The commander of the troops commanded, and the men and horses dispersed, showing a fan-shaped, and three loaves of bread copied over. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

The officers and soldiers chased closer and closer, and there were more and more arrows, shooting from three directions, suddenly heard a neigh, Li Guo's horse was hit by an arrow, and immediately fell, fortunately, Li Guo's body was dexterous, and he did not wait for the landing, he stood on the ground with a somersault, Hao Shaoqi behind him arrived in time, grabbed Li Guo's arm, and lifted him up and put him on his horse.

Li Zicheng turned around and shot an arrow, hitting the shoulder of the Qian Zong who led the soldiers, and wounded him.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and the officers and troops who outflank the other two sides are almost equal to Li Zicheng and others.

Li Zicheng ordered: "Prepare to fight." ”

Everyone held their swords in their hands, and when the officers and soldiers rushed behind them, they fought each other in short quarters.

At this time, suddenly a gong sounded in front of him, and a group of people came. It seems that there are about one or two hundred people, holding a big flag, and there is a word on the flag. The person under his command was a young general, and Tian Jianxiu, who was running in front, immediately recognized it, was overjoyed, and shouted: "Body pure, I am your brother Yufeng." ”

This general is a deputy general under King Chuang, named Liu Tichun, who was originally responsible for protecting the old camp, and Mrs. Gao broke out of the encirclement together and came to Tongguan together, for more than half a month, Mrs. Gao sent people to investigate the news near the official camp every night to see if she could find out the whereabouts of King Chuang, and it was Liu Tichun who came by order tonight.

When Liu Tichun heard it, it was Tian Jianxiu's voice, and he shouted happily: "Brother Yufeng, it's really you, what about King Chuang?" Tian Jianxiu said: "Behind you." There were officers and soldiers chasing after him. ”

Liu Tichun drew his sword and waved: "Brothers, King Chuang is here, follow me to rush up, kill the retired officers and soldiers, and greet King Chuang!" ”

More than 150 people behind him listened, shouted in unison, and rushed up with Liu Tichun, letting Guo Tian Jianxiu, a cadre, meet the official army. When Liu Zongmin saw the reinforcements coming, he laughed loudly, turned over with Li Zicheng, and also joined the battle group.

The officer and soldier saw that more than 100 cavalry had come from the other side, and his own men and horses were not opponents, and he was also afraid of being annihilated, so after a few rounds of fighting, he ordered the whole army to withdraw. He didn't dare to say that he had escaped Li Zicheng here, so he suppressed tonight's incident, and if his boss asked, he only said that it was a group of peasant troops, and there were no important people.

Li Zicheng saw Liu Tichun, and Liu Tichun was so happy that he danced and jumped off the horse to meet him. Everyone has their own joys and sorrows, Liu Tichun said: "King Chuang, hurry back to Tongguan, Mrs. Gao and everyone are there, looking forward to it." ”

A group of people came straight to Tongguan, and when they arrived at the pass, Liu Tichun called the switch city, and everyone heard that King Chuang was back, and they no longer slept, and ran up the avenue together to meet King Chuang. Li Yan and Li Kang, Shi Huai, Red Lady, Xiaoqing, and Yizhimei also came.

King Chuang met his subordinates along the way, everyone burst into tears, surrounded King Chuang and asked this and that, Li Zicheng finally came to the station of Li Yan and others.

Mrs. Gao was already outside, and the two met, holding hands opposite each other, as if they were in a different world. Li Yan welcomed everyone into the Shuai Mansion and immediately set up wine to wash the dust for King Chuang.

Li Yan was stunned when he saw Song Xiance, because he had seen this person in Meixian before, and he had heard him talk about any nursery rhymes, as if he knew the will of heaven, so he smiled and said: "Mr. is also here, dare to ask if he is now working under King Chuang?" ”

Song Xiance smiled: "Exactly, Li Gongzi has always been good?" The two of them chattered for a few words, Hao Shaoqi couldn't hold back his words, and shouted: "This time Mr. Song came, but he did King Chuang a great favor, he said......"

Liu Zongmin sat next to him, pinched his thigh hard under the table, Hao Shaoqi snorted in pain, and then woke up, Li Yan and Li Kang, Shehuai and others are all Qin Jun, and it is not too inappropriate to say in front of others that King Chuang wants to sit in the country and be the emperor?

So he changed his words: "Mr. Song said that Chuang Wangfu has a great life, and the officials and soldiers can't catch him, and sure enough, we have been in the mountains for nearly a month, and the officials and soldiers haven't even caught a single hair." Mr. Song also talked about Tongguan and Mrs. Gao, and we just came over. ”

Everyone laughed.

Li Yan knew that Li Zicheng and the others had worked hard all the way, and after the banquet was over, he arranged a place to rest early. When he returned to the room, he saw Li Dang and Shehuai waiting here, waiting for him to come back, as if he had something to discuss.

