Chapter 112: Soldiers Approaching the City (2)

Xu's leaving Yucheng overnight may be a relatively secret matter for ordinary people, but for a person like Yuxi, he soon found out.

When Yuxi heard the news, she frowned and said, "Who else's family members have left the city?" This is not a good sign.

Xu Wu said: "Most of the generals' wives and children are not in Yucheng, and a small number of them have left one after another in the past few days. There are not many left."

Hearing this, Yuxi asked: "Have the female family members of the Fu family and the Zhao family also left?" She became a little more familiar with these two families.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "The grandma of the Fu family left Yucheng with her two daughters the day before yesterday. Mrs. Zhao of the Zhao family did not leave, but Grandma Zhao left with her children." Now in times of crisis, the female relatives take their children and leave No one can be blamed.

Yu Xi said softly: "It's not an option to go on like this!" Yu Xi also couldn't say that it was wrong for these female relatives to leave with their children, but the impact it caused was very bad. The more difficult the time is, the more people have to hug each other together, and only with one heart can we get through the difficulties. But these officials and wives leave with their children, and those who have financial resources and connections must also leave, and those who are left have no way to leave.

Xu Wu said with a wry smile: "Madam, those who could have escaped would have escaped long ago, and they will not stay until now." Not everyone is like her wife, who is willing to stay without leaving even knowing the danger.

Yu Xi thought for a while, and said to Xu Wu: "Can you gather all the people in the city and let them help resist the Northern Captives?"

Xu Wu didn't understand, and said: "Those women, children, and old people can't go to the battlefield, how can they help resist the northern exile army?"

Yuxi said: "There are so many soldiers in the barracks, they must [UUReading Book 00ks] need to eat. Women, children and the elderly in Yucheng cannot go to the battlefield, but they can cook with fire. In addition, women, children and the elderly can also take care of the wounded .”

Xu Wu said: "Madam's idea is good, but these people may not be willing." This kind of thing usually needs to be called on by the people above, and they have the heart but not the ability.

Yuxi knows Xu Wu's scruples, but it's not her principle to give up before doing it. After thinking for a while, Yuxi said to Zijin, "Zijin, I leave this matter to you. Call as many as you can!"

Zijin was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "No, I'm not going anywhere, I want to stay here and guard my wife." At this moment, how could she dare to leave Yuxi.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "You have been in the school for a long time, and those children who have helped you know you, you can tell their parents that it will be easier for them to help." Seeing that Zijin was hesitant, Yuxi smiled and said: "Go, I'll be fine in the mansion." It's also because she has a big belly, otherwise she would have done it herself.

Seeing that Zijin hadn't agreed yet, Yuxi said: "You have to know, once the city is broken, everyone's lives will be lost." As long as she starts this way, Yuxi believes that many people will automatically join in. Those who stayed in Yuchengli, none of them wanted to see Yucheng being breached. Once the city is broken, everyone's life is in danger.

Having said all of this, Zijin couldn't help but agree.

Yu Xi said: "When you go to find these people, tell them that the reinforcements will arrive within half a month. As long as we stick to it for half a month, we can hold the city."

Zijin hesitated, and said, "Is it useful?"

Yuxi nodded and said: "It's useful. One person's strength is limited, but as long as everyone unites to fight against the enemy, we will be able to defend Yucheng." If you don't have this confidence, how can you convince others.

After hearing this, Zijin thought for a while, looked at Yuxi, and said, "Madam, do you think Yucheng can be held?"

Yu Xi nodded without thinking,

Said: "Yucheng will definitely be able to defend, and I believe that Yunqing must also be thinking of ways to retreat from the enemy in the dark."

Zijin nodded heavily and said, "Well, Yucheng will definitely be able to hold it." As for Yuxi's last sentence, Zijin automatically ignored it. Sometimes Zijin felt that her master had blindly worshiped Yunqing!

Yu Xi looked at Xu Wu, and said: "Out of the one hundred guards in the mansion, you leave ten of them, and the others go and transport the food stored in the school and wine shop to the city wall." Did not mention. With all the food, there is no need to worry about pots and firewood.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give the order."

Zi Jin and Xu Wu both went down, and Yu Xi called for Mrs. Yu who was in charge of cleaning. Seeing Mrs. Yu, Yuxi asked: "Mom, are you afraid of death?" Mrs. Yu was the first person Yuxi bought. Those who can sell themselves as slaves are those who have no children and no worries in their families.

Madam Yu looked at Yuxi and said, "Madam, just tell me what you want!" As long as she can do it, she will not refuse.

