Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

For these bandits with eyes on their buttocks, they dare to block the road and rob their team of tens of thousands of people with just a few dozen or hundreds of people.

Chu Mo didn't waste any time. He directly had them chained up one by one and taken to his fief. From now on, they would be his own cattle and horses.

After some refugees saw that Chu Mo and the others only arrested people but did not kill, they suddenly had an idea and they all followed behind, and the team began to grow slowly.

At first, due to the large number of refugees on the road, the guards did not notice the team following them at all, thinking that they were simply fleeing.

But gradually, the team snowballed, gathering more and more people.

Among the refugees, news spread from somewhere that there was no food in Chang'an, and the emperor and ministers had all fled to the north.

The refugees who originally wanted to go to Chang'an City turned around and followed Chu Mo's team.

In the eyes of the refugees, Chu Mo and his group were able to lead such a large group in such a season, so they must have prepared sufficient food and warm clothing.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Mo's team was so huge, with thousands of people armed with swords and well-dressed in armor, they would have looked like regular army guards.

It is estimated that the refugees have already eaten them all.

However, these refugees who did not dare to approach Chu Mo's team had an idea after seeing that Chu Mo and his team only wounded and captured the bandits, but never took the initiative to kill.

So, one morning, Chu Mo, who was still sleeping, heard the cries of a group of old, weak, women and children coming from outside the camp.

Before he could get up, Yang Paifeng rushed in and shouted to him:

"Uncle, something bad has happened. Our camp is surrounded by a large group of refugees, and they are about to rush in."

When Chu Mo heard this, he didn't care whether he got up or not. He put on his clothes haphazardly and asked:

"What's going on? Didn't I order that no refugees should be allowed near the camp? Why did these refugees surround us?"

Yang Paifeng rubbed the corners of his clothes, and finally, under Chu Mo's gaze, he lowered his head and told the story.

It turned out that early this morning, when Yang Hongyu went out with a few secret guards to get some grass for Xiaohong to improve her food, she was suddenly surrounded by a group of skinny children.

When these children came up, they neither made any noise nor made a fuss. They just looked at Yang Hongyu eagerly and said nothing.

At first, everyone felt that something was fishy and became more vigilant.

But after a while, I found that these children did nothing except looking at me and others eagerly.

Moreover, the refugees closest to them are 200 meters away, so they cannot cause any effective harm at all.

As a result, everyone relaxed their vigilance slightly and wanted to see what these children were going to do.

Yang Hongyu originally went out to walk her horse. After walking for a while, she found a piece of grass and just let Xiaohong have a few bites.

The children around them shouted and dispersed.

I thought things would just end like this.

But when everyone returned to the camp, they suddenly discovered that the children who had followed them before were now blocking the doorway holding a small bundle of grass, looking at Yang Hongyu eagerly again.

Needless to say, Yang Hongyu also knew at this time that these children wanted to exchange the materials in their hands for some supplies.

Because there were not many children, Yang Hongyu just thought for a moment and asked the patrolling soldiers to take out some food and replace the materials in the hands of the children.

Unexpectedly, this change was like poking a hornet's nest.

When the soldiers had just given out grain and children in exchange for the fodder in their hands, a large group of old, weak, women and children in ragged clothes and withered faces appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them three levels inside and three outside.

When Li Ke, who had just patrolled, saw this, without any hesitation, he directly ordered the surrounding soldiers to rush into the crowd, rescue the soldiers who were exchanging materials, and notified the soldiers who were still resting in the camp to come out and disperse the crowd. .

When the refugees saw a large number of soldiers rushing out, they all fled in fear.

Originally, the matter should have ended here, but when several soldiers saw several injured children lying on the ground, they felt compassion for them. They not only helped them treat their injuries, but also gave each of them a steamed bun.

The refugees in the distance saw that the injured people were treated differently, so, with the encouragement of caring people, they surrounded him again.

This time, no matter how hard the soldiers drove them away, the refugees refused to leave and seemed to be slowly pressing forward.

Not knowing who had the idea, the refugees let the old people, women and children go in front, while the young men followed behind, driving them forward from time to time.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Ke asked Yang Paifeng to come over quickly and wake up Chu Mo.

After listening to Yang Paifeng's account, Chu Mo didn't say anything. He grabbed a long knife from the guard at the door, and then walked aggressively towards the camp where he had previously detained the bandits.

When he arrived at the camp, Chu Mo said nothing, holding up a long knife, pointing at the bandit inside and saying:

"I need ten knives now, who wants them?"

The bandits looked at me and I looked at you, and they all lowered their heads.

Seeing that no one said anything, Chu Mo nodded, waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him:

"These guys were useless, so they were all taken to the gate of the camp and chopped down."

When the bandits in the camp heard that they were going to be killed, they immediately came to their senses and began to cry and beg for mercy.

Chu Mo was unmoved at all, turned around and walked towards the next tent.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked the same thing.

Because there was a lot of noise in the previous camp, the bandits in this camp also heard it. Seeing Chu Mo asking again, they all rushed to sign up without any hesitation.

Looking at this group of bandits who were desperately recommending themselves, Chu Mo nodded with satisfaction, randomly named ten strong ones, took off their shackles, and then threw each of them a sharpened wooden stick and said: :

"Go out later and follow my orders. Whoever I ask you to kill, you will do it for me. If you kill each person, I will give you a pound of rice as rations on the road."

"Kill two, and I'll give you three kilograms of rice. If you kill five, I'll give you ten kilograms of rice and one kilogram of fat meat."

"Kill ten, and from now on, you will be my Chu Mo's people."

After saying that, no matter what the bandits thought, they turned around and walked out of the camp.

When the bandits saw this, they followed immediately without having time to think about it.

It's impossible not to keep up. The dozens of shiny swords around are really making people's heads hurt.
