"Sir's worries are reasonable, but you see, although Shanxi is Xuanda in the north, close to the land of Beijing, and there are a large number of officers and soldiers stationed, but the southern part of Shanxi is a place where the army is empty, and our trip to the past, not like the last time the rebel army gathered in Shanxi, the momentum is huge, and we only need strict military regulations, find a place for us to stop, appease the local villagers, I expect that with our momentum, it will not alarm the imperial court, until one day, after we are strong, Even if the imperial court senses our threat, then I'm afraid they will have nothing to do with us!

Since we call it a base area, then we must treat it as our own home and management, not for the sake of disaster, but for the benefit of the people! It's not as simple as the so-called robbing the rich and helping the poor like they do now, I hope Mr. can understand the difference between our Xingtian Army and other righteous armies!

In addition, I might as well say bluntly to Mr. that the reason why I decided to enter Jin this time is not to take the southern part of Shanxi as a long-term plan, but to wait for the opportunity to take this place as a foundation, and the south of Jin is adjacent to Shaanxi and Henan, as long as the situation allows, we occupy here, whether it is to go south into Shaanxi, or east into Henan, and north Zhili, all for convenience, how can the great cause not be achieved at that time? Xiao Tianjian explained carefully to Fu Deming.

Fu Deming touched the beard on his chin, looked at a hand-drawn sketch of Shanxi drawn out by Xiao Tianjian, and after looking at it carefully, he also nodded, he has been thinking about how to act next for Xiao Tianjian during this time, just now Xiao Tianjian mentioned a few places, all of which were vetoed by him one by one, he initially had the idea of letting Xiao Tianjian continue to go west and choose a place to gain a firm foothold, but after thinking about it carefully, if you go west, although the land is wide, there is a big problem, that is, it is sparsely populated, even if it occupies a place, This person is not easy to solve, these years of great famine, many people in the west have run inward, even the military families have abandoned their family registration and fled into the interior, where will anyone go west at this time!

So after hearing Xiao Tianjian's thoughts, Fu Deming also nodded in agreement: "It turns out that the general has already had plans during this time, if according to the general's plan, his subordinates feel that it is very feasible to enter Jin and lay a base in southern Jin!" It's just that this trip to Jin, the road is far away, I'm afraid there will be many unforeseen things on the road, the general should make plans early! ”

"I think that after Gao Li and others got into trouble, they can go through the mountains and Shaanxi Henan, and even as far as the north and south of Zhili, and the journey is not less than 10,000 miles away, so why can't we go in the Xingtian Army? Since this is the case, then we won't stay here for a long time, since Gao Li and Li always want to swallow us, then it's better for us to leave early! After Xiao Tianjian finished speaking, he rolled up the map on the table, called the iron head into the account, and asked him to pack the map in a cylinder made of cowhide.

Fu Deming nodded and agreed: "What the general said is the same, but there is still something that the subordinates want to tell the general!" But this matter is only suspected, but there is no real evidence, I don't know if it should be said! ”

"Mr. Fu has something to say, don't be afraid to say something wrong! You should know my temper, too, and how can I blame anyone for saying the wrong thing? Xiao Tianjian picked up a bowl of herbal tea and drank it in a big gulp, now the weather has begun to cool down significantly, a bowl of tea will be cooled when it is poured for a short time, and autumn will come in the blink of an eye.

"This ...... Does the general remember one of the women in the battalion? ”

"Oh? Women's battalion? There are dozens of female dependents in the women's camp! What do you mean...... Could it be Ling'er? What's wrong with her? Xiao Tianjian suddenly thought of Fan Ling'er, so he immediately asked Fu Deming.

"Definitely! It's not Fan Xiaoniang, it's that butterfly! That is, outside the Qianyang Tianlong Village, the woman that King Gao Chuang gave to the general! Please be on guard against one or two! Fu Deming shook his head and said.

As soon as he heard the name Die'er, Xiao Tianjian suddenly had a beautiful face in his mind, during this time, after he arrived outside Longzhou City, he never stayed overnight in the back camp, so that he almost forgot about this Die'er given to him by Gao Yingxiang, if it wasn't for Fu Deming to mention her today, he really didn't remember that there was such a woman in the back camp!

"Butterfly? Did Mr. Fu find anything wrong with her? Xiao Tianjian immediately asked Fu Deming.

"I'm not sure, but during this time, since Gao Yingxiang led his troops here, that butterfly will use the excuse of visiting relatives in Gao Yingxiang's camp every two days, because of her identity, the soldiers at the camp gate are not convenient to interfere, but she is in and out of the two camps so frequently, and the relationship between our two armies is so tense, there is always something wrong! I am worried that this woman will be the dark line that Gao Yingxiang left by the general's side!

But at the moment this is just a lowly conjecture, and there is no evidence, these days the lowly position also sent people to pay attention to this butterfly, a little found some clues, this butterfly these days, often chatting with people, from time to time to inquire about some of the various news in our camp, and especially pay attention to the changes in our grain reserves, so today just bring it up to the general, please take precautions! If the general decides to leave this place secretly, it is better not to let her know about it! Or maybe just restrict her from camping! Fu Deming was in charge of intelligence collection according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions during this time, and occasionally he heard some people in the back camp privately talking about this butterfly's abnormal reaction, so he added a little caution, and after observing for a few days, he found that this butterfly was really going to Gao Yingxiang's camp in two days, since Gao Yingxiang had already given her to Xiao Tianjian, then Die'er was Xiao Tianjian's person, and she went in and out of the two camps so frequently, even if the defense of men and women in the righteous army was not strict, But it was obviously a bit unreasonable for her to do this, so Fu Deming always felt that something was wrong with the woman Die'er, so he had the courage to mention this matter to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian pondered for a while and then nodded: "Mr. Fu has a heart, I already know about this matter!" Don't worry, Mr. This matter, only a few of us know about it for the time being, and I won't tell Ling'er or Die'er about this matter! As for whether she is the dark line that Gao Yingxiang left by my side, it doesn't matter, after we leave here, she will lose her effect! ”

Fu Deming hugged his fists and said to Xiao Tianjian: "I admire the things that the general has done very much, the general can be so strict with himself and not be moved by beauty, and his subordinates are deeply admired!" But the subordinates still have to remind the general that if this Butterfly is indeed sent by Gao Yingxiang secretly, the general had better be on guard, lest once we and Gao Yingxiang turn against each other, Die'er will be ordered to be unfavorable to the general! For the sake of the general, the subordinates may have said something excessive, and I hope the general will forgive me! After all, the general is involved in the future of our entire Xingtian Army, so we have to guard against it! The subordinates have said that they have come to this point, and I hope that the general will think twice and his subordinates will retire! ”

Looking at the back of Fu Deming leaving, Xiao Tianjian slowly sat on the chair, touched his chin and beard, and looked down and thought about it.

Xiao Tianjian didn't think much about his life and death before, but now after more than half a year of operation, Fu Deming is right, with his current identity, he has become the support of everyone in the entire Xingtian Army, and the fate of so many people is tied to his life and death, so he has to think more about himself, after all, if he is born, many people can live with him, if he dies, then so many people who trust him are likely to die because of him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianjian stood up......
