Hearing this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but look at Wang Ziyong again, the leader of the 36th Battalion Rebel Army, although the cough has eased a lot, his face is still pale, and he looks very ugly, and he is seriously ill at first glance.

In an instant, at this moment, Li Zicheng's mind turned a thousand times, and he couldn't help but think of the things he saw about the end of the Ming Dynasty before he crossed over, and vaguely remembered that this alliance leader seemed to be about to reach the limit, and he was afraid that his life would not be long.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and as soon as Xing Hongwolf's voice fell, Li Zicheng showed a worried look and asked puzzledly: "Leader Xing, why didn't you look for Lang Zhong to show the alliance leader?" You can't drag it out like this, and the condition will only get worse and worse. ”

Xing Hongwolf's face was full of worry, and he just wanted to say something, but when he heard Wang Ziyong's long sigh, he no longer coughed, and his whole person looked extremely weak, and he said helplessly: "Brother Li, why don't I see a doctor?" Along the way, Xing Hongwolf and Guo Tianxing found many famous doctors, all of whom were bitter and untreatable, which could only slow down the deterioration of the condition, but could not cure it. ”

"Well, the alliance leader, I won't bother, you can take a good rest, take care of your body, go back first, and send someone to Han Duan's two families to discuss the specific details of that business."

Li Zicheng left the place where Wang Ziyong lived, and walked all the way, thinking about things.

With Li Zicheng's little historical knowledge, almost all of it comes from various histories. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, there were two causes of death for Wang Ziyong, one was that he died at the hands of the disease, and the other was that he was beheaded by the official army.

Now it seems that Li Zicheng is more inclined to the former.

The reason why Li Zicheng made this judgment was not only because of the sick look of Wang Ziyong he saw before, but also because if Wang Ziyong really died at the hands of officials and soldiers, there would definitely be a record in the official history, rather than such vague rumors and speculations.

After all, in the past few years, according to Li Zicheng's officials and troops in the late Ming Dynasty, some generals did not hesitate to kill the people and risk leading the army's merits.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng was even more firm in his judgment, Wang Ziyong must have died of illness!

Since he knew these things in advance, no matter which aspect he considered, Li Zicheng thought about it, he should prepare in advance, once Wang Ziyong suddenly died, there would be another big turmoil within the rebel army.

If the official army took advantage of the period of internal chaos in the rebel army to invade on a large scale and come to encircle and suppress it, it would be a devastating disaster for the leaderless rebel army, no matter who it was for!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's heart suddenly became heavy, and his brain began to work at high speed, thinking about how to deal with it. However, when they were almost at the place where they lived, they still didn't have any clue, and their hearts became even heavier.

Soon after, Li Jiajun was similar to the temporary office of the headquarters, and Li Zicheng called a group of generals to a room and probably told Wang Ziyong about his illness. Of course, Li Zicheng did not bluntly say that the leader of the alliance would die soon, but only vaguely expressed that Wang Ziyong's health was very bad, he was riddled with illness, and it was very likely that he would encounter an accident.

As soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, the relatively strategic Tian Jianxiu was the first to stand up, and his words were full of heaviness.

"Boss, we must prepare early!"

Tian Jianxiu said such a serious sentence inexplicably, and the words only paused slightly, and without waiting for others to respond, he continued: "Thinking about the leader of Wang Jiayin, after being betrayed to death by the internal thieves, the internal chaos of the rebel army was suddenly chaotic, giving Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that the rebel armies from all walks of life in Shaanxi were surrounded and suppressed. It was not until Wang Ziyong was elected as the leader of the 36th Battalion that the internal stability of the rebel army was much more stable, and he was able to lead most of the rebel army to cross the Yellow River east and enter Shanxi. Otherwise, there would be no current situation, and at least half of the rebel army would have disappeared long ago. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Yigong, who had always been giggling, also looked very dignified, and then echoed: "Boss, I have been in the rebel army for the longest time, after Wang Jiayin was betrayed and died, I know the situation inside the rebel army best, and the leaders of the rebel army are absolutely bloodshed in order to compete for the position of the leader of the general alliance. Even if Wang Ziyong became the leader of the alliance and stabilized the situation, it was only the result of a compromise between all parties, because the situation was already very critical, and the official army was overwhelmed, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time. Of course, the personal prestige of Wang himself cannot be ignored. ”

It seems that he has a deep sense of that time, and Gao Yigong shows a rare rationality, and every word is full of wisdom. To be precise, this wisdom is a kind of summary of the lesson, a feeling from the heart.

