Chapter 44: Know good and know evil, be brave and resourceful!
Although the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley were scattered, they were not blind. From a distance, they saw hundreds of people coming this way.

However, because there were many large cars in the Red Lady's team, and many people were wearing the cloth armor of the Inspection Department's archers, everyone from the captain Huang Deping to the ordinary auxiliary soldiers thought it was the Inspection Department escorting refugees and a batch of supplies. coming.

It wasn't until he saw dozens of riders suddenly speeding up that Huang Deping realized something was wrong.

Huang Deping was one of the bandits who surrendered to the government with Liu Xicai, and he had experienced many battles.

He knew that his group of auxiliary soldiers could not stop the enemy's cavalry, let alone the hundreds of people behind them.

Decisively ordered: "Retreat! Follow me to the mountain!"

So 50 people ran up the hill.

Yang Heqing was the fastest on horseback, but he could only catch the tails of these officers and soldiers.He didn't dare to ride up the mountain, so he took out the bow and arrows he was carrying and shot three arrows in a row, killing one and wounding two.

"Good archery!"

The red lady and the remaining cavalry arrived at this time. After praising Yang Heqing, she gave orders.

"You lead the cavalry and soldiers up the mountain on foot, and hunt down those officers and soldiers. Kill as many as you can, and then come back after chasing them for a mile."

Yang Heqing didn't hesitate this time, and led more than thirty horsemen up the mountain to chase down the officers and soldiers.

These thirty or so people are all elites selected by the Red Lady from the team. Not only can they ride horses, but they are also good at fighting on foot as a small team. They can compete with the official soldiers from Xinyang Prefecture at a [-]-[-] ratio.

Yang Heqing is an expert who can fight five or six people by himself.

Therefore, after leaving the task of chasing down the officers and soldiers to Yang Heqing, Lady Hong saw that the convoy was still more than half a mile away from the entrance of the valley, so she rode into the valley first.

Over the past few months, the Red Lady has developed the habit of going under disguise to conduct intelligence reconnaissance whenever she attacks a place.

A few days ago, she brought people to Minggang and was surprised to see that there were no refugees outside Minggang town.After a little exploration, I learned about the existence of Refugee Valley.

That night, relying on her agility, which she had honed over many years of martial arts and juggling, she sneaked into the valley under the eyes of the officers and soldiers.

She had traveled extensively and experienced a lot, but the situation in the valley still shocked her.

She stayed inside for half the night and slipped out just before dawn.

Then he made up his mind to rescue the refugees in the valley.

She did not act recklessly, but stayed in Minggang for another three days, made some preparations, and made a plan. This led to today's action of robbing dozens of trucks of food from the Zhang family and heading straight to the Refugee Valley.

But she didn't expect that there would be hundreds of officers and soldiers hiding in Minggang Town.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, these officers and soldiers did not choose to take action in the town, otherwise she and her men might not be able to get out of Minggang Town alive.

But now the situation is still much more dangerous than she expected.

Those hundreds of officers and soldiers are approaching fiercely, and they are probably the elite officers and soldiers in this area. She must organize as many young people as possible to help before the officers and soldiers arrive, in order to win...

The red lady rode into the valley, and there happened to be dozens of refugees who heard the noise and came towards the entrance of the valley.

"Heroine!"

Seeing Lady Hong, the leaders of the group all looked surprised, and they obviously knew Lady Hong.

"You didn't lie to us, you actually came!"

"Why did the heroine come in through the mouth of the valley? Where are the officers and soldiers?"

"We heard a cry of death outside the valley. Does the heroine know what happened?"

"···"

After the two sides approached, the leading refugees greeted and asked excitedly.

Finally, a tall and thin middle-aged man raised his voice: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to the heroine."

The dozens of refugees who came over fell silent.

The Red Lady said: "There is something I didn't tell you before. I am actually the leader of the rebel army who killed officials in Jigong Mountain, Xinyang. My name is the Red Lady."

Just saying this, the red lady stopped and observed the expressions of these dozens of people.

But she had sneaked into the valley for four consecutive nights. The first night was to understand the situation in the valley and select a few relatively reliable refugees to gain trust.

There was originally a village in this valley that drilled a deep well. Since it is not too far from the Huaihe River, water from the well can now be drilled - this is one of the reasons why Liu Xicai, Minggang's big businessmen, and the Inspection Department chose this place to set up a refugee camp. .

Therefore, starting from the second night, the red lady began to smuggle the prepared noodles into the valley and distribute them to these refugees so that they could distribute them to more people.

With well water and bread, some refugees can survive and regain a certain amount of strength.

For three consecutive nights, with the help of her companions, she transported four to five hundred kilograms of bread, and the number of reliable refugees she selected increased to more than a dozen, and the number of refugees she rescued reached hundreds!

