Chapter 191 How can the mountains and rivers be stable? 9
This most difficult battle was won.
Li Zicheng once again looked at Xiao Hao with new eyes, patted his shoulders warmly, asked him about his well-being, and praised him endlessly. The Tiance Army accepted the welcome of the Crane Army with envy and respect.
No matter what Li Zicheng thought in his heart, in this Crane Army, most of whom were ordinary people, Xiao Hao and his men, risked the danger of going there and never coming back, and forcibly opened a way out for them.
Fearless and fearless, they saved the situation, and it was this loyal army that supported the backbone of the army.
"Two thousand are enough to establish the soul of the army", this sentence was deeply engraved in Li Yan's heart and could never be erased.
Li Zicheng laughed and praised generously: "They all say that the Tianxiong Army is the second best division in the world. I think it is just like that! Brother Xiao's cavalry is not inferior to them at all!"
Xiao Hao knew his own limitations. They were able to fight the Tianxiong Army head-on this time without losing the upper hand. Most of the reason was because of the system. In terms of the ability to respond calmly and the restraint of the army, the Tianxiong Army deserves the title of the second best in the world.
The average level of the Tiance was only 40, while the Tianxiong Army was 55. If Xiao Hao had not restrained their crossbows, and Shi Zhixuan was the master of the army, the Tiance would have suffered more than 280 casualties.
But this did not prevent him from being proud of Tian Ce. After this battle, Tian Ce was united in suffering and hatred, and became stronger than before.
Li Zicheng said to Xiao Hao with a half-smile: "Now everyone in the world calls you the best general in the world. When the enemy hears your name, they throw down their armor and weapons and become defeated. I have never given a name to the four elite battalions under you, and I am really ashamed."
Xiao Hao heard that he treated Tian Ce as his own troops, so he glanced at him coldly and said: "The army I lead is named 'Tian Ce'."
Li Zicheng knew that he still had not submitted to him, and said calmly: "Brother Xiao has his own way of commanding the army, and I am not as good as you. After all, we are like-minded people. Why don't you be crowned king and prime minister together with me?"
Who the hell is like-minded with you.
Xiao Hao smiled with a sense of distance but politeness: "Now that the government army has been defeated, the rebel army is greatly encouraged and in high spirits. They have advanced all the way into Guanzhong and directly captured Tongguan. The Ming Dynasty is doomed and has no power to resist. I have relied on the favor of Prince Yan for so long, but if I keep relying on your prestige, it may cause misunderstanding. I plan to stay in Luoyang for the time being, and perhaps I will travel to the south of the Yangtze River in the future. I am afraid that I will have to part ways with Prince Yan."
Xiao Hao turned a blind eye to the fact that Li Zicheng used the reputation of Tiance to recruit subordinates, but it did not mean that he did not know. But Tian Ce was able to be established so quickly because of its reputation as a follower of Prince Chi. Xiao Hao helped Li Zicheng win many tough battles, and he had almost repaid his debts. He did not want people to think that Tian Ce was a soldier under Prince Chi.
The government army lost more than 40,000 people this time, and the elite troops were almost completely destroyed. No one in the world could stop Li Zicheng from entering Beijing. Xiao Hao knew that they would soon kill their way into the capital, and then all his great undertakings would be destroyed by Li Zicheng's inflated heart.
He needed to prepare his own power as soon as possible. Tian Ce was an army, and the army served the king. What he needed was not to obey anyone, but a world where he could display his power freely.
Li Zicheng's eyes turned colder, and he said with concern: "General Zhi and Brother Xiao are as close as brothers. Have you told him about this?"
Li Yan and Hongniang were of the same mind, so they certainly knew about this. Xiao Hao heard the implication of Li Zicheng and smiled faintly: "How can I bear to see Brother Li and his wife missing each other in a foreign land?" That's right, I came to rob people from the beginning.
