Chapter 202, Heading South

Staying away from Lao Chiang's sphere of influence was something Li Shunsheng had already decided, after all, if you want to get enough development in this territory of China, then staying away from Lao Chiang is the best choice.

Originally, Li Shunsheng was going to take his team north, so that he could not only break away from Lao Jiang's sphere of influence, but also be able to help the Eighth Route Army in Yan'an, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Shunsheng still gave up on this rather tempting idea. After all, Lao Jiang is not blind, and with his hatred of Yan'an, it is extremely likely that he will send troops to encircle and suppress it desperately.

To the east was the territory of the Japanese, which belonged to the territory full of dangers, and Li Shunsheng was not so arrogant as to think that he could confront the main force of the Japanese invasion of China.

It was naturally impossible to go west, where the resources could not support the development of Yi Shunsheng's troops, and his indigenous forces would not allow a new force to appear on their territory. Moreover, most of Li Shunsheng's resources need to be transported by sea, and even if he can take root in the northwest land, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, going south is the only option for Lee Sun-sang at the moment.

You must know that after a series of major wars, most of the forces in the south have either been destroyed or suffered heavy losses, and there are large areas of power blank areas for Li Shunsheng to choose from.

In addition, the geographical environment of the south is superior, and there are many mountains and rivers, so it is impossible for the Japanese to easily organize enough troops to carry out a sweep.

Therefore, going south is the best choice for Li Shunsheng.

However, the trip to the south was not so smooth, in addition to various external reasons, more troubles came from Li Shunsheng's entire team itself.

Because there were not only soldiers but also a large number of civilians in his ranks.

The vast majority of these people were refugees from Shanghai and Nanjing, who fled with little hope of being able to do so, and the government was unable to do so, despite its intention to resettle them.

Perhaps out of trust in his country's army, or perhaps because he felt more secure with his troops, when Li Shunsheng's troops were deployed, many refugees followed behind the unaccounted troops, hoping to go to a safe place.

As the saying goes: prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. In this era of war and chaos, these unarmed civilians are the real victims.

Li Shunsheng can't ignore these ordinary people who follow him, but he won't allow these people to become a burden to himself.

And so the next scene begins.

When they saw the soldiers who had been opening the way in front of them to surround themselves, these refugees who had been following Li Shunsheng gathered together one after another, looking at the "murderous" soldiers with extreme vigilance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's make a long story short." Ignoring the restless refugees, the voice of Li Shunsheng, holding a megaphone, echoed between them.

"I don't know why you're following my troops, but now that you've followed, I have to make some things clear."

"First, the purpose of our troops this time is not a safe place, and if you follow us, you may encounter danger at any time. If you want to leave, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”

"Second, if you want to continue to follow us, then you must obey my orders, and if there is disobedience or trouble, don't blame the military law for being merciless."

"The third ,............"

Although Li Shunsheng allowed the refugees to continue to follow him, it did not mean that he would tolerate the existence of hidden dangers.

"Boss, I don't know if I should say something?" A dying old man came to Li Shunsheng on crutches.

"The old man has something to say, please speak." Li Shunsheng looked at the old man in front of him.

"Boss, if you can say these things to us, it means that you care about us."

"The old man also knows that we will cause you a lot of trouble by following the boss."

"The old decay can't run anymore, and it's useless, whether it's dead or alive, there are no regrets in this life."

"I've talked to some old guys."

"We useless old guys stay, and the rest of the young men and children will be left to the boss." After saying this babbling call, the old man gasped slightly.

"But life and death are uncertain with us." Li Shunsheng sighed softly, he didn't know what the road ahead of him was like.

"Life and death are fateful, whether they can survive or not depends on their creation." The old man straightened up.

"The old man is noble." Li Shunsheng arched his hand, he didn't make any promises, and he knew that he couldn't make any promises.
