Although Li Yan left, he laid some foundation for the Red Turban Army.

The slogan of "opening warehouses and releasing grain, equalizing the fields" gave the Red Turban Army a broad base of the people. The surrounding prefectures and counties of Taikang, and even further away in Chenzhou's Runing Mansion, have heard of the reputation of the Red Turban Army. Countless poor people are looking forward to the Red Turban Army coming soon.

And Li Yan helped reorganize the team, so that the Red Turban Army had a basic structure, and it was no longer a plate of loose sand.

Out of disgust with the gentry landlords, the Red Lady held high the banner of proletarians and severely cracked down on the gentry in Taikang County, and all the gentry landlords who owned more land were raided.

In this era of starvation, the power of opening warehouses to release grain is no less than that of nuclear bombs, and the surrounding poor people have gathered in Taikang County, and within a few days, more than 100,000 people have gathered inside and outside Taikang County, and there are more poor people from other places.

"Hong Shuai, there are too many people coming, and half of the grain in the county warehouse is about to be consumed!" Lin Jiuchuan said.

"What are you afraid of, stealing food from the gentry's house?" The red lady asked.

"That batch of food can't be moved, and it has to be used to feed the army. Hong Shuai, there are too many people in Qi County, I am afraid that the people of the surrounding states and counties will rush over, if this continues, we will have to be eaten, this Qi County is too small, let's leave quickly. Lin Jiuchuan said with a bitter face.

"The division of fields has not been completed, and I can't leave for the time being." The red lady frowned.

"Don't talk about dividing the fields." Lin Jiuchuan smiled bitterly, "I can't go on, those fields were originally cultivated by tenants, and they didn't want to divide the fields to others, they all wanted to divide more and better land for themselves, and they were noisy all day long, and they couldn't divide it at all." ”

The land is even, although the idea is good, but the red lady has never read a book, most of them can't even read a word, and they don't have enough ability to divide the field, so they can't be fair at all. After a few days, even the Qingzhang field was not completed, and the people outside were noisy all day long, and many people fought several times for this matter, which made the red lady very big.

It would be good if Li Gongzi didn't leave, he was so knowledgeable, he would definitely be able to do a good job of dividing the fields, the red lady said secretly. But she didn't know that Li Yan, who was born as a gentry, did not approve of it at all and would not divide the land.

"Hong Shuai, the official army doesn't know when it will be killed, you might as well say it slowly, we should continue to go south, capture Chenzhou and enter Runing Mansion." Lin Jiuchuan persuaded.

"Okay, I'll leave Qixian tomorrow." The red lady thought about it and finally made a decision.

The next day, the Red Lady left Taikang City with a large army south, and at this time her army had more than 20,000 people. The opening of warehouses and the release of grain were not in vain, and the army was doubled.

Before leaving, Song Zhao, the former Taikang County canonical history who surrendered, was killed and sacrificed to the flag. This guy took advantage of the division of the field to try to occupy the field and was reported, coupled with his reputation for the stench of Taikang, the red lady had long wanted to kill him, and finally found an excuse.

Two days later, the army reached Chenzhou, but was met with fierce resistance, and Du Bin, a general of Chenzhou, led an army of 1,000 to rush out of the city and launch an attack on the newly arrived peasant army.

Although the Red Turban Army has a large number of people, it is far inferior to the official army in terms of organization and combat effectiveness, even if it is a local army with weak combat effectiveness. Especially the dozens of family members under Du Bin, each of them has armor, and their combat effectiveness is very extraordinary.

Du Bin led the Jiading team to rush to the front and launched a fierce attack on the Red Turban Army, which immediately broke the advance of the Red Turban Army and killed thousands of peasant soldiers who rushed to the dolphin. The front was defeated, and the soldiers of the Red Turban Army behind were terrified, and the whole army was about to be defeated.

At the critical moment, the red lady shouted coquettishly, rode a horse and danced a knife to the official army, and Lin Jiuchuan and other old brothers also followed and killed when they saw this.

Although the Red Turban Army was established not long ago, the Red Lady was fair and kind to the people, and was deeply loved by many people, especially many young soldiers, and regarded the delicate Red Lady as the goddess in her heart. Seeing the Red Lady riding towards the official army, many soldiers suddenly turned red-eyed, endured the fear in their hearts, and followed the Red Lady to kill behind the horse.

At the time of the rout, hundreds of people went upstream, which surprised the general Du Bin. Because of the pursuit of the peasant army, dozens of his families had dispersed, and only a few horsemen were following him, and the cavalry ran too fast, and the official infantry was still a mile away.

When Du Bin wanted to avoid it, the red lady had already slapped the horse and arrived, waving the saber to chop her head and face, and then Lin Jiuchuan and others arrived, Lin Jiuchuan jumped on Du Bin's war horse and threw Du Bin off the horse. The family members around Du Bin hurriedly killed, and more Red Turban troops arrived, directly submerging Du Bin and his family.

As soon as Du Bin died, his subordinates were immediately defeated, and the Red Turban Army turned defeat into victory.

Next, the Red Lady regrouped her troops, surrounded Chenzhou, and sent people to shoot arrows into the city, hoping that Chenzhou would take the initiative to surrender.

However, her raiding and killing of the gentry in Qixian County had frightened the gentry officials in Chenzhou City, and the gentry did not dare to surrender at all, so they instead sent people and food to help the officials and soldiers defend the city.

Although Du Bin and his subordinates were completely annihilated by the Red Turban Army, after mobilizing in the city, they still gathered four or five thousand strong men, plus the officials and officials of Chenzhou, and the troops defending the city were sufficient.

Chenzhou City is much larger than Qixian Taikang, not counting the countryside, the population of the city alone has more than 100,000, if the defenders are united, it is impossible for the two thousand rabble of the Red Lady to attack the city.

However, the reputation of the Red Turbans finally worked, and the gentry were reluctant to surrender, but most of the people thought that the Red Turbans would attack the city.

"Hurry up and open the city to welcome the red handsome, the red handsome will not pay for food"

"Open the warehouse and release the grain, and even the field"

No matter how much they can be achieved, these slogans are very powerful, enough to make the vast majority of the people yearn for them.

Chenzhou City has a population of more than 100,000 people, of which only a small part is rich, and the vast majority of them are poor people.

Since the apocalypse, the northern convenience has been suffering from drought for many years, and the winter is extremely cold, and the fields cannot harvest much grain at all. And Henan has five vassal kings, hundreds of county kings, thousands of generals, tens of thousands of lieutenants, the number of clans is too much, all of them have to be supported by the people of Henan, and the people of Henan have long been miserable.

If there is no man-made rebellion, once there is a man-made rebellion, many people will inevitably follow!

Therefore, the red lady spent three days to build ladders and other siege equipment, and the first wave of siege rushed to the city, and the people who were recruited to defend the city refused to contribute at all.

With just one wave of attacks, the Red Turban Army entered the city!

Then it is to occupy the treasury, raid the gentry and wealthy households in the city, and open warehouses to release grain!

The occupation of the big city of Chenzhou made the power of the Red Turban Army grow rapidly, and more than 1,000 captured officers and soldiers also joined the Red Turban Army and were appointed as grassroots officers.

In the next time, the Red Lady divided her troops into four attacks, and conquered Xihua, Shangshui, Shenqiu, Xiangcheng and other counties in a short time, and for a time, the prestige of the Red Turban Army spread throughout the Central Plains.
