Chapter 1 The Battle of Oolong

The weather has become colder and colder with the north wind. The cold current brought by the small glacial period has a much greater impact on Shaanxi than before or in the future. The cold wave came earlier than before. It was just in October that the temperature at night was freezing, and the green of the earth began to turn yellow. After entering the end of October, the temperature is even lower to the point where water is almost dripping into ice, and the earth can no longer see a trace of green.

In the mountains in the south of Yichuan County, a gray team slowly marched through the winding mountain road. Nearly two months passed in a blink of an eye. Xing Tianjun turned to Shaanxi all the way. With Xiao Tianjian's instructions, he constantly changed his direction and slowly marched to the northeast of Shaanxi.

Along the way, in addition to constantly sending scouts to inquire about the information ahead, Xiao Tianjian also ordered Fu Deming to collect all kinds of information about the officials, the court and all kinds of rebels from the exiles encountered along the way, and according to the collected information, he constantly changed the direction of the march and always avoided the big The officers and the rebels encountered no major battles along the way, and they also avoided several troops of the officers and the rebels.

But this does not mean that they can completely avoid all the officers or rebels. When they pass through the Pozhou area at the end of September, they still meet the rebels all the way.

Xiao Tianjian was on his way to move east. During the safety period, in addition to sending scouts to explore the road, he would also arrange two sentry soldiers to open the road in front of him. This time, when he met the righteous soldiers in the territory of Kozhou, it happened to be Feng Gouzi and Li Shuanzhu led his troops to open the road in front, and what they did not expect was the other party's road. As soon as the Rebels saw them, regardless of their bright identity, they immediately surrounded them with a large number of people. Obviously, they saw that the soldiers and horses under the command of Feng and Li were better equipped, and they wanted to bully more and rob them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng and Li immediately sent people to report to Xiao Tianjian, who followed him, and stood up on the spot to meet the enemy and started to fight with these im moral people.

The mutant army of about 2,000 people on this road did not play the banner or register. As soon as they saw Feng and Li, they took action directly, so the battle was unclear. After Xiao Tianjian heard the news, he immediately led the two sentry soldiers of Yan Chongxi and Feng Gouzi to the front battlefield.

When he arrived at the battlefield, there was a fierce battle here. More than 2,000 mulees who couldn't tell where they came from were surrounding the two sentries of Feng and Li.

Xiao Tianjian was furious when he saw this. He immediately led his troops and ran over. When the well-trained soldiers under Feng and Li fought against these two thousand unknown volunteers, they did not fall behind, but formed a round array to fight against it. He put down nearly a hundred enemy generals face to face, which made the other party a little afraid. He was afraid of his tail and didn't dare to be so arrogant anymore. Then he was rushed from behind by Xiao Tianjian. More than two thousand people scattered away even if they were hit hard.

Yan Chongxi and Zhao Erlu saw the enemy's collapse, and then joined Feng and Li. They covered up hundreds of people and captured hundreds of people at once. Later, under Xiao Tianjian's order, they took the troops and cleaned the battlefield. After some interrogation, Xiao Tianjian knew that this road had become the way for the people's army. It turned out that this road was actually Cao. Luo Rucai's generals, and since Luo Rucai entered Shaanxi, he did not unite with Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and marched to the northwest. Instead, he led an army around Xi'an Prefecture and plundered the area of Yan'an Prefecture. At this time, he was active in the north of Pozhou.

And this one encountered and clashed with Xing Tianjun was led by his general Wang Long, who was washing and plundering in the area of Pozhou. He happened to meet the front men and horses of the Xing Tianjun. Wang Long took a fancy to the equipment of Feng and Li's soldiers and planned to swallow the men and horses of Feng and Li in one bite. The result was very Unfortunately, they kicked on the iron plate and didn't take advantage of it. Instead, they were beaten by the Xing Tianjun. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Long fled even with a small number of soldiers.

