So he blinked and glanced at the people present, and began to estimate in his heart that he didn't speak for a moment.

However, the others were still arguing. The sound of slapping the tables, shouting loudly, and cursing in the entire Black Tiger Temple, mixed up and spreading from afar, causing the subordinates of the leaders at the door to turn their heads to look into the temple from time to time.

Behind Zuo Liangyu, Liu Guoneng stood in the sky and helped Zuo Liangyu yell a few words from time to time. And behind Liu Guoneng, there were a few people standing, one of them was Liu Yue, a hundred households of Jinyiwei. However, at this time, his identity was Liu Guoneng's personal guard.

In such a place where he deals with thieves, it is not convenient for Zuo Liangyu to bring his original subordinates over, so Zhang Yong and others led a thousand men to wait at the foot of the mountain. Liu Guoneng was originally the leader of the thieves and was familiar with these thieves, so he naturally accompanied Zuo Liangyu to negotiate. In this way, Liu Guoneng could bring Liu Yue in.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu also asked Wang Gui secretly and received a reply. These people were Liu Guoneng's confidants, so there was no doubt. After all, the faces in the thief team were often replaced with new ones, and no one could keep staring at them. At most, a familiar face was gone, and I asked if they were dead!

So, although Emperor Chongzhen was about to arrive in Tongguan and had not yet entered Henan, he knew clearly the movements of these thieves. During the march, he rode on a horse and seemed to be silent, but in fact he was watching the live broadcast of various thieves fighting for the leader.

After watching it for a while, he felt a little bored. He just had a verbal battle like this, and he couldn't tell the difference at all!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to be a host in the Black Tiger Temple and tell them that it is useless to be the leader of the alliance. If you want to be the leader, it depends on your strength.

You can choose a real person pk, and the last one standing is the leader, and it doesn’t matter what kind of white and red knives come out.

Or you can set up troops and fight each other for a while, and the winner will be the king!

It’s such a simple thing, why can’t these thieves figure it out?

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was a little bored, someone woke up.

"It's not a solution to continue like this. It's going to get dark. If you want me to say it, just say it straightforwardly. If you choose me, raise your hand. Anyway, the leader is the one who can support you the most!" Zhang Xianzhong slapped the table, stepped on the stool that was originally sitting, and shouted loudly.

When he said this, his eyes swept over. Suddenly, there were a few small forces and had a good relationship with Zhang Xianzhong. He immediately applauded and quickly raised his hand.

When Luo Rucai saw this, he didn't care about the previous questions anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone knows that I, Cao Cao, have always been generous. If you want to choose me, Luo will never treat you badly. Let's take a look now, and those who oppose me, Cao Cao will raise your hand!"

So, some people raised their hands to agree with Zhang Xianzhong, while others raised their hands to oppose Cao Cao. Anyway, the scene was very chaotic.

Li Zicheng saw that it was not good. He came from another province alone and had not yet had a relationship with them. If he had to vote, he would be able to compete with the Eight Kings and others. So he didn't care whether he was gentle or not, and shouted: "I believe everyone doesn't understand my current strength, but I can guarantee that my rebel army has the strongest combat power. If you fight the official army, you still have to rely on me, Li. You believe me!"

When Hui Dengxiang saw this, he immediately shouted; Liu Guoneng despised all this in his heart, but he actively participated and shouted.

Just like that, Zhang Xianzhong's vote began soon became shattered.

It’s really that the position of the leader is too important, and their qualifications are similar, so no one agrees with each other. It would be strange if they decide who the leader is in half a day!

So, it was dark and my voice became hoarse, but there was still no result. The thief leaders dispersed in unhappy.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had just arrived in Tongguan. As long as he left Tongguan, he would be in Henan.

He ordered the army to rest here and wait for the arrival of war horses in Shanxi. Of course, Tongguan has also been blocked and pedestrians are prohibited from entering and leaving. To be precise, those in Henan can enter Shaanxi, but in Shaanxi, as long as you see a large number of imperial officials in Tongguan, you cannot leave the customs.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also sent a messenger to Luoyang to ask for money and food from Prince Fu's Mansion. Panshi Camp left Luoyang and advanced to Nanyang Mansion, slowly narrowing the encirclement.

