Chapter 119
It has been nearly three years since Li Zicheng left Shangluo Mountain. During this period, the Chuangjun first harmed the western area of ​​Henan, then Luoyang, and recently flooded Kaifeng in the eastern part of Yuzhou. It can be said that most of the entire Zhongzhou The state capital had been ravaged and dilapidated by the invading army, so that after Sun Chuanting left Tongguan, he found that the place was devastated and could not get supplies at all.

Right now, most parts of Yuzhou are barren due to natural disasters and wars. Only the southern part of Yuzhou still has food.

In December, in Nanyang City, 80 million rogues came one after another. A large number of rogues were active in the Nanyang Basin. The bandit army seized food everywhere, and the states and counties were dilapidated.

At this time, with Sun Chuanting's defeat, the Ming Dynasty had no troops to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, and the bandit army had completely opened up the situation.

The decision of how to fight next is not in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but in the hands of Li Zicheng. If he fights Shaanxi, the Ming Dynasty will lose Shaanxi. If he fights Xiangyang, the Ming Dynasty will lose Xiangyang. The Ming Dynasty has no ability to fight back.

At this time, the only problem that troubled Li Zicheng was the food needed for marching and fighting.Now the big households in the west of Yuzhou and the north of Yuzhou have been wiped out by Li Zicheng, and the east of Henan has been transformed into Zeguo, and the bandits can only go south to eat.

Outside the majestic Nanyang City, a group of thieves gathered, and the camps of various thieves spread all over the outside of Nanyang City like stars and moons.

These camps have different shapes and are surrounded by fences. The big ones, such as Cao Ying and Luo Rucai, span more than ten miles and have tens of thousands of tents.

To the east of Nanyang City, Liu Heizi and Zhao Yingyuan each pitched a camp.After the great victory in Yancheng, the two immediately dispatched troops to the west, wanting to show their faces in front of Li Zicheng, but they did not catch up with the decisive battle.

When they arrived in Xiangcheng, Li Zicheng had already gone to chase Sun Chuanting, and the two also hurriedly chased after him, but when they caught up with Li Zicheng, the decisive battle between the official army and the bandit lord was over.

The two only saw the corpses of the Chuangjun and the Guanjun covering the entire field. The two who missed the decisive battle were captured by Li Zicheng and worked as coolies for several days before clearing the battlefield.

Although he didn't help much, Li Zicheng understood the two people's feelings and remembered them.After Li Zicheng conquered Nanyang, he began to award rewards for his merits. Because of his meritorious service in ambushing Zuo Liangyu and his lordship, Zhao Yingyuan was promoted by Li Zicheng to General Guoyi of the fourth rank and transferred back to the Zhongquan Camp to obey orders. Du Wei, promoted to the fifth-rank mighty general, replaced Zhao Yingyuan in guarding Guide Yifu, fulfilling his dream of being a general.

This made Liu Heizi a little complacent, and he felt happy when he thought of climbing on Gao Yihuan's head again.

This time when discussing meritorious deeds, Zhao Yingyuan and Liu Heizi tacitly took the credit for the great victory in Yancheng to themselves, and did not improve Yihuan much.

Liu Heizi knew that Gao Yihuan was capable, but he had to let the people above see him.If you can't see it, even if you have the ability, it's hard to stand out.

Liu Heizi admits that he is indeed not as good as Gao Yihuan in terms of personal ability, but he is far superior to Gao Yihuan when it comes to seeking a job and currying favor with officials.

Liu Heizi was proud of himself that day, thinking that after returning to Germany, he would become Gao Yihuan's boss again, and Gao Yihuan would have to work for him again, so he felt happy for a while.

Liu Heizi was in a happy mood, humming a little song, and while walking in the camp, he thought that after returning to Germany, he had to keep a close eye on Gao Yihuan, so that he could not slip away from his hands, and be equal to him again.

"All~" Liu Heizi was walking, when a soldier suddenly caught up, he just said a word, when he saw Liu Heizi turned around with an unhappy face, he was startled, and quickly changed his words: "General~ General, Gao The captain has come to Nanyang, and he has brought a lot of things to dedicate to the king!"

Liu Heizi's face was full of doubts when he heard this, "The sophomore came to Nanyang and brought a lot of things?"

"Yes, General Zhao has already gone to see it. You will have to pass by our side later. I heard that there are more than 100 vehicles."

Liu Heizi became a general, and his whole person was a little drifting again. He had only been separated from his second brother for more than a month, and he thought he knew the details of his second brother. True, but with a hundred carts, who are you bluffing? Is he transporting firewood?"

Liu Heizi cursed with a smile, then waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's go and see my brother Gao, and tell him the good news that I have become a general, haha~"

Immediately Liu Heizi left the camp, led several subordinates, and came to the road leading to the city gate. He saw that many people had gathered on both sides of the road, and the bandit camp outside the city was already a sensation.

Zhao Yingyuan, Liu Heizi, Chen Baoping, and others from Guide Mansion almost all rushed out. In addition, many other bandits also came to the side of the road. Even Yuan Shizhong from Xiaoyuanying frowned, watching the convoy coming from afar .

Everyone looked to the west. Gao Yihuan, who was wearing silver armor, was riding proudly on a good horse, followed by two hundred cavalrymen, and then there was a long line of carts, one after another, piercing the armor. Under the guard of the soldiers, there was no end in sight.

This time the second brother Gao was very high-profile, and a lot of property was directly exposed to the outside. The purpose was to let the gang of thieves know that he had donated a large amount of property to Li Zicheng.

In this way, the second elder brother's reputation has become famous, which is convenient for gathering a group of thieves in the future, and Li Zicheng has to give him some response, he has to be an official.

So many people watched him donate property, but Li Zicheng didn't reward him greatly. In the future, when the gang of thieves got benefits, who would hand it over to Li Zicheng?
At this time, there was a commotion on both sides of the road. When they saw the whole cart of silver ingots, the whole box of pearls, and the three-foot-high coral, they immediately went crazy.Many rogues were attracted by the things on the car, pointing at the items on the car one after another, and exclaiming from time to time.

Brother Gao rode on the horse, clasped his hands left and right, and greeted the rogues on both sides, as if he was a general returning to the court after victory, accepting the cheers of the people.

Inquiring voices sounded from both sides, asking where did so much money and property come from, while Zhao Zhuzi and the others at the back were full of complacency, saying that they had taken down the Runing Mansion and the treasury of Chongwang Fan .

Standing together, Liu Heizi and Zhao Yingyuan saw the situation in front of them and heard everyone's amazement, they couldn't help but looked at each other in amazement.

Zhao Yingyuan's heart was shocked, "God Ridi Guisun, what's going on? We've only been separated for more than a month, why did this guy take down Chongwang Mansion?"

Liu Heizi cursed in his heart, "It's not kind! I said why the second grader didn't come with me, and gave me the opportunity to show my face. It turns out that I have other plans in my heart!"

For a while, Zhao Yingyuan and Liu Heizi had mixed feelings in their hearts, but looking at the situation before them, Gao Yihuan donated so much property to Chuang Wangjin, how could they not understand that Gao Yihuan must be promoted this time.

At this time, Brother Gao was riding on the horse, waving his hands while moving forward, and he had already arrived in front of them.The two couldn't help but looked at each other, and suddenly they both said haha, and walked out with big smiles on their faces.

"Haha~ Brother Gao, Brother Liu is here to pick you up."

"Yi Huan! You did a good job, you're really good, you've made me look good~"
