However, the originally planned attack on Kaifeng at the end of February was delayed for a few days because of the matter of the 5th Battalion of the Left Battalion, which was given to them by the Xingtian Army after retreating into Henan, and at the same time, the Xingtian Army also intercepted the pursuers of the official army and covered the retreat of the 5th Battalion of the Left to the area of Guide to rest and recuperate.

And the five battalions of the left also received Xiao Tianjian's invitation to welcome them to vote, Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, the reincarnation king Liu Xiyao, and the troubled king Lin Yang after careful discussion, also felt that with their strength is unable to confront the imperial court head-on, if they continue to fight against the official army in the area of Lianghuai and Yinghuo Mountain, it is likely to end up with a result of being suppressed, by this time, the strength of the Xingtian army has been firmly at the top of the rebel army from all walks of life, It can even be said that the territory they occupy far exceeds the sum of the territory controlled by all the rebels, and Xiao Tianjian, whether in terms of prestige or strength, is beyond the reach of these leaders of the rebels.

In addition, Luo Rucai, the veteran leader of the rebel army, has already led his troops to defect to Xiao Tianjian, and has been trusted and reused by Xiao Tianjian, so for the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, at least there is no psychological barrier.

So Lao Huihui was the first to stand up and express his willingness to join the Xingtian Army, and listened to the order under Xiao Tianjian, as for Ge Li Yanhe Yilong and a few others, at first they did not agree to take refuge in Xiao Tianjian, but after careful consideration, they also had to admit that the strength of the Xingtian Army far exceeded them too much, and more than 3,000 soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army blocked for them more than 20,000 officers and troops led by Lu Jiude and Song Yihe who pursued them, so that they did not dare to enter Henan half a step again, and their several men and horses have not fought well in the western Anhui area over the years. The officers and soldiers did not dare to fight to the death with the Xingtian Army, but they concentrated their forces to deal with them, and as a result, over the past year or so, their activity area has become smaller and smaller, from the initial hundreds of thousands of people, and gradually squeezed only less than 40,000 of them, the vast majority of which are still old and weak people, not a soldier at all, but there are only less than 10,000 soldiers left, and there are only about one or two thousand elite men and horses under each person, and it is becoming more and more difficult to stand on their own, and the Xingtian Army casually pulls out a reserve battalion, are all a little more powerful than one of them.

So in the end, considering the problem of survival, the other four finally agreed to join the Xingtianjun and become Xiao Tianjian's subordinates from then on, although they were a little reluctant, but thinking that Luo Rucai's qualifications were so old, they all followed Xiao Tianjian, and they were much more psychologically balanced, which was also the main reason why Xiao Tianjian wanted to keep Luo Rucai in the first place.

Xiao Tianjian was originally going to wave his army to Kaifeng Mansion, but after learning that the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo had arrived at Guide Mansion in advance, he ordered Liu Bao to supervise the army and temporarily stop in the area of Zhuxian Town, posing a threat to Kaifeng City, forcing Kaifeng Mansion to enter the midst of the rumors, and vigorously practicing the tactics of attacking the city in the area of Zhuxian Town, ready to attack Kaifeng Mansion at any time.

And he didn't bring too many men and horses, and only rushed to Guide Mansion with the guard battalion around him.

In Guide Mansion, Xiao Tianjian finally met the five leaders of the five battalions of the Gezuo, which is quite famous in history, and when they returned to the old Huihui, they finally saw this powerful figure in the Central Plains, when they saw Xiao Tianjian's tall and majestic figure, angular appearance, and the kind of demeanor revealed in his gestures, they couldn't help but be impressed on the spot.

In fact, it is not Xiao Tianjian's appearance that really impresses them, but what really impresses them is the performance of those Xingtian soldiers under Xiao Tianjian, through Xiao Tianjian's subtle plagiarism of the military drills of later generations, and the soldiers and horses under his command borrowed the drills of later generations for training, so that now the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army are sonorous and powerful between their gestures, which seems to be the peak of the army, and the guard battalion is the army in the army, and the neatness and majesty of the drill column is the only one in the world. The guards who accompanied Xiao Tianjian only unfolded, and collectively came to a set of brief welcome ceremonies, showing their separate columns to the generals of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and then the generals of the entire Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left were dumbfounded, and exclaimed again and again that the Xingtian Army was powerful, no wonder they could be invincible and invincible! At the same time, looking at the so-called generals he brought, and secretly comparing them with the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, they really couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves, and they couldn't stand up to anything.

Coupled with the dazzling record of repeated times, where to put it, they can't be convinced if they want to return to this old time! So under the leadership of Lao Huihui, when he saw Xiao Tianjian walking towards them with a spring breeze on his face, he knelt down on one knee together and called him handsome.

