Liu Heizi came over with great interest, and after seeing the second brother's people, the whole person was immediately depressed. But soon, people who were even more depressed than him followed.

On October 20, it was the day when Zhao Yingyuan and the nine commanders of Guide Mansion agreed to meet the division, and several groups of people from Suixian, Yucheng, Xiayi and other places came one after another.

Chen Baoping led more than 300 people to Chenzhou, and saw that the camp outside the city was spreading, and there were more than 6,000 people and horses set up two camps outside the east city, and he thought it was the men and horses of the mighty general Zhao Yingyuan, so he hurriedly ran over to meet him.

When he arrived outside the camp, he saw two camps facing each other, one with a black flag with a large high character on it, and the other with a red flag embroidered with the character Liu, which made him a little puzzled.

Coincidentally, at this time, Liu Heizi came to Gao Yihuan to pull a relationship, and wanted to get some armor and weapons from Gao Yihuan, after the two discussed, Gao Yihuan sent Liu Heizi out of the camp, and happened to bump into Chen Baoping.

Now the second brother is strong and well-equipped, and the soldiers all have a piece of cotton armor, and he and the three deputy lieutenants have each made a set of iron armor, Liu Heizi is worse, but at least there are three or four hundred armor soldiers, and his own outfit is not bad.

Liu Heizi robbed an official lady, although his clothes and armor are not very good, but people are very particular, it seems that the official lady helped clean up, so it looks more decent and clean.

Chen Baoping in front of the barracks, compared with these two nouveau riche, is undoubtedly a little too shabby.

He probably only had more than 30 armor soldiers, and he only wore a somewhat shabby cotton armor, dressed like a pawn, and the soldiers guarding the camp did treat him as a pawn.

"Whose soldiers are you, the barracks are heavy, and you must not trespass!" In front of the camp gate, a commander wearing cotton armor and an iron helmet on his head pressed his war knife and shouted at Chen Baoping, who was approaching.

"Whose soldiers?" Chen Baoping didn't expect to be regarded as a pawn, he immediately felt a burst of shame, and immediately became angry, "Lao Tzu is the captain who guards Yucheng, and he wants to see General Zhao!" ”

In the camp, Liu Heizi was talking to Gao Yihuan about exchanging charcoal for armor. He suddenly heard the commotion outside the camp, turned his head to look outside the camp gate, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh on his face.

"Isn't this Brother Chen, how did you come to Brother Gao's camp?" Liu Heizi hurriedly walked over. This guy is very snobbish, first look at Chen Baoping, starting from his feet and looking up, a pair of dirty soap boots, with broken cotton armor on his body, and a green cloth full of stains on his head, which is much colder than him.

A dignified lieutenant, mixed into such a frustration, it was simply unsightly, Liu Heizi was a little discouraged, but when he saw Chen Baoping and his group, he suddenly became a little confident.

Chen Baoping heard the voice, turned his head and saw Liu Heizi, he was happy at first, but he saw that Liu Heizi was looking at him with strange eyes, his heart seemed to be pricked, and his face suddenly showed discomfort.

"I'm here to meet General Zhao!" Chen Baoping replied with a cold face, unwilling to say anything more to the two of them.

Although Liu Heizi has regained some confidence in Chen Baoping, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Chen Baoping, and still prefers to be with Gao Yihuan.

Liu Heizi has the shrewdness of a small peasant, he can't get any benefits from Chen Baoping, if he gets closer, maybe he will be eaten by a big family, there is no benefit in mixing with him, it is better to mix with this Gao Yihuan, he can make progress and his strength can go to the next level.

"Oh~" Liu Heizi was a little arrogant, his nostrils were facing Chen Baoping, "Then you are wrong, this is my Gao brother's camp, and General Zhao has not come yet." ”

Chen Baoping was stunned when he heard this, his eyes swept back, and he saw Gao Yihuan wearing iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, two feet of pheasant feathers, wearing a black cloak, and pressing a knife in one hand, and walked over majestically.

"Hahaha~ It's Chen Duwei~" Gao Yihuan saw Chen Baoping, and was walking over with a big smile, ready to say hello.

"Humph!" Chen Baoping saw Gao Yihuan, but suddenly snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Gao Yihuan doesn't think like Liu Heizi, he has many friends and many paths. Although he and Chen Baoping were also a little unhappy, he felt that he could resolve it.

Under the premise that the Qing troops entered the customs, he did not want to make more enemies inside.

"This~" Gao Yihuan walked up, but Chen Baoping threw him a back, asked the second brother to stretch out his hand to say hello, and stopped in mid-air awkwardly.

