As soon as the Pei Jiajun took action, Zuo Liangyu received news from the scouts. Zuo Liangyu informed Tang Jiuzhou and Zhang Yingchang of the news.

"Two general soldiers, what should we do?" In the big tent, Zuo Liangyu looked at Tang and Zhang asked, "Should we chase him, or should we ignore him and just let the Pei family army leave?" .”.

Tang Jiuzhou was the first to speak, "In my opinion, if we attack the Pei family army with all our strength, we may be able to fight, but now that an old Huihui has come from the west, our current situation can be said to be attacked from two sides. If we are not careful, we may be overturned. Even if there is a disaster, we still have to play it safe.”

After this period of fighting with Feng Kebin, the combat effectiveness and resilience of the Pei family army have become extremely fearful of these three people. However, the army led by Feng Kebin is a partial division of the Pei family army, and Pei Xiaoer's trip has brought rumors that They are the main force of the Pei family's army. They are not willing to lead their own soldiers to confront the main force of the Pei family's army head-on.

These soldiers in their hands were trained hard by them and were the guarantee of their status and wealth. Once they were all used up, there would be no place for them to replenish them. What's more, it would be easy for the court to deal with them without soldiers. Since the early years of Chongzhen, Since the Shaanxi Rebellion, many generals who had no soldiers in their hands were beheaded by the imperial court. How many generals were regarded as pillars by the imperial court because they had soldiers in their hands. They are not stupid. They know what to do and what not to do. They are very divided. clear.

Zhang Yingchang immediately helped the robbers and said: "This makes sense. We are the army of the imperial court. If someone loses his master and humiliates the country, we will be punished." After Zhang Yingchang said this, he looked at the people who were listening. Zuo Liangyu continued: "Besides, we received a message from Lu Xiangsheng two days ago, asking us to help detain Pei Xiaoer. We have been cooperating with Lu Xiangsheng for so many days. We have exhausted our benevolence and righteousness. Next It’s time for us to think about our soldiers.”

"What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true. That old Hui Hui committed all kinds of crimes in Huguang by killing, burning, looting, and we, as officers and soldiers, want to eliminate harm for the people and capture this thief. So since Pei Xiaoer wants to escape, let's let him go for the time being. Ma, I’ll deal with him again when I have the opportunity in the future.”

"What do you think, General Zuo?" Zhang Yingchang suddenly asked.

"I listen to both of you," Zuo Liangyu laughed, and did not speak out his thoughts rashly. If the court asks for guilt in the future, this will be the decision of the two of them, and he can only' I had no choice but to obey.

"Okay, in that case, let's not move for now. After Pei Xiaoer has gone far, we will go west to meet Lao Huihui who came here to see how much he weighs." Tang Jiuzhou laughed.

"That's right." "Listen to Mr. Tang's words." Zhang and the two on the left said in unison, and then looked at each other with tacit smiles.

After Zhu Tianlin led the remaining Tianxiong army to spend the night in Yunguan, he led his army to burn Yunguan to the ground early the next morning. After the heroes gathered together, they moved northward overnight and withdrew to the Henan area, heading towards Xuchang.

At this point, the most fatal blow to the Pei family army by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had dissipated, and the next such fatal blow would not be as easy as now.

Pei Xiaoer led his army to the vicinity of Xiangyang and received news that the Tianxiong Army in Yunyang had withdrawn from Yunyang and headed south of Henan. The danger in Yunyang had dissipated. Everyone in the Pei family's army breathed a sigh of relief.

The march also slowed down, and finally they camped in Xiangyang for a night's rest.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional move frightened the civil and military officials in Xiangyang City so much that the prefect of Xiangyang sent all the government officials out and urgently mobilized 10,000 people in the city to climb up the city wall to guard the city, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

That night, Song Meng followed up from behind with his cavalry, "General, as you expected, Zuo Liangyu is very timid. After our army withdrew, Zuo Liangyu's camp did not move at all. General

We kept guard for three days and then withdrew."

