Reincarnated Tiger: Wu Song died at the start

Song Jiang is riding on a horse, and the others are all infantry. One can imagine the mobility of such soldiers.

They walked out of the barracks slowly, and the atmosphere seemed a bit tragic as if they were going to die. Behind them, the officials of the Ministry of War watched the team leave Kaifeng coldly.

Behind him, a person asked: "My lord, since they have already set off, should we also report and start taking action?"

The official of the Ministry of War nodded: "Report, this world should be in chaos. Although the Taishi has a great voice now, the emperor actually wants to support the Eight Kings to fight against the Taishi. If this is the case, let's slaughter the three counties first." , use it as a warning."

"Yes."

All the faces were indifferent, as if the words just now were not what they said.

Slaughtering three counties, at least tens of thousands of people, these human lives are not as good as pigs and dogs in their eyes.

In front.

Chen Xiu squatted on Song Jiang's shoulder, looking at the surrounding scenery.

According to the itinerary, they would have to walk about ten days from Erlong Mountain. Since Chen Xiu needed to go to Qingyuan County to find reinforcements, they had to make a detour, and it would take about fifteen days to arrive.

The Song Dynasty was indeed a dynasty with the peak of economic and cultural development, and the official road was very wide. Even the infantry, walking on such an official road, would not be too slow.

After walking for about three days, they were very close to Qingyuan County.

Although Qingyuan is a county seat, its permanent population is very small, probably less than 10 people, most of whom are scattered in the surrounding villages.

On the fifth day or so, Chen Xiu and others finally arrived in Qingyuan County.

"My lord, Qingyuan County has arrived."

Xu Bin trotted all the way to Song Jiang's side.

Song Jiang was riding on a horse with his eyes closed to rest his mind, but he opened his eyes when he saw this, said "um", and asked Xu Bin, "How long will it be dark?"

Xu Bin looked at the sun and replied, "Probably less than an hour away."

There was flat ground in front of him, obviously not a good place to set up camp, but fortunately, scouts came back soon and reported to Song Jiang.

"My lord, there is a small village ahead."

Song Jiang nodded: "Then go and have a look."

Hundreds of people walked forward and arrived at the village.

The original number of more than 200 people, during the marching distance these days, people still kept falling behind and running away, but now there are only more than 180 people left.

This made Chen Xiu a little worried.

Wouldn't he be a polished commander after arriving at Erlong Mountain?
Fortunately, those who fell behind were basically "veterans" from the previous barracks, the really old ones.

Originally, I thought that more people would have more strength, but after they fell behind, Chen Xiu also felt that it was a good thing. These people may not necessarily have more strength when they were brought over, and they might even need to worry about them accidentally missing their weapons when they took them. I hurt myself.

In addition, some people who were not determined also took the opportunity to escape.

If this kind of people went to the battlefield, it would be fine to fight with the wind, but if the wind went against them, they would quickly become deserters, and they might directly disperse their own lineup.

Soon, Chen Xiu stopped thinking about it and turned her gaze forward.

In front is a small village with about dozens of families.

However, it is a little strange that at this time, there should be smoke in every family, but this village seems to be quiet, as if there is no one.

It wasn't just Chen Xiu who felt strange, even Xu Bin came over on purpose and said to Song Jiang, "My lord, there are some problems ahead."

Song Jiang waved his hand to signal the army to stop advancing, and then he asked people to go to the village to check first.

Due to Zhang Zhongdao's injury, Chen Xiu specially asked him to lie down on top of several grain trucks behind. Now that the convoy stopped, he also walked to the front.

Zhang Zhongdao frowned and looked ahead, Chen Xiu controlled Song Jiang and asked him, "Do you think there is any problem ahead?"

Zhang Zhongdao frowned and shook his head: "It seems to be so strange, but...it seems to be nothing."

Because of his injury, his perception of some things is not so clear, unless he can get very close to perceive.

Chen Xiu was not disappointed either, she looked ahead quietly.

Soon, the person who went to the village to inquire came out, followed by an old man with a gray beard, and the agent said directly, "My lord, this is the village chief."

Chen Xiu nodded.

The spies returned to the team, and Chen Xiu also began to look at the village chief.

The old village head kept frowning, and he didn't know if he was worried because of their arrival, or if there was something else that made him feel worried.

Seeing that Song Jiang was looking at him all the time, he also understood something, and immediately bowed to Song Jiang and said, "Little old Meng Li, I have met you."

Song Jiang nodded, without showing any emotion on his face, and asked Meng Li, "What is this place?"

Meng Li said directly: "This is the boundary of Qingyuan County, and ours is Mengjia Village."

"Meng Family Village?"

Chen Xiu searched for this place on the previous map in her mind, and at the same time controlled Song Jiang to ask: "Now it's almost dinner time, why don't you light a fire and cook here?"

Meng Li's face froze, and he said quickly, "We are used to eating balls at night, so there is no need to light a fire."

Anyone can see that this old man is not telling the truth.

Although Chen Xiu thought this place was strange, she didn't want to explore too much. The most urgent task now was to go to Qingyuan County to find Zhou's family and ask for help.

Chen Xiu directly asked Song Jiang to say: "We are the army going to suppress the bandits. We pass by here and plan to use the open space in your village to take a rest and borrow some firewood by the way."

"what?"

Hearing Song Jiang's request, old man Meng Li was visibly shocked.

Seeing this, Song Jiang frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why, can't you?"

The status of soldiers in the Song Dynasty is relatively low, but that is only for civil servants. For the village chief of a small village, the army is not easy to mess with at all.

However, Meng Li still did not let go, he hesitated and said: "Sir, if you pass by here and want to rest for a while, drink some water, or even eat something, I can get the whole village to join in right away, and I will give it to you no matter what. Come out for a busy meal, but if you want to make a fire here to cook and set up camp, you really can't."

Meng Li's face was obviously fearful, obviously he was more afraid of these officers and soldiers, but he still gritted his teeth and refused Song Jiang's request.

Chen Xiu was also very surprised by this.

Chen Xiu squinted her tiger eyes and looked at the old village chief. The old village chief lowered his head and looked very disturbed. Needless to say, he was also very scared.

The soldiers next to him were a little impatient. After marching for a day, they finally found a suitable place to set up camp, but they refused to let them here.

If it had been changed to another officer, he might have been forced to stay.
