Chapter 743 You Must Be Liars
The Jun people attach great importance to Jiji Mountain, but the team led by Shengze is very skilled, especially good at spying and escaping, so it is still easy for them to pass through without being noticed.
But they can't take this road when they go back. Shengze and his men can pass through smoothly, but the refugees can't.
Sheng Ze pointed to the map in his arms and said, "There's a cave on the cliff face just past here. There should be some refugees there."
"General, where should we take these people after we find them?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Sheng Ze circled the map with his finger. "Here, we go down from Qishan, not to Chenzhou Wharf. Go south. It will take about three days to reach the lower reaches of Lanjiang River. From there, we can cross the river and return to northern Hubei."
He was very familiar with this road, having walked it once before with Ling Yun.
"We don't have a boat to cross the river, how are we going to get across?" The others were even more confused.
Sheng Ze said calmly, "We'll find a way when the time comes. All you have to do is persuade the refugees to go to northern Hubei with us."
After the agreement was reached, these people were divided into ten groups and dispersed into the mountains.
Each of their groups has a team leader, and the team leader has a map prepared by Sheng Ze in advance. As long as they follow what he says, they will not get lost. In three days, they will be able to meet in the valley where they fought the Jun people last time.
Having walked the exile route on Qishan once, Shengze was much more familiar with it than others.
The team he led was the first refugee group to find a way into the mountains to survive.
"No matter who you are, get out of here! We don't welcome outsiders here." Someone shouted when he heard the noise.
Shengze led his men closer. The team leader was a very kind baby-faced soldier. After hearing the refugees' shouts, he ran forward alone, stood in the open space and shouted to the newly built huts.
"Don't be afraid, fellow villagers. We are the Ebei Army, and we are here to lead you to a better life!"
Everyone in the thatched cottage was stunned when they heard this.
How come the Ebei Army appeared here?
No, isn't there a drought in northern Hubei? And they say they want to lead them to a good life. I'm afraid they are just scammers.
"No matter who you are, don't think we don't know what you're up to. Forget that idea! We have over 300 of us here, don't even think about stealing our food!"
"Right! How could the Hubei Northern Army possibly come here? Don't try to trick us!"
"We won't give up this spring! Get out of here!"
Shengze and others were confused by what these people said. Are the people nowadays so stubborn that they don’t even want a good life?
It was Sheng Ze who reacted first and stood up and said, "Fellow villagers, please listen to me."
He stood alone at the spot closest to the hut and said loudly, "I know you've suffered from a drought and there's no water outside the mountains, but we in northern Hubei have no shortage of water or food!"
"Besides, you are not safe here. The Jun people may come to find you at any time. Even if you have 300 people, the Jun people are brave and good at fighting. I am afraid that only a few dozen of them can capture you all."
"Also, Prince Zhao has shipped all the valuables to Jinzhou, and the imperial court won't care about the lives of ordinary people. Even if the drought is over, rebuilding your homes will be difficult. Come to northern Hubei! General Liang and Lord Zheng Shicheng welcome everyone!"
He rarely spoke so many words at once, and he didn't know if what he said was right or not, but everything he said was from the other party's perspective. The last sentence was purely learned from the mobilization meeting on TV in that dream.
"It's impossible that Lord Zheng is in northern Hubei! You must be liars!"
