Tian Jianxiu was ordered to rush to Beijing this time, in fact, he was reluctant, as early as when Li Zicheng was proclaimed emperor, Tian Jianxiu knew that Li Zicheng did this, which would inevitably lead to a confrontation with Xiao Tianjian, but he could not dissuade him.

And Tian Jianxiu's life in the past two years has been very unpleasant, originally he was the earliest old man who followed Li Zicheng, and he has always been the most important person under Li Zicheng, but in the past two years, for some reason, Tian Jianxiu obviously felt that Li Zicheng no longer trusted him as much as before, and like Liu Zongmin and others, they also began to deliberately exclude him, making him very unsatisfactory under Li Zicheng, and he was controlled by others everywhere, and it depended on the faces of Liu Zongmin and others.

Even Hao Shaoqi, who was far later than him to follow Li Zicheng, is now in the Dashun Army, and his status is much higher than him, like Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi and others, who are now all generals, but he is still just a partial general, even Li Shuangxi's status surpasses him, Li Zicheng also seems to be a little evasive of him, and many things are no longer discussed with him, which is equivalent to putting him in the air, just letting him take care of some unimportant trivial matters.

For this reason, Tian Jianxiu also tried to talk to Li Zicheng and ask Li Zicheng what he was, but later he explained the reason for it, which made Tian Jianxiu immediately disappointed in Li Zicheng, and he didn't bother to ask Li Zicheng to say anything more during this time.

In fact, the reason why Tian Jianxiu was tabooed by Li Zicheng and was excluded by others is very simple, that is, the relationship between Tian Jianxiu and Xiao Tianjian.

From the earliest time in Longzhou, Tian Jianxiu and Xiao Tianjian had a good relationship, and later when Li Zicheng repeatedly asked Xiao Tianjian, he sent Tian Jianxiu out, Xiao Tianjian treated him with courtesy, and responded to his requests, so Li Zicheng began to suspect that there was some inexplicable relationship between Tian Jianxiu and Xiao Tianjian, so he gradually alienated Tian Jianxiu, especially after the rise of Xiao Tianjian in the past two years, but Li Zicheng was quite unsatisfactory, and Li Zicheng did not dare to trust Tian Jianxiu anymore. So much so that others also began to alienate Tian Jianxiu, and deliberately excluded Tian Jianxiu.

Fortunately, Tian Jianxiu is an old qualification in Li Zicheng's army, and he is kind and kind, and he has some popularity, so he was not completely squeezed out, but it also made Tian Jianxiu gradually lose power under Li Zicheng and became an insignificant person.

This made Tian Jianxiu quite dissatisfied, but Tian Jianxiu was also a very forbearant person, after understanding the source of the problem, he did not show his dissatisfaction with Li Zicheng, but simply ignored it and deliberately took the edge, so that although Li Zicheng no longer trusted Tian Jianxiu, he didn't do anything to Tian Jianxiu, just put him in an inconsequential place and didn't care about him anymore.

But in Tian Jianxiu's heart, he was already dissatisfied with Li Zicheng and silently waited for the opportunity.

Now Li Zicheng is seeing that his bullshit Dashun Army is not the opponent of the Dazhong Army at all, and after Xiao Tianjian freed his hand, he has fallen into an embattled situation, so he finally began to succumb and wanted Tian Jianxiu to act as an intermediary to find Xiao Tianjian to find a future way out for Li Zicheng and his Dashun Army.

Tian Jianxiu was remembered by Li Zicheng again at this time, and promoted him to General Zuo, and sent him to Beijing to negotiate with Xiao Tianjian.

It was under such circumstances that Tian Jianxiu left Xi'an Mansion, which was now renamed Daxing City by Li Zicheng, with dozens of retinues and 200,000 taels of silver, and along the way, he first arrived in Yanzhou, which is now controlled by the Dazhong Army, where he met Li Zicheng's enemy Gao Jie.

