Traveler Major League

Chapter 75 New Destination
Near the arbor three miles outside Yijun County, nearly a thousand people led by Liu Ze lined up along the road to welcome Wang Er.

It was close to noon, and the sun was very hot, making people wet and sticky from the sun.

Everyone stood under the sun, looking into the distance motionlessly, their eyes were full of determination, some people covered their eyes with sweat, some people were bitten by mosquitoes and itched unbearably, but because there was no Liu Ze to speak, they dared not Some actions are the result of Liu Ze's strict requirements of setting an example during this period of time.

A burst of smoke suddenly rose from the hillside in the distance, and the smoke flew into the forest, looking like fog. After a while, a sharp-eyed soldier spotted it and pointed it out to Liu Ze in surprise. Liu Ze also heard it at this time The sound of horseshoes, kicking and trampling, was getting closer and closer. For the first time, Liu Ze felt that the sound was so pleasant, so beautiful, much better than the sounds made by the mules and donkeys in his team.

Seeing the smoke and dust getting closer and closer, the team of nearly a thousand people is not chaotic at all. This team is composed of the main battalion and most of the militia battalion. Every soldier is wearing a new military uniform. The officers and non-commissioned officers are all wearing armor. He was wearing a full set of gear on his back, and all the weapons in his hands were Ming army standard weapons. The knives, guns and weapons were all scrubbed clean, shining with a metallic luster under the sun.

There is a black flag in front of each company with the number of each company written on it. The company of nearly a hundred people is divided into four rows. The platoon stands on the far right side of the battalion. There are three cowhide ammunition boxes on the soldiers' belts. The two small boxes are in the front and contain [-] rounds of paper fixed ammunition. The large box is equipped with spare fixed ammunition in the back. There are gourds of bulk gunpowder hanging, and each person has a messenger bag, all of which have three layers, the outer and inner layers are burlap, and the middle layer is tarpaulin, which contains accessories, boxed gunpowder leads, matchlocks and so on.

Wang Youyuan arrived first, before he got off his horse, a burst of hearty laughter came: "Brother Mu, long time no see!"

Hearing Wang Youyuan's voice, Liu Ze's eyes shone with light. He stared at Wang Youyuan who was walking quickly, and smiled as he stepped forward and cupped his hands.Compared with the second brother Wang, getting along with Wang Youyuan and the Wang brothers is more relaxing for Liu Ze. Wang Youyuan is smart and capable, and he doesn't have the smelly airs of the leadership team. Liu Ze could chat together, if not for their different identities and standpoints, Liu Ze thinks that the two of them could really become a pair of bosom friends.

"Brother Wang, long time no see. How are you doing?"

A kite turned over and jumped off the horse, Wang Youyuan hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Ze and laughed and scolded: "You boy, you are offending me, although you and I have known each other for a short time, but I treat you like a brother, don't do this. Come, come, come and have a few cups of tea in the arbor before talking."

Seeing that Liu Ze was still looking behind the cavalry team he had brought, Wang Youyuan smiled, patted Liu Ze on the shoulder and said, "It's not too late to have a few cups of tea, the second brother is behind with the troop, it's not like that quick."

Then Liu Ze also entered the arbor, found a stool and sat down, because he was eager to know the situation of the second brother, Liu Ze was not embarrassed, so he asked straight to the point: "Brother Wang, how are you and the second brother doing? "

"We were delayed in that Yaohe Town. We originally wanted to encircle rather than attack. We waited for Yijun County to send guards to give you and the black dog a chance to rob the county prison. How did you know that you made such a big deal? With such momentum, Liang Qianhu was directly killed, and Yijun County was taken down, which is really unexpected!"

After Wang Youyuan finished speaking, he gave Liu Ze a thumbs up, and his expression was quite proud, like a brother who is really proud of his younger brother.

But when it came to the black dog, Liu Ze sighed, and his face darkened: "Brother Wang, Brother Black Dog, he was abolished by the dog county magistrate! His limbs were broken, and his tongue was cut off! I can't even hear my ears." .”

"Ah?" Wang Youyuan stood up suddenly, because the movement was so fast that he even jumped with the table, and the full cup of tea poured out in an instant, dripping down the corner of the table.

"I have sent a special person to take care of Brother Heigou. Brother Wang will see you later in the city. I hope you don't..." Liu Ze couldn't continue talking. That bright and smiling bald man can only lie down now. On the bed, unable to speak or hear, it is really distressing.

The two were silent, their eyes were fixed on the piece of water dripping from the corner of the table, neither standing nor sitting, their hearts were as restless as thousands of ants crawled and gnawed.

Wang Youyuan was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak. He and Heigou had known each other earlier than Liu Ze and Heigou, and their relationship was naturally deeper. Earlier, Heigou came to vote for Wang Er, and it was Wang Youyuan who brought him to familiarize himself with military affairs. Yes, they fought together and robbed countless fat sheep. The two were comrades-in-arms and brothers who knew the cold and warm, so now that he heard the sad news of the black dog, he couldn't bear it anymore. The hands on the table trembled a little.

After waiting for a while, there was a burst of noisy footsteps, "The two brothers drink tea in this shed, it's quite leisurely, I, as an older brother, am so envious!"

Hearing the words, the two hurried out of the arbor and shouted, "Second brother!"

"Brother Youyuan, why are you red-eyed? This doesn't look like you, what's wrong?" Wang Er stopped and asked when he saw Wang Youyuan standing behind Liu Ze, with red and swollen eyes as if he had cried a lot.

After listening to Wang Youyuan's narration, Wang Er was very sad and didn't have time to chat, so he asked Liu Ze to lead the team directly into the city to visit the black dog.

Wang Er walked very fast, and he probably felt uncomfortable, his neck was flushed and he scolded all the way: "Those dog Mingjun bully people too much, they really bully people too much!"

Seeing this, Liu Ze and Wang Youyuan didn't dare to say anything, but followed the second brother silently as they walked faster and faster.

Seeing that Wang Er was going to bring his team of thousands of people into the city, Zhang Boyuan, who had been by Liu Ze's side, quickly gave Wang Shanbao a wink. After a meeting, Zhang Boyuan proposed at the meeting that if Wang Er led the troops, who would be the master, all the subordinates spoke freely. Some said they would occupy the county town to boycott Wang Er, some said it was impossible to fight, and some It is said that the encirclement and suppression by the Ming army is imminent, and it is better to swallow Wang Er's troops.

In the end, Liu Ze tried to overcome all opinions, and the best choice was to give up Yijun County, let Wang Er stand there, and act as a target for the Ming army to attract the Ming army, while Liu Ze and his group chose another place to live in the dangerous valley. Well, the first year of Chongzhen is not the 14th year of Chongzhen. The Ming army is very powerful. Besides eating and living together during this period, Liu Ze can also grasp the thoughts of most people in the army.

In fact, what most people want is to have enough to eat and not be starved to death. Regarding the great goal of rebellion and building a new world, most people have the attitude of laughing at jokes, and occasionally kill an official to grab food They are all full of courage, but if you want to say that they will rebel desperately and fight the Ming army to the end, then it would be good if they can find at most 100 people from a team of nearly [-] people.

Most people want to kill officials to rebel and be recruited. This ultimate goal is a bit different from Liu Ze's, but the path is the same, that is to find a place to live and wait for the right time.

At this time, there is a question, will Wang Er call Liu Ze around like a younger brother, or even annex it directly? At this time, Zhang Boyuan, the former master of Yijun County and now Liu Ze's exclusive advisor, proposed a Small coup: Come and show off.
