Daming kill

Chapter 142 Skinny Reality

When the first ray of light appeared on the far horizon, the whistle chief, Micang, opened his eyes that had been squinting, pushed aside the dry grass on his body, and stood up.

After stretching his stiff body for a while, he remembered something again, and hastily covered the twelfth or thirteen-year-old girl with the big ball of withered grass under him.

This little girl is Mi Cang's sister, but not her own sister, she belongs to his uncle's family.

When Mi Cang stood up straight again, old man He got out from nowhere and pointed at Mi Cang's crotch with his finger, and Mi Cang nodded.

So, the two found the edge of the crowd and started booing under a tree.

The forest was very quiet, and most people were exhausted after tossing and tossing for most of the night. Although many people did not fall asleep out of caution and the cold, no one moved.

After shushing, old man He looked at the scattered and lying crowd with his head, pulled the rice warehouse to a further place, and then whispered: "Geng Hu kept looking at your girl yesterday when he had nothing to do. Be optimistic."

"Understood, he won't do anything, and there are quite a few of us." Micang didn't take it too seriously.

"You are the whistle chief, but he is just a captain. Do you think he has a little respect for you? You'd better be careful." Old man He was obviously very worried.

"Our whistle is a joke. There are not as many people in one whistle as there are in a team. How can they be willing to respect me as the whistle chief." Mi Cang laughed at himself.

"Then you are also the whistle chief, a formally appointed whistle chief. He is just a captain. You can't listen to him in everything. Besides, we belong to General Zhao's battalion. Your whistle chief is better than his captain." Officials." Old man He was very stubborn.

"But our leader is always Liu Shixiong, who is different from the others. No one has ever looked at us! Don't call me the whistle chief anymore, I am so ashamed." Mi Cang said helplessly.

"You can't be short of yourself, we still point to you to take care of you! In the rebel army, the identity of the sentinel must be more valued. If we are organized into a team, it is more important who will be the leader!" Old man He I'm in a hurry.

Mi Cang took a fixed look at old man He, then smiled wryly and said, "You still have such thoughts! But you have no strength, so what's the use of talking about it? The deserters in Li Shengcai's battalion now respect Geng Hu as their leader. There are more than [-] soldiers. And I counted your sentry and escaped less than [-]. How can you compete with them? As for the other dozens of newcomers, don’t even think about it. They will just wait and see, it’s impossible Participate in the struggle between us for nothing."

Yicang obviously knew the situation long ago, and his words were very smooth and smooth.

"You have to give it a try!" Old man He was still unwilling.

Seeing that old man He still didn't understand, Micang sighed, and then said: "I promised Geng Hu that he would be his subordinate. Otherwise, why do you think Geng Hu can allow me, who is nominally superior to him, to be up to now ? Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll be dead already!”

Old man He finally froze and didn't respond for a long time.

When Mi Cang saw that Old Man He couldn't say anything more and was about to walk back, he was stopped by Old Man He again.

He only heard the old man say a little excitedly: "It's like this, you have to be more careful about your sister!"

Mi Cang turned around, hesitated for a moment, then took old man He's hand and said: "It's okay, Geng Hu won't be stupid for a while. He still expects our people to give him a better future when he joins the rebel army! This is his I am willing to believe the reason for my promise. If I have no soldiers under my command or if you don’t listen to me, even if I swear that he will not tolerate me. As for the fact that we can have a battalion after joining the rebel army, it’s hard to say, and there is no way for the rebel army to accept me. Yuemo won't let him mess around."

Old man He's eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief, he smacked his mouth a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Mi Cang thought far more than him, and his calculations were more precise, which made old man He suspect that all the salt he had spent all these years was in vain.

The whistle chief, Micang, was one of Liu Shixiong's two whistle chiefs, and old man He was the slightly slippery little old man of the other whistle.

