As for the current situation, the emperor said that he was in charge of the army, but he didn't even see a shadow. Maybe he was afraid and didn't dare to come. He wanted Chen Qiyu to beat the thief almost the same first and then pick the peaches!

What has been seen on the surface is that the so-called imperial guards are distributed everywhere, such as Luoyang and Xiangyang. The troops were not large, but they were still scattered in this way, which made many bandits feel that they were not under much pressure.

They are actually used to this situation.

The court was most afraid of them running around, so it had to surround them and block them, and the troops would be dispersed and there would be troops from all directions.

But in this way, even if the original troops on both sides are similar, the bandits can decide where they attack together, which is equivalent to saying: there are 40,000 government troops, and they are divided into four directions, which means 10,000 troops in one direction. However, the bandits' 40,000 troops can be surrounded in one direction, which is equivalent to four attacks and one.

Although there are many factors to consider in the actual situation, the simple comparison of troops is the most intuitive. It is also because of this reason that they no longer feel the pressure from the beginning. They even think that Chen Qiyu, the dog official, feels very stressed now!

Nowadays, there are more and more bandits gathered in Hubei. The so-called snake cannot do without a head, so naturally, the Green Forest Leaders' Meeting was put on the agenda again by these bandits.

In the past, this happened when the thieves had just started. At that time, Wang Jiayin was their leader. Because it was Wang Jiayin's rebellion in Fugu, he was one of the earliest groups and was not immediately suppressed and made a reputation.

However, if you come out and make trouble, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Wang Jiayin was killed, and the bandits from all over the country were surrounded and suppressed to escape their lives. There was no such thing as the so-called leader.

But now, the emperor is the one who personally led the army to fight. There are so many thieves who always have to be the leader!

For a moment, all the families were arguing. Once they united, it would be more appropriate for who would be the leader of the alliance!

"My Eight Kings rebel first this time, so it should be appropriate for my Eight Kings to be the leader of this alliance!"

"You can't say that. The leader of the alliance has to take us to win battles. Only those who are in charge are suitable for being the leader! If nothing else, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei knows whether our leader is called Cao Cao, which is enough to show!"

"Haha, then my boss is already the king, and the sweeping king is also the king, so he should be the leader of the alliance!"

"What about the King of Rebellion? My family is also the King!"

"We are the leader of the family, and they are known as the star in the sky. They should be the leader of the alliance!"

“…”

The verbal battles first started to spray each other from the younger brothers of various people, and then slowly began to spread. The small leaders also began to argue, and the more they were tit-for-tat, the more quarrels, and even a little harsh. Later, when they were speechless, they started to move their fists, even those who used knives.

There is naturally a reason for such a fierce competition for the position of leader.

The last time the leader of the alliance was to escape, and to act together, and to unify the order. In addition, Wang Jiayin was quite special, so he almost lost no one.

However, this time the leader of the alliance led the superior forces, at least they themselves believed that the superior forces were fighting against the imperial government's army. Moreover, this time, when the emperor was in charge of the army, if anyone could defeat the encirclement of the official army, his reputation would definitely not be comparable to anyone.

In addition, if this battle is fought well, it will not only kill the emperor, but may even win the world. In case, if it is true, if it is really win the world, then the leader must be the most qualified to take over the world!

In the case where the level of civilization in later generations was already quite high, there was news that there was a couple who thought they would spend the money if they won the prize. As a result, they had to get divorced. From this, it can be seen that it is understandable that the thief would compete for the position of the leader for the possible great benefits.

If there is no dispute at this time, what if it is really defeated by the government army this time, and then it will be smooth sailing and win the world?

So, no one allowed it, and everyone wanted to grab it.

This matter became more and more fierce as the fight became. Finally, the white knife went into the red knife and caused a life, which almost caused an internal strife. This made the big leaders from all walks of life say that the people below should not argue, and they will hold a meeting to decide the leader.

Then, another very critical question emerged. It is the place where the matter is discussed, where to choose!

Although they are both brothers and brothers, they have never been together to discuss matters. But now it is related to the huge interests that may be in the world in the future, so they will definitely be worried that if they go to other people's territory, some people may become ill-hearted and take the opportunity to attack.

