Seeing that Tian Jianxiu's face suddenly became ugly, the personal soldier who was a confidant naturally understood what his main general was worried about, and sat back and watched the friendly army being surrounded and annihilated without rescuing, which was the most hated in any army.

If Tian Jianxiu escapes back and complains to King Chuang, Liu Zongmin, a mighty general who has become a powerful general with great difficulty, will probably be gone, and his reputation will be stinky, and no one will be willing to cooperate with him in the future.

The soldier's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he put his mouth to Liu Zongmin's ear and whispered: "Master Liu, do you want the villain to give them a ride?" ”

"Give them a ride?"

Liu Zongmin's eyes first showed a look of intent, and then he shook his head, "No, dozens of them have just escaped from the battlefield, and they must have been seen by many people when they entered the city, if something happens to us, we will not be able to get out of it." If the matter fails, King Chuang will definitely not be able to spare us, and then the Ming Dynasty will no longer have a place for us to live. ”

The soldiers thought about it and sighed with some regret, Liu Zongmin's scruples were right, he couldn't go out of the city in time to rescue Tian Jianxiu today, and he could use various reasons to shirk it, but once he attacked his own friendly army, this nature would be different, and once it was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You go and bring people to me immediately, and prepare a table of wine and food, and I will personally surprise Lao Tian...... Go ahead! ”

"The villain understands!"

The soldiers took the order and left.

Two quarters of an hour later, Tian Jianxiu was taken to the side hall by his own soldiers, and Liu Zongmin, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately walked up quickly and held his hand, and said with a sad face: "Brother Tian, today's matter brother can't stand you, these days I have been busy with the affairs of the city, so I haven't noticed the things outside the city, so that you have been wronged, brother." ”

Tian Jianxiu laughed miserably: "Master Liu, you don't need to say it, I can understand, Ning Guofu has just been defeated, things must be complicated, you can't be busy alone, how can you pay attention to things outside, besides, I didn't send anyone to inform you, you are not an immortal, how can you know that I am surrounded?" ”

Seeing that Tian Jianxiu didn't mean to be surprised, Liu Zongmin's originally hanging heart also let go, only to see him grab Tian Jianxiu's arm, "Brother Tian, don't say anything." Since you have an accident next to my brother and mine, it is my brother's fault, and I will ask King Chuang for my guilt after meeting Queen Chuang in a few days.

You must be hungry after a tired day, brother, I asked people to prepare some wine and food, if you have anything to say, let's eat and talk, please! ”

"Good!"

Tian Jianxiu didn't shirk, agreed, and walked to the side with Liu Zongmin and sat down at a table full of wine and food.

Liu Zongmin took the lead in raising his glass: "Come on...... A toast to your ability to survive the disaster. ”

"!"

Tian Jianxiu did not shirk, raised the wine glass and drank it all with a squeak.

"This toast is for you to come back unscathed."

"This cup is for our reunion."

After several glasses of wine in a row, Tian Jianxiu's originally pale face also became a little red.

He put down the cup, was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst into tears: "Master Liu, all the little money I have accumulated over the years is over, and the Jiang Ningjun who was killed this day will not leave me any way to live!" ”

Liu Zongmin took a piece of mutton and put it on the plate in front of Tian Jianxiu, and asked: "Brother Tian, there is one thing that I am very puzzled about, judging from what you said, Jiang Ningjun is determined to kill you today, what did you do to provoke Jiang Ningjun to send such a large force of cavalry to ambush you at any cost?" ”

"What else?" Tian Jianxiu said indignantly: "I just drove a group of old and weak women and children in Anqing Mansion to pretend to attack at night in order to get out a few days ago, and then took the opportunity to slip away.

Today, I didn't expect them to send cavalry in advance to ambush me less than twenty miles away from Jiangning Mansion. ”

"Lao Tian, you are really ruthless, you can even think of this trick in order to get out."

Liu Zongmin was amazed, and shook his head while exclaiming: "But Lao Tian, it's not me talking about you, if you put Yang Feng like this, people will definitely hate you to death, and it's strange if you don't die chasing you." If you want me to say, you shouldn't have played that trick in the first place. ”

Seeing that Tian Jianxiu wanted to refute, he waved his hand: "You listen to me first, but I have heard that Yang Feng besieged your Anqing Mansion for ten days and did not attack the city, and it was clear that he wanted to let you go, but in order to get out, you put someone together, in the words of our rivers and lakes, people saved face for you, and before you left, you gave someone a backhand slap, this kind of thing is that I want to fight with you endlessly."

If you want me to say, you can pick up a life today, and you are already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue. ”

Tian Jianxiu's mouth moved to say something, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.

To tell the truth, he had already regretted it in his heart, on the night of the breakout, if he sneaked away, he might not be able to leave, but for the sake of insurance, he resorted to the illusion of driving away the old, weak, sick and disabled to attack the Jiangning Army camp at night, and he led the men and horses of his headquarters to take the opportunity to slip away.

It's just that escaping like this is an escape, but it also completely angered Yang Feng because of this, so that with today's fiasco, he even lost all his capital.

Seeing Tian Jianxiu's decadent appearance, Liu Zongmin, who was still a little worried, finally put his heart down completely, he patted Tian Jianxiu's shoulder and comforted: "But you don't have to be discouraged, as long as the people are still there, even if all the people are lost, it is nothing."

In the first few years, three-legged toads were hard to find, and two-legged people were not everywhere. As long as it takes a few months, let alone two or three thousand people, even tens of thousands of people can be easily recruited. ”

Tian Jianxiu thought about it, even Li Zicheng was beaten into a bare-bones commander several times, but how long has it been, and now he has gathered tens of thousands of troops in the blink of an eye, and his momentum is even greater than before, what is this compared to him?

After thinking about it, Tian Jianxiu's mood was much better, and he picked up his wine glass and touched Liu Zongmin's glass again, "Master Liu, no matter what, I have to thank you for taking me in today." Don't worry, I won't stay here longer, Ming'er will go to Huizhou Mansion to find King Chuang to ask for guilt, let King Chuang be punished, I have no complaints. ”

"Well, Brother Tian, it's good that you can think so."

Liu Zongmin touched a glass with him, and the two of them began to drink again.

This meal was eaten until the third watch, Tian Jianxiu did not get up until three poles on the sun, and at noon the next day, Tian Jianxiu woke up and went to Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin did not stay, let him follow a convoy to Huizhou Mansion to transport supplies.
