Chapter 380 Zhang Ning: Su Yu's child must be very smart!
"Husband, I'm scared!"
Zhen Mi shrank closer to Su Yu's arms.
Su Yu lowered his head and pecked Zhen Mi on the cheek.
Afterwards, he comforted Zhen Mi.
After leaving the bedroom, Su Yu went to the main hall.
Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Madam Zhang (Zhen's mother), Zhang Ning, and Zhang Tong were all waiting in the main hall to give Su Yu orders.
“Young Master Su, my Zhen family still has about eight hundred servants available in Wuji County.”
"The remaining thousand or so servants are scattered among caravans in various places and are unable to return for the time being."
Zhang took the initiative to introduce Su Yu to the manpower of the Zhen family caravan that was currently in Wuji.
Su Yu nodded:
"Eight hundred retainers, though not as many as a regular army, are at least able to use some weapons, which is enough."
Upon hearing this, Zhang's face showed anxiety.
"I've heard that Yu Du has over ten thousand men under his command..."
"Relying on only eight hundred servants, isn't that a bit..."
Su Yu waved his hand and smiled:
"The eight hundred retainers are only the core force of our battle."
"In addition to the eight hundred servants, we also have an assistant."
"Please, Madam, no, Mother-in-law, please prepare some copper coins and grain immediately. In a little while, have the servants distribute the money and grain to the people of Wuji."
When Su Yu addressed her as "mother-in-law," a blush crept across Zhang's face.
Judging from this, Su Yu will definitely treat Zhen Mi well in the future.
If they can get through this ordeal, the Zhen family will prosper.
I don't know.
Su Yu's address to his mother-in-law wasn't just for Zhen Mi alone, but for all five of them.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
At present, following Su Yu's instructions, Zhang quickly prepared a large amount of money and grain.
Although the Zhen family's fortunes have declined and their social status is low.
But it cannot be denied that the Zhen family is truly wealthy!
And they are extremely efficient.
Su Yu ordered his eight hundred servants to distribute the money and grain to the people in the city.
And tell the people that protecting Wuji is protecting their own property and land!
Otherwise, if Yu Du leads the Black Mountain bandits into Wuji, the entire Wuji will surely be wiped out!
The people of Wuji were moved to tears on the spot.
If Yu Du's only purpose was to seize the Zhen family's property, most people would probably choose to remain indifferent.
After all, the norm is to mind one's own business and not get involved.
But it's clear that, given Yu Du's nature, while robbing the Zhen family, he definitely won't let go of anyone else in Wuji City!
Therefore, the common people, gentry, and a small number of powerful families in Wuji were quickly united together.
Nearly 30,000 people were employed by Su Yu.
(Except for remote areas, the population of county towns in the late Han Dynasty was generally between 20,000 and 40,000. Wuji was located in Ji Province, so a population of 30,000 was quite normal.)
Looking at the people on the city wall, united in their hatred of the enemy, Su Yu smiled with satisfaction.
He certainly didn't want the people to die.
The intelligence scouts have already been dispatched by Su Yu to request reinforcements from Zhao Yun's army, which is closest to Wuji!
As soon as Zhao Yun arrives with the Dragon Cavalry, Yu Du's death will quickly begin its countdown!
Before that, Su Yu needed the support of the people.
They created the impression that Wuji was united in purpose and shared a common hatred for the enemy, which made Yu Du wary.
"You're amazing."
"If I were as intelligent as you, the Way of Peace would have been revived long ago."
Zhang Ning looked at Su Yu with a face full of admiration.
Looking back, she realized how stupid she was, really, really stupid!
After preaching for so many years, they only amassed a little over a thousand followers, all of whom were wiped out by Zhang Yan.
With a little strategy, Su Yu mobilized the entire population of Wuji.
"Ning'er is joking."
"Su's actions were merely a matter of taking advantage of the situation."
Su Yu smiled slightly.
As the sun set, the last rays of sunlight shone on Su Yu's face, leaving Zhang Ning momentarily stunned.
Then, Zhang Ning turned around and said to Zhang Tong:
"Uncle Dong, I remember you once said that children often inherit the combined wisdom of both parents, right?"
Zhang Tong responded:
"exactly."
“Ning’er, you are also very smart, but you were born at the wrong time. Otherwise, you might not be inferior to your cousin (referring to Zhang Jiao).
Zhang Ning clenched his fist and made up his mind:
"Uncle Dong, I want to marry Su Yu!"
"In this way, the children I have with him in the future will definitely be very smart!"
"I want him/her to inherit the Way of Peace and continue to work hard for the great cause of missionary work!"
Zhang Tong: "!!!"
Thus, Zhang Ning set his sights on Su Yu and hoped to create an offspring as soon as possible to inherit Su Yu's wisdom.
……
next morning
Yu Du led nearly 10,000 Black Mountain bandits to the outskirts of Wuji County.
Congratulations, Commander!
"Soon the entire Wuji will be yours!"
Beside Yu Du, several confidants showered him with praise, making Yu Du extremely happy.
"Hahaha, whether I can defeat Wuji depends on my brothers."
"After we take this place, I've decided to let the brothers have three days of fun!"
"Commander is mighty!"
Cheers and shouts erupted behind Yu Du.
The subtext of "enjoying three days of fun" is that they can burn, kill, and loot at will within those three days.
As long as he doesn't cause any major trouble, such as setting fire to the city or doing other outrageous things, he doesn't care about the poison.
This was also a favorite pastime for many bandits and outlaws after they conquered a city.
They didn't have the guts to rob a powerful family.
But when it comes to robbing ordinary people, they are all incredibly ruthless.
"Strange, why are there so many soldiers on the city wall of Wuji County?"
Yu Du stared wide-eyed as he discovered a scene that puzzled him greatly.
The Wuji City tower was densely packed with soldiers.
Although those soldiers didn't look like elite troops.
However, their weaponry and equipment are quite good.
Many people even carried bows and crossbows, as if they had long anticipated that Yu Du would come to attack Wuji County.
"It's weird!"
Yu Du was filled with doubt and unease.
"Commander, those are probably just servants of the Zhen family, putting on an act!"
"Watch as I go to the front lines and provoke them, I'll surely throw those servants on the city wall into chaos!"
Beside Yu Du, a bald confidant, carrying a knife, grinned with his big teeth.
"Okay, go and try it out, find out what's really going on in Wuji County." Yu Du agreed.
The next moment, the bald man's confidant strode forward, raising his voice, ready to launch into a tirade.
But before he could utter a single word...
Suddenly, a flying halberd shot out from the city wall!
It hit the bald confidant squarely on the forehead!
The killer was Dian Wei!
In addition to his twin iron halberds, Dian Wei would also carry several short halberds on his back as ranged weapons.
This bald confidant insisted on "stepping forward" to let Dian Wei test the range of the flying halberd.
This is not Dian Wei's fault!
After all, Dian Wei was just an honest and kind-hearted man who loved to eat chicken legs!
