In Gao Yingxiang's tent, several braziers were filled with scorching charcoal, and the surface was glowing with crystal red fire, baking the temperature in the big tent, driving away the cold and warming everyone.

Although the tent was not large, it was also crowded with twenty or thirty people, and it could be said that it was overcrowded, and there was hardly any place to foothold. And Li Zicheng stood at the forefront, between Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Miaoshou, facing everyone, telling the news he had gotten.

"Leaders, according to Li's report from Tanmalai, the water of the Yellow River from Quyuan in Shanxi Province to Jiyuan in Henan Province is covered with a thick layer of ice, which is two or three feet thick, and after people step on horses, there is no crack at all."

As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, Gao Yingxiang immediately said: "Leaders, we are all from Shaanxi, our families know our own affairs, Shaanxi has been a barren land since ancient times, and now there is a drought year after year, if we return to Shaanxi, it will still be difficult to escape the bitter days of hunger." In that case, why don't we raise the banner of resistance again? ”

As soon as the words were finished, everyone in the camp buzzed and discussed, and the scene was very chaotic and noisy, and there was a faint uncontrollable trend.

After a while, Zhang Miao's hands were pressing in the air while he was also saying: "Everyone, be quiet, before this, when discussing surrender, everyone's original plan was to wait for the situation to change and raise the banner of resistance again." Now that the time has come, what else do you have to hesitate about? ”

"King Chuang, Leader Zhang, General Chuang, this is not negotiable, you can just say it directly, what should you do next?" Lao Hui took a step forward, and after the big stinging finished speaking, he asked further: "Next, are we crossing the river in one go, each going our own way?" Or divide into several teams and cross the Yellow River south one by one? ”

At this moment, all eyes were focused on the three of them, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Miaoshou looked at Gao Yingxiang again, who did not postpone any time, and said directly: "Leaders, in my opinion, it is better for the rebel armies to be divided into three routes, and cross the Yellow River one by one. ”

After a pause, Gao Yingxiang looked around and saw that everyone showed puzzled expressions, and without waiting for them to ask, he immediately explained: "The reason for this arrangement is that although there is snow on the surface of the Yellow River, it is only a thin layer, and the ice is too slippery. Therefore, before crossing the river, first cover a layer of door panels, supplemented by soil, you can gallop through the horses, and after half a day's effort, all the men and horses can cross the Yellow River. ”

"Before the meeting, I had already arranged for a part of the Li family's army to move and began to collect door panels and hay for crossing the river. Now it's time for everyone to act at the same time and collect more door panels and hay so that it can be faster. ”

Everyone knows what he Gao Yingxiang has already arranged? It's just that Li Zicheng has already taken action, is ready, and relinquishes the good things to him, so as to further establish his prestige among the rebels.

Of course, although Gao Yingxiang's explanation was a little incoherent and not very clear, everyone still understood the general meaning, which is nothing more than that if you cross the Yellow River together, you will need a lot of soil and door panels. Otherwise, it will cause people to fall and fall, and it will be difficult to cross the river.

After all, the smooth ice is too slippery. Even if you wrap a layer of cloth around the horse's feet, it won't do anything.

Just as this thought flashed through everyone's minds, a leader suddenly asked: "King Chuang, collect the door panels, I can still understand, what is the purpose of collecting hay?" ”

"Hehe... Sweeping King, why are you confused? Gao Yingxiang smiled heartily, did not wait for the other party to respond, and further explained: "In this cold and freezing temperature, the ground has long been frozen, and the soil is very hard. ”

At this time, as soon as Gao Yingxiang finished speaking, Li Zicheng added: "Moreover, these hay are also surprisingly useful for blocking the pursuers." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, stunned, and puzzled, and Lao Huihui asked directly: "Oh, it's just some licorice, what can you stop the pursuers?" Breaking general, are you kidding everyone? ”

"How can you?" Li Zicheng answered, and then sold a pass, and did not answer: "Leader Ma, after we cross the Yellow River, put these hay on the ice, and light it with a fire." After the incident, if the officers and soldiers follow along the road and walk on the ice, what do you think will happen? ”

Obviously, not everyone reacted, but there were still people who understood and understood what Li Zicheng meant, and Luo Rucai was the first to say in admiration: "Wonderful... It's wonderful! Roast the ice surface with fire, so that the ice layer is thinner, once the officers and soldiers follow us, chase and kill us, we have to fall into the Yellow River, feed the fish and turtles! ”

In an instant, everyone suddenly realized, and all kinds of voices of praise and praise continued, one after another, complimenting Li Zicheng's whimsical strategy and rejecting the enemy's strategy.

At the same time, everyone was more convinced of their guesses, all of this was dominated by Li Zicheng, and Gao Yingxiang was just picking up ready-made ones and moving his mouth.

However, even so, knowing the reason, everyone still did not hesitate to praise Gao Yingxiang, who called a few capable and outstanding nephews?

"By the way, King Chuang, General Chuang, since you have decided to pull up the banner of resistance again and prepare to cross the Yellow River south, there should be a specific place to cross the river, right?" Guo Tianxing shouted, asked everyone's common doubts, and immediately attracted all eyes to the three of them.

However, the eyes are mainly focused on Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang, the former is more, but the result is beyond everyone's expectations.

"Leaders, after Gao discussed with his nephew and Leader Zhang, it is best to cross the river from Maojiazhai. Listen to the villagers in the neighborhood, relatively speaking, there is the last ice. Of course, the main reason is that the river is the narrowest there, and the corresponding crossing time is shorter. ”

Hearing Gao Yingxiang's previous words, everyone still didn't think so, as long as the ice was thick enough, where did it come from? Listening to the latter words again, I nodded my head slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

After all, everyone understands and knows in their hearts that the narrower the river, not only the fewer door panels that need to be laid, but also the shorter the time to cross the river. The rebel army of one or two hundred thousand must have been used for a long time, and the sooner it reached the other side, there would be less danger.

Therefore, even if it is a minute and a second, it is precious for all kinds of rebel armies.

"On the south bank of the Yellow River, there are two best places to land, namely the horseshoe nest and the wild boar's nose in Michi. In order to speed up the crossing time and let everyone reach the opposite bank as soon as possible, we are divided into three groups of people and horses, passing in turn, first boarding the horseshoe nest, and then the wild boar's nose, the two are used alternately in turn, so as not to cause congestion, and shorten the time to cross the river to the shortest. ”

Gao Yingxiang no longer spoke, but looked at Zhang Miaoshou with a smile, and the meaning was already very obvious.

"Leaders, the next thing is for Zhang to tell." Zhang Miaoshou clasped his hands into fists, dealt with everyone, and smiled back at Gao Yingxiang, nodded slightly, and continued: "In order to balance the forces of the three roads, so that each of the rebel armies can cross the Yellow River safely, the first road is the eight battalions of rampant wolves, Yidou Valley, sweeping kings, and full of stars; The second road is Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying, Zhang Xianzhong and other ......"

Hearing these names, although Li Zicheng's face was calm, he felt dizzy and swollen, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still held back, what eight kings, what three hands, one dragon, one word king, one zhang qing, as well as fraudulent hands, Guan Suo, Golden Winged Peng, and so on.

With so many names, Li Zicheng is dazzled when he hears them, and he wants to laugh every time he hears them, it's so weird!

There are all kinds of things!
