Chapter 4 Robbery Targets
Before dawn, Xiao Tianjian was awakened in a nightmare, he dreamed that someone was holding a steel knife and slashing at him, so he screamed and sat up suddenly, grabbed the waist knife beside him, looked up and saw that the subordinates around him were looking at him with surprised eyes, he quickly wiped a handful of sweat, and stood up with a dry cough in embarrassment.
Tietou hurriedly handed the bamboo tube filled with water in front of him, Xiao Tianjian poured a few sips, and his mood calmed down, when he fell asleep, he dreamed that these days, the people who were robbed and killed by him asked him for his life, but he was powerless to resist, especially the beggar who was taken away by him, pulling him and shouting, give me my life!
Shaking his head, Xiao Tianjian gradually calmed down, he comforted himself in his heart, he was right, in order to live, he should do this, no matter at any time in this world, it is the weak and the strong, only the strong can survive, and as the weak can only be eliminated, so he should not have any guilt, not to mention that even if the beggar had that vegetable dumpling, he might not be able to survive, so he used this excuse to make himself feel at ease.
"Boss, where are we going today?" Zhao Erdonkey saw that Xiao Tianjian had woken up, so he hurried over and asked Xiao Tianjian.
This question was also a question that Xiao Tianjian considered before going to bed last night, he beckoned a few people who followed him first to come over, and asked them: "Do you know any other big households around here that we can start?" ”
Everyone was a little embarrassed on their faces, and they all understood the meaning of Xiao Tianjian's question, which was to let them come up with ideas to find someone who could start!
But now the rebel army has been in Shaanxi for nearly many years, plus the official army has often chased and suppressed the rebel army in Shaanxi over the years, and the two sides have torn back and gone, Shaanxi has long been in danger for everyone, not to mention the corruption of the official army and military discipline, Mingli is the official army, but these officers and soldiers can't get paid, they can't eat enough and don't warm up, and there is no good way to do anything other than robbing, so the official army is much more fierce than the chaotic army that is raising up the army, and any bad thing can be done, and all parts of the country are already in chaos. The rich have either fled to other places with their family wealth, or simply build an earthen fort and recruit their families to defend themselves, even if hundreds of rebels want to easily capture a local tyrant's fort at the moment, it is not easy, not to mention that they are just such a few people at the moment, and if they want to capture a stockade or earthen fort, it can basically be said to be sent to death.
So after Xiao Tianjian asked this sentence, everyone didn't answer, they looked at each other one by one, and no one came out to respond.
Xiao Tianjian was really helpless when he saw that everyone didn't speak, but he still asked again, wanting to see if anyone had any way!
This time, someone finally answered, and the person who answered was the Feng Gouzi who was whipped yesterday, the thin monkey-like Feng Gouzi endured the pain on his back, and cautiously came over and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Zhangpan, from us, more than 20 miles to the west, there is a soil fort, which is Liu Papi's old house, we might as well go there to do his vote, I heard that this old rich family has a lot of food, and it is enough for us to eat for a while!" ”
As soon as his words fell, someone immediately raised objections, and a man named Yang Laoben pointed at Feng Gouzi and scolded: "Okay, you Feng Gouzi, even if you whipped you yesterday, you can't hurt our brothers like this!" Who doesn't know that Liu Papi's fort is not easy to fight? Last time, hundreds of rebels attacked for a few days, and 100 people died, and they couldn't take down his stockade.
Palm the plate, this thing is not good, you can't listen to this guy if you say anything, let's just have so many people, in my opinion, it's better to go to the king of Gaochuang! I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of troops under the command of King Gao Chuang, and with the ability to control the plate, if he takes refuge in King Gao Chuang, he can be a leader anyway! ”
Zhao Erdonkey's words immediately attracted the echo of some people, and they all pointed at Feng Gouzi and scolded, saying that Feng Gouzi had bad intentions and wanted to kill everyone, and some people even rolled up their arms and sleeves to go up and repair Feng Gouzi.
"Shut up! Do you still have me in your eyes? I mentioned it, Feng Gouzi can put forward his opinion, it's better than you not saying anything! Let Feng Gouzi finish speaking, I will decide whether to go or not! Xiao Tianjian suddenly frowned and reprimanded these people.
Xiao Tianjian of course knows who Zhao Erdonkey said about King Gao Chuang, as far as he knows in later generations, of course he knows that King Gao Chuang is Gao Yingxiang, and Li Zicheng was elected as the new King of Chuang by his subordinates after Gao Yingxiang's army was defeated and died, at this time the biggest leader of the rebel army in the world should be Gao Yingxiang, and he didn't think about it, during this time he was also thinking about how to mix things next, but unfortunately he knew Gao Yingxiang's fate very well, and knew that Gao Yingxiang was not a person who could achieve great things, and sooner or later he would be captured by the government. ended up being scraped alive! So Xiao Tianjian didn't think it was a good idea to take refuge in Gao Yingxiang, not to mention that he didn't know where Gao Yingxiang was at this time, and there was nowhere to find him!
And now, in addition to Gao Yingxiang, several of the more famous rebel armies are the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, and so on, but although Xiao Tianjian has heard of these people, it is certain that these people have no possibility of success except for Li Zicheng, who almost succeeded later, so he doesn't want to go to them, not to mention that with his identity and the strength of his subordinates, even if he votes for them, if it's good, give him a little leader, if people look down on him, If you can't get it right, you can only be a cannon fodder soldier! So he basically doesn't think about this matter at the moment, it's better to be the boss himself!
