Chapter 30: Leaving the Queen
、、、、、、、
Li Zicheng was very satisfied with Xiao Tianjian's low profile, so he laughed and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" With such strong help from General Xiao, Li is already very content, how dare he let General Xiao be a pioneer? Such! My department will be lighter, so let's go to the front! This is our old camp, I'm afraid it will be slower, Li asked General Xiao to lead the army to the palace, by the way to take care of our old camp, most of the old camp for Li and the brothers' wives and children, and hundreds of children and soldiers are also in the old camp, if no one takes care of it, it will be taken by the officers and soldiers, and ask General Xiao to escort our old camp and then come to Longzhou. ”
Seeing that Li Zicheng didn't have the idea of fighting the front station by himself, but asked him to take care of their old camp, Xiao Tianjian had a little more affection for Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng did this, obviously conveying goodwill to himself and showing trust in himself, since Li Zicheng did this, then Xiao Tianjian would naturally repay him, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "Since General Li Chuang has already decided, then Xiao is better than obeying his fate!" Please rest assured that General Li Chuang and the generals will hand over the old battalion of your department to Xiao Mou to take care of it, and Xiao Mou will guarantee that he will never let the old battalion of your department be disturbed by the slightest official attack! ”
Li Zicheng's subordinates saw Xiao Tianjian's assurance, and their impression of Xiao Tianjian was also better, although they didn't believe in the real combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, but just looking at the Xingtian Army's formation and equipment level, it is expected that their combat effectiveness will not be much worse, with them responsible for taking care of the old camp in the back, then they will have no worries about rushing to Longzhou first, so everyone thanked Xiao Tianjian, and after the two sides hugged their fists and said goodbye, Li Zicheng gathered their soldiers with his generals and began to set off, heading towards Longzhou.
Xiao Tianjian immediately gave an order, followed closely behind Li Zicheng's old battalion with the Xingtian Army, and began to set off in the direction of Longzhou.
Longzhou is the Longxian of the later generations, located in the west of Shaanxi Province in the later generations, at the junction of Huangyang County, under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Mansion, is the only way to go to Pingliang Mansion in the northwest, for Shaanxi, it is a key pass, there is a guard officer army stationed here, specifically responsible for the security of Longzhou, some time ago Xiao Tianjian heard that the garrison here is the deputy chief soldier of Shaanxi He Renlong, but now He Renlong is still in Longzhou, Xiao Tianjian is not very clear.
But at the moment, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng have obviously locked their eyes on Longzhou, and they may have detected the situation in Longzhou, and in this regard, Xiao Tianjian is obviously at a disadvantage compared to them, he has just formed an army, and his main energy is in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the direction of Longzhou, but judging from Gao Yingxiang's move to lead his troops to Baoji County first, it is obvious that he wants to confuse the attention of the officials and soldiers, and the officers and troops in this area are only 4,000 officers and troops under the command of He Renlong. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian guessed that Gao Yingxiang's move should be to transfer He Renlong out of Longzhou and provide an opportunity for Li Zicheng to capture Longzhou.
Li Zicheng led the four thousand tribes, and after setting off first, he basically did not rest along the way, and rushed all the way to the direction of Longzhou, while the Xingtianjun was responsible for taking care of the old camp of Li Zicheng's department because he had a lot of baggage, and at the same time he was also responsible for taking care of the old camp of Li Zicheng's department, so he slowly embellished behind, considering that there were more women in Li Zicheng's old camp, and even Li Zicheng's two wives Gao and Xing were in the old camp, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, Xiao Tianjian ordered his subordinates to strictly abide by military discipline and not harass each other.
And the Xingtian army has long been accustomed to this kind of strict military discipline, along the way behind Li Zicheng's old camp, pressing the tail of the team and walking slowly, basically not in contact with the other party, and although Li Zicheng handed over the old camp to Xiao Tianjian to take care of, but as the old camp in addition to a large number of his subordinates' wives and children, his old camp also has the role of a baggage battalion, and most of the baggage also moves with the old battalion, so completely hand over the old battalion to outsiders, Li Zicheng will not rest assured, so with the old battalion There is also a sentry horse left by Li Zicheng, Led by Li Zicheng's subordinate Gao Jie, he accompanied the operation to protect the old camp, so Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian Army only provided protection for Li Zicheng's old camp on the periphery.
This Xingtian army also attracted the attention of the people in Li Zicheng's old camp, they all looked curiously at the Xingtian army marching on their two wings, and pointed and pointed at the discussion, some people will inevitably show envy in their eyes, especially for the way the Xingtian army is very curious, after the departure of the Xingtian army, all the generals have always marched according to the speed of the drummers in their army, and always maintained the formation is not chaotic, even if they encounter some narrow sections, they are also staggered forward in an orderly manner, Military discipline has always been in a strict state.
