The Xu family left Yucheng overnight. This may be a relatively secret thing for ordinary people, but for people like Yuxi, it will soon be known. When Yuxi heard the news, she frowned and said, "Whose other family member has 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."
When Yuxi heard this, she asked, "Did the Fu family and the Zhao family's female relatives have also left?" She was more familiar with these two families.
Xu Wu nodded and said: "The Fu's grandma left Yucheng with her two daughters the day before yesterday. The Zhao's Madam Zhao did not leave, but Zhao's grandma left with the children." Nowadays, the wife took the children and left. No one can blame it.
Yuxi said softly, "This is not the way to go on!" Yuxi couldn't say that it was wrong for these women to leave with their children, but the impact that this had caused was very bad. The more in the moment of crisis, the more people have to huddle together, and only everyone can get through the crisis with one heart. But these officials' wives left with their children, and those with financial resources and access must also go, and those who stayed could not leave.
Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, those who can escape will have escaped long ago, and will not stay until now." Not everyone is like her wife, who is willing to stay if she knows that there is danger.
Yuxi thought for a while, and said to Xu Wu: "Can you call all the people in the city together and let them help resist the Northern Captive Army?"
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 Captives?"
Yuxi said: "There are so many soldiers in the barracks, they are definitely going to eat. Women, children and the elderly in Yucheng cannot go to the battlefield, but they can cook. In addition, the elderly women and children can also take care of the wounded."
Xu Wu said: "Madam has a good idea, but these people may not be willing." This kind of thing usually requires the call of someone above, and they don't have the ability to have this heart.
Yuxi knew Xu Wu's scruples, but it was not her principle to give up before doing it. After thinking for a while, Yuxi said to Zijin: "Zijin, this matter is left to you. You can summon as many as you can!"
Zijin was taken aback, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to guard my wife here." At this moment, how dare she leave Yuxi.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "You have been in the school for a long time, and those children who have helped you know you. Go and tell their parents that it will be easier for them to help." Seeing Zijin hesitated, Yuxi smiled and said, "Go, I'll be fine in the mansion." It was also because she had a big belly, otherwise she would do it herself.
Seeing that Zijin hadn't agreed yet, Yuxi said, "You know, once the city is broken, everyone's life will not be saved." As long as this head is opened, Yuxi believes that many people will automatically join in. Those who stay in Yuchengli, no one wants to see Yucheng being breached. Once the city is broken, everyone's lives are in danger.
Zijin couldn't help but agree.
Yuxi said: "When you go to find these people, tell them that reinforcements will be available within half a month. As long as we hold on for half a month, we can defend the city."
Zijin hesitated and said, "Is it useful?"
Yuxi nodded and said: "It's useful. A person's power is limited, but as long as everyone unites and fights against the enemy, we will definitely be able to defend Yucheng." If I don't have this confidence, how can I convince others.
After hearing this, Zijin thought for a moment, looked at Yuxi, and said, "Madam, do you think Yucheng can hold it?"
Yuxi nodded without thinking, and said, "Yucheng will definitely be able to defend it, and I believe that Yun Qing must also be trying to retreat from the enemy in the dark."
Zi Jin nodded his head and said, "Well, Yucheng will definitely be able to hold it." As for Yuxi's following sentence, Zi Jin automatically ignored it. Sometimes Zi Jin felt that her master had blindly worshipped Yun Qing!
Yuxi looked at Xu Wu and said: "There are a hundred guards in the mansion, you leave ten people, and the others are going to transport the food in the school and the wine shop to the city wall." As for the pot and firewood, Yuxi is rooted. Did not mention. When the food is available, there is no need to worry about pots and firewood.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to order now."
Both Zijin and Xu Wu went down, and Yuxi called in wife Yu who was in charge of the 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 at home.
Madam Yu looked at Yuxi and said, "Madam, let me know if you have any orders!" As long as she can do it, she won't refuse.
Yuxi said, "I heard from Xu Wu that the casualties were high this time. There are so many wounded soldiers that the military doctors can't handle. Therefore, I want to ask my mother to take other people in the mansion to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers." The few rough ladies in the mansion are all experienced. Help deal with the wound and get twice the result with half the effort.
