The first day of the first lunar month is the New Year, and the atmosphere in Lincheng, which should have been joyful and joyful, is now filled with solemnity.

Zhu Yongchen, the prefect of Lincheng, came over tremblingly to pay his respects to Yu Wenzhang. He was a little bit shy, because he really couldn't raise the 200,000 slave army at the moment.

Zhu Yongchen said respectfully: "Mr. Yuwen, hello. I'm here to wish you a happy New Year..."

Yu Wenzhang asked him: "How is your slave army doing?"

Zhu Yongchen lowered his head lower: "There is still a part missing..."

Yu Wenzhang scolded him: "Don't give me this set. How much is the difference?"

Zhu Yongchen murmured: "...Only half of it..."

At this point, he took a peek at Yu Wenzhang and found that Yu Wenzhang's face had become very bad and he was about to get angry. Zhu Yongchen was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and cried: "Sir, we have put everything here." We have collected all the prisoners and beggars on the street, as well as the extra slaves from ordinary people’s homes, there is really no one else..."

Yu Wenzhang sneered and asked: "Superfluous slave? Mr. Zhu, it seems you don't understand what I mean..."

"I told you, right? Use all the prisoners, beggars on the street, slaves, anything, to gather an army of 200,000 for me..."

Mr. Zhu wiped away the cold sweat and said, "I said..."

Yu Wenwen patted his shoulder, bent down and spoke word by word in Zhu Yongchen's ear: "The point of this sentence is not to recruit people, but to form an army of 200,000 people, do you understand?

How dare you tell me that you only brought in redundant slaves? ! Um? ! "

Zhu Yongchen was so scolded that he did not dare to speak. Yu Wenzhang continued: "Master Zhu, you must have made some guesses. You must be thinking: There will be a war soon. At this time, I want a slave army of 200,000 from you. , it’s too late to train, and they don’t know anything, so what are they used for?

Let me tell you the truth, this slave army is going to the front line to die.

Prisoners, beggars, slaves and even refugees, not to mention old women at home, women left behind...

With such a large population in Lincheng, can't they gather an army of 200,000 people? Master Zhu, you are really capable..."

Zhu Yongchen was so frightened by Yu Wenwen's words that he trembled. Did Lord Yu Wen mean to use the lives of the entire Lin City people to fill the bottomless pit of this war?

It can't be like this. They are all the people of the Western Wei Dynasty. The food and clothing in the army are still provided by them. When every family sends at least one strong man to join the army, their husbands and sons are also there. What about the army...

Zhu Yongchen tried to intercede with Master Yuwen, but Yu Wenzhang's last words shattered Zhu Yongchen's hope. He said in Zhu Yongchen's ear: "

If you don't get enough, use your whole family to block the Huns' horseshoes. Do you understand? "

Zhu Yongchen collapsed on the ground, his heart filled with despair. He could die for Lin Cheng, but his family could not.

His little daughter was just born, and his son still has a bright future that cannot be ruined by this war...

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. In this case, no wonder he...

Yu Wenwen didn't bother to look at his mournful face. He waved his hands in annoyance and said: "Get out, tomorrow at the latest, and bring 200,000 people to see me after tomorrow."

Zhu Yongchen kowtowed as if accepting his fate: "I will accept my order..."

After saying that, Zhu Yongchen stood up and slowly retreated.

At this time, Zhang Liu happened to walk in and met Zhu Yongchen.

Zhu Yongchen saluted Zhang Liu and then left.

Zhang Liu walked into the tent strangely, poured a glass of water and handed it to Yu Wenwen, then looked at Yu Wenwen and said, "Sir, why are you so angry again?"

Yu Wenwen pinched his temples in frustration and said, "Zhu Yongchen came to pay his respects just now and told me that Lincheng in Nuo Da is not enough to form an army of 200,000 people. Do you believe it?"

Zhang Liu said: "As the prefect of Lincheng, Zhu Yongchen must know how many prisoners and slaves there are. After all, these are all registered.

If he said he couldn't raise enough, he really didn't raise enough. If he really had to raise 200,000 yuan, he would have to use the left-behind people from ordinary people's homes.

But sir, each of their families has at least one strong man who serves as a soldier. Where are there other people in the family?

If you really want to count, it is probably the old men, women and children in the family. After a strong man was born, their family was already poor...

My lord, do we really want them to go to the battlefield? Can't we gather less slave armies? "

Yu Wenwen said coldly: "If the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached. If this battle is defeated, the Huns' morale will greatly increase. Under their iron hoof, even the entire Lincheng will be destroyed, let alone these duckweeds?"

Zhang Liu wanted to say something more, so he said: "But..."

Yu Wenzhang interrupted him and said: "Zhang Liu, you should understand that whether in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Xiongnu, or even in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Nanliang, young adults are the most precious resources.

Next are women and children. Although it is cruel, this is the reality. Children still have a future. They will become young adults and become the backbone of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Women are still able to give birth, and they give birth to the future. But the elderly have not. They have entered their twilight years and have no future.

It was okay in stable times, but now the situation is so unstable and resources are limited or even in short supply, they are just wasting resources by living.

In this war, without an effective way to deal with the cavalry, it was destined to use human lives to fill the Huns' horse hooves.

Do you want to use these precious young men of the Western Wei Dynasty to fill the hooves of the Huns? "

In fact, if we really want to fight hard, there will be 200,000 Northern Patrol Battalion standing guards, 300,000 Lincheng Mansion troops, and about 100,000 Master Yu Wenwen's guards, a total of 600,000 troops.

Facing 300,000 Huns, the Western Wei Dynasty has twice as many troops as them. Even if they fight with their eyes closed and pile them with heads, they will definitely not lose this battle.

Although the Huns are good at cavalry, not all of their 300,000 people are cavalry, and not all of the cavalry are young adults. They also include women, children, etc.

In other words, if they can gather around 100,000 young and middle-aged cavalry, they will be able to break through the sky.

The 100,000 Huns cavalry were just a little troublesome in Yu Wenwen's eyes, but they were not really invincible.

He has his own considerations. How to minimize losses when he is destined to win is what he thinks about.

We can't really wipe out all the young adults in Lin City in one battle...
