Chapter 4 Rob the Target
It was not yet dawn, and Xiao Tianjian was awakened by a nightmare. He dreamed that someone was holding a steel knife and slashed at him, so he shouted and sat up suddenly. He grabbed the waist knife beside him and looked up and saw the men around him staring at him with surprise. Then he quickly wiped a handful of sweat, a little He stood up with an awkward dry cough.
Tie Tou quickly handed the bamboo tube filled with water to him. Xiao Tianjian took a few mouthfuls, and then calmed down. When he was asleep, he dreamed that these days, the person he was robbed and killed by him asked for his life, but he was powerless to resist, especially the beggar who was taken away from the vegetable ball, pulling him and kept screaming. , give me back my life!
Shaking his head, Xiao Tianjian gradually calmed down. He comforted himself in his heart. He was right. In order to live, he should do so. No matter what time in the world is the law of the jungle. Only the strong can survive. As a weak, he can only be eliminated, so he should not have any guilt, let alone Moreover, even if the beggar had that vegetable ball, he would not have been able to survive, so he used this excuse to make himself feel more at ease.
"Palm plate, where are we going today?" Zhao Erlu saw that Xiao Tianjian had woken up, so he hurried over and asked Xiao Tianjian.
This question was also a question that Xiao Tianjian considered before going to bed last night. He waved to several people who followed him first to come over and asked them, "Do you know if there are any other big families around here that let us do it?"
Everyone's faces are a little difficult, and they have also understood the meaning of Xiao Tianjian's question, which is to ask them to come up with an idea to find someone they can do!
However, at present, the rebels have been making trouble in the area of Shaanxi for nearly many years. In addition, the officers and soldiers have often chased and suppress the rebels in Shaanxi over the years. The two sides have been fighting. Shaanxi has long been in danger of themselves, not to mention that the discipline of the officers and army is corrupt. They are obviously officers and soldiers, but these officers and soldiers can't get paid money, and they can't eat and wear. In addition to rob, There is no good way, so the officers and soldiers are much more fierce than the chaotic army. Any bad thing can be done. Now all places are already in a mess. The rich have already fled to other places wrapped in their wealth, or simply build an earthen castle and recruit Jiading to defend themselves, even hundreds of them. It is not easy for thousands of rebels to easily attack a local tycoon's fortress at present. What's more, they are just such a few people. If they want to capture a stockade or earthen castle, it can basically be said that they are going to die.
So after Xiao Tianjian asked this sentence, everyone did not answer. They looked at each other, and no one came out to answer.
Xiao Tianjian was really helpless when he saw that everyone was not talking, but he then asked again to see if there was any way!
This time, someone finally answered, and the person who answered was Feng Gouzi who was whipped yesterday. The thin monkey Feng Gouzi endured the pain on his back and carefully came over to Xiao Tianjian and said, "Palm plate, from us, more than 20 miles to the west, there is an old castle, which is Liu Papi's old house. We might as well go there and do him a vote. I heard that this rich family has a lot of food, which is enough for us to eat for a while!"
As soon as his voice fell, someone immediately raised an objection. A man named Yang Laoben pointed to Feng Gouzi and scolded, "Well, you Feng Gouzi, even if you whipped your whip yesterday, you can't hurt our brothers like this!" Who doesn't know that Liu Pipi's castle is not easy to fight? Last time, hundreds of rebels attacked for a few days, and a hundred people died, and they couldn't knock down his stockade. Why don't you let us fight Liu Pipi's stockade?
Palm plate, this matter doesn't work, and you can't listen to this man. We only have a little manpower. In my opinion, it's better to vote for the king! The little one heard that there were hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of King Gao Chuang. With the ability to control the plate, if he defected to King Gao Chuang, he could at least be a leader!"
Zhao Erlu's words immediately attracted some people's approval. They pointed to Feng Gouzi and scolded one after another, saying that Feng Gouzi had bad intentions and wanted to kill everyone. Some people even rolled their arms and rolled their sleeves to repair Feng Gouzi.
"Shut up! Do you still have my palm plate in your eyes? I mentioned the matter. It's better for Feng Gouzi to put forward his opinion than you saying nothing! Let Feng Gouzi finish speaking, and I will decide whether to go or not!" Xiao Tianjian suddenly frowned and scolded these people.
Of course, Xiao Tianjian knows who the King Gao Chuangwang said by Zhao Erlu is. From what he knows in later generations, of course, he knows that the King Gao Chuang is Gao Yingxiang, and Li Zicheng was elected as the new King after Gao Yingxiang was defeated and died. At this time, the world's largest leader of the Rebel Army should be Gao Yingxiang, and he is not I have thought about it. During this period, he is also thinking about how to do it next. Unfortunately, he is very clear about Gao Yingxiang's end. He knows that Gao Yingxiang is not a person who can achieve great things. Sooner or later, he will be captured by the government and end up being scratched alive! Therefore, Xiao Tianjian doesn't think it's a good idea to rely on Gao Yingxiang, not to mention that he doesn't know where Gao Yingxiang is now, and there is no place to look for him!
Now, in addition to Gao Yingxiang, several more famous volunteers are Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Hui, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and so on. Although Xiao Tianjian has heard of these people, it is certain that these people have no chance of success except for Li Zicheng, who almost succeeded later. So he doesn't want to turn to them. What's more, with his identity and the strength of his men, even if he goes to vote for them, if it's good, give him a little leader. If people look down on him, he can only be a cannon fodder! So he basically doesn't think about this matter at the time, and it's better to be the boss himself!