In the next few days, the thief's leader meeting still had no results, and many strange things happened.

For example, Li Zicheng's troops, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi and others all declared their independence as the first battalion and then they would participate in the voting together. As a result, the others stopped doing it and began to demolish their own houses, which was very noisy.

Some people also proposed the situation of drawing lots, allowing God to decide who should be the leader. The powerful Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others immediately refused. The reason was very simple: Everyone came out to rebel, and my fate was my own fault, and I was not the same as God!

Zuo Liangyu or the worm in Emperor Chongzhen's belly, and when he thought about it, he suggested that everyone send an army to decide the outcome. Of course, the winner is the king if he does not bring weapons!

The other bandits immediately rejected this proposal. If they use elite soldiers to restrict battles on the battlefield, they naturally cannot compare to Zuo Liangyu, a serious official army, and no one is willing to do this.

The final result was Luo Rucai who raised the question he thought of, and heard him say to the thief leaders here: "Now, everyone has not much food in their army. If this continues, there will be no food in their hands, and no matter how many soldiers there are, it will be useless. You should not even think of chanting the slogans, that would be nonsense. Therefore, I think we can't rest like this anymore. Everyone moves and limits a deadline to see who grabs more food and who kills more officials, and who is the leader of the alliance, how about it?"

This question is very practical. In addition, in the past few days, no one has ever been able to discuss it at all, and no one is satisfied with it. Therefore, these thieves have all thought about this proposal.

However, this suggestion is also problematic. For example, everyone is thinking about picking the persimmons and pinching them, but the surrounding cities have been easily defeated. The subsequent war is not so easy to fight. For those who are relatively weak, all the thieves are rushing to fight, so they start to fight again.

However, this time, several powerful thieves, such as Li Zicheng, the King of Breaking, Zhang Xianzhong, the Eight Kings of Kings, Huizhong of Zhutianxing, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and Zuo Liangyu tribe, joined forces for the first time, and no longer gave those weak thieves the chance. In fact, they must be eliminated. Apart from these companies, the other strength is not enough to conquer cities and territories.

The result was not achieved, so in the end, these companies agreed to take a half month period and act on their own. It depends on who has gained the most and has the greatest results, which is who will be the leader of the alliance.

After this was decided, the first Black Tiger Temple meeting ended like this.

Emperor Chongzhen also watched this farce from beginning to end. To be honest, he was not satisfied with the result of the Black Tiger Temple meeting. The thieves fought and attacked everywhere, not what he wanted to see.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he sent a messenger to Nanyang Prefecture. At the same time, he asked Zheng Chongjian to speed up the completion of Shaanxi, especially the horse materials, and he also had to prepare more. Although there were more cavalrymen, the logistics pressure was also high.

Emperor Chongzhen decided to either remain unmoved. As long as he moved, he would be like thunder and not give the thief a chance to breathe. Therefore, the logistics needs such as horse materials must be prepared in advance in Tongguan. This is different from the preparations required in Shaanxi.

When the half month that the bandits agreed to arrive was almost there, more than 15,000 war horses had been sent to Tongguan. Originally, the cavalry were equipped with war horses, while the others were horse riding infantry, and war horses were just tools for transportation.

The arrival of these war horses has inspired all the officials and has greater confidence in eliminating the bandits. This time, the suppression of bandits with the imperial guards was the most comfortable time for them to feel. There is no need to worry about not having food, no need to worry about the difficulties made by local governments, etc. The morale of the army is particularly high, and I wish I could encircle and suppress the bandits immediately.

At this time when they were happy, the agreed time came, and all the thieves and leaders gathered in the Heihu Temple again. This time, they were not as relaxed as they were at the beginning.

They did not expect that the county towns that were previously thought easy to attack suddenly became difficult to fight. After multiple investigations, they finally found the reason. It was that Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, gave them an order to keep them on guard, and the military and civilians united in order to fight against the bandits.