So Li Yan asked: "Two brothers, you haven't rested late at night, is there something important?" ”

Li Dang smiled: "Brother, it's not a big deal, I have already reported the arrival of King Chuang to King Qin with General Shehuai, and I believe there will be a reply in a few days." It's just that I want to tell you that no matter how the king replies to the letter, you can't let King Chuang and the peasant army know. Only the three of us know. Li Yan groaned, understood the meaning, and said with a smile: "Big brother, do you think that King Qin will be unfavorable to King Chuang and others?" Shi Huai said: "This group of peasant troops has very strong combat effectiveness, and has fought with the official army for many years, and knows the tactics of the official army, if they can be accepted and join the Qin army, it will be extremely beneficial to us, but if King Chuang is alive, these people will never be able to take refuge in us, so General Li and I have this worry." ”

Li Yan said: "Don't worry, the king is a person who understands, once he kills King Li Chuang, it will be clear that he is the enemy of the peasant army, and in the future, he will not only lose foreign aid, but also set up a strong enemy, this kind of stupid thing, the king will not do it." Even if you want to turn your face, you need to wait until the Qin army is strong in the future. ”

Li dared to say: "This is good, this is good." By the way, the red girl has been in the army for a long time, do you think you can let him persuade the king of Chuang, or Mrs. Gao, to let them join the Qin army? ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly: "If he is willing to join the Qin army, he will not be called King Chuang." Let's tell the truth, these people are all heroes, and since they are heroes, they will never live under others for a long time. They have their own ideals, and they can't force them. For people like Li Zicheng, we can only join forces with him to fight against the official army. Once they kill each other, that is what the officers and soldiers want to see the most. I think that at the beginning, if Gao Chuangwang's subordinates didn't make trouble, and our two sides still cooperated, I'm afraid that the entire Guanzhong, and even the whole of Henan, would have been laid down long ago. ”

Li dared to look at Shehuai, and the two nodded together.

Tongguan celebrated for three days, on the fourth day, the king of Qin's reply arrived, Li Yan and Li Kang, the three of them opened a look, sure enough, as Li Yan expected, the king of Qin was very happy about Li Zicheng's safe return, the book told Li Yan that Xi'an sent a deputy general in the city, escorted a thousand good horses, two thousand taels of silver, to Tongguan to give to the peasant army, so that Li Zicheng can make a comeback.

In addition, the king of Qin told Li Yan that the officials and troops had already known the news and must have made some moves, asking them to hold the Tongguan Pass tightly and be ready to prevent the officers and troops from coming to attack the pass.

At noon on this day, the war horse and silver were delivered, seeing that the Qin army was so generous, Li Zicheng was very happy, his people and horses are most lacking at the moment, is the war horse and money and food, so Li Zicheng took Li Yan's hand, expressed his gratitude vigorously, and asked him to reply to the King of Qin, the peasant army has the help of the Qin army, and will be able to re-grow in the Central Plains, and work hard with the official army to ensure the safety of Guanzhong.

For several days, the Qin army and the peasant army lived in harmony, the two sides formed a deep friendship, from Mrs. Gao down, are grateful to the Qin army, and now get the war horse and silver money, naturally even more excited, the whole Tongguan City, the sound of cheers is endless, everywhere is the scene of soldiers on both sides hooking shoulders and backs, eating and drinking together.

Because they all know that King Chuang has returned safely, and it is impossible for the peasant army to stay in Tongguan for a long time, but also to drive to the Central Plains to fight against the official army, and the peasant army's days in Tongguan are not long.

On this day, Li Zicheng felt that the people and horses had almost recuperated, and it was not a way to stay in Tongguan for a long time, after all, this was the territory of the Qin army, and he had thousands of men and horses, and it was not a trivial matter to eat and drink, so he asked Li Yan to say goodbye. Li Yan is not forced to stay, because he also knows that Li Zicheng is a person who does great things, and the vast world outside is the foundation of his life.

That night, Li Yan had a large banquet to see off King Chuang. All the leading figures on the Qin army's side were present, including the Red Lady, Xiaoqing and Yizhimei. A few of them sat at a table with Mrs. Gao and the wives of several peasant army leaders, and the sound of warblers and swallows was also very lively.

Everyone drank for half the night, and they were all a little drunk, and the atmosphere was very warm. When it came to **, Li Yan said to Li Zicheng beside him: "King Chuang, I will say goodbye tomorrow, I am so reluctant, but the situation is like this, I can't keep it, tonight is beautiful, I want to give King Chuang a gift." ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Li Gongzi's gift must be extremely valuable, and I am ashamed to accept it." Li Yan smiled and said: "This gift is neither gold nor silver, nor weapons and horses, but a nursery rhyme." ”

When they spoke, everyone slowly quieted down, and when they heard Li Yan say this, Hao Shaoqi became interested: "It's another nursery rhyme...... Liu Zongmin glared at him, so frightened that Hao Shaoqi shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.

Li Zicheng said: "Oh? Nursery rhyme? It's a novelty. Let's talk about it. ”

Li Yan said: "King Chuang, what do you think the people are most afraid of today?" Li Zicheng didn't think twice: "Naturally, I am afraid of military disasters." Whether it is the official army or the peasant army, most of them loot the people and burn them everywhere, and the people are most afraid of this. Li Yan shook his head lightly: "Definitely." What the people are most afraid of is not the war disaster. ”

Li Zicheng was stunned: "What is that?" ”

Li Yan gently spit out two words: "Accept grain!" ”

Li Zicheng realized: "Yes, yes, the court pays food, like a tiger and a wolf, the people are guilty, crying for their fathers and mothers, this is all spread throughout the Central Plains." ”

Li Yan took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Zicheng: "This is a nursery rhyme, as long as King Chuang sings it around, it will be able to respond to all calls, and the people of the Central Plains will definitely return to the wind." ”
