Chapter Seventy-Two: Closing the Army

(Thank you to the reader for the red reward of "Huang Liangyi's dream champion".) Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)

The more his feet walked, the more painful he became, and the more familiar he became, before dark, a group of people under Ning Bao'er had already called Xu Ji and Ma Wei brothers, and shook off all the details of the leader.

When Ning Bao'er was more than ten years old, he moved from Jiangdong to Guanzhong with his family, his father died on the way, he just settled, his mother died, and his family fortune plummeted.

Guanzhong has been either drought or flood for several years, and the government's relief is improper, so that the people are in turmoil, Ning Bao'er immediately joined, and soon attracted a group of followers, but the people are few and weak, so he went to seek refuge in Xue Liujia, the king of the world.

Speaking of the incarnation king, everyone was tolerant and did not dare to mention his name and deeds.

Ning Bao'er fought bravely and was good at arranging formations, and soon became an important general in the incarnation army, but his temper was still so irritable, and he would turn his face when he didn't say a word, even in front of the incarnation king, he would not compromise and seek perfection.

At a banquet, all the generals competed for merit, Ning Bao'er was unwilling to live under others, and quarreled with several generals on the spot, and the king of the world was irritable when he heard it, slapped the table and said: "Don't fight or rob, don't you all want to be king?" Okay, I'll let you catch lots and be kings, and if you catch it, you will set off immediately, and you are not allowed to cheat. ”

There are a total of ten kings, and the fiefs of the nine kings are located in the three states of Qin, and, and Han, although they are all official and military territories, at least they are closer, and there is only one king of Wuyue, and the fief looks the largest, but it is thousands of miles away from the army of the descendants.

Maybe it was bad luck, maybe it was calculated, Ning Bao'er drew King Wu Yue, he didn't say a word, took his subordinates out of the customs with a detour, and really wanted to go to Jiangdong to claim the king.

Not everyone is optimistic about this new king, when he was still in Guanzhong, his subordinates had fled more than half, met officers and soldiers on the way, and after several battles, they lost a lot, and finally only more than 20 loyal brothers remained, and they followed them all the way to Mengjin.

They made a living by looting along the way, taking the deserted paths, the news was blocked, they didn't know anything about what was happening in the outside world, they were happy when they heard that the emperor of all things had died, they were happy, they were excited when they heard that the Tongguan River workers rebelled, they were excited, and when they heard that the army of the world had defeated the general in Guanzhong, they were overjoyed, and someone danced on the spot.

Xu Ji and Ma Wei cautiously reminded them that it was a group of chaotic people who defeated the general, not necessarily the descending army, and those people did not listen at all, thinking that there was only the descending army in Guanzhong.

When it was nearly dusk, everyone stopped to rest, Ning Bao'er led people to look for food, and others were in charge of guarding, although the number was small, but it was no different from a normal march.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, Ma Wei rubbed his feet and whispered, "We won't really be a military advisor for him, right?" Speak out and be laughed at. ”

"This man has rules for leading troops to fight."

Ma Wei's eyes widened in horror, but his voice was lowered, "With your and my identities, even if we can't monopolize one side, we have to give advice to an overlord like the Shen family in Bingzhou, Ning Bao'er ......" Ma Wei shook his head, "Even the chaotic people won't allow him, his future is worrying, and he will definitely not be able to reach Jiangdong." ”

"Well, I don't want to stay with him, but I can't escape, it's best to find a way to let him send us to Jinyang."

"Okay, I have a solution, you can follow me later." Ma Wei didn't explain much, continued to rub his feet, and sighed, "I didn't expect that I would be reduced to this." ”

Ning Bao'er brought people back, they chose the deserted roads to walk, far away from the villages and towns, there was no one to rob, so they could only shoot some birds and rabbits to come back to satisfy their hunger.

The rice was made in a hurry, the fire had to be extinguished before dark, the meat was not cleaned up, and it was half-cooked, Xu Ji and Ma Wei only ate a few bites, and they couldn't chew like others, and they were ridiculed a lot.

Taking advantage of Ning Bao'er's good mood, Ma Wei said: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of taking care of it, may I ask what the king plans to do after the river work is collected?" ”

With blood stains on the corners of her mouth, Ning Bao'er said flatly: "Go down the river to the east, first to Huainan, and then cross the river to Jiangdong." ”

"And then?"

"Then I am the king of Wuyue, recruiting troops and horses to consolidate the territory. Why do you ask this? ”

Ma Wei said with a smile: "Since the king left the two of us as military advisors, I can't help but think about the future for the king. ”

Ning Bao'er smiled, there were blood stains on his teeth, and said to his subordinate brothers: "The military advisor I am looking for is good, and he has begun to plan for our future, you can say it." ”

"The whole river work should not be a big problem, leading the army to the east, it will be intercepted by officers and soldiers, and with the prestige of the king, it must be able to break through. When they arrived in Jiangdong, there was a big trouble, the army was in the west, and the king was in the east, separated by thousands of miles, and if there was an accident, it would be difficult for each other to help. ”

"That's right, why don't you squeak?" Ning Bao'er looked at Xu Ji.

Xu Ji already understood Ma Wei's intentions, and said: "What Brother Ma said is extremely true, the so-called lonely tree is difficult to support, and the king needs to make long-term plans. ”

"I am the king of Wuyue, Jiangdong must go."

"Of course, if there is another ally between Jiangdong and Guanzhong, the king will be able to connect with the incarnation king." Ma Weidao.

Ning Bao'er didn't ask any more, silently chewing the half-cooked rabbit meat, Ma Wei and Xu Ji both knew that they needed to shut up at this time, so they didn't speak.

