(I'm glad to see that although I didn't shout for votes yesterday, I still got more than 100 red tickets, so I'm glad to see that!) I hope you will make it a habit to vote red! Hehe! ）

What Xiao Tianjian didn't know was that at the same time, it was very lively in Lijiazhuang, and the villagers and poles who were invited to help the battle had already gathered outside Lijiazhuang, waiting outside Lijiazhuang to leave.

However, the 500 officers and soldiers who came from Fengxiang Mansion did not arrive for a long time, and Li Yuanwai sent people to urge many times, but still did not see these 500 officers and soldiers coming.

It's not that Li Fengtian is in a hurry, because this operation is his main business, and the villagers and poles gathered are concentrated outside his village, and the problem of eating is to be taken care of by him, the proprietor, a team of nearly 1,000 people gathered together, and it is a lot of consumption for people to eat horses and chew every day, although he is wealthy, but the food that is eaten like flowing water every day still makes him feel painful.

What's more, there are not only a few other Zhuangzi Xiangyong who came this time, but also some local poles, and there will inevitably be some grudges between the two sides.

So just began to assemble, there was a conflict between Zhuang Outside Zhuang and Wang Yuanwai, he first fought outside Lijiazhuang, and both sides were killed and wounded, almost making a big mess, and then Li Fengtian personally came forward, so it was not easy to mediate this conflict, otherwise, this time they acted together, just because of this may be miscarried.

Under Li Fengtian's urging and threats, the result was that they waited for three days before the officers and soldiers of the Fengxiangwei finally arrived outside Lijiazhuang in the southeast of Huangyang County.

This time the team came to Feng Xiangwei's Qianzong, named Ding Baoquan, the person is five short and fat, he wants to pant when he walks a few steps, he can ride a war horse, but he can still move, if he leaves the war horse, I really don't dare to think if this guy can run.

This Ding Baoquan's ancestor is a general who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to make an incident, and was assigned to Fengxiangwei to be a general, this Ding Baoquan's thousand total is also passed down by lineage, and he is considered a descendant of Jiangmen, but when it comes to his area, this martial arts can no longer be mentioned, and the family is richer than the average landlord, known as having 100 hectares of fertile land and more than 100 domestic slaves.

This time he was ordered to come to Wangyang, it can be said that he was reluctant, some time ago the governor of the five provinces Chen Qiyu mobilized Shaanxi soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the rebellious army, he spent money to buy through the joints and did not go to join in the fun, I thought that I could stay at home in peace, but I didn't expect to get such an errand, let him order Feng Xiangwei's five hundred officers and soldiers, come to this Huangyang County to suppress what bandits, this Ding Baoquan is really unspeakably unhappy, so after receiving the order, he refused to set off.

Later, it was Shangfeng who forced him, so he had to order the soldiers and horses, and he also asked for a sum of money, and after sending a part of it, he took these soldiers who had just gotten together out of Fengxiangwei, and dragged along the way to Huangyang County.

Originally, it was only a distance of less than 100 miles, but this guy was stunned to take the team for four days, and he couldn't walk 20 miles a day, so he would stop and rest, and he really put the old lady Li of Huangyang to be anxious about a Buddha ascending to heaven and two Buddhas out of the body, and finally on the day of May 23, he rushed to the outside of Lijiazhuang.

This Ding Baoquan didn't dare to be too rude to this old lady Li, after all, there are people in this old lady Li's family who are officials in the capital, and he is a military general.

So after arriving in Lijiazhuang, although he was a military attache of the imperial court, he still lowered his posture and took the initiative to enter the village to meet this old lady Li.

This old lady Li was in a hurry, and finally saw this military attache leading the troops here, so he endured his anger and still saw this Ding Baoquan.

"Ding Qian has worked hard all the way! But I don't know why Mr. Ding Qian came this time, why did he delay so much? "This old lady Li relied on someone in the court, and he didn't fake his color to Ding Qian, so he directly questioned Ding Baoquan.

