Gongsun Sheng, who only stayed in Taiyuan Mansion for two more days, often gossiped with Xiao Tang, and had a deeper friendship with each other, said goodbye and prepared to return to his hometown in Jizhou. After Shan Shiqi and Shi Jin visited Wang Jin again, they immediately went south to Tongyu County of Weisheng Army, and then spent some time with their long-separated parents, and then prepared to take them to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou.

Shi Jin temporarily came to Xiao Tang's tent to act, whether it was Wang Jin, who gave him the grace of teaching, or Niu Gao, who had been practicing martial arts in the Xiao family for a long time with Shi Dalang, was naturally very happy, and when Shi Jin got along with Wang Jin, he said that the two mountains of Qingzhou only need to fight righteousness and squandering wealth, eliminate violence and peace, and act exclusively for the way of heaven, vowing not to harm ordinary people, loyal and righteous heroes, Wang Jin was also very happy when he heard this, although he still only wants to make achievements in the side court, but thinking back on his past experience, his benefactor Xiao Tang, colleague Lin Chong, Xu Ning, apprentice Shi Jin and others have all become heroes in the green forest, and Wang Jin naturally believes that they will never be clear in their words and deeds.

After dealing with the matter in the green forest over Shandong, Xiao Tang now has to retract his mind and concentrate on exterminating Tian Hu and other Hedong thieves who are doing chaos and evil as soon as possible.

The current situation is also clear at a glance, at that time, in Hedong all over the attack on the state and county, chasing the officials and troops to overcome everything, the increasingly arrogant Hedong thieves later suffered heavy blows after Xiao Tang led the army to enter Hedong. Of course, Tian Hu can lead the remnants to the north and east to escape from Hedong Road, but further north is the territory of Liao, and now Tian Hu has not set up with the officials within the Liao Dynasty, not to mention that although the two major powers of Song and Liao are against each other, after all, there is still a diplomatic relationship between life and death, and a large stream of grass is coming to harm the people of their own country, so how can the Liao army on the border let them go?

If you flee to the east to the boundary of Hebei Road, Tian Hu's appeal in the green forest will be greatly reduced, although in the original book as one of the four great Kou he was called "Hebei Tianhu", in fact, it is only a habitual name for the Hedong and Hebei two rivers at such a time, and the scope of his division in the book is only limited to the central and southern parts of Hedong Road. Usually in the rivers and lakes of the characters have a strong sense of territory, just like Song Jiang in Shandong, Hebei territory with his reputation can call the wind and rain, although one hundred single eight generals are all from the forest, but most of them are also for their own reasons, and it is also the same as the Great Song Dynasty bandits in the high-incidence area of Jilu to worship Song Jiang as the big brother. But when Song Jiang accepted Zhao'an and led the Liangshan soldiers and horses to crusade against Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, most of the strongmen under the command of the four major Kou in Hedong, Huaixi, and Jiangnan regions reacted first: Shuibo Caokou, are you Song Jiang a fucking bird?

Tian Hu was born in Qinyuan, Hedong Weisheng Army, under the premise that he had gathered evil party bandits for many years and carefully prepared to rebel, the characters in the green forest thieves in Hedong would buy his account, but most of the people in the green forest in Shandong and Hebei would not recognize him as a big leader, and the people of the people were lost, and then they provoked the officials and soldiers of Hebei Zhulu to come to encircle and suppress...... Tian Hu will only die faster.

In this case, Tian Hu only has one choice left, that is, Xitou and the party members merge with him, and take advantage of the opportunity to urge Xia Guo to support him.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Now that they have an accurate insight into the movements of Tian Hu's thief army, Xiao Tang and his generals have of course quickly made arrangements, preparing to completely eradicate the remnants of the thieves in Hedong.

When the military discussion was held in the government hall of Taiyuan Mansion, Xiao Jiasui, a henchman and think tank under Xiao Tang, planned to first set up a defense in the northwest of Taiyuan Mansion led by Wang Huan and Han Cunbao to block the invasion of the party departments, but this way should only be held and not attacked. The purpose of sending troops was only to restrict the activities of the party members, and to completely isolate the Hedong thieves led by Tian Hu from the party departments that entered the country.

