Chapter 13 Ask for something

In fact, when Tian Jianxiu came, he did not have much hope that Xiao Tianjian would reach out to save Gao Yingxiang. After all, everyone knows what an important person Gao Yingxiang is to the court. This time, he was finally caught by the government. The government will definitely attach great importance to it and will definitely mobilize elites to escort him. Xiao Tianjian has not received the favor of Gao Yingxiang. On the contrary, there are some sorgishness between Gao Yingxiang and Gao Yingxiang, forcing Xiao Tianjian to lead his troops to risk his life to save him. This matter is unreasonable.

When Li Zicheng sent him here, it was not that he did not expect this. It was just that his wife, Mrs. Gao Gao, was Gao Yingxiang's niece. After Gao Yingxiang was captured, she cried all day long and asked Li Zicheng to find a way to rescue him, so Li Zicheng thought of Xiao Tianjian, holding a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and tried it. Attitude sent Tian Jianxiu to find Xiao Tianjian to test whether Xiao Tianjian could lend a helping hand. If so, it would be the best, but if Xiao Tianjian did not agree, there was nothing they could do.

Now it seems that Xiao Tianjian will never help in this matter, so Tian Jianxiu has to accept his fate and say nothing more.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the depressed Tian Jianxiu and said with a smile, "Brother Tian, Xiao actually regards Brother Tian as his brother, and some words are more convenient! In fact, Brother Tian doesn't have to be sad about this, and Brother Hongji doesn't have to run around for this. It's a good thing for Brother Hongji to be captured this time!"

Tian Jianxiu raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Tianjian's gloating tone, so he asked, "What's a good thing? Brother Xiao, are you still angry about the unhappiness of the past? If that's the case, then there's nothing to say!"

Xiao Tianjian really doesn't have a sense of gloating about Gao Yingxiang's defeat and being captured. Even if he suffered a lot from Gao Yingxiang at the beginning, it would not affect his respect for Gao Yingxiang. After all, Gao Yingxiang is a more determined rebel leader who resists the tyranny of the court. They As a colleague, Gao Yingxiang was defeated and captured, which was also a pity for Xiao Tianjian.

Looking at Tian Jianxiu's unhappy look, Xiao Tianjian and Tian Jianxiu touched a cup and said earnestly, "Brother Tian, don't be angry. Xiao is by no means gloating. Xiao is not that kind of villain. The reason why Xiao just said so is that in Xiao's view, the defeat of the king was captured. For Brother Li, it is indeed A good thing. In the past, although Brother Li was nominally a general of eight teams under Gao Chuang's command, he was actually self-contained. In fact, the people and horses of each team under Gao Chuang's command were actually different, just a set of scattered sand. Now Gao Chuang's army is defeated. It is also for this reason that there are traitors under his command, which led to his defeat and capture!

And after Gao Chuang is captured this time, his forces will collapse. Now that this is the case, what Brother Li should consider is not how to rescue Gao Chuang, but to take advantage of this opportunity to reorganize the old department under Gao Chuang's command, carry this banner, and quickly expand your strength, in order to report for Gao Chuang in the next step. Hatred is the top priority!

If Brother Li can seize this opportunity and quickly collect the old department under Gao Chuang's command, he will quickly grow up. In this way, bad things will become good things. Brother Li takes the name of the king, and then he can fight against the government! If Brother Li is willing to do this now, then Xiao is also willing to promote him as the new king. If he needs help, Xiao will not hesitate!"

After listening to this, Tian Jianxiu nodded, raised his glass and drank another cup and said, "That's right, but I'm afraid Brother Xiao doesn't know now. We are having a hard time now!" The dog officials of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting arranged heavy troops all over Shaanxi and kept squeezing us. Now all over Shaanxi is full of red land. We can't get any grain and weapons. Now they are chased by the officials and soldiers everywhere. It can only be difficult to survive!

Since my brother said so, I can only give up the matter of rescuing Gao Chuang, but Tian really has something to ask my brother to help us!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "Brother Tian, if you have something to say, just say it!" As long as Xiao can help, he will definitely find a way to help you!"

Tian Jianxiu said, "At present, we are running around in Shaanxi, and all kinds of materials are extremely scarce. After more than a year of fierce battle with the officers and soldiers, our weapons have been greatly lost, and there is a shortage of salt and grain!

We heard that you are doing well in this area. It is expected that there must be more doorway than us, so I don't know if you can help us raise some weapons and salt food. As long as we have weapons, we are not afraid of those officers and soldiers! Our general will definitely be able to carry the banner of breaking the word and continue to fight against the government!

Of course! We won't let our brothers provide us with these things for nothing. Over the years, we have also accumulated some yellow and white things on hand. As long as we are willing to help, we are willing to buy these things from our brothers at a high price. I wonder if we can help us with this?

Xiao Tianjian laughed secretly in his heart. In fact, it was fake for Li Zicheng to send Tian Jianxiu to come here this time and begged him to send troops to save Gao Yingxiang. I'm afraid it's the real purpose to come to him to help collect Jia salt grain!

