Xiao Tianjian immediately laughed and stepped forward to grab Tian Jianxiu's hands, shook them vigorously and said, "I really can't think of it!" I will actually see Brother Tian here today! It's been a long time! Hurry up inside please! ”

Originally, before Tian Jianxiu came, he was still worried about what attitude Xiao Tianjian would have when he saw him after seeing him, for fear that Xiao Tianjian would not see him, but when he saw Xiao Tianjian greet him so warmly, he put his heart in his stomach.

When Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng squeezed Xiao Tianjian and wanted to annex Xiao Tianjian's Xingtianjun, Tian Jianxiu was quite dissatisfied, and he also argued with Li Zicheng twice for this, but then he didn't expect that Xiao Tianjian would leave as soon as he said it, and evacuated from Longzhou with his subordinates without saying a word, and then disappeared.

It wasn't until a year later that Li Zicheng and the others heard that Xiao Tianjian actually ran all the way to Shanxi after leaving Longzhou, and in just over a year, they laid a territory that belonged to them in Shanxi, and they defeated several officers and soldiers in a row, so that they became famous in Shanxi.

But look at the veterans of the righteous army, they have been fighting in the south and north for more than a year, from Shaanxi to Henan, from Henan to Lianghuai, and then to Huguang and Sichuan, and finally they were driven back to Shaanxi, but now they don't even have a place to stand, from the end of last year to the present, they have been against Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others, and they have lost more and won less, so that the days during this period have become more and more sad, so Li Zicheng thought of sending him to contact Xiao Tianjian again.

Originally, Tian Jianxiu was a little ashamed to come to Xiao Tianjian, but now their life is really not easy, under Li Zicheng's repeated persuasion, Tian Jianxiu was cheeky, and took a few relatives to disguise themselves as ordinary homeless people, all the way into Shanxi, and inquired about touching Yuanqu County, which was controlled by the Xingtian Army.

As a result, not long after they entered Yuanqu County, they were discovered by the local township soldiers patrolling by the Xingtian Army, and several of them were arrested.

Fortunately, even if Tian Jianxiu said that he was Xiao Tianjian's old friend, he was not killed on the spot by those township soldiers, and later he was escorted to the ancient town, which was brought here by Feng Gouzi.

When the two entered the house for a long time, after the banquet was served, they sat down with the guests and hosts, and Tian Jianxiu said with emotion: "I didn't expect it! Nearly two years have passed! Think about it when I was outside Longzhou City...... Alas! Don't mention it! I didn't expect that! In less than two years, the Xiao brothers have played such a large piece of territory! It's really beyond Tian's expectations! Brother Xiao is really a great talent! ”

Xiao Tianjian still has a good impression of Tian Jianxiu, in his short contact with Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang, only this Tian Jianxiu is good to him, and he has a close relationship with him, and Xiao Tianjian is also a person in temperament, people respect me a foot, I respect people, if someone else comes, Xiao Tianjian will definitely not give him a good look, but today Li Zicheng sent Tian Jianxiu to see him, so he is still willing to give Tian Jianxiu this face.

"Where, where! Brother Tian is polite! The foolish brother is also lucky, and he just hit it by mistake! How can you break into the fame of your old thirteen families! Who doesn't know that over the years, the Southern and Northern Wars have turned the Ming Dynasty upside down, and compared with you, what Xiao did is really not worth mentioning! Hehe!

This time, Xiao didn't think that what kind of wind blew Brother Tian to me? Come on, come on! Brother first toast Brother Tian with a cup! After saying this, Xiao Tianjian was polite, and then raised his wine glass.

After Tian Jianxiu and Xiao Tianjian touched a glass, they put down the wine glass and sighed and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiao is really polite!" The fact that you defeated several officers and soldiers in Shanxi has already spread all over the north and south of the river, and no one in the righteous army does not know! Brother Fool also heard about you Brother Xiao after the year, and compared with you, we people are really a little embarrassed!

To tell you the truth, this time the foolish brother came, and he had something to ask for! I hope you can abandon your old suspicions and help us with this! ”

Xiao Tianjian is really not very clear about how big his own reputation is now, in his opinion, people in Shanxi know that his name of Xingtianjun is true, but if it is far away, it can't be said, today I heard Tian Jianxiu say, he knew that he really made a prestige after these battles in the Xingtianjun, and even the rebels in various places have now heard about them, so it seems that in the future, in the righteous army, he Xingtianjun should also be regarded as a well-known name, no wonder in the past few months, More and more people are coming to him, and if there is no fame in this era, it is really not easy to mix!

However, after listening to Tian Jianxiu's words, his heart still moved, Tian Jianxiu said this, could it be that it had something to do with Gao Yingxiang's capture?

So he laughed and said, "Brother Tian is really polite, there is no need to mention the previous things, but I don't know what Brother Tian wants Brother to do?" ”

After Tian Jianxiu sighed, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then said, "I'm afraid my brother hasn't heard about it yet!" Something happened to King Chuang! Ten days ago, when King Chuang led his troops to Zhouzhi Heishuiyu, he was suddenly ambushed by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and the dog official bought several of King Chuang's subordinates to fight against the water, so that King Chuang was defeated and captured!

