After He Renlong heard the name of the Xingtian Army, he suddenly tightened his heart, because for more than a year, he had not heard the name of the Xingtian Army again, last year when he was surrounded by Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang's soldiers in Longzhou, but he had a solid battle with this Xingtian Army, the battle of Dashiqiao is still fresh in his memory, the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army is also difficult for him to forget, in the case of his military advantage, his subordinates were in the hands of the Xingtian Army, even his own nephew He Fang, they were all captured alive by the Xingtian Army.

Later, for some reason, this Xingtian army fell out with Li Zicheng, and suddenly withdrew from Longzhou City, and released his own nephew He Fang on the way, and then he didn't know where this group of Xingtian army ran to.

Originally, he thought that after this group of Xingtian Army left Longzhou, it was likely that the official army was dispersed somewhere, or it broke up by accident on its own, but after hearing Hong Chengchou's orders today, he knew that this group of Xingtian Army actually turned thousands of miles to fight at the end of last year, and ran all the way to Shanxi and entrenched themselves in Yangcheng County.

And in this year, he has made a lot of trouble in Yangcheng, Shanxi, and has actually lost several battles of the official army in a row, this time he has found his old opponent again, but for the order that Hong Chengchou gave him this time, he didn't know if it was a good thing, but since Hong Chengchou had ordered him to send troops into Shanxi to suppress him, he didn't dare to say a word.

So he hurriedly took Hong Chengchou's general order, and at the same time told Hong Chengchou what he knew about the Xingtian Army.

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou twisted his beard and said with some surprise: "I see! I didn't expect that this Xingtian Army also used to raise troops in Shaanxi! I've even fought against you, so it's so better, no one is more suitable to deal with them than you! I hope you don't live up to the expectations of this official for you, and you will definitely get rid of this gang of thieves! ”

He Renlong hurriedly bowed down and accepted the order, and after returning to his army, he immediately summoned the generals to arrange this matter.

As soon as they heard that they were going to Shanxi to deal with their old rival Xingtian Army this time, all the generals were also slightly nervous in their hearts, but they were all a little excited, although this time they were going to go to Shanxi to fight, but they finally didn't have to run around in Shaanxi, and ran away with the butts of those homeless people, not to mention that this time it was to go to Jiezhou, which is known as the granary of Shanxi, at least it is stronger than Shaanxi, where poor birds don't lay eggs!

Only He Fang's mood was not high, and he didn't say anything after listening to it, after the generals disbanded and began to arrange, He Fang stayed in He Renlong's account and said to He Renlong: "Uncle, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for me to be ordered to go to Shanxi this time, and my nephew also asked my uncle to make plans early!" ”

He Renlong glanced at He Fang, and asked him rhetorically in response to He Fang's reminder: "So you say this, is it because you don't have confidence in us to enter Shanxi to suppress the Heavenly Army this time?" ”

Anyway, after all, it was an uncle and nephew who spoke to each other, and there were no outsiders, so He Fang said to He Renlong: "Don't hide it from uncle, my nephew is really not optimistic about this entry into the Xingtian Army, although we have only fought with the Xingtian Army in Longzhou before, but the nephew has stayed in the Xingtian Army for a long time!"

From what my nephew can see, this Xiao Tianjian is by no means an ordinary person, this person is extremely strict, and the rewards and punishments are clear, and he is also very sympathetic to his generals, and he is very popular with his subordinates!

Moreover, this person acted decisively, was very good at training troops and controlling the army, and his generals were also willing to die in front of the battle, so we suffered such a big loss in the battle of Dashiqiao! Even the nephew ......

After the contact between the nephew and this Xiao Tianjian, the nephew also found that this person acted very differently from ordinary people, from this time they went from Longzhou all the way to the territory of Yangcheng, Shanxi, it can be seen that this person is doing things that are well thought out, this year, although a large number of rebel armies are flowing around, but not a large number of people invade Shanxi, only in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hui, Chu everywhere, and Hong Inspector only led the armies in these provinces to pursue and suppress these rebel armies, but did not pay attention to the situation in Shanxi.

This fang just took advantage of this opportunity and entrenched himself in Yangcheng, Shanxi, and it can be seen that this person has no foreknowledge of major events in the world, at least in terms of viewing the general trend, he also has something extraordinary! Otherwise, as long as he is a normal person, he will unite with King Chuang and their large chaotic army in order to protect himself, but he just wants to take less than 2,000 troops and run to Shanxi alone.

In the past year, judging from the battle report sent by the governor of Shanxi, the Xingtian Army under his command may not be what we encountered in the past, otherwise, with the strength of Shanxi and the support of the border army, how could it not deal with this small Xingtian Army? And right now, Lord Wu won't ask Inspector Hong for help again and again!

So my nephew thinks that we must not be too careless when we go to Shanxi to suppress it this time! With only 5,000 of our soldiers and horses, as a guest army, it will be very difficult to exterminate them! If you are not careful, you may end up in a very miserable end, and I hope that my uncle will think more about how to solve this problem! Otherwise, I am afraid that we will also repeat the mistakes of Shanxi's official army, and we must guard against it! ”

After listening to what He Fang said, He Renlong couldn't help but hesitate, don't look at the lively fight he had with Li Zicheng and their gang of thieves in Shaanxi, but the thieves are just thieves after all, sometimes it seems that there are a lot of people, but most of them are rabble, only a small number of them can be regarded as capable warriors, so really deal with these thieves, he He Renlong is really not very scared, as long as you are careful, don't crash headlong into their encirclement, under normal circumstances, there is not much problem, but to go to Shanxi to deal with the Xingtian Army, What He Fang said is very reasonable.

After all, when facing the Xingtian Army a year ago, the Xingtian Army only had a scale of less than 2,000 people at that time, and it showed strong combat effectiveness, not to mention that now after a year of dormancy in Shanxi, they will definitely not have too few troops, and with He Fang's understanding of that Xiao Tianjian, this person is good at controlling and training troops, and the tactics he uses are also very difficult to deal with, if he only relies on the 5,000 soldiers and horses he currently has on hand to deal with them, he is really not necessarily their opponent.

Nowadays, He Renlong also sees that as long as there are soldiers and generals at hand, then the court will treat them as treasures, if he goes to Shanxi this time to fight out the soldiers on hand, then once he is defeated, what will be the fate waiting for him at that time, He Renlong shuddered when he thought about it.

So he asked He Fang, "Then what should we do with what you see?" ”

He Fang blinked his eyes and said to He Renlong: "Now my nephew doesn't dare to say, but you can test them first, if it doesn't work, then make the procrastination, after all, the weather has cooled down, we can be stationed in Jiezhou, where is the granary of Shanxi, whether it is to raise grain or salary, it is far more convenient than Shaanxi, and after the Hongdu division can draw more troops here, it is not too late to say it!" ……”
