In the mountains south of Yiyang, Luo Zhixue took Lin Yuer to a huge rock and sat on the ground and rested. Not far ahead of him was Sun Zhen. More than ten people around him were Sun Zhen's confidants, and they were also resting and drinking water and eating dry food.

It is obvious that these ten people belong to the Sun Jian faction.

Although Luo Zhixue did not make any choice, he naturally became a member of the Sun founding faction.

This has been confirmed since he was assigned by Li Tonglin to Sun Zhi to be responsible for the registration of the baggage. Later, he cooperated with Sun Zhi to find out Fang Ada and other big rats in the army, which further deepened this point.

Others in the army, including Sun Cheng, naturally regarded him as their own. Luo Zhixue was able to escape smoothly along the way and gained cover from Sun Cheng's faction during the previous breakthrough. This was all because of this.

Luo Zhixue understands this very well.

And now, Sun Cheng is obviously in a crisis!

Crisis of seizing the throne!

Not long ago, after they had escaped from the pursuit of officers and soldiers, the three remaining leaders in the rebel army, namely Sun Jian, Fei Bingcai and Scar, got together to discuss the follow-up plan briefly.

However, other follow-up plans are not important, they are just to continue to escape along the way and completely get rid of the officers and soldiers.

The problem is that the rebel army with more than 70 people is now without a leader.

And the three remaining leaders all competed for the position of the leader.

After all, the three of them were Li Tonglin's confidants before, Sun Cheng was in charge of the baggage affairs, Fei Bingcai and Scar were both the main generals who led the brigade of refugees. They really belonged to the second echelon of this rebel army.

As for the first echelon, only Li Tonglin.

As soon as Li Tonglin died, coupled with the personal soldiers of the commander Li Tonglin, Wang Sange, who held the greatest military power, also died in battle with Li Tonglin. The remaining Sun Zhen, Fei Bingcai and Scar became the only senior leaders among the defeated generals of this group of soldiers.

The problem is that they all want to be the leader, but they don’t have enough strength to get directly.

This is also the reason why the three of them left unhappily when they discussed countermeasures just now.

Luo Zhixue even felt that if they were not still in the mountains and these three people were still ambitious and unwilling to leave the team and take a few confidants to be little thieves, they would probably have disbanded directly on the spot.

The question is, should I do this now?

Luo Zhixue was thinking about this issue while eating dry food.

First of all, he did not intend to escape from this team and run away on his own.

This time, the future is uncertain after he took Lin Yuer to leave the team.

In addition, Luo Zhixue was very interested in the Rebel Army in front of him.

After a previous breakthrough, this rebel army seemed to have changed from more than a thousand people to more than seventy people now, but among these seventy people, except for a few Luo Zhixue and others, the others were all cavalry!

These cavalry were all elite soldiers of Yulin border troops before, and their combat power was at least not much worse than the elite soldiers of the more than 100 cavalry soldiers under the previous official army.

if……

If this elite cavalry could be controlled in its hands... maybe something unusual could be done.

For example: Rebellion!

Since God has allowed me to reach the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty, whether it is for the country and the people, for some of my ambitions, or simply to make myself live a more comfortable life, Luo Zhixue always feels that he should do something.

And nothing can realize your many ambitions better than rebellion.

But as the saying goes, a hero and two men want to play difficult things like rebellion, there must be someone under his command.

Luo Zhixue asked himself that he would not be able to run into a group of people. He could just say a few words of fake and empty words and could be treated as a son of destiny and be used as cannon fodder for him...

Therefore, Luo Zhixue did not intend to break away from this rebel army directly for the time being. He also wanted to use this rebel army and build his own power through Sun Jian.

Since he did not intend to leave this rebel army and planned to build his own power through Sun Jian, there is a problem now facing Luo Zhixue.

Sun Jian was competing with Fei Bingcai and Scar for the position of leader, and success or failure was not only related to Sun Jian, but also to his future plans of Luo Zhixue.

At this time, helping Sun Jian is helping him.

At this time, Luo Zhixue looked at Sun Zhi in front of him, thought for a while, then immediately stepped forward and walked to Sun Zhi's side: "Brother Sun."

Sun Cheng glanced at Luo Zhixue slightly and nodded slightly. Although he squeezed out a smile, the sad face between his eyebrows still couldn't dissipate: "Brother Luo, you're tired all the way."

Luo Zhixue shook his head: "My brother, although my body is weaker, I can still walk a few steps."

As he said that, Luo Zhixue looked at Sun Zhi again, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Brother Sun, you must make a quick decision. Now that he succeeds, he will be the leader of the army. If he is defeated, he will be unable to live here."