When doing these things, the Red Lady did not reveal the identity of the leader of her rebel army - because she knew that people's hearts are sinister, not everyone knows how to repay kindness, and there are many ungrateful people.If she reveals her true identity, someone might tell the officers and soldiers about it and take credit.Therefore, she led the refugees to think that she was an ordinary heroine.

On the last night, he only said that food would be delivered in a few days, but did not inform the specific date, nor did he mention today's action plan.

That's why these refugees who knew Red Lady were so surprised when they saw her coming in from the valley entrance in broad daylight.

At this time, the refugees were naturally surprised to hear that the red lady said that she was the leader of the rebel army, that is, a rebel.But no one showed disgust, and no one made a gesture of rejection.

The tall and thin middle-aged leader smiled and said: "Let me just say, ordinary women can only know some kung fu, but how can they dare to come into this muddy water to save us from fire and water? It turns out that the heroine is the leader of the rebel army."

Another young man with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes asked: "Is the female hero here to kill the dog officer army in Taniguchi today and lead us to join in the cause of justice? If so, I, Shihu, am willing to lead the charge for the female hero!"

Other refugees also expressed their opinions one after another——

"Yes! Damn it!"

"The government and those big families didn't care about us and tricked us into going to this valley to slowly starve to death. We should have rebelled long ago!"

"Destroy the Taniguchi officers and soldiers, go to Minggang Town, grab food, and eat the big families!"

"···"

As they talked, the crowd was filled with emotions, as if they wanted to spread their wings and fly out of the valley, and then fight into Minggang Town.

After all, they were all deceived into this valley because they couldn't enter Minggang.

"Listen to me!" Seeing this, the Red Lady raised her voice and shouted, leading everyone to quiet down. Then she continued: "To be honest with you, I led people to rob the Zhang family of a hundred carts of food today, and I want to come to this valley to rescue them. Everyone.

After everyone has eaten a few full meals and regained some strength, I can lead everyone to defeat the official army.

Who knows whether Liu Xicai from King Chu City happened to arrive today or was hiding in the town from the beginning.

I had just led the convoy two or three miles out of Minggang Town, and he brought two to three hundred officers and soldiers to chase me. We were now less than three miles away from the valley.

Although I have brought about [-] people, I am afraid it will be difficult to win against the officers and soldiers brought by Liu Xicai.

Under such circumstances, are you still willing to help me fight against the army? "

After hearing what the red lady said, some people felt as if they had been poured cold water on them. They were inevitably frightened at the thought of facing two to three hundred officers and soldiers immediately.

After all, most of them had been hungry for several days. Even with the bread that the red lady secretly sent them, it only allowed them to regain some strength, but their physical strength was still not as good as that of normal people.

Wouldn't it be a death sentence to confront the officers and soldiers like this?

But there are also people who are full of enthusiasm and say without thinking: "The dog officers and soldiers are here just in time, I will fight with them!"

"Yes, fight with them and avenge my mother who died of starvation!"

"The officers and soldiers also have one head and two arms, so they are afraid of their eggs!"

"···"

The tall and thin middle-aged man looked back at the refugees and finally said: "Everyone, we must help the Red Lady defeat the officers and soldiers - the heroine has brought food. If we don't fight off the officers and soldiers, how can we eat food? How can we be saved? ?
If the heroine is defeated by the officers and soldiers, even if the government does not blame us afterwards, will we starve to death in this valley? "

After hearing these words, those refugees who were timid and afraid of death realized that if they wanted to survive, they could only follow the Red Lady and fight against the army.

So they all expressed their opinions——

"Yes, we must help the red lady!"

"If we don't defeat the officers and soldiers, everyone will die. It's better to fight against the officers and soldiers, maybe we can still win a way to survive!"

"Fight! Fuck the slutty officers and soldiers!"

"···"

Hearing these words, the red lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, everyone was quiet about her affairs, and said to the tall, thin middle-aged man: "Uncle Guo, I will leave it to you to take charge of the affairs in the valley.

The first is to gather the young men who are willing to fight with the officers and soldiers and ask them to wait behind the mouth of the valley. I will send people to distribute weapons to them.

Second, organize young and strong women to collect firewood and dig well water, and send them to the back of the valley mouth to prepare porridge.I'll ask someone to bring the food in when I turn around. "

The tall, thin middle-aged man nodded first after hearing this, and then suggested: "Don't bring all the food in. There are still more than 2000 hungry people in the valley. It is easy to go crazy and lose control when seeing the food.

Give away a small portion first, only to those young people who are willing to fight officers and soldiers and their families.Only in this way will more people listen to our call and fight against the officers and soldiers. "

The red lady nodded, "Don't worry, Uncle Guo, I understand all this."

After finishing speaking, he drove his horse back to the mouth of the valley.