Ding Baoquan secretly scolded this old bastard in his heart for not being a thing, but with a humble smile on his fat face, he hurriedly hugged his fists and replied: "See Old Man Li!" This humble post came late, in fact, it is not a lowly duty! Outside Mr. Li, you also know that the military households in this guard house have often not been able to get their salaries over the years, and the soldiers under the lowly subordinates have not seen their salaries for almost a year. If you want them to assemble and send troops, it's difficult! After the humble post was ordered, it was not easy to gather the soldiers, but Shangfeng did not send the money for a long time, and the soldiers refused to set off, and there was really no way to do the humble duty!

A few days ago, I finally received the money, and I hurriedly rushed over with my brothers, but it was really difficult to walk on this road, and the food and grass were not enough, and the brothers could not go fast, so it was delayed to this day!

I hope that in addition to Mr. Li, you can have a lot of Haihan! It's not that he doesn't want to come here to help the old lady suppress the bandits! ”

After Li Fengtian heard this, he thought about this situation, the officers and soldiers are often short of pay now, and it is really difficult to mobilize them, and it is also through Ding Baoquan's ascent that he mobilized the officers and soldiers of Feng Xiangwei, and he wants them to come with morale like a rainbow, unless they are piled up with money in front of them, otherwise, don't want the officers and soldiers to cheer up and suppress the bandits.

But Li Fengtian still waved his hand to Ding Baoquan and said: "Ding Qian's words are wrong! This time to suppress bandits, where are the officials and soldiers to assist our squires! Originally, it was the duty of the officials and the army to suppress bandits, but it was we, the squires, who organized the villagers to come out bravely, to assist the officers and soldiers in suppressing bandits! Ding Qian can't be mistaken about this! ”

Ding Baoquan suddenly scolded this Li Fengtian in his heart, and said in his heart that he came here this time, it was Lao Tzu who cooperated with you and helped you, why did you become the main force of me now, and you guys have become me to help me?

But he couldn't scold this, Ding Baoquan still forced a smile and said: "This is nature, this is nature!" Hehe! It's just that I'm here this time, and I'm not familiar with this place, and I still have to rely on your help for many things!

This time the troops came here, and there was not much food allocated from above, and these soldiers and generals under the lowly subordinates always had to eat, so how could they go into battle to suppress bandits without food and money? This point depends on the help of Mr. Li!

As long as the money and food arrive, the humble duty can lead the army to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, otherwise, you always know that this army's heart is difficult to stabilize! ”

This Li Fengtian is also angry in his heart, and said in his heart, as long as you move your buttocks, you will have to raise money, and if you don't have money, you won't do anything, so what's the use of the court raising your generals? But he didn't want to tear his face with this Ding Baoquan, after all, he was just a local gentry, and he was an official of the imperial court, and it was a face to be able to bow his eyebrows and speak to himself, and what he said was the truth, and now Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and Huguang are all gathering troops to encircle and suppress those big poles, where are you interested in taking care of his little business! This money and food will definitely not give this Ding much protection, if you want these officers and soldiers to sell their lives, you still have to have money and food to open the way!

Li Fengtian was also mentally prepared for this, and had already discussed this matter with several big villages around him in advance, and asked each family to send some money and grain here to the officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers could go out to fight for them to suppress bandits.

So now these things are already in place, since Ding Baoquan asked for it, then pull him down, and send troops to Tianlong Village as soon as possible to do the surname Xiao, and the province will have a lot of dreams at night.

"This old man has already thought about Ding Qian! Since the old man and others invited Mr. Ding Qian to come and suppress the bandits, naturally they will not let the officers and soldiers go on an empty stomach! Now the old man Zhuang has prepared 500 taels of silver for Ding Qian, as well as 100 stones of grain, two pigs, and five sheep, just waiting for Ding Qianzong to be sent to the army as soon as he arrives! I also hope that Ding Qian can always raise troops as soon as possible, so as not to let those bandits learn the news of Tao Zhi's death! This matter still depends on Mr. Ding Qian! Li Fengtian narrowed his eyes and said lightly to Ding Baoquan, and took a sip of the tea bowl.

