539 Escort

It has to be said that Gao Yigong's explanation to Liu Zongmin was not without reason.

Just like Gao Ruli and the others, all of them were wounded because they were imprisoned and severely tortured. It was not easy to escape from the chieftain's territory.

Fortunately, they were originally the forwards of He Renlong's troops, and they were only the elite.Everyone still has a foundation, and also has some survival skills.

After disappearing from the sight of the thieves, Gao Ruli and his party immediately treated the injuries on their bodies simply, and removed the things on their bodies that could tell that they were officials of the imperial court.Check with each other, and only after there is no problem, can we identify the direction and go to a place with few people.

They are also skilled in this way.It's not the evasive kind, but seeing a small number of people in the chieftain's territory, if they can hide, then they can hide, if they can't, a group of people will walk towards them talking and laughing.

Their trick, let alone, is really useful!

The people in the chieftain's territory saw these Han people, although they were puzzled, they did not doubt their identities.

After all, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court are all outside the mountains, and the Han people that can be seen in the chieftain's territory are all those thieves.Therefore, they are naturally considered to be thieves.

As for the injuries on his body, it is not unimaginable that he might have been beaten by other thieves.

Another point is that they can also conceal their identities.It's because they all speak with an accent from Qin Dynasty, and the most core thieves under Li Zicheng's department are all from Qin Dynasty.Most of the people who deal with the chieftain are these core thieves. This accent sounds naturally considered to be a thieves.

Just like that, Gao Ruli and his party walked out of the mountain without any danger.

After waiting for an hour, it was far away from the bandit camp, and the chieftains were rarely seen.

Correspondingly, they are a little safer.However, after walking such a long distance, they were a little unable to move.

There are injuries on the body, the physical exertion is heavy, and the stomach is still hungry, so I am really tired.

Seeing this, Gao Ruli cheered them up and said, "Brothers, think about your wives and children at home, think about your parents, they are all looking forward to your return, just grit your teeth and persevere, just walk out of the mountains!"

After a pause, he said again solemnly: "Da Heizi and the others died heroically, and there are many brothers who would rather die than submit. We must live to avenge them!"

Hearing his words, the comrades who had already sat down tried their best to stand up again, supporting each other and encouraging each other together.

"go back!"

"revenge!"

"..."

Along the way, they drink water when they have water, eat fruit when there is fruit, and eat leaves when there is no fruit. When it gets dark, they huddle together to keep warm.

By the afternoon of the next day, someone finally couldn't walk anymore.

"Let's go, leave me alone!"

"If you go out, say I died in battle!"

"..."

Gao Ruli listened to his ramblings, and interrupted directly: "Don't be mother-in-law, we finally had a chance to escape from birth, so we just wanted to give up like this. Are you still a man? You have a wife, do you still want her?" gone?"

The other comrades laughed loudly when they heard this.Then, no matter whether they answered or not, they stepped forward to support him and staggered together.

In the evening, it was not dark, and everyone could not move.It’s okay to say other things, but they are still hungry. If it weren’t for their good foundation, they wouldn’t be able to make it through now.

A group of people sat in a pile, rested back to back, and were ready to spend the night.

Many people were too tired to even speak.However, there are also some people who can still say something, just talk about the delicious food of big fish and meat, women and other things that can boost people's hearts.

However, Gao Ruli looked at this situation with a heavy heart.

As far as the current situation is concerned, some comrades may not be able to see the sun of tomorrow.If at this time, there are warm clothes and food to satisfy the hunger, then there is still salvation.

However, how could these things exist in this lofty mountain!

He was thinking about it when suddenly he was shocked and immediately shouted: "Who?"

When his comrades heard this, they were all startled, and quickly stood up to take precautions.

However, half of the comrades failed to stand up.Those who stood up were also unsteady on their feet.Obviously, they are really exhausted!
Following Gao Ruli's words, a group of people surrounded them from all directions, each of them carrying bows and arrows and holding knives and guns.

From their attire, their height, etc., it can be seen at once that they are soldiers of the chieftain.

Looking at their appearance, Gao Ruli guessed that these chieftain soldiers should be scouts outside the chieftain's territory, or sentry posts, and they are considered to be more capable of fighting among the chieftain soldiers!
Not only that, but more importantly, they all have weapons, while their own side is unarmed.

In fact, even if you have a weapon, you can't fight.

Thinking of this, Gao Ruli knew very well that if their identities were discovered, they would not be spared.

