"Yellow Tiger, Chuang General, two brothers, come, cheers!"

Luo Rucai held up a small bowl of broken porcelain, the wine in it was cloudy and a little yellow.

Huang Hu Zhang Xianzhong smacked his lips, "Fuck it, this wine is sour and light, and I have no appetite." ”

"Although the wine is not delicious, our brotherhood is here, come, two brothers, I will do it first as a respect!" Li Zicheng raised the wine bowl in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother Chuang's words are good, the wine is not good, the love is there, haha, I love to hear it." Luo Rucai also drank the wine and lit up the bottom of the bowl.

Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to dry the wine, "Two brothers, I thought that Jinxi would be richer, but I didn't expect it to be much better than our northern Shaanxi, the three counties that were beaten down, there were no goods in the treasury, there were few rich households, and there was not much food, even the wine was also such a good, how is it good?" ”

"Alas..."Luo Rucai was also a little worried, "The eating and drinking of the old camp people can't be short, but we can't go too far with the homeless people, if they don't have something to eat for them to coax their stomachs, these people are afraid that they will backfire on me." ”

Bandits from all walks of life in northern Shaanxi, at the end of March of the third year of Chongzhen, under the leadership of the big leader Wang Jiayin, crossed the Yellow River from Shenmu to Baodezhou in western Shanxi, and then adopted Li Zicheng's suggestion, all the way to the east, and moved between the border town and the capital Jinyang.

When he first arrived in Jinxi, he took advantage of the fact that the local government was not guarded, and used the method of going undercover in advance to go down to three county towns in a row, and the entire Jinxi was greatly shaken.

Governor Geng Ruqi and the general soldier Zhang Honggong had just returned from King Qin, the capital division, and they encountered such an incident, and they were also anxious.

It's just that although the bandits have conquered three county towns and made a big noise, they have not reaped much benefit, and they have barely replenished a little food in these three county towns, which is far from enough compared with the needs of the whole army.

"The two brothers don't have to worry, I heard that the big leader has decided that he will attack Jizhou in the near future." Li Zicheng said with relief.

"Oh?" Zhang Xianzhong was excited, "Has the big leader finally decided to do a big deal?" ”

These days, sometimes hiding in Tibet, sometimes pretending to attack a certain county town, has already suffocated him.

"It's... Will it work? Luo Rucai was a little worried, "We haven't built a city for a while, this is still a state city, can we bite it?" ”

Since the vigilance has been strengthened in various parts of western Jin, no matter how difficult it is for them to use it, they have returned from several county towns in a row, the city walls of the state city are higher, and there are more soldiers, so it is no wonder that Luo Ru has doubts.

"I guess it's no problem, the location of our activities during this period of time is far from Jizhou, it should be the big leader's plan to attack the west, and the details must have been sent early, and when the time comes, there is no reason why I can't take it, although Jizhou is a state, it is not much bigger than the county seat." Li Zicheng explained.

Luo Rucai didn't speak, he was nicknamed "Cao Cao", and he was suspicious by nature, and Li Zicheng's explanation did not dispel his doubts.

"Tsk," Zhang Xianzhong began to think, "Zhou City, how much grain is in the treasury, how many rich families will there be in the city, if you take it, our food will not have to worry for a long time." ”

"Drink and drink." Luo Rucai didn't think about it anymore, the sky fell and he was tall, and when the time came, he would act when he saw the opportunity, but he couldn't let his elite be damaged in the siege.

Three days later.

Wang Jiayin and a group of leaders sat on top of the Jizhou Prefecture with ugly faces.

The previous plan to attack the east and the west was indeed good, and it successfully confused the officers and soldiers of Jizhou, and the detailed work also lived up to expectations, and Jizhou was successfully taken by them.

It's just that the money and grain in the treasury are far from their expectations, and they are about the same as the three county towns in front, and the rich families have fled with a few left, and the harvest of this trip can only be said to be better than nothing.

History has changed slightly, the governor Geng Ruqi and the chief soldier Zhang Honggong, before was not imprisoned by Chongzhen because of the mutiny of King Qin's soldiers and horses, and the west of Jin was not like the original, during this period of time because the court did not appoint a new governor and the general army, and was in a state of leaderlessness, the bandits who fled to the west of Jin did not grow rapidly.

In addition to strengthening preparations for war, Governor Geng also ordered the counties, prefectures, and governments to transport half of the money and grain from the treasury to the capital Jinyang for storage.

In this way, even if some states and counties occasionally fall, they will not let the materials fall into the hands of thieves, and boost their strength in vain.

"Big boss, how can you appease the homeless people with such a harvest?" Wang Er asked with a worried face.

Wang Jiayin's face was gloomy, he didn't speak, and he didn't know what to do now.

Since there is not enough food, the easiest way is to abandon the homeless people who are coerced and take the old camp to break through, but if there is no such cannon fodder to boost the prestige, with the men and horses of the old battalion of each leader, how can they attack the city and plunder the land, and find a place to be a bandit.

"Big leader, or..."Zhang Xianzhong said with a gloomy expression, "... Kill the most noisy of the homeless? ”

If the old camp is damaged, or if a new camp is built, they must select people from it, which is considered their source of soldiers, but now there is not enough food, even if they want to select all these brave men into the old camp, expand their strength and cut off the source of trouble, they are also powerless.

Zhang Xianzhong's words can be regarded as a choice in desperation.

Wang Jiayin was noncommittal, he hadn't reached that step yet, he wouldn't do it until he had to do it, once it was spread, who else would come to him in the future.

"Let's talk about it, think of a way to raise some food." Wang Jiayin said.

The state government was silent, taking a huge risk, bearing the loss of the lost soldiers, and knocking down the state city, so it was too cost-effective to have such a little food.

But can you go to fight the city, everyone knows this bit of their ability, not relying on undercover, even if they are enough to fight the county, any city is a bottomless black hole for them, and all the net worth is not enough for it to swallow.

Is it just to be consumed alive like this, or to simply abandon the many refugees and go up to the mountains to become bandits?

Just when everyone was thinking nonsense, Li Zicheng, who was in the last seat, spoke.

"Big Chief, brothers, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not."
