"Brother Dashan, you're finally back! We thought something bad had happened to you on the way!"
When the two brothers returned to their residence, Jiang Cheng, who was from the same village as them, rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that neither of his two cousins was injured.
"How could I possibly get hurt? I'm perfectly fine after eating it!" Jiang Le patted his chest.
Jiang Dashan quickly pulled his younger brother over, and sure enough, he saw that his cousin looked puzzled.
Since he was going to abduct someone anyway, Jiang Dashan simply told his cousin about it.
In fact, Jiang Cheng came here because of the two of them, and that's how he joined General Weiwu's team. The three of them were originally together.
"So, Brother Dashan, we have a new place to stay again?" Jiang Cheng was overjoyed.
“This mighty general is stingy. On the surface, he treats us very well, giving us wine and meat every time we visit. But in reality, we are often hungry and cold. I have long since given up on staying here.”
Jiang Cheng said dejectedly.
At first, the general was willing to put on a show, but after a few days, their food rations began to decline.
Now that the Mighty Army has suffered a defeat and recruited even more new recruits, General Mighty doesn't even want to act anymore. These past few days, the soup Jiang Cheng has been drinking has all been ice water soup!
"Brother Dashan, if you're leaving, please take me with you!" Jiang Cheng said, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Don't worry, cousin. We'll not only leave together, but we'll also take other people with us!" Jiang Dashan smiled mysteriously.
"Bring other people?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking puzzled.
Before long, he understood that his two cousins were secretly persuading the other soldiers to take these soldiers who had been forcibly brought over with them!
Good heavens, if General Wei Wu finds out about this, he'll definitely have them all killed!
However, Jiang Cheng was a good boy. He couldn't bear to see his two cousins get slashed, so he desperately tried to cover it up.
Most of the soldiers in this Mighty Army were forcibly abducted. They were afraid that the Mighty General would harm their families, so they had no choice but to stay here.
Now that someone was willing to take them away and even found them a place where they could eat and stay, and receive either cotton-padded clothes or cotton-padded shoes every month, the group of people agreed without much hesitation.
"But Brother Dashan, if we leave, our families..."
The family members they were referring to were the elderly, women, and children who had been brought there by the Mighty Army. These people usually cooked and tended the fire for the army, as the young children had to work in the winter.
"Of course, if we leave, we will definitely take your families with us. Otherwise, would you feel comfortable leaving your elderly mother, your wife, and your children in such a dangerous place?"
After Jiang Dashan said that, everyone fell silent.
It was indeed very dangerous. They had seen countless times the elderly, weak, women and children in the military camp being bullied by the old men around the mighty general, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
Those men who followed the mighty general all had military merits, and they could do whatever they wanted without restraint. They would abduct any beautiful women they saw.
They were angry, they were afraid, but what could they do?
"So now we have a very good opportunity, which is to escape with our families!" Jiang Dashan said with a righteous expression.
"Don't worry, now that I've come up with a plan, I certainly won't risk your family's lives. I have a complete plan!"
Jiang Dashan didn't have to persuade them much; the soldiers were quickly convinced.
Three nights later, the hundreds of persuaded soldiers and their families gathered together, and a group of them wept uncontrollably.
With so many people combined, there were one or two thousand people, but strangely enough, the Mighty Army did not discover them.
"Anniang, Sister Shu, thank you for leading them away."
Liang Yu waved to several familiar figures.
Not long after, the group disappeared, but Jiang Dashan and Jiang Le stayed behind.
The next day, news spread that the elderly, women, and children had all disappeared, which infuriated the mighty general.
"A bunch of useless trash. You can't even keep an eye on those old folks. What are you good for?"
"General, please calm down. It's probably because the wind was so strong yesterday that we didn't hear anything outside." The strategist was secretly pleased to hear this.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go find it!" Kan Da Dao was furious.
"Brother, I don't think it's necessary to look for them. Why don't we just bring another batch of people? The snow outside is so heavy, who knows where they ran off to? They're just a bunch of greenhorns anyway, so what if they ran away!" Several soldiers nearby muttered.
"Why don't we bring over another batch of refugees? There are so many refugees in Liangzhou anyway. We lack everything right now, but we don't lack people!"
Kan Dadao thought it made some sense; there was no need to chase after that group of people, it didn't matter who they went to.
"Alright, then you guys hurry up and bring over a group of refugees!"
A group of soldiers worked themselves to the bone and brought in more than a thousand refugees, but three days later, the group still vanished without a trace!
This time they truly vanished into thin air. Kan Dadao ordered this group of people to go for training, but they disappeared after walking for only a short while. All that could be seen was that they had gone halfway before their footsteps stopped!
For a time, everyone in the entire Mighty Army felt insecure!
Their army is rife with evil spirits!!!
