406. The blind man has never seen the sun
Li Jieqiong's family was killed by the rampaging wolf, and she herself was almost insulted by the rampaging wolf, but fortunately she escaped with her cleverness, but after that, she hated the thief very much, and often thought about killing the thief to take revenge.
When Zhu Jun seized southern Shaanxi, she learned that she was actually a group of thieves who took her in, so she was naturally surprised, but she had been with the leaders of Zhu Jun for a long time and knew that they were not bad people, so she was not very afraid. After Xue Hongqi's explanation, she knew that thieves should also be divided into three, six, nine and so on, some thieves are evil thieves, and some thieves are righteous thieves, as for Zhu Jun...... It can't be regarded as a thief army at all, it should be regarded as a regular army fighting for the world.
With this understanding, Li Jieqiong's antipathy for thieves has decreased slightly, and her enemies have been reduced from all thieves to one wolf, which can be regarded as ideological progress.
She admired Xue Hongqi very much, from head to toe, wearing exactly the same clothes, accessories, hairstyle as Xue Hongqi, and even the arc of the scimitar hanging on her waist had to be deliberately made the same as Xue Hongqi. Except for a slightly smaller size, there is almost no difference, if you only look at the back, others can't tell the difference.
Li Jieqiong walked to everyone's side, and the first sentence was: "Sister, you have to see clearly that you can collect people inside, if you encounter the dog thief of the rampant wolf, you must not be included in our army, and I will kill him to avenge my family." ”
Xue Hongqi nodded at her, stroked her head, and didn't say much.
At this time, the small leader of the Zhu army had already come to take the bearded man down and assigned him a camp, because the 1,000 bearded people were not trained and did not know how to march and fight, so the Zhu army did not immediately incorporate him into the army, but made an independent camp to store them in it. They won't be needed in a short period of time, and it will take time to be able to turn them into use after training, but the bearded man doesn't understand this truth, and thinks that his thousand brothers are all heroes who dare to fight and will be reused.
When Li Jieqiong saw this scene, she couldn't help but gently pull Xue Hongqi's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Sister, why don't you keep these people for yourself?" It's all given to Zhu Bugs, isn't my sister's strength unable to grow? ”
Xue Hongqi shook his head lightly and said, "I know that I have some ability. Just these five hundred horse thieves and thousands of foot soldiers almost made me worried, what weapons, armor, money, grain and grass, made me head and two. If the strength continues to expand, I am afraid that I will vomit blood and die, and I understand the truth that people wear as big hats as their heads are. ”
Li Jieqiong said in a low voice: "My sister can't manage it, can she take care of talents, just like Zhu Ba, aren't the leaders he collected to help him take care of things?" With the charm of my sister, the famous ministers and fierce generals, don't they all have to obediently bow down and obey orders? ”
Xue Hongqi smiled bitterly. I thought to myself: If I want to be really attractive, I won't be in my twenties and still can't get married.
She had no choice but to say, "I don't want to be big, what are you doing with so much trouble?" ”
Li Jieqiong pouted: "If my sister's strength is not strong enough, I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat the rampant wolf, how will I take revenge in the future?" ”
Xue Hongqi said proudly: "You can rest assured of this." With my 500 cavalry, it is enough to kill the rampaging wolf seventeen or eighteen times. ”
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and said to Xue Hongqi: "Sister Xue Hongqi, please order the door to be opened and closed." I'm going to send a team out of the customs to take care of something. ”
"Send someone out?" Xue Hongqi was taken aback: "What are you going out to do?" The situation outside the border is not good now. If it's reconnaissance intelligence, we already have spies lurking outside, so we don't need to add another team. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have to send someone to Babaoshan to take the mine thieves into the pass." ”
Xue Hongqi suddenly realized, now the situation in the Central Plains is complicated, if the mining thieves are still mining in Babao Mountain to make weapons, it will be very unsafe, even if they are lucky and no one finds Babao Village, but the weapons and armor they have made may not be able to be transported into the pass, because the Tongguan will soon be crowded with rogues.
At that moment, the gate was opened, and a thousand clever soldiers were sent out of the gate to pick up people in the Lushi Mountains.
Everyone was stationed at Tongguan, closely watching the situation in the Central Plains, and from time to time heard the news of the defeat of the rebel army and the advance of the officers and soldiers. From time to time, there will be small groups of rogue kou in Tongguan, begging to enter the customs towards Xue Hongqi on the pass, most of these small bands of rogue are just a few words, and they agree to join the Zhu army, only a very few are unwilling to join the gang and are driven away by Xue Hongqi.
A few days later, the miners in the Hushi Mountains were picked up by Zhu Jun, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to take them to Xianyang to resettle, these miners because of their identities are not visible, have been forced to live in the mountains, and now finally have the opportunity to live back in the city, the heart is infinitely happy, Zhu Yuanzhang in order to facilitate their work, but also do not want to separate this group of people to resettle, so in Xianyang built a "blacksmith street" to accommodate these mine thieves to work there.