Sun Cheng knew very well what Luo Zhixue said. It was no secret that he and Fei Bingcai and Scar competed for the position of leader. Just now, Luo Zhixue watched the three people's verbal disputes behind him.

When Sun Cheng heard Luo Zhixue's words, he put down the dry food in his hand and said, "I understand this matter naturally, but it's not easy to do. Those two people will not surrender easily."

Luo Zhixuedao: "The key to this matter is not the two men who are slaughtered, but the remnants of the general's personal soldiers."

"Now the remnants of the general's personal soldiers have no leader. If we can accept it, the big thing can be decided!"

"At that time, Fei Dao and the other two will either stay under the general, or escape in a panic, or die under the chaos of swords, but no matter what, we will be invincible!"

"In addition, there are more than forty personal soldiers, plus our old subordinates, and the foundation has been established."

Sun Cheng nodded slightly as he heard this: "That's the reason!"

Luo Zhixue's words reached his heart, but in fact Sun Cheng had the same plan!

Sun Jian was very clear about the current situation. If he wanted to compete for the position, it was very important to gain the support of Li Tonglin's personal soldiers of more than 40 people, and even his only choice at the moment.

At this time, Luo Zhixue continued: "The importance of those personal soldiers is probably not only known by us, so it is better not to be late. While they have not taken action, they should directly place a heavy bet and settle the matter first."

"Although there are no leaders in the personal soldiers now, there are still a few sentry officers. As long as these people are pulled over, the big thing will be halfway."

Sun Jian said: "How to pull it? You have to know that we are not the only ones who think so. The other two sides may not think so. If we can pull it, they can do it."

Luo Zhixue said: "We take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we prescribe the right medicine. If they want money, we will give money; if they want the right to speak, we will give him power."

"And on the other hand, it is also the most important thing that we give them a future!"

"We can't escape like this, right? We can escape for a while, but we can't escape for a lifetime!"

When Sun Cheng heard these words, his interest was already coming.

"future?"

What future does these people have? They are just hiding from officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress, plundering food, grass, gold and silver, and continuing to recruit soldiers. How long can this last?

As for the future?

To be honest, even Sun Jian himself doesn't know what to do in the future.

At most, according to the method that Li Tonglin had decided before, he went south to Chubei, either to join Zhang Xianzhong and other big leaders in the rebel army, or to fish in the chaotic North of Chu.

Sun Cheng immediately said, "Brother Luo, what are your plans?"

Luo Zhixue immediately wrote down his thoughtful plan: "Our biggest trouble now is the encirclement of officers and soldiers. When he was in Henan Prefecture, he was chased by Zuo Liangyu, and when he arrived in Ruzhou, he was chased by Chen Zhibang."

"Our strength is limited. Even if we are all elite cavalry, we cannot withstand the encirclement of multiple official troops, so we still have to avoid the edge."

"We want to find a remote place to cultivate and maintain a period of time, and act in a low-key manner to recruit soldiers and accumulate food."

"After all the time, the big reason why we were chased by the government army was that there were many people and large targets, and there were many people and large food consumption. We were forced to attack cities and datianzhuang, otherwise there would be no food and grass. In this way, the government army would naturally target us."

"But now we are only a few dozen people, and the food and grass consumption is not large. We can do it in a low-key manner. If it really doesn't work, we can still use gold and silver to buy food and grass."

"As long as we keep a low profile, we can get several months of cultivation and rest time. With this time, it is enough for us to do a lot of things."

Sun Jian nodded slightly: "I also told the general that there were no need to recruit those young and strong refugees. Those young and strong refugees seemed to have a large number of people, but they could not fight. Before I could see the generals and soldiers, I ran away first."

"And there are more people and eat a lot. In order to support them, our old brothers with more than a hundred people have to attack the villages and towns, otherwise there would be no enough food."

Luo Zhixue said: "Brother Sun said so much. We fight with the government army and bring a group of refugee soldiers. It is useless. We must be elite and have enough mules and horses, so that we can advance and retreat freely."

In Shaanxi and Henan, where the government army is still relatively strong, it is unreliable to directly pull a large number of refugees and young men to conquer cities and land. Even if they are defeated by the government army, they will have to starve themselves to death, because the more people they eat, the more they eat.

With thousands or tens of thousands of people, you have to constantly attack the cities where the official army is stationed to obtain enough food.

Once the conquest of the city is not smooth, the government army will not need to take the initiative to encircle itself, and they will have to collapse due to shortage of food first.

The most important thing is that these refugees have no combat power, and it is unreliable to expect them to fight a strong city.

Therefore, Luo Zhixue believes that at present, we still have to take the route of maneuvering elite soldiers, which has strong combat power, high mobility, small goals, and it is easier to replenish food and grass.
