Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 709

"Could it be you too?" The two before sat up in surprise.

"I was the entourage that I pointed out to General Fu later, all of you." Song Chen nodded blankly, then glanced at the people lying beside him.

A few people sat up next to them one after another. They introduced their backgrounds. They were all assigned to work beside Fu Shiren because the original leader died in battle.

Some of them took care of Fu Shiren's daily life, some were in charge of Fu Shiren's armor and weapons, and some were handymen who set up tents for Fu Shiren, etc. All kinds of jobs were related to Fu Shiren.

hiss.
Song Chen took a deep breath, then turned his attention to the remaining five audiences, "Would you also follow Fu."

"We are all soldiers of General Fu, but we have never been to the Jiangling battlefield, and we are not from Jiangdong." One of them replied.

"Soldiers? Disrespect, disrespect." Song Chen clasped his fists in salute, and then asked suspiciously, "You have never been to Jiangling, why did you end up here?"

"Alas, Jiangxia fell at the time, and we didn't run away."

Song Chen nodded, suddenly realized and said: "It seems that the few of us have been brought to cultivate wasteland, and it is not unreasonable to be deducted from food."

"What's the reason?" The name of the questioner was Li Chang, who was from the scouting camp like Song Chen, and is now the backbone of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce. His current role is to cheer up.

"Isn't it because of General Fu? Who made him surrender to Jiangdong? Now he is a prisoner of the old master Jingzhou, isn't he trying to torture us?" Song Chen smiled wryly.

Li Chang muttered unconvinced: "Isn't this fair? We are not Fu Shiren's soldiers, but were sent to work by his side later on."

"Who cares about you? It's all like this now." Song Chen shook his head straight, and then said to the others: "You are Fu Shiren's personal soldiers, and it is not wrong to be sent to Dadongshan to open up wasteland."

Suddenly a person next to him jumped up, with an angry expression on his face: "What is injustice? Yang and they are both from Jiangxia, and they joined the army after General Fu surrendered to Jiangdong. We are not his old followers at all."

Song Chen smiled and bowed: "I'm really sorry. I'm just guessing. Everyone is a hard-working person."

"Forget it. This is the end of the matter. It's destiny. Go to sleep." Yang Tai turned around and fell down, and the rest of the people followed suit without saying a word.

Seeing that Yang Tai seemed to be the leader of these people, Song Chen locked his target on him, sighed and complained to Li Chang: "There is too little food and so much work, we will die of exhaustion sooner or later."

"There is only one sentry post in Dadongshan. If we can't do it, let's escape? Anyway, we will die sooner or later, so why not give it a try." Li Chang put forward a 'suggestion'.

Song Chen frowned and shook his head: "Where can we escape? Fu Shiren first betrayed the King of Hanzhong, and then General Sun. We were branded by him, and we will die no matter where we go."

Li Chang argued bluntly: "You can't say it like this. It is true that General Fu betrayed the King of Hanzhong, but his betrayal of Jiangdong was purely framed. If Lu Meng hadn't killed Old General Han first, General Fu would not have clashed with Lu Meng. Unfortunately, he was later accused. The other party framed and died, and we are all implicated."

"Don't talk nonsense. Wasn't old general Han killed? How could the commander-in-chief attack his own people?" Song Chen pretended to be surprised.

"Is there any truth to what I saw with my own eyes? That night I was the last one to feed the horses and was about to go back to the tent to rest. Old General Han accidentally stabbed him to death with a sword, and later he was buried near the stable." Li Chang's tone was affirmative.

"So it was true that Lu Meng wronged General Fu, but now he implicates us in suffering, really," Song Chen muttered to himself.

Li Chang then asked: "I just can't figure it out. Why did Old General Han have an argument with Lu Meng? Isn't the other party our chief governor? I really can't figure it out."

"What is the qualifications of Old General Han? With Lu Meng's prestige, how could he be completely controlled? At that time, he should have acted in a hurry. Lu Meng is still far behind Zhou Dudu and Lu Dudu." Song Chen patted the edge of the bed and sighed.

"Eh? You said that if we bring this news back to Jiangdong, can we clear General Fu of treason? Maybe we can live a good life." Li Chang had a sudden thought.

"Live? Is this courting death? That's Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong, who will listen to us little soldiers?" Song Chen shook his head.

Li Chang said disapprovingly: "Lu Meng is dead now, why are we afraid of him? Besides, the descendants of the old general Han, I heard that they are still investigating this matter, we can pretend to be the old general's personal soldiers and seek refuge And get some rewards."

"I think it's better to forget it? Most of Old General Han's original soldiers were sent to the front line by Lu Meng to die. With the mediocre martial arts skills of the few of us, who would believe that we really arrived in Jiangdong?" Song Chen continued to throw cold water.

After hearing this, Li Chang sighed: "Hey, you are right. We are either raising horses or serving clothes. How can we look like a soldier? We should go to bed early. There is still wasteland to be reclaimed tomorrow, and we will live a day." It's just one day"

"That's right. Destiny is determined from birth. It's useless to think too much." Song Chen yawned and fell asleep. Not long after, in the simple house, the sound of snoring and insects outside the house came and went.

In the middle of the night, Yang Tai opened the door and walked to the tree behind the house to have a rest. He suddenly found that the lights at the nearby guard post had been turned off, and he felt that the once-in-a-lifetime time to escape had come.

Yang Tai tiptoed back to the house, woke up his four companions, and took a small bag of rice from the corner in his hands, and they fled eastward against the grass and trees under Dadong Mountain.

After a few miles past the sentry post, five people sat down to catch their breath.

After the few people had rested for less than a stick of incense, Yang Tai urged his comrades to leave quickly. They were not far from the settlement, and they might not be able to leave if they were suddenly discovered.

"Yang Huochang, I think the guards are sleeping soundly. We don't need to go in such a hurry, right? There is no moon these few nights, and the faint starlight makes it difficult to recognize the way."

"I'm not worried about the guards at all, but I'm afraid that those wastes will find few people and run to the guards to report us. If we are caught back, we will only have a dead end. Now we just need to go east, and we will probably hear the sound of water in the morning. You won’t get lost when you walk near the Yangtze River.”

"They came up with the idea, and we should have brought them with us back then. Not only did we not call them, but we also sent the food along."

"Didn't that guy just say that? Fate has already decided everything. Taking them on the road will not only drag us down, but how can we explain it when we get to Chaisang? They are all old general Han's soldiers?"

"Uh, I always feel disrespectful"

"Loyalty cannot survive, you all remember now, we are old general Han's personal soldiers, and the rest of the comrades have been deliberately killed by Lu Meng."

"Yes, Chief Huo."

The five of Yang Tai arrived near the Yangtze River in the morning, and then ran south along the dense reeds.

A few days before Yang Tai escaped, warships from Wuchang frequently patrolled to the south. Yang Tai knew that they were looking for him, so he let everyone hide in the grass to avoid searching.
