Chapter Eighty-Four: Being Clever Is Mistaken by Being Clever
And after Xing saw Xiao Tianjian, she also kept peeking at Xiao Tianjian, she thought that Gao Jie was already a dragon among people in the rebel army, but she didn't expect that after seeing Xiao Tianjian today, she found that Gao Jie and Xiao Tianjian were a grade worse.
Whether in terms of appearance or temperament, Gao Jie is far from being able to compare with Xiao Tianjian, this Xiao Tianjian's tall figure makes her have to look up, and she sees that this Xiao Tianjian has a great demeanor, and his eyebrows are also full of toughness, and his face is also angular, the bridge of his nose is straight, his eyebrows are starry, and his chin is bearded, which adds a lot of color to his appearance, what a big man!
Turning his head and looking at the short Li Zicheng, standing in front of Xiao Tianjian, he looked even more like a farmer, he didn't know how to fall in love with Li Zicheng and married him, he was just a dirt bun! Xing hated Li Zicheng more and more in his heart.
At the same time, there is still a little sour taste in her heart, if she had met this Xiao Tianjian earlier, then she would rather choose to give this Xiao Tianjian a hug than give her body to Gao Jie! can't help but regret a little bit that she had an adulterous affair with Gao Jie in the first place!
Xiao Tianjian didn't have time to think about what Xing was thinking at this time, after all, Gao and Xing were Li Zicheng's wives, Xiao Tianjian couldn't say anything more to them, after seeing the two of them enter the camp, he looked around in his camp curiously, so he said to the two of them: "This is my front camp, all of them are vulgar men here, there are no rules, I'm afraid it will collide with the two sisters-in-law, why don't you invite the two sisters-in-law to the back camp to rest?" ”
Li Zicheng immediately smiled and said: "That's fine, it just so happens that the foolish brother has something to discuss with you today, so let them go to your camp to have a look!" ”
Xiao Tianjian immediately summoned Tietou and instructed him to take the Gao and Xing families to the back camp and hand them over to Fan Ling'er to be responsible for entertaining, and the two of them did not object, and after thanking them, they followed Tietou towards the residence of the female dependents in the back camp.
After Xiao Tianjian accompanied Li Zicheng around the front camp for a while, Li Zicheng looked at the soldiers of the Xingtian Army who were practicing on the temporary school field in the camp, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, unlike the soldiers under his command, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army here are all very well-behaved, although the people in the camp are busy coming and going, but they are in a team of two and three, and everything is very orderly.
And there is one of the biggest characteristics of the camp of the Xingtian Army, that is, after entering the camp, I feel that there is a refreshing and neat and orderly place everywhere, without the slightest sense of clutter, and there is no feeling of sewage flowing everywhere, although the clothes of their soldiers are also patched and patched, but they are all neatly dressed and look very clean, which Li Zicheng feels that it is not as strict as Xiao Tianjian's control of his subordinates, and Li Zicheng's army has no awareness of regular army construction at all. It's more about personal bravery when going into battle, so the camp is full of chaos, and it can't reach the level of the Xingtian Army.
It's just that there is one thing that Li Zicheng doesn't agree with a little, that is, the way the soldiers and generals practice on the field of the Xingtian Military Academy, there is no general martial arts scene here, everyone is under the leadership of the leaders, carrying out a simple queue of exercises, they are either ten people in a team, practice queues, or dozens of people in a team, or drill queues, the only thing that can be called martial arts is just pikemen or sword players simple to the extreme neat assassination or chopping action, often just such an action, It seems that there are no tricks at all, such a simple drill action, Li Zicheng is a little puzzled why the Punishment Heavenly Army can train a strong army with this training method alone, and in his opinion, when going into battle to kill the enemy, the level of personal martial arts is far more important than this simple exercise.
The generals under his command are not undisciplined, because Li Zicheng also knows the importance of training for his strong army, and there must be a rule of three days of drills in the camp during leisure time, but on weekdays, the generals under his command carry out more personal martial arts training, not at all like a team of people like the Xingtian Army who get together and only practice some formation transformation.
If Xiao Tianjian only relied on Xiao Tianjian's way of training, he thought that no matter which general was pulled out of his subordinates, and the soldiers of the Xingtian Army were caught and put together, he was confident that the generals under his command could definitely put down the generals of the Xingtian Army.
After watching it for a while, he privately came to a conclusion, that is, this kind of training should be deliberately let by Xiao Tianjian let him see it, but he didn't want him to know the training method of the Xingtian Army, so he was not interested in continuing to watch.
