Chapter 746: The Long March (fifth update)
Shang Jiuge’s initial team was actually very small.
There were only the women from the Moulin Rouge and some of the prisoners captured later.
The only flaw is that none of these Koreans can speak Chinese.
Not to mention Chinese dialect, not many people can even speak Japanese dialect.
After all, Shang Jiuge spent a year in Japan and finally learned some Japanese dialect, but these are of no use now.
So in the end, only Huanxi was able to communicate with Shang Jiuge in the entire team.
Of course, the communication between the two people has always been very metaphysical.
They always talk about unrelated topics, but in the end they are able to solve the problem relatively well.
The reason why Shang Jiuge decided to take them to Rangping was because even Shang Jiuge knew part of Fang Bian's plan.
It's just that she is not interested in Fang Bie's plan, and Shang Jiuge does not have a place in Fang Bie's entire plan.
But even so, she also knew that if Zhou's army finally successfully dispatched, then the primary target of attack would be Ping.
If you bring these refugees to Rangping, you will finally be freed from Japanese control and have the opportunity to usher in a new life.
Of course, the only problem is that it's still a bit far away.
The initial starting resources were the grain and supplies hoarded by the Red Mill. These people used carts and a small number of mules and horses to carry the grain on their way. Shang Jiuge was the only security guard of this large army.
She not only has to defend against external enemies, but also resolve internal conflicts. Due to various distribution issues, internal oppression and fights often occur. Most of the time, these conflicts are mediated by Huanxi, but if there is no way to resolve them, then When Shang Jiuge comes forward, she will only do one thing, and that is to ask the ultimate black sheep to leave the team.
Or choose to die under her sword.
Although Shang Jiuge really knows nothing about management, she is still very good at weeding out the bad apples.
So this team with strange composition was carrying out such a cruel expedition stumblingly.
The food she brought will eventually be eaten, and various refugees will keep joining in on the road. As for the selection criteria of these refugees, Shang Jiuge will leave it to Huanxi to handle the ones she thinks can be brought. Just take them with you, and throw away those that she thinks shouldn't be brought.
Shang Jiuge has never been a person who likes to think. She prefers fighting to thinking.
But there are too many things in this world that cannot be solved by fighting, such as food.
You can't get food by fighting.
Of course, fighting doesn’t mean that you can’t get food at all.
Although this team of refugees is vast, the real core combat strength is only Shang Jiuge. However, even a ragtag group with only one core combat strength can still crush and win when encountering a small Japanese army. Therefore, in the second half of the journey, plundering the supplies of the Japanese army in reverse became a required course to some extent.
Of course, when passing by farmland that has not had time to be harvested, or those villages that are empty after fleeing, one can still do their best to search for all available supplies, such as the roasted sweet potatoes that were happily given to Shang Jiuge.
This girl is the only soul of this team, so even Shang Jiuge felt unimaginable fatigue during such a march.
If there is really any luck, the biggest luck is that they did not encounter the Japanese army.
Because the Japanese vanguard army had been defeated by Guang Jiqi, the large number of Japanese soldiers who fled not only took advantage of the refugee team, but also perfectly covered their whereabouts.
So when the team finally appeared south of Rang Pingcheng, Guang Jiqi was surprised when he received the news.
But for Shang Jiuge, it is great news, because she knows Guang Jiqi.
Of course, meeting Guang Jiqi is not great good news. The even greater good news is that he finally met a fellow villager who can speak Chinese dialect.
Although Shang Jiuge didn't know that the leader of this expeditionary force was Guang Jiqi, she at least knew that Fang Bie should be among this force.
Therefore, facing the advance troops sent by Guang Jiqi, Shang Jiuge could clearly tell the other party that she was here to find Fang Bing.
And these people all ended up in this situation because of their differences.
What was even more fortunate for Shang Jiuge was that Fang Bie was still in Rangping City at this time.
After capturing Rangping, the tired army also needs to rest and recuperate. It also needs to use it as a base to accumulate food, grass and ordnance to launch a larger attack on the Japanese army, so as not to stay in the army doing nothing for the time being. It didn't take long to imagine that Shang Jiuge would be able to wait.
Not only Shang Jiuge, but also this massive refugee team of nearly ten thousand people.
It's hard to imagine that this is a team that Shang Jiuge can pull together alone.
But no matter how unimaginable things happen before your eyes, you can only choose to believe them.
So when he saw Shang Jiuge's first sentence, Fang Bie asked directly: "How did you do such a thing?" "
By the way, can anyone understand you?"
Fang Bie was keenly aware of it. at this point.
People need communication to trust each other, but if they can't even communicate, then how can there be trust at all?
But it happened that Shang Jiuge was able to gain the trust of so many people, so much so that he moved such a complex mob for nearly a thousand miles, and finally brought them all the way from the enemy's hinterland to the gates of Rang Pingcheng.
"No, but I met a very interesting child." Shang Jiuge looked at Fang Bie and said seriously: "I used to be very curious about what my senior brother was thinking when he picked me up, but now I probably understand."
" So you picked up an apprentice?" Fang Bie looked behind Shang Jiuge.
But he saw nothing.
"Not yet." Shang Jiuge shook his head: "But I plan to take her back to Huashan, because she doesn't seem to have any family anymore." "As you mentioned, I also
picked up a Japanese child, but the difference is that I don't I plan to take him back, but on the contrary, I want to send him back to Japan." Fang Bie mentioned the existence of the bear calmly.
"I'm not interested in these." Shang Jiuge looked at Fang Bue: "I'm only interested in how you want to end this farce after you have caused so many murders?" "This is not a farce
; Something is bound to happen." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and said seriously: "I know you have seen a lot of unhappy things along the way, but I can tell you, I don't feel happy either." Shang
Jiuge Ge looked into Fang Bian's eyes and finally shook his head: "I don't want to stay here anymore, I'm going back to China."
Everything here made even Shang Jiuge feel a little tired.
"What a coincidence." Fang Bie looked at Shang Jiuge and smiled: "I just happened to have something to do when I get back."
