In Dengfeng County, in the foothills of Zhongyue Songshan, a group of black shadows were scattered in the forest, as if they were monkeys in the mountains.

After a closer look, they were all a group of men who were running for their lives in a hurry!

These people were panting, supporting each other, and walked quickly to the west. From time to time, some people were moved down by branches, and their companions did not dare to stop for a moment and dragged them away!

Li Jiyu stood on the knife and walked forward with deep and shallow feet. His figure was really embarrassed. He lost his mules and horses, and his shoes also fell off. Where could he have the majesty of the Dengfeng giant bandit?

At this time, he walked in front of the team, suddenly stopped, and gasped and asked, "Where is the military advisor?"

Mr. Tang, who lost his hat, looked pale and was sitting on the ground with his feet on cotton. He rolled his eyes and said, "Big~ Big boss, you should be about to get a copycat."

Li Jiyu asked again: "Black tiger, neither the unlucky people nor the official army are chasing me!"

Heihu supported his body with a knife and gasped: "No~ I didn't chase him, I was thrown away by us!"

When Li Jiyu heard this, he fell to the ground and gasped.

No one chased after them, and they arrived near the mountain village again. It can be said that they had escaped from danger and escaped from Gaolaozhuang.

As soon as he sat down, the gangsters stopped, and there was no way, so they really couldn't run.

Everyone immediately sat on the ground, while some were so tired that they lay on the ground.

At this time, Li Jiyu looked at his subordinates carefully, his face gradually turned pale. More than 200 brothers were left, with less than 40% of them remaining, and most of them were left in Gao Laozhuang.

Looking at the embarrassing appearance of the brothers, Li Jiyu felt heartbroken and gritted his teeth, "Damn Gao Laocai, I will definitely not let him go!"

Heihu also cursed, "The boss, these landlords are so damn bad. If you don't be honest, you must kill them and avenge your brothers."

Revenge? Li Jiyu felt a secret. Why didn’t he want to take revenge? But this time the copycat suffered too much loss, and the troublemakers in Gao Laozhuang were too evil, and they were even more powerful than the official army.

Nowadays, let alone revenge, it is hard to say whether you can protect yourself or not.

Military Commander Tang gasped for a while, gradually recovered his calmness and waved his feather fan again, "The boss should not be discouraged. These local tyrants and evil gentry are arrogant for a while, but they will never be arrogant for a lifetime. Now that the disaster is caused by various places, there is no harvest in the fields, the people will soon have no food to eat. At that time, the boss will be able to gather tens of thousands of people, but will he still not be able to defeat Gao Laozhuang?"

After hearing this, Li Jiyu swelled his cheeks and gritted his teeth and said, "No, right! The Eight Kings came out of the mountain to disrupt the world. I believe the King of Chuang is about to come out. At that time, chaos in Henan will begin, and the government will run away without the official army. I will have to peel off Gao Laocai's skin!"

...

Shangluo Mountain is located at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan. It has undulating mountains, barren land and sparsely populated areas.

In recent years, the Central Plains and Guanzhong have been suffering from natural disasters and severe droughts. The vassal kings are unkind and have used the famine to annex the land. The court has levitated violent taxes to fill military salaries, and the people are suffering.

However, God did not favor the poor people who were in dire straits and storms swept across Henan. The locust plague and drought in Shandong came down, and the people went bankrupt one after another, and refugees in Henan once again rose.

Henan Governor Li Xianfeng and other officials from the three departments realized the crisis and felt that the situation had become like a long time of dryness and a little bit of it was burning.

Li Xianfeng wrote to the court, requesting disaster relief and exemption from food. The court refused the request of the Henan Sansi because he wanted to rescue Jinzhou and the officers and soldiers were short of food.

Li Xianfeng then persuaded him to provide relief to the vassal of vassals and the land of the gentry's wealthy families, so he planted less cotton, tobacco and a variety of grains. However, the vassals ignored it and continued to plant high-value cotton and sold it to the gentry in Jiangnan.

Deep in the stretch of western Henan Mountains, there is a huge mountain village hidden.

The village is surrounded by a circle of wooden fences. A viewing building is erected on the left and right fronts of the village gate. An apricot yellow flag is inserted in front of the Juyi Hall in the village, with a large word "博" written on it. There are several flags and banners next to it, with propaganda slogans such as "Performing the Way for Heaven" and "Helping the People".

This is the famous King of Chuang Li Zicheng, who is in the deep Shangluo Mountains.

Since he was defeated by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng took his subordinates to the mountain. When his banner fell, the bandits of all sizes in the world were immediately honest, and those who had been hiding the mountain, those who surrendered and those who resisted the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty stopped moving forward.

Li Zi became a evading the encirclement of the government army. Cat was in the mountains for nearly two years. He took his wife again and gave birth to a baby in the mountains. While hiding dormant, he was waiting for the opportunity.

However, the drought has not rained recently, and the people at the foot of the mountain cannot withstand it. The living conditions on the mountain naturally become more difficult and have reached a difficult point.

At this time, on the small path in front of the village, a rough-faced man in his forties led a team of ragged and thin refugees, hunched over and carrying a few bags of food, and walked to the gate of the village with his feet.

At this time, a group of refugees in the village surrounded him and cheered, "The King of Chuang returned with his food!"

A group of refugees hurriedly took the food bag, Li Zicheng took off Fan Yang's hat, and said with a heroic smile: "I instruct the kitchen to cook the porridge more today so that everyone can have a full meal!"

"Thank you, King Chuang!" The refugees in the village cheered and carried the food to the kitchen.

Li Zicheng walked into the Juyi Hall and hung Fan Yang's hat on the pillar. Then he said to Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and others who followed him: "The price of grain has risen again. If there is no more money, we don't have to wait until winter, we can't even survive this month."

Liu Zongmin frowned and said, "The King of Chuang went down the mountain and didn't get the silver coins?"

Li Zicheng looked sinister, "The refugees came from the foot of the mountain, the government strengthened their vigilance, and the wealthy families built villages to protect themselves, while the common people were so poor that they had already dug grass roots and ate tree bark, so where could they get money and food?"

Liu Zongmin was anxious, "What should I do?"

Li Zicheng lowered his head and thought for a while, pondered: "What else can I do? I can only lead the crowd out of the mountain and return to my old career!"

Li Guo was excited, "What's the decision of the King of Chuang?"

In the battle of Nanyuan, Tongguan, the rebel army was defeated too badly. Only more than ten people fled into the mountains from the encirclement of the official army, which made the rebel generals lose their courage.

A year ago, Zhang Xianzhong rose up again, and Luo Rucai wrote a letter asking them to raise an army together. No one in the rebel army agreed, but continued to stop, hide in the deep mountains, waiting for the opportunity.

Li Zicheng nodded, "This time I went down the mountain, I saw groups of refugees passing by at the foot of the mountain, with yellow-faced and thin people everywhere, and starving corpses can often be seen on both sides of the road. Those vassal kings are unkind and powerful, and only seek to protect themselves. The court did nothing except taxes. The old Zhu family has long lost the hearts of the people. It should be my old Li in the world."

Li Zicheng glanced at everyone with a domineering look and said in a deep voice: "Now, refugees are rising again in all counties. This is a sign of chaos! The yellow tiger rushes to the left and right in Shu, and the elite soldiers of the Central Plains were all drawn by Yang. Now the Central Plains are empty. At this time, I will come out of the mountain and climb up the high and shout. If the refugees return, they will surely gather millions and sweep across the Central Plains."
