After Li Hongji broke off all grievances and hatreds, he became Li Zicheng, and then took his nephew Li Guo, Liu Guoneng, Liu Fangliang, Lin Yangcheng and others to defect to his uncle, that is, Gao Ruyue, who became Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and began his life of ups and downs.

First, he followed Gao Yingxiang to participate in the siege of Yan'an Mansion by the thieves of the north and south of Shaanxi, and after being defeated by the official army of Yansui Town outside the city of Yan'an, he fled all the way with Gao Yingxiang's horse thief team, and finally was defeated by the officials and troops who rushed to the news again outside Suidezhou City, and the thieves and rebels suffered countless casualties, but Li Zicheng, Liu Guoneng, Liu Fangliang, and Li Guo once again escaped unharmed.

After a fierce battle outside Suide City, Li Zicheng and others followed Gao Yingxiang, and Gao Yingxiang followed Wang Ziyong and others and continued to flee east.

Soon after, these people mixed into Jia County on the edge of the Yellow River, and together with Ma Shouying and others in the city, they took Jia County again.

Then the situation, needless to say, Li Zicheng followed the chaotic army across the Yellow River, followed the team to fight Wubao and Yongning, and charged forward along the way.

At this time, Li Zicheng finally found the most suitable career for himself, that is, killing officials and rebelling, gathering people to make trouble.

As for Liu Guoneng and Lin Chengsheng, who came to flee to Gao Yingxiang, although they mixed well, they did not become famous in a short period of time like Li Zicheng, who had a good uncle.

After several tough battles in a row, these few who did not die all had more or less subordinates and status in the camp.

Especially Liu Guoneng, at the beginning of the rebellion, he was mainly based on the team of his old Liu family, and by this time, he had already gathered hundreds of people, seeing that there was nothing to do in the camp, so he thought about when to pull the team to do it alone.

Although Liu Guoneng and Lin Chengcheng became friends late, they were quite close to each other, and they were both dissatisfied with the relatively strict military discipline in the camp.

Therefore, when the thieves cooperated to defeat Yongning Prefecture, Wang Jiayin, the leading brother among the thieves, gathered for a meeting, not only called himself the king of Hengtian, but also allowed all the thieves to claim the king and dominate, and for a while, a group of anti-kings emerged among the various mountain factions.

Liu Guoneng saw this opportunity, and at the same time, he was also invited by Wang Zuohang, and soon broke away from the camp and set up his own battalion, calling himself the "King of the Collapse of the Sky".

Lin Chengcheng saw that Liu Guoneng changed his court, worked on his own, and became a "king of collapse", of course, he was very angry, but it was a pity that his subordinates were only one hundred and eighty at this time, so he could only press his mood and continue to bury his head in Gao Yingxiang's camp.

Liu Fangliang and Li Guo have known Li Zicheng since they were children, and this is a friendship between bare butts and big plays, so naturally they don't have any self-reliance, and they followed Li Zicheng to fight and rush, creating Li Zicheng's prestige At the same time, they also mixed with the small leader of the thieves, each of whom has one hundred and eighty minions.

After the meeting of the thieves in Yongning Prefecture was held, twelve anti-kings were found in just a few days, and then these twelve anti-kings divided their territories and began to loot separately, of course, gold, silver and grain, pots and pans were never let go.

Population is the most important thing, among which the obedient men pull the strong Ding as minions, and the disobedient ones are killed on the spot, and the old and weak women and children are not too cumbersome, all of them are drawn to their own names, used as the rear camp members, washing and cooking on weekdays, serving the leaders and backbones of these thieves, and using them as cannon fodder when attacking the city, to fill the moats and ravines.

In this way, more than a month later, some of the prefectures and counties distributed along the Yellow River in Shanxi were scourged, and correspondingly, the leaders of these thieves naturally grabbed a lot of money, and the twelve battalion leaders also developed rapidly.

When we crossed the river on the ice in the first month of the first month and came to Shanxi, the main camps in the north and south added up to only 20,000 or 30,000 people, among whom there were many people who came with them, but at the end of February and the beginning of March, the men among the thieves, regardless of whether they were old or young, strong or weak, roughly added up to 1670,000 people.

However, Wang Jiayin, who was somewhat complacent about the "Hengtian One-Character King", soon heard the news that the imperial court had sent a large army to encircle and suppress from the spies sent to nearby prefectures and counties to inquire about the news.