In fact, he didn't need to say that Li Zicheng himself knew that after the defeat of Wang Gao Yingxiang, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for him. As long as Gao Yingxiang was there, he would never see Li Zicheng, the eight-team generals, in the Rebel Army. No matter how big he made trouble, it was nominally Gao Yingxiang's part.

Now that Gao Yingxiang has been defeated and captured, his old subordinates will naturally fall apart. Some of them will follow Li Zicheng. In this way, Li Zicheng has made a lot of profits in this matter, and what are the benefits of saving Gao Chuang? After Gao Yingxiang was rescued, as long as he raised his arm and shouted, the king of the breakthrough was still Gao Yingxiang, and soon many people would reunite with his men. For Li Zicheng, it was impossible to get a little cheap.

When Li Zicheng sent Tian Jianxiu, he was afraid that he had already seen clearly that Xiao Tianjian would never take action on the rescue of Gao Yingxiang, so he sent Tian Jianxiu. Otherwise, Li Zicheng might not have sent Tian Jianxiu to find him!

And Tian Jianxiu is more honest. Of course, he can't guess Li Zicheng's idea. He is still upset that Xiao Tianjian refuses to save Gao Chuangwang. Now he has no choice but to say what Li Zicheng really thinks.

After listening to Tian Jianxiu's words, Xiao Tianjian nodded and agreed. In fact, there is no need to think about this matter. Now Xiao Tianjian needs Li Zicheng to be more happy. If Li Zicheng makes a lot of noise, then the court will not pay attention to his Xing Tianjun, and his life in Xing Tianjun will be better. Pass some.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has not collapsed immediately, Xiao Tianjian is not crazy enough to think that he will sweep the world with these forces at hand. For a long time to come, he needs volunteers like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and so on to contain the power of the officers and soldiers. Quantity.

What's more, at present, his Xing Tianjun's finances are also very tight. After constantly purchasing materials and rewards, the money he has been robbed over the years has little money on hand. And Xing Tianjun is fighting a war now. It is different from the past, and the requirements for logistics are getting bigger and bigger. It is impossible to have no money. He must It is necessary to open the door to money. Just by doing business with the Fan family and some merchants, he can't meet his needs now, so it is necessary for him to find a bigger buyer for what he produces.

Li Zicheng sent Tian Jianxiu at a good time this time. He had a lot of iron on hand to buy it to balance their income and expenditure. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian didn't have to think too much about this matter at all, so he immediately agreed.

"No problem! Brother, I also know the difficulties on your side of Brother Hongji. It's just that we didn't get in touch with you a few days ago. Now that Brother Tian has come to find me, Xiao, how can I sit idly by?

Everything is easy to say about the armor. Since Brother Li needs it, I can squeeze out a part of it and give it to you. Brother Tian, our friendship. As for the price, everything is naturally easy to say! I will never let you suffer losses!

But in terms of salt and grain, I'm afraid it's not easy to do! Brother Tian also knows that Shanxi has just experienced the spring drought, and the summer grain has not been collected yet. We are still in severe shortage of grain, so it goes without saying that we will take it out for you! But on the salt, we still have some accumulation, and we can give you some! I hope Brother Tian can understand his brother's hardships!"

This time, Tian Jianxiu had no problem with Xiao Tianjian. Seeing that Xiao Tianjian was so cheerful, he agreed to his request. Then this time he came to Shanxi, at least it was equivalent to completing half of Li Zicheng's instructions to him, and Tian Jianxiu didn't care about Xiao Tianjian. Under such circumstances, to them He was very grateful for his help. He quickly got up and thanked Xiao Tianjian. Everyone knows the problem of food. Shanxi is also suffering from famine. It is also reasonable that Xing Tianjun can't squeeze out food. Xiao Tianjian can promise to provide them with armor and salt, which has made him very satisfied.

So Tian Jianxiu immediately became much more excited. He drank it with Xiao Tianjian. During this period, he had to tell Xiao Tianjian the situation of all kinds of volunteers in detail. For Xiao Tianjian, these news could not be bought with money. After listening to what Tian Jianxiu said, Xiao Tian Jian made a general judgment that after the attack on the rebels in Shaanxi by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the losses of the rebels from all walks of life were very great, and so far, they have not really understood why they had such a dilemma.

And these news are naturally very valuable for Xiao Tianjian. An inadvertent words made Xiao Tianjian suddenly find a huge opportunity. Although at present, all kinds of rebels have gradually entered the low tide because of the joint attack of Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others, but to them For Xing Tianjun, it is also a rare opportunity. Lu Xiangsheng transferred to the north to Xuanda Shanxi, so the strength of the next army in Henan will be weakened. Now all the rebels in Henan have been driven out of Henan, so there is a rare power vacuum in Henan.

While Xiao Tianjian drank with Tian Jianxiu, he thought about it in his heart. After a drinking, he and Tian Jianxiu said something similarly.
