Before the Xingtian Army accepted the recruitment, he brazenly swore in Weihui Mansion to go north, and both Zhangde Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion were shocked, and they immediately sent people to Beijing to warn them.

At the same time, the states and counties along the way hurriedly closed the city gates, sent troops to the city and made a stubborn posture, ready to fight the Xingtian Army at any time.

However, the vanguard of the Xingtian Army did not look at them at all, and the cavalry with Situ Liang as the vanguard galloped to the city with great force, and loudly declared to the defenders of the city that they were not going north this time to attack the city, but only to go north from them to resist the Jiannu army, and told them not to interfere with the march of the Xingtian army, not to send people to monitor the Xingtian army, and ask them to provide food and salary support for the Xingtian army, so that they would never intrude on the place!

The officials in the city had the courage to lie on the city wall and asked Situ Liang, the imperial court did not allow the Xingtian army to go north to fight against the Tartars, why did the Xingtian army not listen to the imperial court's holy decree and act without authorization, Situ Liang replied with a sneer, saying that they were ordered by their Xiao Dashuai to go north to fight against the Tartars, as Han people, since the court and the government cannot protect the territory and the people, then they Xingtian Army came to do this for the government, if the official army can block the Jiannu into the Kou, then how can they be used to send troops?

The result was to let the officials lie on the city wall and stare at each other and didn't know how to answer, but they also saw that the Xingtian Army did not look like it was coming to attack the city this time, and they felt a little more at ease, they didn't dare to do it for the Xingtian Army's request for food and salary support, but they still did not dare to send out the night to monitor the actions of the Xingtian Army in accordance with the requirements of the Xingtian Army, and the province annoyed the Xingtian Army and caused the revenge of the evil gods of the Xingtian Army. Although the imperial court issued an order to strictly prevent the Xingtian army from going north, but with their troops, where would they dare to do such a thing, the Xingtian army passed through the border safely and steadily, and they would burn high incense, if they still sent troops to intercept the Xingtian army, not to mention whether they could beat the Xingtian army, the people in the city would rebel immediately.

The people outside the city had long heard that the Xingtian Army was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and would never harm the people, so they learned that the Xingtian Army really sent troops north to fight Jiannu, so many people spontaneously rushed to the side of the road to cheer loudly for the Xingtian Army passing through them, and even took out their small amount of food to make cakes, as well as a few eggs, and ran to the side of the road with them and gave them to the Xingtian Army.

This situation is absolutely rare in this era, when there are many chaotic teams today, and it is a worse than a military discipline, the common people generally hear that they have a large army here, they will flee in a hurry to hide, even the officers and soldiers don't think that someone will come to welcome them, but for the Xingtian Army, which has long been famous, the situation is very different, the common people welcome their arrival, and send them away, and the Xingtian Army also repays them with no crime in the autumn.

In fact, the local governments did not demonize the Xingtian Army, publicized the brutality of the Xingtian Army everywhere, and encouraged the common people to resist the Xingtian Army with them, but the Xingtian Army also made a lot of propaganda on the style of the Xingtian Army in secret, and the slogan of suppressing the army and relieving the people and relieving the people was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the people in all parts of the country north of the Yellow River also had an understanding of the Xingtian Army, which was also the reason why Luo Li led his troops to attack Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion, a large number of people would come to help them.

As for the gentry in the fort along the way, one by one they were even more frightened half to death, when they learned that the army of the Xingtian Army arrived at their fort, they were busy sending people to slaughter pigs and sheep, and took out some grain, silver, and wine syrup, and sent out the Zhuangzi, which was placed on the side of the road for the Xingtian army to use.

Therefore, after the Xingtian Army went north, it basically did not encounter any trouble, but when it was in the territory of Guangping Mansion north of Zhangde Mansion, it encountered an officer army of hundreds of people, and these hundreds of officers and soldiers were not the soldiers and horses of Guangping Mansion at all, but an official army that was defeated by the Jiannu Army in Baoding Mansion. Don't look at them, they don't dare to fight hard with the Jiannu army, but for the refugees who fled south, they killed them like a vicious and wanton killing, robbing them of all their softness, livestock, and grain, and even robbing women for their adultery.

The officials of Quang Binh Province did not dare to let them enter the city, nor did they provide them with food, which made them even more crazy, burning and looting everywhere in Quang Binh Province, but the government did not care about them at all.

As a result, it was unfortunate that they ran into the Xingtian army in the north, after Situ Liang found out about this group of routs, he immediately sent someone to report Xiao Tianjian who was following behind, Xiao Tianjian heard about it, and immediately ordered to kill this group of routs, and Situ Liang led two cavalry battalions to surround this group of officers and soldiers.