Liu Heizi spat on the ground and said to the second brother Gao: "Brother Gao, don't pay attention to that pinch of birds." Let's exchange coal for armor, that's it. Lao Tzu immediately asked people to go back and inform the military advisor and ask him to increase mining. ”

Liu Heizi is a small farmer, always wanting to take advantage of the second brother of the high school, and he has a carboniferous mine in his hand and does not think about how to expand production, and thinks about selling it at a high price all day long, but does not want to dig out the mine first.

The second brother wrote to him to expand the scale of mining, but he did not agree, worried that after digging the coal, it would be gone in the future and he would no longer be able to make money.

The second brother of the high school wondered, with his shoulder-to-shoulder productivity, can he finish digging the coal underground? The second brother said it a few times, but Liu Heizi just didn't listen.

In the past, it was the second brother who needed his coal, and the right to speak was in the hands of Liu Heizi, but now Liu Heizi wants the second brother's A, and the pricing power of the transaction is transferred to the second brother.

"Haha~ Brother Liu, don't worry, if you send the coal to Luyi, you will naturally have A for you. We good brothers, can't you still trust me? The second brother withdrew his hand, and while talking to Liu Heizi with a smile, he looked at Chen Baoping who was far away, and said in his heart, since he can't be friends, he can only find a chance to kill the turtle grandson.

At the moment, the second brother Gao and Liu Heizi were in front of the camp gate, separated and returned to the camp.

By the evening, several lieutenants from Guide Mansion had already arrived in Chenzhou, and each of them probably only brought more than 300 people. A few people, like Chen Baoping, mistakenly thought that Gao Yihuan's camp was Zhao Yingyuan's camp, and ran to meet them, and after figuring out that it was Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi's camp, their eyes bulged in shock.

After October 20, two days later, Zhao Yingyuan led 3,000 men and horses to finally appear outside the city of Chenzhou.

After Li Zicheng went out of Luoshanzhong, although the core people were still the Shaanxi Gang, the middle and lower-class people under his command had changed a wave of people, and they were the fierce people of western Henan.

The Qin people are good at fighting, and the fierce people in western Henan are not bad, the people are fierce, and there are thousands of people in Bailang in later generations, and they tossed more than 100,000 people and horses in Yuan Xiangcheng for nearly three years.

The vast majority of the middle and lower classes of the army are from Henan, and in the ancient society with clans and township parties as the link, Li Yan, as the leader of Henan's heroes, naturally has a very high prestige among these Henan troops.

After Li Zicheng irrigated Bianzhou, under pressure from Li Yan, he agreed to Li Yan's political demands, officially proclaimed himself king in Xinzheng, and began to revolutionize the army in advance, ordering the establishment of officials in the occupied areas and prohibiting killing.

Although the policy of forcing the gentry to pay money has not been abolished, at least it is not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately.

The second brother Gao and Liu Heizi have enough money and food, and they have taken the lead in regimeization, and they don't need to rely on looting to maintain their people, but Zhao Yingyuan and the others can't turn a corner for a while.

Zhao Yingyuan said that on October 20, he gathered troops in Chenzhou, and when he set off, he found that the situation was a little different, starting from Shangqiu, along the way was either his own territory, or a ruined land, so that he could not just collect grain, but had to prepare some grain and grass by himself.

Chen Baoping does not have many soldiers, so he can prepare a little casually, and one person can come over with some food, but Zhao Yingyuan has more than 3,000 people, and it is a little difficult to prepare food.

Zhao Yingyuan invited a few rich people in Shangqiu City, ate a board, killed two people, and then scraped together some food and hurried to Chenzhou, and as soon as he delayed, the time arrived on October 22.

After coming to Chenzhou, Zhao Yingyuan saw Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi's people, and thought that Li Zicheng sent troops over, but when he learned that it was Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi, the whole person was immediately not good.

Outside Chenzhou City, inside Zhao Yingyuan's big tent, Gao Yihuan and several other lieutenants strode in. Zhao Yingyuan looked at Gao Yihuan in iron armor, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, a captain, there are more people and horses than him, the tent is bigger than him, and the armor is better than him, where can he put his face? His subordinates are stronger than himself, what else can this leader do?

However, he had already delayed the time, and at this time he didn't have time to understand how Gao Yihuan was big, so he waved his hand to let everyone take their seats, and then even said: "King Chuang is fighting a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting, and we are going to protect King Chuang's flank this time." Now I won't say much, you clean up, and then send troops with me, rush to Yancheng, and block Zuo Liangyu from going north! ”