And Mi Cang's sister is the little waitress in Liu Shixiong's yard. This is one of the important reasons why Mi Cang, who is thin, can become the whistle chief, and because of this, everyone thinks that he can speak to Liu Shixiong.

Otherwise, how could Liu Shinan, an ordinary ancient man in Micang, who has always had a good eye and a high hand, listen to what he has to say.

Using Mi Cang as the whistle chief is also one of the methods Liu Shixiong and his wife are quite proud of to control people, and they both watch Gongdouju.

However, Zhao Meiling didn't know that Liu Shixiong's involvement in the drama was a bit deep, and he secretly touched and harassed the little maids who were generally younger girls in this era several times.

This also made Yicang, who has been wavering, strengthen his determination to escape.

Zuo Liangyu sent troops to Baimadu and the defenders of Fancheng retreated into Xiangyang, which gave Micang a great opportunity.

Because of the coming of the war, the city gates, which were rarely opened during the day, were opened for a long time, especially the incoherent troops leaving the city and the troops entering the city made the management of the city gates messy. , Screening and inspection are quickly useless.

In the face of war, those Qiu Bas are not so patient.

The place where Micang and the others were stationed became chaotic because of Shi Ming Wang Chengwu's departure from the city and the continuous influx of troops from outside the city.

Mi Cang seized this opportunity and took a few close friends to find an opportunity to lure his sister to escape, but unfortunately met old man He who also had the same intention.

As a result, there was only a slight delay, and it was even more unfortunate that more people who were on guard at the same post and brother posts knew about it, and then many people decided to run away together under the influence of the herd mentality.

Fortunately, not everyone knew about it, at least old man He's whistle chief didn't know about it.

Otherwise, it would not be a problem that Liu Shixiong only ran more than one-third of the two sentries of seventy people.

Since there are garrisons on Yanggu Mountain and Xian Mountain, Micang and the others can only pretend to be an army going out of the city to fight and go out of the west gate. The nearest Wanshan, which has no troops stationed, has become their best choice.

Then, on Wanshan, they said that by coincidence, they met Geng Hu, a group of deserters from Li Shengcai's army who were afraid or did not want to fight against the peasant army.

Geng Hu is the captain of a certain sentry in Li Shengcai's army, and he is also a patient with a big neck disease.

When Micang met Geng Hu for the first time, Geng Hu only gathered more than 30 people, and only [-] of them were from the original Li Shengcai camp, and the other dozen were deserters from other troops.

At this time, Geng Hu had just come up with the idea of ​​joining the Peasant Army under the advice of others and made up his mind, so naturally he would not let the unwilling Mi Cang go easily.

Geng Hu needs strength to sell for a good price.

When it was night and there were no more soldiers at the foot of Wanshan, Geng Hu, who had been avoiding and worried about being searched, came alive. He decided to collect deserters to further expand his strength.

Geng Hu has also obviously achieved great success. There are too many deserters who don't want to die and can't run back hidden in the not-so-small Wanshan.

Moreover, Geng Hu was very lucky to find some deserters who also belonged to Li Shengcai's battalion, and these people were naturally willing to listen to Geng Hu.

After talking with Mi Cang, old man He returned to his haystack and was about to cat for a while, but he found Wu Yougen tiptoeing beside him.

Old man He knew Wu Yougen.

In the two days when Liu Shixiong went to Li Ping camp to have fun, Wu Yougen was among the people who brought meals to old man He and the others, and the two even exchanged a few words.

Because of Wu Yougen's big neck, old man He especially remembers it deeply.

"What kind of person is Captain Geng?" Wu Yougen asked Old Man He's ear.

Wu Yougen had never met Li Shengcai, and he had little contact with Li Shengcai's soldiers. If it wasn't for Mi Cang and old man He who recognized him last night, Wu Yougen would still have to find a chance to run away.

"It's enough for him to join the rebel army. When the time comes, your family will go to farm, and what kind of person he is has nothing to do with you?" Old man He replied casually.

