Chapter 8 Welcome

(I strongly urge the brothers to collect it!) Collections and red tickets are the motivation for us to write! Come on! There is also a change in the afternoon! )

Xiao Tianjian immediately stood on the high slope of the official road south of Tianlong Village, looking in the direction of the official road in the distance, behind him, were the soldiers of the four hundred Xingtian Army, Yan Chongxi and Luo Li both rode horses and stood behind him, and the battle flag of the Xingtian Army fluttered from time to time with the breeze, making the sound of hunting.

The four hundred soldiers were all in armor, holding their weapons tightly, and looking into the distance with excited eyes, and the whole army was silent, except for a few horses snorting from time to time, there was no more noise.

Xiao Tianjian received a report three days ago, a large number of rebels have driven to the Fengxiang area, but they have failed to defeat Fengxiang County for a day, but they have lost a lot of men and horses, and now they have begun to move towards the direction of Huangyang, and there are more rebels after them, and they are also rushing towards their side.

Xiao Tianjian sighed in his heart, what should have come is still here after all, his stable life is over, and now he and Fu Deming have a consensus, this time Gao Yingxiang and other rebels from all walks of life jumped out of the encirclement of the official army in the carriage gorge, in a short period of time, it is impossible for the government to do anything with them, and after so many rebels rush out of Shangluo Mountain, there is no doubt that they will sweep most of Shaanxi like a tiger out of the gate, not to mention that when a large number of rebels cross the border, whether they can be left alone, Even if the Xingtian Army is not coerced by so many righteous troops, what will follow will be a large number of officers and soldiers chasing and suppressing Gao Yingxiang and other righteous troops from all walks of life, and if they don't leave, they will immediately become the object of attention of a large number of officers and soldiers.

Although the Xingtian Army now has a certain strength, but compared to these battle-hardened rebels, their generals are still short in the army, although they have experienced several battles, but in the end it is still much less than the battles experienced by these veteran rebel soldiers, and if they encounter the guards and general township soldiers like Fengxiang Mansion, they still have a chance to give it a go, but once they are targeted by the officers and soldiers of the brigade, with their current strength, they are not able to support it at all.

So after learning the news that the rebels had appeared in Fengxiang Mansion, Xiao Tianjian began to arrange for the evacuation of this place, but what he didn't expect was that before he could lead the team to leave, someone had already come to the door yesterday.

What made Xiao Tianjian feel even more secretly surprised was that it was not someone else who came to the door this time, it was actually Li Zicheng who had already thundered in his later life, and he had also heard of the person who came to find him, it was Tian Jianxiu, the general under Li Zicheng, Xiao Tianjian never thought that so soon, Li Zicheng would take the initiative to find his door, so with curiosity, and with the psychology of wanting to see this once historical figure, Tian Jianxiu was integrated into Tianlong Village.

Tian Jianxiu's age is actually not too big, and his figure is not tall, but between his gestures, he is very calm, and he seems to be relatively modest.

And Tian Jianxiu spoke very tactfully, without putting on the slightest impression that they were old rebels, and was very polite to Xiao Tianjian.

Tian Jianxiu's intention to come to Xiao Tianjian was only twofold, one was to invite Xiao Tianjian's Xingtianjun to join the gang, and the other was to tell them bluntly, saying that they had just broken out of the encirclement of the official army and came to the local area, and the grain was scarce, hoping that Xiao Tianjian could help them and help them with a batch of grain and grass.

If Xiao Tianjian had just come to this era at this time, and he was at a loss in his heart, and he met an invitation from someone like Tian Jianxiu, he probably wouldn't even let out a fart, and would have followed Tian Jianxiu to find Li Zicheng to join the gang, but now Xiao Tianjian is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, so Xiao Tianjian will not run to follow Li Zicheng.

Tian Jianxiu obviously entered Tianlong Village, and was also shocked by the spirit of the Xingtian soldiers, he never thought that in the small place of Huangyang, he didn't know when, hiding such a strong pole all the way, and when he saw Xiao Tianjian, he couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Tianjian's appearance, with Xiao Tianjian's figure, it is indeed rare in the world today, he saw Xiao Tianjian is six feet tall, and it is a bee waist, between gestures, there is quite a kind of general's style, people can not underestimate him.