Now Gao Jie has become a member of the first town army after taking refuge in the Great Middle Kingdom, although nominally a battalion general, but the real power is not small, after the main force went north, the three thousand officers and troops under his command were reorganized by the Great Chinese Army, the old and weak were reorganized, and the new recruits were supplemented and accepted by the Great Chinese Army to enrich him with three hundred middle and low-level officers, he already had three battalions under his command, mainly responsible for guarding Dunzhou, preventing Li Zicheng's Dashun Army from attacking Yan'an Mansion controlled by the Great Chinese Army to the north, Recently, he has fought with Li Zicheng's small group of Dashun army many times, and it has won many battles, so that although Li Zicheng hates Gao Jie, he does not dare to use troops against Yanzhou and Heyang County, so that Gao Jie and the soldiers and horses of the Dazhong army stationed in Tongguan echo each other, and they control Li Zicheng's development to the northeast, and temporarily form a confrontation with the Dashun army.

Tian Jianxiu wanted to rush to Beijing City, so he chose to go to Shanxi from Hancheng in Juzhou, and then enter Beijing from Taiyuan and Xuanda to Juyongguan, meet Xiao Tianjian, and meet Gao Jie in Tian Jianxiu in Yanzhou.

The two of them were very embarrassed after meeting, after all, Gao Jie was also Li Zicheng's subordinate at the beginning, and Tian Jianxiu was also an acquaintance, and the relationship between the two was quite good before, but later Gao Jie kidnapped Li Zicheng's little wife Xing and took refuge in He Renlong, and then completely broke with Li Zicheng.

And Tian Jianxiu, as Li Zicheng's subordinate, has fought with Gao Jie many times over the years, it can be said that they have their own victories and defeats, but today the two meet is not to meet each other, Gao Jie heard that Tian Jianxiu came to see him, so after asking clearly, he led someone to connect Tian Jianxiu to the camp, according to the regulations of the Dazhong Army, the people of the Dazhong Army are not allowed to live in the city and disturb the people unless they have special circumstances, so Gao Jie after taking refuge in the Dazhong Army, he also did everything in accordance with the rules of the Dazhong Army, and led the troops to be stationed outside the city of Dunzhou.

Although the two were embarrassed after seeing each other, Tian Jianxiu still understood his intentions, and after Gao Jie hosted a banquet to entertain Tian Jianxiu, he immediately arranged for his subordinates to escort Tian Jianxiu to Hancheng and rush to Beijing by boat.

After some hurrying, Tian Jianxiu finally came to Jingshi in mid-August half a month later, and asked someone to inform Xiao Tianjian and ask to see Xiao Tianjian.

When Xiao Tianjian learned the news that Tian Jianxiu, an old friend, was visiting again, he immediately recruited Li Xin into the Wuying Palace, where he temporarily handled government affairs, and said to Li Xin with a smile: "Li Xin, today I heard that Tian Jianxiu, who is under Li Zicheng, suddenly rushed here from Xi'an Mansion thousands of miles away, and asked to meet Yu Xin!"

As far as you can see, what does it mean that Li Zicheng sent this Heavenly Harrier (Tian Jianxiu's nickname) to see me this time? ”

Li Xin immediately laughed after hearing this, and bowed to Xiao Tianjian with his fists in his hands and replied: "Qiqi Sheng, this Li Zicheng sent Tian Jianxiu to face the saint, what else can he do?" Li Zicheng must have learned the news that the Holy Lord led the army to win a great victory in Shanhaiguan and took the Ming Jingshi lightly, so he is already panicked, so he sent Tian Jianxiu to face the Sheng, I am afraid that there is only one thing, that is, to find a way out for the rest of his life! ”

Xiao Tianjian laughed and said: "This Li Zicheng is not a fool, seeing that I have pacified the north and repelled the Jiannu army, the next step is to free up my hands to clean him up, without waiting for me to make the first move, he Li Zicheng sent an envoy first!" Hehe! Where in the world is there such a cheap thing?

