Chapter 28 Send-off
(The second update! Red ticket! Collection!)
Gao Yingxiang is also a sensible person and does not force him to join his command. In the future, even if he acts together with Gao Yingxiang, in terms of identity, Xing Tianjun is still a self-contained army. He only cooperates with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's subordinates and does not belong to them. There will be a lot of freedom in action. For the next step In terms of their development, the space is more space. This purpose has been completely achieved by him on his trip to the banquet.
And this time, Gao Yingxiang left first, which can also be regarded as Gao Yingxiang's concession. Gao Yingxiang's subordinates did not have a good impression of Xiao Tianjian because of the mountain tiger, so he was afraid that the two armies would act together and there would be a conflict, so he went to Baoji County first, and the eyes between Li Zicheng and Xiao Tianjian The relationship is still good, so let Xiao Tianjian and Li Zicheng act together, which also reduces a lot of trouble.
Anyway, Xiao Tianjian has achieved his goal this time. Another gain is that he got a beautiful woman back for nothing this time, which is also an unexpected harvest!
However, Xiao Tianjian has a headache about how to place this butterfly. Although this woman is quite outstanding, even more beautiful than Fan Linger, although Xiao Tianjian does not accept the fact that women are excretion, desire tools or can be sent as gifts, and he is eager to reward them to himself. But after all, he is not a saint. He still has a man's lustful instinct, so this is just an idea, but he is a little reluctant. And after thinking about it, I don't think it's really appropriate to do so. After all, this butterfly is a gift given to him by Gao Yingxiang. If he passes it to others again, it will be difficult. In case of not making Gao Yingxiang unhappy, it is estimated that the two sides will cooperate together in a short time. If they are so bad because of this matter, they will not agree with Xiao Tianjian's interests.
So after thinking about it, he returned to the cottage. Xiao Tianjian ordered Tietou to temporarily send the butterfly to his residence and follow Fan Linger for the time being.
After he returned to the village, he kept summoning his men to the charity hall and told them what happened at the banquet today.
I heard that Gao Yingxiang took the initiative to show his goodwill, and also forced the mountain tiger to admit his mistake to Xiao Tianjian in public. These subordinates all had a kind of pleasure of raising their eyebrows and shouting for relief, and there was nothing to say about Gao Yingxiang giving Xiao Tianjian a beautiful woman. Like this kind of thing, in everyone It's also ordinary things in my eyes. Women have no status in this era at all. At best, they are just toys. It's common for people to be given as gifts, so everyone congratulated Xiao Tianjian and congratulated Xiao Tianjian on receiving another beauty.
Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop the congratulations of these guys and said with a wry smile, "Stop it! What kind of mind do I have to take care of these things now? That's all!
What I want to talk about now is what we should do next. I have made an agreement with King Gao Chuang this time. At the latest in the morning of the day, I will pull out the camp and go to Longzhou with Li Chuang's troops. After you go down today, you will immediately check whether the matters under your jurisdiction have been arranged properly.
Liu Bao temporarily led the new barracks to maintain the barracks, assist Jin Fuzi and Zhang Chao to control the barracks, and act with the army! All preparations must be completed within three days. Everything that can be taken away, and everything that cannot be taken away is burned on the spot! From tomorrow, the daily training will be suspended. Let the brothers relax again! Each department inspects the military equipment of the headquarters. If there is any shortage, find Dr. Jin to complete it before noon tomorrow!
Luo Yingjie distributed the prepared grain bags this afternoon. Each of the soldiers and the recruits was loaded with ten catties of rice and grain in case of emergency! The rest of the materials will be temporarily shipped by the barracks, and the whole army will be pulled out early the day after tomorrow!"
After listening to this, the generals stood up one after another to take orders. Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and turned around and withdrew from the charity hall and began to be busy.
The whole Tianlongzhai became lively again. The personnel in charge of logistics such as Jin Fuzi and Luo Yingjie are probably the busiest people. This time, the whole army withdrew from this place. It is not better than the previous battle. It is enough to carry only the needed grain. All materials have to be shipped to various vehicles, and mules and horses are even more Feed them in advance and let them be prepared. These tasks should be handled by specific people. Fortunately, Xiao Tianjian has already begun to prepare. Otherwise, I'm afraid that these things alone can make the people below messy.
The next morning, when the Xingtian army officially began to prepare for evacuation, Xiao Tianjian took a sentry out of Tianlong Village. The reason was very simple. As a landlord, it was necessary for him to send Gao Yingxiang to leave first.
When they left the village, they really saw that Gao Yingxiang's camp outside the mountain was also a noise. People shouted loudly. A team of Gao Yingxiang's subordinates sorted out a small amount of their supplies, put away the tent, put it on the cart, and was ready to set off.
