As soon as Feng Gouzi heard Xiao Tianjian mention his name, Feng Gouzi immediately stood up and replied: "General Qiyu, this matter is absolutely true, the humble post has just received a detailed report from the Zezhou side, saying that the Zezhou government has begun to take action, and is preparing grain and straw and large households from the Zezhou area, so that they can gather the villagers to Zezhou to obey the order, and come to us with the official army to ask us!"

Part of the official army was transferred from Taiyuan, and the other part was mobilized by the local guard in Zezhou, with a strength of about 2,000 people, plus the general strength of Xiangyong will not exceed 4,000, and the leader of the team is said to be a guerrilla surnamed Niu, which is also the largest force that the Zezhou government can use at present!

As for the government of Yangcheng County, they were instructed to organize Xiangyong and grain to support the official army's attack on us, and the officials in Yangcheng County were not very interested in this matter, but under the pressure of the upper peak, now they are also summoning Xiangyong from several large villages in the north of the county to assemble in the county seat, and it would be good to be able to gather a thousand people! ”

Xiao Tianjian was very satisfied after hearing this, and he was still very pleased with the decision to hand over the matter of collecting intelligence to Feng Gouzi this time, this guy is indeed more suitable for doing this thing.

He touched the beard on his chin and groaned slightly, nodded and let Feng Gouzi join the ranks, then glanced at his generals, and smiled at them: "It seems that Gao Yingxiang and they are making trouble in Nanzhili and Henan and Huguang are not light, and the strength of the officers and troops in Shanxi will be recruited to Henan by Hong Chengchou in large numbers after the year, and now they are coming to deal with us, but they can only mobilize such a few people, and the two places together are less than 5,000 people, it seems that it is not too difficult to repel them!" ”

Originally, after hearing about this, the generals were a little nervous, for fear that the government would send too many officers and soldiers, and they would be difficult to parry, but after listening to Feng Gouzi and Xiao Tianjian's words, they suddenly relaxed.

Speaking of which, there are 5,000 imaginary numbers in the official army, in fact, the real official army is only about 2,000 people, some of which belong to the Weisuo army, and the rest are a rabble composed of some village warriors, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not much better.

And these two thousand people can be said to basically belong to the soldiers, the new battalion on the side of Shuangfeng Village to this time, basically all of them have met the requirements of the soldiers, and some of them have been split and supplemented to the sentinels, so that each sentry has reached the full strength of 300 people, and the weaker group of the remaining 400 recruits was assigned to Dongye Town and the mine, responsible for strengthening the garrison there, and there is also a group of people who stayed in Shuangfeng Village, these people set up a separate guard in the town of Sentinel, responsible for the defense of several important places on weekdays, On weekdays, he also took over the task of patrolling and setting up cards at the crossing, and liberated the soldiers to take turns to go out to collect food or take turns to rest.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian only needs to gather his troops at the moment, except for the defenders of that outpost town, he can mobilize a full 2,000 troops with just the soldiers at hand.

Don't look at five thousand versus two thousand, the government has an advantage in numbers, but in fact, the Xingtian Army's side will not be scared of them at all, on the contrary, the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army's side will definitely be much stronger than that of the official army, which is also the reason why the generals immediately relaxed after hearing this.

"So that's just the case, since the officers and soldiers are coming, then we don't have anything to say, let's go up and beat them back! Isn't it just a mere 2,000 officers and soldiers plus less than 3,000 villagers? They underestimate us too much! After hearing this, Luo Li immediately said with a smile.

The rest of the people also showed relaxed smiles, and they all echoed that they would teach the officials and soldiers a lesson, so that they knew that they knew the power of the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian laughed after thinking for a while, and said to them: "The brothers are right, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, since the Shanxi government is not happy with us and wants to pull us up from here, then we will not be polite to them this time, knock and knock them, let them know that we are powerful!"

At present, the spring sowing in our area has just ended, Mr. Fu and they are still busy organizing the people to repair the canal, and Dongye Town has not yet been repaired, and the wall project of Shuangfeng Village is also about to be finalized.

