In Longxian County, Shaanxi, Li Zicheng's department has been active in the border of Shaanxi since Chongzhen entered Shaanxi from the border of Sichuan in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

Yang Sichang, a scholar, was recalled by the Beijing Division because he had spent a lot of money and extensively suppressed the peasant army, but he did not get the rewards he deserved, and he did not see tangible results.

Although the general Zuo Liangyu finally defeated Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters, they were not able to capture any of the rebel generals, and their results were not enough to convince the important ministers of the imperial court, so they were impeached by the imperial history, and then returned to Beijing to report on their work and explain.

Without Yang Sichang's command, Zhang Xianzhong, who had just been suppressed, suddenly became arrogant again, and even Li Zi's subordinates, who let him enter Sichuan, have the opportunity to enrich his strength.

However, Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk nominally obeyed Li Zicheng's orders, but in fact, they still did their own things with each other, Li Zicheng suddenly broke into his own territory, Zhang Xianzhong did not say anything on the surface, but he was still very resistant inside, and his soldiers made it difficult for Li Zicheng.

In the face of this situation, Li Zicheng's confidant Li Xin finally proposed to take a step back, so Li Zicheng turned back to Shaanxi for development, which can be regarded as a great joy.

The county seat of Longxian County has now become a place for Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, to rest and deliberate, and Li Zicheng's henchmen and generals such as Li Xin and He Sanjiang have surrounded Li Zicheng's residence so that they can contact Li Zicheng at any time.

It has been more than a year since the last time it was defeated by Hongtang's army, and at this time, Li Zicheng has once again recovered to its original strength, and it can even be said that it has grown.

This is the biggest advantage of being a good army, their personnel replenishment is too easy, in this kind of war, the life of the people is too hard, there is no way to want to live The overall choice of the people is never much, plus the slogan of Li Zicheng and others, it is more attractive for the people, so every time they go, there are always people and villagers to vote collectively, and it is difficult to increase the strength of the team.

It's just that compared to before, the strength of this team is probably still a little inferior, like the original 5,000 cavalry of He Sanjiang's department, since the previous war lost nearly 2,000 to now, it has not been fully replenished, only about 4,000 scale.

He Sanjiang's residence was originally the mansion of a large family, but it was enough to live in the big mansion of Sanjin, He Sanjiang and the concubines he plundered, as well as the guards around him.

At this time, in He Sanjiang's residence, Bai Yushan and a young man with a very bright face sat together, staring at each other in a deep voice.

"Two seniors, the family sent me this time, but now the wind direction has changed, and the family asked me to assist the two seniors to work hard to develop!"

The face of the face was straight to the point, and he said his intentions straight to the point, originally according to the rules of the spy war station, the connection between the secret spies should not be so imprudent, in He Sanjiang's memory and learning, there has never been such a way to meet, so the two of them felt very uncomfortable in the face of this person who came up with the correct docking method and contacted the spy who contacted him.

This is the base camp of the thieves, and if they are not careful, they may be separated and become a cold corpse, especially after Peng Zhihai and others, who were quite trusted by the thieves last time, suddenly rebelled and finally were defeated by the Ming army.

"Is something going on at home?"

He Sanjiang's face changed slightly, and he asked with concern.

"Not really, but there are changes in the family for our next arrangements."

The newcomer who had just arrived from Keelung Town, Dayuan Island, replied calmly, and slowly expressed his intention: "From today onwards, in the next three or four months, the family will successively arrange a group of outstanding team members with a number of about 100 people to come over, and ask the two seniors to prepare to settle them." ”

"And I came to hand over to the two seniors this time, just to lay a good precursor for their arrival, as an intermediary between them and the two seniors!"

"Oh, that's good!"

He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan were overjoyed and couldn't help but exclaim.

After the admiration, He Sanjiang was a little puzzled: "Why did the family suddenly arrange so many brothers to come over, this is ......?"

"The family thinks that from now on, there is no need for you to be obscure, our next task is to work hard to expand the strength in our hands, if there is a chance to wait, the family also hopes that the two seniors can be like Zhang Xianzhong and others, independent of King Li Zicheng, and have their own territorial strength."

Although the newcomer's face was tender, the content of what he said made He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan change color again and again, and the two stared at the person in front of them uncertainly, thinking about the possibility behind the other party's words.

"Are you ready to do something to King Chuang?"

Bai Yushan asked meaningfully.

"As far as I know, no, at least in the short term, there is still no intention in the family to make a move against King Chuang's faction."

The liaison officer who came from afar directly denied Bai Yushan's question, and said succinctly: "But there is hope in the family, our current strength will at least double and follow the actions of the family at any time." ”

"What do we need to do?"

He Sanjiang didn't say anything more, but began to ask about what he needed to do.

"The new team members will be recruited within four months, and I will give the two seniors a list at that time, and what the two seniors need to do is to absorb them into the army of the two of you without a trace, and promote them to at least the position of the general within half a year."

"Don't worry, the team members who came back this time are all outstanding soldiers who graduated from the military subjects of Bengang Academy, not only are they superior in terms of technology and tactics, but they are also no worse than the leaders of the peasant army in training soldiers and commanding battles except for being immature."

"Moreover, this group of soldiers have also studied in the spy war center and know how to hide their identities, plus the identities prepared for them at home in the past few months, it is generally impossible for people to detect them."

"Understood, then I'll start arranging it when I go back!"

He Sanjiang and Bai Yushan nodded again and again, and replied without any hesitation.

"By the way, the two seniors don't have to worry about the problem of grain and grass crisis, when they came to hand over to the two of them this time, the family gave me a map, which shows the hiding locations of a total of two granaries, 'When there is a real food shortage, we can get grain and grass supplies from it.'"

It was another great news that came to He Sanjiang's ears, which flattered him, and at the same time felt that the meaning behind this matter was far-reaching.
