"Am I a coward? Am I a coward?" In order to prove that he is not a coward, Zhao Xing asked one by one.

Everyone who was asked firmly denies: "No, adults are definitely not cowards."

When asked about He Renlong, He Renlong hesitated for a moment, then shouted: "Please kill Xu Mo and kill the bastard who slandered the adults as cowards and cowards."

He Renlong said this, he is so honest. He is planning to kill someone for Zhao Xing to silence him.

Zhao Xing grabbed He Renlong: "Forget it, the enemy has entered the mountainous area. It's already dark. After this battle, we are exhausted. Everyone camped on the spot. Let's continue to chase after Zheng Qianlong tomorrow." At this time, Qian Qian's households who were raising their strength had already caught up. Tomorrow, he will be the leader.

"Sir, aren't you afraid that Li Zicheng will run away?"

Zhao Xing looked at the dark night and said indifferently: "He can't run away. Now, Wang Jinzhong and Wang Shenglin have already penetrated to his side. If he wants to escape, he can only escape east. The Yellow River chasm is waiting for him."

Deep in the mountains, a sheltered place, a bonfire was burning, and Li Zicheng was drinking porridge mixed with wild vegetables and listening to Shuangxi's information.

"Dad, the information sent back by my child soldiers these days is that Zhao Xing and He Renlong are on the west side. The border troops are also found to be approaching us from the south and north side. On the Yellow River, there are already Shanxi's garrison troops, and we are surrounded by all sides."

Li Zicheng silently poured the last bite of porridge into his mouth, wiped it with the half-pulled pancake in his hand, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, swallowed it, handed the bowl to his personal soldiers, and then said to the generals sitting around him: "Look at us being surrounded by all sides, but they can't stop us. I still have to thank that bastard Li Shouyi for this."

This is really not Li Zicheng looking for self-psychological balance.

Yuan Zongdi nodded: "The general of Chuang is right. Although Li Shouyi's bastard makes us unable to control the newcomers, it makes us lose the burden. Now the five thousand soldiers in our hands are real and truly elite soldiers. After this period of time, the rest are all those who really give up following us. Everyone can fight and walk, and they encircle and suppress them from all directions. Only these thousands of mountains and those little official troops are just sesame face, and there are holes everywhere. As long as we shake off the tail behind us, the world will be allowed to walk. With these five thousand veterans, as long as we go out, they will have a foundation of 50,000 or 500,000."

After he said this, the originally depressing atmosphere immediately became active. Tian Jianxiu smiled and said, "This is really a success or a failure. In fact, Li Shouyi's method is really good. Next time we will follow this method. As for the newcomers who don't want to return home, this is easy to deal with. One is to lead the newcomers with the elderly, and the other is to get here. We immediately change places and let them leave home, and they will have to follow us all."

Li Zicheng shouted: "This method is solved, that is, reorganize these troops and train them into real troops as we did in the official army. At that time, we can fight against the official army."

Liu Zongmin slapped his thigh: "Yes, let's stick out now, and then meet with King Chuang to do a big career."

Yuan Zongdi said: "I think that after we are outstanding, our first priority is to hire a real scholar for my use, and that is the key."

Li Zicheng nodded: "Yes, to say that things are successful, people with ink must be needed. This is very critical. But it is difficult to find talents."

Shang Jiong Interview: "I practiced medicine back then, and met a scholar in Zhongxiang, Hubei. He was both very knowledgeable and intelligent. This person was different from other scholars. He was cynical and was very dissatisfied with the court. If he could be humbly politely hired, he would be able to become a military advisor of our army."

"Hubei, it's farther away, but it must be obtained from far away." Li Zicheng said and stood up: "Tele to the team, thank you for your hard work, immediately gather the team, take advantage of the darkness of the night to continue moving forward, and get rid of the enemy behind you. In the team, we said we went south to Xi'an, Shaanxi."

The old immortal Shang Jiong frowned: "Everyone is suffering from night blindness and cannot walk at night."