In addition, Xiao Tang, Yao Pingzhong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and the soldiers and horses of the new army must take the initiative to send troops to attack, and set up blockages and ambushes everywhere. Now presumably, the morale of the thieves in Hedong is very low, and the large number of officers and troops in front of them are killed, and the small troops around them are designed to block, which can cause strong pressure on their psychology, and the thief army is exhausted and unable to reorganize and rest. And Xiao Tang led a large army to chase Tian Hu and beat him fiercely, which made Tian Hu unable to stay and plunder the money and food around him, so they could only keep fleeing. For a flock of frightened birds, they simply can't be given any chance to regroup, rest and fight again.

Xiao Jiasui's design like this, if it sounds good, it is to launch an expansion of achievements, chase and annihilate the retreating enemy, and completely annihilate the pursuit tactics of the thief army. However, this is also in line with Xiao Tang's intentions, so he immediately issued orders, transferred troops, and ordered the officers and soldiers of the department to rest for two days, and then immediately waved the army to the battle......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Brother Niu Gao, more than 300 war horses requisitioned from the Taiyuan Mansion Horse Husbandry Supervisor, and there are brave and strong people who can understand some riding skills selected from the displaced people here to form a horse army riding battalion, I will appoint you to temporarily be a horse army envoy in the new army, you have also made some military achievements before, I will recommend you to transfer to a regular position in the army. Since you also intend to make a name for yourself on the battlefield, if you only obey orders in front of my tent as a general, although you can also charge into battle, but your ability to lead troops to fight will not be honed.

However, the horse army is not as good as the infantry army, and the soldiers under your command may not all be brave and strong who can ride and shoot well. Now it has been less than a month since the newly selected military athletes from Taiyuan Mansion were trained, and Wang Jin's head was well trained, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to bear the burden for a while. This time sent troops to encircle and suppress Tian Hu, the new army selected from Taiyuan Mansion mainly acted as an auxiliary officer and army, where you led the patrol of this battalion of horse troops, how to deploy the commander when the light cavalry sentry was scouting, etc., Wang Jin also carefully taught you, remember not to act recklessly because of a moment of greed. ”

In the military village set up outside Taiyuan Mansion, Xiao Tang was carefully encouraging Niu Gao, and at that time, Zhou Dong was in the Xiao family to let him take this Niu Heizi out of the mountain, and there was a chance for him to find an errand in the army. Xiao Tang also taught Niu Gao to follow him to Hedong Road to conquer the thieves according to his teacher's instructions, and it is said that with the friendship between Niu Gao and himself, now he is to let him know everything about his double-line actions, and teach Niu Gao to join his cottage and be a strongman leader, presumably he will agree immediately. But Xiao Tang thought to himself that if it was really arranged, it would be regarded as living up to Zhou Tong's expectations for Niu Gao, and secondly, there was no shortage of cavalry warriors in the green forest cottage under his command. Although Niu Gao is reckless, he does have great potential to tap in the commander's army, and the Hedong boundary established by the new army is a military stronghold, if Niu Gao is arranged to hold a military position in the new army, then there will be more opportunities for him to get tempered by war.

As for the big things he planned, although one day he must let Niu Gao, even when he is still young, Yue Fei, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others who are still honing martial arts and the art of war with Zhou Tong in Xiao Jiaji know, but Xiao Tang wants to give Niu Gao a chance, whether to choose to remain in the official army and be a forbidden army general, or whether he is willing to directly join the green forest cottage under his command to be the leader of the rebel army, it is up to him to make a choice.

After listening to Xiao Tang's words, after Niu Gao learned that he was finally able to command a battalion of soldiers and horses, and he could be regarded as a military attaché, he was eight points excited and two points apprehensive, and immediately nodded heavily, and said to Xiao Tang gratefully: "Brother trusts, I will live up to it!" In other words, if it weren't for my brother and Miss Tang who saved my Hun family and my mother, and recommended me to join my teacher, and I would have been able to work with Brother Yue and others, my Niu Gao would still be just a mud leg in the deep mountains of Lushan in Ruzhou.

My brother saved my family, and taught me to live now to have a clear mind, and to be so kind of great grace that crosses the sea, but whenever my brother is sent, even the brothers of the sword mountain and the sea of fire dare to break through, just to be able to fight for my brother more! ”

Xiao Tang smiled faintly, patted Niu Gao's shoulder again, but secretly said in his heart: Like you, a famous anti-gold general, how can I not do my best to help when I meet it? It's just that now I can help you, and there will be two paths in front of you in the future, how to choose, and it will be up to you to decide in the future.
