The wall built by this Doujiabao is also very strong, and even attracted the water of the Qin River, and a moat was dug outside the village wall, forming a moat, Li Xuanzhu and Zhao Erdonkey led the troops to attack for two consecutive days and were repeatedly frustrated, unable to lay down this Doujiabao, and had no choice but to ask Xiao Tianjian for help. *..!。 *

Xiao Tianjian, who had just captured a Zhuangzi, heard the news and immediately led the sentry who originally belonged to Feng Gouzi to rush dozens of guards with iron heads to Doujiabao, and after arriving here, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but have a little headache when he looked at the situation in Doujiabao.

So he immediately sent someone to find a few local people in the surrounding area first, and asked them about the situation of Doujiabao.

It turns out that the people who live in Doujiabao are not surnamed Dou, but are all surnamed Zhang, in the early years, the big family surnamed Dou here was not good at management, and the result was broken, and then because of the injury and the lawsuit, they had to sell the property, and the result was the surname Zhang to the plate, and then the family surnamed Zhang moved to Doujiabao, but for some reason, after their Zhang family took over here, they did not change the name of Doujiabao to Zhangjiabao, or the name of Doujiabao, and this family surnamed Zhang is basically all relatives, There are not many tenants in Doujiabao, basically they are all members of their Zhang family, and it is a Zhuangzi who lives in the Wang clan surnamed Zhang, so no one in Doujiabao will listen to the surrender of the Xingtian Army and resist so strongly.

And this Zhang family is said to have been born poor, but their ancestors were good at hard work in the early years, and they were good at careful calculation, so they gradually accumulated this family property, the ancestors of the Zhang family are not only good at management, but also take good care of his relatives, after taking down the Dou family fort, he gradually moved his relatives here, when they first came here, there was no foundation, and they were always bullied by the surrounding big households, so the ancestors of the Zhang family took his sons and nephews, and built the Dou family fort brick by brick into a fort.

It is said that as early as the fourth year of Chongzhen, there were thousands of rebels passing through Yangcheng, to attack this Doujia Fort, as a result of even attacking more than ten days, failed to capture this Doujia Fort, but under the desperate resistance of the Zhang family, the losses were very heavy, it is said that even one of the two masters of the righteous army was killed by the Zhang family on the spot outside the fort, and finally forced the group of rebels to give up attacking here, and withdrew their troops in disgrace.

And this Zhang family for all their land, basically their own farming, rarely hire tenants, these years, but have never heard of their evil things, but in the first two years of the famine, their Zhang family also took out a lot of food, opened a porridge shed in the county, and helped a lot of victims, not a wicked person, the local people to the patriarch of the Zhang family, but also very good, called Zhang Dashan people.

After listening to the explanation of the locals, Xiao Tianjian suddenly realized, it turned out that the owner of the village in Doujiabao was all a family, and the robbery he proposed to help the poor and divide the land would not work here at all. And whose field is it shared? Everyone is a family, who will listen to his rhetoric! No wonder they resisted so fiercely, it turned out that everyone in the Zhuangzi was protecting their family property!

In this way, Xiao Tianjian felt that the matter was a bit wrong with what they Xingtianjun had done, everyone was a good family, neither provoked him Xingtianjun, nor did he oppress the good, squeezing the blood and sweat of the people, but he came to attack other people's homes, this matter is a bit too much to say.

And after he circled around Doujiabao, he saw that although Doujiabao was not very big, the Zhuang wall built was very strong, and there were solid enemy towers built at the four corners, and there were watchtowers in the village, if he mobilized the whole army to attack this Doujiabao, it could not be said that he could not capture it, but at least he had to pay a lot of casualties, so that attacking Doujiabao was a loss-making deal.

So after thinking about it for a while, he asked Zhao Erdonkey and others to stop attacking, and he wrote a letter in his own hand, sent someone to shoot into Doujiabao with a bow, and invited them to come out to talk about it, which is to put it bluntly, it is a negotiated settlement.

