Of course, Niu Mangu understood what Daddy meant, and this was a chance to show his face. He didn't say much at the moment, untied the rope around his waist, jumped on his war horse and galloped back to the camp.

At this time, in the big tent in the camp, more than a dozen leaders, large and small, were sitting together drinking sullen wine. Everyone here knows that there won't be too many days like this! The Ming army did not attack, but they just wanted to block them here and freeze to death and starve to death. Just come and pick up the corpses when the spring flowers are blooming.

At this time, everyone was already drunk, but the most drunk was Liu Zongmin. Of all the people, he drank the most and the fastest!

Although Li Zicheng, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, said that he was not drunk, he also felt that his chest was suffocated and tasteless. Because more than a dozen people lowered their heads like this, you and I drank one sip at a time, and no one spoke for a long time.

Li Zicheng picked up the wine bowl and was hesitating whether to say a few words before drinking, or drink it directly? At this time, I heard someone outside the tent shouting loudly: "The Yellow River is frozen!" The Yellow River is frozen! ”

At this moment, Li Zicheng thought that he had heard it wrong! But he was a man of fortitude, and he decided he had heard it right. So when he put down the wine bowl and wanted to ask, he heard the soldiers at the door of the big tent shouting: "Niu Mangu, are you crazy? What are you yelling for? ”

Then I heard Niu Mangu shouting: "Let me in, there is a big matter!" ”

Li Zicheng immediately reacted that he had heard correctly, and immediately shouted: "Let him in!" ”

It was only then that the other leaders in the tent seemed to wake up a little and felt that something strange had happened.

As soon as the curtain of the big tent door was lifted, the cattle rushed in with wind and snow. He ran to the middle of the big tent in three steps and two steps, and said to Li Zicheng with his hands dancing: "The Yellow River is frozen!" It's frozen, we can cross the river now! ”

Li Zicheng was stunned when he heard this! I can't help but think in my heart, it's really heaven and earth! Isn't destiny in me? This thought flashed through him, and he immediately stood up and said eagerly, "Tell me what is going on?" ”

The other leaders who were a little more sober also stared at Niu Mangu with their eyes narrowed. The cow is full of grain and puts what happened in the morning

I said it in detail. When he finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted in the big tent.

Li Zicheng had calmed down at this time. He sat down, rubbed the beard on his face, and said, "So, the Yellow River is indeed frozen and can leave?" ”

As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, Liu Zongmin, who was drunk in a daze, raised his head and said, "What is frozen?" It's good to grill it over the fire! ”

The people in the big tent burst into laughter! Li Zicheng also laughed. After laughing, Li Zicheng casually ordered two people and said: "Drag Lao Liu out, put him in the snow, and let him sober up!" ”

The two didn't wait to get up, and a small leader sitting at the mouth of the house ran out of the tent with a smile and came in with a large handful of snow, and then went straight to Liu Zongmin. Liu Zongmin stared at the two big eyes and didn't understand what this person was going to do, when the little leader stuffed the snow into Liu Zongmin's neckline!

At this moment, Liu Zongmin jumped up as if he was on fire! He reached into his clothes to grab the snow out. But the snow had already melted away when it met his wine-hot body, and it slid down his body to the innermost part of his clothes! I really can't take it out for a while!

Everyone watched him shout and scream, and the appearance of checking his clothes was another burst of laughter! When Liu Zongmin finally took out the snow from his clothes, he grabbed the little leader in anger and was about to lose his temper.

As a result, Li Zicheng said loudly: "Liu Heizi, don't do it!" I asked him to help you sober up! ”

Liu Zongmin has actually come to his senses. Although he dared to lose his temper with others, he was still convinced by him and Li Zicheng. Seeing that Li Zicheng had spoken, he could only mutter: "Why are you fooling me? It's cold to stuff snow into your clothes! ”

Everyone laughed again! Li Zicheng ignored Liu Zongmin and said directly: "Everyone go and take a look." The cattle are full of grain, call all the personal soldiers, and bring more ropes. ”

Niu Mangu agreed and went out. Waiting for Niu Mangu to gather the personal soldiers of each family, Li Zicheng and they were already waiting for them with their horses.

Everyone rode straight to the bank of the Yellow River. Due to the eagerness of everyone, they galloped all the way and arrived at the shore almost in a moment. Wait for everyone to restrain the war horse and see

Looking at the snow-white river full of wind and snow, Li Zicheng laughed and said: "The sky will never stop me!" ”

Everyone walked down the embankment, Li Zicheng jumped off the horse, hugged the cow Bajin who came up and said: "Old cow! You're amazing! Now the whole camp has to thank you! ”

Niu Bajin smiled and said, "That's the good luck of the leaders!" ”

Li Zicheng was very satisfied with Niu Bajin's answer. He patted him on the shoulder vigorously, turned to all the soldiers and said, "In groups of three, tie the rope." Have you tried to see if the surface of the river is frozen hard? ”

These pro-soldiers followed the leader all day long, naturally knowing the predicament faced by their side. Originally, I had the heart to wait for death, but when I heard that the Yellow River was frozen, the way of life suddenly appeared in front of me, of course, I took the initiative to explore the way.

After putting on the ropes, everyone went down to the ice and began to test this long section of ice. Since this section is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, it is not as wide as the lower reaches. So in less than a meal, these people walked back and forth on the ice.

Li Zicheng and the other leaders standing on the shore knew that the Yellow River was indeed frozen without their report! So all of them are festive and colorful!

Li Zicheng immediately ordered: "Everyone go back and immediately organize the brothers to pull out the camp." Today it is necessary to cross the Yellow River and camp on the other side of the river. lest the sun rise tomorrow and melt the river! ”

The other leaders felt that Li Zicheng's order was very secure, and they all surrendered their hands to accept the order. Then he fought back and began to organize men and horses to cross the river.

Not long after Li Zicheng and the others returned to the camp, the entire camp was boiling! Everyone was busy packing up. Just after noon, a large group of men and horses meandered out of the camp and headed straight for the Yellow River.

Li Zicheng had already left manpower on the bank of the river, marking the sections of the road that could be crossed. But he was still very cautious and careful to let people cross the river at a distance. Anyway, now that there are no Ming troops around, it doesn't matter if you slow down.

Early the next morning, under Li Zicheng's order, the rebels set out of camp! Since crossing the river, everyone has felt much more relaxed on the march. Because there was no Ming army chasing them behind, the mood must have been happy.
