Chongzhen 10th year of the 12th month of the seventh month of Luoyang outside the city of Luoyang at this time has been surrounded by dense and countless rogue bandits, the rogue bandits blocked the three city gates, only leaving a vacant land outside the east gate, the rest of the place has been occupied by more than 100,000 rogue bandits, everywhere is dense and colorful flags.

The moon slowly rose, and the earth was silvery white. There is a small hill ten miles outside the south gate of Luoyang, and under the hill is a forest, and dozens of tents are set up in the woods, and the old camp is set up in the small forest on the top of the mountain. The ground is full of fallen leaves, and there are some rocks that can sit on people. Behind it is a huge rock that keeps out the north wind. The bright moon wanders in the treetops, and the shadows of the trees on the ground are swaying. Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and several important generals were present, and they roasted horse meat around the fire. Since coming to Luoyang, Gao Guiying, who was in charge of the logistics of the old battalion, sent people to the battlefield to bring back many wounded war horses, and distributed them to each battalion to slaughter and eat, and the old battalion also left two. Eating horse meat not only saves dry food, but it is also easier to swallow than eating dry food in case of water shortage.

Now everyone is discussing how to attack Luoyang, everyone knows how glorious it is to be the first to attack Luoyang, and how great the benefits are at the same time, and they are fighting for this one by one.

Looking at the people who were red-faced, Li Zicheng smiled and groaned silently, in his opinion, it was a good thing that everyone at this time had high fighting spirit, which was also conducive to the unity of the righteous army and the improvement of combat effectiveness.

Everyone fought to the end, or Liu Zongmin relied on his identity as the general post to grab the power of the main attack of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Zongmin, who grabbed the first attack, leaned triumphantly on the big stone behind him and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't worry, after the capture of Luoyang, I will invite everyone to have a good meal of Luoyang water banquet, I heard that this is a famous dish in Luoyang!" ”

Gao Yigong glanced at Liu Zongmin and said disdainfully, "Who is rare about your Luoyang water seat, you can eat as many of these things as you want when you enter Luoyang Laozi?" ”

Gao Yigong bumped into Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin was not magical, but said with a smile: "That's a good feeling, I can save another meal." However, when we have laid down the country, I Lao Liu has to invite everyone to have a meal! ”

Li Zicheng on the side deliberately asked: "Jiexuan, do you think we can conquer the country?" ”

"Yes! Yes! I bet! If anyone doesn't believe it, I, Liu Zongmin, dare to bet on my head! ”

"How so?"

"The number of Da Ming Qi has been exhausted, there are fires in all directions, smoke in eight times, and Chongzhen's dragon chair has long been unstable. Chuang Wang, you do the way for heaven, fight the rich and help the poor, suppress the soldiers and calm the people, do everything for the sake of the people, and do good deeds with benevolence and righteousness. There were a lot of people who started up in the past, but which of the leaders of the thirteen families and seventy-two battalions could catch up with you? Besides, how many battles have we fought and how many people have died in the past few months, King Chuang, you have charged into battle, from Shaanxi to Henan, and you have not even damaged a single hair, isn't it a big life? You deserve to have the country, and there are gods everywhere to bless you! ”

Li Zicheng laughed happily after hearing this, recently, he led the rogues from Shaanxi to Henan, and the number of the army also snowballed from six or seven thousand to sixteen or seventy thousand, so far, the northwest of Henan Province has been conquered, and the bad luck that was suppressed by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in a short time ago has been swept away, and now how can he not be happy after listening to Liu Zongmin's words.

Li Zicheng stood up, walked up to Liu Zongmin, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiexuan, you said very well, very good." Zicheng looked at everyone again and said loudly: "Our righteous army can be regarded as bitter and sweet." One day, after we conquer Luoyang and Kaifeng, we will no longer be trapped in the shallows like Jiaolong, we can develop eastward, capture Shandong, capture Jiangnan, and our righteous army will also make great achievements! ”

Li Zicheng's words bewitched the surrounding generals into blood, Hao Shaoqi patted his thigh and said: "King Chuang is right, our righteous army can also fight the country, and when we enter Yanjing City, King Chuang can also sit on the dragon chair and be the emperor, we are all heroes of the founding of the country!" ”

"That is, Zhu Yuanzhang could be the emperor with a cowherd baby back then, and our king is much stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang, why can't he be the emperor."

"By the way, when the time comes, I will definitely marry thirty or fifty daughters-in-law, sleep one a night, and not repeat them for a month!"

Just as everyone was immersed in the reverie of the beautiful life in the future, a partial general guarding the foot of the mountain walked into the woods and reported: "King Qiyu Chuang, my lords, Luo Ye (Luo Rucai) and Sun Ye (Sun Kewang) have returned, but it just seems that their situation is not very good!" ”

Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and Li Zicheng put away his smile and said, "You go and bring both of them in!" ”

Soon, Luo Rucai and Sun Kewang came over. Everyone in the forest couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the gray-faced two, Gao Yigong stood up and asked, "Old Sun Lao Luo, what's wrong with you?" Why did you make such a mess? ”

At this time, Luo Rucai and Sun Kewang's crooked armor were covered with dust, and Luo Rucai didn't even have weapons, which showed how embarrassed they were.

Li Zicheng didn't speak, but his brows gradually wrinkled, he walked up to Sun Kewang and asked in a deep voice: "Sun Kewang, what is going on, what kind of strong enemy have you encountered, so that you are so embarrassed." ”

Sun Kewang knelt on the ground with a puff, hugged Li Zicheng's thigh and howled: "King Chuang, it's over, all the people and horses brought by me and Luo Rucai are finished, and they are all eaten by the officers and soldiers from Shandong!" ”

"What!"

As soon as Sun Kewang's words came out, the faces of dozens of generals, including Li Zicheng, all became very ugly.

They were still discussing the capture of Luoyang and then directly took Kaifeng, and then marched to Shandong, and now occupied the entire Shandong and Jiangnan, and never thought that in the blink of an eye, Sun Kewang came to report that their men and horses were eaten clean by the soldiers and horses from Shandong, this slap is really loud.

Li Zicheng took a deep breath and asked, "How many Shandong soldiers and horses are there?" ”

Sun Kewang and Luo Rucai glanced at each other, and Sun Kewang said hesitantly: "There are about 4,000 Shandong soldiers and horses we encountered, but there are still their brigades of men and horses behind, and I don't know how many people there are." ”

"Okay, you guys can really do it!" Li Zicheng's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Sun Kewang and the others: "Each of you brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and before you went, I also told you to sneak attack, don't fight hard with officers and soldiers, but how did you do it, you actually got the whole army annihilated, you can really do it!" ”