As for the loss of Babaoshan open-pit iron mine, it is not a serious problem, not far from the southeast of Xi'an Prefecture, there is a Zhashui County, where the Daxigou iron ore has more reserves than Babaoshan, and the difficulty of mining is lower.
The arrival of the mine thieves brought the latest information to Zhu Jun, the army of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui, and the Eight Kings of Xiying had arrived at Zhuyang Pass on the south side of the Lushi Mountains. The main force of these righteous armies, with a total strength of more than 100,000, and the camps stretched for more than 60 miles, frightening the officers and soldiers and people within a radius of hundreds of miles to scatter like birds and beasts.
Hearing that they had come so close, everyone knew that these guys were going to Tongguan in a few days, so they stepped up their precautions and rode day and night.
This morning, the scout came back to report that Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was here...... Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly led the leaders to climb the wall, the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Zhu army and the thousands of soldiers of the Xue Hongqi Department were all nervously in place, the Fulang machine guns on the city wall were all ready, the firecrackers and crossbowmen were on standby on the wall, and the big flag was dancing on the Tongguan Gate, and the big characters of Baishui Zhu Ba and Yulin Xue Hongqi were waved in the wind, so that people could feel an invisible murderous aura here from a hundred zhang away.
After waiting for a while, the banner of the Chuang army really appeared on the eastern horizon, the golden Chuang Wang Banner and the silver Chuang General Banner came together, the momentum was extraordinary, and behind them, it was the banner of Lao Hui and the Eight Kings of Xiying, each with its own majesty.
There are no less than 100,000 troops in the narrow strip outside Tongguan, the front one has already reached the wall, and the one at the back of the team has not yet entered the eye, this huge army frightened the recruits of the Zhu army. However, the veterans who had dealt with rampant wolves and Yidougu in Huaxian County had already seen the might of the 100,000-strong army, but they were not too afraid, but they just held their weapons tightly.
Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, didn't show any hostility, he rode out of the ranks, came to the wall, and said loudly: "The daughter of the old Xue family, open the door quickly, let Uncle Gao in." "When he made this move, he actually played the family card.
Xue Hongqi secretly felt funny in her heart, she climbed the city wall and said loudly to Gao Yingxiang: "Uncle Gao, is your body okay?" I heard that Uncle Gao recently showed the font size, and his niece and nephew admired it. At this time, Gao Yingxiang has announced his real name to the world, and his nephew Li Zicheng has naturally also shown his name, since this pair of uncles and nephews dare to show their names, it shows their determination to fight with the court to the end, and it is a beautiful talk in the righteous army. Many small group of rebel army leaders, all of them are responsible men for their uncles and nephews.
Of course, the consequences of this responsibility are also very serious, and if you report your name, you will be found out, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Mizhi * County ordered Bian Dashou to lead people to dig up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave. This is a serious historical event, in this time and space, due to the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang, the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi have been exterminated or besieged in Xi'an Mansion, and all county orders and mansions have been controlled by the rebels, which can be regarded as helping Li Zicheng to guard the ancestral tomb.
Gao Yingxiang heard Xue Hongqi greeting him, but he pretended not to know about the request to open the door, his heart was slightly angry, and his face sank and said: "The daughter of the old Xue family, open the door first, let your Uncle Gao come in and talk later?" ”
Xue Hongqi said: "Uncle Gao, don't blame your niece for offending, west of this wall, is your nephew's territory, you are the eldest brother of the Mobei Horse Gang, you naturally understand the rules of our horse gang, whose territory is gouging, and if you cross the line, you will have to cut off your hands and feet and cut off your head." When my father was still alive, you didn't let him eat in your territory, did you? ”
When Xue Hongqi's father was still there, although he and Gao Yingxiang were brothers, the two brothers also guarded their own territory, and there was no reason to go to other people's territory to eat and drink. Xue Hongqi saluted him Uncle Gao, but he was not a real uncle, just a title, he couldn't be serious, if he took the word Uncle Gao and thought that he would eat someone else, it would only smash his own feet.
Gao Yingxiang had no choice but to give up the family card, and said with a different face: "The daughter of the old Xue family, your Uncle Gao didn't want to go to Shaanxi this time, but didn't want to eat in Shaanxi, but came to take refuge...... Whoever chases 70,000 officers and soldiers behind his ass can't stand this crime. You will be treated as an emergency in the rivers and lakes, put your Uncle Gao in and hide for a few days, and when the officers and soldiers retreat, Uncle will leave by himself, and will never cause you trouble. ”
Even a fool wouldn't believe this, so why hide for a few days? If you really want to put it in, this territory will immediately have to change owners. Even an innocent little girl like Li Jieqiong who doesn't know the world understands this truth. She leaned on the wall and said loudly to Gao Yingxiang: "You lied, you deceived the blind man who had never seen the sun, and coaxed the fool to jump off the cliff...... Devils will believe your words. (To be continued.) )
