Zhenguan, they came to the right place

All the soldiers were shocked.

They couldn't imagine that these people were the peasant uprising army that the Yellow Flag Army and the Luze Army wanted to win over! Now, they were all brought to Zhenguan by General Chen Wu!

There are a total of 120,000 people!

Those who came to Zhenguan together were not only the uprising army, but also their families. Such a large group of people, dragging their families and traveling a long distance to Zhenguan!

The number of people in Zhenguan doubled again, and the force reached 300,000!

Now, even if the three parties of Chu, Qi, the barbarians and Yan and Yongguo joined forces to attack Zhenguan.

They can never capture it again!

Because Zhenguan will never lack troops again!

Zhan Chengyin rode on his horse and said to the other soldiers: "Let's go and welcome Chen Wu back to the city!"

"Yes, General!"

Several soldiers, together with Xu Huai's generals, galloped towards the city gate. When

the people heard that General Chen Wu had returned, they put down their work and spontaneously came to the city gate to welcome the general's return.

They brought kettles and porcelain bowls to hold water. Some people who cooked porridge at home waited at the city gate with porridge.

An hour later, when everyone saw a large group of people and horses about to arrive at the town,the people on the city wall cheered. "I saw it, it's General Chen Wu, he's back!"

"He brought a lot of people back!"

"The horse he rides is so tall!"

Chen Kui saw Chen Wu. He had been out for more than a month, and he had lost weight and become stronger!

"This guy did a big thing without saying a word. The Yellow Flag Army and the Luze Army both wanted to win over the peasant uprising army, but they didn't expect to be lured back by Chen Wu!"

Zhuang Liang smiled and said, "General Chen Wu has always been capable, but I don't know if they are willing to stay?"

Zhan Chengyin said firmly, "They will definitely stay!"

They don't want to stay, but we have to create conditions to make them stay.

This group of people plays a vital role in Zhenguan, and perhaps they will be his vanguard troops in the future!

The generals know that as long as they enter the city gate, they basically can't escape.

Who is willing to give up a good life and live a precarious life outside?

When Chen Wu and his party approached, he saw Zhan Chengyin leading the generals and soldiers and civilians to greet them at the city gate.

A mouthful of white teeth appeared on his dark face. He immediately turned over and dismounted, and came to see Zhan Chengyin with several tall, thin but bright-eyed men around him.

Chen Wu half-knelt and bowed, saying, "General, I am late!"

Zhan Chengyin smiled and said, "Get up, General Chen Wu has worked hard!"

"I am not suffering, but I have not completed the tasks assigned by the general, and I am afraid that I am uneasy!"

The big man with a curly beard beside him lifted him up, "General, don't blame me, Chen Wu was unable to complete the general's task because he wanted to save my people."

Zhan Chengyin looked at the big man with a curly beard, who was burly and looked very tall.

Judging from his face, he didn't have any scheming, just an ordinary villager.

Chen Wu hurriedly explained to Zhan Chengyin, "General, his name is Wu Li, and he is the leader of the peasant uprising army."

The big man smiled and scratched his head.

"What leader or not? The villagers trust me, and the brothers give their lives to me. I am just someone who gives advice to everyone."

"If it weren't for Brother Chen Wu bringing medicine and curing many of us, hey, several of my brothers would not have survived."

"General, I know you. You defeated hundreds of thousands of Chuqi barbarians and made us Daqi people more powerful. Those little calves will never dare to come in again." Then he said shyly, "We really can't survive. Brother Chen Wu said there is food and endless drinking water here. I simply brought my brothers to Zhenguan for refuge. Please don't despise us!"

Zhan Chengyin shook his head. "I won't despise anyone, and welcome everyone to Zhenguan."

Then, while waiting for the large army behind, they chatted.

Wu Li talked about the origin of the peasant uprising army.

They were all from the same village. The treasure they found was just the tomb of a tribal leader from the early years, which contained a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

In order to keep the villagers alive, they wanted to take out all the gold, silver and jewelry and exchange them for food in the big city so that the villagers who were starving to death in the village could survive!

But somehow, the news got out. Whenever they left the village, they were targeted and robbed by bandits.

There was no choice but to mobilize all the young and strong men in the village to exchange for food, and they were never robbed again. They

were probably all strong men, forming gangs and factions and swaggering around the city.

They became an insurgent army inexplicably.

Many strong men from nearby villages came to join them, but no one could eat enough in those days. Sometimes they couldn't even get enough food even if they took out money.

As more and more people gathered, there was not enough food.

They prepared to go to other cities to buy food...

but there is no food everywhere, many people are starving to death, in the most desperate moment...

At the most critical moment, Wu Lika's voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak anymore. His throat was so dry that it was smoking.

The villagers wanted to listen to it, so they hurriedly handed over the porcelain bowl of water in their hands.

He took it without hesitation, drank a few sips, and immediately gave it to the brother next to him. After the brother took the bowl and drank a few sips, he passed it to the next person, one after another, each of them drank a few small sips, always wanting to leave it for the next person.

It can be seen that this group of rebels value feelings and loyalty, and can share honor and disgrace, and trust each other with life and death.

Wu Li continued, "General, I know that bringing so many people here, and keeping us here will cost a lot of water and food."

"We will never eat for free. If you are willing to use us, we will all join the Zhan family army. If you are not willing to use us, we will come here to help farm."

"As long as we are given a bite of food and we are not starving to death, we are willing to work like cows and horses!"

The people could no longer listen and offered the porridge bowls with both hands.

Wu Li did not speak, and some people did not dare to take it. The people forced it into their arms!

When Wu Li saw the white porridge, his eyes were instantly wet, and he took it with trembling hands.

This is thick porridge made from white rice!

Chen Wu took out some white rice from the dry food he brought and gave it to the starving people to eat.

That was raw rice!

There was no water to make porridge

. He had never eaten white porridge before. He couldn't wait to lower his head and taste it...

Tears welled up in his eyes!

The best rice porridge, with vegetables in it, retaining the aroma of vegetables...

He ate a few bites with tears in his eyes and passed it to the next person.

The man ate a few bites, his eyes also reddened, and passed it to the third person.

Whether it was water or white porridge, they only ate a few bites, in order to keep more people alive, they suppressed their appetite to the minimum.

Many people saw it, turned around and wiped their tears quietly!

They had also lived such a hard life.

Now everything is getting better. Not only do they have porridge stalls every day, but they can also get food for working.

Almost every household can get food every day and will never go hungry again.

The large army assembled at the city gate and entered the city.

At the moment when more than 100,000 people walked into the town, the people on both sides of the road handed them a bowl of water.

After they finished drinking the water, they were given a bowl of porridge...

Many rebel brothers held the bowl, tears fell into the porridge, and ate the porridge and tears together.

Zhenguan, they came to the right place!

The people all had rice porridge to drink, and they were generous in giving them water.

Unlike the previous city, they turned a blind eye to them, and they were driven out before they even approached the city gate!

Now all the people in Zhenguan are welcoming them, giving them water and food!

Zhenguan must have sufficient supplies.

All of their hundreds of thousands of people can survive!
