(I want to state my original thoughts in the creation of this book, and the relationship between the righteous army at that time, with the situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was far from being overthrown by the righteous army, and the strength of the righteous army was far from growing to the extent that it could shake the foundation of the imperial court, so before the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the struggle between the righteous army and the imperial court was repeated several times, and even almost completely extinguished. For the sake of future development, pig's feet will inevitably establish contact with other rebels, and form a group and the government to do it, this situation is also very common between the rebels, large and small dozens of rebels are divided and combined, but each has its own autonomy, and there is not too much black eating black. And the large-scale merger between them actually began to happen after Li Zicheng took control of Henan! Therefore, Pig's Feet and Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng temporarily established a cooperative relationship, and Hanfeng thought there was nothing wrong with it! Of course, it is impossible to be accidentally swallowed by Gao Yingxiang and them, with the strength of pig's feet, even if Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng want to annex him, I am afraid that they will have to grow a good pair of teeth first, if they are not good to gnaw on, and they have to eat hard, then they must be careful to break off a few of their teeth! I won't be stupid enough to let the pig's feet become someone else's little brother in the end! So please calm down the controversy about these chapters for the time being! I guarantee that there will be continuous cool points for everyone to see in the future! Thank you very much! ）

Li Zicheng sat in his own tent, after Gao Yingxiang led the crowd out of Tianlong Village, he was furious, and let people beat the mountain tiger with thirty military sticks, for Gao Yingxiang to deal with the mountain tiger in this way, Li Zicheng naturally has no opinion, but after all, the mountain tiger is not under his command, so Gao Yingxiang disposed of the mountain tiger, and he is not convenient to interfere, so he took his men back to his camp.

Although Li Zicheng is currently subordinate to Gao Yingxiang's department, but after such a long time of conquest, Gao Yingxiang's original eight teams of men and horses are now only left as a team of the formation, and the remaining seven teams were scattered a lot by the official army when they were in Shanxi, and the main general of the second team lit the lamp, and the other teams also suffered heavy losses and had to form a group, so that now the status of his eight teams of generals has been faintly self-contained under Gao Yingxiang, much higher than the rest of the teams.

The mountain tiger made a fuss in Tianlong Village today, which made him very faceless, after all, it was the Xingtian Army that he sent Tian Jianxiu to contact, after a day of contact, he was very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, among so many poles, this is the only pole he has ever seen that is absolutely top in terms of equipment and training.

And Xiao Tianjian, the big boss of the Xingtian Army, has also expressed his goodwill towards their arrival, thinking that this time it should be able to smoothly pull this Xingtian Army into the group, even if it can't be under his command, at least let them put into Gao Yingxiang's command, once they have such an elite army now, it will undoubtedly be quite helpful for future development.

But unexpectedly, because of a tiger who turned over the mountain, the matter was brought to such a point, so that the Xingtian Army had not yet been attached to them, and there was a huge rift in the relationship between them, and it should not be easy to make up for such a rift.

If the Tiger was his subordinate, he even wanted to kill the Tiger directly, in exchange for Xiao Tianjian and the attachment of the Xingtian Army under his command, but unfortunately he knew Gao Yingxiang's temperament very well, his uncle Gao Yingxiang has always been more protective of his brothers, even if the Tiger breaks into such a big basket today, I am afraid that Gao Yingxiang will not easily kill the Tiger of the Mountain.

Li Zicheng sighed slightly, picked up an old tea bowl and took a sip.

"Is the general still bothered by today's events?" Gu Junen, who was sitting in the tent with him, suddenly said to Li Zicheng.

"Not bad! If it weren't for the Tiger today, it would not be difficult to persuade Xiao Tianjian to belong to us, but now I didn't think that things would have reached such a point, it was really infuriating! Li Zicheng didn't hide the anger in his heart, and replied to Gu Junen.

"Huh! That's true, today's mountain tiger can't get along with Xiao Tianjian so everywhere, I didn't expect it, maybe there is something hidden behind this matter! But please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that today's matter is probably not just about complaining about the mountain tiger, King Chuang is also obviously a little rude to Xiao Tianjian today, if King Chuang drinks the mountain tiger in time, things will not develop to such an uncontrollable point! Gu Junen had no taboo when he spoke, and directly pointed the finger at Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.

Li Zicheng frowned a few times, Gu Junen said this, obviously disrespectful to Gao Yingxiang, but he couldn't deny that the reason why the Mountain Tiger made this matter so far, Gao Yingxiang did have an unshirkable responsibility.

Judging from Gao Yingxiang's current status among the rebels, since Wang Jiayin was killed by a traitor in the fourth year of Chongzhen and last year, that is, in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Wang Ziyong defeated Shanxi and died of illness in the mountains, among the rebels, his uncle Gao Yingxiang has become the strongest and most famous rebel army, and all the rebels can be said to be looking at him as a horse, although it cannot be said that he is empty-eyed now, but with his identity, it is reasonable to look down on Xiao Tianjian's pole, and it is not wrong for him to do this to convince Xiao Tianjian.

What everyone didn't expect was that Xiao Tianjian's subordinates were so strong, and with the ability to climb over the mountain tiger, they actually fought with his subordinates and ended up with a feather returning, which led to the development of things to this point.

"Mr. Gu is better to be cautious, don't say more about this matter! Now, in Mr. Gu's opinion, how should this matter be handled? Li Zicheng warned Gu Junen a little, asking him not to speak too presumptuously, after all, most of the people here are Gao Yingxiang's subordinates, and when this word reaches the ears of his uncle Gao Yingxiang, I am afraid that it will cause a dirt dispute between their nephews and uncles.