Thinking of this, he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "We are under the leader Gao. We have lost our way in the mountains for several days, and we have become like this!"

No matter what, it's best to be able to cheat!
However, before he dared to finish his words, he saw the leader of the chieftain soldier and said decisively in poor official language: "No, you are the captives of the imperial army. You are still the official, I know it!"

Hearing this, Gao Ruli's heart sank immediately.

The leader of the chieftain soldier actually knows himself, so there is no way to deceive him!

But, fight?Can't fight!
At this moment, he was a little desperate.

I saw the leader of the chieftain soldier, after glancing at them, he suddenly started chattering in their local dialect, probably discussing with his companions.

Gao Ruli, who was in despair, no longer cared what they were doing, anyway, they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they had no ability to resist at all.

At this time, he just subconsciously fixed his eyes on the chieftain soldier.

I saw this man talking to his companions, asking one person after another, as if asking for opinions or something.

During the process of his questioning, other people also joined the discussion, talking along, as if echoing what he said.

After a while, it seemed that a consensus was reached, and all the chieftain soldiers were smiling, as if something good had happened.

It's no wonder that catching people like yourself is a great achievement!

When Gao Ruli was thinking this way, he saw the leader of the chieftain soldier walking in front of him, smiled and said to him in broken official language: "We have discussed it and escorted you to the imperial military camp outside the mountain."

After finishing speaking, he took out a black rice ball or something from his arms, handed it to Gao Ruli and said, "I think you are hungry, eat it, don't die!"

Seeing him like this, his companions also took out food one after another, and then gave them to the court officers and soldiers.

For a moment, all the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, including Gao Ruli, were stunned, wondering what was going on?

Toast wants to surrender?

This is impossible!

Ambushing the imperial army is tantamount to rebellion, and the chieftain will be easily let go.

Besides, when they escaped before, there was no sign that the chieftain wanted to surrender.

Could it be that this is their trick?
However, people like myself are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, so why bother to make any conspiracy?

For a moment, Gao Ruli couldn't figure it out, looked down at the ball of food stuffed into his hand, smelled the aroma, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Perhaps because he knew he would ask, the leader of the chieftain soldiers replied with a smile: "It's actually very simple. We want to make meritorious service in exchange for the grain fields given by the imperial court. We want to live a good life!"

Seeing that Gao Ruli was still a little dazed, he simply opened up the chatterbox and told Gao Ruli the cause and effect.

These chieftain soldiers were really scouts, and even pretended to be ordinary people to go outside the mountain to inquire about the news, so they heard the new policy issued by the imperial court, that is, the policy of reforming the land and returning the locals.

After the chieftains were replaced by imperial officials, their children could go to school for free, and they could also rent official land, and the tax was much lower than that of the chieftains.If there is meritorious service, they can also get their own grain fields based on their meritorious service.

This kind of thing is really unimaginable for ordinary chieftain soldiers.

At first, they were a little unbelievable.However, it was later confirmed that this was promulgated by the imperial decree, and it was written on the bulletin board that this was done in other places. At least one point, life under the imperial court was better than that under the chieftain.

Therefore, these chieftain soldiers were all moved.It's just that he lacked a chance, but he happened to meet Gao Ruli and his party.

That's it, these chieftain soldiers immediately had the idea of ​​escorting these court officers and soldiers back, which is tantamount to picking up the credit!

Gao Ruli didn't expect that after more than a month, the emperor would actually issue a decree specifically targeting the chieftains, which would directly save their lives.

For a moment, after he and his comrades understood it, they couldn't help but feel grateful, and felt that it was the most correct choice for him not to betray the court.

Afterwards, these chieftain soldiers became the nannies of Gao Ruli and others. They did all the food, clothing, wound dressing and so on.

When leaving the next day, these chieftain soldiers even made a few simple stretchers to carry the weakest officers and soldiers of the imperial court together.

With their help, the speed of getting out of the mountain will be faster.

When he was about to walk out of the mountain, he bumped into the Yebushuo of the imperial army.

Seeing this situation, after asking clearly, they were all overjoyed.Unexpectedly, there were still comrades who survived the battle a month ago!
So, they also joined the escort queue, and at the same time they flew to report to the barracks.

Because of the defeat in the previous war, Sun Chuanting set his command to the forefront.At this time, they were meeting with guests who had just arrived at the barracks.

　It seems to be a double monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