In my opinion, the best defense is to attack, I think we can't defend the village this time, and don't wait for them to come to our land to start fighting again, let's just strike first, go in the direction of Zezhou, and directly retract them, and delay our affairs! What do you guys think? ”

The generals nodded again and again when they heard it, for so long, they all met the officers and soldiers walking around, only going to fight some Zhuangzi, and pretending to be ordinary poles for small fights, it was really uncomfortable to be aggrieved, and the drills of the Xingtian Army were mainly field battles, so tossing made these generals of the Xingtian Army a little dissatisfied, and they had long wanted to fight a serious battle, so Xiao Tianjian mentioned that he wanted to meet and knock on the officers and soldiers head-on, and none of the generals had any opinions, and they said that there was no problem, they finally laid down this field, I don't want the officers and soldiers to come here to cause trouble.

Xiao Tianjian saw that his subordinates agreed to his proposal, so he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then this matter is decided, okay, this matter is decided today, Liu Bao listens to the order!" ”

Liu Bao immediately stood up and said loudly: "The end will be!" ”

"This time I personally led the team to fight, you and Diao Zheng took the rest of the people to stay here, mainly to monitor the movements of Yangcheng County, I don't plan to let these townsmen in Yangcheng County and the officers and troops in the direction of Zezhou converge this time, after I lead the troops away, you gather three hundred remaining brothers, watch the county, if that Wang Zhixian doesn't know what to do, and sends people to enter our territory to cause trouble, don't be polite to them, give me a beating of them, and Feng Gouzi will make a note for me, this time there are any big local families who send township Yong to help fight, Let's settle accounts with them! Xiao Tianjian instructed Liu Bao.

Liu Bao and Diao Zheng, who had just been promoted by Xiao Tianjian from the barracks, hurriedly nodded and received the order, although their three hundred town soldiers were not as effective as the battle team, but there was no problem in dealing with the seven or eight hundred township warriors in Yangcheng, and Feng Gouzi also came out with a smile to receive the order, saying that he had arranged for Feng Xi to investigate the news, and if the local big family dared to send the township warriors to help in the battle, they would definitely not be able to run away from them.

Then Xiao Tianjian continued: "It's been a long time since I've been in a serious fight, and I guess you guys should have itchy hands!" You must know that this is the first battle we have to fight with the official army in a dignified manner after we get a foothold in Yangcheng County, if this battle is fought well, those bad breeds who dare to protect us around are scared!

Don't say anything else, let's go down and prepare, listen to my instructions and be ready to go at any time! ”

The generals immediately responded with a bang, and then turned around and walked out of the Gathering Hall, each returning to his camp, and began to beckon his men to get ready to go.

And Feng Gouzi was left behind by Xiao Tianjian, and continued to instruct him: "You have worked hard in the past few days, send people to keep an eye on the movements of the officials and troops in Zezhou, and once they start to send troops, they will immediately report the news back, and we will block them out of our jurisdiction before they arrive, too early or too late!" ”

Feng Gouzi smiled: "General rest assured! The lowly post has already sent more than ten more people in the direction of Zezhou, and equipped them with horses, and as soon as there is news, Pegasus will report back! According to the humble position, with the speed of the mobilization of the officers and soldiers, they will not set off for a few days, the officers and soldiers will not be able to get the money, they will not set off easily, and they have to extort those big families along the way, here is nearly a hundred miles, even if they set off, at least they will have to walk for at least three or four days to reach Yangcheng County, so the general does not have to worry about us not being able to meet them in time! But this time, it seems that the lowly position has no chance to participate in the war, and it feels a pity to think about it! ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled and patted Feng Gouzi's shoulder and said, "You kid, don't be cheap and be good!" I see that you are doing this in full swing, so don't think about everything anymore! In fact, think about it, what you are doing now is much more important than what you did before, the life and death of the Xingtian Army are almost in your hands, don't underestimate what you do! ”

Feng Gouzi smiled and said: "This lowly position knows, otherwise the lowly position would not be so energetic!" Hehe! The general can rest assured, I will go to Dongye Town to wait for the news, and as soon as there is a disturbance in Zezhou and the county seat, I will immediately send someone to send the news back! The general is ready to go out with his troops! ”
