Thinking of this, while everyone was secretly glad in their hearts, they didn't say anything more, and no one persuaded Li Zicheng to establish a new base in Shouyang.

At the same time, Li Zicheng looked up at the night sky, it was as dark as washing, and every star was shining, and then said softly: "Okay, let's hurry up and eat." Rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow morning to Qingyuan to meet with the Heavenly Star. Although the journey is not long, it only takes two or three hours, so it is better to arrive a little early. ”

"Okay, boss."

When everyone agreed, they saw that the broth in the marching pot had already been boiled and eroded, and they couldn't distinguish between meat and dry food.

When the Li Jiajun was stationed in a mountain col in Shouyang County, in Qi County, Taiyuan Prefecture, in a barren flat area, black shadows flickered, dense figures like ant colonies, slowly crawling, vaguely looking, roughly estimated, there were about 30,000 or 40,000 people.

In the darkness, the figure suddenly stopped, and at the same time a tired voice was heard.

"Alliance leader, I have already left Lu'an Mansion, after the battle, we have run so far, let's take a break here for a while, rest for one night, stop and let the brothers eat some dry food, and have a good rest. If we continue to rush like this, many of the brothers will be overwhelmed. ”

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you, everyone will rest here for one night, and then continue on the road tomorrow."

Soon after, the firelight flickered, and one by one the fires appeared, and groups of soldiers who looked like rebels appeared, their faces yellow and emaciated, showing exhaustion.

This rebel army is none other than the king who has just escaped and ascended to heaven, and Guo Tianxing and others, all of whom are not embarrassed.

At this moment, Wang Ziyong, Xing Hongwolf, King of the Mixed World, Guo Tianxing, Ba King Kong and others sat around a fire, although they were tired and physically tired, but everyone had to beat their spirits and discuss the formation of tomorrow.

However, although Guo Tianxing was the first to speak, he was not talking about tomorrow's itinerary.

"Qiyu Alliance Leader, the reason why Guo Tianxing and Ba King Kong were able to successfully rescue and successfully break through Zhang Zongheng's camp this time is thanks to the help of Li Zicheng and General Li Chuang, which attracted most of the main forces of the official army to Liaozhou."

As soon as Guo Tianxing finished speaking, the excited words of the Eight King Kongs immediately sounded.

"Yes, Alliance Leader! If it weren't for the help of General Li Chuang, who led away the troops of You Shilu and his son and He Renlong, don't say that I and Guo Tianxing sacrificed more than 10,000 troops, even if one of them was left behind, and the lives of our two brothers would never be able to break the camp of the official army at the mountain pass of Lao Ye Mountain and rescue you, the leader of the alliance. ”

No one doubted the words of Tianxing and the Eight King Kongs, and even affirmed the role of Li Zicheng. After all, none of the people present were the leaders of the rebel army that had just begun, and which one had not fought with the officers and soldiers a few times?

Since the uprising, the combat power of the rebel army and the combat power of the official army must have never been comparable, and the way to victory depends entirely on the skill of the sea of people. This time is the same, in the consciousness of everyone, although there are more than 30,000 people in Guo Tianxing and the Eight King Kongs, they are still not Zhang Zongheng's opponents before the division of troops.

Wang Ziyong's emaciated face was a little withered, his spirit was sluggish, his eyes were open as if they weighed a thousand catties, and in the process of talking to the Eight King Kongs, Guo Tianxing nodded frequently, and then said: "General Li Chuang's kindness for this help, the leader of this alliance must remember it in his heart." If you have the opportunity in the future, you must pay it back twice. ”

It seems that he is really physically and mentally exhausted, and his body has reached a limit, when Wang Ziyong spoke, he seemed so weak, and he didn't say more words of gratitude to Li Zicheng.

However, the leaders around him knew very well that the alliance leader was really grateful to Li Zicheng for this rescue, and they also fully recognized Li Zicheng's status.

Except for the Heavenly Star and the Eight Vajras, the state of the other leaders is not much different from that of Wang Ziyong. After all, he has been chased by Zhang Zongheng for more than a month, and he has not relaxed for a moment, and he has been in Lao Ye Mountain for so long, and his body and mind are always in a tense state, how is it good?

