The early morning mist slowly drifted through the forest, draping the primeval forest in Shangluo Mountain with a light veil. A gust of wind blew, and the light veil swayed gently in the morning breeze.

A burst of smoke and dust mixed in, making the otherwise poetic situation a little smoky.

Chenjiazhai in the originally quiet Shangluo Mountain, now there are still curling gunpowder smoke wafting in the morning breeze, ruins and broken walls, and broken walls, all showing that there has been a big war here.

Yes, there has indeed been a great war here, but the defeat has disappeared from the whole family, but the victor is not happy at all.

Li Zicheng walked between the rubble with one foot and one foot shallow, and the generals who followed were silent, just following.

This battle was won, but the 100,000 army, against more than 1,000 and less than 2,000 Xiangyong, still fought for two hours in the case of a sneak attack, which is definitely a shame for the current Dachuang King Li Zicheng.

Yes, it's a shame, when did your own team become so weak in the face of a thousand and less than two thousand village warriors? Unexpectedly, he let his elite go out and fought for two hours? Could it be that the original strong army that swept the entire western part of Shaanxi was really weak to such a field?

Li Zicheng, who was silent, walked among the rubble, and there was a kind of discouragement and disappointment in his heart, thinking about such a fortress, if Lu Shi attacked, what would be the situation?

I know that when the Cao family collected the achievements of Lu Shi, the Cao family was a big family for 500 years, and the fortress was so strong that the general county town was incomparable, and the children of the township and relatives there reached 5,000, what was the result?

It's simple, it's very simple, it's just a branch team of Lu Shi, it was broken in just two hours, and the clan was wiped out in less than three hours.

Lu Shi's record is compared with his current self, and now, Li Zicheng has a feeling of crying, to be precise, he is really disheartened and very depressed.

The current Chenjiazhai, due to desperate resistance, has been burned into a blank land by the angry rebels, originally Li Zicheng wanted to use Chenjiazhai as a basis, now it seems that there is no need, the broken fortress has no value of reuse, now, can only go, to the place where there is no destination.

"Jianxiu, how much food did we get this time?" Walking in the rubble village, Li Zicheng, who was annoyed by one or two screams and women's cries from time to time, asked Tian Jianxiu, who was following behind.

"King Qiqi Da Chuang, this time we captured Chenjiazhai quite quickly, therefore, we haven't given that old wealth a chance to burn his own grain, so we have 30,000 stone of food. As for the gold and silver cloth-" Tian Jianxiu groaned slightly, looking at the dull Li Zicheng, but it was hard to say anything.

"Thirty thousand stones, that's good." Li Zicheng said with his hands behind his back in admiration, as for the gold and silver cloth, Li Zicheng didn't want to pursue it anymore, in fact, the century-old foundation, there are 30,000 stone of grain, and the gold and silver cloth will be more.

However, there are many things that cannot be more true, or else, the military spirit will really be scattered.

30,000 stone of grain is already an unexpected joy for Li Zicheng, which once again made him, who was a little discouraged and disappointed, raise a little confidence again, which at least allows the 100,000 poles that follow him, if you are careful, to be able to eat half of it. If one or two more fortresses are taken during this period, then he can take these people to hide in this million mountains, recuperate, and then kill Shangluo Mountain in the spring, and fight with the officials and soldiers, and - yes, and Lu Shi.

Seeing that Li Zicheng didn't ask anything else, Tian Jianxiu didn't say anything more, so he said to Li Zicheng: "King Da Chuang, what should we do next?" “

Before Li Zicheng could say anything, a hearty laugh sounded not far away, needless to say, it was Liu Zhongmin, the chief whistle.

"Happy, happy." From afar, Liu Zhongmin shouted loudly.

Li Zicheng immediately asked with a smile on his face: "What, what's the joy of my general outpost?" ”

"Zicheng, just now my big knife cut off fifty heads, so that the old guy who gritted his teeth and didn't tell the cellar said his furniture, guess how much?"

Of course, Li Zicheng knew that whenever Liu Zhongmin went everywhere and every time he won, what he was most willing to do was to torture the local gentry, and under the torture of his tricks, there was no one who survived. This time, I don't know what to gain.

"How? Any surprises? Li Zicheng's eyes also began to brighten, although he plundered in Shanxi and gained countless gains, plus the battle in Jixian, he also won countless gold and silver, including Gao Yingxiang, but who dislikes more silver? As long as you accumulate enough money, grain and grass in your own hands, then you will have the capital to dominate the world and fight back to Shaanxi.

"Hahaha, self-contained, I just lit the sky lantern for the daughter of the so-called gentry, and the kid immediately said that he had his cellar, guess how much?"