Ning Bao'er gnawed all the meat, threw away the bones, grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed his hands, burped, and said to his subordinates: "Eat quickly, set off overnight tonight." "I actually left the two military advisors aside.

Ma Wei couldn't help but speak, hoping to lead the topic to the Shen family in Bingzhou, so that he and Xu Ji could leave this group of chaotic people as lobbyists.

Xu Ji pulled Ma Wei's clothes, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, Ning Bao'er did not show interest, it is best not to rush to admonish, otherwise, he will be suspicious.

Ma Wei understood this truth, retracted his words, and secretly complained in his heart at the thought of having to travel overnight, thinking that being stranded in the market was the worst experience, but he didn't expect that there would be even worse behind.

Ning Bao'er said that he would go on the road, his subordinates had no complaints, they were used to hardships, the leaders could stand it, they could bear it, only two military advisors suffered, they didn't eat enough, there were blisters on their feet, and they walked in the field blindly with a black light, and every step was like grinding off half a life.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that Ning Bao'er allowed everyone to rest for an hour, and got up before dawn to continue on the road.

After three days of trekking, they finally caught up with the rebellious river workers, on the way, Ma Wei wanted to arouse Ning Bao'er's interest in "Yuanxi" again several times, but they all returned, Ning Bao'er did not answer at all, and occasionally glared, which made Ma Wei tremble for a long time.

Ning Bao'er and his entourage first robbed a few families of fleeing people, had a big meal, and then asked about the situation ahead.

Sure enough, there was a river worker rebellion, the momentum was not small, but two days ago in Tongguan was defeated, scattered and fled, a group of stragglers marched eastward, the towns along the way closed their doors to protect themselves, the villagers have entered the city to take refuge, did not expect to meet thieves in front.

Ning Bao'er showed a brutal side, and after the questioning, he ordered all a dozen people to be killed to prevent their whereabouts from being revealed, and the two "military advisors" did not dare to ask, but they felt more and more in their hearts that it was difficult for this person to achieve great things.

In the evening of the same day, they bumped into the fleeing river workers, and began to scatter, followed by more and more, and even a team of hundreds of people, gathered into a group, followed someone, and was regarded as a force.

Although the rebellion has been less than a month, these people are no longer "good citizens", burning, killing and looting along the way, not only to run fast, but also to grab as much as possible, without the slightest rules.

Ning Bao'er showed some real skills, ordered more than 20 subordinates to sort out the armor, throw away all the useless things, line up in two rows, tie Xu Ji's winter clothes on the handle of the gun to make a banner, and use human blood to scribble the word "Descend" on it, walking in the front, fluttering in the wind.

Ning Bao'er, who set up an ambush without permission, marched openly at this time, and when he encountered scattered river workers, he was all captured alive and incorporated into the army in the name of Xue Liujia, the king of the world.

The three words of the king of the world are quite loud among the people, the river workers have heard of it, they rebelled at the beginning, and they also played this banner, they originally wanted to cooperate with Guanzhong, but they were defeated by the official army, so they heard that this team was sent by the king of the world, and they joined one after another, and some were reluctant, seeing that these soldiers were clearly armored, they did not dare to resist.

Ning Bao'er didn't say much to herself, and asked her brothers to hint to the new joiners that there was a large army behind them, which won more and more popularity, and no one doubted how the descendant army in Guanzhong could run to the east.

The team became larger and larger, and even grabbed a few horses, Ning Bao'er took one, the flag bearer took one, and the two "military advisors" were given preferential treatment, and each got one.

The saddle on the horse is incomplete, and it is quite uncomfortable to ride, but for Xu Ji and Ma Wei, it is tantamount to a long drought and nectar.

In the middle of the night, Ning Bao'er had gathered hundreds of people, and he ordered a halt to the army, and set up a march in the wilderness, with his subordinates leading the river workers, exchanging names and places of origin with each other, and swearing to follow.

Xu Ji and Ma Wei secretly praised that Ning Bao'er really had some ability, no wonder someone was willing to follow him all the way to Jiangdong.

Ning Bao'er's biggest ability is that he is never chaotic, he is short-tempered, kills without blinking, but when he encounters difficulties, he is calmer than anyone else, and always has a plan, sometimes it is unbelievable, such as taking more than 20 people to attack the small city of Mengjinkou, but he can stabilize the morale of the army and make his subordinate brothers swear allegiance to death.

Not long after the team was reorganized, another group of river workers arrived in front, more numerous and better equipped, unlike many people in Ning Bao'er's team who didn't even have weapons.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, testing each other with words, Ning Bao'er didn't like this kind of thing, and ordered a brother to guard the team, and he broke into the opponent's formation by himself, and wanted to talk to the leader face to face.

The people in the rear were panicked, only Ning Bao'er's brothers were not worried, chatting and laughing, and even ran to the front to dance knives and guns, demonstrating to the people opposite.

It only took less than a quarter of an hour for Ning Bao'er to drive his horse back, and with the two leaders of the other party, he had successfully collected them under his tent.

The number of people was close to 1,000, and Ning Bao'er did not use the army anymore, found a place with water to camp, sent people out to recruit the fleeing river workers, and at the same time surveyed the terrain to see where there were villages and towns that could be captured.

Before dawn, the Ning Violent Army had already taken shape, although it was still a rabble, it was difficult to compete with the official army, at least it had three points of momentum, and it was no longer a scattered and defeated pawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, Ning Bao'er found two "military advisors" and said, "You two catch lots, one goes to Jinyang to find the Shen family to borrow troops, and the other stays to continue to give me ideas." Within half a month, the soldiers of the Shen family arrived, and I named you two as marquises, but if the soldiers arrived, I would kill the sacrificial river who was left. ”

Originally, there was no need to explain it as a "military advisor", but Ning Bao'er understood everything in her heart.
