After learning of the movement of the government, the atmosphere in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army became tense, for the generals of the Xingtian Army, this kind of thing is nothing, since they chose to be the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, then they know that they will not share the sky with the government, and the court and the government will not sit idly by and let them sit here, so after learning the news, they didn't react much, the big deal is that the official army is here to fight, So they just had to do what Xiao Tianjian told them to do.

After receiving Xiao Tianjian's order, the officers and men of the third battalion immediately took action, handed over the defense of the control area to the newly appointed chief security chief, and then packed up their bags, and the first team began to drive back to Yangcheng.

However, the common people in these new territories became nervous, and knelt on the road one after another, wanting to stop the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army, telling them not to leave, and to stay and block the officers and soldiers.

In the end, it was the new security chiefs who persuaded the people to leave the road, and the team of the Xingtian Army was able to pass, such a scene was not only staged in Qinshui County, but also in the southern part of Zezhou, which made the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army feel uncomfortable.

After all, this is the territory they have worked so hard to fight, and now they heard that the government is going to attack them on a large scale, so they gave up here and withdrew to Yangcheng, some people can't figure it out, and muttered to their officers why they want to go back, the big deal is to fight with the officials and soldiers here, and they don't believe that the Heavenly Army is powerful, and they can't beat the official army.

The junior officers couldn't answer their questions, so they glared and scolded, "What a fart! Since our general said that let's withdraw to Yangcheng, then let's do things according to the general's orders, where is so much! Hurry up and go for Lao Tzu! If anyone dares to talk nonsense all the way, see if Lao Tzu is not serving with a military stick! ”

The mood fluctuations of the generals in the army naturally knew about the generals of each battalion, so they called a meeting of their junior officers, and the battalion of the second battalion was Luo Li, and this guy scolded his generals loudly at the meeting: "It's like a fucking father!" What has become of it? That's how wars are like, there are advances and retreats, have you forgotten what the general used to tell you bastards? Did the brain let the dog eat it? We are the people of the Xingtian Army, we are soldiers, you know? The general has already told you that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and since the general asked us to withdraw to Yangcheng, then he has his own reasons, don't you guys even believe the general?

Yes, the people don't want us to go, Lao Tzu also saw it, and Lao Tzu is not comfortable! What does this mean? It just shows that we have won the hearts of the people, and the people support us, and now we are withdrawing to Yangcheng, just to have another big showdown with the official army, and the government that does not fight will tremble when it mentions the name of our Xingtian Army, and they will come to provoke us at every turn in the future! Go back and tell your subordinates, cheer up Lao Tzu, we are now playing triumphantly, not fucking losing the battle and going back, if anyone mutters again, it will be nonsense! Look at Lao Tzu not to pick his skin! ……”

In this way, the dissatisfied voices in the army were immediately suppressed, and some people may not be convinced by what others said, but what Xiao Tianjian said, there are few people in the Xingtian Army who are not convinced, after all, from the formation of the Xingtian Army to the present, in the past two years, large and small battles, the Xingtian Army has almost never tasted defeat, since their officer said that this is Xiao Tianjian's order, then Xiao Tianjian has his own reason for giving such an order, and it must be right, so these generals who don't understand why they withdraw their troops have nothing to fart, So the mood also recovered, and he began to sing all the way and embarked on the road back to Yangcheng.

Since the government began to show signs of vigorously attacking the Xingtian Army, the activities of the sentinels and meticulous work on both sides around the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army began to become intensive, after all, in many local areas controlled by the government and the areas controlled by the Xingtian Army, there was an open space, and no one could really stop the other party's meticulous activities.

However, the establishment of the Xingtian Army's township corps has restricted the activities of the government to a certain extent, especially in the area of Yangcheng County that has been controlled by the Xingtian Army for a relatively long time, and the township soldiers in various townships and villages are very vigilant, so that it is difficult for the government to send the fine work to enter the core area of Yangcheng close to several strongholds of the Xingtian Army, so it is difficult for the government to grasp many confidential matters of the Xingtian Army.

However, the fine work of the Xingtian Army, through Feng Gouzi's busy work for more than half a year, has begun to penetrate into all parts of Shanxi, and even has penetrated into Henan and Shaanxi, in which the Fan family's contribution can be regarded as indispensable, and many of the fine works of the Xingtian Army are basically placed in various places through the Fan family's caravan.

As time passed, all kinds of information continued to feed back to the Xingtian Army from all over the country, and then sent to Xiao Tianjian's desk through Feng Gouzi, and the official army's plan for attacking and suppressing gradually became clear.

This time, Hong Chengchou and Wu Fu mobilized almost most of the forces at hand, intending to wipe out the Xingtian Army from the ground in Shanxi in one fell swoop, not only sending He Renlong's 5,000 soldiers and horses, but also mobilizing 15,000 soldiers and horses from all over Shanxi and the border town guards, and handed them over to Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and the general Hu Dawei, who were divided into two routes, from Fushan and Lu'an Mansion to the area controlled by the Xingtian Army, Xu Dingguo mainly attacked Qinshui County, and Hu Dawei mainly attacked the southern part of Zezhou.

