Far away from the capital, in the hall of the county government of Qixian County, Henan Province, a headless corpse was lying on the ground, Bobo's blood was gushing out from his neck, and the head of this corpse was being held in the hand by Li Zheng, who was full of murderous face, and at the same time, bursts of cheers were coming from a distance.

Li Zicheng stood next to him, looked at the lobby of Nuoda with satisfaction, and said to a young man standing next to him with a smile: "Brother Li Xian, it seems that it is really God's arrangement that we can meet!" You see, it only took us half a day to take the county seat, and this dog official county order has also become our ghost. ”

This young man is not an outsider, it is the young man he met with Li Zicheng in the restaurant a few days ago, and this young man's name is Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at Li Zicheng, who was laughing proudly, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart, he was depressed that day, and his friends came to the restaurant to drink in Wenxiang, and casually made a few complaints, but Li Zicheng heard them.

This guy cheekily came over to talk, and after chatting for a while, the two found that it was unexpectedly speculative, but when Li Zicheng and others identified themselves and invited him to join the gang, Li Yan was still frightened.

He is not a fool, he should understand what Li Zicheng meant. Either join them or die.

Is Li Yan afraid of death, the answer is yes, and soon he also became one of the rogues.

In this time and space, the time when Li Zicheng and Li Yan met was nine years earlier.

Now Li Zicheng is still just a small rogue with hundreds of subordinates, and Li Yan is only a twenty-one-year-old young man, perhaps it was a fateful encounter, after deciding to join the team of rogues, Li Yan quickly put forward several ideas for Li Zicheng.

Li Yan persuaded Li Zicheng that now that Gao Yingxiang is dead and the rebels are leaderless, Li Zicheng can proclaim himself the new king of Chuang, so that he will have fame.

The reason why the rebels suffered frequent defeats in the previous few times was because the reputation of the rebels was too bad, and this time we should take this opportunity to re-establish our own reputation, as the old saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, as long as they win the hearts of the people, the future development of the rebels will be much smoother.

After listening to Li Yan's words, Li Zicheng, who can only be regarded as semi-literate at best, is simply a treasure, and immediately named Li Yan as a military advisor and a third master, except for himself and Li Guo, he is the third person.

In the next few days, Li Yan was also very active in giving advice to Li Zicheng.

He not only sent people to walk around Qixian County to rumor, "Break into the king's benevolent and righteous army, and do not kill or plunder."

even made up nursery rhymes, so that the children of Qixian County sang everywhere: "Open the gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay food when he comes", "Open the door to worship the king, and discipline everyone to be happy".

In the age when there were no newspapers, television, and the Internet, such rumors were staggeringly lethal.

The people of Qixian County were already living a very hard life, and many farmers who had lost their land continued to flock to the county town to find a way to survive in order to make a living.

Due to the harsh winter, people were frozen to death and starved to death every day, but Zhang County Commander not only did not send people to set up sheds to give porridge, but instead sent officials to try to drive out the peasants, which also led to resentment among the people in the city.

At this time, the appearance of this nursery rhyme was tantamount to throwing a spark into a pile of dry firewood, and a raging fire ignited in an instant, and the entire Qi County was talking about this ballad for a while.

In just a few days, Qixian County was talking about this King Chuang everywhere, and before that Zhang County Commander could react, at dawn today, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and Li Yan led dozens of thieves who had infiltrated the city in advance to kill the soldiers guarding the city gate and open the city gate, and put hundreds of thieves who had been lurking outside the city into the city.

Li Zicheng did not hesitate to lead his subordinates to the county government, and cut off the head of Zhang Xianling, who was just about to escape, and thus Qixian fell into his hands.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers outside the door, and then a burly thief strode in and hugged his fist at Li Zicheng and said: "King Chuang, we have opened the granary according to the instructions of you and the military advisor, and distributed the grain inside to the homeless people in the city. ”

"Good!"

Li Zicheng laughed out loud and gave Li Yan a thumbs up, "Brother Li is really powerful, just a little means to win the hearts of the people in the city, it's really amazing." ”

Li Yan waved his hand again and again, "The king has won the award, I just obey the will of the people." The people of Qixian County have been suffering for a long time, and this time we just did what the people wanted to do but did not dare to do, which caused such a big response. ”

"Brother Li doesn't have to be too humble, it's your credit is your credit, and absolutely no one dares to rob it." Li Zicheng changed the topic, and then asked: "But although Qixian County has been won, what should we do next, I still want to hear your opinion, Brother Li." ”

Li Yan had already thought about this, he took out a map from his arms, walked to the bookcase in the lobby, and spread the map on it.

This picture was drawn by Li Yan himself, and it looks very simple, with some place names and routes roughly written on it.

I saw Li Yan pointing to the map and said, "King Chuang, please look, this is Qi County, where we are now."

Now we are Henan Mansion and Mengjin Mansion to the west, Daimyo's Mansion to the north, Fengyang Mansion to the east, and Wuchang Mansion to the south. You can't go to the west, and it's not easy to fight if the court of the Daimyo Mansion in the north is heavily armed, so at present, we only have two roads to the east or south, I don't know what King Chuang thinks? ”

Li Zicheng touched the short beard of his chin and hesitated, "Ma Laba Lamb, now we only have hundreds of brothers in the old camp, and even if we add the new brothers who have taken refuge, there are only four or five thousand people, which is too little.

When the dragon vein of the Ming Emperor was located in Fengyang Mansion, I heard that there were heavy troops there, and it must be difficult to fight, so I think it is better for us to advance south. First, you can avoid the Jiang Ning army, and second, you can ...... The south has always been a rich place, and with weak troops, it should be easier to advance there. ”

"Hmm...... That's what I thought, too. ”

Li Yan nodded, "We should quickly gather everyone and go straight to Runing Mansion, and then march to De'an Mansion and Wuchang Mansion after taking Runing Mansion." These places are all rich places, as long as we can take these two places, the power of our rebel army will expand rapidly, and it should not be a problem to organize and train tens of thousands of troops at that time. ”

Li Guo on the side couldn't help laughing: "Brother Li Yan's words are not right, if you can take these two places, let alone tens of thousands of troops, two or three hundred thousand troops are no problem." ”

Li Yan was not angry when he was interrupted, he just asked lightly: "Brother Li Guo is talking about the kind of army that was defeated by the Jiangning army a few days ago?" ”

Li Guo: "......"