Yu's husband and children died in the battle, so she didn't hesitate to help the wounded soldiers. She nodded and said, "I will let them go with me."
Yuxi made such an arrangement, except for the three mothers who couldn't live without, and two and a half old maids, everything else was arranged. And Yuxi himself was not idle, and went to the pharmacy to prepare some hemostatic medicine. Of course, Yuxi can only configure simple hemostatic drugs, no matter how complicated she is, she can't help it. But at this juncture, simple hemostatic drugs are also extremely scarce.
Mother Qu was very disturbed seeing Yuxi being busy there. 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 break, you can't be brave." If you have a big belly, you can't live in peace, what's the matter!
Yuxi said: "Mother don't worry, I will do what I can." There are two little maids to help. She just needs to stand and dispense medicine without being too tired.
Zijin thought it would take a lot of words to move everyone, but he didn't expect those people to know his intentions, and agreed without saying anything, and then went to mobilize other people. Soon, a group of people were assembled.
When these people came out of the house, they either carried the pot or the firewood on their backs, and some even carried food and vegetables, and none of them came out empty-handed.
Looking at these people, Zijin finally understood the meaning of what Yuxi said. Looking at them, Zijin was also confident to defend Yucheng.
After half an hour, these old women and children followed Zijin to the periphery of the city wall. So many people came and immediately alarmed Qin Zhao who was on the wall.
Qin Zhao went down the city wall, looked at a group of women, and asked, "What are you doing here? Isn't this where you should be?"
Zijin said in the future: "We can't help in the war, but we can cook and take care of the wounded. With us, we ensure that the soldiers can eat hot meals at any time."
Qin Zhao's expression changed at once: "Do you know what place this is? You brought so many women and children here. Did you let them come and die?"
Zijin is not afraid of Qin Zhao. Hearing this, he said with an unkind expression: "If Yucheng is attacked, do you think they are still alive? Besides, don't look down on women. Sometimes women are better than your men. "At least few men can beat her.
Qin Zhao didn't talk nonsense with Zi Jin, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Knock them all away." It was completely chaotic.
Before Zijin could resist, General Zhao walked down from the city wall, looked at Zijin, and said, "Who are you?" He didn't look like an ordinary person.
Zijin said: "I'm from Yunfu. It is my wife's intention to let these women, children and elderly people come to help. My wife said that one person's power is limited, but as long as Yucheng soldiers and citizens unite to fight the enemy, they will be able to wait. The reinforcements were brought. It is a pity that my wife is pregnant, otherwise she will come to help." Her wife’s words have never been missed.
Qin Zhao's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
General Zhao was very surprised. He knew that Yun Qing's wife was not a simple one, but he did not expect that the Han family should have such vision and courage. It really should not be underestimated. Qin Zhao couldn't see the role of these people when he was young, so he didn't know. Back then, in the most difficult times, it was carried over by the military and civilians. It's just that in the past two decades, although there have been frequent wars, there is no danger of breaking the city like it is now.
General Zhao said to Qin Zhao: "Let them stay, they can help." Seeing Qin Zhao want to deny, General Zhao shook his head and said, "We don't have many bows and arrows. We must think of other ways." Almost half has been lost. If this continues, there will be no more bows and arrows. At that time, there will be more casualties.
Zi Jin said, "If I can help, General Zhao, don't hesitate to say it." For Qin Zhao, Zi Jin is nothing to look down on.
General Zhao said: "Boiling water and oil, lime and big stones, etc., you can use as much as you want." In terms of effect, the effect of rolling logs and rocks is even greater. It's just this thing that ordinary people can't do.
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 be able to wait for reinforcements. She has this confidence.
In fact, before Yuxi asked Zijin to convener to help, many people had already taken the initiative to help, but there was no charismatic person to summon everyone. Now Zijin convenes people, and everyone who gets the news comes to help. As Yuxi said, if you can do your part to keep Yucheng, no one wants to sit and wait for death.
ps: There is one more update in the evening, it will be later.
