When Li Zicheng said this, Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi and others on the side all echoed the voice, and many righteous soldiers and residents in the village applauded loudly.

However, the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" were relatively quiet, and Hua Bushi was also silent. Killing officials and rebelling to become the emperor is certainly something that the righteous army thinks about every day, but the Jianghu sect has its own interests, but they don't think so.

Li Zicheng's rebel soldiers in Biluo Village totaled 3,000 people, basically all of whom were infantry, and there were not many horses. This is probably because there are mountains in a radius of dozens of miles, and it is not easy for the cavalry to give full play, and the horses need to consume grain and grass, so it is not easy to feed.

From the bottom of the mountain to the way into the cottage, Hua Bushi saw that these soldiers of the rebel army were neatly organized, and they were all well-trained and battle-hardened soldiers like the five hundred people led by Li Guo. The combat power of these 3,000 elite soldiers is also enough to be proud of one side, no wonder Li Zicheng, the "Eighth Team Breaking General", is famous among the righteous troops of all roads, and no one knows about it.

The strength of the rebel army under Li Zicheng is actually not unrelated to Hua Bushi's fall. The eldest young master also noticed that most of the weapons and armor held by the soldiers of the Righteous Army came from the blacksmith workshops of the "Evil Dog Gate" and the "Monkey Gang". In the past two years, the value of various weapons traded between the two sides has reached as much as three or four hundred thousand silver taels, and the swords, guns, and iron armor purchased by Li Zicheng from Xiangxi have not only equipped his own soldiers, but also transferred many of them to other rebel troops.

Although the Biluo cottage is large, the Juyi Hall is not majestic, it is only a large house made of adobe and gray stone halfway up the mountain. On the flagpole in front of the house hangs a large flag made of red satin with the word "Chuang", fluttering in the wind.

Everyone dismounted in front of the house, and Li Zicheng walked into the door of the Juyi Hall with Hua Bushi's hand.

The interior of the house is quite bright, but the furniture is very simple, only a few ordinary wooden tables and chairs, and there is no superfluous decoration at all. On the wall facing the gate, a large wooden plaque reads the word "Yi" written on it, and the other three walls are covered with maps of various sizes.

There are dozens of these maps, including detailed topographic maps of the mountains of Mt. Kun, Bear's Ears Mountain, and Funiu Mountain, as well as maps of the surrounding areas of Luoyang City, which is closer to the Mt. Kuo, and maps of various counties and towns in Runing, Guide, and even further away in Kaifeng Prefecture. Some of the drawings are very detailed, others are coarse, and all of them are very old and apparently often touched and viewed.

Li Zicheng saw Hua Bushi's gaze fall on the map on the wall, and said with a smile: "These maps are the source of the grain in our Biluo Village! The marks on the map are all the Haokun landlords in all parts of Yujing, where the rich and big families are, and if the cottage lacks grain and grass, they will come to them to borrow it." ”

The so-called "borrowing" grain is the kind that Liu Bei borrowed from Jingzhou but did not repay. Hua Bushi suddenly saw that most of the maps were marked with many red circles, and many of them were marked with black crosses, probably the big landlords who had borrowed grain.

Hua Bushi was pulled by Li Zicheng's arm and sat down at the big table in the middle of the hall, and the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" and several volunteer generals also sat down in the main and guest seats. With the shout of "open the table", large pots and bowls of wine and food were served non-stop.

Li Zicheng's reception banquet is quite sumptuous, although there are not as many dishes and patterns as in the urban restaurant, but it is also full of mountain delicacies and game in the mountains, which is difficult to eat in ordinary places. The wine prepared is also the sweet potato wine made by the local method in the village, which is very sweet in the mouth, but the strength of the wine is very great.

Between the banquets, Li Zicheng called his wife out to meet Hua Bushi. To the surprise of the eldest young master, this Mrs. Li turned out to be an elegant and gentle lady, and her appearance was also very beautiful and moving!

"Her maiden name is Gao, her nickname is Wanrong, and she has been married to her for more than three years!" Li Zicheng introduced with a big grin, "When I went to Wuyang City that day, Brother Shi set up wine in the brothel called 'Qifeng Building', and found many beautiful women to accompany him, and now Brother Shi has arrived at our cottage, but my brother can't find anyone else to accompany him, so let your sister-in-law accompany Brother Shi to have a few drinks!"

Gao Wanrong's face turned red, glanced at Li Zicheng, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Shi Gongzi is a scholar, but he is not a rough person like you, he can say anything and make others laugh!"

Li Zicheng hahadaxiao said, "Okay! You are all Sven people, only I am the boss, this is all right?"

Hua Bushi said: "Brother Hongji is joking! The younger brother in Wuyang City was really inconsiderate to his brother that day, and now that he has his sister-in-law here, he is fortunate to drink with these many heroes and heroes, and the younger brother is flattered!"

Gao Wanrong smiled and said, "If Shi Gongzi feels happy, then drink a few more glasses, just think of it as if it was in his own home!"

