When Wu Mountain told him that Han San had killed an official and fled with people, Chen Mo knew that this group was going back to the village.
Because their families were still in the village.
In this world, those who can abandon their families are still the minority.
Therefore, Chen Mo deliberately did not warn the women in the village, just waiting for the official soldiers to come. When the soldiers took their families, he would then appear and save their families.
In this way, when they returned to the village to fetch their families, Chen Mo could win people's hearts.
And this group of "deserters" who had been driven to a dead end had no choice but to turn to him.
In a way, he was also gambling.
If he won the gamble, he would have a group of followers and no longer stand alone against the government.
Even if he lost the gamble, he wouldn't lose anything, he could just dive into the tunnels or the mountains.
