After getting in touch with "Bingzhu" Zhu Dazhuang, "A Rat" Peng Zhihai put on a sense of joy in front of everyone who met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, and placed him in his thousand-person team without obtrusion, and chose to be his personal guard.

Peng Zhihai's subordinates have no opinion on this arrangement, and they have no suspicions at all, Zhu Dazhuang is burly and majestic, which is not the same as the ordinary people who are coerced, and he is Peng Zhihai's little fellow countryman, and it is also common sense that he was promoted when he first arrived.

Peng Zhihai received an order from home, and his usual actions did not seem to be much different from usual, and he still fought with his henchman Hu Tianhai every day, or took his brothers to fight with other gangs, and had trouble with the management of military rations.

But if you look closely, you can still see that Peng Zhihai's whereabouts are a little strange, that is, his daily whereabouts are gradually approaching the landlord's old mansion where Li Zicheng is located.

Perhaps due to the influence of several previous assassinations, the defense of Li Zicheng's garrison has become more and more stringent, and there are five big and three thick warriors everywhere inside and outside the landlord's house, and it is still very difficult for middle-level personnel like Peng Zhihai to get close to his home.

Peng Zhihai was able to climb to the position of the current commander of Qianqian because he showed a certain military ability, but he was still a little short of merit and relationship when he was familiar with the leader Li Zicheng.

The disadvantage of the peasant army is that most of their core systems are first-class township parties, and other capable people want to be incorporated into their core system, and what they can simply do from time to time is like Zhu Dazhuang being inserted into the personal guard by Peng Zhihai with the dry work of his fellow villagers, which has become something that everyone is accustomed to.

And Li Zicheng's core class also has such a problem, several generals under him, and from time to time his relatives and brothers, are first-class rangers who fight with him in the countryside on weekdays.

Therefore, although Peng Zhihai is considered a talent in the peasant army, first, he has a very shallow foundation in the peasant army, and he did not expect a strong network and prestige, and second, he is not Li Zicheng's fellow township party, and he cannot be trusted by them, and it is already good to be able to maintain his status now.

Li Zicheng is a person, through the analysis of the intelligence that Peng Zhihai has secretly collected in recent years, is a person who dares to fight on the battlefield, but is mostly tyrannical and bloodthirsty on weekdays, and he has heard a lot of things about robbing people's daughters and indiscriminately killing innocents.

And in his usual life and actions, he is a person who is coarse and detailed, and his mind is extremely sensitive, and the previous assassinations against him are considered ordinary when they are seen by other leaders, and people like them have countless innocent blood in their hands, and they are the troubles of the court's henchmen, so naturally there are those who think they are chivalrous, or those who want to get ahead and become famous in the world, secretly have some actions.

However, Li Zicheng felt a different atmosphere from these successive assassination operations, and immediately strengthened his own defense work, and at the same time strictly screened and served his maids, which made it extremely difficult to easily break into his life circle in the previous few times.

At this time, Peng Zhihai still has a problem, that is, there is really not much power available in his hands, Gui Weiqian seems to have more than a thousand henchmen in his hands, but the people who can really die for him are actually just a few people.

These people are all brave men who Peng Zhihai saved in life-and-death battles after he entered the peasant army, and then he deliberately encircled him, so he can be regarded as a person who is desperate and loyal to him.

However, Peng Zhihai didn't dare to tell these henchmen about such a big thing as the assassination of Li Zicheng, because he was really not sure if these henchmen were really as babbling as they said on weekdays, and they were loyal to him.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, no matter how much they swear to themselves before, or take and ask for themselves on weekdays, but they can't resist the temptation of interests, as well as the interests and disadvantages of this kind of big thing.

However, the opportunity came so unexpectedly, and during the seemingly leisurely stroll for five days, Peng Zhihai obtained information by bribing a member of Li Zicheng's family, saying that Li Zicheng would return to the city tomorrow to meet a messenger sent by his uncle, which was a rare opportunity.

Li Zicheng's uncle is the one who is now making more and more trouble in the peasant rebellion army, and there is faintly Gao Yingxiang, the king who commands the peasant rebellion armies of all parties.

It is also because of Gao Yingxiang's existence and his own ability that Li Zicheng can now become one of the thirty-six battalions under Gao Yingxiang and the general of the eighth team. is also because Gao Yingxiang called himself the king, Li Zicheng, as his biological nephew, can also call himself a general to echo his uncle.

Gao Yingxiang was in the north at this time, so it was easy to judge that the messenger he sent to contact Li Zicheng came to Songjiagou, and there was only one avenue running from east to west, and according to the information sent by the foreign guards through Zhu Dazhuang, the position of the forces controlled by Gao Yingxiang was more eastern, so Peng Zhihai concluded that the other party was most likely to enter the village in the east.

As a professional military combatant, when he was based in the local area, Peng Zhihai had already quietly and carefully reconnoitred the terrain around Songjiagou, where it was suitable for escaping and where it was suitable for ambush, he had already known in his heart.

On the eastern avenue, on both sides are the land carved out by the local villagers, and the only terrain that can be used is a small hill with rocky rocks and bushes in the northeast, from which you can condescendingly observe the movement of people entering and leaving Songjiagou, and it is also easy to hide your body.

Therefore, Li Zicheng arranged five groups of secret sentinels on this small hill, each of which was accompanied by two or two, in order to guard against possible sneak attacks by the government and pay attention to the surrounding trends.

In Songjiagou, most of the artificial buildings such as houses are brick houses, low and not easy to hide, and there are tens of thousands of people in the village to live in it, if you secretly assassinate Li Zicheng, if you want to get out, it is a difficult problem, and it is easy for people to focus their suspicions on their own army, and they may expose their existence if they investigate layer by layer.

Therefore, after thinking about it in many ways, Peng Zhihai still decided to take a go outside the village to see if he could assassinate Li Zicheng.

The reason why it is so urgent is because Peng Zhihai has just received an order that their teams will break away from Li Zicheng's headquarters and operate around Pingding County, while Li Zicheng will lead a large army to sweep and expand his own strength in the surrounding counties of Pingding.

Therefore, without knowing when Li Zicheng would join his side in the future, if he wanted to complete the task arranged by his family, Peng Zhihai could only seize the opportunity to try it and see if he could achieve the task at home.