Therefore, these thieves wanted to set up the venue for the matter in their territory. A new round of quarrels began again.

Anyway, each company can find the reasons for each company, and no one says he is dissatisfied with the other party.

Just as they were quarreling, Emperor Chongzhen's 800-mile expedition order finally arrived at Xiangyang Prefecture.

The thief suddenly became powerful, and more importantly, Zuo Liangyu's sudden rebellion even robbed two county towns with lightning speed. It was still quite pressured for Chen Qiyu, who had been punished once.

Even though he had talked with the emperor and felt that the emperor was different from before, the pressure in his heart remained unabated. Although he knew that the wise emperor would suddenly change back? After all, the emperor was actually the same emperor and had never changed anyone!

What can comfort him is that at least the Jinyiwei Baihu has been by his side, and he should know that he is indeed doing his best. Moreover, the thief was afraid that Chen Qiyu would want to destroy him by conspiracy. Therefore, this news came to the emperor. If someone wanted to impeach him, he believed that the emperor should first consider whether the person who impeached him was affected by the thief.

However, no matter what, Chen Qiyu felt that he had to make some achievements, at least defeat the thieves. With the record in hand, the emperor could explain it.

Therefore, during this period, Chen Qiyu was also making frequent arrangements. With Liu Guoneng as an insider, he probably knew what the thief was busy with, so he was preparing to dispatch the Yongwei Battalion to see if he could take this opportunity to fight unexpectedly.

While he was deploying, he heard a report that the emperor had an order to reach an emergency of 800 miles.

When Chen Qiyu heard this news, he was a little scared in his heart. He thought, could it be that the emperor knew that the bandits here were powerful and dissatisfied with his inaction, so he urged him to send troops?

Thinking of this in his heart, he quickly arranged for the order to accept the order.

This resignation made him understand the emperor's meaning and shocked him for a long time.

Chen Qiyu never expected that the emperor had correctly derived the current situation based on the situation here, and told him to show the enemy to be weak, stabilize the bandits, and not put pressure on the bandits, and let them make trouble first. In addition, the Tumote tribe in Hetao had been completely wiped out, and when the emperor led the elite troops south, he would annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The decree also specifically explained that Liu Yue, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, had their names hidden and followed Liu Guoneng. Don’t let Liu Guoneng send people to contact him again, so as not to expose Liu Guoneng if he had too many times. As for how to convey the message, the emperor will deal with it.

Sometimes, Chen Qiyu always felt that he had an emperor's spy around him, otherwise how could the emperor know so clearly? However, it seems that he can't make sense to calculate from time to time. Then there is only one possibility left. The emperor has very strong calculation ability and can often calculate what may happen in the future from a little clue.

This ability is so amazing that it is even more powerful than Zhuge Liang of the ancients!

Chen Qiyu had to accept this!

At the same time, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because judging from this decree, the emperor had long believed that Zuo Liangyu might rebel. All this was not that Chen Qiyu was not dedicated, but that the enemy was too treacherous and that the incident happened suddenly, no wonder he was not.

Now that the emperor has begun to make the overall situation on the periphery, it is like a net of heaven and earth beginning to slowly shrink, but the fish in the net still don’t know that such a big net has begun to cover them. In this battle, we must do it according to the emperor’s intentions. When the emperor leads the elite suddenly, the thieves will not have time to escape!

While idle, Chen Qiyu began to adjust his deployment again. The main military force began to slowly move south to block the possibility of the bandits' jumping south. As for the east, he personally took charge of Xiangyang. There was no need to worry about the west. The road to enter Sichuan was originally dangerous, but now there are elite troops in Sichuan to block the road, so it is impossible for the bandits to enter Sichuan again.

Liu Yue, a householder of Jinyiwei, naturally saw this order and knew what his new mission was. For him, although this matter was dangerous, it also meant that there might be a great contribution waiting for him. Without sending out messages, the possibility of exposure was reduced, so he quickly made preparations.

As for the changes here, the thief basically did not notice them and was still clamoring about the matter about the leader.

