Chapter 136: Divide the troops and garrison
、、、、、、、
The news that the Xingtian Army controlled the entire territory of Yangcheng County also quickly spread to the Taiyuan Shanxi Political Division, although Wu Fu was angry, but because Hong Chengchou was now supervising a large number of officials and troops in Henan and fighting with various bandits was in full swing, compared with the situation over there, Hong Chengchou had no time to take care of the affairs of the small Yangcheng County in Shanxi.
And although this matter is not small, but Wu Fu did not dare to report it to the court for his own net worth, after all, at present, the current Holy Emperor Chongzhen is angry because of the fact that the ancestral tomb of their old Zhu family in Fengyang was dug up by the exile army, and even the governor Cao Yunshang Yang Yihe was arrested and imprisoned, and then he was beheaded in the city of Beijing, so if the news of the defeat of the Xingtian Army in Shanxi was reported to Chongzhen at this time, he Wu Fu, the governor, could be regarded as the head.
Therefore, he could only order the states and counties around Yangcheng to strictly guard the Xingtian Army, and not let the Xingtian Army expand further, and the first to bear the brunt was Zezhou, Qinshui, Jiangxian and other places at the junction of Yangcheng County, and Duan Rui, the prefect of Pingyang Prefecture, was also nervous, and after the defeat of Zezhou, he hurriedly mobilized officials and troops in the local states, and Chen Bing was in Jiangxian and Qinshui, and at the same time ordered Jiangxian and Qinshui counties to recruit Xiangyong to assist the defenders to defend the two places, so as not to let the Xingtian Army grab territory anymore.
On the Zezhou side, they also began to recruit Xiangyong again, and at the same time mobilized the guards Chen soldiers in the area of Niuwang Mountain to strictly defend it, for fear that the Xingtian Army would invade Zezhou City.
However, although all the troops were concentrated in various places, they did not dare to easily enter the Yangcheng territory to attack and suppress the Xingtian Army, but they all made a defensive position, after all, Niu Tai was defeated not long ago, with his 4,000 troops, he could not even enter the Yangcheng territory, and he was beaten to a pulp by the Xingtian Army, and these surrounding garrisons and township soldiers naturally did not dare to find trouble with the Xingtian Army again.
Wang Jinsong and the officials of the county government hid in the city all day in fear, for fear that as soon as the Xingtian army freed up their hands, they would go straight to the county seat and take them out of the county seat.
But a lot of newspapers were written, but after they were sent out one by one, they were all sunk in the sea, and sometimes even the messenger of the letter never came back as long as he left the city, and it was estimated that he was either arrested by the Xingtian Army, or after running out, he did not dare to come back, in short, their pleas for help did not receive any results.
Therefore, Wang Jinsong, the magistrate of Yangcheng County, and his group were really like ants on a hot pot during this time, restless and panicked, but at the beginning of May, Wang Jinsong received a message from Xingtianjun, which was more or less stable.
Xiao Tianjian sent Feng Xi into the city again on the second day of the fifth month, and met Wang Jinsong, the magistrate of Yangcheng.
But Feng Xi hurriedly said to Wang Jinsong: "Wang Zhixian, don't worry, and listen to the next words!" Don't spoil the big thing! ”
Wang Jinsong pointed at Feng Xi and scolded: "You thief, you still dare to come to this official, is it difficult to succeed and not afraid that this official will correct you on the spot and the law will not be successful?" You untrustworthy and unrighteous people were originally only entrenched in the south of the county, and would never intrude on the north of the county, but now how do you explain it? ”
Feng Xi hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, don't be angry, we can't blame anything about this matter!" Originally, we said it well, the well water does not interfere with the river water, but the magistrate of the county transferred the official army, and also requisitioned the local villagers, wanting to exterminate our Xingtian army in one fell swoop, how can we sit still and wait for death? The breach of the contract can only be said to be the first to break the contract by the adults, and we are no wonder about this! ”
Wang Jinsong immediately got up again, pointing at Feng Xiqi's face was blue, but Feng Xi hurriedly persuaded him again: "Wang Zhixian don't be angry, and listen to the next word!"
