When he got up the next morning, Wu Shigong felt a sore back and felt very uncomfortable. However, he still got up stiffly, thinking that he would immediately return to the fortress of the Thousand Households.

In fact, Wu Shigong is now in Guide City, and there is nothing to do. Besides, after seizing so much money, food and materials, Wu Shigong's current mood is like a dragon who has just snatched a lot of gold coins, and he wants to go back to his cave and lie on the pile of gold coins and enjoy such joy.

In addition, Wu Shigong is also a little worried. Although he has great trust in Xue Yongli's ability to do things. However, after all, Xue Yongli only had one hundred and fifty cavalry, and he couldn't take care of so many supplies and prisoners to escort so many prisoners.

Moreover, although the location of the Holy Spirit Society's camp was only a day's away from Wu Shigong's fortress of the Thousand Households. But after all, the vast majority of the rebels were only dispersed by Wu Shigong and them, and the direction in which these rebels fled was the same direction as the direction in which Xue Yongli escorted supplies and prisoners.

In case these fleeing rebels gathered to loot these supplies, Xue Yongli, who only had one hundred and fifty cavalry, would always be in great trouble.

Therefore, after Wu Shigong got up, he immediately gathered fifty guards around him and prepared to leave for the fortress of Qianhusuo.

Seeing Wu Shigong, they were preparing their horses and were about to leave the city of Guide. The housekeeper of the Hou Sui hurriedly stepped forward to save him. Of course, the housekeeper knew his master's hobbies, and he also got Hou Sui's instructions: After Wu Shigong rested today, he would bring Wu Shigong to Hou Sui.

But Wu Shigong replied to the butler, "Thank you for your hospitality." But this official is like an arrow. I am afraid that those chaotic people who fled will threaten the county seat again. So, thinking about going back as soon as possible. Here, I can only apologize to the boss. In the future, when the official has the opportunity to return to Defu City, he must kowtow to the boss and apologize. ”

The reason why the housekeeper listened to what Wu Shigong said was for official business, and he couldn't be reluctant anymore. I could only watch Wu Shigong and his party walk away.

Out of Guide Mansion City, when passing by the camp of the rebels, Wu Shigong saw that the soldiers sent by Guide Mansion City had already cut off the heads of the rebels killed by Wu Shigong and them here in the camp. These soldiers also fished out the corpses floating on the river, and tried to make a head.

Wu Shigong did not entangle with these soldiers. However, on the next road, Wu Shigong saw only desolation. The houses and farmland on both sides of the road looked as if they had been gnawed by swarms of locusts. And on this road, there is no one at all.

Wu Shigong was very shocked. He thought to himself, "This rebellious people of the Holy Spirit Society have been making trouble around here for a few days, and this is what this place looks like. After Li Zicheng's army rebelled, what would the world be like? How many people will be left in the world? ”

Anyway, it hasn't happened yet, and it's useless to sigh too much. Let's face the matter in front of us first. Wu Shigong had no choice but to hurry up and rush to the fortress of Qianhusuo as soon as possible.

It's been a smooth journey. At dusk, Wu Shigong and the others rushed to the fortress of Qianhusuo. However, after passing through that town, the clearing under the hillside of the fortress of Sennoso was crowded with rioters.

When those chaotic people saw Wu Shigong and these people, they immediately dodged a way and let Wu Shigong and them pass. When passing through these chaotic people, Wu Shigong and the others all clenched the handle of the weapon with their hands, and they were so nervous that they sweated out. After all, there are only fifty of them, and if these rioters go crazy, they won't be able to eat and walk around.

Fortunately, Wu Shigong and the others passed smoothly. Seeing Wu Shigong and them coming back, the fortress of Qianhusuo immediately opened the gate and welcomed Wu Shigong and them in.

As soon as he entered the gate, Wu Shigong bumped into Xue Yongli and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Why didn't the rebels below disperse? ”

Xue Yongli replied with a smile: "Give them some sweetness, and they won't leave." ”

Then, Xue Yongli briefly introduced to Wu Shigong the situation of Xue Yongli's escort of supplies and prisoners.

The process of Xue Yongli's escort was much smoother than expected. Xue Yongli is very experienced. He knew that he had so few people and couldn't care about so many vehicles and supplies. Therefore, Xue Yongli gathered all the vehicles loaded with grain together and concentrated manpower to guard these vehicles.

And when transporting these vehicles, although Xue Yongli even lit torches at night in order to rush for time, so that these rioters were not allowed to stop. However, Xue Yongli still distributed food to these rioters, so that they could eat enough and ensure their physical strength.

But in this way, although it is inevitable that some rioters will take advantage of the dark night to escape, and even secretly push away some vehicles loaded with supplies. However, instead of fleeing, the vast majority of the rebels returned.