Tian Jianxiu thought about what he heard about the Xingtianjun from the local guide before he came, so he didn't dare to underestimate Xiao Tianjian, although he expressed his attitude and wanted to invite Xiao Tianjian to lead his Xingtianjun into the gang, but he didn't dare to directly propose to let Xiao Tianjian join Li Zicheng's subordinates to listen to the order, but he just said very euphemistically that he wanted to ask Xiao Tianjian to follow King Chuang to conspire together.

And this King Chuang is not talking about Li Zicheng, but Gao Yingxiang, the most famous leader of the rebel army today, and although Li Zicheng led an army at this time and had great autonomy, he was still nominally the leader of the eight teams under Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang called himself King Chuang, and Li Zicheng is still only called Chuang General, which is a soldier under Gao Yingxiang.

Xiao Tianjian is naturally still clear about the relationship between Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, so even if Tian Jianxiu invites Xiao Tianjian to join the gang, he also wants to invite him to serve Gao Yingxiang.

Xiao Tianjian did not directly reply to Tian Jianxiu's invitation yesterday, and now he is very happy to take a group of brothers to stand on his own as the king of grass, and he didn't think about being a junior brother at all.

Yesterday, he agreed and expressed his willingness to give Li Zicheng a thousand stones of grain, 3,000 taels of silver, and 30 mules and horses, 300 spears, 20 palladium, 30 sticks and knives, 20 single knives, 60 three-eyed guns, 20 old-style firearms, 40 crossbows of various kinds, and a part of gunpowder and lead bullets used in three-eyed guns.

And the reason why Xiao Tianjian is so generous, in fact, the main reason is not that he wants to befriend Li Zicheng, a bull in history, but because he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to form some good karma with Li Zicheng.

The most important reason is that these two times to fight Lijiazhuang and defeat the official army of Fengxiang Mansion, they have obtained a lot of materials from the Xingtian Army, and now he has decided to leave this place as soon as possible, so much food stored in Tianlong Village, with the capacity of his Xingtian Army, it is impossible to take it all away, and for a long time in the future, they will live a life of wandering and fighting everywhere, it is impossible to carry so many materials on the road, rather than throwing away or taking it away from others at that time, it is better to be generous now, It is good to give it directly to Li Zicheng, who came to the door for help, and those weapons are naturally the materials captured by the Xingtian Army in these battles, after selection.

As the saying goes, it is better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake, Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang have just been newly defeated in the carriage gorge, although they escaped the encirclement of the official army by means of deception, but it must have been a big loss of strength, this time it must be necessary to supplement a large number of materials and weapons, it is not a good thing to keep these things by yourself, and it is likely to cause trouble to the Xingtian Army, and from beginning to end, Xiao Tianjian did not plan to follow the example of other rebels to expand and recruit his subordinates, he always insisted on taking the line of elite soldiers, insisted that the soldiers were not more but the principle of refinement, so although he had the strength to expand the number of soldiers and horses to thousands after he conquered Lijiazhuang, but in the end he only selected five hundred young and strong people from so many homeless people to join the army, so now the inventory of weapons in Tianlongzhai has exceeded his current needs, plus they themselves have also built a lot of three-edged spear heads during this time, and replaced a large number of ordinary spear heads, which makes the number of weapons in their inventory exceed their needs.

What's more, among the materials he promised to Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang this time, most of them were not prepared to equip the weapons that the Xingtian Army would use, even if they included those bows and crossbows, they were mostly the inferior products left after the Xingtian Army was selected, and he naturally wouldn't be so stupid as to give Li Zicheng a batch of armor that they didn't have enough for themselves.

So Xiao Tianjian is not a miser, since he can't use it, it is better to just throw it to Li Zicheng, at least anytime Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang mention this matter in the future, they have to admit his feelings.