"So, boss, in the long time that the rebel army has been in, judging from my experience, before the king alliance lord has three longs and two shorts, as Captain Tian said, you must prepare early, or leave this upcoming whirlpool, if you stay, you must find someone who can preside over the overall situation, can calm the scene, stabilize the inside of the rebel army, and thus take over the king league leader."

Just when the others were dignified, Liu Fangliang was excited, and suddenly said excitedly: "Boss, in the past few months, our Li Jiajun has done so many things and saved so many leaders of the rebel army, and your prestige has already climbed to a new height, no less than a veteran rebel leader like Luo Rucai." Once the leader of the Wang Alliance has three longs and two shorts, why don't you take over the position of the leader of the general alliance, won't there be nothing? ”

Hearing this, most people were moved in their hearts, their eyes flashed, and they looked at Li Zicheng hopefully, faintly exuding excitement, waiting for the other party to give a positive response.

However, Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and said helplessly: "Fang Liang, what you think is too simple and naïve. Yes, with Li Jiajun's benevolence and righteousness in the past few months, he rescued and relieved one rebel army after another. However, compared to the entire rebel army, it was only a few. ”

"Moreover, the position of the leader of the rebel alliance is different from other things, and it can be used to command other rebel armies in the light. So, in the face of such a big piece of fat, who wants to easily let go and give it to others? Once something happens to the leader of the Wang Alliance, it is inevitable and irrevocable for the leaders of the rebel armies to break their heads and bleed. ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded slightly, and then said to himself: "Hmm... The boss said well, the position of alliance leader must not only have strong strength, but also have deep enough qualifications. Otherwise, it will not be possible to convince the other leaders and control the situation. ”

For a while, the room was quiet, and everyone was thinking about the most likely candidate for the alliance leader,

Everyone's brain is running at high speed, and one candidate after another is emerging, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui, and Chaotian King......

After a short silence, Gao Yigong broke the calm again, muttered with a look on his face, and said reluctantly: "Boss, what do you think of Gao Yingxiang?" If we push Gao Yingxiang, coupled with the help of Guo Tianxing, Eight King Kong and others, we should be able to succeed. ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Tian Jianxiu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, boss, why don't we promote the high leader?" Based on the current situation of the rebel armies, the strength of the high leader is enough to rank in the top three. Moreover, after the rectification and repair in Henan, the high leader has long been restored"

Li Zicheng was also moved, leaning towards his cheap uncle.

After all, judging from the situation of this month, his cheap uncle has already repented, when he attacked Liaozhou, it was rumored that the Li family's army was surrounded by official troops, and his cheap uncle immediately went north, entered the Zhending Mansion, and joined with Lao Huihui and Chaotianwang, and approached the land of Jinan, which made the Beijing division chaotic, and the official army chasing Li Zicheng and Wang Ziyong and others was immediately reduced by half.

Otherwise, Li Jiajun and the other rebel armies would not have come to Jiangzhou in Pingyang Province so smoothly.

When Li Zicheng recalled these thoughts in his mind, Gao Yigong reluctantly muttered again: "If it weren't for Gao Yingxiang's old man's repentance, he would have performed well these days, so I wouldn't be willing to recommend him." ”

"Boss, yes. In any case, you and Leader Gao are uncles and nephews, and if Leader Gao can be the leader of the rebel army, it will be in our best interest. Tian Jianxiu then echoed, his cheeks flushed a little with excitement.

At this moment, even if there was no persuasion from the two of them, Li Zicheng had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately said: "Well, just do it, once we enter the Huaiqing Mansion in Henan, we will immediately meet with the high leader and discuss this matter secretly." ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng smiled, his solemn expression disappeared instantly, and he said heartily: "By the way, this outing, there is also good news for you, to ensure that you want to dance happily." ”

"Boss, what's the good news?!" A few people couldn't help but exclaim in unison, their eyes were shining, and although the others didn't say anything, their expressions were very similar.

Obviously, in the impression of everyone, the good news that their boss can say is by no means ordinary!

