Chapter 197 Trading
Tian Jianxiu was the first to rebel with Li Zicheng. He knew a lot about Li Zicheng's temper. Although Li Zicheng could have obeyed his orders under Gao Yingxiang's command at the beginning, it was because he was not very famous at the beginning, and Gao Yingxiang was his uncle after all. The two were related, and Gao Yingxiang also called his nephew. The female Gao family married Li Zicheng, so Li Zicheng obeyed his orders at the beginning. However, when Wang Ziyong was elected as the leader later, Li Zicheng, the old eighth team, was basically self-contained, so Li Zicheng's human nature is quite high, and he is not willing to condescend to others at all. This is also what he has always been like Zhang. He is so loyal that he often surrenders when he sees that the situation is not good.
What's more, after Gao Yingxiang's death, Li Zicheng was elected as the new king. Li Zicheng has always regarded him as the head of the world's righteous army. This is also the reason why he and Zhang Xianzhong have never been able to pee in a pot. Zhang Xianzhong is actually such a person. Li Zicheng and both of them always want to swallow each other. However, because both of them are very famous and each has a group of subordinates, no one can swallow anyone. Over the years, they rarely act together.
And Li Zicheng and these Rebel leaders basically debuted a few years earlier than Xiao Tianjian. In the eyes of Li Zicheng and even his generals, although Xiao Tianjian's strength has already exceeded them over the years, they still regard Xiao Tianjian as a descendant. Now Xiao Tianjian names Li Zicheng to vote. To his account, with Li Zicheng's character, he would rather die than give up his title of king and abandon the banner of king!
Originally, someone mentioned that Li Zicheng asked Li Zicheng to go to Zhang Xianzhong, but Li Zicheng ignored this at all. When he and Zhang Xianzhong were fighting Fengyang, they were very unhappy because a music class and Zhang Xianzhong tore their faces. Later, the two parted ways, did not have much contact with each other, and fought separately. In a word, he no longer works together with soldiers. Now he is so depressed that he goes to find Zhang Xianzhong. If he is not good at it, Zhang Xianzhong will kill him or annex him. Therefore, he does not consider the matter of Zhang Xianzhong at all. At present, there is Xing Tianjun, a more powerful colleague who is working in Henan. He will not take the exam at all. He was thinking about asking Zhang Xianzhong for help, but he just wanted to go to Henan to avoid the limelight and see the opportunity to rise again. He also didn't think about investing in Xiao Tianjian's account at all.
So Xiao Tianjian said that Li Zicheng would not agree at all. Tian Jianxiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not! Marshal Xiao, if it doesn't come to Tian's expectation, we Li Chuangwang will definitely not agree to the marshal's request. Our general will definitely not put down this banner. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us Li Chuangwang to agree to this request!"
Xiao Tianjian shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and smiled with a rare rogue smile, "So in this case, does Brother Tian think there is anything else to talk about? Why did I, Xiao, send troops to take risks to attack Tongguan and take him to the territory where my soldiers exchanged their heads and blood to recuperate and recuperate? Brother Tian, it's not me, Xiao, who is a villain, but everyone knows what it is. There are some things that can be talked about, but some things can't be ceded!"
In fact, Tian Jianxiu can't see Xiao Tianjian's current ambition! Xiao Tianjian worked so hard to lead the troops and managed the current situation step by step. In fact, blind people can see that Xiao Tianjian is going to replace the Zhu family! And once Xiao Tianjian succeeds, how can he allow someone not to submit to him? Li Zicheng wants to become one. Even if Li Zicheng will sit up in the future, sooner or later, he will meet Xiao Tianjian because of the competition for the world. Now Li Zicheng has become a drowning dog. Xiao Tianjian has no reason to help Li Zicheng in any way.
But Tian Jianxiu didn't give it for nothing. After a long silence, he suddenly said angrily, "In this case, then give up!" But how about Marshal Xiao also listening to Tian's words?
Xiao Tianjian has no precontinence for Tian Jianxiu. Tian Jianxiu is Li Zicheng's person who speaks on behalf of Li Zicheng. After listening to his words, it is inevitable to be angry. After all, they are a community of interests, so he smiled and nodded and said, "Just now Xiao's words were too straightforward, no matter who listens to it. It won't be comfortable, but Xiao just talks about things, and it's not that he doesn't give face to Brother Tian! I hope Brother Tian won't be angry with his brother! If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"
Tian Jianxiu snorted, nodded and said yes, and then said, "If according to what the marshal said, Tian can't understand, but can the marshal think about it? Once we are destroyed by the government, we should know that the Shaanxi soldiers under Hong Chengchou's command are still strong, but their strength is still good. Now they can be said to be fierce generals, and they have more than 100,000 soldiers. If the general can't save us this time, once we are destroyed by the officers and soldiers, then Hong Chengchou will definitely be ordered to mobilize a large army east into Henan. For the general, although it may not be his opponent, I'm afraid it will also damage the commander's strength! As the saying goes, killing the enemy is a thousand and losing eight hundred. Even if the general can defend the current territory, I'm afraid it is impossible not to lose a little!
And the reason why the marshal has been able to attack the city and land in Henan in the past two years is that, in addition to the marshal's ability to govern the army, is it possible to achieve without us? You should know that in the past two years, it has been us who have been the enemy of these dog officials in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, which has dragged a large number of officers and soldiers to make it impossible for them to enter Henan. If it is not the case, how can the general become the king of Henan in Henan now?