So in your guess, what conditions can Li Zicheng offer for sending Tian Jianxiu to see me this time? ”

Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid Weichen can't guess, Li Zicheng is a very ambitious person, from the saint to the throne and the country, he will follow the saint, and also in the matter of Shaanxi emperor, it can be seen that this person is ambitious, so Weichen thinks that even if this person is soft, I am afraid that he will not surrender to our dynasty easily!" Therefore, the Holy One might as well listen to the conditions of this thief first, and then make another decision! ”

After Xiao Tianjian thought about it, he nodded and said, "Then let's listen to what the thief wants to pay first!" Come on, pass the decree down, and let Tian Jianxiu enter the palace to see me! ”

Although the two countries are now in a state of hostility between Dashun and Dazhong, Tian Jianxiu, as an envoy of Dashun, was not too neglected by the Dazhong army after entering Beijing, but someone was specifically responsible for taking care of him and his entourage.

And Tian Jianxiu looked up at the splendid Forbidden City, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart, and said in his heart that Li Zicheng was really beyond his strength, and he had always wanted to be the enemy of Xiao Tianjian, this Forbidden City was compared with the place where Li Zicheng lived, Li Zicheng's so-called palace was like a dog kennel, too childish, just from the psychological point of view, Tian Jianxiu had already had an idea of wanting to bow to Xiao Tianjian.

Tian Jianxiu actually admired Xiao Tianjian very much in his heart, when Xiao Tianjian started, but there were only more than 1,000 people, with the prestige and strength of Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang at that time, Xiao Tianjian was really nothing, whether it was Li Zicheng or Gao Yingxiang, they all looked down on Xiao Tianjian, although Xiao Tianjian did not have many people and horses, and he also showed considerable combat power, but Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang thought most about wanting to annex him.

However, Xiao Tianjian quickly rose among the rebels in just a few years, first controlling the southern regions of Jin, and then swinging Henan, and suddenly jumped to the top of the strength of the rebels.

But look at Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng again, Gao Yingxiang was defeated and died, Li Zicheng and the others were also chased and killed by the government and became lost dogs, if it weren't for Xiao Tianjian's secret support, they would have died in Shangluo Mountain a long time ago, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Tianjian is about to achieve a great cause, but Li Zicheng blinded his mind with lard, and he had to go against Xiao Tianjian.

Can Xiao Tianjian still give him Tian Jianxiu face this time? Tian Jianxiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, who is Xiao Tianjian now? He is the emperor of the Great Middle Dynasty! Speaking of which, Li Zicheng is also called the emperor, but compared with Xiao Tianjian, Li Zicheng, the so-called emperor, is not even qualified to lift shoes for Xiao Tianjian, and he is still thinking about it......

"There is a decree in the saint, declare the thief rebel army to make the minister Tian see Xiu!" Just when Tian Jianxiu was standing outside the Xihua Gate and was full of emotions, suddenly a guard shouted loudly at the palace gate.

Tian Jianxiu heard this Xiao Tianjian's Yu Linwei call them Dashun a thief rebel, and smiled bitterly, the same as the Dazhong Dynasty called them, now the people in Xi'an Mansion open their mouths and close their mouths, calling Dazhong Chao also a thief, but no matter how you listen to it, they are more confident in Dazhongchao, and they Dashun can only be called thieves when compared with Dazhong!

But as long as Xiao Tianjian is willing to see him, at least Xiao Tianjian didn't let him report to the door to enter is already a face, Tian Jianxiu didn't think about it at all, let Xiao Tianjian go out to greet him as before, so he immediately checked the clothes on his whole body, and then Tian Jianxiu stepped to prepare to enter the palace.

But before he entered the palace gate, he was blocked by the Yu Linwei at the door, a few Yu Linwei didn't say a word, and came up and searched Tian Jianxiu up and down carefully, until he didn't find a sharp weapon such as a short blade, then let Tian Jianxiu enter the palace, and Yu Linwei specially led the way for him, and walked towards Wuying Palace.
