Gaocheng is an ancient city, although it belongs to Shijiazhuang in later generations, but Shijiazhuang at this time is just an abandoned soldier's camp dozens of miles away from the west of Gaocheng, which has been occupied by displaced people as a nest.

There are also a lot of displaced people in Gaocheng, but they are not outside the city or inside the city, after all, it is a small city with no resources, and most of the displaced people gather in the Hutuo River in the north of the city.

The locals of Hutuo River call the Grape River a big river, there are more than a dozen branches, such as the two Qingshui Rivers outside Baoding City are its tributaries, but at this time also due to the drought of the river water is not full, but compared with the Qingshui River in Baoding and the Huhe River outside Zhaozhou, it is still surplus.

Choosing water to live is the foundation of human life, after all, people can go without eating for three days but not drinking water for three days, the army camps to choose water, and the gathering of displaced people is no exception, both sides of the river bank are full of people, some sleep openly, some build simple shacks, but the health situation is very bad, feces and urine are everywhere, the river water is dirty, Chang Yu still does not have the courage to take a sip even if his thirsty throat is smoking.

Li Muxian is taking his followers to do things in Gaocheng, and he is brainwashing his believers along the way: Since Li Zicheng asked us to follow him to kill rich families and fight officers and soldiers, then we must eat and drink, otherwise why follow him, why work with him, if it is just to open the city gate to meet the king, and the king will not pay food when he comes, why should he leave his hometown, and now the court is also exempt from taxation for three years, how good is it to cultivate and raise at home......

But now we are going to starve to death, we want to eat, if we don't give it food, we will make trouble, and if we don't make trouble, we will go back to our hometown, why wander outside.

However, how could Li Zicheng have so much food for everyone to go, Chang Yu stood on the bank of the Hutuo River, looking at the black head and couldn't help sighing, Li Zicheng was doomed to failure.

In order to win the hearts of the people, he proposed that Juntian be exempted, but where did the tax-exempt food come from, and how to fill hundreds of thousands of mouths? He could only rely on torturing officials and rich squires to relieve himself for a while, but he forgot that in this era, it is not the common people who want to sit in the world and consolidate power, but the rich gentry and bureaucracy, and it is precisely he who offends all the people in this class.

And the food and salary all rely on plunder, which is not a long-term solution, people are cutting leeks at most, he is digging by roots, how can he sit in the world like this, at most it is just a short-lived Internet celebrity, which is far less beautiful than the apprentices hundreds of years later, although the means are the same, but people know how to find a place to recuperate and only cut leeks without digging roots.

Running the rivers and lakes will really make trouble, Li Muxian led his group of believers to rush directly into the county government in Gaocheng and shouted for food, the pseudo-county commander has never seen such a posture, and while appeasing, he hurriedly called someone to find the thieves stationed in the city to suppress it.

This kind of small city is mostly homeless people gathered, and after the thieves and soldiers came, they intimidated Li Muxian and others not to gather to make trouble, otherwise they would be arrested directly.

Li Muxian felt that the matter was not big enough, so he bewitched the believers with a few words, and with a few big masters in Wuzhong, he handed over these dozens of thieves in a blink of an eye, just one sentence, I want to eat!

As soon as the county order saw this, if he didn't take out some food to deal with it, he was afraid that even the yamen would be demolished immediately, and he hurriedly sent grain and rice, but this made the rest of the displaced people unbearable......

Half an hour later, the county commander with a blue nose and swollen face fled out of the city and fled north under the protection of several thieves.

Gaocheng is indeed chaotic, chaos into a pot of porridge, the homeless people into the yamen began to smash and loot, the little food left in the official warehouse was robbed, and even some homeless people feel that they are not happy and want to rob the local people in the city, but Li Muxian cut down several people, scolding them If they really do this, then they are enemies on three sides, the officers and soldiers will not let them go, the righteous army will not let them go, and they will not let them go.

"Remember, we are not officials, but we are not thieves, we want to eat, not human lives, we are such a ruined family, we are so ruined and uprooted from our homeland, do we want them to be the same as us......"

Li Muxian was agitated in the city, his followers quickly increased from more than a thousand to thousands, and there were hundreds of Dharma protectors around him, and they were growing at a very fast rate, Chang Yu, who was holding Nangong Yu by the river, sneered, Li Zicheng was most afraid of something

What is Li Zicheng most afraid of? It's not the little eunuch, but the snowball that he rolled on himself got bigger and bigger, and was finally crushed to death by the snowball! At present, there are too many soldiers and homeless people in his hands, and if one accidentally can't be fed, he will be eaten back! But he fell into a dead cycle again, standing still, the rations will soon be eaten, and the mouth that needs to be fed will be greatly increased if he continues to move forward, which is also obviously able to besiege the city with heavy troops to break through Baoding City in one fell swoop, but he just surrounded it but did not fight, and it was fought but not broken, just to consume these mouths.