In the end, the thieves decided to bring a thousand men to the Black Tiger Temple Alliance at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

After this decision, all the bandits took their elites and set out to the Heihu Temple in a mighty manner. They set up camp with the Heihu Temple as the center. Then the leaders of each family led fifty guards to enter the Heihu Temple and officially began to discuss the alliance.

Along the way, no matter who it was, they had a good temper. When they met, they would greet each other cordially and tell us about the years and years of fighting side by side. When people who didn't know met, they thought that these thieves were all in harmony. Then they thought that for the sake of the leader, their saliva was almost blown away.

However, when the leaders of various families officially met in the Black Tiger Temple, those who had obvious strength to compete for the leader began to smell gunpowder again.

"Do you know why the imperial army is getting weaker and weaker? It is because I burned the imperial tomb a few days ago and moved the dragon veins of the Zhu family, and our rebel army is prosperous! Speaking of which, it is all thanks to my fire!" Zhang Xianzhong finished the table and sighed loudly.

When Luo Rucai heard this, he immediately dissatisfied and immediately said, "If this is the case, why did you surrender to the court in Gucheng? This is also after burning the imperial tomb!"

"Yes, this time, our fifth battalion responded in Junzhou and secretly joined forces to defeat the imperial army." Hui Dengxiang immediately refuted. In fact, Zhang Xianzhong's fire did make him famous, and he was the first person to rebellion this time. If he didn't jointly suppress him, the leader would be the most likely to be his leader.

Speaking of this, Huidenxiang looked at the person with distinctive armor here and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, this person can testify. If our troops hadn't suddenly increased, he wouldn't have lost his armor and ran away, right?"

He said that this person was Zuo Liangyu, who had become a thief and was also determined to be the leader of the alliance. After hearing this, he didn't make a fuss. He was still a little cunning. Since the topic had already involved him, he spoke, "Actually, haven't you seen that I deliberately let the war go?"

He said shamelessly casually, and then he immediately said: "You don't know anything about the court's officialdom at all, only I know the best. If you are willing to be the leader of the alliance, I can guarantee that you will lead you to attack the weaknesses of the official army and alienate the relationship between the court. Even if you want to win the world of Daming in the end, it will not be so difficult. I promise afterwards that I will never treat everyone badly..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zicheng slapped the table and pointed at Zuo Liangyu and shouted: "Shut up, how many brothers have you killed? Moreover, as an official army in the court, you are doing the things of killing Liang and looting the people. Can a great thing be achieved by a person like you? I don't know why all the brothers will accept you and ask me to tell you, and kill you and avenge your brothers!"

He put forward the slogan of "equal land and free grain" and has begun to pay attention to winning people's hearts. One of the propaganda is the brutality of the imperial government army, and the example used is Zuo Liangyu's army.

The official army that was originally famous, like a thief, also had another Zu Kuan's army. However, Zu Kuan had been "cracked" by the emperor and was charged with harming the people. Therefore, Li Zicheng focused on promoting Zuo Liangyu these days.

But after he came, he didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to become their group. For him, this was very unhappy.

Liu Guoneng stood behind Zuo Liangyu. When he heard this, he immediately pointed at Li Zicheng and cursed: "What qualifications do you have to steal the position of leader of the alliance? He was killed by the imperial army and left only eighteen cavalry and fled into Shangluo Mountain. If you become leader of the alliance, you might be able to harm all the rebels from all walks of life. You are not capable of this!"

"..." Li Zicheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't speak for a while. This is indeed his weakness and he can't refute it!

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong also said, "If I hadn't raised the banner of righteousness first and attracted the attention of the imperial army, you probably would have been hiding in Shangluo Mountain and dared not come out? In this position of the leader, you still need to have the ability and responsible persons to sit down!"

Seeing that Liu Guoneng had successfully changed the subject, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but look at him happily, but didn't say anything.

When Li Guo heard this, he immediately argued loudly: "Who of you has the vision of my uncle? If you want to win the world, you must first win the hearts of the people. My uncle brings equal land and free grain, and has won the support of countless people. In just a few months, he has more than 50,000 troops."
