Chapter 170: Betrayal

Li Zicheng was panicked like a lost dog, under the escort of Tian Jianxiu, he fled from Hanzhong Mansion in a hurry, listening to the continuous sound of guns and cannons from Hanzhong City behind him, Li Zicheng fell into numbness.

It has been thirteen years since he was unveiled in Shaanxi in the second year of Chongzhen, how much he has suffered in the past thirteen years, how many sins he has suffered, and only he knows that when he first pulled the pole to rebel, he never thought that one day he would ascend to the world as an emperor, but with the expansion of his power, his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger.

finally saw that the Ming Dynasty was finally about to fall, but suddenly a Xiao Tianjian appeared, and he quickly rose among the rebels, so that the leaders of the old rebels could only look at him, and finally one by one either surrendered to the Ming Dynasty or died on the battlefield, and even people like Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai surrendered to Xiao Tianjian.

It was not easy for him to open up the situation in Shaanxi, but Xiao Tianjian had already swept the Central Plains, captured the city of Nanjing, and ascended the throne as the emperor of the Great Zhong Dynasty.

In the past, he Li Zicheng has been defeated repeatedly, but he has still recovered repeatedly, and it is not a problem for him to fight a defeated battle, as long as he stays alive, he can always make a comeback.

But today, Li Zicheng is completely confused, and he can no longer see where the way out in the future is.

Now the Great Middle Dynasty has almost seized the world, and there is almost no place left for him to maneuver, and the common people have been in chaos for a long time, and the Great Middle Dynasty has continued to abolish all kinds of malpractices left over by the Ming Dynasty, and returned the land to the people to help the victims, so that more and more people have returned to the Great Middle Kingdom.

On the other hand, in the past two years, he has been in Shaanxi because he is eager to expand his military strength to confront the Great China and North Korea, and the result is that instead of managing the controlled territory, he has made Shaanxi a chicken and dog restless, and the people and gods are angry, and his Dashun Dynasty is even more hated by the people of Shaanxi, and he Li Zicheng no longer has the kind of reputation he had back then, but on the contrary, he has become the person pointed by thousands of people.

In this case, he doesn't know what to do next, he knows very well that the reason why he can continue to make a comeback a few years ago is that the most important reason is the people's desire, the people were suffering from the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, and they are willing to follow him in order to survive, but now he has already lost the hearts of the people, is it possible for him to make a comeback?

Li Zicheng fled all the way to Ningqiang Prefecture under the escort of everyone in a trance, and the team of more than 3,000 people stretched out for a long time, and in just one day, among the more than 3,000 people, more than 1,000 people fled the team halfway, turned around and disappeared into the woods on the side of the road.

But Li Zicheng was not in the mood to care about these fugitives, but Tian Jianxiu was very angry about this, and sent some of Li Zicheng's guards out again and again to hunt down and kill those fugitives, the reason is very simple, these guards are all hardcore supporters of Li Zicheng, all of them are veterans who have followed Li Zicheng for many years, and if they send others to chase and kill the fugitives, God knows if the people sent out will come back, so they can only let these Li Zicheng's so-called "dragon guards" do this kind of thing.

Li Zicheng was in a very bad mood, and his brain could be said to be chaotic along the way, so he could only let Tian Jianxiu manage the team, but he didn't notice that when he left Hanzhong Mansion, the five hundred dragon guards he brought with him were constantly sent out by Tian Jianxiu for various reasons along the way, and by the evening, the group was already sleepy and tired.

They had almost no time to eat along the way, and because of the lack of food, coupled with the panic of their escape, Li Zicheng was busy asking people to bring more gold and silver, but when they fled out of the city, they basically didn't carry much food, and now after a day of running, everyone is already hungry.

So Tian Jianxiu ordered to go into the woods to rest on the spot, and sent the remaining few dragon guards out to the back to find out whether the Dazhong army was chasing after him, and at this time there were only more than 20 dragon guards left by Li Zicheng's side.

Li Zicheng took the water bladder handed over by the guard, poured a few mouthfuls, and then sat down on a tree stump, raised his hand to beckon Tian Jianxiu over, and asked Tian Jianxiu: "Yu\\ Peak, what kind of place is this?" How far is it from Ningqiang Prefecture? Ningqiang Prefecture is still under our control? ”

Tian Jianxiu looked around, smiled dryly and replied: "If you go back to the Holy Lord, I don't know what kind of place Weichen is, but there are still sixty or seventy miles away from Ningqiang Prefecture, and I should be able to rush to Ningqiang Prefecture tomorrow!"

Ningqiang Prefecture is still under our control, the guard is called Liu Qiang, where are there still 2,000 men and horses, and the forest is big over there, even if the big army catches up, as long as the saint escapes into the forest, the big army will not dare to enter the forest to chase and kill us easily, please rest assured!

