After Jiang Qin poured a cup of hot tea in one goo, he felt a little warm on his body, and his trembling was not so bad, so he said to Xiao Tianjian: "The humble post caught up this time, mainly because of the news about the rebels from all walks of life, and I want to inform the marshal!"

Beizhi has just received some news in Yongning, and now the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guineng, Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun and other Lu Yi Army, a few days ago, have gone out of Shaanxi and Sichuan again, divided into several roads into Henan and Huguang area, Chuang Collapse Heaven led the troops into Jingxiang and other places, Scorpion Block led the troops along the river to the east, it seems that they plan to re-enter Jiangbei, and the Eight Kings led 30,000 troops, gathered troops in the Yuzhou area, first Ke Nanzhao, and now the troops are pointing directly at Gwangju, it seems that they are planning to attack Gwangju.

And Shanxi Feng also sent a message, saying that after the marshal sent troops south to Henan, Luo Rucai paid 30,000 taels of silver, purchased a batch of weapons from our hometown, ten days ago, led his troops to step on the ice in Hancheng, and also broke into Shanxi, first besieged Wanrong Buke, and then threatened Jiezhou to the south, Shanxi began to mess up again, General Yan asked the general, whether to cooperate with them to contain the official army.

In addition, after the Shanxi official lost Zezhou, he sent Xu Dingguo to lead thousands of officers and troops to launch an attack on Gaoping County twenty days ago, but was beaten back by General Liu's four battalions, so he had to retreat to Lu'an Mansion, and he should not dare to attack Gaoping again in a short time!

More than 20 days ago, the officers and troops of the Jiezhou side also tried to enter Yuanqu County, but they were also beaten back by General Yan, and General Yan said that please rest assured that the marshal will not lose anything in his hometown now!

It's just that now the surface of the Yellow River in the ancient city has also been frozen, and the transfer of materials in his hometown has been a little difficult recently, General Yan has strengthened the defense force in the south of Yuanqu County, and strictly prevented the officials and troops of Shaanxi or Henan from crossing the ice to the north and attacking Yuanqu, please rest assured!

During this period of time, General Shi has reorganized the township barracks in his hometown into seven township barracks, which are stationed in various places, and General Liu has also transferred a group of officers, and more than 100 people have been transferred from the juvenile battalion to supplement the township barracks, General Shi asked Lord Feng to inform the marshal that there will be no problem with the safety of his hometown for the time being, and these seven township barracks can be pulled out at any time to cooperate with General Yan to participate in the war, and the combat effectiveness will never be lower than that of ordinary officers and soldiers!

At the same time, General Shi also selected 1,000 new soldiers among the township soldiers in various counties, which have been trained, and gathered them in the ancient town to stand by, so that they can step on the ice and enter Henan at any time to supplement the battle losses of the battalions under the command of the commander!

As for Mr. Fu, he also wrote to say that everything is fine in the civil affairs of the family, and the production of the self-made firecrackers in the Shuangfeng Zhai craftsman camp has increased a lot recently, and before the Yellow River froze, the last batch of self-made firecrackers has been transported to Mianchi County and hidden in the Xingjiazhuang, and the handsome can send someone to transport this batch of self-made firecrackers back to Yongning at any time! ”

After listening to this, Xiao Tianjian suddenly had a general understanding of the current situation, and after thinking about it for a while, he formed a general situation map in his mind, nodded and smiled: "Very good!" Feng Gouzi, you are doing a good job, keep up the good work! These messages were sent in a timely manner, but you didn't say anything about the current situation of Li Zicheng's department, did you forget? ”

Jiang Qin hurriedly replied: "Oh! I forgot to say it for a while, about the new king Li Zicheng, Lord Feng also sent news, since Li Zicheng received the weapons we provided them, he regained in the Shangluo area, and led his troops out of the Shangluo area a month ago, first entered Hanzhong, and then rushed west to the area of Xihe County, and fought a big battle with the officers and troops under Sun Chuanting in the Tianshui area, Li Zicheng's troops were defeated, and fled west again, and now his whereabouts are unknown! I forgot to talk about this matter for a while just now, and I ask you to forgive me! ”

Xiao Tianjian shook his head slightly and smiled: "Letting you remember so many things at once, forgetting to say it is also an unintentional mistake, you don't have to blame yourself anymore!" Don't forget it in the future! Remember, pay close attention to the news of the rebels, and if there is any situation, let it know to me as soon as possible!

