"The most urgent thing is to find out how many Huns there are!"
"If it's just one or two teams of rangers, that wouldn't be surprising."
"Ha!" Wang Yuan laughed coldly, "Zhao Erhu, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If it was just one or two teams of rangers, would Pharmacist Li have to rush eight hundred miles?"
"The situation on the front lines is clearly critical. This is just an urgent warning from 800 miles away!"
"We must prepare for the worst."
"Bang!"
Before Wang Yuan finished speaking, Sima Dazhong slammed the table, jumped up, and said in a muffled voice:
"Fuck you, what the hell is this loser Yan Batian doing?"
"How did the Huns get here?"
"Have we ever withheld even a bit of food and supplies from the front lines over the years?"
"Everything is in excess supply. We provide whatever is needed. This is to allow Yan Batian and the soldiers on the front lines to have no worries and fight against the Xiongnu with peace of mind."
"What's the result?"
"All my good intentions were wasted, and the Huns actually reached Jingzhou!"
Sima Dazhong was extremely indignant.
The Huns were brutal and cruel, leaving no grass growing wherever they passed.
The Central Plains suffered greatly.
Therefore, in order to resist the Huns, there was an unwritten rule among their clan.
You can do anything you want, but you can't touch the supplies of the soldiers on the front line.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong and the Huns come in, your family members will have to roll over to fill the line.
It was for this reason that the Great Zhou was able to station 300,000 people on the Great Wall defense line all year round, build densely packed fortresses, and maintain the Great Wall defense line for fifteen years.
The purpose was to stop the Huns' troops in the You and Bing areas and prevent them from damaging the heartland of the Central Plains.
But now.
The Huns actually broke in???
Doesn't this mean that all the money they've invested over the years is worthless, like they were completely taken advantage of?
Cui Shu's tempers also flared up, and he sternly scolded, "Is Yan Batian any good?"
"If it doesn't work, change someone else!"
"Don't drag the people of the entire Great Zhou into paying for his dereliction of duty!"
“…”
The small courtyard suddenly became lively, with scolding and jeers coming one after another.
The nine old trolls kept trolling for half an hour before they stopped.
Xie Xuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said worriedly, "Everyone, now is not the time to complain."
"The most urgent thing is what to do!"
Chen Xi frowned and uttered one word: "Move!"
"You can't put all your eggs in one basket."
"Let the people below clean up first, take away all the valuables, including the land deeds and house deeds. If you can sell them, do so as soon as possible."
"Also, we should explore the Xiongnu's strength and potential for peace talks to reduce the losses of all families."
“…”
Listen to what Chen Xi said.
Everyone nodded repeatedly, thinking that this was the only way to do it.
Let’s minimize the losses first.
After this disaster is over, we will hold Yan Batian accountable!
And that female tyrant.
Why send all the troops from Jingzhou to provide support for no reason?
The Great Zhou always has so many imperial guards on hand just to defend Jingzhou.
If Jingzhou could have 70,000 to 80,000 people stationed there, they would be able to sit back and relax, without any worries.
But you only have 10,000 people now, and you can’t even fill up the city walls. What’s the use of them?
That night.
Everyone in the family started to move.
This also alarmed the people in the whole city.
At dawn.
The news has changed from "the Xiongnu may launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou" to "a million-strong Xiongnu army is coming to capture Jingzhou City!"
Before the Huns arrived, everyone in Jingzhou was already shrouded in deep despair.