At the end of this day, the saint must be tired, and the saint is still resting and resting, and Weichen will let people bury the pot and cook! ”

Li Zicheng immediately shook his head and said, "Don't make a fire, let's talk about it after dark!" Now once there is a fire and smoke in the forest, it is easy to be discovered from afar, and I am not too hungry, so I can just eat some dry food!

You said that Ningqiang Prefecture is still in our hands, but I'm afraid that Ningqiang Prefecture is not a place to stay for a long time, Jade \\ Peak! You've been following me for the longest time, and from what you've seen, where should I go next? ”

"The world is so big, how can there be no place for us, although Xiao Thief is now powerful, but he can still take the whole world into his pocket so quickly? The saint doesn't have to worry, although Ningqiang Prefecture is not enough to defend, but it is said that the Dazhong Army in Longnan has not yet arrived, we can go to Ningqiang Prefecture first, collect some lost generals, and then go to the Longnan area, I expect that the Dazhong Army will not be able to catch up with us! Don't worry about it! Tian Jianxiu continued to comfort Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng thought about it after hearing this, and that was the only way, now because of the fast pace of the Dazhong Army, he can no longer grasp the development of the surrounding situation, and he can only take one step at a time, so he watched Tian Jianxiu diligently arrange the sentry post, Li Zicheng felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he asked someone to lay a deer skin for him under a big tree, ate some dry food casually, and leaned on the tree and fell asleep.

It was getting late, and more than two dozen dragon guards surrounded Li Zicheng's surroundings, pressing the hilt of the knife with their hands, looking around vigilantly.

At this time, a Long Wei saw Tian Jianxiu coming over with some people, so he immediately bowed down and said, "General Tian has worked hard!" It's so late, why hasn't General Tian rested yet? We have to rush tomorrow, General Tian doesn't have to work too hard! ”

Tian Jianxiu smiled and said, "It's nothing!" Now the situation is not good, Yu hard work is also deserved, but you dragon guards, are also tired, when you come out, Yu brought some wine, to relieve the fatigue of the brothers, there is not much wine, let's share some drink! ”

Hearing that there is wine, these dragon guards are also excited, quickly practice and thank them, take the wine bag handed to them by Tian Jianxiu, after a tiring day, it is also a good thing to be able to drink a few sips of wine to relieve fatigue, and now they are miserable, people's hearts are very uneasy, and the future is bleak, so these dragon guards are also very depressed, so after taking the wine, these dragon guards will drink it quickly one sip and one sip of me.

Tian Jianxiu smiled and watched these dragon guards finish the wine, and then silently calculated the time, suddenly he laughed wickedly, and whispered: "It's okay!" ”

As his words came out, these dragon guards suddenly covered their stomachs one by one, bent down in pain, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and someone immediately realized what the problem was, so they immediately pointed to Tian Jianxiu and asked, "General Tian, this wine ...... There is a poisonous ...... in the wine."

Tian Jianxiu laughed: "Not bad! Wine is indeed poisonous! Tian didn't want to see you continue to work so hard, so I'll send you on the road first! ”

After hearing this, the dragon guards were immediately furious, and someone tried to pull out a knife to kill Tian Jianxiu, but the poison in the stomach had already attacked, and they couldn't straighten up at all because of the pain, and these people covered their stomachs one by one and fell to the ground, and scolded Tian Jianxiu one after another.

Tian Jianxiu's face immediately sank, and he waved his hand and said, "Let them shut up!" Kill them all! ”

After hearing Tian Jianxiu's words, they pulled out their waist knives without saying a word, and went up to chop all the twenty dragon guards to the ground, and in a moment's effort, they cleaned up all these guards of Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng slept very unsteadily, always dreamed that someone was carrying a knife to cut at him, suddenly he was a spirit, was awakened from the dream, after opening his eyes, he saw Tian Jianxiu standing in front of him, after sniffing it, as a battlefield background, he immediately smelled a strong smell of blood in the air, so he immediately pressed the sword in his hand and asked Tian Jianxiu: "Jade \\ Peak?" Why are you still here? What's wrong? Why is there such a heavy bloody gas? ”

Tian Jianxiu sneered and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I killed a few people!" Can the Holy One sleep peacefully? ”

Li Zicheng immediately sensed Tian Jianxiu's abnormality, and after looking around, he immediately found that there was no familiar face around, and none of his guards were missing at this time, this situation was very abnormal, so he immediately sat up, reached out and took the sword that had followed him for many years on the ground, and asked Tian Jianxiu: "Yu\\Feng, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?" What about my guards? Why is it all gone? ”

Tian Jianxiu replied with a mocking face: "The Holy Lord asked you those dragon guards!" I guess they're all dead at this point! If you're lucky, those who left during the day probably have a chance to escape, but now those who are left behind are already dead! Hum! ”

Li Zicheng finally understood what Tian Jianxiu wanted to do, so he stood up and shouted angrily: "Tian Jianxiu, what do you want?" Isn't it possible that you want to do the opposite? ”

