Chapter 102 False Love
Xiao Tianjian turned out of the back of the big case with a smile on his face. While untied the rope for Zhang Xianzhong with his own hands, he apologized to Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly. Of course, he had to scold Liu Yaoben in a melantic way. How could he treat Zhang Dashuai like this?
Zhang Xianzhong smiled bitterly. After loosening his arms, he rubbed his wrists and looked up and down at Xiao Tianjian, whom he saw for the first time. When he saw Xiao Tianjian's angular and masculine face and his tall figure, he thought he was good-looking, but after compared with Xiao Tianjian, But it made him feel a sense of visibility. When he was escorted to the camp just now, he also saw the situation of the Xing Tianjun camp. After this, he knew that he and Xiao Tianjian were on the leader of the army, which was really different.
These generals in the Xingtian barracks acted well in the camp. The three of them lined up and focused on their work. Even when they saw that he and his men were escorted into the camp, they did not come over and watch, but glanced at them in a blink of an eye, and then continued to do what they should be done. Go, and in the school field of the battalion, there are also batches of soldiers practicing under the leadership of the officers, and the setting of the barracks is extremely neat. Although those tents are dilapidated, they are neatly built, as if they were pulled out by a ruler, and there are also things like drains in the battalion. I couldn't see the scene of garbage and sewage flowing everywhere. Even the shit and urine commonly found in ordinary barracks, there is nothing here. Obviously, there are some camping toilets everywhere for officers and soldiers to pay respect, let alone the phenomenon of people drinking and gambling, let alone women appearing in the camp. Everything is obvious. It has to be so clean. As a leader of the army to rebel, Zhang Xianzhong looked at it. Even if he was completely convinced and looked at the barracks here, no one would believe that the soldiers here were not effective. Before he saw Xiao Tianjian, Zhang Xianzhong began to be curious about him and thought about what kind of person Xiao Tianjian was. It can make all the soldiers and generals look like this.
Now after seeing Xiao Tianjian, he admires Xiao Tianjian a lot and feels that he is too arrogant. This is really outside! He didn't do anything, but chose to fight against people like Xiao Tianjian. Isn't this humiliation? Therefore, although he was captured and humiliated, he was a little annoyed with Xiao Tianjian at this time. When he saw Xiao Tianjian personally untie him and asked someone to give him a seat, he held a fist to Xiao Tianjian and said, "Sin Zhang Xianzhong, see Marshal Xiao!" It's too late for the crime to return in the future. I hope that Marshal Xiao will not remember the old mistakes and forgive Zhang once! Zhang no longer dares to be the enemy of the general!"
Xiao Tianjian seemed to be fine. He laughed and held Zhang Xianzhong's wrist affectionately and said, "Where is it! Xiao has been admiring the reputation of the Eighth King for a long time. Unfortunately, you and I have been so busy that we have only met until now! It's too late to meet! It's really rude to invite Brother Zhang to come this time. I hope Brother Zhang doesn't hold a grudge! Come on, come on! Meet your old friend, Deputy Commander Luo!"
With that, Xiao Tianjian introduced to Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai also took the initiative to greet him at this time. He held his fists and gave a gift to Zhang Xianzhong. It can be said that the two were in a complicated mood when they met. Luo Ru had to turn to Xiao Tianjian at least earlier. Although his status in Xing Tianjun was not too high, he at least he was a deputy commander, and And he was also trusted by Xiao Tianjian. Most of the time, he was given a soldier to give him a battle to fight. Now he is still quite respected in the Xing Tianjun, but Zhang Xianzhong came this time, but he was captured by the Xing Tianjun. Both of them used to be surprised, but now they have met in Xiao Tianjian's big account.
After the ceremony, the two naturally had a greeting. Zhang Xianzhong felt that there were bursts of bitterness in his mouth. If he had known that there was no need at the beginning, if he had been able to turn to Xiao Tianjian earlier, then he would not have met Luo Ru as a prisoner at this time, at least he It seems that it is not a big problem for him and Luo Rucai to sit on an equal footing under Xiao Tianjian's account, but now, I'm afraid he will rarely have a chance to get ahead in the future.
Xiao Tianjian did not mention sending someone to arrest Zhang Xianzhong at all, but only talked about some marginal things. He also gave a banquet to Zhang Xianzhong and personally drank to Zhang Xianzhong.
This time, Li Xin and Liu Yao really did a good job. Originally, Xiao Tianjian thought that it was not very likely to capture Zhang Xianzhong alive, and it would be good to kill him. However, he did not expect that Li and Liu finally captured Zhang Xianzhong alive, so the next thing would be much easier.
