Chapter 174
Lying on Zhang Cai's bed, Gao Shun finally had time to rest.
The old woman who asked him about her grandson had already left. After hearing Gao Shun's answer, she seemed to relax, and Gao Shun couldn't hear what she was saying. Helped go back.
Later, Gao followed Zhang Cai back to Zhang Cai's home by the way.
The rest of the soldiers don’t need Gao Shun to worry, almost all of them have relatives here, and some of them have no relatives, such as Tan Liujinyu, and they also have their own old houses, and they can also make a living with their neighbors and comrades-in-arms. Worry about food and shelter.
Therefore, Gao Shun felt at ease and had dinner with Zhang Cai's family.
In fact, the villagers, including Zhang Cai's family, have eaten it, just to rekindle the fire for the soldiers to cook.
Because Gao Shun still needs to do something tomorrow, he didn't drink with Zhang Cai, and took a rest after eating some hot food.
Tomorrow, what will you do tomorrow?Well, let's go up the mountain and have a look.Gao Shun thought to himself, and slowly fell asleep.
………………
The timeline stretched to the second day after Gao Shun finished the celebration banquet, the day before the trapped camp set off. Hua Liang led the soldiers to find a town.
That town was found by Hualiang's road exploration before, and it is quite large, enough for nearly a thousand of them to settle down.
Of course, although that town was not far from Wuming Town, no one in Wuming Town knew about it.
This is normal, after all, few people go out, and even if they go out, they will not go to other towns, but to Xiapi City or a larger city further away.
Besides, Hualiang, he didn't stay in the town much, not even two days, he just begged for some rations and medicinal herbs in the town, rested for a day, and then left.
It's not that he doesn't want to stay longer, you know, there is nowhere else for him to go except this town, unless he falls into trouble.
But it would be fine if he was alone. He has hundreds or thousands of people here. The target is too big, and it is too easy to be discovered by the surrounding counties.
Even if they were not discovered, if some villagers went to complain and the defenders surrounded them, this group of defeated friends would have no choice but to run away!
So Hua Liang asked for some necessary supplies by force, and set off on the journey again.
This is not a decision that can be made easily, because there are too many injured soldiers, and they all want to stay there to recuperate honestly, instead of running around. Hua Liang named them leaving and caused a mutiny. After killing a few of the people who took the lead in making trouble, I'm afraid they have been overthrown by this time.
"We have to go. Now that we have got the food and the herbs, we can find a mountain cat and wait for the brothers to raise them before going out. I will go out to buy some food and grass during this time, so I should be able to survive. "
This is what Hua Liang said to his bodyguards. He had no money, but Yuan Shu had a lot of exquisite jewelry, so becoming a pawn could make a lot of money, at least enough for them to survive for a while.
It's funny to say that Hua Liang was someone else's personal guard captain a few days ago, but now he has his own personal guard. I don't know if his personal guard captain will carry on this tradition.
The mountain that Hualiang found was none other than Yuyang Mountain not far from Wuming Town.
Of course, since Hualiang found this mountain, he also found Wuming Town, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't want to restrain his troops and went straight up the mountain.
As I said before, Yuyang Mountain has two cottages, one is Qingfeng Village and the other is Qiujia Village.
The Qingfeng Village was set ablaze by their creditors, but the Qiu Family Village didn't suffer any losses, and the original buildings are still there.
If it wasn't for the better location of Qingfeng Village than Qiu's Village, Gao Shun would have chosen Qiu's Village as Fang San and Chen Fu's base.
Therefore, Hua Liang set his sights on the Qiujia Village.
The scouts he sent found out that there were no other forces on this mountain, only an abandoned cottage, so Hua Liang decided to stay here.
Isn't this place nice?There is a big town a few tens of miles away, and a county seat a hundred miles away. This distance is just right, not only convenient for them to plunder, but also not frequently attacked by the government army. It couldn't be better.
As for why the scouts sent out by Hualiang did not find Chen Fu and the others, it may be that they hid it too well, or it may be that the scouts were unprofessional or too lazy to fool Hualiang casually. In short, the result is that Hualiang led his men to station in Yuyang Mountain, and there is no defense.
Does Chen Fu know?of course I know.
He is not a fool, Chen Fu has always kept Gao Shun's instructions in mind, and acted carefully. The scouts let out ten or twenty scouts, and he knew what was going on at the foot of the mountain.
So when Hualiang's troops came to the foot of the mountain and were inclined to go up the mountain, Chen Fu knew it.
Sitting in the lobby of Qingfengzhai, Chen Fu crossed his hands, looked at the few present, and said, "What do you guys think?"
He is no longer the taciturn Chen Fu. After this period of training, he can really suppress these people.
There were five people present including Chen Fu, three of them were Chen Fu and a Du Bo who was originally trapped in the camp, and the other two were Qiu San and a companion he developed.
After this period of time, Qingfeng Village has also grown to a large scale. Now there are more than 2000 people in the village, and nearly a thousand strong men. Most of them have been trained by the soldiers who were originally trapped in the camp. They may not be strong in combat, but they can wear The last guy's story is pretty bluffing.
Moreover, Qingfengzhai has opened up a lot of fields, and there is no need to plunder to make a living. This is what Gao Shun stipulated for them at the beginning.
Of course, Gao Shun didn't say no to those gentry and rich men. Chen Fu led dozens of soldiers to rob a caravan and received a lot of goods at the beginning, so the funds Gao Shun gave him have not been used up until now.
When the scale got a little bigger, Chen Fu sent people to bring back the refugees and beggars, give them food and shelter, lend them fields and houses, and let them farm. Of course, this is also the plan Gao Shun handed over to Chen Fu.
In this way, within a few months, Qingfeng Village has grown from dozens of people to more than 2000 people, and if Chen Fu hadn't ordered to stop accepting refugees, the number of people might have exceeded 3000 already.
The main reason for refusing to accept the refugees was because Chen Fu felt that the development was too fast, and there were all kinds of people in the stockade. He wanted to rectify the stockade, select some people who fished in troubled waters, and avoid leading the stockade astray.
In fact, his decision was correct. There used to be some thieves in the village, but now there are no traces at all. Everyone performs their duties, and the entire village is harmonious and orderly, just like a paradise.
Of course, there won't be any problems in this way in a short period of time. Over time, various situations will arise, because people are greedy.
But Chen Fu could only go so far.
