CHAPTER XXXI

The Chuxia National Salvation Army successfully crossed the Cangnan Plain.

Continuing the march is the mountainous She County.

"King Chu, we are safe when we arrive in She County for the time being!" Lu Jingfei said.

"However, the mountains and forests of She County are dense and the population is sparse, which is not conducive to our development of the army!" Feng Qingluan said.

"You guys rest for a while, Han Yuliang caught a bamboo rat, I've cooked it, you can have a big meal!" It was Wei Ziwen who spoke, and she and Han Yuliang tried their best to catch up with the team. At present, Wei Ziwen's task is to take care of Feng Qingluan's diet and daily life.

"Okay, good, good, I'm hungry too," Feng Qingluan said.

Wei Ziwen used a bamboo tube to hold the boiled bamboo rat, and Feng Qingluan ate a piece.

"It's fragrant, it's so fragrant, if only it had a little salt!"

Speaking of salt, everyone was sad for a while, there has been no salt to eat for a few months.

"When we get to Ruinan, there will be salt, pickled bamboo shoots, and pickled cabbage for you to eat!" Lu Jingfei quickly resolved the awkward atmosphere.

"Jiang Zhaokuan has already surrendered to the law, and we are not to blame for the people Luo Hu arranged to save the people in Chu Xia!" Feng Qingluan said.

"King Chu is generous, they may change, but I will also register those people and let our people monitor them for good!" Lu Jingfei said.

"It's still thoughtful!" Feng Qingluan said with a smile.

Luo Hu had hundreds of thousands of horses, but in the end he didn't catch Feng Qingluan. Seeing that the Chu Xia Salvation Army had crossed the Cangnan Plain to She County, which was high in mountains and dense forests, it was inconvenient for his men and horses to continue the pursuit, so he had to return to Cangyuan City with Shangguan Tong.

The two saw Wu Shaoguang nervously.

Wu Shaoguang did not scold them. Instead, he praised them again and again.

Wu Shaoguang's attitude flattered them.

"Dashuai, we didn't catch Feng Qingluan, we are really incompetent!"

"Where! Where, you have dealt a heavy blow to the rebel party, exterminated more than 100,000 of them, and the remaining remnants of the army will not be able to achieve the climate, let them go to the mountains to toss! ”

Wu Shaoguang affirmed their achievements.

"Dashuai, what should we do next?"

Luo Hu asked for instructions on the next move.

"Your Loyalty Association still can't be idle, didn't Feng Qingluan go to She County, you also set up a small force to harass them in She County, remember to kill people when you encounter them, and burn them when you meet houses!"

Wu Shaoguang said viciously.

Luo Hu took the order.

He commanded the gathering of all the members of the Loyal Society. According to the size of their official positions, they assigned men and horses, and rushed to She County overnight.

The movement in Cangyuan City was quickly known to Feng Qingluan, and he quickly summoned the generals of the Chuxia National Salvation Army to study countermeasures.

"Luo Hu is now learning to be obedient and harass us with a few people, what should we do?" Feng Qingluan first raised the topic.

"They have a musket team, and this one is extremely difficult to deal with!" Shan Kai said: "They will definitely bring the musket team this time!" ”

"I've seen the musket team, and it's really powerful, but they're here just in time, and we're going to set up a musket team too!"

Feng Qingluan said.

"The strategy they came up with was that the gadfly bites the cow, and the cow has no choice, but they are wrong, we are not a buffalo with no way!" Peng Zhenlei said.

"She County has high mountains and dense forests, we just use the terrain to destroy them!" Lu Jingfei said.

"Did we send someone to contact He Qiuting back, we know that he is in Ruinan County, and we don't know where he is!" Feng Qingluan was a little worried.

"No news yet!" Lu Jingfei shook his head.

After everyone discussed, Feng Qingluan said: "Since Luo Hu went to the mountains to find us, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack, go to them, and strike first!" ”

"King Chu, I think so too, I will take a team of men and horses and catch all these Wu Shaoguang's lackeys for you!" Peng Zhen said loudly.

"We still can't afford to delay here!" Feng Qingluan said: "We will leave Peng Zhenlei and not let the people of the Loyalty Society harass us, and the rest of the people, let's rush to Ruinan County together." ”

Feng Qingluan's voice landed, and everyone unanimously agreed.

"Peng Zhenlei, I will leave Fan Cheng to you as a deputy, and let him guarantee your safety!"

Everyone was ready to go.

Someone came to report: "Yan Shikun is back!" ”

Feng Qingluan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Yan Shikun to come over to meet.

"King Chu, Yan Shikun is back!"

Looking at the dark and thin Yan Shikun, Feng Qingluan felt guilty in her heart.