The Zhang family in Doujiabao also heard about the strength of the Xingtian Army, thousands of officers and soldiers in front of the Xingtian Army, only half a day, was beaten to the ground by the Xingtian Army, it can be seen that this Xingtian Army is indeed not a good master, ten days, more than a dozen Dazhuang forts around their Doujiabao have fallen into the hands of the Xingtian Army, and their Doujiabao has become a lonely fort in the area controlled by their Xingtian Army, although they have repelled several attacks of the Xingtian Army in a row, but if the Xingtian Army is determined to capture their Doujiabao, So even if Dou Jiabao does everything he has, it is estimated that he will not be able to stop the onslaught of the Xingtian Army Chengyue, and in the end it will definitely be broken by the Xingtian Army, and the old and young of the whole village may not be able to escape death.

When their Zhuang Ding received a letter from the Xingtian Army that had been shot into the fort from outside the fort, he did not dare to slack off and hurriedly handed it over to the patriarch of the clan.

After the patriarch surnamed Zhang opened the letter, he read it carefully, frowned and thought about it, sighed and said to the clansmen: "Now the Xiao master of the Xingtian Army outside the fort wants to invite me out of the fort for a while, it seems that this surnamed Xiao is not an ordinary person, you help me clean up, prepare five hundred taels of silver, and prepare twenty pieces of cloth and three hundred stones of grain for me, I want to go out to meet that Xiao master!" ”

When all the clansmen heard this, they were all taken aback, and immediately persuaded one after another: "Don't listen to those thieves from the patriarch!" He must be trying to trick you out and use you as a hostage to force us to open the door and surrender! It's hard to play! ”

The patriarch of the Zhang family, who was in his fifties, raised his hand to stop the advice of the clansmen, and said to them: "So far, no matter whether his surname Xiao is lying to us or not, I can only go out to meet him, as the saying goes, it is better to settle the grievances than to tie the knot, this pole surnamed Xiao has been here for several months, although he has done a lot of things to rob the house, but on the whole he is still a reasonable person, to the point that he has never heard of what he has harmed the people of Yangcheng territory, the reason why he led his troops to attack our Doujiabao this time, I am afraid it is really as he said." , it should be a misunderstanding! So if that's the case, if I don't go out and meet him, I'm afraid this feud will be great!

You don't know what kind of people they are in the Heavenly Army, they are not even afraid of the government, and they dare to confront the official army head-on, so how can our little Doujiabao be their opponent? And in the past two days, we have also seen that this Xingtian Army has strict military discipline, advance and retreat, it is not a rabble at all, and its soldiers and generals are very brave, and they are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and you must also know that in our Zhuangzi, there are hundreds of people from all over our Zhang family, young and old, here, since this Xingtian Army has occupied the surrounding area here, how can we not listen to their orders?

I'll go out and meet this surnamed Xiao's palm plate, and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, and then say, this feud can not be knotted or not, it is better to say it, let's give some money and food, so that they can withdraw from the army The best will also save hundreds of people in our Zhang family, and finally the jade will be burned!

If you don't worry, just wait in the Bao, don't care about my life and death, if he really wants to take me as a hostage and force you to open the door and surrender, then our Zhang family has no people who don't have bones, we would rather fight with them to break the net, and also teach them to know that our Zhang family is not easy to mess with! ”

The reason why this patriarch surnamed Zhang can become the patriarch is that he is still a person with vision, and he is decisive and courageous, so he is trusted by the clansmen, although they are worried about his safety, but seeing that he has made up his mind, and also knows that if this matter is not going, I am afraid it will be very difficult, so he no longer persuaded this patriarch to go out.

The clansmen hurriedly prepared a gift list for him, and sent the gifts to the village gate, ready to send them out at any time, and the patriarch left the village alone, and walked towards the camp where the Xingtian army was stationed outside the village.
