Luo Li had already led his generals to the dock at this time, and when he heard Xiao Tianjian looking for him, he immediately strode in front of Xiao Tianjian, and said loudly: "Luo Li, the commander of the second battalion, reports to the general!" ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at Luo Li, who had a red feather on his helmet, and solemnly ordered him: "Okay! Before dark tonight, you lead your troops to board the boat and cross the river overnight, leaving a sentry to control the river bank and prepare for the subsequent soldiers and horses to cross the river! After you land, immediately lead the troops to Mianchi County, be sure to rush to Mianchi County before tomorrow night, and I will give you a day early the day after tomorrow to take Mianchi County! Can you do that? ”

After Luo Li heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and shouted: "Obey orders!" There is no problem, the day after tomorrow will definitely take Mianchi County, and wait for the arrival of the general in Mianchi County! Otherwise, the general will cut off my head! ”

After hearing this, all the generals smiled, Luo Li, this guy, has now become an iron fist of Xiao Tianjian, no matter what he does, this guy will lead his troops to the front, and Yan Chongxi is in the Xingtian Army, and they are called Living Yama, Xiao Tianjian let this guy take the lead this time again, it should be because he values his temper that dares to fight and is like fire.

Xiao Tianjian smiled: "You guy has a head, and he wants me to cut it at every turn, am I willing to do it?" Hehe! You might as well keep this head for yourself! Remember, after defeating the county seat of Mianchi, restrain your subordinates and not allow you to loot the people in the city, we will go south to Henan this time, and we can't learn from other rebels, and rob all of them in one place! We are the Xingtian Army, not bandits, and this must be clear to the people of Henan! If you don't, my knife will cut off your head! ”

After hearing this, Luo Li immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, general, those bunnies under the humble command will not dare to give them a dare!" When the general swore in the army, he had already made it clear! The soldiers knew what to do and what not to do, and if anyone dared to disobey the military orders, the generals did not need to draw their swords, and they themselves chopped off their heads and hung them on the city gates! ”

After Xiao Tianjian heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Then I will rest assured!" No more nonsense, let's go......"

At the same time, in a large camp of the righteous army in the mountains of Weinan, Shaanxi, Li Zicheng led his generals to inspect the weapons piled on the ground one by one, and they all showed joy.

"Good fellows! This steel mouth is really not bad! I didn't expect the guy surnamed Xiao, who hadn't seen him for the past two years, to be so popular! This bird gun looks good, I heard that their Xingtian Army relies on this, and they have repeatedly beaten the officials and soldiers to be unable to parry, if we also get more of this thing, I will be afraid of that Hong Laojiu in the future! Liu Zongmin first picked up a single knife and looked at the steel mouth, and then picked up a bird gun and drew it, he was originally a blacksmith, he knew how to do this thing, and he was very satisfied after reading it.

Li Guo also picked up a bird gun, gestured against his shoulder, nodded and said: "It really didn't make us think that Shanxi was a dead land, but I didn't expect that the guy ran to occupy such a large area!" The officers and troops over there in Shanxi actually have no way to deal with them! I knew we were going to Shanxi last year! ”

Originally, since the uprising, the rebel army has been fighting all year round, relying mainly on the courage of the generals, and the vast majority of the weapons used are cold weapons, and the importance of firearms is not talked about at all, and occasionally some artillery pieces are captured, which are also used to siege the city and pull out the village, and as soon as the gunpowder is used up, it will be immediately discarded, and no one has paid attention to such things as bird guns at all.

But when they learned that the Xingtian Army was equipped with a large number of bird guns and relied on this thing to defeat the official army repeatedly, so gradually Li Zicheng also began to pay attention to firearms, so after learning in detail about the situation of the Xingtian Army fighting with the official army in Shanxi several times, this time he sent Tian Jianxiu to the Xingtian Army, and tentatively put forward the idea of purchasing 500 bird guns.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianjian was really not stingy with this kind of thing, so he met his request at once, allocated 500 bird guns to Tian Jianxiu, and even brought them a lot of three-eyed guns and crutch guns, which made Li Zicheng and them happy.

However, Xiao Tianjian was not kind enough to give Li Zicheng the kind of bird gun he was using to Xingtian Army, but collected a batch of old bird guns that were used by the township soldiers and a batch of eliminated and captured from the hands of the official army in the warehouse, let the craftsmen overhaul it again, and handed it over to Tian Jianxiu to pull back to Shaanxi, and the price was not low, a bird gun was sold for fifteen taels of silver, which can be regarded as a full use of old things.

Don't look at Xiao Tianjian now I can't look down on these rags, but after they are in the hands of Li Zicheng, these things have become treasures, and they are held in the hands of Li Zicheng's subordinates, and they can't put it down one by one.

Tian Jianxiu had done such a big thing, his face was quite bright, and he said to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, General Xiao is a sincere person, there is no shortage of the things we want, and he gave us a lot of things!" He also said that as long as we need it in the future, just ask, he will definitely help us! ”

When Li Zicheng started, he was still happy, but after seeing these guys, he walked to the place where no one was behind his back, and Tian Jianxiu followed behind him step by step, and continued to say to him: "This time I went to their side, Xiao Tianjian's subordinate Feng Gouzi told me that Xiao Tianjian was about to move south to Henan, and as long as his Xingtian army entered Henan, it would definitely not be small, and it would just take care of the strength of the official army for us!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at Tian Jianxiu and said to him: "Yu, Feng, you have also been to Shanxi twice, in your opinion, how is the combat strength of the Xingtian Army under Xiao Tianjian?" What about his turf? ”

After hearing this, Tian Jianxiu said with some envy: "Back to King Chuang's words, this Xiao Tianjian is really extraordinary, these two lowly trips to his territory, what he saw is indeed shocking!"

