Outside Zhuxian Town, south of Kaifeng City, it has been dilapidated for many years now, except for some houses that can't even shelter from the wind and rain, the only thing that is commendable is the Guandi Temple.

Since last night, there have been many thieves who have broken down here intermittently, and it was not until last night that Li Zicheng took the old camp and the gathered men and horses to camp less than ten miles away from the Guandi Temple.

may have been frightened by the elusive army, Li Zicheng, who had rarely placed horses in the past, also sprinkled the horsemen out this time, and they went in and out of the camp, bringing back all kinds of reports.

Most of these reports found the lost part of the rebel army, and brought them to make peace with King Chuang, and there were also military information similar to whether the Ming army pursued out of the city, whether the rest of the Ming army came to reinforce it, and where the horses went.

In the gray tent in the middle, a circle of people sat around several tables, on which a few maps of Henan were spread out in a mess, Song Xiance held a tortoise shell in his left hand, and scribbled on a few pieces of white paper with a brush in his right hand.

Of course, the more people around him couldn't understand the things he painted, the more awe-inspiring they became, and the appearance of reading words was like a magic stick on the rivers and lakes.

In addition, many generals wearing white armor hurriedly went in and out, often asking a word after coming in, and then hurriedly walked out after getting an impatient reply from King Chuang.

The few people around the table are the top leaders of the peasant armies in the Central Plains today, except for Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance who are wearing serious gray robes, the rest of the people are not very good, wearing an old arrow suit is Li Guo, with injuries on his body, and his expression is a little angry, and Liu Zongmin is wearing a collar with a few patches, and he also sighs.

The northernmost one, which was different from the others, was Li Zicheng, who was dressed in a fine red satin brocade robe and a white bowled hat on his head, looking a little majestic.

"How's Haozi?"

Li Zicheng patted the table hatefully, and suddenly asked.

Li Guo sighed heavily, first picked up the broken bowl on the table, and didn't look at how turbid the water inside was, he just drank it clean without paying attention to it, wiped his mouth again, and then said:

"King Chuang, Hao Zi is still unconscious, the lead bullet is not deep, and now it has been taken out, the injury is not too serious, it is said that it will be able to go to the ground in three days."

Although the people around the table are all at the highest level in the army, their style of action is no different from that of ordinary poor people in the market, Liu Zongmin squatted directly on the ground and said in a muffled voice:

"X damn it, speaking of which, my old Liu is also the first one in our army to break through the city, that Gao Qian was cut by me three times and couldn't find the north, so he only dared to let the family come to die, and he was about to enter the city, but why did the dog officers and soldiers in Shandong come so quickly? What a failure! ”

Liu Zongmin squatted on the ground like a common peasant in northern Shaanxi, sullen over there while talking, without the appearance of shouting and killing on the battlefield a few days ago, but as if he was chatting on the hot kang.

The others were similar, although they were all indignant, but not because of the bad environment.

Breaking into the army to fight in the north and south, no matter how bad the environment is, they have also experienced it, anyway, they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and it is a big deal to escape into the mountains again, and in the early years, they were beaten into more than a dozen horses, and there were tens of thousands of people.

Thinking of being repelled by the Shandong Army a few days ago, many generals of the invading army were depressed, and this beam was getting deeper and deeper.

Niu Jinxing saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, suddenly sneered, and also learned from Li Guo to pick up the broken bowl and take a few sips, and then pretended to wipe the water on his mouth roughly, and said:

"We are all oppressed lives, poor lives, the world is full of other old farmers who are like us by dog officers and soldiers, my ancestors and eighteen generations are all combined, and the mother-in-law who has slept is afraid that there is not as much as the king fighting!"

As soon as he said this, Li Zicheng also laughed out loud and said:

"That's natural, what Wang Zheng is doing in Shandong, can there be less mother-in-law?"

Li Guo was a little unconvinced, stood up and blew up, saying that he had slept with many women, and how she had slept in a certain place.

But when he said this, he suddenly complained:

"Damn, the legs are good, and she looks handsome and quiet, but her breasts are too small, and she is far from our mother-in-law in northern Shaanxi, and those girls can't hold it with one hand~"

Li Guo stepped on the chair, drew the proportions of his chest with his hands, and suddenly said that when he turned into Nanyang, he met a daughter of Zhizhou over there, and her body was soft.

"It's still the daughter of a big family who is well-behaved and sensible, and her body is soft and hot, just like cotton, hahaha."

A room of thieves in the Central Plains was chatting with a big grin, temporarily forgetting the failure of the second siege of Kaifeng, but at this time, I saw a middle-aged man rushing into the big tent in a panic.

"King Chuang, something happened, the Shandong army... They..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Xiance waved his hand to stop, slowly drank a sip of muddy water, stood up with a feather fan, and said with a smile:

"Brother Yigong, how to say it, is also the identity of the general of the rear army, and he is the talent of our army, we must have our own city government and bearing, and don't panic when something happens."

Liu Zongmin also got up, nodded and said:

"The military advisor is right, no matter how anxious we are, what can be a big deal if we are all defeated, do the dog officers and soldiers dare to chase them out of the city, if they really dare to go out of the city, I will take people to destroy them when I turn around!"

Li Guo also responded:

"Gao Yigong, you kid, what are you doing! Do you know that Lao Tzu startled you, where did you just go? Hey, yes, that Nanyang Mansion's daughter of Zhizhou, that's-"

Gao Yigong was obviously stunned, why was he still talking about women at such a time, but seeing that Li Zicheng also nodded indifferently, this is the way to bend down and report carefully.

This is indeed a bit surprising, before he finished listening, Li Zicheng wanted to stand up and ask carefully, but saw that Li Guo jumped up before him, this is the reaction, pretending to be unhurried and slowly stood up, and glanced outside the tent.

"Pass the order down, convene the generals of each battalion, this matter is not small, it seems that it is going to be a good discussion, speaking of which, that Chongzhen has helped us!"

Song Xiance shook his head and said:

"King Chuang's words are wrong, it's not Chongzhen's help, but God's will!"

About half an hour later, the main tent of the intruding army was already filled with generals of all sizes, not to mention the uneven quality of these generals, and the number of them was also larger, but at least they were leaders with more than 1,000 people.

The same number of people in the Shandong Army should also be a regular barracks officer.

As for Liu Zongmin and a few others, the people in charge are even on a par with Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and they only talk with a little respect on weekdays, and no one pays attention to them when they are angry.

In fact, Liu Zongmin also has that capital to do this, compared to the descendants of King Li Zicheng, he is nothing more than the name of King Chuang, and what is there to be afraid of.

Listening to Gao Yigong's original words, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became enthusiastic, and the leaders of all sizes seemed to have forgotten the defeat outside the city a few days ago, and shouted that they would besiege Kaifeng for the third time.
