Liu Yongxi said very directly: "It is said that the city gate is opened to welcome the King of Chuang. The King of Chuang will not pay food when he comes, but if he really doesn't pay food, what will these millions of thieves eat and drink? Did Li Zicheng become a magic trick? It takes less than three or five months, one or two months to know the success or failure of Li Zicheng!"

Wu Ke suddenly felt that Liu Yongxi’s words were very reasonable, after all, this was also a question that he could not understand for a long time: “My uncle said it very well. I heard that thieves have always used robbery to raise military supplies, but what should I do if I enter the capital? Will I continue to hijack them all four times?”

Liu Yongxi replied: "It's this question that you can conquer the world immediately, but you can never govern the world immediately. For Li Zicheng and the thieves, the real challenge is not how to enter the capital, but after entering the capital! The thieves who have broken through the capital since ancient times, but how much is it really successful?"

Both Wu Ke and the riders around him thought that Liu Yongxi was right, and Wu Ke couldn't help but make up his mind: "Since that's the case, should we pretend to be thieves and give them some fun first, so as to save time and become accomplices of the thieves!"

Liu Yongxi shook his head and said, "Nothing is wrong. Our top priority this time is to go south as soon as possible! Besides, they are very good to us, and we must repay us. Maybe good people will be rewarded!"

Wu Ke felt that Liu Yongxi was a little merciless in this matter, and was a little far from Queen Zhang’s expectations for Xiao Chengyibo, but that night he finally understood what happened to Liu Yongxi’s good people being rewarded: “What? There is a light cavalry behind us?”

Li Huaiqing, who came to report, was an old acquaintance of Wu Ke and a well-known desperate person in the Jingying camp. He said excitedly: "I have made it clear to these troublemakers. Regardless of whether the King of Breaking Recruitment comes or not, the rules of our horse team are to trade fairly. If you give you money, you will take the money as you want. As a result, they were afraid that we would suffer losses. So they said there was a horse team in the north, claiming that the remaining Li Qingshan from Liangshan came to seek revenge!"

Before going south, Zhang Guoji, the Marquis of Taikang, took 10,000 taels of silver to Liu Yongxi, so Liu Yongxi was not short of silver. Now this 20-riding horse team is disciplined better than that of Li Zicheng's elite horse team. No matter how much you eat, how much you use, Liu Yongxi will pay as much as you want, and will not let the villages that supply horse feed along the way suffer losses.

This is the first time I have seen this situation in the villages along the way. After all, "The thief passes like a comb, and the soldiers passes like a comb" is not a false talk. After passing the army, there is no loss in the village, but there is still profit. It seems that only the legendary righteous army that "opens the city gate to welcome the King of Chuang, and the King of Chuang comes and does not pay food." Therefore, Wu Ke's little brother Li Huaiqing can obtain such precious information from the village.

Although the horse team in the north claimed to be the remaining troops of Li Qingshan, after all, when Li Qingshan was in full swing, it was impossible to send the horse team to Northern Zhili. Moreover, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the court had wiped out Li Qingshan's troops under the pretext of recruitment, and the remaining troops were completely inconsistent, so Liu Yongxi and Wu Ke both felt that this bandit horse team could only belong to Li Zicheng's troops.

Liu Yongxi immediately made the decision: "I will give you fifty taels of silver. No matter what, I have to take out the details of this bandits! You must be careful and attentive in this matter. If you don't kill this bandits behind you, I'm afraid we will all be dead!"

Liu Yongxi has been feeling tired these days. He not only wants to master the horse team of Chengyi Bo Mansion, but also has to visit Queen Zhang and deal with some things happening in the fleet a day or two. Fortunately, Queen Zhang gave him full support. Now that he heard that Li Zicheng's horse team has caught up, he is excited and looking forward to the next battle.

After a few days, Liu Yongxi's relationship with this horse team became harmonious, and for the horse team, it was also a high-intensity marching training. Although it was not really accustomed to the enemy, the training between people and people reached a higher level, and even practiced several riding charges, and the combat effectiveness could be said to have improved to a higher level.

Of course, Liu Yongxi has no idea how strong the real combat power of this horse team is. After all, even if the thief Li Zicheng's horse team is not an elite in a hundred battles, he is also a carefully selected outlaw among the thief. The official army encountered a series of devastating failures since the 14th year of Chongzhen. The key is that the cavalry under the thief's command is getting stronger and stronger, and often gives the official army a fatal blow at critical moments.

And more importantly, his horse team has only 20 cavalry in total. Although he doesn't know how many cavalry there are in the bandits' light cavalry, Liu Yongxi feels that he will definitely have dozens of cavalry more than him, and in this case, he must not fight easily.

Wu Ke immediately replied: "Old Li and I will ask the goal of the thieves."

He and his old friend Li Huaiqing quickly asked for further information with money: "This bandit cavalry is looking for some big ship along the canal, but they have not succeeded in the past two days!"

Li Huaiqing had already figured out this problem: "They should be searching for our fleet of Chengyi Bo Mansion along the canal. Fortunately, the ships on the canal are now under the banner of our Chengyi Bo Mansion!"

When the fleet moved south from Tongzhou, Liu Yongxi released dozens of merchant ships and canal ships sealed in Zhangjiawan under the name of Chengyi Bo Mansion. The only requirement was that they had to take the banner of Chengyi Bo Mansion, which led to the entire canal now being ships under the banner of Chengyi Bo Mansion.

Moreover, whenever Liu Yongxi encounters these merchant ships and canal ships that are heading south at the same time in the past two days, he will definitely check whether they have used the banner of Sincerity Bo Mansion.

If there were merchant ships and the canal ships did not take the banner of Chengyi Bo Mansion, Liu Yongxi would definitely deal with it severely, even to the point where whenever they encountered a ship, they would ask them to take the banner of Chengyi Bo Mansion.

Wu Ke and Li Huaiqing used to think that Liu Yongxi was too fond of face, but now they think that Liu Yongxi's decision was too wise. The merchant ships and canal ships in the entire canal were under the banner of the sincerity Bo Mansion. It is naturally difficult for this horse team under the banner of the remaining troops of Li Qingshan, Liangshan, to find the fleet of the truly sincere Bo Mansion.

Wu Ke also figured out another question: "They should be the horse team sent by the thief Li Zicheng. Li Qingshan was in Liangshan and ran to Beizhi for what? Fortunately, these thiefs thought this was Jingjin and did not use the banner of Li Zicheng, the king of treasury, otherwise we would be in big trouble!"

Li Huaiqing also had a deep understanding of this: "It seems that the leader of the thief is not smart enough. If he takes the banner of Li Zicheng, the king of treasury, he may be able to catch up immediately, and we don't even have time to react!"

In the case of the complete cut off of the canal transportation, Liu Yongxi's fleet was still too conspicuous. If this horse team was given the banner of Li Zicheng, it would definitely be fully supported by the Shangdou Xiaomin and the local tyrants, and they would find the horse team from Chengyi Bo Mansion as soon as possible.

But since he only dared to take the banner of the remaining Li Qingshan tribe, the villages along the road maintained a neutral or even relatively hostile attitude with the powerful and powerful gentry, making the action of this bandit difficult.