Old man He is not interested in talking about Geng Hu now, he is still in the shock of those words from Mi Cang, that kid always brings him surprises.

Wu Yougen laughed dryly twice, stood up half-side and looked around, and then came to touch the old man's ear again.

"Aren't I clueless? Look at him, he looks fierce, he doesn't look like a good man! There is no certainty when we will see the rebels, it's always good to be careful."

Old man He turned his head and stared at Wu Yougen for a moment, then asked, "You really think so?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? Otherwise, how could I take the risk and tell you this?" Wu Yougen looked swearing.

Old man He rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

Then, he also whispered to Wu Yougen's ear: "Since you are worried, let you people listen to Chief Mi Whistle in everything, and Chief Mi Whistle will definitely protect you."

"Ok!"

Wu Yougen nodded seriously.

Old man He was obviously very satisfied, but after scratching his head twice, he felt that something was wrong.

After reacting, he asked in a low voice: "What a wonderful life you have there! I still don't understand why you ran away, just to farm the land and not want to be home? What! Did you guerrilla kill your relatives or did you do it?" What?."

This question is not a secret, so old man He didn't stick to Wu Yougen's ears.

"How could General Li kill our relatives, you can't talk nonsense." Wu Yougen responded with a basic ability.

In old man He's puzzled eyes, Wu Yougen sighed and said a little embarrassedly: "General Li is good, but he is going to run for his life, so he won't care about ordinary people like us at that time. I'm the only one left in our Wu family." That kid is an empress, and he is not allowed to be a rebirth. For the sake of incense, I really can't stand the toss."

"What about them?" Old man He was noncommittal to Wu Yougen's explanation.

"I've lived my whole life, I really can't let go of it! Besides, the rebel army is better than the official army! Of course, except for General Li." Wu Yougen continued to sigh.

Old man He said "oh", then frowned and said, "If I were in your camp, I would not leave. Good or bad, what you see with your own eyes is the truth, and you can't count the others. "

Wu Yougen was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then looked at Old Man He in astonishment.

……

At this time, in the mountains southwest of Wanshan, a long team was also heading south along the valley.

Although they were rushing all the time, and although the Peasant Army did not take any further military action this night, it was still almost dawn when Li Ping and Song Baolai met.

But in the end everything went well.

This is thanks to the solid training at the beginning, otherwise, if we rush in such a dark night with such a strong enemy, the army will have various problems even if it does not collapse.

Looking at the bright light in the sky, Song Baolai, who finally had time to ride alongside Li Ping, said a little embarrassedly: "More than 20 people in my camp have escaped."

"Ah! What's the matter?"

Tired and drowsy, Li Ping turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Actually, ever since I asked everyone to pack up their things and prepare to run, people's hearts have been a little unstable, and many people have been talking about it. But at that time, I didn't take it too seriously. I just took it as a normal reaction. Unexpectedly, I received As soon as we were about to leave the villa after you told us to leave quickly, someone started running away. If Malan hadn't reacted quickly and decisively and killed two deterrents, there would probably be more people running away." Song Baolai said depressedly .

Li Ping was silent for a while, and then asked: "Who are all the people running?"

"Most are locals from Xiangyang, and most of them are family-based, but there are also single ones." Song Baolai replied.

"Are they running in groups, or are they running separately?" Li Ping asked again.

"There are all of them. But those who are single should not run alone."

Song Baolai's answers have always been smooth, and he has obviously done some research.

Li Ping let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "This is early thinking! We are all careless."

"Yeah! It's all my fault. Why are you so paralyzed. If you had taken measures earlier, there wouldn't be such a big problem." Song Baolai was full of guilt.

Li Pingqiang patted Song Baolai on the shoulder energetically and said: "It's hard to leave the homeland. Even if you know about this kind of thing in advance, there is no good way. Don't blame yourself. Let them go!"
