Competing

Chapter 9
At night, in the mountains.

More than 30 people sat around the campfire, and the dry wood was burning and crackling.

It was Yin Xu and others who fled all the way, who were deceived by He Kun and inexplicably charged as fugitives, and now they can only hide in the mountains and forests.

"Everyone, I've asked you clearly. It's still because of me. I'm the one who got involved and charged as a fugitive. I'm sorry." Yin Xu got up and bowed deeply.The reason why He Kun was not burned to death was to ask questions, and he got the answer that had troubled him for a long time, which was a bit heavy. In the final analysis, the matter was caused by himself.

"What did Brother Donglai say?" Lu Ming took the lead, "It's just a few more days in the mountains. Is it more uncomfortable than Brother Donglai's squatting in the 'gopher cellar'?"

"Yes, how many people will come back after Chidao and the Great Wall are built?" Pu Jun couldn't help feeling sad when he thought about the current affairs of his father and brother.

"Nowadays there are many bandits. It's better to be a bandit than to be looked at as a cow and a horse."

Yin Xu said apologetically: "The construction site must not be able to go back now. If you have a place to go, you can leave. If not, everyone will temporarily hide in the mountains and forests together!"

"I have returned to the Wu family, and I will follow Brother Donglai from now on!" Pu Jun spoke first,

"I'll come to the east too!" Gao Yi was the second to speak.

Lu Ming is not a problem, Yin Xu is like a life-saving grace to him, not to mention Zhou Da, he has already expressed his attitude.As a result, more than 34 of the 20 people were willing to stay, and the remaining few who had other ideas were embarrassed, so they all stayed.Many years later, when they recalled the experience of that night, they all agreed that this was the most important decision in their lives. They were all very happy, fortunately, they made the right choice and did not leave.

Yin Xu bowed and said: "Thank you brothers for your trust, I have done my best. Please believe me, the days of avoiding fleeing will not be too long, not more than a year. Today we share weal and woe, and we will share wealth in the future!"

"Sharing weal and woe, sharing wealth!"

"Sharing weal and woe, sharing wealth!"

"Sharing weal and woe, sharing wealth!"

In the night forest, a loud cry sounded, startling the birds and beasts.

That night, a bandit group based on 34 people was established, and the leader was Yin Xu, whose name was Donglai. From today onwards, he who regained his real name was destined to become famous all over the world.The backbone includes Pu Jun, Gao Yi, Zhou Da, and Lu Ming.

These people will be Yin Xu's most staunch supporters and most effective garrison in the years to come.It is necessary to mention Gao Yi and Pu Jun.

For Gao Yi, Yin Xu felt very guilty. Anyway, he was originally a petty official, a "civil servant" with a meager salary.After making friends with himself, he became a wanted bandit. The change in status can be described as a world of difference.But Gao Yi didn't care at all, borrowing from Zhou Da's saying, instead of being a petty official who looks at people every day and suffers from cowardice, it's better to wander the mountains and forests, wandering in the clouds and wild cranes.

In fact, it should be said that Gao Yi has a keen eye, and he chose a fund with a lot of money. After many years, he is very proud of it.Gao Yi's importance to Yin Xu's group in the early days is self-evident, so among a large group of people, he is the only one who can read and write.Yin Xu, who was a high-achieving student in the military academy, stared at Qin Xiaozhuan and didn't recognize any of them.

Pu Jun was even worse, Yin Xu didn't know that he had picked up a treasure.Many years later, he realized that Pu Jun was the famous General Pu in history, who was as famous as Ying Bu.

Pu Jun is lucky to him, so why isn't he lucky to Pu Jun?At least this time, in the annals of Qianqiu's history, Pu Jun's full name and his illustrious military exploits will be recorded in a dignified manner, instead of the vague and simple three characters of General Pu.

The Kuaiji area couldn't stay any longer, they shuttled between the mountains and forests for days, and sneaked back to Fanyi County.Qin Ershi will come to Kuaiji for a tour in the near future, and the attack and defense will be strengthened a lot. The government is likely to hunt them down. They must not stay and wait for death. Transfer is imperative.

But Fanyi is different. Wu Rui, the county magistrate of Fanyi, is more tolerant of bandits, and the living conditions there are better.What's more, most of them are from Fanyi, and they are willing to return to their homeland. The landscape and terrain are familiar to him, so it is very convenient to do things.

Most of them are farmers in the countryside or hunters in the mountains. They endure hardships and stand hard work, so it is easy to survive in the wild.After arriving in Fanyi County near Penglize, he cut down bamboo and wood on the spot, and built a few bamboo houses in a hidden place in the forest as a temporary shelter.

Pu Jun is an excellent hunter, but also an ingenious craftsman. With his help, he made a batch of bows and arrows with bamboo as raw material.Although there is no metal arrowhead, after trying it, the lethality is not much inferior.This time, Yin Xu finally had the honor to witness Pu Jun's archery skills, which really lived up to his reputation.With these, under Pu Jun's teaching, everyone's archery skills have been greatly improved.

Yin Xu even imparted his fighting skills to everyone. Under his careful guidance, everyone has made rapid progress and their strength is not bad.In addition to the 30 long swords collected from the fire scene in the forest that day, although there were only more than [-] people, the overall strength was not inferior.

At the beginning, the big gang of bandits nearby wanted to annex them. After learning about their astonishing strength, they never dared to provoke them again.The annexation will not succeed, but it will be a big anti-annexation trend.

The livelihood of the more than 30 people is also a problem. After eating the rations brought by picking ganoderma lucidum that day, they mainly shoot wild animals from the forest for food.But after all, it is not a long-term solution, and rice and grain are very scarce, especially after winter is approaching, so they have to become veritable bandits.

Robbery is unavoidable, but it cannot be unscrupulous and evil.At Yin Xu's request, they insisted on the principle of "robbing the rich". They only robbed the food of wealthy families in nearby villages and towns, or robbed some of the property of passing merchants. .Apart from killing a few bullies, he never killed a single good person, and never committed suicide.

In Yin Xu's words, this is called "thieves have their own way", and this kind of behavior makes fellow bandits feel very contemptuous.Yin Xu shook his head secretly when he heard about it: This is the difference, you are destined to only be a bandit, but brother has great ambitions, so you have to look at the long-term...

It is precisely because of this that Yin Xu and others have a very good reputation, and oppressed villagers and criminals often come to join them in the vicinity.Before winter, the number of people has reached nearly 100.Yin Xu adopts the militarized management of his previous life, with strict requirements, an "army" with a small number of people but not weak combat effectiveness is growing day by day.

In this regard, Yin Xu is very pleased. As long as he survives until next year when the autumn moon lasts, when the Daze Township uprising breaks out and the heroes of the world rise up against Qin, he will be able to make it through.At that time, we can also change ourselves and walk out of the mountains under the banner of the Rebel Army.At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the commoner was a prime minister, and the king was made king by cracking the soil, so there may be a place for us.

The autumn wind was rustling, Yin Xu raised his head to look at the sky, and said silently: Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, you must be on time!
