More than 80 miles south of Kaifeng, Chen Liucheng, the place where the hero Cao Cao raised his troops, has been occupied by another hero, Li Zicheng.

Chen Liucheng is not big, and at this time, Li Zicheng's army has reached more than 400,000, and the entire Chen Liucheng cannot be stationed at all, so Li Zicheng only brought more than 50,000 elites under his command into the city, and the rest of the horses were led by the generals Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu and the generals Li Guo and Li Yan, respectively, and were stationed around Chen Liucheng.

This time, he was in a hurry, and the army expanded too quickly, so his army was very miscellaneous and chaotic, and there was not even a unified military uniform, and the military tents were even more scarce, so the military camps around Chen Liucheng were not as neat as the military camps of the Ming army, but a bit like a refugee camp where displaced people gathered, and there were all kinds of "military tents" in it, some were sewn up with rags, some were built with old door panels, and some were even a shelf under a broken quilt, and the light could block the sun, anyway, it was dry and rainless at this timeYou don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain when you lie inside.

At about the time of the day, in the camp of Li Yan, the general of the northern part of the city, tens of thousands of "soldiers" of the peasant army were gathering together in a chaotic manner to happily bury the pot and make rice, but their commander Li Yan sat in his handsome tent with deep brows, looking very unhappy.

He went to King Chuang again today, in order to ask King Chuang to get some grain out to help the hungry people around him, but King Chuang once again refused his request on the grounds of food shortage.

He knew very well that the food of the righteous army was not tight, they almost robbed the local tyrants and squires and royal clansmen in Kaifeng, Nanyang, Runing, and Guide, and the food was very sufficient, and several nearby cities were full of grain, and more than 400,000 troops could not eat it all in a year.

However, at this time, King Chuang seems to have changed, he has become less and less concerned about the common people, in the past, if he grabbed four or five million stone grain, even one million stone or even two million stone to help the hungry, he would not frown, but now, he repeatedly refused when he begged him to come out of 100,000 stone, and he also showed obvious dissatisfaction with himself, which made him really feel bad in his heart.

He did not join the rebel army for the sake of glory and wealth, because his family itself was one of the top squires and wealthy people in Qi County, and he was not the kind of person who pursued luxury, and the family's money was enough for him to live a carefree life for a lifetime.

He didn't join the righteous army for fame and fortune, because his father Li Jingbai was the governor of Shandong and the rank of secretary of the military department, and he was raised in high school before he was twenty years old.

The reason why he joined the rebel army was to save the poor people, those who were displaced and could starve to death at any time.

He originally thought that Li Zicheng was also from a poor public background and should care for the people, but he never thought that Li Zicheng would start to break away from the people as soon as he had a little power, and regarded himself as a high-ranking ruler, and he didn't care about the life and death of the people at all!

Alas, the current King Chuang is no longer the King Chuang who can accept people's kind words.

He was sighing there, when a young man in his twenties suddenly ran into the handsome tent and said happily: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, it's time to eat, I went down to the river to fish today, and I found a big fish, which is more than a foot long and weighs several pounds." ”

This is his cousin Li Nian, who has played with him since he was a child, so there are no rules in front of him.

He didn't care much about this, but he really didn't have an appetite at this moment, and he said with a sad face: "I don't have an appetite at this time, I don't want to eat, or you can take it and distribute it to those hungry people outside the camp." ”

Seeing him like this, Li Nian couldn't help but be concerned: "What's the matter, Brother Yan?" ”

Li Yan shook his head and sighed: "I told you that you don't understand, you go out first, I want to be alone." ”

"Oh." When Li Nian heard this, he really retreated honestly.

This guy, did he change sex, when did he become so obedient?

Li Yan was looking at the door of the tent in a daze, the kid actually opened the door curtain and came in, and there were several guards behind him, some of those guards were holding pots, some were carrying braziers, some were carrying shelves, and some were holding wine jars, just like those who held banquets.

Li Nian instructed them to put things in the middle of the tent, and asked them to move the small table and bench on the side, and then waved them back, and poured two large bowls of wine with his own hands, and then said with a dead face: "Brother Yan, I got the altar of aged Fen wine today before I went down to the river to touch the fish, and I was thinking of looking for you to drink at night, just right, you are in a bad mood, come, drink two bowls, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows." ”

Li Yan shook his head helplessly and got up, came to him, sat down, picked up a bowl of wine, and was bored in one sip.

Seeing this, Li Nian hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and sandwiched a large piece of fish roe, then handed it to him, and said with concern: "Brother Yan, you drink slowly, be careful of choking." ”

He seemed to care about Li Yan very much, but as soon as Li Yan put down the bowl, he actually filled it again, and there was still a little cunning in his eyes.

Obviously, he wanted to get drunk Li Yan!

Where did Li Yan think that his cousin would pit him, he really wanted to get himself drunk at this time, only when he was drunk, he could forget those troubles.

This one wants to get the other drunk, and the other wants to get himself drunk, and the two have a tacit understanding when they cooperate.

Li Nian poured wine and fish for Li Yan vigorously, Li Yan did not refuse to come, poured it into his mouth vigorously, stuffed it into his mouth, and soon, he drank dizzy, and the world was spinning.

At this time, he was actually drunk, but the stamina hadn't come up yet, he hadn't lost consciousness yet, and he still shouted at Li Nian to pour wine, but at this time Li Nian didn't pour it for him, but instead scooped him a bowl of fish soup.

Li Nian wanted to get him drunk, but he didn't want to kill him, it was almost enough to drink like this, and if he drank it violently, something would have to happen.

This old drunk is indeed very strong, and soon, Li Yan lost consciousness in a daze, fortunately, he is not the kind of person who makes a lot of noise when he is drunk, he just fell asleep on the table!

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan." , Li Nian called a few times, and pushed Li Yan a few times, seeing that Li Yan didn't react, he actually stood up and ran out as soon as he slipped away.

However, soon he came in with a team of cronies, who were not Li Yan's cronies but his own.

A bunch of people were busy in the handsome tent for a while, cleaned up the pots and pans, tables and chairs, and put on Li Yan's tattered clothes, and then lifted them all up with the pots and bowls and wine jars and Li Yan!

At this time, the official army seemed to be coming, but they had been staying in Zhongmu, which was more than 100 miles away, so the garrison of the camp of the righteous army was not very tight, plus Li Nian was Li Yan's cousin, no one would doubt him, and no one could see what they were carrying in the night, they actually carried Li Yan out of the tent, out of the camp, and walked all the way to the northwest!
