Chapter 133
There are two official roads from Henan to Huguang. One goes from Luoyang to Ruzhou, enters Nanyang, and passes through Xinye to Xiangyang.The other is to cross Yancheng from Xuchang, enter Runing Mansion, then pass through Xinyang and Wuyang Pass, cross the Dabie Mountains, and follow the valley of the Baiquan River to Wuchang directly.

Of these two roads, the one in Nanyang is easier to walk. Those in Runing need to cross mountains and ridges, and the local bandits are rampant, so there are fewer people walking, and small groups of people dare not cross the border at all.

Suiping County is located on the official road from Runing to Huguang. It used to have convenient transportation and prosperous commerce. However, due to the frequent activities of local bandits in the Dabie Mountains and Funiu Mountains, the commercial roads were blocked, and the county town gradually declined.

Ever since Li Zicheng came out of Shangluo Mountain and ignited the flames of war in Zhongzhou, the officers and soldiers lost consecutive battles and the imperial court was unable to defend the place.

It was too late for the government to deal with Li Zicheng, so they were naturally unable to manage them. Over time, these tyrants and local bandits evolved into separatist forces.

Liu Hongqi is one of these separatist forces, and besides him, there are also Han Jiadi from Xuzhou and Li Jiyu from Dengfeng. Return to one side.

Liu Hongqi used to be a private salt dealer who ran wild in Runing area. Later, when the bandits broke up and cut off the trade routes, he led a group of people to rise up and build a stronghold on the mountain.

He was originally just an ordinary local thief, but when Ding Qirui went north to break the siege, he drained all of Runing's troops. In the end, he not only failed to break the siege, but also returned in a big defeat. Chance.

Taking advantage of Runing's emptiness, he took the opportunity to go out of the mountains and occupy Suiping County, which made his power rapidly expand, with more than [-] people.

After his strength increased, Liu Hongqi's ambition also increased accordingly, and he had already regarded Runing as something on the plate.But he didn't want to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway, and actually grabbed Runing ahead of him, which made Liu Hongqi's eyes turn red.

In the dark night, in the Yamen of Suiping County, there was a lot of wine and music, and the hall was brightly lit. There was a person sitting on the front seat. It was Liu Hongqi, the leader of the bandits. He was about thirty years old.

At this time, he was drinking and having fun with his subordinates, "Master San, you did a good job this time, come, drink this bowl of wine."

"This is all arranged by the head of the family. I just obeyed orders and didn't dare to take credit for it." A thin man picked up his glass and drank it down.

The atmosphere in the lobby was very lively, but an old man with a goatee below said with a melancholy face: "Master, this Gao Yihuan is Li Zicheng's general, we robbed his armor, what if Li Zicheng comes to take revenge?"

The person who spoke was Liu Hongqi's military adviser, named Yang Dongqing, an old scholar in the county.

"Haha~" Liu Hongqi didn't take it seriously, picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "The military commander is worrying too much. Li Zicheng is busy competing with the Zhu family, how could he stand up for a general, you put your heart in your stomach."

Yang Dongqing was still a little worried, "It is said that the person who ambushed Zuo Liangyu in Yancheng was Gao Yihuan. He can defeat Zuo Liangyu and occupy Runing. The old man thinks he is not simple, and the leader should not snatch those soldiers."

"The ambush in Yancheng is Li Zicheng's general Zhao Yingyuan, and Gao Yihuan is a captain. At most, I can attack him. Why should I be afraid of him!" Liu Hongqi's eyes turned cold, and he laughed: "I don't just want to grab Gao Yihuan's things, I also I want to drive him out of Runing. In this world right now, whoever has soldiers can become king and hegemony. If I take down Runing and give Li Zicheng a soft hand, will Li Zicheng make things difficult for me? If he makes things difficult for me, I won’t be afraid. We can rely on Daming!"

Liu Hongqi raised his wine glass high and said with a big laugh, "Is this the truth, tell me?"

"The head of the family is right." Many local thieves in the hall raised their wine glasses one after another, and responded with a big smile: "That is, as long as we are strong and strong, there will be nothing to eat!"

For a while, the hall was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic, but at this moment, a leader wearing armor pierced ran into the hall and hurriedly reported: "The boss, it's not good, Gao Yihuan from Runing, hurry up!" I'm calling."

As soon as the words were spoken, the laughter in the hall stopped abruptly, and the wine glass that Liu Hongqi brought to his lips froze in mid-air.

"What did you say?" Liu Hongqi looked suspicious as if he had heard a joke, "You said Gao Yihuan was going to hit me, but does he have that strength?"

"Master Gao, Gao Yihuan released the news that we robbed his car and wanted to kill us, and let Master wash his neck and wait for him to chop it off."

"What are you talking about, straight mother, Li Zicheng, Ding Dushi didn't say that, Gao Yihuan, dare to take my head, he has a big tone." Liu Hongqi smashed the wine glass on the table and stood up. He got up and said angrily, "Where is that turtle grandson? Look at me, I killed him!"

Liu Hongqi knew Gao Yihuan a little bit, he knew that he was just a captain before, and thousands of people came to win Ru Ning by means of a sneak attack.

This made Liu Hongqi very unconvinced, and also made him very regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have beaten Runing, otherwise he would not have let this Gao Yihuan take such a big advantage.All the thieves in the hall were also filled with righteous indignation, they didn't take Gao Yihuan seriously, they didn't care about the officers and soldiers or the rogues in Suiping, this Gao Yihuan was so angry.

Everyone yelled and cursed in the hall, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of them, whether Gao Yihuan could beat them, even if they lost, Gao Yihuan could do something to them if they went to the mountains with a cat.

"Reporting to the boss, Gao Yihuan is currently gathering troops in Runing. He hasn't left yet, but word has spread that the whole Runing knows that Gao Yihuan is going to beat us." The leader reported.

Hearing this, Liu Hongqi became even more angry, and dared to speak harshly before the Guisun troops moved.

"The master, Gao Yihuan said something, but the people and horses are still nesting in Runing. What does this mean?" A strong man stood up with a wine bowl and asked with a smile.

"I think this guy feels that we have robbed him of face, so he deliberately said some harsh words in order to save some face, but actually he didn't intend to hit us." Another man stood up and laughed: "We here Backing up the mountain, even if the officers and soldiers don’t attack us, will he attack us?”

Liu Hongqi waved his hand, "I don't care if he comes or not. Since Gao Yihuan let go, I won't show him any color. The heroes of Runing thought I was afraid of him."

"Pass my order! I want to recruit men and horses to teach this guy a lesson." Liu Hongqi said with a smile: "Didn't this guy say he was going to beat me? I beat him first to see if he still has the face to stay in Runing ..."