"Yan Shikun, it's hard work, if it weren't for you, where would we be able to live on the Cangnan Plain!"

"King Chu, it is our luck in this life that we can rebuild a great country with you!"

Then Feng Qingluan announced that the army led by Yan Shikun would always be led by him in the future.

The army continued to advance, and Peng Zhenlei led the people behind the palace to clean up the people of the Loyalty Society.

"Brother Lu, did we go to contact He Qiuting's people and come back?" Feng Qingluan asked.

"Not yet!"

"If He Qiuting is not in Ruinan, where should we go?" Feng Qingluan seemed to ask Lu Jingfei, and seemed to be talking to herself.

"King Chu, if He Qiuting is not in Ruinan, we will find a way to gain a foothold in Ruinan, the land in the south of Ruinan is fertile and can raise troops!"

"Brother Lu, I also have this intention, Wu Shaoguang can't send a large army across She County to conquer Ruinan!"

"For the time being, Renan is still safe! However, Ruinan is threatened by Nanyi, and the Nanyi people are stubborn and a fierce enemy! Lu Jingfei was a little worried.

"As long as we have a base and a place to maneuver, Wu Shaoguang and the people of Nanyi have nothing to fear!"

The people continued to march, the mountains were high and the rivers were deep, and they often encountered sneak attacks from the villagers, but the Chuxia National Salvation Army also often occupied large towns and towns to replenish supplies.

The people of the Zhongyi Society quietly infiltrated She County, and they deliberately slaughtered the village and framed it for the Chuxia National Salvation Army, and for a while, the Chuxia National Salvation Army was regarded as a harmful bandit.

"Brother Lu, have you seen it, the people seem to hate us to the core, and they keep harassing us!" Feng Qingluan said.

"It may be that Wu Jun pretended to be us and killed the people, and the people blamed us for all these bad things."

"Let's leave She County as soon as possible, after all, we are not familiar with the terrain here!"

Shao Donglai hurriedly reported: "King Chu, there is the She River in front, the torrent is turbulent, and we can't cross the river!" ”

"Can you take a pontoon!"

"No, we don't have ships!"

"Brother Lu, let's go to the She River to take a look, is there a way to cross the river!"

Lu Jingfei agreed, and several people took dozens of sergeants to the bank of the She River.

As soon as they approached the She River, they heard the sound of the water rushing in.

"Brother Lu, it seems that the She River is surging and it is difficult to cross!"

Lu Jingfei snorted, and the group arrived on the bank of the She River.

Looking up, the She River is not very wide, but the torrent is turbulent, the waves are repeated, and bursts of foam are surging.

"How do you sail on such a rapid?" Feng Qingluan said: "Maybe only the Dragon King can go over!" ”

Speaking of this, he remembered the breaking of the wall in Jiulong, and said: "Our Chuxia National Salvation Army is all dragon kings, and we will definitely be able to cross the She River!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a whistle in the bushes.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" Shao Donglai shouted.

The crowd immediately drew their blades.

Feng Qingluan shouted, "Hurry up and hide behind the stones, beware of random arrows!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, countless random arrows shot at him.

Everyone hurriedly hid behind the boulder, and countless natives came out of the bushes.

Feng Qingluan saw that they were all wearing animal skins, their faces were painted with oil paint, and they were holding bows and arrows in their hands.

Some sergeants picked up bows and arrows and tried to fight back.

"Which of you understands the indigenous language?" Feng Qingluan hurriedly stopped and asked.

"These people are all Yue people! We have been bullied by Chu Xia's bullies, and they have no good impression of us! Shao Donglai said.

"Who understands indigenous languages?" Feng Qingluan then asked.

"King Chu, I know a little bit!" Shao Dong came to say.

The Yue people shot another burst of arrows, and everyone hurriedly dodged.

Shao Donglai shouted loudly in the indigenous language behind the stones: "Yue brothers, we are the Chuxia National Salvation Army, but we have come here to borrow the road, and we will not hurt you!" ”

Hearing his words, the natives were slightly surprised.

"Who are you, what are you doing in Shejiang?" Suddenly, an indigenous man asked in Chinese.

"We are the Chuxia National Salvation Army, we want to cross the She River and go straight to Ruinan County, our purpose is to save the poor people in the world!" Feng Qingluan said.

"You said that you came to save the suffering people in the world, as long as you solve the bullies who oppressed us, we will believe your words!" The man continued.

"Where is the bully, and who is it?" Shao Dong asked.

"The bully is in Songjiabao! His name is Song Jiangfei", the man continued: "The Song family has bullied us for hundreds of years, as long as you can clean up Song Jiangfei, we will help you cross the She River!" ”
