Chapter 25 Li Chuang's Revitalizing
At this time, Luo Li had led his generals to the dock. Hearing Xiao Tianjian looking for him, he immediately strode to Xiao Tianjian and shouted, "The second battalion commander Luo Li reported to the general!"
Xiao Tianjian looked at Luo Li with red feathers on his helmet and solemnly ordered him, "Okay! Before dark tonight, you lead your troops to board the ship, cross the river overnight, leave a sentinel to control the river bank, and do a good response for the follow-up soldiers to cross the river! After you go ashore, immediately lead your troops to Mianchi County. Be sure to rush to Mianchi County before tomorrow night. I'll give you a day in the morning the day after tomorrow to take down Mianchi County! Can you do it?"
After listening to it, Luo Li immediately straightened his chest and shouted, "I'm obedient! There is no problem. The day after tomorrow, I will definitely take Mianchi County and wait for the arrival of the general in Mianchi County! Otherwise, the general will cut off my head!"
After listening to this, the generals all smiled one after another. Luo Li, this guy, has now become Xiao Tianjian's iron fist. No matter what he does, this guy will lead his troops to the front, and Yan Chongxi is in the Xing Tianjun, and is also called living Yan Luo. Xiao Tianjian let this guy take the lead this time. It should be He valued his belligerent temper with a fiery temper.
Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "You have a head and always ask me to cut it. Am I willing to do it? Ha ha! You'd better keep this head by yourself! Remember, after taking down the Mianchi County, restrain your subordinates and don't plunder the people in the city. This time we go south to Henan, we can't learn from other volunteers and grab all the most! We are Xing Tianjun, not bandits, which should be made clear to the people in Henan! If you can't do this, my knife will really cut your head!"
After hearing this, Luo Li immediately smiled and said, "General, don't worry, those bastards under his subordinates don't dare to give them courage!" When I took the oath, the general's words were clear! The soldiers know what to do and what not to do. If anyone dares to disobey the military order, the general does not need to draw a knife, and he will cut off their heads and hang them on the gate!"
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "Then I'm relieved! Stop talking nonsense and let's go..."
At the same time, in a volunteer camp in Weinan Mountain, Shaanxi Province, Li Zicheng, with his generals, looked at the weapons piled up on the ground one by one, and all of them looked happy.
"Good guy! This steel mouth is really not bad! I didn't expect that the guy surnamed Xiao, who hasn't seen him for two years, is so popular! This bird also looks good. I heard that their Xing Tianjun relies on this. They have repeatedly fought so that the officers and soldiers can't fight. If we get more of this, we will be afraid of Hong Laojiu in the future!" Liu Zongmin first picked up a single knife and looked at the steel mouth, and then picked up a bird and drew it. He was originally a blacksmith and knew how to do it. After reading it, he was very satisfied.
Li Guo also picked up a bird, put it on his shoulder, nodded and said, "It's true that we didn't expect that Shanxi was a dead place, but we didn't expect that the man ran to occupy such a large place!" The officers and soldiers in Shanxi can't do anything about them! If I had known, we would have gone to Shanxi last year!"
Originally, since the uprising, the Rebels have been fighting for years, mainly relying on the bravery of the generals, and the vast majority of them are cold weapons. They don't pay much attention to firearms at all. Occasionally, some artillery is also used to attack the city and tug the fortress, and the gunpowder is used. After that, he immediately threw it away. No one paid attention to things like birds at all.
However, when they learned that the Xing Tianjun was equipped with a large number of birds and relied on this thing to repeatedly defeat the officers and soldiers, gradually Li Zicheng also began to pay attention to firearms. Therefore, after learning more about the situation of Xing Tianjun's several battles with the officers in Shanxi, this time he sent Tian Jianxiu to Xing Tianjun to try. He put forward the idea of collecting 500 birds.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianjian was really not stingy with this kind of thing. He met his requirements and allocated 500 bird pins to Tian Jianxiu, and even carried a lot of three-eyed pins and crutches, which made Li Zicheng and others happy.
However, Xiao Tianjian was not kind-hearted enough to give Li Zicheng the specially made bird of Xing Tianjun he was using. Instead, he collected a batch of old birds used by the township soldiers and a batch of old birds captured from the hands of the officers and soldiers in the warehouse, so that the craftsmen could overhaul it again and handed them back to Tian Jianxiu. In Shaanxi, and the price is not low. A bird sold 15 taels of silver, which is also a sufficient use of old things.
Although Xiao Tianjian looks down on these junks now, but in the hands of Li Zicheng, these things have become treasures. They are held in the hands of Li Zicheng's subordinates, and they can't put them down. Even if Li Zicheng ordered, he selected 500 subordinates from his army and listed them separately. Huoling Camp, I have the intention to use this kind of thing to practice well with Hong Chengchou.
Tian Jianxiu has done such a big thing, with a bright face. He said to Li Zicheng, "King of Chuangwang, General Xiao is a sincere person. There is no shortage of things we want, and he has given us a lot of things!" He also said that as long as we need it in the future, he will definitely help us!"
At the beginning, Li Zicheng was still happy, but after watching these guys, he walked behind his back to the place where there was no one. Tian Jianxiu also followed him step by step and continued to say to him, "This time I went to their side. Xiao Tianjian's subordinate Feng Gouzi told me that Xiao Tianjian was about to wave the south. He entered Henan. This time, as long as his Xing Tianjun enters Henan, it will definitely not be a small trouble. It happens to contain the power of the officers and army for us!"
Li Zicheng looked at Tian Jianxiu and said to him, "Yu, Feng, you have also been to Shanxi twice. In your opinion, how is the combat effectiveness of the Xing Tianjun under Xiao Tianjian? What's the situation on his territory?"
