After Xiao Tianjian suddenly led his troops to capture Changsha, taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding officials and troops were at a loss, Xiao Tianjian immediately sent troops to sweep the Changsha area, and in just a few days, Xiangtan, Yiyang, Liuyang and other counties were included in the bag, and the local officials and soldiers did almost not do anything to resist, either fleeing or surrendering on the spot, so that the Xingtianjun did not waste too much time in this regard. （..)

Xiao Tianjian didn't expect it to be so smooth, he thought that these places had not suffered from military disasters before, and the people would not support them too much, and the government and local officials and troops were likely to resist desperately, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, speaking of taking Liuyang, it can even be said to be a little ridiculous, Xiao Tianjian hadn't had time to divide his troops to attack Liuyang, just because he heard that some of the remnants of the officers and soldiers in Liuyang were making trouble there, he just sent hundreds of soldiers and horses, Go there to clean up the remnants of the officers and soldiers there, but I didn't want to know Liuyang County but fled when I heard the news, and the officers and soldiers in the county town were even more scattered, leaving an empty city for Xiao Tianjian, and some people in the city spontaneously organized, went out of the city to find the people of the Xingtian Army, and introduced them into the city.

Things have developed to this point, which Xiao Tianjian did not expect, he and his subordinates were a little unexpected, and even Li Xin, the "chief of staff", was a little unbelievable.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian immediately convened his subordinates to discuss what to do next, he was faced with two choices, that is, either take advantage of this great opportunity to take down the southern part of Huguang for the time being, if possible, simply even the Jiangxi side was taken down and pulled down, the government of these places in the province was ready, and it would take some time to take these places in the future.

The other is that he first put down the affairs in this area, continued to act according to the original plan, gave up immediately attacking these places in the southern part of Huguang, left a small number of troops stationed in the Changsha area, continued to lead troops into the Yangtze River, marched towards Wuchang, first took Wuchang, the provincial capital of Huguang, and then waved his army southward to capture the southern part of Huguang and Jiangxi.

This is a dilemma, choose any of these options, you have to give up another good opportunity, Xiao Tianjian is quite difficult, even sigh fish and bear paw he wants, give up which is reluctant, and finally after thinking twice, Xiao Tianjian gritted his teeth, simply come to a fish and bear's paw, leave the main force of this way, continue to attack the south of Huguang, and then continue to fight Chongde, Hengyang, Shaoyang, Yongzhou and other places, and strive to take advantage of this opportunity to control the southern part of Huguang as soon as possible, Next, take advantage of the situation to launch an offensive against Jiangxi, and strive to take Jiangxi down in a year's time.

But in terms of selecting generals, Xiao Tianjian is a little hesitant, among the generals he has under his command, the highest position is Situ Liang, followed by Gao Jian and others, although Yang Kunshan is the commander of the water camp, his status is not low, and even higher than Situ Liang, but Yang Kunshan's ability is limited to commanding the water camp, and it is not his strong point to attack the city, so Yang Kunshan is definitely not good!

Situ Liang was born in the cavalry and is familiar with the tactics of the cavalry, but this guy has a bad temper, sometimes he doesn't listen to the words of ordinary people, only Xiao Tianjian can suppress him, once he is released, this guy has a more violent personality, and if he doesn't do it well, he will cause some right and wrong, and there are more ethnic minorities in the south of Huguang, if he doesn't have a good temper, he may cause a big mess here, so Situ Liang is obviously not a suitable candidate for such an important task.

Gao Jian, this kid is good, and he has been practicing with Xiao Tianjian for so long, but after all, his age is here, not enough to convince the public, let alone his vision, it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility.

In the end, after thinking about it, Xiao Tianjian finally stopped his eyes on Li Xin, Li Xin is a person who can be literate and martial, and his mind is very flexible, and he is quite steady, and he is very good at dealing with people in all aspects, it can be said that he is the only person available to him at the moment, whether it is in terms of qualifications or brains, it is enough to convince the public, so after thinking about it, he can only endure the pain and cut his love, and let Li Xin stay in the southern part of Huguang and Jiangxi.

And Xiao Tianjian did not have the kind of vigilance that Li Zicheng had against Li Xin at the beginning, in the Xingtian Army, although relatives are also welcomed, but the generals are never allowed to arrange their own positions, and the generals do not have the right to form their own family groups, after everyone joins the army, they are uniformly deployed and arranged to do things in various ministries, although Li Xin recruited a lot of Li family relatives for Xiao Tianjian in his hometown to join the army, but these people are now working in various ministries or in the clerical system, and cannot form their own group. Therefore, no one can form their own small group in the Xingtian Army, and there is no need to worry about its tail being too big.

This is also the first problem that Xiao Tianjian has to consider when he annexes other rebel armies, even if Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates like Li Dingguo and their group still let them control the old department for the time being, but after a long time, they will gradually break it up and gradually integrate it into the system of the Xingtian Army.

It's just that after leaving Li Xin, Xiao Tianjian has one less important staff officer, but compared with the current situation, leaving Li Xin to preside over the strategy of southern Huguang is obviously more important than staying at Xiao Tianjian's side, so Xiao Tianjian finally chose to order Li Xin, stay in Changsha and lead the army to continue to travel in southern Huguang, and this time the soldiers and horses he brought, the water camp was divided into two, and Yang Kunshan was left to listen to Li Xin's dispatch, and the rest went to Wuchang with Xiao Tianjian, as for the other battalions, Xiao Tianjian left most of it behind for Li Xin's dispatch, and he only led part of his men to Huguang.

After making a decision, Li Xin happily accepted the order, because he also believed that Xiao Tianjian was right to do this, and Li Xin was quite excited about Xiao Tianjian's trust in him, and immediately promised to do this well.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian also left Gao Jian and a group of other generals under Li Xin to obey orders, summoned these people to the front, and instructed them to act according to orders, not to disrespect orders under Li Xin, if anyone does not obey Li Xin's dispatch, then don't think about mixing in the Xingtian Army in the future.

After hearing this, Gao Jian's generals thought so, and hurriedly said that they would not dare, they would definitely follow Li Xin to do things well, and would never do anything extravagant, after all, although Li Xin had not been in the Heavenly Army for as long as some of them, they also saw Xiao Tianjian's trust in Li Xin, and where Li Xin's ability was placed, they couldn't help but be unconvinced, so they didn't have to worry about these guys not listening to Li Xin.

When Xiao Tianjian arranged these things, he didn't delay much in Changsha, and immediately ordered the rest of the men, boarded the ship and led the army to set off, once again entering the Yangtze River from the Xiangjiang River, and began to march in the direction of Wuchang.