Li Zicheng smiled, his face was full of pride, it seemed that he had expected everyone's reaction to be like this, and immediately stopped selling Guanzi, and Lang Lang told the two transactions reached with Han Duan and the two families, and slowly narrated.

After a while, as soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, Li Guo's face was suddenly colored, and he couldn't help but be excited: "Boss, no wonder you said that the conditions are ripe, and it is time to build a cottage in Wangwu Mountain!" With this food source channel, even if we don't attack the town in the future and don't have any grain inputs, with the silver tickets we hold in our hands, it will be enough to supply the food consumption of the Wangwushan base area. ”

"Moreover, as long as we have the promise of the Han Duan family and promise to provide specific information on the transaction with the official army, then we can occupy an innate advantage and completely cut off the source of food and grass for the official army. Without the supply of food and grass, no matter how elite the army sent by the imperial court is, there is nothing to be done about us? ”

At this time, Tian Jianxiu seemed to think of something, with a solemn look on his face, and suddenly reminded: "Boss, if the Han Duan family disobeys the yin and secretly colludes with the officials and the army to provide us with false news, once we or other rebels go to intercept grain and grass, won't we be ambushed?" ”

Li Zicheng hesitated for a moment, revealing a deep groan, and after a while, he shook his head and said very firmly: "No, Liang Han Duan and the others don't dare to do that." ”

Seeing what Tian Jianxiu wanted to say and argue, Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop it, and then said further: "If the two of them really do that, unless they and the Han Duan family don't have a great business in Shanxi, unless they can instantly shield the ends of the world." Otherwise, they will face a frenzied pursuit by rebels from all walks of life. What's more, the buttocks of the Han Duan family are not so clean, not just doing food business with various rebel armies? ”

Everyone nodded frequently when they listened, and they looked very convinced. If the Han Duan family dared to betray the rebel armies, then the two families had to think carefully about whether they could bear the consequences of this.

In today's Shanxi, although I dare not say that the rebel armies from all walks of life have an absolute advantage, it is not easy to concentrate all the men and horses to attack a few of these cities!

At the same time, among the people present, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu understood the meaning of Li Zicheng's last sentence, which completely established that the Han Duan family did not dare to disobey the yang and the yin. At the very least, they did not dare to collude with the official army to form an insurrectionary army from all walks of life.

Otherwise, once the news of the grain transaction between the Han Duan family and Houjin spreads, it will definitely be a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, which is more serious than selling grain to the rebellious army.

Therefore, among all the people, if anyone firmly believes in Li Zicheng's judgment, it is the only one! After all, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu each have an intelligence system, one is bright and the other is dark, one is responsible for intelligence collection, and the other is responsible for the personnel lurking, just waiting for a certain day in the future.

Soon after, only Li Zicheng, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu were left in the house.

As soon as the others left, Li Zicheng's expression froze, his face showed solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "Guo'er, see Xiu, although the possibility of the Han Duan family violating the yin and yang is very small, but we have to guard against it, we can't entrust our safety in the hands of others, we must take the initiative." ”

Although the two have always believed in Li Zicheng's judgment, as soon as they heard Li Zicheng say this, they were still relieved for no reason, and breathed a sigh of relief, no one interjected, they knew that the boss would talk about the arrangement of the back hand next.

Therefore, in the days to come, regardless of whether or not there is a transaction with the Han Duan family, we must closely monitor the movements of the two families. In particular, every time they provide information about the purchase of grain by officials and soldiers, they must carefully examine it and then act cautiously. ”

"Boss, we get it."

Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu agreed in unison, the former seemed to think of something, hesitated, and suddenly said: "Uncle, in three or four months, my aunt will be born, do you want to return to the Zhongnan Mountain base to have a look?" After all, this is your first child, the first bloodline of our Li family. ”

Li Zicheng paused for a moment, although his face couldn't hide the joy of being a father, he still hesitated, and muttered: "Guo'er, I understand what you mean, although it is calm now, the situation of the rebel army is not bad. However, this situation will not last long at all, and we will make such a big disturbance in Jinan, it is impossible for the imperial court to let us go, and it will definitely send heavy troops to encircle and suppress us. At this time, the situation can change suddenly at any time, how can I leave? ”
