Just as Li Luo led the 700 troops to advance to the island, disputes began to begin in the ancestral hall of Gurong Village.

More than a dozen village chiefs spoke different accents and insisted on their own opinions.

A thin old man said in a Guangdong accent: "Brother Lin, the urgent task now is to recommend the person. Without a backbone, there is no leader, a pile of loose sand, and without following the orders, everyone is at a loss."

This person is Mei Quanlu, the village chief of Baihe Village, and is also a scholar in the Song Dynasty. He is the oldest and an old scholar. He pays attention to seniority and naturally does not want other village chiefs to be the person in charge.

A Fujian accent also rang: "No, we have suffered too much loss, and if we continue like this, we will be killed by Shengfan. As the saying goes, "Snakes cannot do without a head, how can we do without a township chief? According to me, we should have been elected by the head of the township chief. With the township chief, we can only resist Shengfan."

He was Wu Zhenlou, the village chief of Xishan Village, Fujian, and a scholar of the Song Dynasty. He always advocated that all villagers elect village heads.

Another village chief said: "Tree moves dead and people move live, just move away and move south!"

Another person retorted: "I don't want crops? Move to the south, and there will be no birth in the south? Isn't this exhaustion?"

Lin Biju, the village chief of Linshui Village in Zhejiang, could no longer help but slap the table: "Brother Mei, Brother Wu, all the village chiefs, are now in a bad mood! What else are you and my village chiefs? What are you and I going to run away! Maybe tomorrow, you and my head are already in the life of life!"

Everyone was silent.

Lin Biju stood up and pointed to the fields outside: "These crops are our hard work, and this year they all depend on them to survive. If you leave the crops behind and move south, I will say one thing, what will thousands of us eat? We will not starve to death! Therefore, there is no need to mention the proposal of moving south!"

"I foresee that Shengfan will make a comeback soon. Now the plan is to give up the villages in the east and gather the villagers together, and not to be dispersed. The second is to select young and strong people who dare to fight, and then let those who have served as military leaders. The third is to select villagers who are good at running and keep watch outside the mountain. Once Shengfan is found, he will run back to report the news immediately."

"Does of the villagers have been in the army, and there are four or five hundred young and strong people who dare to fight, right? They may not lose if they fight with Shengfan with hoes."

Wu Zhenlou nodded and said, "This is a solution. I agree with Brother Lin's idea. But what about the people who are caught?"

Mei Quanlu also said: "I agree with it. But if there are so many people who have no general responsibility for the matter, wouldn't we discuss everything? How can we unify our power and respond freely when we are born?"

Wu Zhenlou and Mei Quanlu insisted on electing the leader first, not entirely out of selfishness, but also had great public intentions. When encountering a war of life and death, no one took charge of the power of the matter. How can we win? The risk is too great.

Otherwise, just grab lots and make a decision, depending on the will of God.

Lin Biju couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the two of them pointing to the "leader" again. But he also knew the importance of the leader? The problem is that there is no one with prestige enough to suppress the public and convince everyone, and the life story comes as soon as possible.

At this time, everyone missed the Song Dynasty.

It would be great if the Song Dynasty was still there.

Speaking of which, the officials of the Song Dynasty were not good, but the people could at least maintain food and clothing, and their lives were not difficult.

If the Song Dynasty had not perished, or if there was a Song army on this island, they would not have been so miserable.

Looking back now, when the Zhao Guan family was the emperor, their lives were the best and they were the most like individuals.

It seems that as long as the government is not overdoing it, places with government offices are better than places without government offices!

At this moment, a young man rushed in with sweat on his face and shouted, "It's not good... Shengfan is going down the mountain!"

What!

Everyone was shocked. Shengfan went down the mountain the day before yesterday to massacre two villages, why did he come so soon?

"Xiao Dingzi, have you seen clearly? How many generations have gone down the mountain!" Mei Quanlu asked anxiously.

Xiao Dingzi is very good at running and is bold and clever. He is the person who sent Mei Quanlu to watch near the mountains.

Xiao Dingzi ran for twenty or thirty miles, and even if he was good at running, he was exhausted. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Far from afar... I saw the downhill... I didn't see clearly... how many people! The village in the east... I heard from me that I've heard from him... all ran to this place..."

The village chiefs were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. In order to preserve their physical strength, they would definitely not run over. But counting it... it will be around half an hour at most.

Great!

It is too late to organize resistance again.

Now there is only one word: Escape!

The village chiefs urgently made the only choice, but before they could be ordered to escape together, another villager rushed in to report the news.

"The government army is here! Several large ships by the sea are all wearing armor!"

The village chiefs were shocked again.

How did the official army cross the sea? Could it be that they were here to arrest them, the fugitives?

Besides, the Song Dynasty was destroyed, so where were there any official army? Of course, the Yuan army came.

The birth of the world is like a ghost, the Yuan army is like a tiger, and they all come here at this time, with wolves in front and tigers in the back. What should I do?

"Tell all villages, everyone should run south quickly! Don't go west, the Yuan soldiers have landed from the west!"

Mei Quanlu, Lin Biju and others couldn't care about so many, and they were sweating profusely to escape south urgently.

Thousands of people escaping are not simple things. No matter how urgent it is, you have to bring food and essential things. Otherwise, even if you escape, you will starve to death?

Several villages to the east are closest to the mountains, and the people there are also running over in a mess at this time. They heard Xiao Dingzi shouting along the way and then ran away.

Hundreds of people rushed over in great horror, and the nearby villages were alarmed and gathered in a swarm of rushing towards Gurong Village.

In any case, it is safe to gather together now. All Han villages are in chaos.

Li Luo and others had already seen villagers not far away fleeing to Gurong Village in groups.

It seems that the villagers are so afraid of the "officials and soldiers" that they will run away as soon as they see them.

"Chen Wulang, run to report the message quickly and tell me in detail, don't let the villagers misunderstand!" Li Luo said.

"The grass-roots follow the order!"

Chen Wulang immediately ran to report the news and let the village chiefs know that General Li was here to help them wipe out the Shengfan, not a bad person.

This is the simplicity of ordinary people. If it were a scholar, he would never believe Li Luo easily. Who knew that this young general was not a trick of politeness before the army, and wanted to capture all the villagers in one go?

Just as the village chiefs were anxious, Chen Wulang brought back great news.

The official army was not here to wipe out the fugitives, but also promised to help them wipe out the Shengfan and take revenge!

"That General Li really said that?" Lin Biju asked in surprise and joy.

"What I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, where is there any falsehood?" Chen Wulang said proudly.

Mei Quanlu looked at the broken arrow in Chen Wulang's hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then General Li swore a sworn in front of thousands of people to help him. This is the kind-hearted heroic demeanor of ancient Taoism, and he should not be fake!"