For him, the Shanxi soldiers are not beaten, but the border army of Yansui Town and the standard battalion under the governor of Shaanxi have dealt with them, although he has many people, but among them are ordinary people, Wang Jiayin, who was born in the border army, knows the "strength" of these people.

Therefore, after hearing about these very unfavorable news, he quickly decided that the 36 plans would be the best and continue to play hide and seek with the officials and soldiers.

As soon as this decision was made, the leaders of the battalions all agreed, these people had more or less been the king of the mountain, and they were no strangers to being the king of the mountain, but they occupied the city, sat in the yamen and pretended to be a state and county official, and always felt an indescribable awkwardness, and they were not solid in their hearts.

As soon as the matter of entering the mountain was discussed, everyone agreed.

But there are different opinions on where to go and how to get there.

Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shou took the initiative to go north at the request, and asked Gan to take the risk and go to the area of Luya Mountain to contain the Ming army in Yansui and Shanxi Town, so as to share the worries and solve problems for the leading brother and provide cover for the main force of the army to move in.

At that time, when he followed Gao Yingxiang to see Wang Jiayin, Li Zicheng thought that Wang Jiayin might be furious, but to his surprise, Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shouying mentioned this request.

For this point, Li Zicheng still admires the leading brother "Hengtian King" who is now jointly promoted by the rebels from all walks of life.

This bearing, this mind, is the demeanor that the leading brother should have!

At this time, Li Zicheng did not have the maturity and sophistication that he had more than ten years later in history, and at this time, he still had the so-called feelings of doing the right thing for heaven in his heart similar to the Water Margin, and he always liked to talk about righteousness in everything.

Therefore, he had a different view on breaking into the camp and returning to the camp to break away from the brigade and turn north, feeling that the current enemy and such a division of troops was not only unrighteous, but also dangerous.

However, although he thinks so, he will not change the door and "betray" the camp like Liu Guoneng.

Liu Guoneng has the heart of self-reliance, he has known it for a long time, but Liu Guoneng is his benefactor after all, he helped him at a critical moment, and it is precisely because of helping him that he embarked on the road of killing officials and rebelling, so he who has always paid attention to the righteousness of his buddies can't say anything.

In this way, the time has just entered March, Li Zicheng followed the camp and returned to the camp with full thoughts, leaving the camp located on the bank of the Sanchuan River and at the foot of Mopan Mountain thirty miles north of Yongning Prefecture, and took the looted people, grain and grass and all kinds of baggage, along the valley of the Lishi River, all the way to the north.

The Lishi River in this time and space was called the Beichuan River in later generations, and there is also a Fangshan County in this river valley area.

However, in this historical time and space, the Lishi River valley area of Yongning Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Lishi County, and Yongning Prefecture and Lishi County belong to the same city of the state and county.

Therefore, in the entire Lishi River Valley area of nearly 200 miles before and after, except for some villages and towns, there was no county seat at this time, so there was no inspection department and other forms of government garrisons.

Of course, even if there is a garrison, it will be in vain under the siege of tens of thousands of people who break into the camp and return to the camp.

In this way, half a month later, more than 30,000 people successfully passed through this narrow valley running north-south and arrived at the small town of Lan County, which is surrounded by mountains.

Needless to say, after ten days, Sun Chuanting and others set off from Taiyuan with the official army, went west through the Fenhe Valley between Yunzhong Mountain and Luliang Mountain, passed through Loufu, and arrived at Lanxian County, and it had been a few days since they broke into the camp and returned to the camp.

And what was left for them, except for the looted small town of Lan County, was only corpses everywhere.

Li Zicheng, a young general who is now trusted and respected by King Gao Yingxiang in the camp, of course also opened the killing ring, but the one who killed the most people was the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying's Hui Hui Camp.

The murderous method of returning to the camp made Li Zicheng, a general who had already killed many people, feel too subordinated and cruel.

It is also because of this that when Chuang Ying and Huihui Camp evacuated Lan County all the way and continued to march north to Jingle County, Li Zicheng was reluctant to enter the city with Hui Hui Ying to loot, but took the initiative to propose to Gao Yingxiang to lead a group of soldiers and horses to stay outside the city to defend the back road for the army.

Because of this, Li Zicheng took the "Chuang General Camp" handed over to him by Gao Yingxiang, and accidentally appeared at the end of the mountain road leading to Jingle from the direction of Lanxian, blocking the way of the official army of Yansui Town led by Sun Chuanting.

These two enemies, who had been fighting each other for many years in their original history, met for the first time in fate.