Therefore, if the general is not saved this time, won't it also cool the hearts of other volunteers in the world? Who else will cooperate with the general in the future?
"Hmm! Well said! It makes sense! Brother Tian is so awesome!" After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian immediately stroked his palm and laughed and claimed that he was all right.
Tian Jianxiu put away his anger and said to Xiao Tianjian, "In this way, I don't know if the marshal will change his mind?"
"It still doesn't work! Although Brother Tian is telling the truth, I still can't agree to this matter! Wait a minute... Brother Tian, don't be in a hurry to talk! Listen to the end of the words!
Although what Brother Tian said is reasonable, it is not true. Xiao's current territory was really shot and knifed by Xiao led by his soldiers, and he never pretended to borrow anyone's hand! And if King Li Chuang wants to come here to enjoy his success, it is inevitable! However, with Brother Tian's presence, there is no room for discussion this time!
I'm afraid it's not realistic for you to want me to send troops to connect you to Henan, because according to what I just learned, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting have mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to Tongguan, deploy four times, waiting for you to come to the door, and now all the troops under my command are also in Henan. In the battles in various places, a large number of people can't be drawn out to fight Tongguan for a while. If there is no guarantee, I will not fight such an unprepared battle!
What's more, Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's not that I can fight immediately if I want to fight. If the damaged soldiers can't take over the king, then such a battle is meaningless!
But since Brother Tian said so, I can't really sit idly by like this. I don't think it's better to be like this! You go back this time and tell the king, please ask him not to think about retreating to Henan for the time being, because the officers and soldiers have already packed their pockets and are waiting for you to drill! It's better to stay in Shangluo Mountain now and wait for the opportunity to find another one!"
Tian Jianxiu was anxious as soon as he heard it. He immediately got up and said angrily, "The general is really unhappy!" You and my brother, don't you really give me any face this time? There are not many people in Shangluo Mountain. We hide in the mountains for a day or two. As time grows, what do we eat? What to drink? Now the mountains are full of officers and soldiers, and we can't go out to get food at all! If you say so, don't you still want us to wait to die? Humph!"
Xiao Tianjian got up and pressed Tian Jianxiu, let Tian Jianxiu sit down, and said with a smile, "Brother Tian, let me ask you, if I want Brother Tian stay here this time and fight with me in the future, how will Brother Tian choose?"
Tian Jianxiu was slightly moved after listening to it. In the words of a normal person, Li Zicheng is already a broken ship in the storm and may overturn at any time. He drowns with him. It's better to choose Xiao Tianjian, a big tree, which is more promising, but some people in the world don't want to. In this choice, Tian Jianxiu and Li Zicheng have been doing this for a long time. They feel that they have abandoned him now and turn to Xiao Tianjian. It is really not the work of a gentleman and will be poked in the backbone, so he shook his head and said, "Thank you, the general, for looking up to me, Tian, but Tian can't agree. I, Tian Jianxiu, is a person of the same heart with Li Chuangwang, even if it is Li. The king has suffered setbacks now, but I, Tian Jianxiu, would rather die with him than abandon him now!"
Xiao Tianjian nodded with admiration, patted Tian Jianxiu on the shoulder and said, "Well said! Xiao respects people like Brother Tian the most! I won't force Brother Tian, okay! Listen to me and finish it!
This time I let you hide in Shangluo Mountain for a while, not to let you die, let alone to sit idly by and ignore you! But I know better than anyone that if you go out of Tongguan this time, what will happen to you? You will never be able to break through Tongguan and enter Henan! Even with my response, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve!
I also know that you are short of food and clothing in Shangluo Mountain. It won't last long. Why don't you just do it? Just go back and tell Li Chuangwang what I said. If he is willing to come and vote for me, then I will join the army. No matter how many casualties are, I will break through Tongguan and take you back to Henan! But if he refuses to give in to my subordinates, then there is no need to say about the response. You will continue to stay in Shangluo Mountain. I, Xiao, will try my best to provide you with some grain armor from the path and the Yellow River for you to use, to ensure that you will not starve to death in Shangluo Mountain. This is my last. The bottom line! As for what to do, let King Li Chuang decide by himself!"
Tian Jianxiu was in a much better mood after listening to it. Although Xiao Tianjian insisted that he wanted to annex Li Zicheng, this is also human nature. It is that people have selfishness. Xiao Tianjian can't be a saint. He is selfless to what Li Zicheng wants him to do. Now, Xiao Tianjian has given Li Zicheng a choice. If Li Zicheng refuses to turn to him, it is not to ignore them, but to provide them with grain armor and supply them for their activities in Shangluo Mountain, Shaanxi. It is also benevolent and righteous for Xiao Tianjian to do this.
Therefore, Tian Jianxiu didn't have anything to ask for, so even if he nodded and agreed, he turned his head and asked Xiao Tianjian if he gave them armor this time, and whether they wanted silver or not. At this time, they didn't have much money in the army.
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian immediately laughed and laughed: "Haha... Brother Tian really took my brother and I as a profiteer. When is it? How can I, Xiao, still want to do business with you? It's the same thing. Now that you are in trouble, I'll help you! I said it in the front. This was the face of your brother Tian, so I agreed. If it were someone else, I would drive him back directly! Haha!"