Tian Jianxiu suddenly laughed, pointed at Li Zicheng and smiled: "Anti? You Li Zicheng to this day, is it still worth reversing? ”

Li Zicheng looked around and saw those people surrounding him, all staring at him with sneers on their faces, so he immediately pulled out his sword, pointed at Tian Jianxiu and scolded: "Tian Jianxiu, you and I have made trouble together, thinking that I have always been kind to you, why do you want to oppose me?" And you people, do you know who I am? I am the Emperor of Dashun, and if you rebel with him, it will be a capital crime to be beheaded! ”

After Tian Jianxiu heard this, his face sank and he shouted: "Li Hongji! Do you still think you are some kind of bullshit emperor? It's ridiculous that you don't measure yourself, just with your ability, you also want to be called the emperor, I'm bah!

You're treating me well? You can say that! I think I'm loyal to you before Tian Jianxiu, and I followed you from birth to death for more than ten years, for you, Lao Tzu killed his wife and children, just to follow you to achieve a great cause, but what about you? And how do you treat me?

You ascended the throne and became the emperor, and all the boys who followed you became generals, but they guarded me everywhere, ignored me, and squeezed me everywhere! Do you dare to say that you are not thin on me?

Whenever you need me, you think of me, and when you don't need me, you throw me aside! I, Tian, am not your Li Hongji's dog, I am also a human!

It's okay if you don't do what you can, now that you have already returned to the saint of today's Dazhong Dynasty, the people have been suffering for decades, and they have long wanted to live a good life in peace, but you want to go against the saint, and you still dream that you can one day rule the world! The result is that the people are miserable! For your own selfishness, you have long forgotten why you rose up in the first place, your subordinates, expropriating the people and ignoring the life and death of the people, and now what are you doing with the big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival, and what do you want to become the king of a country!

Hum! Phew! You deserve it too!

Li Hongji, it's time for you to wake up! Now is no longer the time for the Ming Dynasty to sit in the world, since you are so self-conscious, how many people do you expect to die for you? I think you'd better be caught quickly! As for how to send you down, I have the decision of the saint today, and I will not kill you in the face of the relationship between you and me who have worked together for many years! ”

After Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately angry, and his fingers cracked, and he scolded angrily: "Tian Jianxiu, what a thief!" I, Li Zicheng, swear not to be a man if I don't kill you today! And you people, as long as you take this thief for me, I will reward each of you with two hundred taels of silver! Kill him for me! ”

"Save it, Li Hongji, who are you? Let's be honest! They are not the generals of your Dashun Army, they are all people from the Dazhong Army, you expect them to kill me for you, or save it! Tian Jianxiu sneered.

And those who came with Tian Jianxiu also showed a sarcastic smile, and began to surround Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was really angry, seeing that there were no more people around him, but he didn't want to be caught just like that, so he asked Tian Jianxiu to take him and hand him over to Xiao Tianjian for insult, so he gritted his teeth violently, and suddenly his body burst out, so he swung his sword and pounced on Tian Jianxiu, wanting to die with Tian Jianxiu.

Li Zicheng was born in Rongma for more than ten years, and practiced martial arts all year round in his early years, this kung fu is also quite good, and suddenly the speed of the explosion is terrifying, and he pounced on Tian Jianxiu in the blink of an eye, and the sword in his hand flashed coldly, and stabbed Tian Jianxiu's chest.

But Tian Jianxiu is not born in soft rice, and he has also followed Li Zicheng for more than ten years, and his kung fu at hand is also quite solid, as soon as he saw Li Zicheng burst out, he immediately pulled out his knife and dodged sideways, Li Zicheng pounced in front of him, he opened Li Zicheng's sword with a knife, and made a few deals with Li Zicheng in the blink of an eye, so that Li Zicheng had no chance to take his life.

Li Zicheng was like he had lost his mind, and chased Tian Jianxiu frantically and slashed, wanting to kill Tian Jianxiu, but suddenly a big rope net fell and covered Li Zicheng in the rope net.

Li Zicheng was covered by the rope net, and he could no longer show his ability, he tried to cut the rope net with a sword and drill out, but the more he struggled, the tighter the rope net was entangled, and in the blink of an eye, Li Zicheng fell to the ground like a rolling gourd, and was tied in the rope net like a zongzi.

Someone immediately went up, stepped on Li Zicheng's sword, snatched his sword away, dragged Li Zicheng out of the rope net, and then tied a knot with a rope and threw it at Tian Jianxiu's feet.

Tian Jianxiu squatted down, looked at Li Zicheng who was struggling like a trapped beast, and said to him: "Li Hongji, you don't have to struggle anymore, you have today, no wonder I have anything, the fault is that you want to be the enemy of today's saint, and now you will end up like this!" ”

Li Zicheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he spat at Tian Jianxiu, and after Tian Jianxiu slowly wiped off the spit on his face, he stood up and waved his hand: "Take him back to Hanzhong!" ”