At this time, as soon as Wang Ziyong finished speaking, Xing Hongliang suddenly changed the topic, although his voice was still weak, but it still showed that stubbornness and disregarded human feelings.

Xing Hongwolf looked at Guo Tianxing and Eight King Kongs, and asked, "Two leaders, along the way, what did you say about the agreement with General Li Chuang?" ”

The former also understood that his language expression ability was far inferior to that of Guo Tianxing, so he honestly kept silent and let Guo Tianxing answer.

"Alliance leader, Xing Red Wolf, leaders, here's how it ......"

So, Guo Tianxing told Li Zicheng's analysis eloquently, and told everyone everything without falling behind. Gradually, as Guo Tianxing spoke, the leaders listened to some nodding frequently, some shaking their heads slightly, and some expressionless.

In short, the reaction of the crowd was mixed. After all, not all leaders are willing to accept the kindness of others. To be more precise, in the face of others' well-intentioned decisions for themselves, not everyone can accept this "overstepping", not to mention that they are not ordinary people?

As soon as Guo Tianxing finished speaking, the King of the Mixed World was the first to speak, and retorted without giving face: "Guo Tianxing, Eight King Kongs, this leader admits that Li Chuang will be a great favor to everyone. However, that doesn't mean we have to listen to him in everything. Whatever he Li Zicheng says, we have to do it. ”

"Hey, King of the Mixed World, what do you mean by that? If you have something to say, aren't we discussing? Moreover, General Li Chuang is also out of good intentions, and has no intention of mandatory. It's just that it is recommended that everyone meet in Qingyuan, unite the soldiers, and make a detour to Pingyang Mansion together to develop and grow in Henan. ”

Xing Hongwolf's kind words and persuasion suddenly made the originally angry Eight King Kong look much better, and he didn't speak ill of each other anymore. Even the good-natured Guo Tianxing frowned slightly.

Obviously, after Xing Hongwolf's reminder, the King of the Mixed World realized that he had overreacted. Even if you don't agree with Li Zicheng's point of view and have your own decision in your heart, you shouldn't just escape and accept the favor of others, and immediately turn your face, so it seems a little unkind to refute your benefactor.

As soon as he thought of this, the excited expression of the King of the Mixed World softened a little, and he explained in a slow tone: "Leaders, don't misunderstand, I just thought that since most of the main forces of the official army are concentrated in Shanxi, we are here again, and we can return through the original road of Hequ and enter Shaanxi again." After all, we only need to go all the way to the northwest, and it will not take two days to reach the meander. If you make a detour to Pingyang Mansion and enter Henan, even if you don't stop and keep hurrying, you won't be able to reach the junction of Shanxi and Henan in five or six days. ”

Wang Ziyong nodded frequently when he heard this, Guo Tianxing and Ba Kong couldn't refute it, everyone understood a truth, late will change, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for themselves and others.

What's more, the meanders of the river are close at hand, and it doesn't take a day to reach them on horseback.

Moreover, there is another thing that everyone knows that Li Zicheng's march into Jinan will not last long at all, two days at most. Once the crisis in Zhendingfu and Suncheonfu is resolved, the officials and troops will be able to free up their hands and once again deal with themselves and others.

For a moment, the leaders began to waver, dividing into two factions.

At this time, Wang Ziyong's tired voice sounded weakly again, but it was full of irrefutable persuasiveness.

"Chiefs, there is no need to argue any more. In this way, Qingyuan is directly north of Qi County, only twenty or thirty miles away from here, it doesn't take half an hour, we can arrive, and wait for Li Chuang there for half a day, and there is nothing. When you have a round with Li Chuang, listen to his opinion. ”

Although Wang's voice ended without further explanation, everyone understood that this proposal was just right. In the end, no matter whose proposal is taken, returning to Shaanxi from Hequ, or making a detour to Pingyang Mansion to enter Henan, Qingyuan is a must-pass place!

As for just staying in Qingyuan for half a day, it was enough. After all, according to everyone's conjecture, Li Zicheng must have returned to Shanxi again in the past two days and went to Qingyuan to meet him and others.

"Okay, let's rest early, everyone is tired for the past two days."

As the king said this, everyone looked for a similar position by the fire, tilted their heads and fell asleep.