Gao Jie rode on a war horse, and from time to time he looked at the soldiers and horses in front of him, from the initial disdain, gradually began to be shocked.
He originally thought that the Xingtian Army was just acting when they first set off, and after walking all the way, it must be difficult for them to maintain such a military appearance, but after walking all the way to the afternoon, it was close to dusk, and the Xingtian Army always maintained a formation, and there was no chaos at all, and their generals seemed to be very resilient, and few people would be left behind, and the drums sounded all the way among them, and these soldiers and generals walked all the way with the drums, and they did not see their tiredness at all.
And look at the generals under his command, not to mention the women and children of this old battalion, military discipline is not binding on them, and it is nothing to mess up, but even the five hundred people under his command, compared with the subordinates of the Xingtian Army, are obviously not on the same level, which makes Gao Jie, who was originally a little arrogant, quite discouraged, and originally wanted to see the jokes of the Xingtian Army, but at the end of the day, not only did he not see it as a joke of the Xingtian Army, but the performance of the generals on his side fell behind, This made Gao Jie a little depressed.
After starting from Tianlongzhai, they did not take the official road from Huangyang to Longzhou, but took a shortcut, and directly inserted into Longzhou from the northeast of Longzhou, basically there was no big armed force along the way, and only a few large villages were on the way forward.
And although these Dazhuang have some weapons, they will never dare to provoke such a large number of mutant troops passing through them, not to mention that after they saw the first batch of thousands of mutant troops passing through here, they saw the Xingtian Army flag that appeared behind them from a distance, and they did not dare to offend them, so they had to close the gate of the village tightly, and prayed in the Zhuangzi in fear, begging these rebels not to beat their Zhuangzi's idea.
The ultimate purpose of Li Zicheng and Xiao Tianjian's trip was to capture Longzhou, so they didn't bother to deal with these Zhuangzi passing by, but when they passed through these Zhuangzi, they sent people outside the Zhuangzi to threaten the people in the Zhuangzi, so that they could not come out to find trouble, so they let them go and rushed to the direction of Longzhou.
Gao Jie, as the commander of the old battalion, looked at the sky, so he rode his horse and galloped towards the middle army of the Xingtian Army with a few personal soldiers.
"General Xiao, it's not early now, it seems that today, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up outside Longzhou City, why don't I camp on the spot, rest for a night, and then continue to hurry tomorrow?" Although Gao Jie is responsible for leading Li Zicheng's old camp, in terms of etiquette, it is still necessary for him to say hello to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian also looked at the sky, it should have been four or five o'clock in the afternoon at this time, and the sun in the sky has already turned west, although in his opinion, it is not too late to go for another hour, but since Gao Jie has proposed to camp and rest, considering that most of Li Zicheng's old camp are old and weak, women and children, and they are not as good as the generals under his command, so he nodded with a smile and said: "Since General Gao wants to camp and rest, then as General Gao wishes, camp here!"
Our department is camped on the east side of your department, if necessary, General Gao can send someone to find him! Don't worry about the peripheral generals, leave it to our department to take care of!
Come, give the order to go down, stop advancing, and set up camp on the spot to bury the pot and cook food! ”
With the sound of a trumpet, the drumbeat of the various units of the Xingtian Army that was winding on the road stopped abruptly, and then there was a command from an officer to stop advancing, and more than 2,000 members of the Xingtian Army immediately stopped, and according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, they quickly gathered together and began to camp on the spot at the place ordered by Xiao Tianjian.
Gao Jie looked at the people of the Xingtian Army who were moving quickly, and praised slightly, the Xingtian Army can have such a big reputation in Fengxiang Mansion, it seems that it is not a fluke, just looking at the style of the Xingtian Army's orders and prohibitions, he can't help but admit that the training level of the Xingtian Army should be far above their righteous army.
So Gao Jie said to Xiao Tianjian: "This is very good, then there is General Lao Xiao!" With that, he immediately turned his horse back to his headquarters and began to order the encampment.
When the time came to August, the day began to become shorter, just after the unitary hour, the sky was completely dark, the two camps were separated by a distance of about a mile, each of them settled, a pile of bonfires were lit in the two camps, the cooking of rice, the boiling of water, each was a busy color, and a war horse rushed out of the Xingtian army, and soon disappeared into the darkness, guarding all the main roads within five miles of the periphery.
Gao Jie stood outside the old camp with his hands behind his back, looking at the big camp of the Xingtian Army not far away, looking at the figures of the soldiers of the Xingtian Army in the camp and listening to the various passwords, he frowned and shook his head and said to himself: "What an odd number!" When did such a team of soldiers and horses come out of this place! ……”
Before he could finish inspecting the sentry posts in the camp, a female soldier from the old battalion found Gao Jie and said to Gao Jie: "General Gao, Mrs. Xing is invited!" ”
