The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 34 Wang You
"Brother, Yanchuan County is closed."

Someone came close to Wang You and looked at the closed gate of Yanchuan County under the sun that had not yet fully set.

Wang You squinted his eyes and looked at the small county in the distance. Compared with Chengcheng County, the city in Yanchuan County was obviously taller, but it was only a few.

"It's normal. When we were in Cheng County, the city gate was not closed tightly," Wang You said slowly, "I guess it was because he was afraid that the victims would be prepared and gather to attack the county seat."

Wang You is surrounded by a group of disaster victims dressed in rags. They were all disaster victims in the past, but now they are very good at acting. At least there is nothing obvious from the costumes.

"Then what should we do? Do you want to come over and take a look?"

asked the boy next to him.

"Are you stupid? These people are worried about the victims. What are we doing here? Brother asked us to take a look at the situation around Yanchuan County. The most important thing is Yanchuan County's response to yesterday's rebellion."

"Right now, Yanchuan County is closed, and officials and citizens cannot enter or leave. Obviously, even if there are imperial soldiers and horses in this place, they are just a bunch of weaklings."

"We are looking nearby to see if there are any victims who escaped yesterday. These victims are the best soldiers."

Wang You waved his hand and took his younger brother away from the outside of Yanchuan County. Many victims were killed yesterday. Those victims would definitely hate the Ming army even more after being treated like this. Wouldn't it be natural to join the rebel army?

Those victims who were able to gather around here must be villagers from nearby villages. Wang You led everyone to search around Yanchuan County.

There was still about an hour before dark, so they were not in a hurry. After all, when they were victims of the disaster, they had to eat and sleep in the open air every day. The sky was like the quilt and the ground was like a bed. Sleeping in the wilderness was just a daily routine.

"Go this way," Wang You looked at the rolling hillsides in the distance. He was from northern Shaanxi himself, so he naturally knew what kind of places there were villages. At the same time, such terrain was also very suitable for escape.

Just hide in a mountain col and you won't see anyone.

The crowd followed Wang You and walked for about five miles. Wang You keenly saw a figure who immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain after seeing them.

"Is there someone on sentry duty?"

Wang You didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he was a little happy because there was someone standing guard here. They were obviously the victims who were hunted down yesterday. They were afraid that the government would send troops to catch them up, so they left a sentry post here. However, this person was a little uncomfortable. Professional, it was so easy for them to see.

"Come on, let's go over and see if they are the victims of yesterday's disaster." They are now dressed as victims of the disaster. The other party can tell at a glance that they are victims of the disaster. They will not do anything drastic. At the next time, they just need to make it clear and report it smoothly. With the king's name, these people will definitely join their ranks.

Wang You has already thought about it.

A group of people followed Wang You and walked less than a hundred meters when they saw a group of people coming from a distance, all holding sticks. However, Wang You's brows jumped when he looked at the sticks. Those sticks were too straight, and these people Although they were dressed plainly, they were a little better than the victims.

Especially the man at the head, who had a majestic appearance and carried a sword at his waist. When Wang You changed his clothes, he would have thought he was the son of some landowner.

"Am I guessing wrong?"

Wang You thought in his heart, but this is the situation now. Since the other party is not an officer or soldier, it will be easy to talk. He walked forward, preparing to test it out by pretending to be a disaster victim.

"This fellow, does he have anything to eat? Can you please give me some food?"

Wang You pretended to be pitiful, bowed his body and said.

Liu Zhenhua looked at this group of people. He was training troops in Zhangjiacun behind the mountain.A whole morning and half an afternoon finally taught them the most basic training methods.

Formation, military posture, orderliness of the training team, running, swinging steel bars and smashing, training of physical endurance, these are just the beginning, there are many things to be trained later.

Just as he was about to finish, the sentry at the head of the village ran back and told him that a bunch of victims were coming outside.

The person on duty was Ren Heitu. This was what Liu Zhenhua thought of at noon. Now that they were on the right track, there must be someone on duty in their base area.

No, it worked, and a group of approaching disaster victims were discovered in advance.

Looking at these victims, Liu Zhenhua always felt something was wrong. The eyes of these victims were too bright, and although there were traces of dirt on their faces, there was some flesh on their cheeks.

This doesn't look like a disaster victim.

Liu Zhenhua's heart was pounding, "Could it be that the Ming army was pretending to be a disaster victim?"

He almost had the urge to let the people around him take action directly, but he resisted. He then thought about it. If the Ming Dynasty army was willing to pretend to be a refugee to investigate when dealing with a disaster victim uprising army, how could they let the uprising army fight like this? Is it miserable?

Looking at the closed gates of Yanchuan County in the morning, I thought about the horse bandits fleeing outside Tianjin, so arrogant that they robbed and killed refugees under the noses of the Ming army.

These Ming troops did nothing at all. Unless they gave a fatal order from above, they should not take action against the rebels.

How could it be possible to engage in such a disguised strategy now?

"Is it the rebels elsewhere?"

Such an idea came to Liu Zhenhua's mind.

"We have been hungry for a long time. There is no food in the village. You can go somewhere else," Liu Zhenhua said, looking at these people.

As long as they are not victims of the disaster, Liu Zhenhua does not want to interact with them now. Since these people have rebelled, they have already become leaders and have tasted the taste of power, making it difficult to control them.

Liu Zhenhua's current team is too small. Even if he has the ability to change meals out of thin air, there is no guarantee that the leaders of the rebels will have other ideas. If they want to absorb these rebels, they must at least wait until Liu Zhenhua When there are more than 800 people in the team, if you want to annex others, you must be strong.

At the moment, it is better to find the victims steadily and convert them into combat effectiveness. It is most appropriate to find the victims.

People around him were puzzled by Liu Zhenhua's words, but they knew that Liu Zhenhua's words were truth and absolute orders that could not be argued and could only be looked at.

When Wang You heard Liu Zhenhua's words and looked at his appraising eyes, he knew that Liu Zhenhua could probably tell that they were not ordinary victims. Thinking of this, he directly cupped his hands and said to Liu Zhenhua.

"Brother, to be honest, we are not considered victims of the disaster."

Liu Zhenhua was not surprised. The people around him showed such expressions. It turned out that the young master had already seen the details of this group of people, and now he was even more in awe of Liu Zhenhua. He was worthy of being a god.

Liu Zhenhua did not speak, but still looked at Wang You. Since he announced his identity, he should ask for something. He just had to wait to see what the man in front of him had to say.

"I am the king of Xiabaishui County. I followed King Dashun to organize events the year before last. I see that my brother's demeanor is not that of an ordinary person. Why don't you join us to organize events together and seek a great cause?"
