After hearing this news, it was a time when the morale of the officers and soldiers increased, and everyone was indignant and frightened.

Although Gao Yingxiang was not a great leader of the peasant army, he was a spiritual leader in the eyes of the bandits.

The Ming court obviously knew this, so it chose to announce the criminal law against him. Although Gao Yingxiang's capture did not allow the peasant rebel army to collapse, it could definitely suppress its arrogance, or from another point of view, it could also increase the confidence of the imperial court and the emperor in suppressing bandits.

Yang Kai, Lao Huihui, Chuang Collapse Heaven and others, when they heard the news, they all frowned and fell silent. The joy of the convergence of the two armies was suddenly covered by a haze.

I don't know if it was an arrangement in the dark or a coincidence, just two days after the arrival of the Eight Kings and Cao Cao, other leaders in Henan also came.

At that time, three or four hundred thousand rebels gathered in a small Yuncheng county in the south of Ruyang Province, camped for hundreds of miles, and the scene was magnificent, and a meeting to change history began.

Early in the morning of the third day, Lao Huihui issued a summoning order, asking the troops to discuss matters in the official office, select personnel, and expand from the various roads decided at the beginning to Yang Kai, the old manager.

In the hall, there were the leaders of the thirteen families, Lao Hui sat on the upper seat, Yang Kai sat in a set of chairs brought by Lao Huihui's side, and the table was already prepared with pen and ink, probably to record the meeting.

Seeing such a young boy enter the hall and take his seat, everyone just glanced sideways and continued to whisper something, when nothing happened.

As for the others, they sat in the front seat on the left side of the collapsed sky, the Eight Great Kings and Luo Rucai sat opposite him, one looked at Yang Kai with a beard that was more than a foot long, the other made a posture of looking at the birds, and then there were Zuo Jin Wang, Ge Li Eye, Zhong Dou Xing and others lined up.

Most of them were curious with expressions of ignorance, and most of them were introduced to make it clear that they were Gao Yingen's subordinates, and they followed Lao Huihui's side, so they were looked at twice.

Something to be expected.

Everyone here can be said to be veterans of the rest of their lives, and they have no prospects, and they have never thought about relying on a milky child to do anything that they can't do. Ever since he received the news from the old Hui Hui, Yang Kai had guessed this result.

So he decided to come because he also wanted to decide his own destiny and get the armies to approve of the path he envisioned. After all, they have crossed over, no matter how bad Yang Kai's history is, he also knows who is the winner of this mighty peasant war, combined with the environment they are in now, and the situation in the location and area where the leaders of each road are distributed, they can roughly deduce how their next actions can be safely implemented.

Li Zicheng, who was trapped in the northwest Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo regions, was the hard bone of the times, and it was unimaginable that he would survive this grand encirclement and suppression, and these encounters and experiences would make his reputation more and more far-reaching, and lay the foundation for his final establishment of power.

It's like the legendary path of the Chosen One, you don't need to think about anything, you just need to move forward. This way of growing up was not in Yang Kai's thinking, after all, there were two characters around him who could be regarded as winners, and in this situation, they naturally attracted Yang Kai's attention.

If it is according to the original ideas of the Eight Great Kings and Cao Cao, it is probably that they have been circulating in the two regions of eastern Henan and the western part of Nanzhili, and the imperial court will be the first to be attacked in the future against their encirclement and suppression, and transfer troops from various border towns.

Therefore, northern Henan and eastern Henan are not ideal battlefields, according to their previous experience in the territory of Nanzhili, it can also be known that the developed water network in the south of the Yangtze River is also not conducive to their development, and the local gentry, scholars, and heroes are numerous, involving the foundation of the Ming court, and all parties come to aid and set themselves on fire.

To the west, it entered the Shaanxi battlefield, or directly into Sichuan, heavily guarded, and was not considered for the time being, so there was only one choice left.

To the south.

As far as they knew, now that the governor of Huguang had entered Shaanxi to fight, and the lake was empty, and the people who had returned to the camp had just won such a gratifying victory in Kaifeng, it was difficult for anyone to imagine that they would break their usual greedy and rash approach and quickly go south. Plus, there was always an idea in Yang Kai's mind. If you want to establish an army, a political regime or a base area, in addition to suitable terrain and natural conditions, materials and food are also indispensable.

With his foresight and Yang Kai's analysis, it is easy to foresee the situation of the melee in the Central Plains in the future, and after analyzing the current conditions, the righteous army is not superior.

His ideas have always been conservative, otherwise he would not have been wandering at the junction of Yu and Chu, but his revolutionary stance is firm, and under such circumstances, the search for a base will play the role of a seaport, and in the future it will surely become a place for the recuperation of all kinds of rude rebels.

"Come to think of it, everyone should know what we need to meet next after the old boss is punished. The reason why we have summoned you here is to hear your thoughts and plans for the future. "The old man looked back at the collapsed sky.

"As it should be, as it should be." Breaking into the sky, he rolled his eyes, spread his hands horizontally, and said perfunctory sentences.

"You are a sour talent, if you have any ideas and plans, you might as well talk to you first." Lao Hui Hui is willing to let it go, he has to stand up and speak out.

But standing up and expressing one's position at this time is not equivalent to being the mouth of the old man? In the conversation with Lao Hui and Yang Kai a few days ago, he felt that what Yang Kai said had a certain amount of truth, but it was far from the extent that he was deeply admired. It's nothing more than a different way.

Perhaps, what he thinks is far less long-term and in-depth than Lao Huihui, in his opinion, although Lao Huihui's behavior is logically tenable, but it is not kind enough, although the relationship between the two of them is good, but it is not the same as to recognize all his ideas.

What's more, asking his mother to ask someone, they are all twisting and pinching, pushing and blocking, which is really hateful.

But at this time, if you don't say anything, is it too heartless? In the end, Chuang Tiantian scolded his wife dozens of times in his heart, and for various reasons, he still chose to speak:

According to Lao Tzu, the officers and soldiers will react immediately, and we should still think of ways to ...... Twist into a strand of rope. ”

"Twisted into a rope? How to screw? Do you want to take over the position of the old boss and be our new king? Cao Cao, who rarely spoke, suddenly said a word and looked at Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king. Lao Zhang, tell me whether he Liu Chuang has this qualification. ”

Zhang Xianzhong still didn't speak, but Liu Guoneng was so anxious that he almost jumped up from the stool, and said in a loud voice: "Into your mother, what kind of old boss should Lao Tzu be, isn't there still a Zhongdouxing and an old mastermind here?" Wouldn't it be better to choose one and lead us to continue the rebellion?! ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Lao Huihui and Zhong Douxing.

Lao Huihui was silent for a while, and Gao Yingen took the lead in holding back, and said the words that Yang Kai had memorized last night:

"Everyone understands the current situation, the death of the eldest brother is a dedication to the rebellion, as heavy as Mount Tai, and what we are facing, whether it is the panicked friendly troops or the more crazy encirclement and suppression of the officers and troops, should not become an obstacle to our footsteps over the mountains and mountains.

Since we have chosen to embark on this path, it is impossible to turn back anyway, whether we are forced to be helpless or willing. Abandoning weapons and surrendering is the act of a coward, an act that encourages the arrogance of the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress us, and it is even more disrespectful to the death of the old boss.

Just think about it, you can know, what do we have if we lose the identity of the rebels? Back to the dilapidated home that has long been destroyed by natural disasters and bandits, waiting for the imperial court tax order to fall on our shoulders again? Or follow the mediocre emperor, waiting to be beheaded by the Tartars?

That's something that only a guy with no goods in his crotch can do, don't you think? ”
