"Could it be you too?" The two people before sat up in surprise.
"I am the attendant who was pointed out to General Fu later. You..." Song Chen nodded blankly at first, and then glanced at the people lying next to him.
A few more people sat up next to them one after another. They introduced their origins. They were all assigned to work beside Fu Shiren because their original general died in battle. They were the kind of grandma who doesn't love his uncle.
Some of them take care of Fu Shiren's daily life, some are responsible for Fu Shiren's clothes, armor and weapons, and some are handymen who set up tents for Fu Shiren. All kinds of jobs are related to Fu Shiren.
hiss...
Song Chen took a breath, then turned his gaze to the remaining five spectators, "Won't you also follow Fu..."
"We are all soldiers of General Fu, but we have never been to Jiangling battlefield, and we are not from Jiangdong..." one of them answered.
"Soldiers? Disrespect, disrespect..." Song Chen saluted with clasped fists, and then asked doubtfully: "You have never been to Jiangling, why are you living here?"
"Alas... when Jiangxia fell, we didn't run away..."
Song Chen nodded and suddenly realized: "It seems that it is not unreasonable for us to be forced to cultivate wasteland and have our food deducted."
"What's the truth?" The person who asked the question was named Li Chang. Like Song Chen, he was born in the reconnaissance camp. Now he is the backbone of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce. His current role is to praise.
"Isn't it because of General Fu? Who asked him to surrender to Jiangdong? Now he is a prisoner of the old master Jingzhou. Are they going to torture us?" Song Chen smiled bitterly.
Li Chang muttered unconvinced: "Isn't this fair? We are not Fu Shiren's soldiers, we were just sent to work around him later..."
"Who cares about you? It's like this now..." Song Chen shook his head and then said to several others: "You are Fu Shiren's personal soldiers. It is not unfair to be sent to Dadong Mountain to open up wasteland..."
Suddenly, a person next to him jumped up, with an angry expression on his face: "What do you mean by not being unfair? Yang and them are both from Jiangxia. They joined the army after General Fu surrendered to Jiangdong. We are not his old followers at all..."
Song Chen bowed with a smile on his face: "I'm really sorry... I'm just guessing, everyone is a miserable person..."
"Forget it...it's fate now that it's over. Just go to sleep..." Yang Tiao turned around and fell down, and the other people followed him without saying a word.
Song Chen saw that Yang Tiao was the leader of these people, so he set his sights on him. He sighed and complained to Li Chang: "With less food and too many things to do, we will die of exhaustion sooner or later..."
"There's only one sentry post in Dadong Mountain. If that doesn't work, let's run away, right? We're going to die sooner or later anyway, so we might as well give it a try..." Li Chang put forward a 'suggestion'.
Song Chen frowned and shook his head: "Where can we escape? Fu Shiren first betrayed the King of Hanzhong, and then betrayed General Sun. We have been marked by him, and we will not have a good life wherever we go..."
Li Chang argued bluntly: "It cannot be said like this. It is true that General Fu betrayed the King of Hanzhong, but his betrayal of Jiangdong was purely framed. If Lu Meng had not killed General Han first, General Fu would not have conflicted with Lu Meng. Unfortunately, he was later The other party framed him and cost him his life, so we are all implicated..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Wasn't General Han killed by the formation? How could the Governor attack one of his own people?" Song Chen pretended to be surprised.
"Can I fake what I saw with my own eyes? That night, I was the last one to finish feeding the horses and was about to go back to the tent to rest. The Governor and Old General Han suddenly came nearby. They had an argument beside the stable for some unknown reason. Lu Meng took advantage of General Han accidentally stabbed him to death with a sword, and later buried him near the stable." Li Chang said with certainty.
"It turns out that Lu Meng wronged General Fu, but now he has implicated us in suffering. It's really..." Song Chen murmured to himself.
Li Chang then asked: "I just can't figure out why General Han and Lu Meng had a dispute. Isn't the other party our chief governor? It's really puzzling."
"What qualifications does General Han have? With Lu Meng's little prestige, how could he be completely controlled? He should have acted in a hurry. Lu Meng is still far behind Governor Zhou and Governor Lu..." Song Chen patted the edge of the bed. sigh.
"Eh? Do you think if we take this news back to Jiangdong, can we clear General Fu's charge of treason? Maybe we can live well." Li Chang had a sudden idea.
"Stay alive? Are you asking for death? That's Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong. Who will listen to us little pawns?" Song Chen shook his head.
Li Chang said disapprovingly: "Lu Meng is dead now, why are we afraid of him? Besides, the descendants of General Han, I heard they are still investigating this matter. We can pretend to be the old general's soldiers and go to seek refuge. Maybe You can also get some rewards.”
"I think it's better to forget it, right? Most of General Han's original soldiers were sent to the front line by Lu Meng to die in battle. With the crude martial arts skills of us, who will believe it when we get to Jiangdong?" Song Chen continued to pour cold water.
Li Chang sighed after hearing this: "Hey... you are right. We are either raising horses or serving and dressing people. How can we look like soldiers? It's better to rest early and go to bed. There is still wasteland to be reclaimed tomorrow. , just live one day at a time..."
"That's right. Destiny is determined from birth. It's useless to think too much..." Song Chen yawned and fell asleep. Not long after, the simple house was filled with snoring and the sound of insects outside.
At midnight, Yang Ti opened the door and walked to the tree behind the house to relieve himself. He suddenly found that the lights at the sentry next to him had been turned off. He felt that the opportunity of a lifetime to escape had arrived.
Yang Tiao tiptoed back to the house, woke up his four companions, and holding a small bag of rice in the corner in his hand, they fled eastward relying on the vegetation at the foot of Dadong Mountain.
A few miles beyond the sentry post, the five men sat down to catch their breath.
After the few people rested for less than a stick of incense, Yang State urged his colleagues to leave quickly. They were not far from the settlement point, and they were suddenly discovered that they might not be able to leave.
"Yang Huochang, I see that the guard is sleeping deeply. There is no need for us to walk in such a hurry, right? There is no moon these days, and the weak starlight makes it difficult to find the way..."
"I'm not worried about the guards at all, but I'm afraid that those losers will find out about the lack of people and run to the guards to report us. If we are caught, we will die. Now, as long as we walk towards the east, we can probably hear the sound of water in the morning. You won’t get lost if you go near the Yangtze River.”
"They came up with the idea. We should have taken them with us in the first place. Not only did we not call them, we also gave the food away..."
"Didn't that guy just say that? Fate has already decided everything. Taking them on the road will not only drag us down, but how can we explain it when we get to Chaisang? They are all soldiers of Old General Han?"
"Uh...I feel like I don't have any sense of loyalty..."
"Loyalty can't survive. You all must remember now that we are the personal soldiers of General Han. The rest of our comrades have been deliberately killed by Lu Meng..."
"Yes, Huo Chang..."
Yang Tie and the other five arrived near the Yangtze River in the morning, and then ran southward along the dense reeds.
A few days before Yang State's escape, Wuchang's warships frequently patrolled to the south. Yang State knew that they were coming to find him, so he asked everyone to hide in the grass to avoid search.
