Capítulo 137: The Yellow Flag Army, like you, has help from a hermit
The women bathed upstream, the men bathed downstream, and the distance between the two miles.
Madam Chen also sent people to bring them towels and soap.
The women were surprised to find that a piece of soap as smooth as jade, rubbed into foam, could wash away all the dirt on their bodies.
It also left a lingering fragrance.
The men also discovered it, rubbed foam from head to toe, and washed their bodies.
After everyone was washed, the porridge for 100,000 people was cooked.
In order to protect their fragile stomachs, only eggs and a little fine salt were put in the porridge.
The 100,000 people had been hungry for almost a year, and when they held the hot porridge in their hands, many of them burst into tears.
The child held the white rice porridge and cried to the woman, "Mom, it's white rice porridge. If dad could live a few more months, he could eat white porridge!"
The woman held the white rice porridge and burst into tears instantly!
At that time, even if the child's father was a deserter and fled to Zhenguan... he could have survived. There were also some old soldiers wiping tears silently.
If they had come to Zhenguan two days earlier, their wives and children would not have been slaughtered by the barbarians by Xu Huai.
Now seeing everything in Zhenguan, they hate Xu Huai even more.

Chen Kui led Cheng Zixiao and a group of soldiers to Zhan Chengyin's tent.
Xu Huai had ten generals under his command, each of whom managed 10,000 soldiers.
Except for Li Hu, all of them came.
After washing up, the generals came to the tent and half-knelt to kowtow to Zhan Chengyin.
"Hello, general!"
Zhan Chengyin put down the military book, stood up and looked at them.
They were very dark-skinned, skinny, and as tall as Chen Kui.
The youngest was Cheng Zixiao!
He nodded, with one hand behind his back.
"Since you have joined the Zhan Family Army, you are one of us!"
"There is water and food in the city. Madam Chen will make arrangements for your relatives and families. This general promised that each new soldier will have eight kilograms of rice and four kilograms of flour..."
"Song Duo, you arrange for each general's family to have 100 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, a barrel of oil, five bags of salt, five kilograms of pork, and ten kilograms of vegetables..."
"If the vegetables are not enough, go to Song Duo to get more!"
The nine people were shocked. One hundred and fifty kilograms of food, oil, salt, meat, vegetables...
They couldn't even think of such a meal three days ago.
They had all seen the soldiers on the city wall eating steamed white rice.
But they were Xu Huai's generals and had followed him for many years!
It would be difficult for Zhan Chengyin to accept their surrender without any worries.
In Daqi, traitors are the most despicable.
They wanted to have a meal so that their soldiers and families could survive.
They never expected that Zhan Chengyin's conditions were so generous.
In an instant, the nine soldiers kowtowed deeply to Zhan Chengyin!
"Minister, thank you, General!"
"Get up!"
Zhan Chengyin gestured, and Chen Kui helped the man up.
"These 100,000 people, except for Li Hu's soldiers, will be assigned to Chen Kui and Chen Wu for management. For the remaining 90,000 people, you will each manage your own soldiers."
"Tonight, all of you have a good rest. Tomorrow the barracks will be expanded and we will set up camp..."
The nine people were delighted.
They were also afraid that Zhan Chengyin would seize their soldiers after entering Zhenguan City. If a general has no soldiers under him, wouldn't he become an idler who eats empty salaries?
They all knelt down and thanked Zhan Chengyin again.
Accepting them and giving the soldiers a way to live has not yet seized the military power.
They all left the tent happily.
Compared with Xu Huai, Zhan Chengyin's personality charm is too great. No wonder Chen Kui and Mo Fan, the sons of generations of nobles, obey his words.
Chen Kui took them to the tent in front of the cook's room.
Prepare dinner, prepare wine and meat, and feast them.
When the generals saw the steamed fish, fried beef, and roast duck on the table...
all of them widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva!
They haven't eaten these good things for a long time!
The general named Xu Zhi, with red eyes and choking sobs, said: "General Chen, can I take some back for my wife to eat? She has never had a good day since she married me, and she fainted last night from shock!"
She was almost killed by the barbarians. If it weren't for the servants blocking the knife, she would have died!"
Chen Kui heard this and scolded Xu Huai, "I should have shot this old man to death the last time I went to the camp. He wouldn't have killed so many people."
"If you want to take it home to your relatives, take it back!"
"If it's not enough, ask the cook to cook it again."
Several generals immediately had tears in their eyes and wanted to kneel down.
Chen Kui held them up.
They wiped their tears with their sleeves and choked up, "Thank you, General Chen!"
Chen Kui waved his hand and didn't disturb them from eating. When he walked out of the tent, Cheng Zixiao followed him out.
"Uncle..."
Chen Kui didn't have a good face for this kid.
His niece had suffered too much with him. The child was weak and could not eat more milk powder.
He could only feed her small meals a day and feed her slowly.
He said unhappily, "How many people does Xu Huai have who have not entered the town?"
"More than a thousand!"
"So many?"
"After all, he has been in the army for twenty years. No matter how bad he is, some soldiers have received his favor. But it doesn't matter if those people are not wanted. Even if they enter the city, we don't know if they are spies!" "
Now, all his soldiers have betrayed him. What does he want?"
"What else can we do? Guard the city gate!"
Cheng Zixiao changed the subject. "Uncle, how is Yun Niang? Can you take me to see Yun Niang?"
Chen Kui was reluctant to take him, but he saw the boy smiling ingratiatingly.
He called the adjutant unhappily, "Take him back to the mansion!"
Cheng Zixiao was taken to General Chen's mansion.
Chen Kui went to find Zhan Chengyin to report.

In the tent.
Zhan Chengyin looked at the secret letter presented by Mo Fan. He frowned slightly and read it at a glance.
Nowadays, rebellions have begun to rise in various places within the Great Qi Kingdom.
Among them, three forces have formed a large scale.
The strongest force is the Yellow Flag Army, which is supported by the local clans.
They shouted the slogan "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established" to rebel.
This force has new equipment and food.
Countless poor people who can't survive have joined.
In less than three months, the team has 250,000 people, and in time, it will exceed 500,000.
It is said that three cities have been captured in the hinterland of Daqi.
There is another force, which is equivalent to the Yellow Flag Army.
It was organized by gentry from all over the country. There was a famine in the country, and countless hungry people starved to death.
The gentry was almost out of food.
But they had money, organized a team, and began to rob food from granaries in various places.
This team developed rapidly, and in two months, the number of people had reached more than 100,000.
There is also a team, which is a pure peasant uprising.
The team was established in the mountainous area, with 80,000 people. It is said that they dug a treasure trove of gold and silver buried in a mountain somewhere.
This team developed rapidly, and 80,000 people responded in just over a month!
There are 200,000 troops in Daqi, and now they are rebelling everywhere.
The army was simply unable to control it.
Even the little emperor could only be furious and put pressure on General Lu.
General Lu was the commander of the 200,000-man army.
The secret letter was presented by Mo Fan, who was enjoying a fan and drinking a drink sent by the gods today.
He ate a full meal. "Now that the foreign enemy has retreated, the emperor will order you to suppress the uprising!"
"Or, ask the two brothers Chen Kui and Chen Wu to go..."
"Now, he may know that Xu Huai is completely useless, and he will be unable to sleep or eat well with 100,000 troops in your hands!"
"By the way, I have another piece of news for you. The weapons of the Yellow Flag Army are all made of fine iron!"
"Do you think there will be anyone in the Yellow Flag Army who has the help of a hermit like you!"

The pen in Zhan Chengyin's hand fell on the table.