Yesterday, when Xiao Tianjian reported the list of various materials sent to Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang, Tian Jianxiu's expression at that time was enough to see, although Tian Jianxiu was also a person who had seen a big scene, but at the beginning of his coming to Xiao Tianjian, he didn't expect that Xiao Tianjian would take out so many materials so generously as soon as he said it.

Tian Jianxiu is a knowledgeable person, after listening to the amount of these materials that Xiao Tianjian said, he can calculate that the value of these materials together, at least in the market now, is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Xiao Tianjian didn't think much about it at all, and agreed to give it to them with a wave of his hand.

At that time, Tian Jianxiu immediately stood up, hugged Xiao Tianjian and bowed to the ground, thanked him repeatedly, and let Xiao Tianjian be polite for a while before letting him back to his seat.

After Xiao Tianjian's generous promise, the two sides talked a lot more harmoniously, and Xiao Tianjian learned a lot about the rebels from all walks of life from Tian Jianxiu.

This time, the rebels who came out of the Shangluo area, not only Gao Yingxiang's family, but also Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, who returned to Shaanxi with them, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, Ma Shouying all the way, and Liu Guoneng all the way, most of these characters Xiao Tianjian had heard of it before, especially for the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao Luo Rucai, it was even more thunderous, so when listening to Tian Jianxiu talking about these people, Xiao Tianjian felt a little agitated, and when he changed to a year ago, Even with a gun to his head, he never imagined that one day he might get mixed up with these people.

In addition, there are more people who are not too famous, there are no less than 20 roads, many people's names or nicknames, Xiao Tianjian has never heard of it before, but when Tian Jianxiu said it, he said it casually, just this made Xiao Tianjian admire his memory a little, and Xiao Tianjian also has a feeling that now the leaders of the rebel army are used to giving themselves nicknames, such as Tian Jianxiu himself, he has a nickname, called Suotian Harrier, And like King Gao Yingxiang, they gave themselves the nicknames that are quite good, and the nicknames given by the leaders of most of the rebel armies are not known at all, and even make people have a feeling of ridicule, like what to mix 100,000, sweeper king Zhang Yichuan, reincarnated king to change, Xingshi Wang Guoning, mixed world king, whole world king, Jiutiao, Shuntian king, Taiping king, Jingtianxia, Wabei king, climbing king, purple micro star, clam round...... It seems that there are as many as one or twenty kings alone, and there is even one person named Sole Light, I don't know what they think, it's really too uneducated!

But when I thought about the nickname he casually gave himself a while ago, Xiao Yiaxe, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but smile a little dumbly when he thought about it, saying that others are uneducated, so his nickname can also be said to be one of the most uneducated! In the future, it seems that you have to change this nickname, otherwise, you will be despised!

This time, so many righteous troops basically returned to Shaanxi, and now they have divided into three roads, and they are going to kill all parts of Shaanxi (the Shaanxi mentioned here is not the Shaanxi Province of the later generations, the Shaanxi of the Ming Dynasty is called the Shaanxi Buzheng Division, covering the entire territory of Shaanxi Province and Gansu, most of Ningxia and Qinghai Province, at that time the Shaanxi was very big!) )。

And the one who took Fengxiang's road happened to be the one headed by Gao Yingxiang, after Xiao Tianjian listened, he had a certain understanding of the current situation of the rebels, and secretly thought that his luck seemed to be not bad, fortunately he did not bump into the other two rebels, otherwise, with so much food gathered at his moment, it would not be possible to be targeted by those people, so he directly killed and ran over, and copied his Tianlong Village to the bottom!

With a good impression of Li Zicheng, Xiao Tianjian felt that it should not be a bad thing to be generous this time and take the initiative to take out such some food and weapons to give to Li Zicheng.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Tian Jianxiu yesterday, but Tian Jianxiu didn't dare to slack off after getting Xiao Tianjian's reply, and after talking for a while, he declined Xiao Tianjian's hospitality, saying that he would return as soon as possible to return Xiao Tianjian's reply to Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang that he would take them to receive Xiao Tianjian's gift tomorrow.

And today, Xiao Tianjian took these subordinates out of Tianlong Village to welcome the arrival of Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng.
