In fact, Du Xuan is not planning to transform all the 20,000 to 30,000 people into farmers. This group of people are all from Fucheng, and many of them, like Han Xuezhen and others, have certain talents, and they are also talents that Black Bear Castle is currently lacking.
But many of these people are not good at character. For example, Han Xuezhen was tortured by the barbarians to the point of doubting his life. After being rescued, his "old disease" relapsed, and he even showed up as a scholar. So,
Du Xuan had to hone them hard.
"These people are too fragile. They can't do much work in a day and waste food in vain. Some of them were hungry for several days before they were willing to work. But when they arrived at the construction site, they actually cheated and cheated. I had people take care of them.
.Finally become honest. If I had known it was this kind of thing, it would be better to let them get the barbarian dogs to the barbarian territory. The barbarian dogs will not be as merciful as us." Yang Wancai was very dissatisfied with some of the 20,000 people.
"Take it easy, there are still some things in here that our Black Bear Castle will use in the future. Keep an eye on it, don't have any surprises." Du Xuan said.
Among this group of refugees, the proportion of women is very high, and some of them have been harmed by the soldiers and adventurers of the Golden Crow Barbarians. It is very troublesome to be looking for life and death all day long.
"I can't guarantee this. When those women were harmed by the barbaric dogs, they were watched by many people. They were intimidated by the barbaric dogs and did not even dare to seek death. The barbaric dogs strung several people together. If one of them escaped,
If they were killed or seeking death, we killed all these people. So they couldn't die even if they wanted to. After being rescued by us, they started to think of seeking death again," Yang Wanchai said.
"Put these poor women alone in a place, and send us women from Black Bear Castle to persuade them. We can save them as much as possible. If it doesn't work, we have done our best." Du Xuan sighed.
After all, some people were so desperate that they finally chose to end their miserable lives. Among the hundreds of women who reacted violently, about a dozen of them chose to end their lives in various ways.
Du Xuan had no intention of hiding this kind of thing. Everyone in the refugee camp knew that all the dead people were buried on the barren hillside not far from the reclaimed wasteland.
The biggest impact was on Han Xuezhen’s younger sister Han Mengfu.
"Sister Qiuxuan, if, if we were like them back then, I really can't imagine what the result would be!" Only then did Han Mengfu realize the cruelty of this troubled world.
"Maybe we will lie here like them." Xu Qiuxuan was very calm.
"Yes, maybe we will lie here too. If we die in this place far away from our homeland, without any relatives around, no one will know who is buried in this grave in the future. In these troubled times, human life is really too despised.
" Han Mengfu said.
Han Xuezhen remained silent. Now he began to regret that when Du Xuan wanted to recruit him, he actually acted like a scholar. But there is no regret medicine in this world.
Half a month later, Hu Benrui returned to Black Bear Castle with a thousand dragon scale horse cavalry.
"Golden Crow Old Dog must have known everything. There have been more and more barbarians recently. I'm afraid that if I stay at Lingtai Guard any longer, I will be trapped there. It's such a pity. If we had more troops, I could guard Lingtai Guard."
, cut off the barbarians' food routes and put them in a dilemma." Hu Benrui said.
"It's almost done. Just keep guard for a while. I'm afraid the old Golden Crow dog will jump over the wall. If this old dog makes a desperate move and fights with our Chiyang Guards, it will be in big trouble." Du Xuan said with a smile.
"We have gained a lot this time. The barbarians will only steal chickens but not lose rice. The puppet emperor Yang Qianying is now said to have expanded to an army of 500,000. Everywhere they go, they are like locusts, harvesting everything. Jing. Now our Chiyang Guards can't get in. Our Chiyang Guards can't feed 500,000 people. So the puppet emperor Yang Qianying started to make plans for Fucheng. 500,000 rebel troops rushed towards Fucheng. Naturally, the Golden Crow Old Dog didn't want to be in chaos. The army spent their strength and evacuated Fucheng directly. Before leaving, they took away a lot of things from Fushun. As soon as the barbarians left, Dai Mingnian also defected to the barbarians and took tens of thousands of horses with him to become the lackeys of the barbarians. Fuchengcheng The gate was opened, and the puppet emperor directly occupied the city. The city was plundered by the barbarians, and then again by the rebels. The city in the west was completely destroyed," Hu Benrui said.
"Did the Golden Crow directly return to the Barbarian Realm?" Du Xuan asked.
"What else can we do if we don't return to the barbarian territory? Now that the heroes of Daqi are everywhere, the whole Daqi is like a quagmire. The Golden Crow doesn't dare to plunge the barbarian army into this quagmire. He definitely wants to wait until the numbers of people from all walks of life in Daqi are reduced. When you are both defeated, you can take advantage of the situation." Hu Benrui said.
"Where do you think Jinwu should go now? He brought so many things from Fucheng, so he must not be leaving very fast," Du Xuan said.
"The Golden Crow has been out for so long with an army of 100,000 people. In addition, the city of Mauihan was destroyed by us. The Golden Crow should rush back to the barbarian territory. Most of the elites should follow the Golden Crow in front. The Golden Crow came out too late. If something happens in Maoyhan City, he will have to worry about problems within the Golden Crow Royal Family. I don’t believe there are no conflicts within the Golden Crow Royal Family,” Yang Wancai said.
Du Xuan nodded: "The Barbarian Emperor left with most of the elites, so who will be behind?"
"Of course it's the old dog Dai Ming Nian who just surrendered to the enemy. There may also be some elite barbarians. These people are mainly monitoring Dai Ming Nian." Wang Yuansen continued.
"For such a big city, there is definitely a lot of supplies. Their marching speed will not be very fast. If we wait for them in a place they don't expect, we may be able to grab this batch of supplies." Du Xuan said with a smile. .
"Dai Ming Nian has a lot of men and horses. We can now send up to four thousand dragon scale horse cavalry. Dai Ming Nian has at least 50,000 people and horses." Hu Benrui was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? Dai Mingnian's men are full of wine and rice bags. Among the fifty thousand soldiers, there are very few cavalry. The Golden Crow Old Dog can leave at most five thousand elite cavalry." Yang Wanchai said contemptuously.
The reason why Yang Wanchai is so confident is that the current strength of Black Bear Castle is completely different from when he sent troops to Chiyang City. Although the number has only doubled, the improvement in strength is not as simple as an increase in number. These four thousand dragons Half of the scaled horse cavalry are veterans who have experienced several major battles. Their experience and self-confidence have been raised to a very high level.
"It's just that the situation in the fort is still very complicated. The more than 10,000 captives in the past have not been fully digested, and now there are 20,000 to 30,000 refugees, and there are many problems. After all our main forces are dispatched, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the fort. ." Hu Benrui said worriedly.
