As soon as he received this news yesterday, Li Zicheng was sure that this must have been done by the Ming army. Because Cao Wenzhao's army was all in the east of Zhenning County, and they were all under his own surveillance, it was impossible for them to flow to the north of Zhenning County, south of Lushui.

A small part of the reason why Li Zicheng was so angry was because of those soldiers who died in battle, and most of the reason was because of his brother Chen Dadu, who did not know where to go. Li Zicheng is a person who misses the old days very much, but if he is good to him, he will always remember it. Chen Dadu and him have known each other for so long, the two have been friends for so many years, and when the two of them were in Mizhi County, Chen Dadu still took great care of him.

Li Zicheng still remembers very clearly that one winter, because of the bad harvest that year, the price of grain was high, Li Zicheng had no money to buy grain, and in the winter the grain was finished, and the hungry were not in decline, and his heart was burning and uncomfortable. It didn't take long for him to become shaped, and he lay weak in bed and couldn't get up.

His wife Han didn't care about him, but spoke coldly all day long.

During those days, Chen Dadu was taking care of him, and Chen Dadu also gave him his own food to eat, he was very hungry, and he didn't even look at the food given to Li Zicheng.

As a result, Li Zicheng recognized him as a brother. You must know that Chen Dadu is the number one pot-bellied man in the entire Mizhi County, and Li Zicheng is very sure that Chen Dadu's discomfort when he is hungry is definitely much greater than when he is hungry. That year, both of them almost starved to death, but they both survived.

Li Zicheng knew very well that if there was no Chen Dadu, he would definitely not be able to survive. Later, both of them joined the rebel army, Li Zicheng was very popular, but Chen Dadu was not successful, and he was always bullied. Li Zicheng has always felt that he is not capable of taking care of him, and he also feels very indebted to him. And now that he can finally be transferred to his side, he didn't expect this brother to happen to him again, and he felt very guilty in his heart. Even Li Zicheng thought that if he didn't transfer him, even if he was bullied now, he would never encounter such a thing.

After getting the news yesterday, Li Zicheng immediately sent people around to look for him like crazy, and even violated the rules he had set before. Before, he had ordered his subordinates not to cross Lushui, and now, many teams had even searched for more than ten miles north of Lushui, but when they came back today, they were all nowhere to be found, without exception.

Instead, I found a camp that I don't know if it was left by this team, and it looked like someone had been stationed here a day or two ago, but now the camp was empty, and there was no one left.

The news was reported to Li Zicheng, and the angry Li Zicheng was furious.

Li Zicheng pointed to the person in front of him and scolded: "Liu Fangliang, you thief bird, you tell Lao Tzu, why can't you find someone?" Could it be that those people have wings? ”

He was also a little out of shape under the anger in his heart, if he had been placed before, he would definitely not have scolded his generals like this, and it was such an unprovoked scolding for no reason.

Liu Fangliang is about thirty years old, a very strong man, not tall, but very sturdy. He wore a heavy armor of iron leaf and a red robe. At this time, under the command of Li Zicheng, the most important general is Liu Fangliang. Those famous figures in later generations, such as Liu Zongmin, Li Yan, Sun Kewang, Gao Yigong and others, have not yet gotten up.

Liu Fangliang served as the general of the left battalion system under Li Zicheng, and his soldiers and horses were the most numerous besides Li Zicheng, which was very valued by Li Zicheng.

Liu Fangliang is also a quite calm person, at this time Li Zicheng said this, but he was not angry or anxious, but said with a wry smile: "General, the subordinates have indeed searched for fifty miles around Zhenning County, but they really can't find Brother Chen." Thinking that those elite cavalry of the Ming army must have taken Brother Chen away, I can't say that after interrogating Brother Chen, I learned her identity, and I also knew that I was in big trouble, for fear that I would clean them up with you, so I hurriedly pulled out the camp overnight and ran out for I don't know how many miles. ”

Now it seems that it was really hard to find, and the brothers did their best. If you really want to find Brother Chen, I am afraid that I will have to scatter my people for hundreds of miles. But don't forget, you have more important things to do. ”

He was tactfully reminding Li Zicheng that the most important goal now was to completely exterminate Cao Wenzhao's subordinates, not to fight with this Ming army that came out of nowhere.

Li Zicheng glared at him, his eyes were red, he was panting, and his face was hideous: "Then according to your meaning, my brother Chen doesn't care?" ”

"It's not that it doesn't matter."

Liu Fangliang smiled bitterly: "We really can't draw up manpower now, then Cao Wenzhao has 3,000 people, and they are all the elite of the official army, we have to use at least 15,000 troops to say that we can safely clean them up." If you want insurance, you have to do your best. At present, there is really no manpower to send out to search, if there are fewer people sent out, even if they find Brother Chen, I am afraid that they will be swallowed by those Ming troops. So according to me, general, let's clean up Cao Wenzhao first, and then go back and clean up the elite of the Ming army. And ......"

He paused, observed Li Zicheng's face, and continued: "What use can those Ming soldiers do if they arrest Brother Chen?" Could it be that he still wants to threaten us? So from the perspective of subordinates, it is possible that Brother Chen is ...... now"

He didn't say anything more, but the people present had already heard what he was saying.

And there is no doubt that he has a point. For these intruders, Chen Dadu is a good brother of Li Zicheng, and he is a character who needs to be polite - at least on the surface - but for the Ming army, what is the value of Chen Dadu?

Chen Dadu is such a huge and heavy man, to be honest, if you want to take him to retreat, it will affect the speed of the Ming army. It's a waste of food to say it's ugly, why do people keep him?

But no one thought that the Ming army on the other side would be naïve enough to threaten the army with Chen Dadu, so the biggest possibility for Chen Dadu now is that he is already unlucky.

Many of them saw this, in fact, Li Zicheng also understood it in his heart, but he really valued this brother too much, and he didn't want to admit this fact in his heart.

At this time, Liu Fangliang was exposed, his face became decadent, he sat back in his chair, let out a long sigh, stared at the table in front of him in a daze, and didn't say a word. It was a long time before he covered his face with his hands and sobbed quietly, tears rolling down his fingers.

He muttered in his mouth: "Brother Chen, my Brother Chen, it's my brother, I can't stand you!" ”

The voice is sad, and people can't help but be moved when they hear it. Everyone sighed in their hearts, many people are envious of Chen Dadu to death, to have such a good brother who is sincere, it is worth it in this life.