Li Zicheng's face became even uglier, and He Xi's face was also a little unbearable. He simply used a delaying tactic and said to Xiao Hao: "I really can't bear to say goodbye to you. The soldiers are unstoppable and will soon break the capital. By then, it will be the time for success and fame. Brother Xiao, please consider it carefully. At this critical moment, don't give up all the previous efforts."
Xiao Hao responded casually and left the tent.
In the battle of Jiacheng in Ruzhou, Tiance became famous.
In such a life-or-death situation, Tiance not only did not lose all its troops, but also hunted down more than 70 elite soldiers of Sun Chuanting, and destroyed tens of thousands of enemies with only 2,000 soldiers. It can be said that it is a tiger and wolf army!
As the leader of Tiance, Xiao Hao is even more famous for his bravery and loyalty. In order to help the people under the command of King Zha, Tiance resolutely entered the dangerous situation without fear of life and death, which attracted countless heroes to praise.
[Ding! The morale of the heroes is fighting like a bull, shocking all directions, and establishing the soul of Tiance Army with loyalty and righteousness, and the status is +2000. ]

Li Yan wanted to join Tian Ce, but he and Hong Niangzi went to join King Yan at first. Although it is said that good birds choose trees to roost in, when it comes to loyalty to the emperor, how can one be fickle? Hong Niangzi
's soldiers were not valued, and King Yan did not care about joining Tian Ce. He was highly valued by King Yan, and joining Tian Ce was tantamount to betrayal. Li Yan could not get over the moral barrier in his heart, and struggled for a while.
He knew very well that it was he who developed King Yan's power into what it is today. If he had not suggested that King Yan win the hearts of the people, King Yan would still be a bandit no different from other righteous armies.
This army, which he named as benevolent and righteous, won the trust of countless people, but he was unworthy of this trust.
His heart was already in Tiance, but out of responsibility, he could not leave the Yan army alone.
Li Yan knew that if he was not there, this group of ferocious wolves would reveal their true nature and rob and eat up the people who trusted them.
Xiao Hao stayed in the Luoyang camp these days, and naturally met Li Yan many times. Knowing that he had a knot in his heart, he invited him to drink in the name of celebrating his success.
Li Yan naturally had no choice but to go.
Recently, a young hero came down from Huashan. He was a disciple of the magic sword fairy ape Mu Renqing. He was a descendant of a loyal and brave general. He was the son of Yuan Chonghuan, the commander-in-chief who was unjustly killed by Emperor Chongzhen. His name was Yuan Chengzhi. Li Yan received him well on the order of King Yan and discussed the situation of the world with him. It was quite exciting. The two of them were of the same mind and called each other brothers.
Li Yan showed great respect for Tian Ce during the conversation, which made this proud son of heaven full of yearning and curiosity for Tian Ce. It happened that Xiao Hao invited Li Yan to drink, so he brought Yuan Chengzhi along.
Seeing that he brought one more person, Xiao Hao did not say much and treated him with great courtesy.
He also wanted to untie Li Yan's knot, so he did not care much about his behavior. He put a big iron pot on the fire, and boiled boiling liquor inside. The aroma of the liquor was full, which made people feel very happy.
It was the first time for Yuan Chengzhi to meet Xiao Hao. Before that, he had heard Li Yan talk about many deeds of the leader of Tian Ce. Now he saw that he was only slightly older than him, and he could not help but admire him.
"My humble aide Yuan Chengzhi, nice to meet General Xiao."
Xiao Hao turned his head, and Yuan Chengzhi saw the deep scar on his brow bone, and was slightly stunned.
But this scar did not make people feel scary, but added a bold and unruly temperament to him. Yuan Chengzhi had stayed in the mountains for ten years and had never had any life-and-death situations. Seeing this Tiance general walking out of the smoke, an indescribable spirit of a young knight was aroused.
Xiao Hao nodded and smiled at him, motioning them to sit down at will.
Lady Hong held a large bowl for them to put on the table, with a meteor rope around her waist. She smiled as she walked back and said, "I won't stop you from celebrating, but don't get drunk and go crazy if you drink too much!"
Seeing that she was so cheerful as a woman, Yuan Chengzhi admired the demeanor of Li Yan, Xiao Hao and others even more.
