Outside Qingyang Mansion, more than two hundred miles away from Yan'an Mansion, a group of ragged refugees slowly walked over from the official road in the distance.
Wang Er walked at the front of the team.
In the past two months, he has traveled around Shaanxi. At the most, he had gathered more than a thousand people and threatened tens of thousands of refugees. That was almost the most glorious time in his life. However, at this moment, except for those behind him,
With these dozen die-hards, all his efforts in the past two months have completely disappeared.
Food, all because of food!
He was able to gather so many people because he had food in his hands. However, the people who gathered dispersed again because of the food. He just had an encounter with another group of refugees whose origins he didn't even know at night.
He had ended up where he was now. If he hadn't run away so fast with his henchmen, he felt that he would have lost his life in that town.
On the ground in Shaanxi, the biggest enemy of the refugees is the refugees. As for the government, since the ridiculous Trilateral Governor took office, almost all the refugee leaders who can gather people have not taken the government seriously.
Anyway, the government will not easily send troops to fight them. Even if they do send troops, it won't be a big deal if they can't defeat them and surrender on the spot. They can still have a few meals.
Being caught by the government is nothing more than confessing, repenting, and then kowtowing to the imaginary dragon throne. The funny governor will forgive their sins, and then nothing will happen.
Of course, for Wang Er, except for Yan'an Mansion, the officers and soldiers there seemed to be completely different from the officers and soldiers of the three governor-general mansions.
The city gate of Qingyang Mansion was wide open, and there was no flag of the imperial army on the city wall, but a huge flag with the word "王" in it. Wang Er breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Thinking about it, the news he knew this time should be
There is no mistake, Qingyang Mansion was really defeated by Marshal Wang's troops.
Wang Er looked at the flag at the top of the city with some jealousy. If he had captured Yan'an Mansion, he should be in the same situation as Wang Jiayin of Qingyang Mansion now! Sitting on the land of a mansion, that would be terrible
Once we have the foundation, and then heroes from three mountains and five mountains come to surrender, the soldiers and horses will be mobilized at once. By then, even if we are king and hegemon in Shaanxi, who can still control it?
At least, that coward-like governor of the three sides is not capable of this!
It's a pity that Wang Jiayin is now the one sitting in Qingyang Mansion, and he, Wang Er, has become the one who came to vote.
The guards at the city gate stopped these people, asked them casually, and let them into the city. Recently, there have been many people coming to Qingyang Mansion in groups like this. The guards were not worried at all that they would cause trouble in the city.
What happened? They were even happy to see these guys actually causing some trouble in the city. Otherwise, who knows what kind of people these people who come to Qingyang Mansion are?
Marshal Wang's army does not support useless people who only know how to eat.
Wang Er directly found the Shuaifu, the former magistrate's office of Qingyang Prefecture. He benefited from passing news with Wang Jiayin when he was powerful, so compared to those guys with unknown origins, he could do it easily.
I met Wang Jiayin.
"Brother Wang Er is here, I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Wang Jiayin's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, but Wang Er still saw a sense of contempt floating through his enthusiasm.
There is no such thing as affection between refugees, everything depends on strength, and Wang Er knew clearly that Wang Jiayin came to see him because of the previous relationship. However, if he didn't do something to prove that he was nothing more than
If there are other values besides strength, there is a high probability that he will never have such an opportunity to be received by Wang Jiayin in the future.
It is no longer possible for a person with thousands of troops in his hands and a person with only a dozen or so people to continue talking on an equal footing.
"The commander-in-chief knows everything about me!"
"Don't worry, I've already asked about it. Did something happen to you in Xin'an? The ones who have caused a lot of trouble in Xin'an recently are either the land-grabbing tigers or the Hunjianglongs. When there is a chance, if they don't know each other,
, I will definitely avenge you, brother!"
Listening to the other party yelling haha, Wang Er smiled bitterly in his heart. Is this a lie and revenge for himself?
But there was a look of gratitude on his face: "That's my Wang Er's bad luck. No wonder their brothers. Wang Er doesn't resent them at all. If there is a chance, if the commander can conquer them as the best, then
When the commander-in-chief has strong soldiers and horses, Wang Er can also follow the commander-in-chief and have a chance to survive!"
"Brother Wang is really open-minded. Don't worry, as long as you come to join me, I will not treat you badly. When you come back, I will arrange a place for you to eat and live. Stay with me with peace of mind. I have a lot to rely on you."
place!"
This was the time to end this meeting. Wang Er felt anxious, knowing that if he didn't speak, he would have no chance in the future. He stood up and stood in awe with his fists clasped: "Wang Er doesn't dare to come empty-handed and surrender to the commander-in-chief!"
"Oh!" Wang Jiayin was about to leave, but when he saw the other party suddenly speaking, he turned around in a funny way: "I don't lack gold and silver for the time being. If the two brothers Wang have this intention, I will be very happy.
!”
"As for the food, does the commander have a shortage of food?" Wang Er asked: "If Wang Er's guess is correct, the food reserves in Qingyang Mansion may not be able to support the commander's troops for too long. Regardless of whether the commander is occupying Qingyang,
Mansion, it’s better to go to the next place where the commander-in-chief’s foundation can be achieved. You can’t have less of this food!”
"Do you have food?" Wang Jiayin looked at Wang Er and finally looked serious.
"I don't have it, but I know where it is!" Wang Er said: "Wang Er, the brothers are scattered now, and they are also thanks to that place. It's just that we, Wang Er, were weak back then and couldn't take it. But
Marshal is different!"
"Where?" Wang Jiayin looked at him and asked in a deep voice.
"Yan'an Prefecture!" Wang Er said categorically, without any hesitation: "All the guards of Yan'an Prefecture have been transferred to Guyuan. The guards in the prefecture are just a group of old soldiers from the capital. I once fought with them
If the commander-in-chief is interested, Wang Er is willing to report all the details of the battle with the officers and soldiers that day to the commander-in-chief!"
"I don't care whether there are officers or soldiers!" Wang Jiayin interrupted Wang Er: "I just want to know why you are sure that Yan'an Prefecture has food, how much food they have, and have you sent spies into the city?"
"The government of Yan'an Prefecture is recruiting refugees!" Wang Er was silent for a moment and said affirmatively: "Commander, think carefully, are there more people who come to the Commander-in-Chief from the direction of Yan'an Prefecture than those who come from other directions?
There are far fewer people in command, and if I guess correctly, these refugees should have been intercepted by the Yan'an Prefecture!"
Wang Jiayin also fell silent. For people like them, the words "gathering the refugees" already explained the problem. The only issue he had to consider now was what Wang Er said to him.
In the words, how much is true and how much is false!