Zhang Xianzhong is also a very smart person. Otherwise, he may not be able to live until now in this troubled world. He has surrendered to the court many times, ups and downs, and can still make trouble. At this time, he knows that there is no longer him, but this man can see the wind steering wheel. Without Xiao Tianjian taking the initiative to mention it, he is the master. At the banquet, he said that he was willing to submit to Xiao Tianjian in the future, lead the horse for Xiao Tianjian, wear armor, serve Xiao Tianjian, and attend to kneel down and give a big gift to Xiao Tianjian, which is a sign of submission to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian said that he didn't dare to do it, but in his heart, he despised Zhang Xianzhong's style and scolded him as a soft bone, and at the same time was capricious. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian was very distrustful of Zhang Xianzhong. This guy's ambition is too big than Luo Ru. In his words, it is not guaranteed that he will make any more small actions, but kill For him at present, it is not in his interests. After all, the capture of Zhang Xianzhong this time is only to kill a group of people and horses at his core. Zhang Xianzhong still has many generals and soldiers and horses scattered around. These people are all Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates. If they kill Zhang Xianzhong, then these people will never easily turn to him again. Therefore, in order to integrate his strength, he could not kill Zhang Xianzhong at this time, so he laughed and said that he would accept Zhang Xianzhong's investment. In the future, he would value Zhang Xianzhong, but he did not appoint any position to Zhang Xianzhong on the spot. It was enough for this deputy commander to have Luo Ru. Zhang Xianzhong was not qualified.
And Zhang Xianzhong also knew that his situation was not good at present. Although Xiao Tianjian was very polite to him on the surface, he always had a feeling that when Xiao Tianjian looked at him, his eyes were full of contempt and coldness, so he quickly expressed his willingness to obey Xiao Tianjian, but although Xiao Tianjian was full of words. Na, but he didn't say anything to do for him. Although Zhang Xianzhong was disappointed, he didn't dare to say anything. After all, the current knife is on his neck, and he can't help but fight for anything. Thinking about it, he feels a little regretful. If he knows more about the current affairs and surrenders Xiao Tianjian as soon as possible, then the current situation will certainly be quite Not bad.
After the banquet, Xiao Tianjian left Zhang Xianzhong and talked about Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates who were still distributed in various places. Zhang Xianzhong immediately patted his chest and promised that he would invite them to surrender. Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction and thanked him, and said a lot of indifferent nonsense. He exaggerated that Xianzhong was a person of profound righteousness. However, in a blink of an eye, he mentioned the attack and killing of the Xingtian army under Zhang Xianzhong. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had to blame the dragon that caused trouble. Xiao Tianjian sneered and immediately ordered the dragon captured by Zhang Xianzhong to be pushed out and killed.
After a while, someone outside put a bloody head in with a tray. Zhang Xianzhong looked at it and his heart jumped. Who else could this head belong to? It was the head of the dragon that caused trouble for him. At this time, the head of the dragon was still grinning, as if he wanted to call something. His eyes were wide open, but his eyes were very empty.
After Zhang Xianzhong looked at it, there was a cold sweat behind his back. He said that the man surnamed Xiao was really cruel. On the one hand, he stroked him, but on the other hand, he knocked on the mountain and shocked the tiger. He killed a dragon first to warn him, so he seemed to be much more respectful. He immediately did not talk nonsense. He wrote a few letters by himself and gave it to Xiao Tianjian to arrange for him. The original soldiers took these letters and went to his department in various places, so that they could not delay after seeing the letter. They immediately came to Xiao Tianjian, and said in the letter that he was wrong this time. He had been forgiven by Xiao Tianjian and asked his men not to be enemies of Xing Tianjun and come quickly.
So only in the afternoon of that day, Li Dingguo, who was not far away from the Xingtian Army, led his troops to the outside of the Xingtian Army camp and defected to the Xing Tianjun. Originally, he and Ai Nengqi supported Zhang Xianzhong and Xiao Tianjian to join forces. Although this time Xiao Tianjian secretly attacked Zhang Xianzhong, caught Zhang Xianzhong and forced him. They surrendered, but after all, they did not kill Zhang Xianzhong, so after receiving Zhang Xianzhong's letter, Li Dingguo finally chose to surrender to Xing Tianjun.
However, when Li Dingguo led his troops to return, he first asked to see Zhang Xianzhong outside the camp. He was willing to put down his weapon to accept the reorganization of the Xing Tianjun. Xiao Tianjian also immediately met his request and personally accompanied Zhang Xianzhong out of the camp to see Li Dingguo. For Li Dingguo, Xiao Tianjian was very respectful. After all, Li Dingguo is a person. He is a general of both literature and martial arts, and also an authentic national hero. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, he insisted on leading his troops to resist the Qing army until he died of illness in the Lashu. With this alone, Xiao Tianjian would not neglect him.
When he saw that Zhang Xianzhong was safe and sound, and the commander of Xing Tianjun personally went out to the camp to welcome him, Li Dingguo was relieved. He immediately disarmed his armor and ordered his subordinates to put down their weapons and kneel down and surrender to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian politely helped Li Dingguo up, was polite, and unexpectedly appointed Li Dingguo as a battalion general. He could lead a battalion alone and listen to the order under his Li Shuanzhu. As for the soldiers and horses he brought, Xiao Tianjian also treated him leniently. After ordering the selection, he would leave the available people and be classified as Xingtian. The army received training, and the rest of the unqualified personnel were disbanded. They either settled on the spot or moved north to Henan for resettlement.
Li Dingguo was relieved that he officially became a member of the Xing Tianjun after Xie.
