Since Peng Zhihai failed to assassinate Li Zicheng last time, he was used as cannon fodder, and with his peasant team of more than 1,000 people, he went to expand the territory for Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's assassination, as time went by, because the culprit could not be caught, in order to calm Li Zicheng's anger, but also to have an explanation, the henchmen under the general wantonly hunted down and killed a group of wandering mobs, which can be regarded as the end of this assassination.

No one knew that the protagonists of the real assassination had already been sent to Linshui County, Shanxi Province to open up the territory by Li Zicheng's password.

It is unknown how Li Zicheng's injury ended up, but Peng Zhihai was really a blessing in disguise, after being dominated by Li Zicheng to Linxian, without the tie-down relationship of many superiors, he was able to give full play to the various military knowledge he learned in Hongmen, and gradually expanded his strength.

During this period, Zhu Dazhuang, the "Bingzhu", communicated with the Hongmen headquarters and provided it with a steady stream of information, so that he could save the day again and again in the encirclement and interception of the government, and finally entered Henan and settled in the Luanchuan area.

"General, there is a camel team passing by at the foot of the mountain, are you sending someone to fight the autumn wind?"

Zhao Shize is a powerful general under Peng Zhihai, who has fought side by side with Peng Zhihai for many years, and has blocked the bows and arrows of officers and soldiers for each other several times, which can be said to be a fateful friendship.

In the Funiu Mountain, Peng Zhihai and his group set up camp here for a while, and as the grain and grass carried by the camp gradually dried up, the soldiers in the camp began to be a little restless.

Finally got rid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and stopped in the Luanchuan area with complex terrain, Peng Zhihai did not want to be targeted by the government again.

At the beginning of his heyday, Peng Zhihai was coerced by nearly 10,000 people, and at that time, his henchmen swelled one after another, not only directly calling Peng Zhihai a general, but also each of them named a guerrilla and gave him a title.

The good times did not last long, the larger the team, the easier it was to be discovered by the government's army, and the generals such as Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao of the Ming Dynasty naturally would not let such a large peasant team beat under their noses, and finally set up an ambush in the place where Peng Zhihai must pass, and Peng Zhihai's team was beaten to pieces under the First World War.

The team that was finally put together was reduced to nothing under this battle, and even Peng Zhihai was under the desperate protection of Zhu Dazhuang, Zhao Shize and other henchmen, so he broke out of the encirclement, and no longer dared to stay in Shanxi and escaped south.

By the time they finally arrived in Luanchuan, Peng Zhihai and their original team of more than 10,000 people could finally follow the left and right, but there were no more than 1,000 people, and they were no longer as strong as they were at the beginning.

"Don't worry, our grain and grass can last for a while, but we can't disturb the officers and soldiers in Luanchuan County!"

Peng Zhihai shook his head, pondering over a map that had been robbed from an unknown government.

"General!"

Zhao Shize was a little impatient, and said anxiously in front of several other brothers in the camp: "We have been here in Luanchuan for more than half a year, but you have not done anything at all, this is not the big brother I knew at the beginning!" ”

What Zhao Shize felt in his heart, and how Peng Zhihai didn't know, but he also knew that the situation in the place where they were staying now was delicate, and as the gateway to Luoyang, the important land in Henan, there were not a few local officers and soldiers in Luanchuan County, just to guard against the peasant riots in the neighboring Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Half a year of recuperation and recuperation made Peng Zhihai's team gradually become more vibrant, and the original team of more than 1,000 people has grown to more than 3,000 again.

Such a team seems to have a lot of people, but among the 36 battalions of King Gao Yingxiang, it is not worth mentioning at all, let alone other teams in the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps, if it was a surprise attack on Luanchuan County at this time, he Peng Zhihai would not have no chance if he had calculated unintentionally, but then what they had to face was to ensure that Luoyang was not lost, and the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who surrounded him from all directions were surrounded.

When the time comes, not to mention that he Peng Zhihai has a team of 3,000 people, even if he gives him a peasant team of 30,000 people, I am afraid that he will not escape the fate of being strangled by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he Peng Zhihai had other tasks, Zhu Dazhuang served as the liaison between the Hongmen base camp and him, and after the assassination of Li Zicheng failed, Hongmen had no other arrangements except to provide him with a steady stream of official information.

It wasn't until the end of last year that Zhu Dazhuang once again received an order from the Hongmen base camp to lurk in the Henan territory and quietly expand the team.

The defeat of the previous team, although Peng Zhihai's team suffered heavy losses, but it was also a good opportunity for the team to save the essence, Peng Zhihai's team looked huge at the time, but in fact, most of the team members were desperate homeless, or people who were coerced by the stormed city.

Such a soldier can't even understand at least wielding a knife and a gun, what combat effectiveness do you expect him to have!

If you want such a team to really have a certain combat effectiveness, you have to let this group of cannon fodder experience the taste of war by yourself in one battle after another, and finally the soldiers who survived several or dozens of battles will become a qualified soldier.

Anyway, there are countless cannon fodder like this, as long as you break through a city, you can replenish as much as you want, and it is worth the sacrifice.

However, Peng Zhihai should not have had time to pull the team out, and carefully confronted the officers and soldiers a few times, but he was ambushed by the officers and soldiers, and finally the army was defeated like a mountain.

After arriving at Luanchuan's side, Peng Zhihai's side had enough time to rebuild the team, and Binhai began to train his team hand-in-hand.

Now that the base camp has allowed himself to take root in Henan, Peng Zhihai will also have enough time to train his soldiers with the training methods he learned from Hongmen, and he will no longer have to eliminate soldiers as savagely and ruthlessly as before.

At the same time, on Funiu Mountain, while Peng Zhihai was training his team, he began to shelter the people and displaced people who had fled from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and organized them to open up wasteland around Funiu Mountain and carry out various productions in order to be self-sufficient.

With the sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops transported from Hongmen, Peng Zhihai miraculously built a wilderness cottage with a scale of 10,000 people in Funiu Mountain in the past six months.

Zhao Shize's complaints and impatience stemmed from Peng Zhihai's current approach, which made him not feel like a riot team that was committing rebellion, but more like a green forest hero who fell into the grass and occupied the mountain.