Li Zicheng is really angry! Let's help him so much, he still can't beat the official army, hehe! When will he understand that he has no future in doing this! That's it! You have kept an eye on Li Zicheng's movements for me, if he needs our help with anything, tell Mr. Fu, don't be stingy, help him as much as possible!

As for Cao Cao leading his troops to attack and harass Jiezhou, you should also send the news to Yan Chongxi and Shi Ran as soon as possible, just say that it is my order, so that they can only take care of our hometown, and order the township barracks to guard their homes, just let Luo Rucai go and make trouble! You are only allowed to provide them with certain supplies or intelligence assistance, but you are not allowed to cooperate with his actions! Also, once Cao Cao suffers a loss in Jiezhou, to prevent his scattered remnants from running to our territory to cause trouble, what should be closed is closed, once they want to cause trouble to our territory, warn them first, if they don't listen, I will repair them fiercely! I want everyone to know that as long as it is the territory of our Heavenly Army, no one will be allowed to touch it!

As for Yan Chongxi's side, passing on my order, the first battalion under his command was expanded on the spot, divided into two, and expanded into two combat battalions, and the newly formed combat battalion was given the number of the fifth battalion of the Xingtian Army, and ensured that it could be put into battle before the year.

In addition, I ordered Liu Bao's fourth battalion to withdraw from Gaoping County before the end of the month, and hand over the defense of Gaoping County to the Gaoping and Zezhou Township Barracks to be responsible, and let Huang Shengqiang's artillery battalion transfer a company to Gaoping to assist in the defense.

That's all for now! Your people should also strengthen the investigation of the situation of the rebel army in various parts of Henan, and keep abreast of their movements at any time, especially the actions of the Eight Great Kings, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation.

You've worked hard this time, go down and drink some hot soup to warm up and rest! ”

Jiang Qin bowed down to receive the order, but did not retire immediately, but bowed down and said to Xiao Tianjian: "There is still one thing to enlighten the marshal, the last time the marshal asked the humiliation to visit the Lushan scholar Niu Jinxing, the subordinates sent to Lushan County by the humiliation have returned, saying that they have found out about him!" ”

Xiao Tianjian frowned after hearing this, and immediately asked, "Oh? So where is this person now? ”

Jiang Qin immediately replied: "The humble post has just received the news that this person provoked a local gentry surnamed Wang in Lushan, defiled his resistance and forcibly occupied the woman, and sued the government, and now he has been arrested by the local government and sentenced to be confiscated into the army, and the place where he confiscated the army is here, if calculated according to time, Niu Jinxing should be on an errand in the county seat of Lu now!" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian immediately stood up, grabbed Jiang Qin's shoulder, and asked urgently, "Is this matter certain?" ”

Jiang Qin was born as a scholar, and his body was a little thin, and he was grabbed by Xiao Tianjian so vigorously, and his shoulder suddenly hurt and made him gasp, so he quickly nodded and said, "The humble position can be determined!" Niu Venus was sent to the local area a month ago, and Lushan is not too far from here, so he should have arrived here a long time ago! After learning the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly chased after him to tell the marshal about it, and hoped that the marshal would quickly send someone here to investigate the whereabouts of this person! ”

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian saw Jiang Qin's teeth soaking coldly, and knew that he was a little out of shape, so he quickly let go of his hand, patted Jiang Qin's shoulder and smiled: "I'm a little anxious, sorry, sorry!" How can it be so coincidental! Just in time for this! Okay, I know about it, you can go down and get some rest! I'll send to find out about him. ”

Looking at Jiang Qin's back, Xiao Tianjian smiled bitterly and shook his head, it was such a coincidence, it just so happened that he came to attack Lushi County, Niu Jinxing happened to be confiscated to be here as an errand, and in the past few days, Lushi County has been in a mess, the rebels are looting and burning in the city, and there are no fewer rebels on his side, in case Niu Jinxing dies here, it will be a big joke!

So he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Tietou to arrange for people to visit this person named Niu Jinxing in the city to see if anyone knew the news of this person, focusing on investigating those officials or errand officers who had been on errands in the Lushi County Ya, and they must find the location of Niu Jinxing, and they must see people alive or dead to see corpses.

Tietou didn't know why Xiao Tianjian attached so much importance to this person surnamed Niu, but he had always resolutely carried out Xiao Tianjian's orders, so he immediately sent guards into the city and began to take the soldiers left behind in the city to investigate in the city.
