Chapter 182

All the way, the army didn't attack the city and pull out the stronghold, but went straight to Xuzhou City, because the detective horse had already found out that there were at least hundreds of thousands of refugees under Xuzhou City, so Qin Huan didn't want to delay on the road.

Although the sentinel had described it, when the army arrived near the state city, everyone was still numb and stunned.

Looking around, I can see that there are all kinds of shacks around the city, and I can't see the end at a glance.

Piles of firewood were burning in the middle, countless green smoke curled up, and big pots were put on them. I didn't know what was cooking.

A foul smell came from afar.

"How many people are there... How many people are there?"

The red warbler opened her mouth and exclaimed.

"You ask me, I ask who to go?"

Qin Huan turned his eyes, then waved his hand and said, "the herald army, set up camp on the spot, send some brothers to inquire about the refugees and tell us about our recruitment conditions."

Qin Huan was shocked. The refugees outside the city and the people in the city were also shocked.

Originally, people in the city thought it was an official Army to disperse these refugees, but when they saw the Chinese military flag, they immediately understood the details of the army in the distance and immediately felt like a great enemy.

Although the exiles outside the city were frightened, they did not respond. If they followed the rebels, they would revolt. If they were officials and soldiers, they would not be able to move.

In fact, Qin Huan didn't need to send someone to publicize the recruitment conditions of the Chinese army. When a big pot set up a fire for dinner, the refugees rushed like jackals smelling blood.

When the Chinese army had dinner, almost all the refugees gathered around. Hundreds of thousands of people crowded around the camp, old and young, men and women, but almost all were hungry.

For a time, all around the camp were cries for joining the rebel army. A famous refugee, wearing thin rags, knelt trembling on the ground with his forehead red.

If there were not tens of thousands of evil men holding bright knives and guns blocking around the camp, I'm afraid those refugees would have rushed in.

"What's going on? I'm not asking you to tell them that everyone has porridge later. Why is it so messy? "

King Qin came to the gate of the camp with people and a black face.

"King Hua, my subordinates have ordered people to shout everywhere. It is strictly clear that our Chinese army only recruits young men and women, young girls and blacksmiths. Those with families and families are not allowed, but these people don't care at all!" Qian bin also had a helpless face.

"In this way, if you don't recruit people, first maintain the order for me. Ten thousand people form a team, and then give porridge. When their mood stabilizes, they can recruit people slowly."

Seeing the noise outside, Qin Huan couldn't even hear him clearly. He had to wave his hand and found that he took it for granted.

Seeing that there were no recruits today, Hong Ying didn't want to stay outside. She hurried back to the big tent with Qin Huan. These refugees were so miserable.

"Xiaohua Wang, do we really leave after recruiting people and don't care about them anymore?"

"I have a headache, too! Come and have a drink with me first. "

Qin Huan rubbed his forehead and asked her to sit down.

After a while, two little servant girls came in with wine and vegetables.

"I can't eat it. Eat it yourself. I'll drink with you."

Hong Ying looked at a chicken, a bowl of steamed bread and a dry vegetable soup on the table. Although she didn't scold him for being extravagant, she felt that the food was tasteless, so she picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl by herself.

"It's up to you. One day, you'll live like those people outside for a period of time to see if you can eat."

They touched a bowl. Qin Huan wiped his mouth and said. Then he broke off a chicken leg and ate it.

"Why don't we recruit more?" The red warbler filled him again and tried to say.

"I'm afraid the whole Henan refugees have to have millions, 10000 more or 100000 more? Even a million people will still freeze and starve to death this winter. Tell me, what's the use of recruiting more people? "

Qin Huan put down his chicken leg and said in a low voice.

This time he only plans to recruit 20000 young people, 10000 young men, 10000 young men, 10000 strong women and 5000 young girls.

After all, no matter how many people there are, some will be out of control. Moreover, when the number reaches 100000, there will be no basic real estate, and the burden will be unprecedented.

Of course, those who have skills need as much as they have, especially blacksmiths.

"Saving one more is one."

The red warbler opened her mouth and finally said weakly.

Qin Huan didn't bother to talk to her, but it was boring to chew. Finally, both of them only ate vegetables and drank.

The outside is still messy. It was not until dusk that hundreds of thousands of refugees were separated and began to line up for porridge.

Although everyone was only given a bowl of thin atherosclerotic soup, everyone still cried with gratitude.

There are tens of thousands of big men holding knives and eyeing in the team, but there is no looting incident, because those who dare to rob others' porridge almost end up with one knife.

After eating the porridge, the refugees returned to their shacks under the city with their families. Many people finally had a glimmer of hope on their faces, but more people still knelt outside the camp and asked to join the anti thief.

"Your Majesty, not counting ourselves, today is just a meal, which consumes 500 stone rice."

Liu came up with the booklet and reported it. She obviously had a different look in her eyes. She didn't expect that the Xiaohua king would help the victims.

"How much food and grass do we have?" Qin Huan took the account book and looked at the capital figures on it. He frowned and threw it back. He thought it was time to teach them Arabic numerals.

"There are still 10000 stones of rice, 50000 stones of wheat, 60000 stones of all kinds of coarse grain and 100000 loads of forage. We can eat ourselves for a year."

Liu also knew Qin Huan's temperament, so he wiped out all the changes.

"There is plenty of food and grass. By the way, what about medicinal materials, sulfur, salt and other materials? Is there anyone else who didn't get cotton padded clothes? "

Qin Huan nodded and stared at her. Now he had to be careful. He couldn't live as extravagant as before.

"Except for the more than 3000 soldiers who have just joined the war and don't have cotton padded clothes, almost everyone else can put together a set. Although they are worn out, they can barely escape the cold. In addition to sulfur, other materials are still sufficient, and it won't be a problem for a year and a half."

"Well, in this way, we will continue to serve porridge tomorrow morning. In the evening, each person will have a big fist, half rice bran and half wheat bran." Qin Huan thought for a moment.

"Well, I'll tell you."

Liu nodded, and then the two women took the account book out of the camp.

Now, one of them is in charge of the income of money, grain and materials, and the other is in charge of the daily expenditure. Each of them has hundreds of literate concubines and servant girls, which can be said to be in a high position.

Qin Huan was never an empty man, so the next day he began to organize refugees to move out of the city, empty the place, and ordered engineers to build siege equipment.

When the refugees saw that the righteous army was really going to attack the city, they all enthusiastically signed up and were very happy.

If they had not been led by no one, plus the large families in the city, they would have taken some food to sow discord from time to time. I'm afraid they would have organized their own troops to attack the City long ago.

But Qin Huan didn't intend to let them attack the city, because he had his own special army to attack the city.
