"Li Zicheng" tells the story that Li Zicheng led the rebels to various places and was besieged by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Breaking through Nanyuan in Tongguan and gathering in Shangluo Mountain stopped the mutiny in Shimen Valley and smashed the encirclement and suppression of loyalists. Li Zicheng's request to unite with Zhang failed, and Zhang longed to join Li Zicheng. In order to preserve its strength, Li Zicheng divided his troops and lurked in Yunyang Mountain to actively fight. In winter, taking advantage of the emptiness of officers and men in the Central Plains, they galloped through Henan, followed by hungry people. They also worshipped Song Xiance as their strategist, took Yan Li from Qixian County, and then broke Luoyang and killed the axe king, which was a great success. Luo Rucai, the leader of the rebel army, also left Zhang to form a joint venture with Li Zicheng, headed by Li. They defeated the main force of the Ming army in Henan and attacked Kaifeng three times; Brilliant achievements also exposed many weaknesses, which gave birth to the ultimate failure factor. The work depicts a broad picture of social life and successfully depicts a series of characters such as Li Zicheng, Zhang and Chongzhen.