Li Zicheng turned his head to Xiao Tianjian and said: "Brother Xiao, I came here today because I have something to tell you, Brother Fool just got the news, King Chuang is going to lead his troops here in the near future, Brother Fool came over this time, I want to discuss with you, how we should attack Longzhou City next!" Brother, do you have any good ideas? ”
After Xiao Tianjian listened, after thinking about it slightly, he guessed that this was Li Zicheng testing him, and he had nothing to do with his courtesy, he must have seen his considerable combat power of the Xingtian Army, and wanted him to take the lead and attack Longzhou City, of course he would not do this kind of stupid thing, the Xingtian Army is so bloody, he is not afraid of the field, but the siege war is not as good as the field, his current training method and equipment situation are not suitable for siege warfare at all, if the Xingtian army is put into the siege war, It was estimated that it would not take a few days to consume almost it, so he immediately said to Li Zicheng with a sad face: "It's not easy to do!" The walls of Longzhou City are unusually strong, and He Renlong led a group of officers and soldiers into the city, which greatly strengthened the defense of Longzhou City, so that the foolish brother has no good way to take Longzhou City!
And this time the foolish brother led the troops to Yu He Renlong in a battle, although he won by luck, but it was also a tragic victory, whether it was a soldier or gunpowder in the army, it was consumed very much, originally I only had more than 800 soldiers in this Xingtian army, and the casualties in this battle reached nearly half, so I had to integrate the new pawns into the soldiers, and in a short time, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight!
Since King Gao Chuang is going to lead his troops to arrive this time, then with the many soldiers and generals under King Gao Chuang, it will be much easier to attack Longzhou City! Why use me to worry about how to attack Longzhou City? ”
Xiao Tianjian didn't give Li Zicheng a chance at all, and directly complained bitterly, saying that the situation of the Xingtian Army was very bad, anyway, Li Zicheng wanted him to lead his troops to attack the city, and he would not do it anyway.
Li Zicheng frowned slightly, he came to find Xiao Tianjian this time, he did have a request for Xiao Tianjian, he and Gao Yingxiang agreed to let him sneak attack Longzhou City, but after a few days of fighting, there was no result, not to mention, but the loss of the army, now He Renlong led his troops back to Longzhou City, and he failed to prevent He Renlong from returning to the city, so he was not easy to explain on Gao Yingxiang's side, so he learned that Gao Yingxiang was about to lead his troops to Longzhou City, even if he was pretending, he would launch another attack on Longzhou City, Now he has collected thousands of recruits, and there are already a lot of troops, and he has also prepared some siege equipment through these days, and wants to try to attack Longzhou City again.
And although he has a lot of troops at the moment, there are not many soldiers who are good at fighting, and the quality of equipment is much worse because of the addition of more homeless people, if you want to launch a siege, it is indispensable to ask Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian army to help, after all, there are a lot of firearms in the Xingtian army, especially a few Furlong cannons are something they can't get for the time being, and the tiger squat cannon is not less for covering their siege, plus the Xingtian army has defeated He Renlong's subordinates in a row, which shows that their combat power is considerable, If the Xingtian Army can also join the siege, maybe they will have a chance to take Longzhou City.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Tianjian stepped on his idea at once, and did not mention the matter of helping the war at all, but poured a lot of bitter water out, so that he could not continue.
This made Li Zicheng quite annoyed, but there was no way to take Xiao Tianjian, after all, what Xiao Tianjian said was not without a little truth, everyone knows that killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is such a thing, Xiao Tianjian stopped He Renlong at Dashiqiao this time, although it ended in victory, but he also saw with his own eyes that the medical camp of the Xingtian Army was full of wounded generals, and this was not a minor injury, the Xingtian Army did suffer a lot of losses, so he had to idle some other things.
After Li Zicheng no longer mentioned the siege of the city, Xiao Tianjian was naturally willing to talk nonsense with him, after all, he was not as well-informed as Li Zicheng in many news, and he took the opportunity to hear a lot of recent news about the Shaanxi official army from Li Zicheng.
"Speaking of our luck is not bad, recently from the homeless, I learned a lot of news, I can listen to Brother Yu, this time we were mobilized by Chen Qiyu to block the carriage gorge, originally we were very dangerous this time, and then deceived Chen Qiyu with a trick, so that we got out of the carriage gorge.
