Chapter Forty-Nine: The Road Meets the Companions and Joins the Army
When Xiao Tianjian was pondering whether he could defeat this Zhuangzi in Fanjiabao this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Xiao Tianjian immediately stood up, and saw Shi Ran running back with Da Niu and the other three people from a distance.
"Hold the plate! There was a group of people on the road to our left, and it looked like a pole, and there were more than 200 of them, and it was almost here! Decide with your own plates! Shi Ran rushed to the front of the horse, and jumped down as soon as he turned over.
Xiao Tianjian's heart tightened, and he immediately asked, "Have you seen it clearly?" Do you know where they came from? ”
"Can't be wrong! Just now the tiger found them, beckoned the little one to take a look, they rode a lot of people, as soon as they saw a few of us, they chased after them, and they were about to arrive! From a small point of view, this group of people should roughly be Wang Tianlong's group in the east! It seems that he is also running for Zhuangzi here! There are ladders or something, it doesn't seem like they're coming for us! Shi Ran hurriedly replied.
Xiao Tianjian found out that not far in front of him, there was an intersection, and the people on both sides of them happened to meet in this place, it seems that these people should not have bought it from him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nauseous in his heart, why did Lao Tzu always encounter this thing? The last time I went to Zhaojiabao, I met a group of defeated soldiers, but this time I went to Fanjiabao, but I met my peers again! My luck is really good!
"All of them! Stand and line! The soldiers are in front, and the auxiliaries are in the back! ”
Xiao Tianjian saw that he couldn't dodge, so he immediately shouted loudly to his subordinates.
Dozens of subordinates immediately stood up after hearing the order, lined up at a rapid speed, and for the sake of safety, Xiao Tianjian listened to Yan Chongxi's opinion, led the team to move a little towards the right side of the road, and spread out the formation against a mound, so as to effectively protect their rear team, so as not to be taken advantage of by the opponent's cavalry, in the end, Yan Chongxi is more experienced than him in dealing with such a situation.
As soon as they had formed their formation, they saw a cloud of dust rise from the road ahead, and then a dozen horses appeared in their sight, and quickly rushed towards their position.
With a loud shouting sound, the dozen or so people grabbed the reins of their horses one after another, circled the horses, and quickly gathered together, looking towards them.
When they saw Xiao Tianjian and his party clearly, these people showed a look of surprise on their faces, but most of them put away the weapons in their hands, which was obviously because the other party did not show much hostility towards Xiao Tianjian and his group.
Xiao Tianjian's side of everyone is also looking at the dozen or so people on horseback who appeared, like them, these people are also dressed in tatters, judging from the clothing, these people are not officers and soldiers, but their peers, just another pole, under normal circumstances, the poles meet each other, it will not be too hostile, the well water does not violate the river water, everyone goes their own way.
Xiao Tianjian is also looking at each other, these dozen or so horseback riders are more fierce than Shi Ran and other people on horseback on their side, and they are obviously more skilled in controlling horses, and they don't have to think about it to know that these people should be engaged in this business for a long time, after coming here, they cooperate with each other quite tacitly, and they seem to be very advanced and retreated, and one by one they invisibly reveal a fierce color, which makes Xiao Tianjian somewhat envious, if only he had such a few cavalry.
After the two sides looked at each other, among the dozen or so people on the other side, there was a short and stout man with a full face and a shaggy beard, and the reins of the horse came out of the crowd, and the knife in his hand had been put away, and he did not show hostility, Tima slowly walked closer, hugged his fist on the back of the horse and shouted loudly to Xiao Tianjian: "Dare to ask, who is in charge of the plate here!" Come out and speak! ”
This person spoke a little disrespectfully, he didn't even say a word of invitation, and directly asked Xiao Tianjian to go out to answer, and Tietou was very unhappy when he heard it, and as soon as he pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, he wanted to open his mouth to scold.
Xiao Tianjian grabbed Tietou's wrist and asked him to settle down a little, don't be troublesome, handed over his Pu knife to Tietou, strode up, stopped a few steps in front of the man, and also hugged his fists and said: "This old man is polite, I have the final say here, I don't know what Brother Tai has to say?" ”
This person looked Xiao Tianjian up and down, and was a little surprised by Xiao Tianjian's figure, and saw that Xiao Tianjian was also wearing a cotton armor, compared with the dozen or so people in leather armor behind him, but his clothes on the plate were even more shabby, so he asked Xiao Tianjian: "Do you dare to ask this brother's surname?" ”
"Don't dare to be, under the surname Xiao, there is a nickname Xiao Yiaxe, which makes this brother laugh! But I don't know what this brother is called? With a hint of a smile, Xiao Tianjian asked the strong man on horseback.
They rode down one by one, obviously this person was somewhat disrespectful to Xiao Tianjian, but after listening to Xiao Tianjian's self-registration number, this person was still slightly stunned, and quickly looked at Xiao Tianjian, and snorted: "It turns out that you are that Xiao Yiaxe!" My name is Wang Tianlong, speaking of which, we can be regarded as peers!
