"Sir, how can you drink without meat? Come and taste it." A hundred households named Zhao diligently cut off the freshest piece of mutton and served it on a silver plate, and respectfully delivered it to Dong Jian.

Needless to say, the best meat belongs to Dong Jian, because he has the highest status here.

The courtesan took it, skillfully cut a small piece, picked it up with silver chopsticks and sent it to Dong Jian's mouth with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sir, I will feed you."

Dong Jian just opened his mouth and ate the freshest and delicious meat. He was in a very happy mood. Looking at the beauty dressed in a man in order to cover up her eyes and hear, she felt a different kind of interest. After eating, she pinched her buttocks hard. The courtesan exclaimed in pain, but Dong Jian laughed so happily, and the subordinates laughed.

There was a woman who was keen and tactful during the meal, and the atmosphere was much better.

After teasing for a long time, Dong Jian finally remembered the important matter and asked, "By the way, have you ever had any news about mud feet recently?"

The peasant uprising army had different scales, different clothing, different weapons, old and young, men and women, each with yellow and hungry face. Dong Jian looked down on them from the bottom of his heart and always regarded them as mud-legged.

"Reply to the words of the master," Li Baihu, who was responsible for inquiring about the news, bowed and replied: "According to the information we have received, there are several small mobs here recently. However, we have just arrived here and are not familiar with the terrain and have not found their traces yet. However, the subordinates promised that they will be found soon and wiped out them, and used their stubborn heads to add a note to the master's credit book."

Dong Jian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's not bad. As long as you do it well, I will definitely be rewarded."

"Sir Xie."

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting in the corner raised his head and said with some confusion: "Sir, I heard that in order not to fight against each other, each of these bandits has its own range of activities. There are several different forces in this small Xiaoyi County. Is there anything strange about this? I hope you will be careful to engage in it."

Others say good things, following Dong Jian's words, but the middle-aged man in front of him said this for a very simple reason. He is Tan Feng, the deputy captain of Han Wendeng's guard. Han Wendeng sent him to bring his private guard to protect the safety of his "good brother-in-law". It can be said that he is a relatively special existence in this army.

The Li Baihu paused for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "I heard that there are more than a hundred thieves in Shanxi, and sometimes they encounter unexpectedly. It is not impossible. It is also possible that they are just a group of people and act in dispersed ways, but when they see us, they all run away without a trace, and they seem to be afraid of us."

"Hahaha, don't worry, sir, the court has sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, and it is like an iron bucket. They are like a dog that is strayed. It's only a matter of time to be wiped out, and I can't make any waves. Besides, this is Xiaoyi County, only more than 30 miles away from Fenzhou City. If anything, the army of Fenzhou is about to arrive. There are two royal palaces in Fenzhou City. The court has heavy troops in Fenzhou City. How dare those rebels move under the noses of Fenzhou City? Take a step back. The more than 2,000 people are all elite soldiers and generals who are ten, and the commander's personal guards are here. Those mud legs can't hide. If they come to the door, we are just asking for it." The speaker was Han Ping, the head of the Thousand Households of Chaotianmen. He was Dong Jian's most important subordinate, and he also went to the expedition this time.

These words were analyzed with great clarity. When everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, they relaxed. Dong Jian said, "This is Xiaoyi County, only a few dozen miles from Fenzhou City. The two princes inside happened to visit. Maybe there was a chance, but this meeting gift..."

Dong Jian was not interested in fighting wars, but he was very enthusiastic about promotion and wealth and refused to miss any opportunity. He planned to do so early in the morning that if these royal relatives in Shanxi spoke to him and said a few good things to him, especially in terms of eliminating rebels and protecting royal relatives, he could say a thousand words to him. At that time, the emperor was very happy and might be promoted to him in an instant. If he had power, he would have money, and if he had everything, he would have everything. It would be so wonderful.

As Dong Jian's confidant, Han Ping didn't know what his adult meant. He wanted the horse to run away and did not let the horse eat grass. He wanted to meet noble people but was reluctant to spend money. He saw his eyes rolling a few times, and soon had an idea and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, this is easy. As long as we find those mud legs, we can seize them from them. They usually keep the things they snatched around us, and it's just a bargain, and it's easy to deal with us. Hehe, he was driving them to those wealthy families. He said that the thief could kill them, and he said that they colluded with the mob to rebel, and they had to be flattened. Isn't the adults' final decision?"

All those present were Dong Jian’s confidants, and it doesn’t matter if these words were said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present burst into laughter. Dong Jian kicked Han Ping with his feet, and said while laughing: "You kid, you are full of bad water, hahaha..."

Although it is a kick, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Commander-in-law appreciates Han Qianhu, which is a relative who surpasses his superiors and subordinates.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere began to become warmer again. One by one, they started to raise their glasses, drink, and sing again. When they were in high spirits, Dong Jian even started to build a farmhouse and called his subordinates to gamble. The group started to make a fuss until the second update.