It is said that this matter has been passed to the emperor of the capital, Chen Qiyu this time he shirked everything, and he rebelled against the Shaanxi governor Lian State Affairs and Fengxiang Zhixian and several township officials to disrupt the Fu Bureau, it is said that the imperial court will investigate and deal with the affairs of Lian State, and deal with those township officials and others, it is really funny!
Speaking of which, the real culprit in this matter is Chen Qiyu, it is he who credulously believed in our deception that allowed us to lead our troops out of the carriage gorge and regain our strength, but now he is beating a rake and sitting the blame on practicing state affairs, hehe!
Moreover, after Chen Qiyu's mistake this time, he had already messed up his proportions, not only did he not immediately mobilize a large number of officers and troops to pursue and suppress him, but instead ordered the governors of the five provinces to guard the key points, and only sent He Renlong, Zuo Guangxian and other officers and soldiers to want to exterminate us, which is really ridiculous!
Now although He Renlong has returned to Longzhou, but he is surrounded by us here, I expect that as long as King Chuang leads the army to arrive, this He Renlong will only be captured!
Originally, I was worried that Hong Chengchou would immediately lead the army to come here, but now from the news I heard, Hong Chengchou may not be able to come, yesterday I also heard that Xiningwei's officers and troops launched a mutiny, Hong Chengchou has led the army to Xining Wei to quell the mutiny! So as long as we wait to take Longzhou City, then this government will naturally have no way to take us. Speaking of these things, Li Zicheng couldn't help but show a little smugness, after all, this time they got out of the carriage gorge, he can be said to be a great meritorious, and Chen Qiyu's embarrassment is exactly what he wants to see.
After Xiao Tianjian listened, he thought to himself, Chen Qiyu is not strange to do this, the official encounters bad luck, naturally the first to find a scapegoat to come out of the top cylinder, but for Hong Chengchou to go to Xining Wei to quell the chaos this time, he was a little surprised, originally he thought that after their soldiers besieged Longzhou City, with Hong Chengchou's disposition, they should soon lead the official army to kill here, but he didn't expect the Xining guards to mutiny, but they did them a great favor, so that in a short period of time, there will basically be no more large numbers of officers and soldiers to kill here, Then favorable conditions were naturally created for Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang to attack Longzhou City.
"Oh? So there is such a thing? It's not surprising to say that whoever it is, I'm afraid they will be the same as Chen Qiyu, and passing the buck is the best thing to be an official at the moment! But I guess, I'm afraid Chen Qiyu won't be so easy to pass this time, after all, there are still discerning people in the court who can see the reason, and someone will definitely play this ginseng Chen Qiyu, with the temper of the emperor today, I'm afraid Chen Qiyu will not have good fruits to eat! In my opinion, I'm afraid that after Chen Qiyu loses his official position this time, the imperial court should let Hong Chengchou take over his position as the governor of the five provinces! Although Xiao Tianjian did not study history, he also knew something about this history, and of course he knew some future developments, so he said to Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng nodded and said: "That's right, although Chen Qiyu shirks the blame, sooner or later he will still be impeached by the officials in the imperial court, and it is estimated that his removal from office is inevitable!" However, if Hong Chengchou succeeds to the governor of the five provinces, I am afraid it will not be easy to do, this Hong Hengjiu is not a good person to meet, this person is good at commanding troops, and the rebels from all walks of life have suffered a lot under his hands, Wang Zuogui, the leader of the rebel army, died at his hands, this person has no faith at all, Wang Zuogui has surrendered to him, but he rebelled, pretending to set up a banquet to entertain Wang Zuogui, but ordered the soldiers to kill Wang Zuogui on the spot! If Hong Chengchou is Chen Qiyu, then this time the dilemma of the carriage gorge may not be so easy to do! ”
Li Zicheng also saw that Xiao Tianjian didn't plan to help him attack the city again anyway, so with his combat strength, the siege was in vain at the moment, so he didn't say anything more, sat in Xiao Tianjian's camp and chatted with Xiao Tianjian for a long time, and then got up and greeted him The two wives returned to his camp, but after that, there was no such intimacy between the two of them as before, and Li Zicheng also clearly felt that Xiao Tianjian had a sense of vigilance against his beginning, which made Li Zicheng feel a little annoyed when he left the camp of the Xingtian Army, This time he Li Zicheng can be said to have exhausted the organs, what is the result? Li Zicheng turned his head to look at the camp of the Xingtian Army, and couldn't help but shake his head.
