Xiao Tianjian turned out from behind the big case with a smile on his face, and while untying the rope for Zhang Xianzhong with his own hands, he apologized to Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly, of course, he also reprimanded Liu Yaoben with a coy attitude, how could he treat Zhang Dashuai like this?

Zhang Xianzhong smiled bitterly, after letting go of his arms, he rubbed his wrists, and looked up and down Xiao Tianjian, who he saw for the first time, when he saw Xiao Tianjian's angular and masculine face, as well as his tall figure, he thought that he was already good-looking, but after comparing with Xiao Tianjian, it made him feel ashamed of himself.

These soldiers and generals in the Xingtian military camp are well-trained in the big camp, three people in a row and two in a row, and they concentrate on doing things, even if they see him and so many of his prisoners being escorted into the big camp, they did not come over to watch in a hurry, but after sweeping them in a blink of an eye, they continued to do what they should do, and in the school field of the big camp, there are still groups of soldiers who are practicing under the leadership of the officers, and the barracks are set up extremely neatly, although those military tents are shabby, But it was built neatly, as if it was pulled out with a ruler, and there were drainage ditches and other things in the camp, and there was no scene of garbage flowing everywhere and sewage at all, even the feces and urine often seen in the general barracks, there was no point here, and there were obviously some camping toilets for officers and soldiers to go out of the camp everywhere in the camp, and there was no phenomenon of drinking and gambling to see people, not to mention that there were women in the camp, everything seemed to be so clean, and as a person who led the rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong looked at it, When even if he was completely convinced, after looking at the military camp here, no one would believe that the soldiers here had no combat effectiveness, and before he saw Xiao Tianjian, Zhang Xianzhong began to be curious about him, secretly thinking that Xiao Tianjian was a person, and he could actually train his soldiers and generals to look like this.

Now after seeing Xiao Tianjian, he admires Xiao Tianjian a lot, and feels that he is really too arrogant, this is really a person outside the world! He doesn't do anything, he wants to choose to be an enemy of someone like Xiao Tianjian, isn't this self-inflicted? So although he was captured and humiliated, he was a little annoyed with Xiao Tianjian at this time, and saw that Xiao Tianjian personally untied him and asked people to give him a seat, so he hugged Xiao Tianjian and said: "The criminal general Zhang Xianzhong sees Xiao Dashuai!" It's too late for the crime to return in the future, and I hope that Xiao Dashuai will not remember the old mistakes and can spare Zhang once! Zhang no longer dares to be the enemy of the handsome! ”

Xiao Tianjian seemed to be fine, laughing while holding Zhang Xianzhong's wrist affectionately and laughing: "Where, where!" Xiao has heard of the prestige of the Eight Kings for a long time, and he has admired him for a long time, but unfortunately you and I have been here, and we are very busy, so that we have not met until now! It's really late to see each other! It is really rude to invite Brother Zhang to come this time, and I hope that Brother Zhang will not hold grudges! Come on, come on! Meet your old friend, Vice Marshal Luo! ”

Saying that, Xiao Tianjian introduced Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai also took the initiative to greet him at this time, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Zhang Xianzhong, the two of them can be said to be in a complicated mood when they meet, Luo Rucai has to take refuge in Xiao Tianjian earlier, although his status in the Xingtian Army is not too high, he has the title of a deputy marshal, and he also has Xiao Tianjian's trust, many times he gives him soldiers, so that he has a battle to fight, and now he is still quite respected in the Xingtian Army, but he Zhang Xianzhong came this time, but he was arrested by the Xingtian Army, The two of them used to be surprised, but now they met in Xiao Tianjian's big tent.

After the two of them saw each other, there was naturally a greeting, Zhang Xianzhong felt that there was a burst of bitterness in his mouth, he knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, if he could have taken refuge in Xiao Tianjian earlier, then I am afraid that he would not meet Luo Rucai as a prisoner at this time, at least in his opinion, it is not a big problem for him and Luo Rucai to sit on an equal footing under Xiao Tianjian's account, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to have a chance to get ahead in the future.

Xiao Tianjian didn't mention the matter of sending someone to arrest Zhang Xianzhong at all, but only talked about some marginal things, and gave Zhang Xianzhong a banquet, and personally poured wine for Zhang Xianzhong to suppress the shock.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian thought that the possibility of capturing Zhang Xianzhong alive was not very high, and it would be good to kill him, but he didn't expect that Li and Liu would finally capture Zhang Xianzhong alive, so the next thing would be much easier.

