Chapter 6
Chapter 6
By the afternoon, thousands of people had gathered. Some of them were carrying pots and stoves, some were carrying bedding and clothes, and they didn't even want to put down the chamber pot.
Because one person rebels and the whole family sits together, no matter the old and the weak, women and children, join in. Although there are many people, there are only a few thousand people who can fight.
This team was established within a day, and everyone recommended Chu Feiyan as the leader, and named it "Feiyan Army".
Their weapons are only sticks and hoes, and they have no uniforms or discipline.
Liu Gao suggested to Chu Feiyan to go to Yushan in the north, far away from the imperial court, there are many villages and rivers, and there is enough food.
Chu Feiyan took his opinion.
On the way to Yushan, they bumped into a team of 1000 people.
Liu Gao explored the way ahead, and came back: "There are thousands of people ahead, and dozens of horses riding on them, all of them are holding long knives. Let's take a detour."
"It's officers and soldiers? Great, let's grab their weapons and horses." Wang Sheng was a little eager to try, he was already dazzled by the victory, and he didn't pay attention to this team at all.
Chu Feiyan looked at the women and children behind her, and said, "Let's take a detour."
At this time, I saw a person in the team over there running out on horseback, shouting loudly: "Is the one in front Chu Feiyan?"
Chu Feiyan took a step forward and said, "Yes, may I ask which hero you are?"
The man shouted: "Brother Yan, I'm Xu Baiqi. I heard that you are really planning an uprising, so I brought these 1000 people here to join you."
The man drove his horse and ran towards him. He was a handsome young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a long knife in his hand, which was about Zhang long.
When he arrived in front of him, he immediately turned over and got off the horse, with a very excited expression on his face.
"Xu Baiqi?" Chu Feiyan couldn't think of this person for a while, but still smiled and greeted him, "So it's you."
Xu Baiqi laughed and said, "Brother Yan, you still remember me?"
Chu Feiyan just smiled and didn't speak.
Xu Baiqi said: "My mother and your mother are cousins. We met once more than ten years ago."
Chu Feiyan laughed: "I remember, you are the little Bai Qi who admired the Qin general Bai Qi during the war!"
"It's me, Brother Yan." Xu Baiqi smiled, and hugged Chu Feiyan with open arms.
Chu Feiyan hugged him back.
So the team moved on, rushing to the next county to settle down.
It turned out that Xu Baiqi was all about fighting. He was familiar with military books since he was a child, and he learned martial arts from a martial artist. He is proficient in all eighteen weapons.It's just that although he has a whole body of martial arts, he has no place to display it.
His family was sparsely populated, and his father passed away a few years ago, leaving behind a lot of property, which was left undisciplined and just squandered.
On this day, when he heard that his distant cousin had started an incident and gathered people to kill Zhending county magistrate, he became excited, sold all his family property, recruited soldiers and bought horses, and gathered 1000 people to join him.
After hearing this, Chu Feiyan felt it was absurd, but since all the people came, it was impossible to drive them back and put them under the banner.
Because at this time there were many thieves all over the country, and the imperial court concentrated its forces on suppressing the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army and some major separatist forces.
So Chu Feiyan only attacked in some remote mountainous areas, lakes and rivers, where the imperial court was weak and there were not many troops.
However, he acted in a low-key manner, did not establish a name, did not attack important towns, and did not attract the attention of the court.
In addition, he annexed some small uprising forces, and soon his army grew from a few thousand to more than ten thousand.
At this time, he felt that the time was ripe, so he turned back to Zhending and officially captured this important town in Jizhou.