This battle made Xiao Tianjian a little embarrassed to laugh and cry. Originally, they were all people who rose up and rebelled against the imperial court. Although there was no intersection, it was at least the same kind. And Luo Rucai, Wang Long, actually wanted to eat black and swallowed the Xing Tianjun, but you always have to ask your identity and see if you can't move. Right! Now it's good. The result is that he bites it down. Instead of biting a piece of meat of Xing Tianjun, he broke his teeth. Needless to say, this time, Xing Tianjun will definitely have a grudge with Luo Ru first!

Xiao Tianjian couldn't laugh or cry and let people take the prisoners down. He sat on a stone and smiled bitterly and thought about this battle. Even he didn't know how to evaluate this battle, and he was a little strange. He didn't know whether it was his life hard or something. It seemed that he was born to compete with all kinds of volunteers and could not be put aside with anyone. In one place, there will be conflicts when they meet. At least Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng have not torn their faces. This time, the person who met Luo Rucai simply said nothing. They directly cut each other with a knife, killed hundreds of his men and captured hundreds of people. What's the matter?

But he was beaten and killed. At this time, he can't let him run to find Luo Ru to compensate, right? So after thinking about it, he immediately ordered to pack up, continue to travel, and bypass the area of Pozhou as soon as possible to avoid encountering Luo Rucai's soldiers and horses again, and avoid another inexplicable fight.

As for the hundreds of prisoners, he took a look. There were only a small number of young soldiers, most of whom were old, weak and disabled soldiers (the natural strength of running slowly and being caught is not much! He has been strong and his legs have slipped away for a long time!), he did not meet his recruitment requirements at all, and he was too lazy to take them in, so he waved his hands and asked his men to let these people go. Only a few dozens of young people who met his requirements were included in the criminal army. Anyway, most of these people were recruited by Luo Rucai in the past few months. The exiles can't talk about loyalty. These dozens of young people see that Xing Tianjun is so fierce and have a sense of attachment, but they will not insist on leaving to find Luo Ru!

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xiao Tianjian was surprised to find that after this battle, it was not just a big victory. Luo Ru's men robbed him all the way and robbed a lot of money and food. Because of the cover-up of Xing Tianjun, they lost another clean one, which made Xing Tianjun, who had already begun to lack supplies. Unexpectedly, a large number of supplies were replenished. The food alone is enough for them to eat for another ten days and a half months. They don't have to attack the fortress along the way for a short time, so that they will no longer worry about the food shortage.

'Thanks to the Virgin Mary, Luo Rucai's men really know how to send help in the snow! It seems that this hatred is big this time!' Looking at the seized money and grain, Xiao Tianjian exclaimed secretly in his heart.

Xing Tianjun's morale was greatly boosted, and they regained their spirits one by one, and they resumed their happy songs and laughter along the way, which made their morale, which had begun to be a little depressed, cheered up again. They carried a large number of new grain and accelerated their speed across Pozhou and towards the east. Go face to face.

What Xiao Tianjian didn't know was that he had just led his army across Pozhou and went south to Luochuan. When he learned that Luo Rucai, who had suffered a great loss, he led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the area of Pozhou, but he missed the Xing Tianjun and failed to hit the Xing Tianjun, which also made no more conflict between the two sides.

However, Luo Rucai still remembered the name of Xing Tianjun. After inquiry, he actually learned that the Xing Tianjun, which made his men look for teeth, was actually the righteous army that had just risen in Shaanxi recently. A month ago, he was still in Longzhou to attack Longzhou City with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. Unexpectedly, it suddenly came out. Now in the area of Pozhou, there is a strong fight with his men.

After taking stock of the losses, Luo Ru completely remembered the name of Xing Tianjun. This hatred was also settled. However, for a moment, he did not know where Xing Tianjun had gone. He led the army all the way to Luochuan, and completely lost the trace of Xing Tianjun. He had to lead his troops back and attacked the area of Yan'anfu again.