No one saw that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark...

Zi Jinliang sat on the top of the mountain, looking down at the Sichuan Army camp that had recovered from peace below, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: These guys are still unaware of it until they die.

This year, the winter in Shanxi is very cold. Sichuan is a basin and the climate is warmer than Shanxi. This also shows that the Sichuan soldiers are more afraid of the cold. These Sichuan soldiers set up their camps in a mountain nest, surrounded by mountains on three sides and have only one exit. They are randomly removed and one pocket. As long as they tie the bag tightly, they can take the people inside.

"Brother Wang, these people are so careless. They chose such a terrain, but their defenses are so relaxed. It is really a way to go in heaven, and he will go in hell without a way, which is just in line with our wishes." The speaker was tall and thin, with a long face and yellow face, and three long beards left on his chin. It felt like the nutrients were all on the beard.

Speaking is known as the "yellow tiger". Zhang Xianzhong, who is now known as the Eight Kings of Xiying, can only speak to the Zijin Liang King in this tone. Behind him, there are strong men with strong figures and solemn expressions. Although their clothes are different, they have the same characteristics, which is the murderous aura in their eyes.

At the last secret gathering of eight directions, the eight people decided to give the officers and soldiers a blow, using the Sichuan soldiers as a breakthrough point. The eight leaders each sent out 300 elite troops, totaling 2,400, led by Zi Jinliang, the most prestigious, to attack. After discussion, it was finally decided to start in Fenzhou. This was the idea of ​​the general Li Zicheng. If he appeared in the most unexpected place, he could give the enemy the most unexpected blow.

After discussion, Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui, Xing Honglang and others were moving around to attract the attention of officers and soldiers and create space for Zijinliang. Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying, also worked together to attack, but the power is not strong now, so they can only serve as deputy to assist Zijinliang.

This big brother Zi Jinliang is naturally worthy of it. A few days ago, he was the leader of various rebels.

Zi Jinliang said with some regrets: "It's a pity that there are only more than 2,000 people here, and there are still hundreds of people who are hearing the news. If they are together, we can get rid of a threat in one fell swoop."

Lu Haoshan was ordered not to follow too close, so there were only more than 2,000 people here, which made Zi Jinliang feel very regretful.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said confidently: "Brother Wang, those few hundred people are not a problem. It is better to kill these things, and then go to Wenxi to kill them, and kill those hundreds of Sichuan soldiers under the horses."

Zi Jinliang thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future. Whenever there is any abnormal movement here, I guess the defenders in Fenzhou will move soon. Although our number is worrying, those brothers may not be able to work together. Let's calculate that they are lucky and retreat according to the original plan after success."

"Yes, Brother Wang." Zhang Xianzhong did not have the strength or confidence to challenge Zi Jinliang yet, and he quickly responded when he heard this.

Zijinliang looked at the stars in the sky. This was his way of distinguishing direction and time. He never made any mistakes. When he saw that it was almost three o'clock, he waved his hand and said, "The time is almost over, act according to the plan."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, his hand holding the knife trembled a little, and turned around and ordered his subordinates to start acting.

The reason for trembling is not because of fear, but...excitement.

The weather is very cold, and the cold wind is like a sharp blade, which makes life hurt. Generals like Dong Jian and others can sleep comfortably in the tent equipped with charcoal furnaces, but the soldiers on duty have no luck. In addition to dealing with the cold, they also have to deal with the constant sleepiness. The way for the soldier Zheng Xiaosan to deal with the sleepiness and coldness is to drink. As soon as the wine is imported, the whole body is warm, not to mention how comfortable it is. He squinted his eyes while drinking. Time flies.

The generals were all asleep, and they were full of wine and food, and they were sleeping so hard that they couldn't wake up. They were not allowed to drink on duty, but the general played women, drank and gambled money, so he took the lead, so what were they afraid of? Besides, the brothers on patrol were also stopped to rest in a leeward place. I don't know whether they were sleeping or playing the Leaf Card, but he was the captain on duty with him. He drank early and was tired in the corner for half an hour, and the snoring was like sawing wood.

After applying a sip of inferior white wine, Zheng Xiaosan narrowed his eyes half-squinted. Just as he was trying to find a place to urinate, he suddenly felt a flash in front of him, as if a black shadow was rushing towards him. He thought he was drunk and looked at him with some difficulty.

Not good, someone!

When Zheng Xiaosan opened his eyes wide and saw clearly, he was shocked and his drunkenness disappeared in an instant: the enemy attacked!

But he couldn't scream because a big hand pressed his mouth tightly. He was about to struggle, but his chest hurt. Looking down, a dagger with a cold light had penetrated deeply into his heart. Zheng Xiaosan felt that his chest was stabbed several times one after another, and his consciousness became more and more blurred. When the hand was released, he slowly fell to the ground. Just before he lost consciousness, he happened to see the captain sleeping in the corner being twisted by a burly man, and his eyes were protruding...