Li Zicheng didn't ask, knowing that Liu Zhongmin would not hide himself, so he waited for his next step.

"Fifteen thousand taels of silver, and more than a hundred pieces of gold, let's see, are we making a fortune again?"

This figure is indeed exciting, if you add the seizure of the Chen family's old house, then it is more than 100,000 silver coins, which is indeed the capital of your future capital. So, Li Zicheng took a big step forward and gave Liu Zhongmin a punch: "Okay, just do it, as long as we seize enough gold and silver, then we will have the capital to gain a foothold in Shangluo Mountain."

"Hahaha, King Da Chuang, I'll do something, don't worry, I not only obtained countless gold, silver, grain and grass for the army, but also got enough human flesh essence for our war horses, killing two birds with one stone, it is really killing two birds with one stone."

When Tian Jianxiu heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Master Liu, we are a righteous army, so don't kill too much, that will be bad for our reputation." ”

What Liu Zhongmin hates the most is Tian Jianxiu, who is sour and rotten, which can make people lose their teeth. The second one who can't look down on is Mrs. Gao, now, he relies on the brother of Gao Yingxiang, the former king of Dachuang who just defected, and he can already ignore his own general outpost, which is unbearable, although Mrs. Gao herself does not dare to offend, but it is okay to sneer at this blindless Tian Jianxiu.

"Rebels? The rebels need the support of the people more, but those Diao people feel that they are resisting us, and I don't kill him to make an example. Squinting his eyes, he said: "I did this, not only to get the gold and silver hidden by those pickled things, but also to supplement our strength, if General Tian went to enlighten those Diao people?" Hum. ”

Seeing that the two henchmen were about to quarrel again, Li Zicheng quickly changed the topic: "Jiexuan, how is the army reorganized?" ”

Seeing Li Zicheng ask, Liu Zhongmin put down Tian Jianxiu, turned his head and said: "The front army has been reorganized, and they have also eaten a good meal, as long as they give an order, they can set off." ”

Li Zicheng nodded, and asked again, "How is the morale of the army?" ”

Liu Zhongmin snorted and said proudly: "The morale of the army has been restored, and there is more support for food, which is better than before, and now if you encounter the fortress again, you will definitely go down in one go." ”

"Okay, tell everyone, hold on a little longer, go to the depths of the mountains, and then we will start to rest, and our good days will come soon."

"Yes." Liu Zhongmin agreed loudly, and then turned around and ordered the personal soldiers who followed to spread the good news of King Dachuang to all the soldiers. For the imminent stability, everyone was full of desire and cheered, which also saw what the army wanted.

It has entered the New Year, deep in the mountains of Shangluo Mountain, a huge empty valley, now it has been filled with countless tents, ground nests, garbage and feces on the ground, there are constantly groups of poles, holding knives and guns shouted by the small leader, rushing out, occasionally there are two cavalry heralds beating horses and galloping among them, for a time the screams of drinking continue to sound, people shouting and neighing into a mess, mixed with the crying of children, the call of women, it is simply a mess.

Not far from here, there is a small valley, leeward to the sun, more than a dozen big tents stand here quietly, a tent in the middle of the stars and moons, is now the big tent of the Chinese army of Li Zicheng, the king of Da Chuang, and now, the tent is full of guards inside and outside. Li Zicheng, dressed in a cotton robe, stood at the door of the big tent, watching his own army training in the valley with his hands behind his back.

Outside the tent, in the huge valley floor, there were groups of ragged poles, lined up with cherry spears, walking sideways with the trumpet of the little leader. This is carried out in accordance with the legendary Lu Shi's method of training soldiers, although he doesn't understand why Lu Shi has nothing to do all day long and let him be a soldier walking in the horizontal column and shouting slogans, but since he Lu Shi has trained a strong army through this, he will definitely be able to think about it.

A column of horizontal teams led by the little leader walked to the edge of the field, and a few steps further out of the training ground, and across the edge of the field was a river, the river was very wide, and it was also very fast, and it was not completely frozen in this winter, and there was a black river flowing in the shiny ice field, and if we went any further, everyone would have to go down the river. So, at this time, including the little leader, stood by the river and began to talk to each other, and then the people began to turn around and prepare to go back, but the big leader in charge of today's training did not give the order to stop.

At this time, the big leader rushed up, waved his whip and beat the heads and faces of those who turned around, and the beaten people also tied their necks and theorized with the leader, so that the original train poles ran over in a row, surrounded the scene, and from time to time there were bursts of laughter.

Li Zicheng, who was standing at the door of the big tent, saw this kind of scene, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, although he was implementing Lu Shi's method of training troops, no matter how he tried it, he couldn't get Lu Shi's army, what was the mistake? What do you lack?