There are disasters all over Shanxi, but on the territory of his Heavenly Army, the people are stable, and the grain in the field is also full, although the people seem to be poor, but I have been there twice, and I have never seen a single starvation on his territory! In such a troubled world, it feels like a bit of a paradise!

And the subordinates of the Xingtian Army are strict in military discipline, and they are all very tough and abnormal, they all look like dragons and tigers, and they are very well equipped, and they are all elite soldiers! Otherwise, the officials and troops would have repeatedly attacked and suppressed it, and they would not have been beaten to the ground! ”

After Li Zicheng heard this, his face did not show joy, and he sneered and said: "Although King Gao Chuang and I have seen that this person is not a thing in the pool before, we still didn't expect this person surnamed Xiao to be so powerful!"

This guy is a very scheming person, in fact, this time he can gain a firm foothold in Shanxi, or thanks to us, if it weren't for the fact that we waved Henan the winter before last, broke the central capital, and attracted all the attention of the imperial court to us, how could he be so proud?

Don't look at how generous he behaved to us this time, in fact, I don't think he was so kind to us! You must know that when we were in Longzhou, we didn't treat him very well, why did he treat us like this?

I've seen these things, most of them are things they have seized, basically they are things seized from the hands of the officials and soldiers, although it is not bad, but he is doing a businessless business, only a small number of them are created, changed hands to us, but received tens of thousands of taels of silver from us, this time he made a lot of money!

Also, I can see him clearly, he is a guy who can't afford to be profitable, why does he want to lead his troops south to Henan now?

Didn't you see that most of us were driven back to Shaanxi by the official army? This man has big ambitions! Looks like he's trying to accomplish something!

If my prediction is correct, sooner or later this man will become our enemy! If you don't believe me, we'll see! ”

Tian Jianxiu heard Li Zicheng say this, a little dissatisfied, after all, Xiao Tianjian helped them a lot this time, this batch of weapons is very important to them at the moment, and they will be armed with thousands of people at once, if it is not for this batch of goods, they don't know how sad they will be in the future, but looking at Li Zicheng's meaning, they don't have the slightest gratitude to Xiao Tianjian, but they still have some hatred for Xiao Tianjian.

So Tian Jianxiu said: "Did King Chuang have a misunderstanding about Brother Xiao?" In my opinion, this Xiao Tianjian is not bad, we are very difficult at the moment, even if we have silver, we can't buy anything, but he took out so many weapons for us at once! It's already not thin on us! What's more, at the moment when the world is in turmoil, it doesn't hurt us for him to go to Henan, why does King Chuang treat him so badly? If that's the case, then it's a big deal that we don't do business with them next! ”

Li Zicheng also knew that Tian Jianxiu and Xiao Tianjian had a good relationship, so he patted Tian Jianxiu on the shoulder and said: "Yu, Feng, you don't have to think that I have any prejudices against him, but this person does act very differently from other rebels, and his ambition is probably not as small as you think!" I'm not intolerant, and now that he's willing to help us, that's the best thing to do! You can't cut off contact with them, not to mention that he enters Henan, there is only good and no harm to us at the moment, and he can contain a lot of official and military forces on the Henan side, in addition, on the Henan side, our hundreds of thousands of troops from all walks of life are untenable, and he only relies on a few thousand troops, even if he is very strong as you said, I don't believe that he can deal with those hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Henan! I'd like to see how capable he is! In short, he led his troops to Henan, which is not harmful to us, and it can be more convenient for us to act here!

As for the silver, I won't be sorry, he wants money, we want weapons and armor, as long as he is willing to sell weapons to us, then we might as well buy more! I want to see how far this Xiao Tianjian can go! This side of the matter, you just need to contact them more, now he is no longer in Longzhou City, there is no need to rely on our snort anymore! So when it's time to cooperate, it's better for us to cooperate with them!

Let's go! Brothers, consider where we should go next. ……”

After Li Zicheng got Xiao Tianjian's support for their batch of weapons, his momentum suddenly became much stronger, and the subordinates who originally held tattered weapons were replaced by the guys who took advantage of them, and their courage suddenly became much stronger, especially the newly obtained 500 bird guns and a batch of three-eyed guns and crutch guns, which made his strength increase a lot.

After discussing with his subordinates, Li Zicheng led his troops out of the mountains of Weinan and then killed them in the direction of Hanzhong.

And the fact that Li Zicheng was supplemented from Shanxi also quickly spread among the rebels from all walks of life in Shaanxi, so Luo Rucai, who was also active with Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, suddenly became active, and after discussing with his subordinates, he thought that under the full force of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, their lives were getting more and more difficult, since he Xiao Tianjian could gain a foothold in Shanxi, then why couldn't they also go to Shanxi?

So Luo Rucai made up his mind, led more than 20,000 troops under his command, and began to move in the direction of Hancheng, gradually gathered in the area of Hancheng, and began to wait for the Yellow River to freeze, cross the Yellow River at any time, and also drive to Shanxi.

As for other rebels like Lao Huihui and other rebels, they also began to set their sights on Shanxi, but they also secretly wanted to establish contact with the Xingtian Army and get some supplements from the Xingtian Army, so for a while, Xiao Tianjian became a sweet spot in the eyes of the rebels from all walks of life, and they sent people to Shanxi.
