0921 Sitting in the troubled city

Time quickly moved to November. Because the weather was particularly cold this year, in November, the northwest region was already whistling north wind and snowflakes were flying! Everything between the world seemed to be frozen!

But on the bank of the Yellow River, countless people gathered there to form a huge camp. After the sunlight appeared, the camp seemed to wake up from the freezing, and people began to move inside the camp.

The people who were active in the camp came out to seek food and wood. Among them, a group of people carried their companions' bodies and threw them outside the camp. Those people were the ones who had frozen to death last night.

This camp was formed by the rebels gathered together. Li Zicheng and others were all among them. They were surrounded and blocked by the Ming army and had no way to escape. They had been blocked by the Yellow River for more than ten days.

Although there were sporadic escapees in these days, most of them did not escape because they knew they had nowhere to go. If they left the collective, even if they were not killed by the Ming army, their lives would be taken away by the cold!

So all the rebels were waiting for the arrival of the doomsday by the Yellow River. The food was decreasing day by day and morale fell day by day. The leaders were also in a city of troubled worries and could not come up with any solution! So now the leaders gathered in the tent to drink wine all day long, which looked quite like before the end of the world.

In a tent that was worn but tightly covered, more than a dozen people squeezed together to sleep soundly. The heat from their mouths and noses hung a layer of white frost inside the tent.

At this time, a man came out of the quilt, stood up straight and started to move his body. The man looked quite old, but his body was still very strong and his movements were very smooth when he moved.

When he moved his body and became a little hot, he started kicking the people in the quilt one by one. He woke up all the dozen people in the tent. Then he sorted out his beard and hair, revealing his face. Only then could he see that this person was Niu Bajin.

Among the people who were kicked, one of them said hummingly: "Dad, why are we asking us to get up in this cold weather?"

Niu Bajin said, "Get up and patrol!"

After Bajin finished speaking, the person in the quilt sat up and saw that it was a strong young man, but there were signs of a beard on his face. He wrapped the quilt tightly to prevent the cold air from rushing inside, shook his neck and said, "Dad, how many people are there now? Why are you so serious?"

Niu Bajin said, "Stop talking! This is a war that will kill you! Let's go to the patrol and you may be able to save your life! Get up quickly!"

Niu Bajin said and kicked everyone in the quilt again, making them get up. Everyone couldn't resist Niu Bajin, so they had to get up and pack up their clothes.

Since the Guyuan Mutiny, Niu Bajin and his son fled to the surrounding mountain villages with a group of rebellious soldiers. The few of them stayed in the mountain village for more than half a year. They did not come out until the limelight of the mutiny had completely passed.

According to Niu Bajin's intention, he still wanted to find a quiet place to live and be a peaceful people. But at this time, Liu bandits spread everywhere in Shaanxi and Shanxi. Where can they stay? It's just that they are not easy to be swordsmen! Because there are too many people who want to be swordsmen!

Several people discussed it. Some wanted to join relatives, and some wanted to commit suicide on the spot, so everyone scattered. In the end, only two of the rebel soldiers were willing to follow Niu Bajin.

After a long period of thinking, Niu Bajin found desperately that unless he went to Jiangnan, he would never be able to settle down. The journey to Jiangnan was long, and not to mention what would happen on the road, even those gentry and big gentry would eat the father and son who had no foundation and not even left the skin!

The more I thought about it, Niu Bajin became more and more angry, and happened to hear the news from the rebel army, so he simply took Niu Mangu and the two soldiers to join the rebel army! Anyway, God doesn't want them to survive, so just kill the bloody path!

In fact, the one Niu Bajin wants to join the most is Luo Rucai. Because Luo Rucai has a very good reputation in the green forest and has always had a reputation for justice. He joined his command, and at least he would not worry about being betrayed! If something happened, someone would help him stand up.

But by chance, they were discovered by a small group of officials on the road! When the officials saw that they had weapons, horses, and armor, they directly determined that they were

The bandits wanted to arrest them and ask for credit. A few people ran around and actually ran to a small group of rebels. The leader was called Pangolins.

The Pangolin saw a few guys who were good and good at it, but they meant to use them more. As a result, they were blocked by the official army within a few days. After a long battle, the descendants escaped, but the Pangolin was shot and died in a few days!

Finally, after everyone discussed it, they simply went to join Li Zicheng. After everyone joined Li Zicheng, they saw that Niu Bajin and the other four had horses and armor, and saw that they were from an official army, so they naturally received attention and were directly taken into the old camp.

Niu Bajin in the old camp didn't think anything, but Niu Mangu was like a fish in water! To put it bluntly, Li Zicheng and others were all called rebels, and they did start their own business because of their unyielding rebellion. But as time went by, their hearts had changed!

After they rebelled, the masters and gentry who had never been willing to see them kneel in front of them and begged hard, and could play with the ladies they had never looked up to before. All this changed their hearts completely! What they needed was a higher status and greater power! The old camp was their powerful support to achieve this.

After each battle, the people in the old camp would give the most money and the most spoils to the most beautiful women. They would use these things to exchange for the loyalty of the old camp. The soldiers of the old camp were confused by everything in front of them and volunteered to become the swords in their hands! For the sake of silver, for women, and for the ability to control the life and death of others, they would use even more crazy combat to maintain their current lives.

Niu Mangu, who was not very experienced in the world, was confused by everything! He completely fell in love with this kind of life. He could kill people, including big pieces of meat, big bowls of wine, and beautiful women! He could no longer return to a life facing the loess and back to the sky.
