As soon as he came to the outside of the camp tent, Ge Liyan pulled Yuan Zongdi to a remote place, a little away from the soldiers standing guard, and couldn't wait to ask in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, why didn't you let me say it just now?" Looking at General Li Chuang's meaning, as long as we understand it with reason, move it with affection, and persuade him again, we will definitely be able to make him agree to send troops to rescue our leader. ”

However, Yuan Zongdi shook his head again and again, and his words were very helpless.

"Brother He, why are you so confused? Don't you see that? Whether it is General Li Chuang, or his subordinates, they are very resistant to our leader. If it weren't for that relationship, we both belonged to the 36th Battalion Rebel Army, maybe the two of us would have been driven out by others. ”

In an instant, He Yilong's expression of persistence froze, and he was a little discouraged: "Brother Yuan, why didn't I see it?" From beginning to end, they are all one king at a time, seemingly respectful, but in fact they are distant, and they have great opinions about the leader. However, it can't be said that the leader was blocked in Zezhou by the official army. If there were no reinforcements, the high leaders would not be able to hold out for long at all. ”

Despite the existence of Neiying, Yuan Zongdi was more or less admired, moved by Ge Li Yan's actions, patted Ge Li Yan's shoulder to show comfort, and sighed: "Brother He, you have to understand, it's too much. ”

He Yilong was stunned for a moment, didn't understand, and looked at Yuan Zongdi suspiciously, waiting for the other party's explanation.

"Brother He, you should know that the relationship between King Chuang and Li Zicheng is not good, it can be said that it is a very bad kind. Although we are willing to send troops, we can't keep up too closely. Otherwise, once Li Chuangjiang is pressed, it will only backfire, and things will not be beautiful. ”

He Yilong nodded lightly as if he had realized something, and did not refute anything, but instead asked, "Then, what should we do next?" ”

"One word, wait..."

After Yuan Zongdi spoke, he didn't pay attention to He Yilong anymore, and walked to the front outside the tent, thinking secretly in his heart: "I don't know if what Captain Tian said is true?" With the temper of the boss, Gao Yingxiang treated him like that, and ignored his sister-in-law Gao Guiying, and let Zhang Xianzhong entangle, how could the boss send troops? ”

At the same time, inside the tent, Li Zicheng stood opposite everyone, his expression was unwavering, and he asked lightly: "Brothers, what are your opinions on the soldiers going out of Shanxi and rescuing King Chuang?" ”

There is no doubt that Gao Yigong was the first to stand up against it. Almost as soon as Li Zicheng's words fell, he immediately expressed his attitude, looking angry.

"Boss, I don't agree. Although Gao Yingxiang is our mother-in-law and uncle. However, he was too fucked up and didn't take much care of my sister and me. After you came, he also suppressed Li Jiajun in many ways and hindered all your actions. ”

"Now that he's in trouble, no one else wants to rescue him, but he thinks of us. It is too beautiful to want us to send troops to rescue them. How many brothers died because of Gao Yingxiang's targeting, and Gao Yingxiang, a ruthless old fox, can't be cheap. ”

Between speaking, Gao Yigong's face was full of resentment, as if he wanted to eat Gao Yingxiang alive.

"And, Boss, don't forget, we don't have any extra troops to send out right now. Either besiege Huaiqing City here and attract the attention of the imperial court; Either in Wuzhi City, help Mr. Xu and them transport supplies and cross the Yellow River; There is still a third of the troops on the other side of the Yellow River, ready to take Guangwu Mountain, how can there be too many troops to rescue that King Chuang? ”

Regarding Gao Yigong's previous words, everyone can still laugh at it, let him complain, and vent. However, the last words were immediately recognized and resonated by some people, and Liu Tichun was one of them.

"yes, Boss. Even if we have the heart to rescue King Chuang, we don't have so much energy and troops. If we had drawn some men from one of the three, our previous efforts would have been in vain, and the plan would have to be put on hold and the crossing of the Yellow River would have to be stopped. ”

"Boss, brothers, please listen to me."

Tian Jianxiu stood up, paused for a moment, looked at everyone one by one, and finally stayed on Li Zicheng's body, and after getting the other party's nod, he continued: "The reason why I came here this time is mainly for two purposes, one is to report to the boss about something, the matter of Wuzhicheng has been done, and late at night tonight, all the materials can be transported to the other side of the Yellow River." ”

"The last purpose is to hope that when it gets dark, the boss can immediately withdraw his troops and go to the Yellow River wharf in Wuzhi County, and cross the Yellow River in the second half of the night, and all the soldiers and horses of the Li family army will go to the other side of the Yellow River, that is, the territory of Xingyang, Kaifeng Prefecture."

As soon as Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly added another sentence.

"By the way, there are also Captain Wu and Captain Liu, whose actions have quietly taken Guangwu Mountain, just waiting for the army to cross the Yellow River and go to meet them."

"Captain Tian, what you said is true? Wu Ruyi and Liu Fangliang have already taken Guangwu Mountain, just waiting for us to meet them? Gao Yigong couldn't help but interject and asked, a little carried away excitedly, as if he had forgotten about Gao Yingxiang's request for help.

At the same time, as if asking the same heart, everyone's eyes were on Tian Jianxiu, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Of course it's true! How could I possibly joke about such a thing? Tian Jianxiu replied categorically, nodding heavily.

"So what are you waiting for?!" Gao Yigong exclaimed, turned to look at Li Zicheng, and said excitedly: "Boss, you give an order, let the brothers get ready, and when it gets dark, go to the Yellow River ferry and go to Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"Yes, Boss, give the order quickly! We've been around outside Huaiqing City for so long, aren't we waiting for this day? Others chimed in.

At this time, listening to everyone's invitation, Li Zicheng just nodded his head slightly, smiled slightly, and did not give everyone a positive answer, but turned his head to look at Tian Jianxiu, and suddenly asked: "Captain Tian, what do you think about King Chuang's request for help?" Should we send troops to help them? ”

At this moment, although everyone was frightened and couldn't understand why the boss suddenly said that Gao Yingxiang was asking for help, they still reacted immediately, and frequently gave Tian Jianxiu a look, hoping that the other party would oppose it.

Especially Gao Yigong, his expression was too obvious, his eyes widened, and it was a warning, a threat, and a hint of a request. As if to say, Tian Jianxiu, if you kid dares to speak for Gao Yingxiang's ruthless and unrighteous old fox. Otherwise, don't say that your brother doesn't have to do it, be careful in the future, I'll find your stubble every day and give you small shoes to wear,

However, Tian Jianxiu ignored everyone's gaze, as if he didn't see it, muttered slightly, and then said slowly: "Boss, aside from your relationship with King Chuang, your subordinates once remembered that you said that you couldn't watch other rebel armies being surrounded and suppressed by the official army one by one. Otherwise, it will only do us more harm than good, and it is not conducive to our development. ”

"Of course, it is indeed an exaggeration to say that there is both glory and loss. One thing is undeniable, once the imperial court exterminated the rebel armies in Shanxi, don't look at the weakness of the imperial court's defense in Kaifeng Mansion, the hinterland of Henan. However, as long as Wang Ziyong and others are cleaned up and the rebellion in Shanxi is completely quelled, the officials and troops will be able to turn around and still deal with us. At all times, the pressure we face will multiply. ”

Although the words are exhaustive, but the meaning is endless, it is not difficult to see from this that Tian Jianxiu is very smart, his answers are very skillful, and the two parties are not offended, purely putting all kinds of possible situations in the future on the table. Moreover, a large part of it is still the point of view that Li Zicheng has always emphasized, and Li Jiajun cannot be isolated.
