Chapter 65: A Lot of Joy and Freedom from Sorrow

Sixty-fifth A lot of joy and a lot of sorrow

Nearly 4,000 miners, with a hint of fright, followed He Dadou into the gate. They also saw the scene just now, and the Black Wind Army's welcome to them was also pompous and pompous.

As the commander of the Black Wind Army, Wang Qiang personally brought the high-level generals of the Black Wind Army to the scene, which shows how much attention and care they attach to their group of mining slaves.

After a while, Du Xiaosan, who had not spoken, looked at the black and pressing crowd and passed in front of him, but the smile on his face disappeared and gradually became solemn.

He asked Zhao Qingshan beside him: "Third Senior Brother, there are so many people, but they are all eating mouths, and now the food in the army is also very nervous!

"I have already arranged this matter, as long as there is no accident, it will not take ten days to get eighty carts of food. ”

After Zhao Qingshan finished speaking, he glanced at Du Xiaosan, and said: "Tomorrow in Guanping City, there will be a group of grain collection teams that will go to Jiangbian Town to collect grain and grass for eighty truckloads of military rations. Therefore, this is also just the right time, giving our army an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

When Du Xiaosan heard what he meant, he was going to rob the military rations, and he was shocked. He said: "This is a blatant provocation of Li Tengfei's ability to bear! Can you think twice before you act..."

"Hehe, angry...... Don't you have to worry too much about this, the so-called soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, and you will eventually be able to hide from it. ”

Du Xiaosan still wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhao Qingshan, he had a confident look, and it was difficult to say anything.

When Wang Qiang saw Du Xiaosan like this, he said: "Mr. Zhao, everything has been arranged, led by General Li, and we will set off tonight and set up traps along the way, so as to rob the grain in one fell swoop." ”

"When did you get this news back?"

Qiao Lanyi, who was standing on the side, listened to their conversation, and at this time, her face was a little puzzled.

Li Jin saw that she was puzzled, so he asked her: "Two days ago, General Xu Shen, who was in the city, came back in person and said, what's wrong Sanniang?"

Qiao Lanyi didn't pay attention to him, but turned her head and asked Wang Baoshan next to her, "General Wang, what do you think?

Wang Baoshan was also a little puzzled when she asked suddenly, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Qiao Lanyi's strange words may be related to the three people who escaped from the coal kiln that night, and asked her: "Sister Lan said, isn't it those three people?"

Qiao Lanyi nodded and said, "It's possible, otherwise why did we just rescue it, and there was a news of grain transportation in the city, you must know that last year's drought caused a lot of people to starve to death, where did so much food come from?"

The conversation between the two of them made everyone around them look at them suspiciously. Zhao Qingshan hurriedly asked them the reason, and said that the matter was very important, and asked Qiao Lanyi and Wang Baoshan to explain the matter in detail.

Qiao Lanyi also talked carefully about the rescue operation in Bishan this time. I also talked about my own opinion, and felt that the news I brought back this time was very likely to be fake.

When Li Jin heard this, his face became more and more ugly, and he didn't know what to think about in his heart.

Zhao Qingshan looked at Li Jin like this, where he didn't understand his thoughts, it was nothing more than afraid of losing this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and said: "General Li, the truth of this matter is true or false, let's find out first, and then make a decision!"

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, how many days can you eat the food in the army now?" Li Jin listened, pulled his face, and turned his head to ask Du Xiaosan.

Du Xiaosan saw that he was unhappy, and it was not good to make him unhappy again, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "Originally, the army could barely survive more than 20 days, but now with them, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive ten days." ”

After Li Jin heard this, he said with some heartache: "Thirty days, you see that after ten days, we don't need Li Tengfei to trouble us, we are all starving to death......

After speaking, he also yelled at Du Xiaosan angrily: "As a quartermaster in the army, you are short of food and clothing in the army, what do you do, what do you usually do?"

Du Xiaosan originally told the truth, where did he know that this Li Jin would suddenly get angry with himself, and he was reprimanded by him for a while, and he couldn't hold back the fire in his heart, and said: "What do I usually do, what do I have to do with you General Li, the big and small matters in the army, what else has your dignified General Zuo done besides making trouble?"

"You... Little rabbit cub, I'm impatient, just tell me like this......" When Li Jin heard this, he became more and more angry, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to give Du Xiaosan a little color on the spot.

"General Li, what do you mean by this?" Before he could make a move, he was stopped by Qiao Lanyi.

"Hmph...... I think I, Li Jin, used to be the fourth master on the Black Wind Ridge, when did I have a nest today, and I was looked down upon everywhere......"

Li Jin finished speaking, and brushed his sleeves away.

The rest of the people were all depressed when he made such a fuss.

Wang Qiang wanted to chase him so that he could say something good to him and persuade him, but he was stopped by Zhao Qingshan with his eyes, and he had no choice but to give up.