Brother, I was also entrusted by the general, so I came thousands of miles to find you, brother, just to ask my brother for help, and save King Chuang on the way! If it comes to life this time, we Li Chuang said that we must be grateful, and we must thank our brothers! ”

When Xiao Tianjian heard it, he got it! That's it! So when he put down the wine glass and groaned, after a while, Xiao Tianjian asked, "Then does Brother Tian know where King Chuang will be escorted by the government this time?" Brother, what can I do to save King Chuang? ”

Tian Jianxiu saw Xiao Tianjian's hesitant attitude, so he immediately said: "Brother, before I came, I found out through the details that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting's dog officials, after taking the King Chuang, were planning to dedicate the King of Chuang to the capital to wish him victory!" From Xi'an to Beijing, it is expected that they must pass through Jiezhou, Jiangzhou, Pingyang and other places, and enter Beijing through Taiyuan Mansion.

And along the way, we happened to pass near your brother's territory, so our general thought about it again and again, and decided to let the foolish brother be cheeky and ask his brother to help, and when the team escorted by the official army passed nearby, he would save King Chuang! None of us can count on it except for you, brother! ”

After Xiao Tianjian listened to Tian Jianxiu's request, he didn't say anything in his heart and said in his heart, this Li Zicheng thought of beauty, and let Lao Tzu rob Wang Gao Yingxiang's prisoner car, what good is this for Lao Tzu? This is simply a fool's dream, and Lao Tzu is not stupid, why do such stupid things that set himself on fire? Is it just that you should thank you for your words?

So he frowned and thought about it, hesitated slightly, and then said to Tian Jianxiu: "This ...... The foolish brother doesn't hide it from Brother Tian, I'm afraid this matter is not easy!

King Chuang fell into the hands of the government, in the case of those officials in the government, how could they not realize the importance of King Chuang, and they would definitely send a large army to escort King Chuang into Beijing, and no matter whose jurisdiction he passed along the way, the local government would definitely attach great importance to it, and would never act carelessly.

Although the team escorting King Chuang may take this road, but the foolish brother's sphere of influence is also limited to the mountains around Yangcheng, Yuanqu, and Qinshui. It's not that the foolish brother doesn't help Brother Li, but it's really more than enough to do it! I'm afraid it's hard for me to help you this time, brother! ”

After hearing this, Tian Jianxiu asked Xiao Tianjian with some excitement: "Brother, do you still remember what happened to King Gao Chuang when he squeezed you?" Although this matter was not done by King Chuang, after all, whether it was King Chuang or our general, they all wanted to pull your brother into the gang, so they made this decision! Brother, you ......"

Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop Tian Jianxiu's words, and immediately said, "Brother Tian doesn't need to mention this matter again!" The past is gone! A brother is not a person with a small belly, so how can he hold a grudge like this? The reason why my brother said this is because of the facts, my brother and I only have a few thousand troops under my command, and there are nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers in the area of Jiezhou alone, not to mention the escort officers and soldiers, plus the escort soldiers and horses here in Shanxi, even if the brothers and I pour out, how can they be the opponents of the officials and troops? At that time, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to save King Chuang, but my brother will also fold in! ”

Tian Jianxiu opened his mouth, and asked Xiao Tianjian with some disbelief: "Brother Xiao only has a few thousand soldiers and horses?" No way! Brother a year later, we heard that Hong Chengchou mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the four roads of Shanxi and sent four generals such as He Renlong, Zuo Guangxian, and Xu Dingguo to gather in Yangcheng, but were defeated by you, brother, brother, do you only have so many people? ”

Xiao Tianjian laughed, nodded and said, "Brother Tian thinks that I, Xiao, am the kind of person who talks about it?" In fact, my brother and I have only 7,000 soldiers and horses at the moment, including one or two thousand child soldiers, it's not that my brother refuses to help with this, but I really can't do it! For this matter, the brother can only say sorry!

As for King Gao Chuang, I, Xiao, have always admired him very much, and my brother also sighed at his capture this time! But since we have chosen to be the enemy of the imperial court, we must have the consciousness of defeat and death, and King Chuang was unfortunately captured, which is also fate! I can't complain about others or something! Brother Tian doesn't have to persuade his brother anymore! If this thing can be done, but the brother doesn't do it, then it's the brother's fault, but this time the brother really can't help it!

But if it's something else, if the brother can help, as long as Brother Tian says something, the brother will try his best to do it for Brother Tian! ”

Seeing that Xiao Tianjian had no room for maneuver, Tian Jianxiu was surprised in his heart, surprised that Xiao Tianjian's soldiers and horses were so strong, and in the case of the official army being several times that of them, he could still win the battle and stand firmly in Shanxi, without being driven away by the official army, and at the same time, he also knew that Xiao Tianjian had made up his mind, and there was no room for maneuver, this was not that Xiao Tianjian still remembered that he refused to save each other in the gap between him and Gao Yingxiang before, but in this case, he would never use his strength to fill this hole. Now mixed in this troubled world, having soldiers and generals is the king's way, if he puts his soldiers into it for Gao Yingxiang, don't say that Xiao Tianjian is unwilling to do this kind of thing, no one will do it, so he had to sigh deeply, shook his head and said: "Since this is the case, then it seems that I can only complain about the king's fate!" Alas! ……”