After Ding Baoquan heard this, he was much more satisfied, and said in his heart No matter how arrogant this old guy is, he still knows the rules, although five hundred taels of silver is not much, but it is not less, not to mention that before this time he sent out the army, he had already received five hundred taels of money, make up the number, this time his subordinates can mix more or less one or two pieces of silver, so they don't mess up, he can still deduct some of them and put it in his waist bag, this trip is not in vain.

So Ding Baoquan immediately patted his chest with a smile and promised: "Old man Li, please rest assured, isn't it just a group of poor ghosts!" I'll leave this matter to you! Tomorrow morning, I will send troops to the army, and I will surely destroy them in ashes! In the next farewell, please wait for the good news tomorrow! ”

When he brought the troops here, he saw a large number of villagers gathered outside Lijiazhuang, plus the five hundred officers and soldiers under his command, unless they encountered a large number of poles, the number of them exceeded them by a lot, otherwise, it was basically a matter of hand-to-hand.

It's no wonder that Ding Baoquan is so arrogant, in fact, although Ding Baoquan has repeatedly avoided wars in recent years, but he has also led troops to fight a few battles with the chaotic people, in his eyes, whether it is a pole or a chaotic people, there is nothing to be afraid of, a group of guys with wooden sticks and hoes, huddled together in a chaotic manner, although he is not good at fighting, but at least he is behind the gate, and he knows the method of point array warfare, often leading troops to rush, and after slashing a few people casually, the opponent often collapses immediately, and then waits for him to lead the army to chase and cut behind, In the past few years, this style of play can be said to have been tried and tested, and he can be regarded as accumulating some merits.

So when he came this time, he heard Shangfeng say that he was just coming to encircle and suppress a group of two or three hundred people, so he stupidly accepted the order to come, and he didn't take this incident as a big deal.

Seeing Ding Baoquan's indifferent appearance, and his figure, Li Fengtian was really a little uneasy, and he had already served tea to the guests, but he still stopped Ding Baoquan and said: "Ding Qian, always go slowly!" You went to suppress the bandits this time, don't be too careless! Li heard that the pole has been very arrogant recently, and there have been as many as five or six hundred people, so don't despise them too much! In addition, the old man also heard that the palm of the pole is called Xiao Yiaxe, he is very brave and good at fighting, and recently annexed the surrounding two poles in a row, and also laid down a Zhuangzi, it should be a person with some ability, Ding Qian must not be too light on the enemy! ”

Hearing this, Ding Baoquan was really startled, and immediately scolded again in his heart, grandma's, didn't you say that there were only two or three hundred people when you came? How come it is that there are more than twice as many bandits here! Isn't this a pit for Lao Tzu?

And according to what Li Lao Wang Ba said, the opponent is still a person with some ability, no wonder, no wonder they have gathered so many villagers, but they still have to go to Fengxiang Mansion to ask for troops, which clearly shows that Lao Tzu is desperate in front, and they take the opportunity to take advantage of it!

So he rolled his eyes, quickly stopped, turned around and hugged his fist at Li Fengtian and said, "What is this?" This time, I brought 500 elite soldiers, how could I be afraid of them! It's just that I'm just waiting for the first time to be in the local area, after all, I'm still not familiar with this place, and I will inevitably trouble the local townspeople. ”

Li Fengtian saw that Ding Baoquan had already paid attention to it, so he nodded and said, "This is nature!" This battle is mainly based on the official army, and the old man has also gathered nearly a thousand local villagers, that is, to Ding Qian's general horse's head, before tomorrow's departure, the old man will inform them that this time to go to suppress bandits, they must obey Ding Qian's dispatch! ”

Ding Baoquan was much more satisfied, and he bowed and retired again, dragging his big belly with a dragon and walking posture, and walked out of Lijiazhuang......