Xiao Hao scooped up a bowl of wine from the big pot, raised it high to the sky, and said to the two of them: "This bowl is for the 288 loyal souls of Tiance Mansion!"
He poured the hot wine in the bowl and poured it on the yellow soil under his feet, splashing a strong aroma of wine.
Li Yan and the other two did the same, but their expressions were also dignified.
Xiao Hao scooped up the second bowl and said with heroic spirit: "This bowl is for the majestic mountains and rivers. I would like to repay the nine states with my passion and wish for a peaceful and prosperous world!"
"Cheers!"
Xiao Hao raised the third bowl and suddenly smiled at Li Yan: "This bowl is for you. Thank you for chasing the enemy for 400 miles in anger and not abandoning our Tiance soldiers even when there was no news."
Li Yan looked ashamed and tilted his head and said: "I am unworthy of this wine."
Xiao Hao had already drunk the wine in the bowl and said proudly to him: "Since ancient times, heroes and bandits are nothing but false names for thousands of years, but a true heart cannot be covered by anything. Words can never express my feelings. I only hope that Li Yan can The noble spirit in my heart will last till I die."
Li Yan had too many things he couldn't do. He was drunk, frowned, and asked Xiao Hao with some frustration: "Brother Xiao, can you help me solve my doubts?"
Xiao Hao put down his wine bowl and said calmly: "Just tell me."
Li Yan struggled: "What is good? What is evil? What is right and wrong? Everyone says that King Qian is a benevolent and righteous teacher, and he is destined to be the king, but I..."
He didn't say anything else, Xiao Hao already understood what he meant.
Xiao Hao did not answer for the time being, but looked at Yuan Chengzhi first, "What do you think, Brother Yuan?"
Yuan Chengzhi was just a young man who had just started out and did not understand what they were saying, but he could still distinguish between good and evil, so he replied, "To be upright and impartial, and to speak and do things that are worthy of heaven and earth is righteousness; to do whatever you want and treat other people's lives as nothing is evil."
Xiao Hao saw that Yuan Chengzhi had little experience in the world and spoke without thinking, so he let him answer first. He took over the conversation and said to Li Yan, "Brother Li, you have the world in your eyes, can you see it clearly?"
Li Yan opened his mouth and fell into deep thought again.
Xiao Hao said, "Good and evil are only a thought away. In this chaotic world, everyone has a reason to live. Some people seek eternal achievements, some want to be remembered in history, some are willing to bear the blame, and some just want to have enough food and clothing. Choose according to your heart. What does right and wrong matter? Only when your mind is clear and at ease can you point your sword at the wind and defend the righteousness of heaven and earth."
Li Yan smiled bitterly, "Man is like duckweed without roots and cannot control himself."
Xiao Hao thought about it, and his sight met Yuan Chengzhi's clear eyes. Suddenly, he had an idea, "Maybe there is a way to have the best of both worlds."
Li Yan was stunned and immediately looked up at him.
Xiao Hao raised his wine bowl and invited them, "I want to recruit righteous people from all over the world to form a power alliance. It is neither a martial arts sect nor a local gang. It does not have any sectarian views and does not care about power disputes. It only seeks to swallow the mountains and rivers with its righteousness, open up blood roads, eliminate evil spirits, and roam the world. It will attract heroes from all directions and show their courage. Even if the mountains and rivers are stained with blood, it will exchange a vast world for the people. Now I invite you two to go with me. What do you think?"
Li Yan was so smart that he immediately understood Xiao Hao's intention. This alliance will be superior to all forces. Even if he holds two positions at that time, King Qian will not be able to stop him from joining it. Instead, he will encourage him to strive for a high position for a seat in the alliance. He looked at me with a burning gaze and asked, "What do you call this alliance?"
Xiao Hao said with a righteous and solemn voice, "We would like to call it——Haoqi!"
The author has something to say: As a pure and innocent villain, my love for Haoqi is really from the bottom of my heart. Believe me =v=+
