Chapter 380: Three Armies Set Out Together, Heading Toward Their Own Goals
The next morning, Jun Mo and Yu Jiuer once again disguised themselves as people from the Western Regions, mixed in with the people of the Western Regions, informed the slaves that they had arrived at the edge of the forest as planned, and by the way, spied on the enemy situation.
The two men first came to the Marquis' Mansion that Niu Mang mentioned, moved the flower pot on the wall, and drew a prepared symbol on the flower pot according to the code taught to the secret guard by Old Hu.
Seeing this symbol, the slaves felt more confident and were determined to take action tomorrow night!
After finishing this, the two of them turned around and went to look for Old Hu.
In the mornings, Old Hu collects manure at the coastal docks. Jun Mo pricks up his ears and listens to the sound of the manure collection bell in the alley, and he knows where Old Hu is.
Sure enough, they didn't search for long before they saw Old Hu coming out of the alley pushing a manure cart.
When seeing Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo dressed as people from the Western Regions appear, Old Hu knew that the army was ready and could proceed according to the original plan.
Old Hu gripped the handlebars tightly in his hands, trying his best to suppress his inner excitement, and bit his lips to prevent his mouth from trembling and arousing suspicion.
After achieving their goal, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo turned around and walked away. Niu Mang and Lao Hutou went to inform the rest of the slaves.
In fact, the notice had been sent out a few days ago, and the action was scheduled for tomorrow night. The news had already blown southward along the coast like waves blown by the wind. The slaves all knew that tomorrow night would be the moment of the outbreak they had been looking forward to day and night.
The two of them are here now just to comfort the slaves.
When the war began, as long as the slaves in the generals' homes could use rat poison to poison the soldiers of their own government, the combat capability and enthusiasm of the Western Region soldiers would be greatly reduced, thus adding a guarantee of victory to the war.
Then, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo came to the coastal pier.
The market here is no longer as lively as it used to be, and there are no large numbers of people from the Western Regions rushing to grab seafood at the dock in the morning.
The five princes withdrew troops from the coastal areas of the Western Regions and brought them back to their country, causing panic among the people of the Western Regions.
Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo mixed into the crowd and listened to their chat.
"I heard that the war is going on over there, and I don't know how long we can have peace here. My relatives in my hometown wrote to say that they will come here to join us next month."
"Hey! In the past, the king encouraged the people to live along the coast, but no one wanted to. Now, when the war breaks out, they all rush here. We are also occupying other people's territory, and we don't know how long we can occupy it. We can only move to the forest!"
"Who dares to go to the forest now? I heard that the forest is controlled by a group of crazy men in black. All the soldiers and generals in it have been wiped out. It's very chaotic. The five princes are too busy to take care of themselves and don't pay any attention to it. Now, no one dares to even approach the edge of the forest!"
Listening to their discussions, Yu Jiuer's mouth twitched. In their eyes, her Black Wind Society killer turned out to be a madman?
It's just that I still have a childlike innocence, okay?
After hearing enough, the two of them walked towards the forest.
In the forest, everyone kept looking up at the sky. Finally, night fell and the soldiers became impatient.
The exciting moment finally arrived. With Jun Mo waving the flag in his hand, the three armies set out together and rushed towards their respective goals.
Yu Jiuer was ordered by Jun Mo to stay at the edge of the forest and lead the secret guards to guard the entrances of the forest to prevent the people or soldiers of the Western Regions from fleeing into the forest to avoid the war. Catching mice would be a hassle at that time.
Not long after, Yu Jiuer, who was standing on the hot air balloon, saw flames coming from the night sky in the direction of the coastal pier, and thick smoke rising, and faint explosions were heard in her ears.
The hot air balloon can be used to watch the battle and prevent the people from the Western Regions from escaping into the forest when it rises into the air. Another important thing is to check when the Black Wind Society killers arranged by Jun Mo can bring the slaves from the generals' mansions.
After settling the slaves back in Yinshan County, she was busy leading assassins to raid the villages and control the villagers in the Western Regions.
Such an exciting moment is about to come, and Yu Jiuer is feeling itchy.
The fighting continued until dawn with no winner decided.
Jun Mo did not come back, he only sent someone to deliver a message saying that everything was going according to plan, so everyone could rest assured.
Although Jun Mo's 40,000 troops had the numerical advantage over the 30,000 Western Region soldiers at the coastal docks, it was their territory after all, and it was unlikely to take it down overnight.
When the sun rose, Yu Jiuer finally saw the Black Wind Society killers leading the slaves running towards the forest.
After the slaves entered the forest, the people of Yinshan, who had been waiting anxiously, cheered, hurried over to greet them, and were busy bandaging the wounds of the injured slaves.
When the slaves saw their long-lost relatives, they were stunned, with their mouths half open and no one could utter a word for a long time.
When the people handed them water, they drank it stupidly; when they put food to their mouths, they opened their mouths to take it; when they asked them to sit down and bandage their wounds, they let them do whatever they wanted.
Yu Jiuer covered her mouth and asked them jokingly: "Are you scared silly by the people from the Western Regions?"
"Wow!" A middle-aged woman hugged Lu Liu in front of her and burst into tears uncontrollably.
Old Hu held his wife's hand tightly, tears welled up in his eyes, he sniffed, controlled his shaking hands, and choked out, "Seeing my loved ones again, it feels like a lifetime ago!"
Thirty-five years ago, he was abducted by people from the Western Regions and brought to the coast of the Western Regions. He was forced to separate from his family. When they met again, his beautiful wife had a head full of silver hair, and his son, who was less than a month old, was already middle-aged.
He was tortured by the people from the Western Regions until he was just skin and bones, neither human nor ghost. He never expected to see his relatives again. How could he not be excited?
Soon after, slaves came into the forest one after another, and everyone burst into tears.
Yu Jiuer hurriedly asked them about the situation: "Don't cry yet, save some tears and continue crying when you return to Yinshan County. Now take a look at the slaves you have rescued. Are there any slaves left behind in the mansions along the coastal docks? Send the men in black to rescue those who have fallen behind."
The Black Wind Society killers always wore black clothes, so people were accustomed to calling them "Men in Black".
Lin Yishan wiped the sweat off his forehead and panted, "The recent mansions should have been rescued, but the ones further away will have to wait a little longer!"
By nightfall, all the slaves in the generals' mansions along the coastal docks were rescued. Thanks to proper arrangements made by the slave underground organization, no one was killed except for a few slaves who were injured.
What a joy!
However, after the slave movement broke out, no one knew what the situation of the slaves in places far away from the coastal docks was. Some of the Black Wind Society's killers had already secretly moved south, waiting for an opportunity to help the slaves in other places.
Jun Mo fought at the coastal wharf for a day and a night but failed to capture it.
At this moment, they were resting in place, and food and fodder had been delivered to the rear.
Yu Jiuer said to the people: "After making sure that there are no missing people, you can take the rescued villagers back to Yinshan County first! We are going to sweep the villages in the Western Regions.
Let's start from Xiaofang Village, which is the closest to here! The head of Xiaofang Village and I are old acquaintances!
The prince and I established a 'revolutionary base' in their village five years ago. I wonder if the house we funded is still there? This time we have to start with their village."