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Erdonkey mentioned that he would lead this group of people to join Gao Yingxiang, Xiao Tianjian was immediately furious, and immediately spoke out to reprimand Zhao Erdonkey's gang, and as soon as everyone heard Xiao Tianjian's words, they quickly shut up and stayed aside honestly.
"Feng Gouzi, after you finished speaking, why did you propose that we go to fight Liu Papi's village? What do you think? Xiao Tianjian turned to Feng Gouzi and asked him.
Feng Gouzi looked at Xiao Tianjian gratefully, and quickly replied, "Hold the plate!" I'm not serious about harming you! I heard some time ago that after Liu Papi was attacked by the rebels, although his village was not captured by the rebels, Liu Papi was also frightened, took most of his family and his family, and transferred most of his family wealth to the new house in Fengxiang Mansion.
Although his stockade is very strong, but the small one has gone in to steal his things before, and knows that there is a place to sneak into, we have few people, just easy to do, and the small one can lead the way, and it may not be successful!
What I said is true, I will never dare to deceive you! Otherwise, I won't be able to die! ”
When Feng Gouzi said these words, Xiao Tianjian kept staring at his eyes, and after he finished speaking, Xiao Tianjian didn't notice that Feng Gouzi's eyes flickered, and secretly summed up for a while, and then made up his mind in his heart.
"Good! I believe in you! Since you say so, then let's go and do a big ticket today, and hit Liu Papi's village! Xiao Tianjian stood up and said to everyone present.
Everyone was a little worried, and some doubted that Xiao Tianjian was crazy, and actually believed the words of Feng Gouzi, a ruffian, and led them to beat Zhuangzi who was Liu Peeling, which was simply a joke with their lives! couldn't help but make up their minds whether to follow along.
Looking at the eyes of these people around him, Xiao Tianjian had to be patient, he found a wooden stake and sat down, and said to everyone: "I know you are afraid, but since you have followed me Xiao Tianjian in this business, then there is no turning back!"
I don't need to say that you yourself understand, think about what days we used to live, this world wants to live, the only way to starve to death is to be timid and afraid, we have been mixed up for almost a month now, but now we can only eat half full every day, that is, we dare not touch the hard, like this, either we will go to ask for food sooner or later, waiting to starve to death, or simply do a big job, can last a few more days!
Early death and late death are deaths, but it is better to let go and give it a go! It's done, we will have no worries about food and clothing for a period of time in the future, and if we fail, it's a big deal to leave!
I know you look down on Feng Gouzi, but since Feng Gouzi follows me, then I will treat him as my brother, and I will do the same for you!
I believe in Feng Gouzi, I smoked him yesterday because he made a mistake, but as long as he follows me for a day, I will trust him for a day! If you don't have the guts, you can not follow me today, but those who stay should not be greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise, Lao Tzu will not tolerate him! ”
Feng Gouzi listened to Xiao Tianjian's words, his nose suddenly became sour again, and tears almost flowed out again......
The iron head stood up and said angrily: "I follow the plate, and he will go wherever he says!" Our lives are given by the palm of the plate, not the palm of the plate, you would have starved to death a long time ago, afraid of a fart! It's a big deal! He pressed the newly acquired waist knife on his waist, as if he was demonstrating to everyone.
Then the tiger-headed bull also stood up and said: "I'll go with the palm plate, what the iron head said is right, if it weren't for the palm plate, we would have starved to death, where can we stay here?" This year's life is cheap, and it's useless to be afraid of death, damn it up, I'm out of it! ”
In the end, no one chose to leave, because everyone knew that if they left, they might not survive for even a few days, and now they could have someone to take with them, so there was still a glimmer of hope, so although everyone was a little worried, they all stayed in the end.
More than 20 miles is not far away, but for their group, they still walked for most of the day, and they did not come to the vicinity of Liujiazhuang until the afternoon.
After Xiao Tianjian raised his hand, everyone squatted down in a ditch, stretched out their heads on the edge of the ditch and looked at the earthen fort in front of them.
Liu Papi is indeed wealthy, after some business, his Zhuangzi now occupies an area of dozens of acres of land, built up to more than one zhang of rammed earth wall around, and the four corners are built with logs to build up the arrow tower, only the front and back two doors can be used for people to enter and exit, around the Zhuangzi there is also a deep trench, in and out of the Zhuangzi to put down the suspension bridge, surrounded by open farmland, on the earthen wall can see far away, basically someone approaches Zhuangzi, can not avoid the eyes of the people in the Zhuangzi, it is definitely an easy to defend and difficult to attack place.
After seeing the situation in Liujiazhuang, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and said in their hearts, no wonder the rebel army couldn't defeat Liujiazhuang, it was really difficult to deal with here, otherwise, in so many years, Zhuangzi like this should have been beaten down by bandits from all walks of life, where can they still be here! Some people couldn't help but start scolding Feng Gouzi again, complaining that this guy was so good that he would not die, how could he think of the idea of proposing to come here to fight this Zhuangzi.
Xiao Tianjian also lay on the edge of the ditch and carefully looked at the Liujiazhuang in front of him, and secretly made some mistakes in his heart, he knew very well his current strength, if he wanted to forcibly take Liujiazhuang with their little people, it was simply asking for his own death, not waiting for them to run under the earthen wall of Zhuangzi, I am afraid that he would be shot to death by the strong man in Zhuangzi with arrows outside the village, he couldn't help but be a little worried, he decided to fight here today, is he a little poor and crazy, a little greedy and not enough to swallow the elephant, whether he is too impulsive.
