The place where Liu Heng trained the refugees was only one mile away from the back camp.
On the first day of refugee training, all the bandits in the back camp knew that Liu Heng was training with a group of refugees.
Ma Lao Lai from the rear camp was filled with resentment when he heard the news. He knew that all the food he had saved had been taken away by Liu Heng and given to the refugees.
First he was humiliated in front of everyone, and then he was robbed of food. Ma La Lai did not dare to show his expression on his face, but in his heart he wished Liu Heng would die.
When he learned that Liu Heng had recruited hundreds of refugees, he immediately told the news to Zheng Daqiu, who had a grudge against Liu Heng, hoping to use Zheng Daqiu's help to deal with Liu Heng.
Zheng Daqiu was shocked when he first heard the news.
He knew that Liu Heng and Li Shuheng from the Archer Camp were both from the army and were fully capable of training new refugee recruits. If these refugees were trained, there would be hundreds of capable bandits. Even the Chinese military camp did not have so many infantry.
After learning the news, Zheng Daqiu did not dare to delay. He hurried to the main tent of the Central Military Camp and told the news to Shi Yunhu, the big cabinet in charge of the Central Military Camp.
Shi Yunhu laughed loudly after hearing the news, and said nonchalantly: "Yunjiu, you are from the army, explain it to him."
Ma Yunjiu, who was standing at the bottom, stood up and said: "If you want to train troops, you must first fill your stomach. Three hundred people need at least one stone for a day's ration. Even if you save food, it will still cost seven or eight buckets. Now every battalion is short of food." They are so powerful. Even if Liu Heng has the support of the Archer Battalion behind him, they can only last for half a month at most. After half a month, they will have no food. A team that has trained for less than half a month can only be a mess, and maybe it will be worse. There was a camp change.”
"Now you understand!" Shi Yunhu, with his bare chest and shoulders, looked at Zheng Daqiu.
"I understand." Zheng Daqiu responded cautiously, and then said worriedly, "I'm worried that they won't wait for half a month, and they will send those refugees to grab food everywhere in advance."
"Haha, that's even more impossible." Shi Yunhu laughed, "Even if Marshal Qi and Marshal Li are resurrected, it's impossible for a bunch of mud-legged men to train into an army within ten days and a half."
Zheng Daqiu said humbly: "The younger one is worried that Liu Heng will cause trouble and seize the leadership of the rear camp. He is not of the same mind as you, Dashi. Instead, he is on good terms with the people in the two camps on the left and right. Otherwise, Blind Man Wu and the others will not do this." He talks..."
Shi Yunhu's face sank and he said coldly: "Tomorrow I will ask Yun Jiu to take the cavalry with you to get food. No one can take away the position at the head of the rear camp."
After that, he picked up the wine bowl on the low table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you, Big Cabinet." Zheng Daqiu hurriedly knelt down, and the worry in his heart completely disappeared.
With Ma Yunjiu's cavalry, he believed that no one could take away the head of his rear camp.
………………
Zheng Daqiu, who was no longer worried, simply didn't even return to the rear camp. Now that Liu Heng had hundreds of refugees under his command, he was worried that he would fall into Liu Heng's hands if he went to the rear camp.
In the next few days, he and Ma Yunjiu went out to rob every day, and rested directly in the camp of the Zhongjun Camp at night.
Zheng Daqiu did not return to the rear camp, and Ma Lao Lai, who stayed in the rear camp to inquire for him, was very anxious.
Time passed day by day, and the three hundred refugees recruited by Liu Heng had formed a team. It took nine days to train from a piece of scattered sand into what an army should look like.
Moreover, it was far more orderly and imposing than the average army. The slogans shouted out by the refugee team in unison from time to time gave it the appearance of a strong army.
If many people hadn't seen the growth of this refugee team with their own eyes, no one would have believed that these people were just a group of ignorant refugees a few days ago.
Ma Lao Lai, who has been secretly paying attention to this refugee team, sees the changes in this team day by day. The more he sees, the more frightened he becomes. He admires Liu Heng's training methods. But the more he does this, the more he becomes obsessed with Liu Heng's training. The hatred became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, he became more and more worried that Zheng Daqiu could not do anything to Liu Heng.
He wanted to tell Zheng Daqiu about the hundreds of refugees under Liu Heng, but he had no chance to meet Zheng Daqiu.
Zheng Daqiu was not in the camp during the day, and he did not dare to leave the camp at night for fear of being discovered by Liu Heng's people.
As for the other leaders of the central military camp, he, a cook in the rear camp, was not qualified to meet him, and they would not meet him.
Finally on the tenth day, he found an opportunity.
On this day, Liu Heng and his team of refugees left the camp before dawn. Not only that, the men and horses of the Archer Camp also left the camp under the leadership of Li Shuheng.
Only then did Ma Lailai find an opportunity and came to the door of the Zhongjun camp in the dark.
A flash of white light shone in the eastern sky, like the whitened belly of a fish. Ma Lailai waited outside the Chinese military camp and finally arrived at Zheng Daqiu.
"Tou Zheng, something happened." When they met, Ma Lailai said eagerly, "Liu Damu took the refugees out of the camp before dawn. Not only them, but also the people in the Archer Camp also left the camp."
Zheng Daqiu frowned and asked, "Do you know where you are going?"
Ma Lailai shook his head and said: "I don't know exactly where they went, but they went in the direction of Zhengjiazhuang. Could they be attacking Zhengjiazhuang?"
At this time, Ma Yunjiu on the side smiled and said: "Don't worry, Zhengjiazhuang is not that easy to fight. It is a famous big village within a dozen miles."
Hearing this, Zheng Daqiu turned to look at Ma Lailai and said, "Did you hear that? That's Dazhuangzi within a radius of more than ten miles. The villagers have raised a lot of people. Just Liu Heng's hundreds of refugees and hundreds of people. The rogue bandits from the Archer Battalion No. 10 also want to capture Zhengjiazhuang, which is simply a daydream."
"But those hundreds of refugees are no longer the hundreds of refugees before. Now..."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Daqiu interrupted impatiently: "Do you think training soldiers is so easy? Even if Qi Shuai is resurrected, with the virtues of hundreds of mud-legged soldiers, they won't be able to train anything in ten days and a half." Come on. Okay, don't block the road. Today, the horse leader and I are going to rob a village further away, so get out of the way."
After he finished speaking, he led people directly past Ma Lailai.
Ma Lao Lai wanted to say a few more words, but Zheng Daqiu didn't give him this chance at all, and asked his bandits to drive Ma Lao Lai away.
After Zheng Daqiu and Ma Yunjiu's team left, Ma Laolai reluctantly returned to the back camp.
After daylight broke out, the two camps on the left and right received reports that all the archer battalions had left the camp.
As soon as he got the news, Blind Wu jumped up from the bed and said excitedly: "After preparing for so long, I finally waited until the people from the Archer Camp left."
Immediately, he called a bandit from outside the tent and ordered: "Go and inform Zhou Heilian, the leader of Youying, and ask him to come to me immediately with the troops of Youying."
The bandits from the left camp left the main camp and went to the right camp to deliver a message.
Blind Wu looked at himself and sneered: "Shi Yunhu, I'll see who can save you once!"
About half an hour later, Wu Xiazi and Zhou Heilian left the camp with the two assembled bandits and headed directly for Shi Yunhu's Chinese army camp.