This Mrs. Li is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is clever and well-behaved, with her as a companion, plus Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo and others take turns to toast, Hua Bushi's amount of wine is not large, and he was soon dizzy and dizzy, lying on the table and unable to get up, and was supported by Yang Jiangyi to rest in the back.

And although Hua Bushi was drunk, this feast was not over, Li Hu, Ximen Tong, Meng Huan and others drank a lot of wine, and fought with a group of rebel generals and big and small leaders in the cottage, shouting and noisy until dark, and finally dispersed.

Early the next morning of the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※, Chu Yiyi left the cottage with Meng Huan Moyu, while Hua Bushi and the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" stayed in Biluo Village, and the two hundred disciples of the Perak Camp also camped and settled on the mountainside.

Hua Bushi's decision to live in Biluo Village for the time being, although it was because Li Zicheng was kind enough to stay, but the more important reason was that before he could understand the current situation in Yujing, he had nothing to do for a while.

Nowadays, the situation in the Henan realm is much more complicated than that in Hubei and Xiangjing, and it is not only the relationship between the multiple righteous armies gathered here, but also the rivers and lakes on the black and white roads of the state capitals are also turbulent. The "Shaolin faction" is the largest sect in the local area, and it can even be regarded as the most powerful Baidao sect in the Ming Dynasty, but now it still seems that it is still unable to fully control the chaotic situation in Yujing.

The goal of Hua Bushi's trip was to establish a local rudder to develop Shili, but until he figured out the current situation in Yujing, he did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, the eldest young master sent Chu Yiyi to go out first to find out the news, and he stayed in the cottage for a few days, which was just right for the disciples of the Perak Camp to rest after this long journey.

Gao Wanrong is Li Zicheng's virtuous helper.

Li Zicheng had the final say on the training, fighting, and defense of the rebels in Biluo Cottage, and many internal affairs such as food rationing, internal dependents, and armament distribution were all in charge of Gao Wanrong. She is the big housekeeper of Biluo Village, and she will take care of all the daily chores in an orderly manner, Hua Bushi has lived in the village for a few days, and she can't help but admire the ability of this "Lady General".

Hua Bushi's residence on the mountain was also arranged by Gao Wanrong herself, and the place she arranged was really an excellent place.

There is a waterfall in the back mountain of Biluo Peak, named Biyun Waterfall, a small courtyard is built not far from the waterfall, there are three stone houses in the courtyard, the scenery and living are good.

Although Hua Bushi is Li Zicheng's honored guest, he is not a rebel army after all, and he came all the way from Hunan Province under the pseudonym Shi Xiao, and he didn't want to be known by outsiders that he had something to do with the rebel army, so as not to cause trouble. It was Gao Wanrong who arranged his residence in this stone house in the back mountain, which was not only quiet, but would not be disturbed by the daily training of the soldiers of the Qianzhai Volunteer Army, and it was not easy to be seen by outsiders, which was safer.

Yang Jiangyi and Mrs. Gao lived together in Biluo Village, while Ximen Tong and Li Hu were arranged to live in another small courtyard on the back mountain.

Hua Bushi lived in Biluo Village for five days, and he was not lonely at all during these five days.

Every day before noon, Li Zicheng took Li over to visit the stone house, and sometimes Hao Shaoqi and Tian Jianxiu accompanied him, and carried a few food baskets, which were full of wine and food. The dishes were lined up on the table, the mud seals of the jar were knocked off, and the men sat down in the stone hut and began to eat and drink until it was dark.

Li Zicheng looks rough and arrogant on the outside, but his intelligence and insight are not low, especially for the methods of marching and arranging troops, Hua Bushi is also very proficient in this, but the battles he has experienced are far less than Li Zicheng, and the eldest young master has also benefited a lot from talking with him. And Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu are also both civil and military generals, only Hao Shaoqi has never read, and knows little about the art of war and martial arts, he is a straight cannon barrel, only the amount of wine is very high, if he comes, most of the wine on the table will be drunk by him.

At the beginning, everyone was a little unfamiliar with each other, but after a few days, they were all familiar with each other, and they had no scruples.

This made Hua Bushi can't help but remember that in the old house of the Sun family in Changsha City, he also held a banquet every day to invite Ma Wuhua to eat and drink, and he held it for fifteen days. Although the wine and food in Biluo Village are not as exquisite as the most haode wine and food in Changsha City found by the "Xiangjiang Five Fish" at that time, the temperament and righteousness of the people who eat wine are no different from those days!

It's a pity that five days later, Li Zicheng will not be able to accompany Hua Bushi to eat and drink again, because he has to go down the mountain to participate in the uprising meeting in the "Jinliang Village" in Liaozhou, Jinjing.

Now there are no less than ten righteous armies in the two realms of Henan and Jin, with the "Zijin Liang" Wang Ziyong, the "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang, and the "Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong The three families have the most soldiers and horses, and the strength is the strongest. This time, the uprising meeting was initiated by the "Zijinliang" Wang for his own use, and invited Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders of the righteous army to form 36 battalions of men and horses to discuss the plan of joining forces to attack the county capitals and counties of the two borders.