Zhang Xianzhong is also a very smart person, otherwise, in this troubled world, he may not be able to live to mix until now, many times surrendered to the court, ups and downs, and can also mix the wind and water, at this time, knowing that there is no longer him jumping, this guy also saw the wind and rudder, without Xiao Tianjian taking the initiative to mention, he took the initiative to say at the banquet that he was willing to return to Xiao Tianjian in the future, lead the stirrup for Xiao Tianjian, wear armor and hold Ge, serve Xiao Tianjian, and attended to give Xiao Tianjian a big gift, which is regarded as a sign of surrender to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian didn't even dare to say it, but in his heart he looked down on Zhang Xianzhong's style and secretly scolded him for being a soft bone, and at the same time capricious, so Xiao Tianjian was very distrustful of Zhang Xianzhong, this guy's ambition was too big compared to Luo Rucai, in his words, he might not make any more small moves, but killing him at the moment is not in his interests, after all, this time he caught Zhang Xianzhong, just killed a group of people in his core, Zhang Xianzhong still has a lot of generals and soldiers and horses are scattered around, These people are Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, if Zhang Xianzhong is killed, then these people will never easily join him again, so in order to integrate forces, Zhang Xianzhong cannot be killed at this time, so he laughed and said that he accepted Zhang Xianzhong's service, and he would reuse Zhang Xianzhong in the future, but he did not appoint Zhang Xianzhong to any position on the spot, this deputy marshal has Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong is not qualified enough.

And Zhang Xianzhong also knew that his current situation was not good, although Xiao Tianjian was very polite to him on the surface, but he always had a feeling, feeling that when Xiao Tianjian looked at him, there was a kind of contempt and coldness in the deepest part of his eyes, so he hurriedly expressed his willingness to submit to Xiao Tianjian, but although Xiao Tianjian was full of acceptance, he did not say anything to give him a job, although Zhang Xianzhong was disappointed, but he did not dare to say anything, after all, the knife of the current family is on his neck, and he can't help but fight for anything, and he feels a little regretful when he thinks about it, If he had been a little more knowledgeable about the times and had surrendered to Xiao Tianjian earlier, then the current situation would definitely be quite good.

After the banquet, Xiao Tianjian left Zhang Xianzhong behind, and talked about Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates who were still distributed in various places, Zhang Xianzhong immediately patted his chest and promised that he would recruit them to surrender, Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction, and said a lot of indifferent nonsense, exaggerating that Xianzhong is a person who understands righteousness, but in a blink of an eye, he mentioned the matter of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates attacking and killing the people of the Heavenly Army, Zhang Xianzhong also had to put the blame on the dragon who caused trouble, Xiao Tianjian sneered, immediately ordered to push out a dragon captured by Zhang Xianzhong and behead it.

As a result, after a while, someone outside held a bloody human head in with a tray, Zhang Xianzhong looked at it, and his heart jumped suddenly, who else could this human head belong to? It was the head of the dragon that had caused him trouble, and the head of the dragon was still grinning with its teeth, as if it wanted to call it, and its eyes were wide open, but its gaze was very empty.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at it and then broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and said in his heart that this surnamed Xiao was really ruthless, while he was caressing, but he gave him a knock on the mountain and shocked the tiger, and killed a dragon to warn him first, so he was even more obedient, and immediately did not talk nonsense, wrote a few letters in his own hand, handed them to Xiao Tianjian, and asked him to arrange for his original soldiers to take these letters and go to various places to find his subordinates, so that they could not delay after seeing the letters, and immediately come to Xiao Tianjian, and also said in the letter that this time he was wrong, and he had been forgiven by Xiao Tianjian, Let your subordinates stop being enemies with the Xingtian Army and come to surrender quickly.

So just in the afternoon of the same day, Li Dingguo, who confronted the Xingtian Army not too far away, led his troops to the outside of the Xingtian Army camp and surrendered to the Xingtian Army, originally he and Ai Nengqi supported Zhang Xianzhong and Xiao Tianjian to join forces, although this time Xiao Tianjian attacked Zhang Xianzhong, captured Zhang Xianzhong, and forced them to surrender, but after all, Zhang Xianzhong was not killed, so after receiving Zhang Xianzhong's letter, Li Dingguo finally chose to surrender to the Xingtian Army.

However, when Li Dingguo led his troops to return, he first asked to see Zhang Xianzhong outside the camp, and he was willing to lay down his arms to accept the reorganization of the Xingtian Army, Xiao Tianjian also immediately met his request, and personally accompanied Zhang Xianzhong out of the camp to see Li Dingguo, for Li Dingguo, Xiao Tianjian is very respectful, after all, Li Dingguo is a general with both civil and military skills, and he is also an out-and-out national hero, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he insisted on leading his troops to resist the Qing army until he died of illness in Lashio, and this alone will not snub him.

When he saw that Zhang Xianzhong was safe and sound, and the commander of the Xingtian Army personally went out of the camp to greet him, Li Dingguo was relieved, and immediately disarmed and ordered his subordinates to lay down their weapons and kneel to surrender to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian very politely helped Li Dingguo up, even called polite, and unexpectedly immediately appointed Li Dingguo as a battalion general, who could lead a battalion alone, and belonged to his Li Xuanzhu to listen to the order, as for the soldiers and horses he brought, Xiao Tianjian also treated leniently, and ordered the selection of people, who were left available, and were included in the Xingtian Army for training, and the rest of the unqualified personnel were all given silver and disbanded, either resettled on the spot, or moved north to various places in Henan for resettlement.

Li Dingguo was relieved at this time, and after thanking him, he officially became a member of the Xingtian Army.
