Chapter 1029 Jiang Zuo League(2/2)
After getting on a boat and leaving Suzhou, the Su family sent someone back to Suzhou to persuade other wealthy households.
Seeing that Yang Xiao kept his word, the people of the Su family were relieved, but no one wanted to follow Yang Xiao's men back. After all, not everyone has the courage to break into the dragon's den and the tiger's den.
In order to save time, Yang Xiao was not polite and picked one up at random and took it back to Suzhou.
With this example, Yang Xiao also explained that the number of large ships in the river was limited, and those who wanted to leave quickly signed up. Those wealthy households who got the news that the rebels had rushed towards them quickly stole the money to buy the way and left.
At the same time, Yang Xiao also seized the time to recruit people. In just one day, more than ten thousand young people signed up. He accepted them all without screening, and sent their families to Taihu Lake along the way.
Time passed very quickly. By the time Fang Xifu led his soldiers and horses to pacify Xiuzhou in the south of Suzhou and led the army to Suzhou City, Wang Yue's soldiers and horses in Suzhou City already numbered more than 40,000.
In addition to the family members transported to Taihu Lake, there were also wealthy households who were out of tune, and many people were deliberately let go. The entire city of Suzhou originally had a population of more than 300,000, but only a few hundred thousand were left.
It's not that Yang Xiao's men have much transportation capacity. In fact, some wealthy households knew that the rebels were coming and didn't need Yang Xiao to send them. After paying the money to buy the way, they took their families and their belongings and organized a group to go north.
In fact, at this time, the soldiers and horses in Wang Yue's hands were already strong enough to compete with Feng Xifo, but thinking of his original plan, he and Yang Xiao opened the city gate and prepared to welcome Fang Xifo.
Fang Xifo was a well-known general in Fang La's army, and he was also knowledgeable. Seeing that Wang Yue's army was in order, he absorbed the idea of taking force and prepared to have a good talk with the Jiangzuo Alliance.
