Chapter 550 rushed to Xinye
Although dressed in civilian clothes, Yao Liang's group of people is still very conspicuous. Because the diet is good, it contrasts strongly with the homeless people around him. In addition, this group of people are all strong men with weapons, and they unconsciously line up in a queue when marching, so they don't look like a team of ordinary people. Therefore, most of the surrounding homeless people avoided Yao Liang and them from a distance.
And Yao Liang and the others also discovered this problem, but there was no turning back when they opened the bow, and they could only move forward with a hard head. As they walked, the number of displaced people increased, and gradually, the group became trapped in the group of displaced people.
Although most of the homeless people still didn't dare to approach Yao Liang and them, there were always a few who dared to come over and ask. In a hurry, Yao Liang claimed that his team opened the cabinet in Nanyang Cottage, and this time he heard that Xinye County was empty, so he went down the mountain to grab food. For this reason, Yao Liang also made a name for himself - the earthquake mountain cannon.
Those homeless people don't have much knowledge, and they can't judge whether Yao Liang is a mountain bandit at all, and in the troubled times, people who want to live longer have to take refuge in the "organization", so it is very logical that some homeless people proposed to Yao Liang and them: to join Yao Liang's team.
Yao Liang and the others combined, and felt that it was not bad to gather some homeless people. At least with the cover of these homeless people, it is not easy for his team to reveal their identities. Besides, the grain in Xinye County still needs to be transported by hand.
As a result, the earthquake cannon was officially opened, but as soon as it was closed, Yao Liang and the others were startled, and the displaced people gathered more than 2,000 people at once. At this time, Yao Liang and the others were a little difficult to ride a tiger, and it was impossible to stop the collection, so they simply opened it up and closed it, anyway, there was no way to count the number of people, but they only knew that their team was getting bigger and bigger. Although it will inevitably affect the speed of some marches, Yao Liang's team has also become huge.
Arrived at Zuihou. Yao Liang: The composition of their team is quite mixed. Some fled, some were coerced, some were brutalized by the officials and soldiers and left their homes, and some were soldiers left behind by the peasant army. There were even a few small bandits who also rushed to Xinye County. Therefore, in this troubled era, there are too many homeless people in chaos, as long as there is a person with some prestige who ascends to the heights and shouts, he can really pull up a team.
When Xinye Zhixian fled the county seat, the well-informed officials and gentry in the city also fled the county seat as soon as possible. As a result, a state of anarchy suddenly appeared in Xinye County.
In the year of war and disaster, the city is always surrounded by many people who want to enter the city. So those victims rushed into the county seat, and together with the scoundrels in the city, they began to wreak havoc and loot.
But at this moment, Haoqiang's grassroots control was reflected. A few large families in the city who did not flee gathered their own families and neighbors to stop this chaotic situation.
Those scoundrels and the victims outside the city are locals. can't make any ruthless moves, plus those heroes in the city reacted quickly, so after a few confrontations, the two sides acquiesced to each other's shili range in the city. The gates of Xinye County were also closed, and the two sides were temporarily peaceful.
But as long as there is a fight. There will be frustrated people. So a few frustrated Qingpi in the city went out of the city to find the nearby peasant army. He promised to open the gates of the city when the peasant army arrived.
It's also a coincidence. At this time, there was no peasant army near Xinye County, so no peasant army leader knew about the chaos in the city. Only those displaced people in the vicinity, after hearing about the situation in Xinye County, wanted to go over and take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie.
With a lot of effort, those Qingpi finally found a battalion of peasant troops in the west of Xinye County, and the leader of that battalion of peasant armies was the king of Guabei. The Gua Bei King is the smaller Shili in the peasant army. Now the number of people is only more than 6,000, and the number of people who can fight is more than 1,000 people, so he did not dare to get involved in the struggle between the main force of the Ming army and the peasant army, let alone get close to any city.
But when the king of melons heard the news from those green skins. Immediately overjoyed. As long as he occupies Xinye County and harvests the food and goods in the city, he will be able to recruit a team again, and his reputation will rise a lot among the peasant army. So the king of melons did not hesitate to drive to Xinye County with his troops.
And Yu Zilian, who was in Dengzhou, when he received the fleeing Xinye Zhi County, he immediately knew that Xinye County was empty. So he immediately gathered the elite 4,000 and rushed to Xinye County with Xinye Zhixian, and the target was also the grain in Xinye County.
Therefore, now there are three troops racing against time towards Xinye County. Fortunately, Yao Liang's army is now closest to Xinye County because it reacts the fastest.
"Brother Yao! That's a bit of a mess, isn't it? I can't control it! Looking at the chaotic homeless people around him, Ye Chao was already a little about to retreat.
Yao Liang also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, to be honest, he was also quite nervous: "It's all come to this point, it's only three or four miles away from Xinye, and there's no way back." We will grasp this point and control the grain in the official warehouse in the city, and we must not lose our own people, because if we have food, we will be able to control people. Also, call me the Great Cabinet. ”
Fu Sheng on the side nodded and said, "Okay!" I will gather some reliable retail investors and increase our strength. But Yao Xiang ...... Big cabinet, the spies just came to report that the city gates have been closed, how can we enter the city? ”
"The spies also reported that there were no soldiers defending the city on the city walls, and it seemed that no thieves had entered the city. We climbed over the walls with ladders and then opened the gates to enter the city. All right! Not much more. All of them came. Remember! Our people must not be separated. After finishing speaking, Yao Liang greeted several homeless people and bandit leaders who had just taken refuge in him.
Those homeless people and bandit leaders were summoned by Yao Liang, and Yao Liang wanted to discuss with them: how to enter the city! What to watch out for when you enter the city!
There is also not so much secular etiquette among these people. After a brief greeting, Yao Liang went straight to the point: "Brothers, since we have all eaten a meal, then we should be in the same boat." How is my old Yao? I don't like to brag in front of the brethren, but the days are long, and you all have eyes. If you think I'm okay, then I'll definitely think of you as a brother; If you think that I am not righteous, then I will not stop you brothers from running for a good future. ”
"We all see the people of the big cabinet! It's good, we follow you and rest assured. Although they didn't know Yao Liang's personality at all, those leaders were still touting Yao Liang in unison, anyway, it didn't take much effort to say a few more good words. (To be continued......)