In this wilderness, there is nothing to eat, and no matter how much other supplies are valuable, if there is no food to eat, they will still starve to death. Moreover, when the Holy Spirit would slaughter the people in rebellion and go to the city of Guide, they had already walked this road.

And the food collected by Master Mu is only a priority to ensure that the Holy Spirit will meet those backbones. The food distributed by the coerced rebels can only barely keep them from starving to death.

So on this road, even the birds and frogs that can be eaten are basically eaten by those riotous people. Therefore, at this time, the food here by Xue Yongli is already greater than everything for the attraction of those chaotic people.

Of course, these chaotic people did not dare to openly loot these grains, because Wu Shigong's fierce and vicious appearance that day completely frightened them. They just came to beg Xue Yongli's cavalry to take them prisoner again. Just give them a bite to eat.

Of course, Xue Yongli would not be stingy to the point of refusing to spend such a little more food. Because, most of the rioters who were able to escape were young and strong. Xue Yongli still needs them to push and pull those wheelbarrows.

But what Xue Yongli never expected was that when the camp exploded, some chaotic people who fled to the vicinity of Xue Yongli's convoy got the news. These rebels had nothing to eat at this time, and they also came to surrender.

Xue Yongli accepted all the rebels who surrendered, anyway, there were many people, as long as these grains and supplies were transported to the fortress of Qianhusuo, and then these rebels could be driven away.

In the early morning, Xue Yongli escorted these rebels and transported these materials to the Qianhusuo Fortress, Xue Yongli drove these rebels out of the Qianhusuo Fortress and left them to fend for themselves.

However, these rebels refused to leave. Most of these rioters are from Runing and Kaifeng Provinces, and if they want to go home, they will have to walk for at least a day. And there was nothing to eat along the way. What if they were able to make it back home? There is also no food in their hometown. They also faced the fate of starvation.

And just now, when these rebels transported the supplies to the warehouse of the Thousand Households Fortress, they saw that the Thousand Households Fortress was full of grain, and at this time, they were willing to make cattle and horses in the Thousand Households Fortress. Therefore, these rebels gathered at the bottom of the hill where the fortress of the Thousand Households was located and refused to leave.

To add insult to injury, when the Holy Spirit Society's camp exploded, some of the fleeing rebels passed through the county seat of Qi County. At the beginning, Qi County ordered this county town to be afraid of what these rebellious people would do, so it was like a great enemy from top to bottom.

However, after a period of observation, it was found that the rioters who passed by were all frightened birds. That Zhou Xun was very bold, he ignored the dissuasion of Qi County and Li Lu, and took the initiative to attack with a hundred soldiers.

Seeing Zhou Xun's soldiers coming violently, those chaotic people were tired and hungry, and they didn't even have the strength to escape. After being stabbed by Zhou Xun and overthrowing a few rebels, some of the other rebels also surrendered on their knees. At this moment, Zhou Xun captured more than 100 rioters at once.

Zhou Xun was also a little cautious, he was unwilling to escort these captives back to the county seat of Qi County Commander at this time, and give the credit to Qi County Commander and Li Lu. Seeing that there is no danger on the road, the county seat of Qi County and the road of the Qianhusuo fortress are not far, and Zhou Xun wants to escort these prisoners back to the Qianhusuo fortress.

But on the way around their escort, some of the prisoners who were already hungry and couldn't stand it asked the escort soldiers for some food. These soldiers were all natives, and the captives were native to their own country, and as soon as the local dialect was spoken, some soft-hearted soldiers threw the dry food they had brought with them to the captives to eat.

However, after such a move was made, the same situation happened as Xue Yongli's, and the captives were gathering more and more. By the time they arrived at the fortress of the Thousand Households, nearly six hundred captives had been gathered.

At this time, Xue Yongli had already driven the chaotic people he escorted to the bottom of the hill, and Zhou Xun also knew the real situation from the mouths of the people sent out to greet him from the fortress of Qianhusuo. So, Zhou Xun threw these captives into the chaotic people that Xue Yongli drove away, and returned to the county seat of Qi County regardless of it.

Even worse was yet to come, although these rioters did not dare to go up the hill. However, their cries at the foot of the hillside were very loud, and they all reached the ears of Wu Shigong's ladies in the houses of the fortress of the Thousand Households.

When it reached their ears, it was just time for lunch, and the women's family relented, so they commanded: "Give them some porridge before they drive out the disorder." ”

But as soon as this porridge was given, these chaotic people refused to leave. What's even more troublesome is that the people who got the news and were hiding nearby all gathered here at the fortress of Qianhusu. Therefore, on the way back to Wu Shigong, he encountered this kind of situation where there were almost no chaotic people. These rioters are now basically gathered at the bottom of the hillside of the fortress of the Thousand Households.

After listening to Xue Yongli's introduction to the situation, Wu Shigong frowned, touched his chin and thought, "This is indeed a troublesome matter. ”
