the urging of the Liangmao, everyone looked at the prefect Tong Huaizu. At this time, Tong Zhizhou's face was pale and his eyes were dull, as if he was looking at the rolling smoke and dust under the city. In fact, his eyes were not focused, and his face was covered with cold sweat. Looking closely, he found that the Tong Zhizhou's government was still floating. He thought it was wind, but in fact his body was trembling.

"Sir" Master Wang couldn't stand it, so he leaned over and reminded him. Tong Zhizhou was still stunned. Master Wang's voice increased a little. Tong Zhizhou seemed to be frightened, and his body trembled. He hurriedly turned around. Master Wang quickly repeated what Liang Ba said.

Tong Zhizhou nodded in a daze and said, "Okay, okay, according to General Liang, as long as this city is guarded, my official will do his best to help, and there will be another reward afterwards."

Liang Barmaster wiped his sweat and bowed and said, "The title of general is absolutely not acceptable. The magistrate does not have to worry. Although there are many thieves outside the city, they are mobs. There are no equipment to attack the city, and they don't know how to attack the city. Moreover, these thieves have no roots. After all the food outside the city is eaten up, they can only disperse. Let's hold on to wait for assistance. When our general returns, the thieves will cooperate inside and outside, and the thieves will be defeated."

"Okay, okay, okay" Tong Zhizhou said three good things in a row. Mr. Liang has experienced the battlefield. His words are reasonable and well-founded, which makes people convinced. The magistrate Tong Huaizu felt a little relaxed.

"If Mr. Liang has any needs, even if he tells me that Captain Chen is also on the city, just tell him what he has to do. The training of the Minsheng Group will follow your command. I will go back to the yamen to raise military supplies for you, and I will never treat the soldiers unfairly." Tong Zhizhou said incoherently, and then hurriedly got off the city.

Then Liang Barman stood up and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and complained: "Old Chen, you master is scared, you really don't know what he is trying to do with him."

Chen Wu, who was standing by the side, smiled and did not respond. The Chen family was born in the army, but Zhou Shen General's boss had some connection with Qi Jiguang. He also had contacts with the Chen family and the Xuzhou garrison, and they were not familiar with each other.

"I don't know anything and make random arrangements. What's the use of these people? I'm shocked when I'm really touching the knife. It's not as effective as those outside the city. At least I've seen blood. If Lao Zhao's son came over with his men, it would be like adding a battalion of soldiers, and he would be afraid of a bird," Liang Bashang said angrily.

"Stop talking a few words. If anyone passes your words into Taizun's ears, even if you are not yours, you will have to worry about the future." Zhao Zhentang also came over. He is now the commander of the Minsheng Group Training Group, and of course he must be on the top of the city. The Zhao family is a member of the Xuzhou Health Department, and he can speak with the people in the garrison. After Zhao Jin rose, everyone respected him more.

Seeing Chen Wu and Zhao Zhentang approaching, Liang Bachang laughed, but then waved his hand and called the person closer, lowered his voice and said, "Never been outsiders, I'll just say a few more words. You all go back and prepare. If the city is broken, it's better to have a response."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu were both stunned. Chen Wu also lowered his voice and asked, "These hungry people below? Are they biting open the bricks with their teeth?"

"It's said it was hungry, but after coming from Shandong, it was strictly forbidden to stop boats on the Yellow River. They also brought boats to cross the river. Look, the people outside are walking around the city. There are so many places outside Xuzhou, which one is not easier to drive than our city, and they just don't leave." Wang Zhengshou also came over there, and Liang Zhengshou did not shy away, and he kept talking.

When Wang Bashen heard this, he turned his head and spitted, lowered his voice and said, "There is something strange inside and outside. Pizhou is so stupid that he is in chaos. If Zheng Yu goes, he can't come back for a while. Are you weird? I'm going to put all the boys you can beat up on the side of the Jiang Ye's house. If there is any possibility, I and Lao Liang will sacrifice their lives and will protect grandma and young master and run out."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about these unlucky things. Lao Zhao, everyone said that there is trouble outside the city. I think your boy is lucky, and it may not be affected." Liang Ba Zhang smiled and turned around.

When Zhao Zhentang first came, there was a smile on his face, but it was full of solemnity. He didn't answer the conversation, but just turned his head to look outside the city. The smoke and dust rolled outside the city, howling and crying, and it came from afar. It was a long time to drought, and when you ran, it was dusty. What's more, these tens of thousands of refugees were running and shouting, and the dust spreads to the sky. Countless figures were faintly in a daze, looking like hell on earth.

"Is that boy in my house?" Zhao Zhentang murmured.

"Look, that's the only son of the master. He wants to be the top scholar in school. Such a character in the play has cut off more than a dozen heads in the past few days. The gangsters in the city dare not look up in front of him. You said that my surname is Wang, why isn't he so promising?" On the other hand, General Wang suddenly said, and everyone looked over, but Wang Zhaojing took the people to the top of the city.

When Wang Zhaojing saw this, he bowed from afar. Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu were both his elders, and they had to be fully qualified.

"But don't worry, the thief is just angry. If you really dare to come over to attack the city, I will gather troops in the Wengcheng, seize their retreat, and kill them. They will be in chaos." Wang Bar nodded with a smile and said to himself.

Tong Zhizhou did not delay his work, but it may have been shocked. The master and the officials of the sixth house dared not delay. Rolling wood, stones and lime were continuously delivered to the city. Several large shops also produced a lot of raw oil and cooked oil. The boiled oil was a powerful weapon to guard the city. The blacksmith shop kept creating various weapons all night, and the wealthy families killed pigs and sheep to reward the people for their strength. The news from the city made everyone understand that Xuzhou City might really be in a big disaster this time. It can only be united and everyone works hard. As for Yang Juren, it is said that he was seriously ill and no one paid attention to it. The chief of the magistrate came out and said that he would definitely find Yang Zhongping's bad luck after the matter was over.

No one expected in advance that the situation would develop in the worst direction. The refugees almost circled around the city, but did not leave in the end, but camped less than a mile west of the city.

The top figures in Xuzhou City went to the city to take a look. When they saw the bonfires below, they heard the roars that burst out from time to time, and their faces were pale.

"The grain is in Xuzhou"

"I dreamed of a real person yesterday. The real person told me in heaven that Xuzhou is full of food."

"We can eat enough when we enter Xuzhou"

"With real blessing, we all will be able to open Xuzhou City, eat enough and enjoy the happiness of everyone."

"Hold Xuzhou"

At the B&B camp, people shouted and encouraged each place at the top of their lungs. Along the way, refugees rarely had this kind of half-hungry and half-full state. The "good-hearted people" kept saying that they could eat enough in Xuzhou. It seemed that they had received some verification today. Everyone was even more fanatical. At first, they were just those "good-hearted people" shouting, but later everyone shouted with deafening voices, and even the head of Xuzhou could hear clearly.
