At night.
Jia Hu met with the five deputy generals and finished their conversation.
Jia Hu left the mansion and headed to the porridge distribution area at the city gate. He only returned to the mansion after the sun had set.
Jia Hu was ready to write another letter to Emperor Wu Yun. The 50,000 soldiers were obviously not united. They could not fight as well if they stayed here.
Now that the commoners outside the city had entered the city one after another, with fresh blood, Jia Hu did not need these fifty thousand soldiers to stay at Yanmen Pass.
Jia Hu wanted to form a group of soldiers to fight against the Tatars, soldiers loyal to him.
Moreover, the food was only enough for the soldiers. Once these 50,000 soldiers left, the food would be saved. If he recruited another 10,000 people to guard Yanmen Pass, the people of Yanmen Pass would be able to survive this year.
Jia Hu also wrote about the fact that he had killed Wang Ziyu. He did not regret it and had written a letter to Emperor Wu Yun in advance. Jia Hu believed that he would not be punished too severely.
In addition, Jia Hu specially wrote in the letter that he needed the Emperor to dispatch more food and grass to rebuild the soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass.
After writing the letter, Jia Hu arranged for people to send the letter to Jingdou as soon as possible.
The next morning.
Jia Hu once again arrived at the city gate.
Looking at the nearly twenty thousand commoners at the city gate, Jia Hu felt a headache. It was difficult to accept such a large number of commoners pouring into Yanmen Pass.
Looking at the commoners below the city tower, Jia Hu felt a dilemma in his heart.
The method of searching his mind really made Jia Hu think of using labor to do it.
Looking at the city walls of Yanmen Pass that were still somewhat damaged from the last battle, Jia Hu smiled.
That's right, he could let these commoners work for him.
Not only could they repair the damaged city walls, but they could also repair the houses.
In this way, he did not have to worry about these people causing trouble.
He did as he was told.
Jia Hu directly returned to the residence, took out a pen and paper, and began to plan.
"First of all, the city walls have to be repaired. If the 50,000 troops leave and the Tartars attack, I won't even have the chance to defend. Right, I have to bring forward the plan to recruit soldiers. I can also start preparing to reclaim the wasteland. I can start sowing next spring.”
"There are also houses. The houses have to be built. Take this opportunity to rearrange the layout of Yanmen Pass.”
"Not bad, Jia Hu. This time, we can completely demolish it and rebuild it.”
Jia Hu secretly boasted.
At daybreak, Jia Hu ran straight to the city gate.
"Jia San, gather everyone together. Young Master wants to give a lecture.”
Jia Hu arranged for Jia San.
"Yes, sir!"
Jia San replied.
After a while, the people outside the city gathered at the city gate.
"Dear fellow villagers, how are you? I am Jia Hu, and I am also the guard general of this Yanmen Pass. I am indebted to everyone for thinking highly of me and coming all the way to Yanmen Pass. I, Jia Hu, hereby promise everyone that once you reach Yanmen Pass, you will be home. You can settle down here and won't be harassed by the Tartars.”
"It's almost winter this year. This general knows that everyone is worried about rations. I, Jia Hu, can guarantee that Yanmen Pass will not give up on any of you. Today, we will still give out porridge.”
Just as Jia Hu said this, the commoners below instantly became noisy.
"If we don't give out porridge, how will everyone live?”
The situation was getting more and more chaotic.
"Calm down!"
Jia Hu shouted loudly, his voice deafening as it reverberated in the ears of this group of commoners.
After the situation stabilized, Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction and continued,
"Everyone, don't worry. Although there will be no more porridge in three days, everyone will still receive food as long as they work. Three days later, I will post a notice at the city gate.”
"However, there is still one more important thing. I will announce that Yanmen Pass is now recruiting soldiers. If you are interested, please register at the city gate later.”
"However, there's one thing that I have to make clear. The age limit for recruiting soldiers is sixteen to thirty years old.”
"Let's be frank. If anyone conceals their true age, I will not be polite and will expel them from Yanmen Pass.”
Jia Hu said sternly.
Although the commoners below the city gate tower heard Jia Hu's harsh words, they were all quite happy. They had come here for Jia Hu himself. Jia Hu was very brave. After defeating the Tartars, no one would worship Jia Hu more than them.
Now, when Jia Hu was recruiting soldiers, even old people who were over a hundred years old wished they could join the army.
Jia Hu looked at the reactions of the commoners below and was delighted. He said,
"Is there anyone among you who knows how to build? I need such talents now.”
Just as Jia Hu finished speaking, four old men walked out from the crowd below.
"This old man is proficient in building construction."
"This old man is the same!"
"This old man is the same!"
...
Although none of them were good at setting up the city walls, Jia Hu was not disappointed. He could also imagine that such a talent would not wander in the wilderness.
With these few, Jia Hu was satisfied.