The commander of the official army realized that the big thing was not good at this time, and when he looked at the banner, he knew that this was the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army, and he didn't dare to fight, so he hurriedly asked the Xingtian Army what he was going to do, and after learning the identity of the Xingtian Army and their purpose, this officer actually shamelessly said that they were official soldiers, and since they were official soldiers, they should not be the enemies of the Xingtian Army, and asked Situ Liang why he led his troops to surround them.

Situ Liang didn't bother to tell him more, the sword was unsheathed and waved hard, nearly 3,000 cavalry were killed even if they rode in the past, and 3,000 elite cavalry fought against hundreds of routs, this battle naturally did not have any suspense, Situ Liang only took half an hour to encircle and annihilate all the routs, and killed more than half of them on the spot, and the rest were captured alive, and not even a single officer and soldier were let go.

Xiao Tianjian then led his troops to arrive, and after asking clearly what these defeated soldiers were doing in this area, he immediately ordered all the remaining captives to be buried alive, and erected a big wooden sign on their graves, with a few big characters on it: "Curse the country and the people!" ”

At this time, the local shock was very big, and the refugees all ran to congratulate each other, kneeling down to thank the Xingtian Army again and again, but after hearing about it, the Guangping prefect actually shamelessly sent someone to stop the Xingtian Army to negotiate, and asked why the Xingtian Army wanted to massacre the officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian immediately asked them why they didn't care about the rout, but let the rout wanton loot and slaughter the refugees, since their government didn't care, then they Xingtian Army took care of them, and the officials sent by the Guangping prefect immediately beat the stick out of the army and drove back to Guangping Mansion, Immediately, he led his troops to show off his might, and walked over from outside the city of Guangping Mansion.

After the officials of Guangping Mansion were lying on the city wall and watching the majesty of the Xingtian Army, even if their faces turned pale with fright, they were shocked in their hearts, where would they dare to find the theory of the Xingtian Army again! So he hurriedly sent someone to report the matter to the court, but he put the basin on the head of the Xingtian Army, saying that the Xingtian Army had blatantly slaughtered officers and soldiers.

For this point, Xiao Tianjian doesn't care what the officials say, anyway, this matter is fair and comfortable in the hearts of the people, the local people and refugees can see it clearly, the government does this, but it makes the people even more chilling, one day when he comes here again, he doesn't believe that the people don't help him.

And on the way to the south of the refugees, because there are too many people, the local government has the mentality of sweeping the snow in front of the door, ignoring these refugees, leaving them to fend for themselves in the wilderness, when he saw this situation, Xiao Tianjian ordered a small number of soldiers and horses, gathered these refugees, gave them a small amount of food, for their lives, and let these soldiers organize the refugees and escort them all the way to the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army.

Henan is now after years of military disasters and famines, the population has long been withered, the land controlled by the Xingtian Army is getting bigger and bigger, although they are trying their best to restore agricultural production, but because of the small number of people, so that a large amount of land is still in a state of abandonment, so in order to resume production in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army as soon as possible, it is necessary to introduce more people, and this time the construction of slaves into the Kou, forcing many people in the north to flee south, just Xiao Tianjian took advantage of this opportunity to introduce these refugees who are not waiting to see the government into Henan for resettlement, Although some people will return to their hometowns in the future, for the Xingtian Army to go north again in the future, these ordinary people will definitely be grateful to the Xingtian Army for taking care of them.

As a result, the originally disorderly refugees began to be organized, and the people of the Xingtian Army selected some people from among them and asked them to protect other refugees to go south, and a large number of refugees began to continue to move south and poured into the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army.

The weather in Layue is very cold, many refugees flee from their homes, they only carry very few belongings, along the way they are often robbed by bandits and officers and soldiers, many of them have been stripped of their thick clothes, the further north they go, the more such refugees, many refugees because they can't find food, they die of cold and hunger on the side of the road, after Quang Binh Province, the number of refugees began to decrease, even the local people, also one step earlier because they heard that the Tartars were about to kill them, and fled from their homeland, Many villages are empty and uninhabited for tens of miles.

After leaving Guangping Mansion and entering the territory of Zhending Mansion, this situation became even more serious, even the scouts wanted to find a guide, it was not easy, sometimes half a day, to find a living person, and even found that some villages had been burned by war, and a large number of old and weak villagers were slaughtered.

So Xiao Tianjian gave an order, and the Xingtian Army stopped, and all the generals gathered at Xiao Tianjian's side to listen to Xiao Tianjian's dispatch.
