The winter rain in Chang'an makes people sad.
Thousands of miles away in the Taier Mountains of the Peacock Kingdom, under the heavy snow, the withered cicadas were also very sad.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since I arrived here.
The three of them learned the language of the Maurya Kingdom and taught the language and writing of Daxia to everyone in the Sangbu village.
Now he knew that the population of Sangbu Village was 863, of which there were only 300 able-bodied men, and the remaining 500 or so were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
He also learned that there were eight gangs of bandits in the vast Tail Mountains, among which the gang headed by Tiwedi was the largest. They had more than 3,000 regular soldiers and more than 1,000 poor people responsible for logistics and production.
Since Tividi came to Sambu Village and failed to persuade it to surrender half a year ago, he seemed to have forgotten the existence of Sambu Village and never came again. It was said that he led 3,000 warriors to capture Zen City, which was the closest to the Taier Mountains. Tividi became the lord of Zen City and was eyeing the larger Taina City.
But he still left the more than a thousand poor people in the Tyre Mountains and sent more than a hundred soldiers to guard them. This was his retreat, because the city of Taina was a powerful city in the east, and it was guarded by another noble of the Maurya Kingdom, whose strength was comparable to Tividi.
Now it is impossible for Chamaer, the chief of Sangbu village, to surrender to Tiwedi. Tiwedi now lives in the city. In such a cold winter day, Tiwedi is roasting fire and eating barbecue with his woman in his arms. He is living a happy life and would never even look at this little bandit.
The people of Sangbu village are now short of food and clothing. Two people froze to death last night, one of whom was Nai, who was hostile to them in the past.
Abedar sat next to Kuchan. The girl curled up her legs, hugged her knees with her hands, and looked at the wind and snow outside, her body shivering slightly.
She wanted to get closer to the withered cicada, but the withered cicada would always move away intentionally or unintentionally.
This monk brother...does he really want to be a monk for the rest of his life?
"Brother Monk, what should we do now? If this continues, we won't make it to next spring. I'm afraid few of the old people and children in the village will survive."
Ku Chan said "Amitabha". He knew very well that what Ambedar said would definitely happen unless he took the initiative to change the situation.
"Come on, follow me to meet the boss."
"Meet my dad? What problem can meeting him solve?"
"When I met him, I advised him that if he wanted the people in the village to survive... then he should hand the village over to me."
Ambedar was stunned. "Can you lead the village out of this predicament?"
"I have to try..."
Ku Chan looked at the snow outside the door and thought of Fu Xiaoguan.
Fu Xiaoguan started his career in the western mountains of Linjiang. He began as a businessman and farmer. Obviously, I cannot replicate his path, but I can learn from it. If Fu Xiaoguan faced such a situation, what would he do?
He won't wait here to die!
He will definitely seize this power and then fight his way out!
There are as many as 30,000 to 40,000 bandits in the Taier Mountains.
Their current situation is no different from that of Sangbu Village. They are all facing extremely severe survival problems. What they need is a leader.
Acting in this way will cause great sins of killing, but the Bodhisattva will definitely forgive oneself, because only killing can save more people.
He took Ambeddar to the room of the chief lord Chamal, and it took him half an hour to convince Chamal.
That night, a meeting was held in Sangbu Village, at which Chamar announced Kuchan as the new leader of Sangbu Village.
Just as everyone in the village was extremely shocked, Ku Chan stood on the stage and said only one sentence: "If you don't want to die... from now on, you will obey me!"
No one wants to die. They don’t know where this monk from outside will take them, but as long as they can survive, what does it matter if he becomes the boss?
What's more, these three monks have done a lot for the village in the past six months. They have no roots in this land, and they also need people like us.
So, everyone accepted this result, and Kuchan immediately announced the establishment of the Sangbu Volunteer Army.
This is a righteous army with only 300 strong men, and its name is Tianyu Army!
That night, Sangbu Village was bustling with activity. Under the order of the new leader, the entire village took out most of their stored food, and everyone had a full meal in the snow, because the new leader said they would set off tomorrow to Butuo Village, which was the closest to Sangbu Village.
The boss wanted to talk to the boss of Butuo Village to discuss food, money and women.
Before dawn the next day, Ku Chan, his two disciples and three hundred Tianyu soldiers left Sangbu Village and went to Butuo Village.
Two days later they arrived at Bhutto's village.
The withered cicada's staff was stained with blood.
Bhutto's village was larger than Sangbu's. He led the Tianyu Army and killed more than 300 people.
Under the horrified gazes of the other thousand people, he once again stood on the platform and said in the language of the Peacock Nation: "Follow me, only then can you survive!"
Two days later, the number of Tianyu Army reached one thousand!
A month later, the Tianyu Army unified all the bandits in the Taier Mountains!
The number of Tianyu Army has reached six thousand!
He set out again with 6,000 men. They would starve to death in the mountains, so he needed a base - the city of Garland.
Garland City is not big and its location is extremely remote, but in Kuchan's opinion it is a good place.
After occupying this city, there is fertile land around it. The women, children, the elderly and the young in the mountains can come out of the mountains, live in the city, cultivate the land, and accumulate food and grass for the next expedition of the Tianyu Army.
While recruiting these bandits, he did not forget how to educate them.
He began to teach them the Daxia language and also established the various rules of the Tianyu Army for them. All of this was very similar to the military discipline of the former Divine Sword Army, but he did not have time to train this army using the Divine Sword Army's training methods.
"Everything will be decided after we capture Garland City!"
"Remember, everyone! The Tianyu Army is not bandits! We were born to fulfill God's will. We are determined to restore this country and ensure that all its people can live a stable, healthy, and happy life!"
"This is just the beginning. We still need many years to complete this arduous task!"
His words were profound, but how could these bandits, who were originally just peasants, understand them? They thought the leader's ideals seemed extremely great, but at the moment, all they needed was a meal.
The next thing that Ku Chan needs to do is to get a meal.
The Tianyu Army left the Tyre Mountains and headed towards the city of Garland.
At almost the same time, a mysterious caravan from Daxia crossed the Snow Mountain.
The first city you arrive at after crossing the Great Snow Mountain must be Garland.
An old woman in black with a weathered face stood in the bleak cold wind and looked back at the snow-capped mountains. She smiled, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.