Wang Baoshan, who was on the side, was also depressed, but Jin Ling'er suddenly said: "This person is arrogant, and he will inevitably be a scourge in the future." ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve, signaling her to pay attention to the occasion when she spoke, and stop just trying to be quick talking.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Qiao Lanyi is also the third leader in the Black Wind Ridge, and she can understand Li Jin's behavior, but when she heard Jin Ling'er say this, she was also puzzled, and asked her: "Miss Jin, how do you say this?"

Wang Baoshan didn't wait for Jin Ling'er to speak, so he stopped her and hurriedly said, "Sister Lan, she is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously..."

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Jin Ling'er was also annoyed when he snatched him away.

On the way back to Heifengling, the two of them often scolded each other, which made Qiao Lanyi a little headache, and at this time, seeing that the two of them were about to make trouble again, she shook her head, and she didn't ask Jin Ling'er anymore.

The rest of the people, who didn't know the inside story, thought that this Jin Ling'er was the little daughter-in-law that Wang Baoshan was looking for during this time, and everyone looked lively.

Some people think that this Wang Baoshan is really lucky, when he meets such a good girl, he doesn't cherish it, and he makes other little girls angry. Some people, watching the excitement, don't think it's a big deal, so they blow the wind in Jin Ling'er's ears, saying that Wang Baoshan likes to manage the east and the west, and prefers to manage his own women.

Jin Ling'er didn't explain what she said about this, and she kept asking those people who were doing good things about Wang Baoshan.

But what disappointed her was that the rest of the people didn't know about the inner screen. After all, Wang Baoshan, who is usually very low-key, except for a few people who know each other, other people are still very strange to him.

Wang Baoshan was so troubled by her, he was even more embarrassed, and said goodbye to everyone on the spot and was about to leave.

Jin Ling'er saw that he was leaving, so she hurried to chase after him.

The two of them walked one after the other, threw down the crowd, and left. provoked the people who watched the excitement in the back, and they laughed for a while.

Qiao Lanyi saw everyone making a commotion, so she said to Du Xiaosan: "General Du, don't be angry, General Li is also angry for a while, and it will be fine after that." ”

"Yes, third brother, you see that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are so good, you and I should be happy for them! Wang Qiang also came over to comfort him.

When all the mine slaves entered the fortress and besieged the city, Wang Qiang took Du Xiaosan and went to take charge of the aftermath.

And the other sergeants went back to their respective camps and went about their own business.

The resettlement of nearly 4,000 people was more unexpected than the originally prepared arrangement, which made Wang Qiang, Du Xiaosan and others unexpected.

In addition to arranging food and accommodation for so many people, we also have to solve the problem of clothing for them, and those tattered clothes must not be worn anymore and must be thrown away.

There are also mining slaves, who have been working all year round, have become sick from hard work, and they still need to be treated and conditioned quickly, and some of them also need to be enlightened spiritually...... And so on, all the more, complicated and busy.

Although everything is like a mess and a headache, they are busy and happy at the same time. Because after the successful completion of this rescue operation, Qiao Lanyi and others not only brought back nearly 4,000 people, but also all kinds of metal ores and tools, and even an astonishing amount of gold, which are all a lot of treasures.

Of course, what is more important is the more than 5,000 weapons and equipment, with these people and weapons, the strength of the Black Wind Army can be greatly improved.

Compared with the original more than 1,000 people, there are fewer people, fewer weapons and equipment, and even a decent weapon is not enough to be distributed, and it needs to be used in turns every time.

Now these problems will be solved, so that Wang Qiang and others are not happy.

For this reason, Zhao Qingshan made arrangements for Wang Qiang, Du Xiaosan and others as early as five days ago, with the news that Qiao Lanyi sent someone to bring back first.

said that as soon as Qiao Lanyi and the others' team arrived, they would hold a celebration banquet. He also said that this was not only to reward the soldiers, but also to show the miners how the Black Wind Army treated their soldiers, so as to buy people's hearts.

Wang Qiang and Du Xiaosan, and Wu Lao, who had asked the room in advance, made sufficient preparations for this celebration banquet for the miners according to the standard of five steamed buns, a bowl of rice soup, and a plate of meat and vegetable chowder per person.

But when it came to the end, he found that it was far from enough, and there was no way, so Du Xiaosan had to let people open the kiln again, and carried out the hundreds of baskets of wild fruits inside.

These various kinds of fruits, but a few years ago, in order to prevent famine, they were specially picked from the forest in the back mountains and stored in the kiln. They have been reluctant to eat it, and they have stored it until now, but fortunately, it is cool and dry in the kiln, and most of the wild fruits have only become dried fruits, which can still be eaten.

With these wild fruits, I can barely make up a decent meal, which is better than nothing.