Our general said that since the matter has come to this point, there is no possibility of letting us return to the south of the county, but in the front time, you adults are still cooperating with the face, this time this matter has also been revealed, as long as Wang Zhixian does not have any more trouble, and no longer moves the idea of inviting the army to suppress our Xingtian army, then our general will promise not to capture the county seat of Yangcheng, and allow business travelers to enter the city to do business, and will not cut off the life of the people in the county.
If you can do this, this matter will end for the time being, but if you have to show the head of the owl to the public, then our general also said that he will immediately send troops to attack the county seat of Yangcheng, and as for your lordships, you can only ask for more blessings at that time! Feng Mouyan has come to this point, and it depends on the magistrate of the county where to go! ”
Wang Jinsong is so angry! But after listening to it, he didn't dare to really take this Feng Xi, after all, the Xingtian Army is now powerful, his small Yangcheng County, now there are only less than 200 garrison soldiers and horses, even if the young and strong people in the county are armed to fight, it is only more than 2,000 people, and they are not the opponent of the Xingtian Army at all, Niu Tainiu coaxed with 4,000 soldiers and horses, wasn't it still cleaned up by the Xingtian Army? If he didn't agree to Xingtianjun's request, then if Xingtianjun really turned his face and came to attack the county seat, he asked himself if he had the ability to stop Xingtianjun, so even for the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to really take this Feng Xi.
So in the end, Wang Jinsong had to agree to the conditions of the Xingtian Army, stayed in the city honestly, and let the Xingtian Army control Yangcheng County in his hands, and in return, the Xingtian Army did not attack the county seat, so it stabilized the officials in Yangcheng County.
The overall situation was basically expected by Xiao Tianjian, after the Xingtian Army controlled the entire Yangcheng County, Shanxi officials did not react more violently, but temporarily calmed down, and the Xingtian Army also temporarily stabilized at this time, after the Xingtian Army took a short rest, Xiao Tianjian ordered Li Xuanzhu to move to Xihe Village in the north of the county, using the original Xihe Village originally built a tall wall, after settling in, and then repairing it to form a soldier's tun, There he sat there and guarded the only road between Yangcheng County and Qinshui County, to prevent any officials and troops from attacking the territory of the Xingtian Army from Qinshui County, and to protect the county's northern summer harvest and the progress of field division.
At the same time, he also sent a sentry that originally belonged to Feng Gouzi, so that Jiang Cheng, the deputy sentry who now succeeded Feng Xi, led his troops to Qiaojiazhuang, where Xiao Tianjian had been attacked in the mountains west of Yangcheng, where he held an official road leading to Jiangxian in the west of Yangcheng, and at the same time, he could just control several paths that could go out of the mountain, so that any official army who wanted to enter the Yangcheng territory through the western part of Yangcheng had to pass through here before entering the Yangcheng territory.
As for the east, Xiao Tianjian sent Zhao Erdonkey to lead his troops to a place called Zhangjiazhuang on the east bank of the Qinhe River, which just held the passage from the east of Yangcheng to Zezhou.
The southern part of Yangcheng is a large mountain and deep forest, which is not suitable for a large number of official and military actions, and there are many hunters among the mountain people in the south of the county, once someone wants to sneak into the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army from Yuanqu County, they can't hide from the eyes of these hunters in the mountains alone, so there is no need to garrison troops to defend the southern position of the county
In this way, the Xingtian Army basically firmly controlled several Yangcheng passages to the outside in their hands, once there were a large number of officers and troops in these three directions, the Xingtian Army could find them at the first time, and block the official army from entering the Yangcheng territory, and buy time for the main force to arrive, so that the situation in Yangcheng County quickly stabilized, although there were still individual remnants of the forces in the county to make trouble, but under the attack of Shi Ran, Li Lingfeng, Situ Liang, Wang Chengping and others, It turned out that some of the remaining forces in the north of the county were quickly wiped out, and even those who were not exterminated died down, and they no longer dared to act easily.
