Chapter 273: Frustration

Zhao Xiaozhu could not ride a horse, so a soldier took him back to Qianqiu Village on horseback.

Not to mention, riding a horse for the first time was so exciting.

In the village, Uncle Meng had been waiting uneasily at the entrance of the village. He didn't know whether his plan would succeed. Even shortly after Zhu Zhu and the others left, he felt a little regretful.

Isn't it crazy to let the rebels go to the military camp to win over the troops to rebel? If those soldiers repay kindness and capture Zhu Zhu and others to receive the reward, then Zhu Zhu and others will not be able to come back.

Moreover, the treatment of Dayu's army is really good, and there is really no need for those soldiers to take risks with them.

Waiting with Uncle Meng were several other people, villagers who were as worried as Uncle Meng, and Zhuzi's family members.

"Lao Meng, do you think Zhuzhu and the others can succeed?"

The person who asked the question was Zhao Xiaozhu's father. Although he was not anxiously surrounded here, his worries were clearly revealed. He had already asked this question several times.

"Old Zhao, don't worry, Zhu Zhu and the others are so smart, they will be fine."

Uncle Meng tried to comfort him, but he was very unsure.

No matter how I think about my whimsical plan now, I think it is impossible. I won't really send Zhu Zhu and the others into the tiger's mouth, right?

At this moment, Uncle Meng saw a shaking black spot in the distance, which seemed to be moving in the direction of the village. As the black spot got closer and closer to the village entrance, Uncle Meng gradually saw clearly that it was a flying horse.

Run towards Qianqiu Village.

The sound of horse hoofbeats came, and Uncle Meng gradually saw clearly that it was a soldier coming.

Soldier? What are you here for? Good news or bad news?

Uncle Meng felt a little uneasy, and his intuition told him that the reason why the soldier came here must be related to their rebellion plan. Whether Zhu Zhu and the others succeed, and where the village will go, depends on what news this soldier brings them.

"Uncle Meng, Dad, and everyone, I'm back!"

Zhao Xiaozhu, who was hiding behind the soldiers, tilted his body, revealed himself, and waved to everyone at the entrance of the village.

It's no wonder that Uncle Meng couldn't see that these soldiers were all tall, mighty and strong. Compared with them, Zhao Xiaozhu was much thinner and would be completely covered.

"Hey! Zhuzi! Zhuzi is back, so my plan was successful, right?"

Uncle Meng happily jumped three feet high and clapped his hands in excitement.

"Uu——"

The soldier galloped his horse to the entrance of the village, pulled the reins, and stopped the horse. Upon seeing this, Uncle Meng and the others hurried forward to greet him.

"Good news, the matter has been settled." Zhao Xiaozhu said excitedly.

After saying that, Zhao Xiaozhu wanted to get off his horse, but suddenly his head felt dizzy and his body was about to fall down out of control.

"Hey, hey, my son!"

Zhao Xiaozhu's father had quick eyesight and quick hands. He caught Zhao Xiaozhu before he fell to the ground and dragged him off the horse.

"Oh, my son has suffered a lot."

After getting off the horse, Zhao Xiaozhu shook his head. He bumped all the way on the horse, almost out of his mind. I have to say, it feels so good to be down to earth now.

"Good news, we succeeded... let this big brother tell you the details."

Zhao Xiaozhu sat down on the ground, his head was a little dizzy and he had to slow down.

"Hey, this kid is really tired. Let's go to the village first. Lao Zhao, you take your son home to rest first."

Uncle Meng invited everyone to go to the village to chat. After all, they knew it was good news, so there was no need to worry.



Zhao Xiaozhu was sent home to rest, while the soldier went to Uncle Meng's house with Uncle Meng and the others to talk about what happened in Qingcheng.

The news they brought back was indeed good news, and was it a little too good?

Even Uncle Meng couldn't imagine that the plan was progressing so fast. He only had the idea of ​​​​rebellion in the morning, but in the afternoon he heard that Qingcheng had been obtained.

"Let's go to Qingcheng. Let's discuss the rest of the matter in Qingcheng."



Zhao Xiaozhu had not rested for too long, so he slept for a long time. When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Having breakfast with his father, Zhao Xiaozhu asked:

"Are Uncle Meng and the others still in the village now?"

"No, they left yesterday afternoon. Now, they should be recruiting troops. It won't be long before they can take over the entire Qingzhou."

Old Zhao was chewing the hind leg meat of a monster beast. Now in Qianqiu Village, the poor can only eat meat.

"I didn't expect that one day we would really rebel. Dad, are you panic?"

"Don't worry, our Qianqiu Village is protected by the Mountain Goddess, so Emperor Dayu, he is nothing."

It’s a lie to say you’re not panicking, but you can’t lose your standing in front of your son, right?



In Qingcheng, things did not go as smoothly as they expected.

Guo Liang and Uncle Meng looked at a gold and silver hill speechlessly, and suddenly had the urge to smash the hill to pieces.

"Brother Meng, we really can't recruit soldiers. There is no food to rely on in this mountain of gold and silver. Now in the winter, many people are suffering from cold and hunger. Just having money is meaningless."

Guo Liang looked at the gold and silver hill with disgust. He originally thought that with so much gold and silver, it would be easy to recruit troops, but after struggling for a long time, he couldn't recruit anyone.

Uncle Meng also shook his head helplessly. The food stores in the city had long been out of food. Even if they had money, they couldn't buy food.

"Oh, those people, when they heard that we were rebelling, they ran away faster than rabbits one by one. No matter how much money we gave them, they didn't want to stay. It's difficult. By the way, how did the Qingcheng garrison handle it before?"

"Those defenders..."

Guo Liang lowered his head in annoyance.

"Going to jail."

The most unsatisfactory thing was the Qingcheng defenders. They originally thought that if they captured the general who defended the city, they would obey orders. However, after the soldiers learned that they were going to rebel, none of them cooperated, and they all wanted to resist them.

, intending to rescue the Qingcheng guard.

In the eyes of this group of soldiers, rebellion is death, and being a deserter is death. If they want to survive, they can only rescue the generals who defend the city and suppress the rebellion.

But they obviously overestimated themselves and underestimated Guo Liang and the others. Guo Liang and the others were the elite among the elite. Compared with this loose group of miscellaneous soldiers, Guo Liang and the others could fight one against ten. If they fought in formation, the gap would be even greater.

Don't look at it. Guo Liang and the others now only have about a hundred or so people, fighting in formation. It took them half an hour to overthrow all the three thousand guards in Qingcheng.

Now that those soldiers have been thrown into prison, the only available troops in Qingcheng are Guo Liang and the others, who are about a hundred or so. They can't recruit troops. They have gold and silver, but it's meaningless.

"It's useless to keep this gold and silver. Each of you should keep some, and then distribute the rest to the people of Qingcheng. This is also theirs. Alas, food and grass... There is meat in Qianqiu Village. Let's have some shipped over.