But who would have thought that when he saw that it was effective, he was ignited in advance by a Taoist priest who ran the rivers and lakes, Chang Yu believed that in two or three days at the earliest, the displaced people in Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion would be in chaos, and Li Zicheng would cry at that time.

The herd mentality is terrifying, these homeless people are coerced to come every day is to eat and wait for death to do nothing, at this time someone took the lead in doing things, and immediately followed the coaxing, originally idle is idle to listen to and follow the food and drink, why not.

Chang Yu led Nangong Yu along the Hutuo River to the west, Jiang Fa, Wu Zhong and Qiao Sanxiu secretly protected him, and Chen Wangting's uncle and nephew followed Li Muxian to pretend to be a ghost and do things.

There are immortals in the city to give alms rations has gone viral, and the displaced people who originally gathered on the shore have rushed towards Gaocheng, and their momentum is overwhelming, just like the army pressing the realm of Chang Yu, who can be seen, and said in his heart Li Muxian, don't play with fire and burn yourself, you can't get in and out.

However, he knew that Li Muxian had been walking the rivers and lakes for several years, and he was proficient in all kinds of tricks of deception and abduction, of course, he also had means of self-preservation, and he would stay when he couldn't stop, so he didn't have to worry about him, what he was worried about was due north.

After crossing the river and going west for fifty or sixty miles, it is the city of Zhending Mansion, where there is a large army of thieves entrenched, at the moment Chang Yu does not want to move there, to be exact, it is not that he does not want to but has a weak heart, according to the current situation, I am afraid that he will not even be able to cross the Hutuo River and be surrounded by the displaced people, not to mention that the thief army does not need to move his fingers.

However, if you find Li Muxian's kind of play, I am afraid that he can bring these homeless people to Zhending Mansion within a day, it will be funny, Li Zicheng coerced the homeless people all the way to break the city and was then broken by the homeless people, which is simply too ironic.

Chang Yu couldn't help laughing, causing Nangong Yu to ask curiously, "Young Master, what are you laughing at?" ”

Eh, Chang Yu was shocked at this time: "I think of a happy thing, Nangong, let's cross the river and have a look."

Okay, Nangong Yu nodded slightly, but where did she go from.

The Hutuo River is a large river, the width of the river varies from 100 meters to 1,000 meters, the widest part of the downstream riverbed is as long as 3 kilometers, but there is also a width of 1,200 meters in front of you, and it is difficult to find a place to cross the river for a while.

Looking for someone asked and said to go west, there is a shoal over there, Chang Yu took Nangong Yu to the west, unconsciously walked for more than ten miles and still did not see a place to cross, and asked passers-by to tell him to go west again, and when he arrived at Fucheng, there was a bridge on the opposite bank to cross.

I don't care about you! Chang Yu secretly scolded, Lao Tzu has to run dozens of miles to cross the river, nonsense! When he was angry, he suddenly saw the southwest refugees coming, and he couldn't help but be surprised, looking at this posture......

Hold the grass, Li Muxian, a charlatan, really wants to coerce thousands of homeless people to go to Zhending Mansion to ask for food! There is a kind, there is a kind of hell! Chang Yu admires this product in his heart.

Could it be true that there would be a comedy side of his imagination, Chang Yu mentally drummed and thought about whether to let someone pass on the order Huang Degong to lead his troops to Zhending Mansion while the displaced people were making trouble.

After thinking about it, I finally gave up, let's take a look first, and then let's see how big waves Li Muxian's gang can make, if it is a stormy wave, he can take advantage of the situation, I am afraid that the waves will be scattered by the thief army one by one.

Li Muxian's heart at this time can be described as mixed Chen is surprised and happy, thinking about his decades of wandering the rivers and lakes, eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, cheating, abduction, and deception, how could he have expected that there is such a glorious time now, you must know that these fools are so easy to fool, they have already opened a dojo to accept believers, I am afraid that the mix is no worse than that Li Zicheng, and it will not be followed by the little eunuch now.

Of course, he also knew that what was in front of him was just a flash in the pan, and seeing that the number of people was overwhelming, it was actually vulnerable, not to mention that the officers and soldiers came to suppress it, but the thieves roared and were afraid that they would immediately disperse.

But it's still quite intimidating to bluff and make a show!

Since it is a bluff, then make the momentum even higher, if you fool tens of thousands of people and directly break the Zhending Mansion, you will be able to gain a firm foothold under the hands of the little eunuchs, I am afraid that the entire East Factory will dare to underestimate yourself.