The most important thing is that the local officials were given power. If there was no money and grain and the gentry in the city was unwilling to give it consciously, they would allow local officials to send troops to force their money and grain. No matter what the background of the local gentry was, they would do it like this. All the consequences would be borne by the Governor's Office, the governor of the five provinces.

With just one move, these cities were difficult to fight, and they could not even send people to infiltrate. If you move a little bit, you will be noticed and pushed to the top of the city to beheaded. This kind of defense has even arrived. As long as you are not a city person as a protection, strange faces would rather kill the wrong ones than let go.

"Why is Chen Qiyu so brave? I have never seen him do such a thing before, and he is so responsible!" Zuo Liangyu cursed for this.

"No, maybe Chen Qiyu, the dog official, lost several cities before, and was anxious to jump over the wall!" Luo Rucai also said in surprise, "He actually forced his money and food from the gentry, and he has a bit of our style!"

Naturally, they didn't know that Chen Qiyu dared to issue this order because he followed the emperor's will. In other words, the emperor asked him to do this, so what else is there to be afraid of!

Li Zicheng performed a little differently from them. He laughed and was particularly abrupt, attracting the attention of all the thieves. Then he said: "Everyone, since Chen Qiyu did such a thing, we don't have to hit him anymore. As long as he can deal with him, he will definitely be attacked in the future and will definitely be punished by the emperor again!"

"How to deal with it?" Zhang Xianzhong immediately asked strongly when he heard it, "Where are so many people in our country, so how can we deal with it with it so much food?"

"Yes, it seems that all battalions have begun to starve people to death, right?" Hui Dengxiang nodded and agreed, "Don't deny it, I saw the body throwing out!"

After the rebellion, all the families had almost eaten the food they had accumulated. They originally thought that they would still gain something this month, but things went against their wishes, so the food could not be supported.

The elite subordinates of each family are okay. Those people who are being bullied can only drink one meal of porridge a day when there is no war. Some of them are even weaker, and they are abandoned by the thieves and have no need to drink porridge.

Speaking of this heavy topic, the Black Tiger Temple became quiet rarely.

They had to admit that they originally thought the situation was very good, but now it seems that the court still has strength and at least it has to fight some bad wars.

There was silence here, and the rapid footsteps coming from the temple gate made the noise a little loud.

"Now no one can enter the family, stay here."

"No, I have something important to ask to see my King of Rebellion!"

"No, I agreed that each family can only enter so many people!"

"Yes, if you want to do this, then I have an urgent matter to find my eight kings. Why don't you come in together?"

"I really have something urgent. I have news about the emperor!"

“…”

He clearly heard the movement outside, especially when he heard the last sentence, Li Zicheng stood up and shouted quickly: "Put the person in!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his legs and left. Obviously, he didn't want to wait for someone to come in, but he was going out.

When the other thieves heard this, they immediately shouted and asked the outside to release people. At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong stopped Li Zicheng and said to him with a smile: "If you have news about the dog emperor, just call me in and listen together. The King of Chuang doesn't need to go outside!"

When Luo Ru immediately agreed, he said, "Yes, the King of Rebellion should go out in person. Just call me in and listen together."

“…”

The other thief leaders also had the same attitude. While stopping Li Zicheng, they shouted that they would let people out.

The subordinates of each family outside the door stopped stopping him when they heard their bosses shouting to release them.

Li Zicheng did think that it would be better for him to know the emperor, but when he was stopped, he had no choice. Looking at Gao Yigong who was strode in, he couldn't help but feel a little complaining.

Gao Yigong didn't think about this. After strode in, he reported to Li Zicheng with his fists: "Brother, the dog emperor is in Nanyang Prefecture. I just received the news that there were more than 10,000 people from Panshi Camp."

The Panshi Camp, which was the former Qin army, was an elite type, with more than 10,000 guarding the city. Gao Yigong didn't think that Li Zicheng could fight alone. Based on this, he said it publicly here. Otherwise, if the emperor had a soft persimmon, he would be a fool, and would publicly yell.

When all the thief leaders were stunned, they were overjoyed!