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up one by one, even saying that he didn't dare to do it, it was too polite! The greetings as if they had seen an old friend made Lao Huihui and the others all feel emotional, and felt that although Xiao Tianjian was called a killing god, in fact, it seemed that he was still quite polite and approachable, and invisibly brought them closer to each other, making them feel a lot less resistant in their hearts.

Xiao Tianjian didn't talk nonsense with them much, and held a grand banquet in Guide Mansion to entertain Lao Huihui and others, and Xiao Tianjian did not mention the reorganization of the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo for the time being, but only invited the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo to cooperate with their Xingtian Army to open the blockade.

When I heard that Xiao Tianjian was going to send troops to attack and open the city, Lao Huihui and several of them were taken aback, because the year before last, Lao Huihui and their fifth battalion entered Henan from Shaanxi, and they killed Kaifeng City along the way, but after seeing Kaifeng City, they saw that Kaifeng City was strong, and the city was very huge, so after looting outside Kaifeng City, they immediately turned south, and never thought that they could capture such a strong city, and when they passed through Guide Mansion, was also defeated by the official army, and finally retreated to the area of Huoying Mountain and began to operate in western Anhui.

Now they heard that Xiao Tianjian was going to open the seal, so they were all surprised, thinking that Xiao Tianjian didn't know how many troops he had, and he actually dared to open the seal, so they quickly nodded and expressed their willingness to obey Xiao Tianjian's dispatch and assist in breaking the seal.

At the same time, they were also happy that Xiao Tianjian did not propose to reorganize the generals under their command, after all, these subordinates were pulled out by them, if Xiao Tianjian proposed to reorganize them, it would inevitably make them suspect that Xiao Tianjian wanted to annex their soldiers and horses, but Xiao Tianjian did not mention this matter at all today, but only talked about the general trend of the world, and during the period, he also gave the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo a detailed introduction to the matter of their going north and fighting with the Tartars before and after the New Year.

When they heard the news that Xiao Tianjian had lost several battles of the Tartar army in the Jingfu area, the old Hui and a few people were secretly surprised in their hearts, the official army was not easy to deal with in their eyes, but Xiao Tianjian actually dared to lead his troops to fight the Jiannu army, and he also won consecutive battles and robbed so many materials of the Tartar soldiers, which made them even more afraid of Xiao Tianjian.

No matter what era it is in this world, it is the powerful fist that has the final say, although they still have their own thoughts when they come, but when they see Xiao Tianjian's true strength, they have a lot less thoughts.

So everyone stepped forward to toast Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian also let go of his mood, the comers did not refuse to drink with them, some people said that some people got drunk together once, and they could have a friendship for ten years, it is really true, these people in the fifth battalion of the left are also considered heroes, seeing Xiao Tianjian drink refreshingly, they also feel very happy, and follow a big drink.

In the end, when Xiao Tianjian was a little hazy and hazy, he still tried to maintain a trace of clarity, and said to the old man through the banquet: "You can come thousands of miles to vote for Xiao, you can afford me Xiao Tianjian, you can drink a drink today, it is really a pleasure, but it is a pity that Vice Marshal Luo failed to come here today, and he is still fighting with the officers and troops under Zuo Liangyu in Nanyang, it is really a pity, otherwise Deputy Marshal Luo is here, and everyone will be even more happy!"

But the most important thing at the moment is that we still have to lay down Kaifeng as soon as possible, and one day after we overthrow the Ming Dynasty, I Xiao will definitely have another drink with your brothers!

This time to open the seal, it is a big war, Xiao has also seen the soldiers and horses of your brothers, today I will mention a thing, and I hope you can support it!

In order to reduce the consumption of grain, you brothers don't know if you can put the old and weak generals in Guide Mansion for the time being? Xiao can guarantee that he will never treat these brothers badly, and he will definitely send someone to settle them properly! In this way, we will have a lot less worries when we open the seal! ”

Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the wine to make such a request, and it was not easy for them to refuse, and they also saw the military might of the Xingtian Army, if they still dragged so many old and weak people to Kaifeng, it would be a joke, so several people nodded their heads in agreement after hearing it.

Then Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the wine to explain the military position of Xingtianjun to Lao Huihui and others in detail, and made a decision on the spot, awarding several of them the position of deputy commander, and after listening to it, several people thought about it for a while, and felt that although the position given to them by Xiao Tianjian was not as high as Luo Rucai, but after all, it was first come, first served, who let Luo Rucai vote for Xiao Tianjian first! And the deputy capital is unified in the Xingtian Army, which is also a very high position, so a few people have nothing to say, so they got up and stood in front of Xiao Tianjian, and even thanked them, as for the generals under them, Xiao Tianjian did not assign them official positions on the spot, but just said that after this battle, he would take Kaifeng Mansion and then reward them.

So Lao Huihui and the other subordinates also got up to thank them, full of longing to perform well in the Kaifeng battle, and turn around to get a good official position.