Not only that, after receiving the unfavorable news of He Renlong's attack on Yuanqu County, Hong Chengchou also freed up part of his troops because Li Zicheng and other large groups of rebels rushed into Henan, and sent Zuo Guangxian, the deputy commander-in-chief, to increase his troops from Shaanxi to Jiangzhou, and He Renlong echoed to attack Yuanqu and Yangcheng.

In order to coordinate the attack of the four soldiers and horses on the Xingtian Army, Hong Chengchou specially ordered Wu Fu to personally sit in Pingyang Mansion to coordinate and supervise the actions of the four soldiers and horses.

And that's not all, Wu Fu also mobilized more than 10,000 people from Pingyang Mansion and Lu'an Mansion to cooperate with the officials and troops of all walks of life to attack and suppress the Xingtian Army, so that the government gathered nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses in the southern part of Shanxi alone to deal with the Xingtian Army entrenched in the southwest of Shanxi.

After finding out the strength of the official army, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but secretly feel a little worried, this time the government can be said to have pulled out all the soldiers and horses at the bottom of the box in Shanxi, just to deal with him Such a righteous army, it can be seen that his Xingtian army has become one of the thorns in the side of the imperial court, and he will never give up if he does not get rid of it.

On November 13, the generals of the battalion once again gathered in the Lotus Village Gathering Hall, when the generals returned to the Lotus Village, as soon as they entered the Gathering Hall, they found that in the center of the Gathering Hall, a huge table was placed.

However, the things on this table made them feel a little surprised, and they saw that on this table, there were ravines and mountains made of stones and earth, and they could roughly guess at a glance that it was the terrain of a place, and there were many small flags planted on it, so they gathered around this big table to watch.

"Huh? What's new? How I look at it, this is a bit like the terrain of Yangcheng and the surrounding area! Look, isn't this the county seat of Yangcheng? Here...... This is Zezhou City, this is Qinshui County, and here...... Isn't this the county seat of Yuanqu? Hey! And here, here is our lotus village, here and here...... Dongye Town, Shuangfeng Village, Black Dragon Village! Wow! Good stuff! Who got this? In this way, it is much more convenient than looking at a map! Yan Chongxi lay on the table and exclaimed.

Luo Li and the others also gathered around this big table, praising and calling this thing a good thing.

At this time, the iron head shouted outside the justice hall: "The general has arrived!" ”

All the generals immediately retreated to the sides, stood straight and shouted, "Welcome to the general!" At the same time, they all made a standard salute with their right hands in a fist to their chests.

Xiao Tianjian put on a strong suit, strode into the righteous hall, raised his hand and waved: "No courtesy!" Then he strode over to the side of the large table in the middle of the hall, and stood beside it.

"You've had a hard time! Come around! This thing is called the combat sand table, I just arranged someone to make it, and it is still very rough, and I can only mark the general terrain and important locations! Let's make do with it first! There's time to go back and work on it a little more! After Xiao Tianjian stood still, he said loudly to the generals.

Sandbox? This is a new thing, Xiao Tianjian is really a new thing, and he will surprise people from time to time, so the generals immediately put down their hands, gathered next to this sand table again, and began to focus on the sand table, waiting for Xiao Tianjian to speak.

After Xiao Tianjian cleared his throat, he took a baton from the iron head, held it with both hands, glanced at the generals who were in the dust, and said to them: "I think everyone knows the reason for recruiting you back this time, yes, this time the government is going to jump over the wall in a hurry, according to the intelligence we have collected, this time the official army has mobilized nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, wanting to completely wipe us out of this place in Shanxi!" ……”

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but gasp, 40,000 soldiers and horses, just to deal with their Heavenly Army? That's a lot of troops! Each of them also knows what the strength of the Xingtian Army is, if you don't bring the baggage battalion and the new barracks, it is more than 4,000 people, and the strength of the two sides has almost reached ten to one, which is a bit too much!

Xiao Tianjian glanced at the expressions on the faces of the generals again, and after a slight pause, he asked them lightly, "What?" Did it scare you? Just hearing this number, do you get scared? ”

When Xiao Tianjian asked him like this, the generals couldn't hold it on their faces, so they all straightened up and shouted: "Don't be afraid!" If you're afraid of him, what are the officers and soldiers, come and kill one by one, what are you afraid of them doing? ……”

"Good! That's what I want to hear! Fear before the battle is a taboo for soldiers, I don't want you people to hear the news, you will be scared first, if that's the case, then this battle has not started, we will lose half of it first! As long as you don't have fear in your hearts, then this will be easy to do, and no matter how many officers and soldiers come, we don't have to worry too much about anything! What is the name of our Heavenly Army? Xingtian Dance is a dry relative, and the fierce ambition is always there! I hope everyone still remembers! ”

"Yes!" The generals immediately shouted loudly, and the expressions on their faces immediately relaxed.

(I'm sick like this, and I still insist on renewing, don't the brothers reward both?) It can be regarded as encouragement! Hehe! This month's reward is not powerful! ）