Gu Junen nodded and didn't say more, but said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry too much about this, in my opinion, although today's incident is not very pleasant between the two sides, it is far from the extent of tearing his face, and when it comes to the worst, with the current strength of the Xingtian Army, he does not have the capital to oppose King Gao!"

And today's cottage of the Xingtian Army, I don't know if the general noticed it, but after entering the village, he noticed that the Xingtian Army was actually ready to give up this place, and the reason why he was so generous this time took out so many materials to give to us, so that it seemed that it was just a favor to be a favor, and the materials they were unable to take away were transferred to us! ”

Li Zicheng's eyes flashed, he looked at Gu Junen and immediately asked, "If Mr. Care said, then this Xiao Tianjian should actually have the idea of belonging to us?" ”

"Not necessarily! If Xiao Tianjian wanted to defect to King Chuang or the general, then he would not only take out such a little material, as the most important war horse and armor in the military resources, Xiao Tianjian did not give it to us! Today, from Gu Mou's observation of Xiao Tianjian, this Xiao Tianjian has always been humble and arrogant to King Gao Chuang and the general, and he does not mean to cling too much, based on his self-proclaimed Xingtianjun in his department, this person should be a very smart and ambitious person! Therefore, Gu Mou thinks that this Xiao Tianjian has no intention of taking refuge in King Chuang or the general's thoughts!

But even if he has no intention of attaching himself to King Chuang or the general, at least he has the idea of befriending us! Otherwise, they would have left before they learned that we were coming, and they didn't have to stay here at all, waiting for us to come, and sending us a batch of supplies to show us goodwill, so at the very least, he still had the idea of cooperating with General Yu.

As a person who can grow in a short period of time here, he must not be a stupid person, for such a person, I am afraid he can also think clearly, at present, a large number of our righteous army has jumped out of the encirclement of the official army, into the hinterland of Shaanxi, the official army will definitely not sit idly by us in the future, I am afraid that soon he will gather the army of all roads, enter Shaanxi to suppress us, with his current strength, if he continues to stay here, as long as we leave, then his Xingtian army will immediately become the target of the encirclement and suppression of the official army.

On the way this time, Gu Mou had already inquired, in the past six months, the Xingtian Army had broken several large villages in the local area, and defeated the official army twice in a row, and also slaughtered the Li family, the most powerful local family, according to what he did, I am afraid that he would have already become a thorn in the side of the government, if he didn't leave now, he would definitely become the first target of the official army to deal with!

With their current strength, if they don't cooperate with forces like the general or King Chuang, then with their own strength, in the face of a large number of officials and soldiers, I am afraid that there is only one result, that is, they will be wiped out, and in the end, I am afraid that there will not be even a little scum left. Even if they go on the road to evacuate this place alone, I am afraid that they will be provoked by the officers and soldiers to pick them first, and the officers and soldiers like to take the weak ones first, so it is also very dangerous for them to act alone!

So Gu thought that if he wasn't stupid, then his smartest choice at the moment was to leave the local area with us temporarily, and then find another way out with the help of the cover of a large group of rebels!

Therefore, in Gu's opinion, no matter how unpleasant the two sides are this time, this Xiao Tianjian will definitely not turn against us, as long as there is a step down, he will definitely leave the local area with us! Gu Junen gently twisted the beard on his chin and talked eloquently to Li Zicheng, analyzing his views on Xiao Tianjian.

After Li Zicheng heard this, his brows stretched slightly, and he said: "In this way, there should be room for things to turn around, but even if Xiao Tianjian goes with us, today's events will cause him to be estranged from King Chuang, and if you want to use his words in the future, I am afraid it will be more inconvenient!" ”

Gu Junen smiled, picked up the tea bowl, but didn't care that this tea was a very rough tea leaf, drank a few sips with taste, and then put down the tea bowl and said to Li Zicheng: "The general is too worried!" Although Gu also admitted that Xiao Tianjian did have some skills, but compared to the general and King Chuang, he was only a fledgling after all, with his wrist, as long as he followed us, how long could he control his subordinates? If the king or the general is to show favor to him and his men in the future, why should he refuse to obey the command? Even if he is ambitious, compared to King Chuang and the general, how can his subordinates follow him all the way to the dark? ”

Li Zicheng thinks about it, right now, he and King Gao Yingxiang can be said to have already made a name for themselves in the righteous army, who doesn't want to have a more solid backer! Xiao Tianjian should indeed be a more capable person, but with his plate, how can he compare with himself and Gao Yingxiang! Gu Junen is right, as long as he is willing to follow Gao Yingxiang this time, then why worry about not being able to completely subdue him in the future?

So Li Zicheng's brows also stretched at this point, and said with a smile: "What Mr. Gu said is extremely true, just because I wanted to take over their elite too much, but I forgot these things!" Not bad! As long as he is willing to follow us, then things will be easy! ”

Gu Junen nodded and said, "It's best if the general can figure this out, but at the moment, after all, this matter has reached such a point, and it depends on how King Chuang's side deals with it!" Otherwise, if this Xiao Tianjian refuses to obey King Chuang's orders, then it is better to let them go to other families to do things in the future, and it is better to solve them immediately! With the strength of his Heavenly Army, we have so many troops, how can we not take him? ”

The scholar is indeed vicious, Gu Junen's words are very clear, now that they have met Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian Army, if Xiao Tianjian does not follow Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, then his opinion is that since they can't be used for themselves, they will simply ruin them! After all, with such a force as the Xingtian Army, no matter if they join any family rebel army or surrender to the government in the future, it is not a good thing for Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "This can't be done!" Thinking that this time we had a request for him, Xiao Tianjian took the initiative to show favor and sent us so many materials, if just because he refused to serve us, we would kill him, this matter will be very bad for our reputation! I would never do this! We still have to think of a way to make them go with us as much as possible! ……”