Yuxi said: "I heard from Xu Wu that the casualties were heavy this time. There are so many wounded soldiers that the military doctors can't handle them. So, I want to ask my mother to take other people in the mansion to treat the wounds of those wounded soldiers." She The rough envoys in the mansion are all experienced. Helping to deal with the wound is getting twice the result with half the effort.

Granny Yu's husband and children were killed in battle, so she didn't hesitate to help those wounded soldiers, she nodded and agreed, "I'll let them go with me."

Yu Xi made such an arrangement, except for the three mothers who couldn't live without her body, and two half-grown maids, everything else was arranged. And Yuxi herself was not idle, and went to the pharmacy to prepare some medicines to stop bleeding. Of course, Yuxi can only prepare relatively simple hemostatic medicines, and she can't prepare any complicated ones. But at this juncture, simple hemostatic drugs are extremely scarce.

Seeing Yuxi busy there, Mother Qu was extremely disturbed. But she can't say not to let Yuxi do things, after all, it's the moment of life and death: "Madam, if you are tired, take a rest, you can't be brave." You can't live in peace with a big belly, what's the matter!

Yuxi said: "Don't worry, mom, I will do what I can." With the help of two little maids, she just needs to stand and dispense the medicine, and she doesn't feel too tired.

Zijin thought that she would have to spend a lot of time to persuade everyone, but she didn't expect that those people knew his reason for coming, agreed without saying a word, and then went to mobilize other people. Soon, a group of people was assembled.

When these people came out of the house, they either carried pots or firewood, and some even carried food and vegetables, and none of them came out empty-handed.

Looking at these people, Zi Jin finally understood the meaning of Yu Xi's words. Looking at them, Zijin also has the confidence to defend Yucheng.

Half an hour later, these women, children, and old people followed Zijin to the outskirts of the city wall. With so many people coming over, Qin Zhao who was standing on the city wall was immediately alarmed.

Qin Zhao went down the city wall, looked at a group of women, and asked, "What are you doing here? Isn't this the place you should come to?"

Zijin said something intentional: "We can't help in the war, but we can cook and take care of the wounded. With us here, we can ensure that the soldiers can have hot meals at any time."

Qin Zhao's expression changed immediately: "Do you know where this place is? You brought so many women and children here, did you ask them to come and die?"

Zijin was not afraid of Qin Zhao. Hearing this, she said with an unfriendly expression: "If Yucheng is captured, do you think they will survive? Besides, don't look down on women. Women are sometimes stronger than you men .” At least few men can beat her.

Qin Zhao didn't talk nonsense with Zijin, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Drive them all away." It was all Tim's fault.

Before Zijin could resist, General Zhao walked down from the city wall, looked at Zijin, and said, "Who are you?" You didn't look like an ordinary person.

Zijin said: "I am from Yunfu. It is also my wife's idea to let these women, children and old people come to help. My wife said that one person's power is limited, but as long as the soldiers and people of Yucheng unite to fight against the enemy, they will definitely be able to wait until the end of the war." The reinforcements were brought in. It's a pity that my wife is pregnant, otherwise she would have come to help." Her wife never missed her words.

Qin Zhao's complexion changed slightly when he heard this.

General Zhao was extremely surprised, he knew that Yunqing's wife was not a simple one, but he did not expect that the Han family would have such vision and courage, he really should not be underestimated. Qin Zhao was young and couldn't see the role of these people, so he still didn't know. At that time, in the most difficult time, it was carried by the soldiers and civilians wholeheartedly. It's just that in the past twenty years, although wars have been fought frequently, there is no danger of breaking the city as it is now.

General Zhao said to Qin Zhao, "Let them stay, they can help." Seeing that Qin Zhao wanted to deny it, General Zhao shook his head and said, "We don't have many bows and arrows, so we have to find other ways." Almost half of it has been lost. If this continues, there will be no more bows and arrows. At that time, there will be more casualties.

Zijin said: "If there is anything that can help, General Zhao just say it." As for Qin Zhao, Zijin despises Qin Zhao.

General Zhao said: "Boiling water and oil, lime and big stones, etc., you can use as many as you want." In terms of effect, rolling logs and rocks are more effective. It's just that most people can't do this.

Zijin understood, and said, "I will mobilize more people to help." There are only more than 50,000 soldiers in Yucheng, but there are also tens of thousands of people in Yucheng. Everyone is mobilized, and they will definitely wait for reinforcements to arrive. She has this confidence.

In fact, before Yuxi asked Zijin to call people to help, many people had already come to help, but there was no one with appeal to call everyone. Now the Zijin convener, everyone who got the news came to help. As Yuxi said, if you can do your part to keep Yucheng, no one wants to sit and wait for death.
