The early morning at the end of winter is still extremely cold, even in a warm home, people will hold the thick quilt and don't want to let go, but in the area of Xiaqingshan, more than 100 miles west of Xuzhou City, Henan Province, there is a large army sleeping in the wilderness, the number of which is extremely large, about 30,000 or 40,000 people.

There were a few large flags erected crookedly near a few simple tents, as if because this army was no longer alive, even the words Qi and yellow on the flags were pale and weak.

The rout army led by Huang Chao has fled for nearly a month, and will be pursued by Uncle Li Huang almost every day, but along the way, the strength has not weakened at all, but it is still more than when he first left Daming Palace.

Along the way, Huang Chao collected most of the bandit rebels who were wandering in the Gyeonggi area, most of them were originally the army of the puppet Qi, but after a series of failures in the puppet Qi, these people had to fall into the grass and advance all the way to the Central Plains along the way, and it was precisely because Tongguan was still in the hands of the Feng family army, so these people could only take this road, but they didn't expect to meet the Huang Chao again. These people are back under the command of the Yellow Nest.

And a small part of them are the local bandits and rogues nearby, but they regard Huang Chao as a living ancestor of the present generation, you must know that Huang Chao was a robber back then, and he also ascended to the throne of the emperor overnight, and also established state power. Although the power of the Yellow Nest has declined at this moment, for the small-scale mountain bandits who only have a dozen or dozens of people, joining the Yellow Nest, which still has an army of tens of thousands of people, seems to them to have a bright future.

For the people who join their team, Huang Chao has always been a person who does not refuse, not to mention the current situation He is still in urgent need of manpower, although many people have more mouths, but for Huang Chao, who has no bottom line at all, it is nothing more than robbing some more towns and villages, no more, military food like a four-legged sheep can not be found, but two-legged people can be everywhere, for the role of two-legged sheep, Huang Chao is more incisive than Zhang Li's use.

Huang Chao used the practice of his predecessors, using the two-legged sheep carried by the giant general to crush them, and even cook them together with the bone residue as military rations, and the precedent of cannibalism has long been in the Huang Chao army, and it can even be said that it has long been commonplace, and naturally no one is disgusted by this, after all, it is still necessary to fill the stomach to face the battle at any time, and it is necessary to maintain the strength to continue to escape.

As the morning sun crossed the corner of Xiaqing Mountain, the slightly warm sunlight was sprinkled on the ground, perhaps awakened by the sudden warmth on the surface of the body, or just awakened by the cold morning breeze blowing across the face, or by the faint smell of flesh mixed in the morning breeze. More and more rebel soldiers opened their sleepy eyes, slowly turned their heads to look around, and then their faces showed a look of relief, as if they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts that they had spent the night safely.

Immediately after that, the successive armies began to clean up in the morning, most of them to solve their physiological problems, and then listlessly walked towards the source of the smell of meat, ready to receive their own breakfast.

If you don't investigate the type of meat, it is still extremely rich as a breakfast in the army, because no one will get a large piece of meatloaf, although it may not be able to fill the stomach at that time, but its energy is still maintained for a long time. Moreover, even the extremely dirty clay bowl and porcelain bowl in everyone's hand will have a full bowl of fragrant broth.

However, even if the breakfast was very rich, there was no possibility of being full, so some well-prepared soldiers ate half of the meatloaf, regardless of the oiliness of the meatloaf, and stuffed it directly into the bag, and kept it for future use on the road. As for the broth, there are more, the place where the camp rests is generally close to the water source, and the preparation of the broth is relatively simple, so most people are used to using broth to make up for their stomachs.

In a camp tent guarded by personal soldiers, a wrinkled old face is full of sorrow, even the two thick eyebrows are always tightly screwed together, the worried Huang Chao has not closed his eyes almost all night, there are only a few generals in the tent, and they are all some henchmen of the Zhang family brothers, now Huang Chao's subordinates are almost no one available, and only the Zhang family brothers are left, and at this moment in the account, only the second Zhang Guihou is there, and his brother Zhang Guiba has taken people away last night.

"Your Majesty, let's rest for a while! The army is already preparing, not to mention the ** who is in hot pursuit, calculating the time, and it is about to attack again! As the leader of Huang Chao's personal guard group, Lin Yan has never been half a step away from Huang Chao, but looking at Huang Chao, who suddenly looks like he is ten years old in recent days, Lin Yan still has a faint pain in his heart, and naturally he doesn't want Huang Chao, who has worked all night, to continue to work hard.

"I'm fine! Don't worry, you can still carry it! Huang Chao raised his arm and waved it weakly, and it could be seen that he was also holding on, but when his eyes fell on the tattered table in front of him again, a fierce color suddenly flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, his face became hideous, and he gritted his teeth and cursed in a vicious voice: "**! **！ Damn it**! Damn it! I must let you die without a place to bury!! ”

Looking at the crazy Huang Chao, Lin Yan and Zhang Guihou and others in the tent were just silent, allowing Huang Chao to vent the anger in their hearts, but their thoughts drifted on Zhang Guiba, who left last night.

After smashing the table a few times, how could the already dilapidated wooden table withstand the blow of the angry Huang Chao, and it was instantly shattered to the ground, and the fist that Huang Chao swung out also smashed into the air, and suddenly there was a feeling of strength in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"Lin Yan! Tell the soldiers to pack up and get ready to go at any time! After being silent for a long time, Huang Chao tried hard to open his eyes, slowly stood up with a strong spirit, straightened his waist, and commanded in a deep voice without squinting, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Guihou and added: "Guihou, you can arrange it too!" It's almost time! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Yan and Zhang Guihou glanced at each other and bowed one after another, but just after turning around, Lin Yan suddenly turned his head again, looked at the old Huang Chao, and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you must take care!" The coming day is long, and we are still waiting to continue to fight the world with you! ”

"Go ahead, let's arrange it first! I understand! Huang Chao was not as vigorous and majestic as before, but smiled faintly at Lin Yan and raised his head slightly, but it was just a simple title of the word 'I', but it made Lin Yan feel that Huang Chao's self-confidence seemed to be back.

"Huh!" In this regard, Lin Yan was also very helpless, so he had to take a deep look at Huang Chao, turned around and walked out of the camp tent, and looked up to meet the morning light outside the camp tent for a moment, Lin Yan seemed to see the dawn of hope, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a thick smile.