"Then don't worry about him. The officers and soldiers are not united. Otherwise, how could we rebels survive until now?" Pei Xiaoer smiled, "Forget it, let's not talk about them. Did you have Ye Chonghua when you came back?

News about Feng Kebin and others?" In fact, when he said this, Pei Xiaoer didn't have any hope, he just asked casually, and unexpectedly Song Meng actually brought him good news.

"Yes." Song Meng asserted, "When the general came back, he sent people to Dahong Mountain to ask. According to General Ye, they had discovered traces of Feng Kebin's army and were now following the traces.

, I believe there will be news soon."

"Okay, okay." Pei Xiaoer looked in the direction of Dahong Mountain, "Feng Kebin is a hero of our Pei family army. He has made great contributions to our Pei family army. I will live up to him."

Henan, Xuchang.

It has been more than two months since the 140,000 to 50,000 rebels were besieged in Xuchang. The rebels who had just begun to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers have now become much more honest. Seeing that the more and more imperial troops are surrounding them, the army has no chance to break out.

I have already missed it. If this continues, I am afraid that the rebels will be buried here again.

However, what was even worse was the food and grass in the army. Hundreds of thousands of people ate horse chews. The food in the army had long been exhausted, and the soldiers below began to kill horses for food. Some of the poorly prepared rebels even

Started eating the legendary two-legged sheep.

"How about I lead the brothers and charge again, this time I must break through the turtle shell of the officers and soldiers." On a flat ground, hundreds of men with different looks and costumes sat together and discussed, the only thing that was the same was

What's more, their faces reveal an air of decadence.

The one who spoke was none other than the original general Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's strength has been greatly reduced since the last defeat in Kaifeng. The key is that the elites of the old battalion who followed him have suffered heavy losses, so now Li Zicheng has kept a much lower profile. However, it is necessary to rise up to resist the Ming Dynasty.

**, but Li Zicheng is the most determined one among this group of people.

"Hongji, please sit down first." Among the crowd, Gao Yingxiang sat in the most conspicuous center, looked at Li Zicheng and said, "How many times have we charged and killed in these days, and how many times have we not been blocked by officers and soldiers? Are you taking such a risk?"

What's the point of rushing over recklessly?"

"Then we can't just sit back and wait for death, right?" Li Zicheng retorted, "Seeing that the camp is starting to run out of food and weapons, if we continue to waste like this, we will die sooner or later. Since we are going to die sooner or later, we might as well just fight out.

At least he died with a bang."

"Old Li is right." Zhang Xianzhong laughed with a yellow face, "In these days, we have money, we have killed officials, we have experienced the taste of power, and even women have

I don’t know how much I slept, but if I die like this, my life will be worth it.”

"Everyone sit down, we haven't reached that point yet." Gao Yingxiang said with a cold face.

The two of them were still a little afraid of Gao Yingxiang's words. After hearing this, they could only sit down angrily without speaking, just sitting in silence.

The crowd was silent for a moment. At this time, someone said in a low voice: "If we had known earlier, we shouldn't have had a head-on confrontation with the officers and soldiers and just ran away. How could such a thing happen?"

"Who said that?" Gao Yingxiang's face suddenly dropped. It was Gao Yingxiang who made the decision in the first place. If he said this at this time, wouldn't he question whether the decision he made by Gao Yingxiang was wrong? "You have the guts to say it, but you don't have the guts to admit it.

No? When I decided to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers, I told you all and agreed to something. Why did you turn your back and refuse to admit it now that something happened?"

Gao Yingxiang asked several times in the crowd. Seeing that no one dared to admit this, he continued, "Besides, we are not at that level yet. We still have hundreds of thousands of people in our hands. If we really fight until the fish is dead, who will die?"

It’s really uncertain who will survive. Don’t worry, everyone, since you chose me as the rebel leader, I will definitely lead everyone to escape from this siege.”

"King Chuang, we believe you, tell us what we should do next?" someone in the crowd asked.

"The next thing we have to do is wait." Gao Yingxiang said resoundingly.

"Wait?" The crowd began to commotion.
