Just as Xiao Han and Gouzi were talking in low voices, about fifty miles north of the short mountain, the pirates' chaotic camp was finally awakened by the morning sun, and it gradually became noisy from silence.
Many people of all kinds crawled out of tents, grass huts, and even pits.
Some stretched themselves and shouted to their companions.
Some people are busy packing their things.
Some people wake up and find that they have lost the property they just robbed...
In short, this place soon became more lively than the market!
These messy guys are said to be pirates, but in fact, only one or two out of ten people really rely on the sea for their livelihood.
Most of them are stragglers left over from the Sui Dynasty, or thieves who have committed crimes and have nowhere to escape, as well as all kinds of idlers, second-rate people, etc.
According to the previous theory, these people all live their lives with the idea of surviving and messing around for a day!
At most, they only robbed a big household in the village. It was impossible for them to have any thoughts about a big city like Yangzhou, and it was even more impossible for them to be so bored that they took the initiative to attack a governor, and even swallowed thousands of big soldiers!
They don't have the courage, the vision, and the ability to deal with the Tang Dynasty's counterattack!
But what is happening now is so strange!
It's just such a diverse group of thieves. In this winter season, they don't go their own way to engage in their own promising robbery business.
You must seek death and go against the powerful Tang Dynasty!
Why did it become like this?
It is estimated that even many people who participated in this issue from the beginning have not figured this out clearly!
"Boss, why do we have to go to Yangzhou?"
In a corner of the pirate camp, a boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, skinny and wearing the same clothes as a beggar put down his work and turned to ask a man sitting on a big rock.
The man sitting on the stone with his legs crossed is completely different from the boy's straw-like body. He has a strong back and waist, and is tall and thick! He probably enjoys all the greasy meals on weekdays.
"Bah, when I go to Yangzhou, I am naturally going to rob money, food, and women! Hahaha..."
Hearing the boy's question, the man spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, then opened his mouth, revealing a row of big yellow teeth and said with a lewd smile!
Those eyes that were almost shining, seemed to have seen the rich city of Yangzhou open its door to him, revealing countless beauties and jewelry inside, allowing him to plunder and seize them!
When the young man heard what the man said, not only did he not laugh, but there was a bitterness on his thin face. He looked around cautiously and whispered: "But I heard that it is difficult to attack the city. Besides, what if the officers and soldiers are in danger?"
What should I do if I call you? These people around me are not trustworthy..."
"Snapped!!"
Before the young man could finish his sentence, the normally good man suddenly became furious!
He stood up, slapped the young man hard on the shoulder and head! The young man's thin body was so beaten that he could not stand steadily. He staggered a few steps to the side, and sat down without leaning to one side.
On the thick phlegm spit out by the big man!
"Bah, you are less courageous than a mouse! You are afraid of this and that before you get to the place. How can you not be afraid of starving in a mountain den?" The man withdrew the slap he had slapped, put his hands on his hips and glared at the young man.
Grow and scold!
The boy who fell to the ground had tears welling up in his eyes due to the slap.
However, he resisted the tears and instead silently got up, wiped the dirt on his butt, and said to the big man in fear: "Starving is terrible, but the kid always feels that they let us attack
The city wants us to die, not to divide our things!"
"Bah, you know nothing!"
Seeing that the young man was still talking about going to Yangzhou, the big man couldn't help but spit on him again, and scolded him fiercely:
"Boy, remember! It was me who picked you up from the dead! Your life belongs to me! Not to mention that I will lead you to attack the city and grab treasures this time. Even if I really let you die, you will
You have to go! Otherwise I will kill you now!"
The young man saw that the big man couldn't listen to his words at all, and a trace of hatred flashed deep in his eyes, but this hatred passed away in a flash without anyone noticing.
He covered his shoulders pitifully, nodded and agreed in a low voice: "It's... the grace of the boss to survive. I dare not forget it! Wherever you tell me to go, I will go!"
"Hmph! You're smart!"
Seeing this, the big man snorted, sat down again, crossed his legs and sneered: "Boy, don't think that just because you know a few words, you are much smarter than others! Do you think it is difficult to attack a city? Do you think the officers and soldiers are very powerful?
?Have you forgotten what happened to those officers and soldiers a few days ago?"
"Remember, those officers and soldiers are really vulnerable..." The big man asked several questions in succession, but this time the young man did not dare to give any honest advice and could only follow the big man's words.
At this time, he had already realized that either he, the cheap boss, had been brainwashed, or had been promised some huge benefits, and it would be useless to say anything at this time.
"Vulnerable? What do you mean? Another bad article!" The big man didn't understand the young man's words and refused to lower his head to ask. He became angry and slapped him again: "I'm telling you such nonsense so early in the morning.
!Go to work!"
The young man learned to be smarter this time and hurriedly hid behind him. Although he didn't dodge completely, the blow was much lighter than the last time.
Seeing the young man running away to work in the air conditioner, the man squinted his eyes and said as if to himself: "Nonsense, grandpa, don't you know that it is difficult to attack the city? But this time the man said that he would drive the Japanese first
Come on, at most let you minions keep up! Grandpas are safe!
In addition, Yangzhou City suffered a big loss first. Now it will be good to have a thousand soldiers to guard it. I don’t believe that after you have finished fighting, the Yangzhou City guarded by those soft-footed shrimps will not fall!
When the city gate opens, the grandpas rush into the city. No matter how much they grab, it is theirs! As long as they are smart and choose a good place to grab more, grandpa can change his place and become a rich man after coming out!
Are you still hiding like this all day long, living a life of hunger and satiety?"
Thinking of the pleasure, the man laughed unconsciously. When the young man who had not walked far away heard this laughter, his eyes were full of disgust!
It's a pity that the young man is now a pawn under the man. He has no ability to break away from the man's control. He can only be guided forward by the man like a puppet on strings.
And in this diverse team, there are many, many people just like the teenager.
They don't know what they are going to do, and they don't know what the future holds! Everything they have is in the hands of leaders like the big man.
As for these leaders, they may all have their own little calculations, but they don't know that these little calculations have long been seen by the more cunning and powerful people above them, and they have used them cleverly!
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!
I just wonder if there will be another hunter waiting quietly behind the oriole, holding a shotgun.