Therefore, Zhao Er Lv asked him to lead this group of people to Gao Yingxiang. Xiao Tianjian immediately became very angry and immediately scolded Zhao Er Lv. As soon as everyone heard Xiao Tianjian's words, they quickly shut up and stayed aside.
"Feng Gouzi, after you finish your words, why did you suggest that we go to fight Liu Pi's stockade? What do you think?" Xiao Tianjian turned to Feng Gouzi and asked him.
Feng Gouzi looked at Xiao Tianjian gratefully and quickly replied, "Palm plate!" I'm not sincere about hurting everyone! Some time ago, I heard that after Liu Papi was attacked by the rebels, although his stockade was not captured by the rebels, Liu Papi was also scared. He took most of his family and family, and transferred most of his wealth to the new house in Fengxiang Mansion. At present, there are not many people left in his old house, most of them. They are all his tenants, and his housekeeper takes care of the old house!
Although his stockade is very strong, the small one went in and stole his family's things before. He knew that there was a place to sneak in. We are few people and are doing things well. The small one can lead the way, which is not guaranteed to success!
What I said is true, and I will never lie to you! Otherwise, I won't die!"
When Feng Gouzi said these words, Xiao Tianjian kept staring into his eyes. After he finished his words, Xiao Tianjian did not find Feng Gouzi's eyes flashing. After a dark calculation for a while, he made up his mind.
"Good! I believe you! Since you said so, let's do a big ticket today and beat Liu Papi's stockade!" Xiao Tianjian stood up and said to everyone present.
Everyone was a little embarrassed, and some doubted whether Xiao Tianjian was crazy. He actually believed the words of Feng Gouzi, a ruffian, and led them to beat Zhuangzi, Liu Pi. This is simply joking about their lives! Everyone couldn't help but make up their minds whether to go with them or not.
Looking at the eyes of these people around him, Xiao Tianjian had to be more patient. He found a wooden stake to sit down and said to everyone, "I know you are afraid, but since you have followed me Xiao Tianjian in this industry, there is no way back!"
I don't need to say that you understand it. Think about what kind of life we used to live in before. If you want to live in this world, you can only starve to death. We have been fooling around for almost a month now, but now we can only eat half full every day, that is, we dare not fight hard. If it goes on like this, or we will be early. Go to beg for dinner at night, wait to starve to death, or just do something big, and you can hold on for more days!
It's better to die early and die late. It's better to let go! It's done. We don't have to worry about food and clothing for a period of time in the future. If we lose, we can just leave!
I know you look down on Feng Gouzi, but since Feng Gouzi has followed me, I will treat him as my brother, and so do I for you!
I believe in Feng Gouzi. I smoked him yesterday because he made a mistake, but as long as he still follows me for a day, I will trust him for a day! If you don't have the courage, you can not follow me today, but the people who stay should not be greedy and afraid of death. Otherwise, I can't tolerate him!"
Feng Gouzi listened to Xiao Tianjian's words, and his nose suddenly became sour again, and tears almost flowed out again...
The iron head stood up and said angrily, "I followed the palm plate, and he said wherever he went!" Our lives are given by the palm plate, not the palm plate. You have been starving to death for a long time. You are afraid of nothing! It's a big deal!" He pressed hard on the newly obtained waist knife at his waist, as if he was demonstrating to the crowd.
Then the tiger-headed bull also stood up and said, "I'll go with the palm plate. Tietou is right. If it hadn't been for the palm plate, we would have starved to death. How could we stay here? These days, my life is low, and I'm afraid of death. Damn it, I'm going to risk it!"
In the end, no one chose to leave, because everyone knew that if they left, they might not be able to live for a few days. At present, they could have someone to take with them, or at least there was a glimmer of hope, so although everyone was a little worried, they stayed in the end.
More than 20 miles is not far, but for their group of people, they still walked for most of the day and didn't come near Liujiazhuang until the afternoon.
After Xiao Tianjian raised his hand, everyone squatted down in a ditch, stretched out their heads by the ditch and looked at the earth castle in front of them.
Liu Papi is indeed rich. After a lot of operation, his Zhuangzi now covers dozens of mu of land. More than ten feet of rammed earth walls have been built around it, and the four corners are made of arrow towers made of logs. Only the front and back doors are available for people to enter and exit, and there is a deep trench around the village. When you enter Zhuangzi, you have to put down the suspension bridge. There is open farmland around it. You can see it far from the earthen wall. Basically, some people are close to Zhuangzi and can't avoid the eyes of the people in Zhuangzi. It is definitely a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Looking at the situation of Liujiazhuang, everyone couldn't help taking a breath of cold air. No wonder the chaotic army can't beat Liujiazhuang. It's really difficult to deal with here. Otherwise, in the past few years, Zhuangzi like this should have been beaten down by all kinds of bandits. How can they still be here? Some people couldn't help but start scolding Feng Gouzi again, complaining that this man was so good. How could they think of proposing to come here to fight this Zhuangzi?
Xiao Tianjian also lay on the edge of the ditch and looked at the Liujiazhuang in front of him carefully. He also secretly had some mistakes in his heart. He was very clear about his current strength. If he wanted to take Liu Jiazhuang with these people, he was simply looking for his own death. Without waiting for them to run under the earth wall of Zhuangzi, I'm afraid he would be in the village. Zhuang Ding shot him to death outside the village with his arrows. He couldn't help but be a little worried. He decided to fight here today. Was he a little poor and crazy? He felt a little greedy and swallowed the elephant. Was he too impulsive?