It's not as good as Xiao Tianjian. Gao Yingxiang's department is now short of supplies. Most people are not only soldiers' accounts, and even weapons are not distributed. Many people simply carry a wooden stick cut casually and don't need to make any preparations at all. Gao Yingxiang's management of these new exiles is also very simple, with one for every 50 people. The old pawn uses this to control these new soldiers, and then integrate them into the army, so although it is convenient to manage, it is difficult to say how much combat effectiveness there is for such a team.
However, Xiao Tianjian also knows that for all kinds of volunteers at present, the last thing they don't worry about is the problem of manpower. Now all parts of Shaanxi can be said to be full of hungry people. As long as they give them a bite of food, or promise that they can find food to follow, they will not worry about attracting people at all, and these people who have just joined the team. The exiles are just a number for the generals of the Rebels. They don't care about their combat effectiveness at all. As long as they need it, they will be filled in. If they are chased by the officers and soldiers, these people can completely be abandoned as a means to stop the officers and soldiers.
However, their real core is still the old pawns of thousands of people. Generally speaking, they will not take them out easily, and the combat effectiveness of these veterans should be quite strong. They are all veterans who have accumulated for several years with Gao Yingxiang's southern expedition to the north. They have rich combat experience and dare to use their lives. They are often all Some Rebel generals are used in the most critical places. For those newly recruited troops, the generals of the Rebel Army attach great importance to this group of old pawns. They will distribute the best things to them, and the food and clothing are given by them first, so these people are quite loyal to their leaders.
There is another atmosphere among the Rebels, that is, the relationship between relatives is complex. Many core members are far and near relatives of the leader, and the leader uses these relatives as generals to control the peripheral soldiers under his command, just like the relationship between Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. In this way, they can control the troops more effectively.
Compared with these Rebel leaders, Xiao Tianjian's biggest weakness is that he is not a local and has no relatives to be appointed. However, in this way, Xiao Tianjian's Xing Tianjun can be better fair. As long as there are meritorious or capable people, they will not be suppressed below and cannot be promoted. In contrast, Next, this is also the key to why Xing Tianjun has strong combat effectiveness.
Xiao Tianjian will naturally not tell Gao Yingxiang how to control the army. Although they are in a cooperative relationship now, they may meet each other. No one can guess how much they will develop in the future.
Gao Yingxiang was quite satisfied with Xiao Tianjian's coming out of the village to see him off. In particular, Xiao Tianjian sent Gao Yingxiang ten jars of good wine alone this time, five pigs and sheep and 20 pieces of silk, so Gao Yingxiang came out to thank Xiao Tianjian.
"General Xiao, let you spend money again! Mr. Gao's feelings are endless. As long as Mr. Gao leads the army to take down Baoji County, he will definitely pay it back twice!" After Gao Yingxiang waved his hand and asked his men to receive these materials from Xiao Tianjian's subordinates, he clenched his fist and said to Xiao Tianjian.
"You're welcome! It is an honor to make a modest contribution to the king. My ability is limited, and there are not many things that can be sent to the king. How dare you return these things to the king? Here, we can only wish the king and the generals a victory!" Xiao Tianjian is not stingy with these beautiful words, just asking for a favor before Gao Yingxiang sent troops! He said politely to Gao Yingxiang.
"Good! With the auspicious words of General Xiao, Mr. Gao thanked him! Gao is one step ahead today. I hope General Xiao can go to Longzhou with Hongji tomorrow as promised. We will meet you again in Longzhou!" After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, Gao Yingxiang was still very happy, so after thanking Xiao Tianjian, he once again emphasized their agreement.
"Don't worry about the king of Chuang. Xiao is ordering his subordinates to sort out the materials. He will definitely be able to set out with General Li Chuang to Longzhou tomorrow morning. Let's say goodbye to King Chuang!" Xiao Tianjian arched his hand and said to Gao Yingxiang.
Gao Yingxiang saw that it was not early, so he didn't say much. After making a replacement for Li Zi, who came to see him off, he turned over and arched his hands on the horse to Xiao Tianjian, Li Zicheng and other people who saw him off. The whip raised and made a crisp sound. He immediately set off with his soldiers and headed for Baoji County. .
Looking at the torrent of people rolling away, Xiao Tianjian had to admit that if it was only such a large number of people, it would indeed make people feel shocked. Even if he faced such a torrent, he would probably feel powerless. No wonder the officers and soldiers have been unable to suppress it for so many years. To destroy these rebels, it is estimated that the officers and soldiers with fewer troops saw so many people, not to mention going up and fighting, I'm afraid they will be scared directly, and then go home to wash and sleep.
Nearly 20,000 people stretched more than ten miles on the road. In the eyes of many people seeing off, they gradually disappeared at the end of the road. Li Zicheng smiled at Xiao Tianjian and said, "Then Li will wait here for General Xiao tomorrow!"
"There will never be a delay. Please don't worry!" Xiao Tianjian also said to Li Zicheng with his fist.
