Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chu Mo, who didn't know that he was almost tricked by Qiwang of the Fifth Surname, immediately evacuated at full speed with his soldiers after receiving the materials and supplies they sent.

He knew his current situation. Whether he was discovered by Cui Yingying or Li Shimin, they would definitely turn their guns and kill him as soon as possible.

Since the route has been planned before, secret guards have been sent to explore the route.

Therefore, when Chu Mo and his party received the supplies, they started a rapid march directly according to the explored route.

Along the way, everyone clenched their weapons, carried the distributed rations and supplies on their backs, and followed the team quickly without saying a word.

Everyone knows that their horses and livestock are limited, and if they want to get rid of the pursuers who may come behind them at any time, they have to move forward.

After two days and one night of rapid march, everyone finally arrived at Shangzhou City just as the sun was about to set.

However, at this time, the city gate of Shangzhou City was open, and smoke was billowing inside the city, as if it had been breached.

Seeing this situation, Chu Mo couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that Chu Xin took advantage of the chaos in Chang'an to send troops to attack?

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong.

If Zhou Dynasty had launched a massive attack and captured Shangzhou City, the city gates would have been closed and troops would have gathered around it.

But now it looks more like it has been robbed by someone.

Chu Mo, who was confused, immediately asked Chu Ruowan to lead a team of secret guards to check.

Not long after, Chu Ruowan came back with a dark face.

"what's the situation?"

Chu Mo asked hurriedly.

"There was a group of rebels, disguised as Imperial Guards, who tricked the city gates into opening, killed the prefect and officials in the city, and looted the entire city."

When Chu Mo heard that the rebels were coming, his first reaction was Cui Yingying and Zhang Taixin.

But then I thought about it and it felt wrong.

He and they walked in two separate ways, in different directions.

Moreover, Cui Yingying and the others were behind him. If they also wanted to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty and evacuate, they would definitely meet their own team.

But now that he has not discovered their team, does that mean that besides Cui Yingying, there is a force of unknown origin in front of him?

"So what's the situation in the city now? Do the rebels remain? Or have they evacuated? How long have they been gone?"

"The rebels ransacked the city and slaughtered all the old and weak people in the city. They took away all the young men, women and children, leaving only an empty city."

"I also found out from several survivors. They arrived probably one day earlier than us and are now heading towards Shaanxi Guanguan on the border of Dazhou."

After thinking about it, Chu Ruowan said again:

"They are now selling a large number of young prisoners and supplies. If we speed up our pace, we might be able to catch up with them and kill them before they arrive at Shaanxi Temple."

"No, we have been exhausted from days of marching. If we continue to march quickly, I'm afraid the soldiers will not be able to hold on."

"And the other party is going to Dazhou now, maybe it is related to Dazhou."

"At this time of crisis, we do not want to create extraneous problems."

Before Chu Mo could express his opinion, Lin Wan suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Chu Mo frowned and looked at Lin Wan and asked:

"Why, do you know who this rebel army is that robbed Shangzhou?"

Lin Wan hurriedly shook her head in denial:

"I've been with you all the way, how could I possibly know?"

"Then we are just discussing how to deal with this inhumane rebel army. Why are you so excited?"

Seeing this, Chu Ruowan on the side taunted directly.

"Hmph, I'm not doing this for everyone's sake. I don't want to offend the people of Dazhou before we even arrive in Dazhou."

Lin Wan argued unconvinced.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chu Mo hurriedly stood between them and interrupted their quarrel:

"At any time now, do you still have the energy to argue around here? If you really have that much energy, then think about what we would do if we met each other."

"Of course, destroy them directly!"

"We must take a detour so we don't offend each other."

The two women shouted almost in unison.

Chu Mo rubbed his temples, glanced at the two of them and sighed:

"I don't think I need to say more about our current situation, right? If we want to get out of here alive, we must unite."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, the two women snorted coldly at the same time and turned their heads aside.

Seeing this, Chu Mo coughed lightly and continued:

"No matter what the situation is ahead, we will continue to move forward according to the route we have set before. If we encounter that group of rebels, if we can coexist peacefully, that will be the end. If they don't know each other, then we can only kill them all. "

After saying that, he felt as if he had missed something, and looked at Chu Ruowan and asked:

"Did the survivors in the city tell you how many rebels there were?"

Chu Ruowan nodded and said:

"There are only about 800 people."

"They deceived the city gate and then attacked the prefect and other officials and defenders, and then they captured Shangzhou City."

Worried that Chu Mo would misunderstand, Chu Ruowan hurriedly added.

Hearing that there were only 800 people on the other side, Chu Mo was immediately filled with fighting spirit and waved his hand:

"Some thieves are worried about the hammer. If you notify them, you can pass through Shangzhou City, catch up with the butchers, and avenge the people."

Just kidding, now the entire Shangzhou City has been taken the lead, looted, and all the good things and young people have been taken away.

Why are you still here?Hurry up and catch them up, kill them, and avenge the people is the most important thing.

Hearing that Chu Mo was about to continue marching, Lin Wan opened her mouth and wanted to dissuade him, but hesitated and finally said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Wan snorted coldly, twisted her waist proudly, and went to give the order.

Seeing that Chu Ruowan was gone, she looked at Chu Mo and said seriously:

"You didn't even know the other party's details, so you rushed after them so rashly. Aren't you afraid that they are Zhou's army, causing misunderstanding between the two parties? Will there be a conflict?"

Chu Mo rolled his eyes at Lin Wan and said:

"What happened to Zhou's army? I am doing justice for heaven. If they dare to commit such evil deeds, they will be liquidated one day."

"What's more, they just plundered Shangzhou City, and the supplies on hand are definitely indispensable. We are now short of food and clothing, and robbing them will just replenish some supplies. Why not do it?"

After hearing what Chu Mo said, Lin Wan suddenly understood.

If you pursue someone's feelings, it's fake to do justice for heaven, but it's true to want to take advantage of others.

Seeing that Chu Mo had made up his mind, she couldn't persuade her anymore. She just hoped that the team in front was not what she thought.

However, neither of them noticed that even if the other party was caught by surprise, how could they capture the heavily guarded Shangzhou City with only 800 people, and massacre it in such a short period of time.