Li Zicheng said: "With a rope, you are led by the only blind person who never sleeps, isn't it done?"

Shang Jiong suddenly realized: "The general is really smart, let's take action immediately."

So the entire team started to move. After a while, amid the poles' complaints, the team began to continue to pull the rope.

Li Zicheng personally stood beside the road and encouraged: "We are tired, and the chasing officers are even more tired than us. We grit our teeth and insist on getting rid of them. We will have a broad sky. Grip our teeth and insist on leaving."

Tired is tired, but it is better than death, so the team's speed began to accelerate.

When the moon came up in the second half of the night, Li Zicheng's army had already walked twenty miles. After a brief rest, the army continued to move forward and finally disappeared into the vast mountains of Ziwu Ridge.

Zhao Xing was woken up in the middle of the night, and the Jinyiwei who was monitoring the enemy's report, the bandits escaped.

Zhao Xing turned over and sat up, and asked anxiously: "Do you know which direction they are running?"

The Jinyiwei replied: "According to the few poles we asked about, they said in unison that they would go south to Xi'an before our brothers to the south and go to Hubei. Not only is Hubei prosperous, but the most important thing is that they want to go to Hubei to plunder individuals."

When Zhao Xing heard this, he frowned: "Who made Li Zicheng look at him so much?"

"It is said that he is a man named Gu Junen."

Zhao Xing immediately became alert: "Gu Yan and Gu Jun'en?"

"It's said it's this person."

Gu Junen, also known as Gu Yan, a native of Zhongxiang, Hubei, was a strategy-maker. He was a scholar in Li Zicheng in his early years. Later, he defected to Li Zicheng and occupied Xiangyang. He asked to establish the Xinshun regime so that Li Zicheng would no longer be a bandit. He proposed a plan to determine Guanzhong: "Jinling is in a lowly state, and although things are successful, the loss will be slow. He went straight to the capital, but he could not win, and retreated to the place where he returned. It was urgent. Guanzhong was a king's hometown country, with two hundred and two rivers, and two thirds of the world. It is better to take it first and establish a foundation." In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng fell into Beijing, and Gu Junen was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and a bachelor of the cabinet. Later, Li Zicheng died and assisted Li Guo, and eventually failed to resist the Qing Dynasty and became a monk in Tulongshan. Later, everyone rumored that he was Li Zicheng.

"No, we must not let him join Li Zicheng's pole. Li Zicheng's pole will become a cultured pole. The person who came, rushed to send an order to the Jinyiwei of Zhongxiang, Hubei, to chase Gu Yan and Gu Junen for 800 miles a night."

Zhifeng asked: "What's the reason?"

Nowadays, the Jinyiwei no longer acts in a nonsense. He will first get evidence and then convict the person. As usual, when arresting people, he will be convicted first and then seek evidence. Therefore, everyone is used to asking for evidence first.

Zhao Xing said impatiently: "Just say he peeks at a married woman."

Zhifeng deserves to die of evidence: "Whose wife is he peeking at, who is the victim?"

Zhao Xing stamped his feet: "He has peeked at my wife. Can I be the victim?"

Zhifeng was dumbfounded.

"Thousands of households, chase them immediately. Order Wang Jinzhong to block the passage to the south."

Zhifeng immediately said: "It's impossible to do it when the night is dark."

"Turt, chase."

"The mountains ahead are steep, and there may be ambush."

"Then--" This is really a hidden danger. According to common sense, Li Zicheng will definitely leave behind the person who has broken the back. The terrain in front is almost necessary. If you occupy a high place and a big rock, you will definitely lose as much as you want. Now, Zhao Xing is feeling distressed for the previous battles, he has lost three or four hundred brothers - how much pension is needed, that is money, and he feels distressed.

Now, as he experienced war, saw life and death, and as his position grew higher and higher, Zhao Xing was gradually immersed in this era and began to treat other people's lives as numbers. However, the only difference between him and other high-ranking people was that what he least wanted to see was the expansion of the loss number because it was a high pension.