I've heard your name a few days ago, and I've heard that you slaughtered Guzhuang's Killing Heaven, is this serious? Why did you kill him? This Wang Tianlong spoke a little rudely, and directly questioned Xiao Tianjian.
It is taboo to do such a thing between poles, and if there is no reason, if one pole forcibly swallows another pole and kills the palm of another pole, it is unjustifiable among peers.
Yo He, it turns out that Lao Tzu's name has spread so quickly! Even this Wang Tianlong has heard about this! Xiao Tianjian thought to himself, but the look on his face was inconvenient, and he replied again: "Fortunately, I will be lucky!" I've heard of it for a long time! I've heard of it for a long time! If Brother Wang asks about this matter, then it is easy to say, I can't blame me for this! A few of my brothers went to buy something, and ran into the man surnamed Sha, after revealing his identity, the man surnamed Sha still robbed my brothers of money and livestock, and that's not all, the surname Sha actually tied up my brother's meat ticket and asked me to redeem it with silver, but he broke the rules first, so I went to him to settle the account! Not only did he not let go, but he also wanted to swallow me, but he was not capable enough and was slaughtered by me, which is nothing to blame me! ”
For this Wang Tianlong, Xiao Tianjian had never dealt with him, so he naturally didn't want to make trouble, so he roughly explained the cause of the incident.
After Wang Tianlong heard it, he frowned, what Xiao Tianjian said was basically the same as the news he heard, this matter really can't be blamed on this surnamed Xiao, only blame the stupid guy surnamed Sha for making trouble by himself, he has no friendship with the surname Sha, and he can't stand out for the surname Xiao for this matter.
However, Wang Tianlong looked at these people behind Xiao Tianjian, and he was still a little greedy, among his more than a dozen subordinates, only he was wearing iron armor, and the rest of his subordinates were not wearing armor, but this little-known Xiao Tianjian, there were more than a dozen people under him who were wearing brand new leather armor, and these subordinates surnamed Xiao looked obviously well-trained, and compared to his subordinates, they were much more sophisticated, which made Wang Tianlong dare not underestimate Xiao Tianjian too much.
So he smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "I see!" In this way, that stupid guy surnamed Sha will not complain about his death, if this happens to my Wang Tianlong, I will not be able to spare him!
It's just that I met Master Xiao here today, but I don't know what you are going to do? ”
Xiao Tianjian's mind flashed a few times, now they are not far from Fanjiabao, after walking here, there is actually only one way left, that is, to Fanjiabao, so since the other party asked, he has no need to hide anything, and Wang Tianlong ran here so excitedly, no need to ask, they are also going to Fanjiabao, their goals should be the same, so he smiled slightly: "Hehe!" It seems to be a coincidence today, brother, I have been short of food recently, and I am about to go to the front to get some food, presumably the king is also going to that place! ”
Wang Tianlong saw that Xiao Tianjian didn't carry him behind his back when he spoke, so he nodded and said, "Hehe! It seems to be a coincidence! Let's think of it! In the first few days, I asked people to send a letter to the old man surnamed Fan, wanting to borrow some food from him, but the old immortal refused to sell my surname Wang's face, if I didn't give him some color to see, how would my Wang Tianlong still mix in this area in the future!
Since we've met, let's go together! The fort surnamed Fan is like a turtle shell, and I'm worried about the lack of troops at hand! You have come just in time, with your brother's strength, you must have no way to take him! Why don't you join forces with us and deal with that old bastard together? ”
Wang Tianlong is telling the truth, although he brought more than 200 subordinates, but Fanjiabao is more dangerous, and the wall is high, with his strength, Fanjiabao is really a little afraid of not enough, and he is not stupid, it can be seen at a glance that this subordinate surnamed Xiao is much more elite than his subordinates, if you can get Xiao Tianjian's help, this fight against Fanjiabao may be easier.
What's more, in this era, it is often not enough to rely on the strength of a pole, and many times there will be several poles united to attack a Zhuangzi together, so that the success will be much greater, and after the Zhuangzi is laid, it is already a common practice to divide the spoils according to the prior agreement.
After listening to Wang Tianlong's proposal, Xiao Tianjian thought about it slightly, this time he took someone to fight Fanjiabao, in fact, it was not a very sure thing, but at the moment he only had these strengths, and there was nothing to choose from in the next place, so he could only go to Fanjiabao first to see the situation.
What's more, he has been doing this for a short time, he used to just do some small business of robbing the road, and he fought Liujiazhuang because Feng Gouzi knew the tunnel, and he took a trick, in general, he still has little experience in attacking Zhuangzi, and another reason is that he trained during this time, mainly for field drills, for attacking Zhuangzi, he was also inexperienced, so basically he did not train his subordinates well, that is to say, he was the same as Ma Chao's Xiliang Army, with strong field ability and weak attack ability.
Today, this Wang Tianlong proposed that they jointly attack Fanjiabao, Xiao Tianjian thought about it for a while, and felt that it was feasible, after all, the other party must have more experience in doing this than him, through this joint attack on Fanjiabao, he can also take the opportunity to accumulate some experience in attacking Zhuangzi, and when he does this kind of thing in the future, it will be more convenient.
