The insurgents were stalled in Guiyi Prefecture because of the disagreement among the three leaders.

However, the news that they defeated the regular army of the Far East Dynasty had spread like a plague, and countless civilians and bandits who could not survive came to surrender.

In just a few days, the number of insurgents exceeded 80,000, and the team grew like a snowball.

Although the huge team of the insurgents exceeded 80,000, the entire team was a mixed bag of good and bad.

In the huge team of the insurgents, there were not only those brave and powerful soldiers, but also more than half of the elderly, weak, women and children.

After all, they raised the banner to overthrow the Far East Dynasty, so their families and children did not dare to stay in their hometowns, and naturally took them wherever they went.

It was precisely because men, women, old and young all joined the ranks of the insurgents that the team grew rapidly.

The leaders smiled from ear to ear when they saw the growing team of the insurgents, because they were about to have 100,000 people.���

Now, more than 20 provinces and regions in the Far East Dynasty are in chaos. Various rebel forces and dynasty soldiers are fighting and fighting, and various bandits are numerous. However

, throughout the entire dynasty, there are only a handful of rebel forces with more than 50,000 troops. Therefore, the rebel force that Chen Ziang and his team are in has become the focus of everyone's attention. The rebel army is constantly growing, and the leaders are also very busy. They are responsible for holding banquets every day to welcome new teams, slaughtering pigs and sheep, and the rebel camp is very lively every day.

More and more people and small rebel forces have joined the team, which has rapidly increased their strength and also rapidly expanded the ambitions of the leaders.

The three leaders were originally on an equal footing, but with the rapid increase in strength, who is responsible for commanding this unit has become an imminent issue.

The three leaders are all strong, and everyone wants to be the commander of this rebel army. In order to achieve this goal, the entire rebel camp looks harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

At a welcome banquet for the new rebels, a thousand-man general under the leader Xu Fu got drunk and had a fight with a thousand-man general under Zhang Dayuan.

Although the three leaders stopped their fight in time and gave serious warnings.

But the matter did not end there. In just a few days, the conflict had a tendency to intensify.

First, an officer in charge of the camp supplies under Xu Fu withheld food from Chen Ru and was beaten by an angry general under Chen Ru.

Later, when Zhang Dayuan and Chen Ru's men were out investigating the enemy, they met on the road. The two sides first had a quarrel, then fists and feet, and even knives, resulting in three deaths and five injuries.

In order to compete for supplies and food, the soldiers under the command of several leaders would constantly break out in conflict, from the initial verbal abuse to the final large-scale fight.

The atmosphere in the entire camp suddenly became tense, so that when they met each other, they were all blew their beards and glared at each other, and they were not convinced by each other.

Seeing that the rebel army was about to fall apart, the three leaders could no longer remain indifferent at this time.

They instigated each other's subordinates to find trouble, which was nothing more than an open and secret struggle for the command.

If the conflict escalated and the rebels began to kill each other, it would not be what they wanted to see.

The three leaders knew that their main enemy now was the Far East Dynasty, and it was far from the time for internal fighting.

Moreover, the strength of the three of them was similar, and it would be difficult for one to dominate and annex the other two.

Therefore, Zhang Dayuan, Chen Ru and Xu Fu had to sit down and discuss the command of this rebel army.

"When we raised the flag and started the uprising, we swore to overthrow the dark and unjust Far East Dynasty, so that all brothers and sisters could have farmland, clothes and food. Although we have achieved a small victory, the Far East Dynasty is still standing. We brothers should unite and not kill each other."

Chen Ru first emphasized their original intention, which was nodded in agreement by the other two leaders.

"Now more and more rebel brothers have joined us, and our team has already reached 80,000 to 90,000 people. If we continue like before, there will be a big mess. Recently, there have been constant conflicts and frictions among the people. If this continues, it will be a mess. I think it is time to reorganize the rebel team and elect a respected person to command the rebel team."

After hearing what Chen Ru said, Xu Fu and Zhang Dayuan were silent, because they both wanted to be the supreme commander.

After Chen Ru looked at Xu Fu and Zhang Dayuan, who looked uncertain, he slowly spoke again.

"Brother Zhang has a strong army and has made the most contributions in several battles with the dynasty army. I am willing to recommend you as the commander-in-chief to lead our brothers in the rebel army."

Chen Ru first did Zhang Dayuan a favor, that is, to recommend him as the commander-in-chief.

Chen Ru did this for his own reasons, because if he rashly jumped out to compete, he would not be strong enough, and the other two families would definitely not agree, so it would be like asking for trouble.

But it was different when he recommended Zhang Dayuan, because he could do Zhang Dayuan a favor, and the other party would not treat him unfairly if he became the commander-in-chief.

And Xu Fu couldn't object, because if he did, he would offend Zhang Dayuan, and they might even fight, and then he would be the one who benefited.

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about? I am not very knowledgeable......."

When Zhang Dayuan saw Chen Ru nominating him, he was happy but still pretended to decline, but he was looking at Xu Fu out of the corner of his eyes.

Xu Fu wanted to be the supreme commander, and after hearing what Chen Ru said, he couldn't help but want to curse in his heart.

Since Chen Ru had already nominated Zhang Dayuan, could he object now?

If he objected, wouldn't he offend both Zhang Dayuan and Chen Ru?

The strength of the three parties was similar, and they couldn't do anything to each other, but now it was obvious that Zhang Dayuan and Chen Ru were starting to wear the same pants. With Xu Fu's strength, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

"Brother Zhang, please don't refuse. In this camp, I don't obey anyone but you. If you don't become the commander-in-chief, I, Xu Fu, will be the first to disagree."

Xu Fu was now speechless, unable to speak out his bitterness. He could only force a smile and agreed that Zhang Dayuan should be the commander-in-chief.

"Since the two brothers are so kind to me, I will obey your orders."

After pretending to decline, Zhang Dayuan smiled and agreed to be the commander-in-chief.