After listening to this, Tian Jianxiu said with some envy, "In the words of breaking back to the king, Xiao Tianjian is really extraordinary. These two humble jobs went to his territory, and what he saw was really shocking!
Disasters are everywhere in Shanxi, but on the territory of his Xing Tianjun, people are stable, and the grain in the land is also full. Although the people look poor, I have been there twice, and I have never seen a starving on his territory! In such troubled times, it makes people feel like a little paradise!
And the officers of the Xingtian Army are strict military discipline, and each of them is extremely tough. They all look like dragons and tigers are fierce, and they are excellently equipped. They are all elite soldiers and generals! Otherwise, the officers and soldiers would have repeatedly invaded and defeated them, and they would not have been beaten to death!"
After listening to this, Li Zicheng did not show joy on his face. He sneered and said, "Although Gao Chuangwang and I have seen that this person is not a person in the pool before, I still didn't expect that this Xiao would be so powerful!"
This guy is a very calculating person. In fact, this time he can gain a firm foothold in Shanxi, or thanks to us. If we hadn't gone to Henan in the winter of the year before last, broke through Zhongdu, and attracted all the attention of the imperial government to us, how could he be so proud?
Although he is very generous to us this time, in fact, I don't think he is so kind to us! You should know that when we were in Longzhou, we didn't treat him very well. Why did he treat us like this?
I've seen these things. Most of them are captured by them. Basically, they are things captured from the hands of officers and soldiers. Although it's not bad, he is a capitalless business. Only a small number of them were created by them. They gave them to us, but they received tens of thousands of taels of silver from us. This time he made money. It's full of pots!
Also, I can see clearly that he is a guy who can't afford to get up early. Why does he lead his troops to Henan now?
Don't you see that most of us have been driven back to Shaanxi by the officers and soldiers? This man is ambitious! It seems that he wants to achieve something!
If I expect it well, this person will become our great enemy sooner or later! If you don't believe it, let's wait and see!"
Tian Jianxiu was a little dissatisfied with what Li Zicheng said. After all, Xiao Tianjian helped them a lot this time. This batch of weapons is very important to them at present. He armed them with thousands of people at once. If it weren't for this batch of goods, they would not know how sad they would be in the future, but Looking at Li Zicheng's meaning, he didn't have any gratitude for Xiao Tianjian. On the contrary, he still had some hatred for Xiao Tianjian.
So Tian Jianxiu said, "Does the King have a misunderstanding about Brother Xiao? In my opinion, Xiao Tianjian is good. At present, we are very difficult. Even if we have money, we can't buy anything, but he took out so many weapons for us at once! It's not bad for us! What's more, the world is in chaos at present. It's not bad for us to go to Henan. Why doesn't the king like him so much? If that's the case, then at worst, we won't do business with them next!"
Li Zicheng also knew that Tian Jianxiu and Xiao Tianjian had a good relationship, so he patted Tian Jianxiu on the shoulder and said, "Yu, Feng, don't think I have any predeeds to him, but this person does act very differently from other volunteers. I'm afraid his ambition is not as small as you think!" It's not that I can't tolerate it. Since he is willing to help us now, it's naturally the best thing! You can't break the contact with them, not to mention that he entered Henan. At present, there are only good and no harm to us. It can contain a lot of officers and military forces in Henan. In addition, hundreds of thousands of troops from all walks of life can't stand on Henan. He only relies on thousands of troops, even as you said, he is very tough. I don't believe that he can deal with more than 100,000 officers and soldiers in Henan! I'd like to see how capable he is! In a word, it is not bad for us to lead his troops to Henan, and it is more convenient for us to act on our side!
As for silver, I won't regret it. He wants money. We want weapons and armor. As long as he is willing to sell weapons to us, then we might as well buy more! I'd like to see how far Xiao Tianjian can go! You just need to contact them more about the matter here. Now he is no longer in Longzhou City, and there is no need to look up to our noses at all! So when it's time to cooperate, it's better for us to cooperate with them!
Let's go! Brothers, let's discuss where we should go next! ......”
After Li Zicheng got Xiao Tianjian's support for their batch of weapons, the momentum suddenly became much stronger. The subordinates who were originally holding the tattered weapons were all replaced by the guys who took advantage of it, and their courage was suddenly much stronger, especially the newly obtained 500 bird shots and a batch of three-eyed and crutches. His strength has increased a lot.
After discussing with his men, Li Zicheng led his troops out of the mountains of Weinan and then killed in the direction of Hanzhong.
And the matter that Li Zicheng was supplemented from Shanxi soon spread among all kinds of volunteers in Shaanxi, so Luo Ru, who was also active in Shaanxi with Li Zicheng, suddenly came to life. After discussing with his men, he thought that Shaanxi was under the full efforts of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, their Life is getting harder and harder. Since Xiao Tianjian can stand in Shanxi, why can't they also go to Shanxi?
So Luo Ru made up his mind and led more than 20,000 people to move towards Hancheng. He gradually gathered around Hancheng and began to wait for the Yellow River to freeze. After crossing the Yellow River at any time, he also drove to Shanxi.
As for other volunteers such as Lao Hui and other road volunteers, they also began to turn their eyes to Shanxi, but they also secretly wanted to establish contact with Xing Tianjun and get some supplements from Xing Tianjun. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian became a favorite in the eyes of all kinds of volunteers and sent people to Shanxi one after another.
(Woo-hoo, two or eight thousand words today, which is not bad. Anyway, you have to shout and ask for some reward! Ha ha! If you have money, let's hold a money market! Ha ha!)
