"Uncle, those homeless people ran away a few more people in the second half of the night last night, and they were all detained by me."

Early in the morning, Li Zicheng was drinking mush, and Li Guo came in to report to him.

"Didn't anyone see it?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Uncle don't worry, he followed them to a place where no one was around."

"Is your mouth tight? Did you ask anything? Why on earth are they leaving, and where are they going? Li Zicheng asked a few questions in a row.

"These people, how tight their mouths can be, they are tied, and before they use a whip, they say that they are going north, to a place called Zhuolu Mountain, where they are recruiting people in a big way, and they can stutter when they go."

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was a little surprised, this was quite different from what he thought at the beginning, it was not the government that was releasing grain for relief, but a certain heroic recruitment.

Li Zicheng knows the thoughts of the homeless people, first of all, they must have food and be able to live, under this premise, there is no need to kill officials and rebel, then of course it is better, this place called Zhuolu Mountain, if there are no lies, it is naturally better than following them as bandits.

Since it is called "mountain", it will definitely not be in the city, it must be a dock fort, and the reputation has spread here, the scale of their recruitment is definitely not small, this food... It's a lot, and I'm afraid the harvest will be unexpected.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng, who has always been moody, couldn't hold back the heat in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is this Zhuolu Mountain, did they say it?" ”

"I said, but it's not close to here, where is it, I think about it, it seems to be called Baoan Prefecture, it is said that when you get to that neighborhood, there will be people near the official road to receive you." Li Guo replied.

Receptionist? Such a big battle? Could it be that the government, or rather, is it a trap set up by the government that wants to let a group of people drill into it?

Li Zicheng's face changed slightly, and he took out a worn-out map from his arms, which was a treasure he treasured privately when he was a post officer, and it was easy not to let outsiders see it.

After looking for a while, Li Zicheng pointed to the location of Baoanzhou, and his face that had changed slightly just now calmed down.

Judging from the map, Baoan Prefecture is really not close to where they are now, and it has gone out of the territory of western Jinxi, but it is precisely because he is not in western Jinxi that Li Zicheng denied his own opinion just now, this is definitely not a trick of the government, no matter how long the governor of western Jinxi is, he can't reach there, and it is impossible to use troops against them across the border, as for whether it will be a joint attack on them by the two places, Li Zicheng believes that with the current reputation and strength of himself and others, it is impossible to have this treatment.

The distance is not a problem, they have run here from northern Shaanxi, and it is difficult for them to be at such a distance, the problem is that this Baoan Prefecture, where Zhuolu Mountain is located, has a unique location.

If you want to get here, you either go north, go east after passing through the two border towns of Datong and Xuanfu, or go east, pass through Taihang Mountain and then go north.

After entering the Taihang Mountain in the east, it is the Jingshi, Li Zicheng quickly denied this route, the Jingshi is the important place of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a place where they can go now.

Then they could only go north, but the two border towns were lying on the road, which made Li Zicheng a little worried, which was somewhat contrary to the principle that they had first arrived in western Jinxi and decided not to provoke the border towns.

What to do? Do you want to give up?

Thinking that Zhuolu Mountain can recruit people with great fanfare, and I don't know how much grain and grass he has hoarded, Li Zicheng is not very willing, it has been some days since he withdrew from Jizhou, and the information about Wubao nearby is still nothing, instead of sitting in Jinxi, why not take the risk and go north?

Li Zicheng couldn't make up his mind for a while, walked back and forth in the tent, and circled a few times, before he remembered that there was someone in the tent, and asked casually, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

"Uncle, I've already eaten it." Li Guo replied.

Li Zicheng followed the voice and looked at his eldest nephew, suddenly showed joy on the ground, looked himself up and down, and then laughed loudly.

"Why is Uncle excited?" Li Guo was inexplicably puzzled by Li Zicheng's behavior.

"Hahaha..."Li Guo is a relative, of course, he is a confidant, Li Zicheng didn't want to hide him, and said with a smile, "Let's have a place for food." ”

But just now Li Zicheng saw Li Guo and the clothes he was wearing, dirty and shabby, except for armor and blades, how different from refugees, refugees can go to Zhuolu Mountain, can't they go?

As long as he doesn't die and takes the initiative to provoke the border army, who will pay attention to people like them, thinking about it like this, in fact, there is no difference whether he goes north or east, but out of awe of the Jingshi area, Li Zicheng still tends to go north in his heart.

"Really? Brother-in-law. Li Guo was also happy, and he had enough brains, so he immediately asked, "Is this Zhuolu Mountain?" ”

"That's right." Li Zicheng nodded and ordered, "Don't say it yet, I'll find an opportunity to speak to the big leader, as for the few homeless people I caught, I may be useful if I keep their lives first." ”

"Yes, then I'm out."

"Go, go, go." Li Zicheng and Li Guo were both immersed in excitement, and did not notice a corner of the tent, and there was originally a silent shadow outside the tent, which disappeared after shaking a few times.

......

"Brothers, who has the message of Dock Fort?" At night, beside the fire, Wang Jiayin asked a little anxiously.

"Big Boss, I haven't found any useful news."

"Me too, Big Boss."

"Brother Wang, if you are not familiar with the place, I'm afraid it will take a little more time."

The leaders complained, saying that they had not gained much.

Wang Jiayin's face was ugly, "If this continues, even if the imperial court does not send troops and horses to deal with us, I am afraid that we will also be starved to death, everyone has to think of a way, that..."

He was about to ask Li Zicheng if there was a way, the idea of Dock Fort was the one from this kid, but now he didn't get anything, he should be able to deal with it.

"Big Chief, I'll find out a place."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Old Gao," Wang Jiayin saw that it was Gao Yingxiang, "You have good news?" ”

As for Li Zicheng, I'll ask him later.

"It's just a little far, I don't know if the big boss is willing to go?" Gao Yingxiang deliberately sold Guanzi.

Li Zicheng "chuckled" in his heart, a little far? Wouldn't this place where the king is looking be ......

"What's the matter from afar, they've all left their hometowns, it's not all the same everywhere, as long as there is food, let's go, talk quickly." Wang Jiayin urged.

"Then I'll say it," Gao Yingxiang smiled proudly, glancing at Li Zicheng, "This place is called Zhuolu Mountain, which is no longer in the territory of western Jinxi, and it is said that the place where it is located is called Baoan Prefecture, and some people are recruiting refugees on a large scale, so I think they should have a lot of grain and grass." ”
