(I made a mistake yesterday, so much so that I'm embarrassed to ask the big guy for a red ticket today!) Alas! ）

When Duan Youzhi, the prefect of Fengxiang, learned the news that Lijiazhuang was broken by bandits, even if he was surprised, Duan Youzhi did not know the power of the Li family, this time the Li family repeatedly sent people to Fengxiang Mansion to ask him for help, but he really had no soldiers at hand, most of the officers and troops left behind by Fengxiang Wei were guards, and they were not able to be used at all, and the last time he sent Ding Baoquan to Huangyang was an example.

So when Duan Youzhi was still thinking about how to deal with this problem, the news that Lijiazhuang was broken came over, which made Duan Youzhi even a little panicked.

A few days ago, news came from the official face that a large number of rebellious troops had strayed into the Carriage Gorge and had been blocked by officials and soldiers from all walks of life in the Carriage Gorge, and they could not advance or retreat.

You must know that once the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops rush out of the Shangluo area and enter the hinterland of Shaanxi, it can be called a disaster for the government in various parts of Shaanxi, which has already been ruined by natural and man-made disasters, and there are displaced people everywhere who have no way to make a living, and the government is simply unable to appease them, so that there are so many displaced people that it has made it difficult for the government to contain the momentum.

A large number of rebellious troops were originally in Shaanxi, the first few years in Shaanxi made a lot of smoke, officials are often killed, they are scholars, it is not easy to get a fame, is to be an official to make a fortune, but not to come out to be cut down, the righteous army from the initial attack on some large Zhuangzi, developed to attack the county seat and even the state capital, the year before last was finally suppressed by the official army, a large number of officers and troops were driven out of Shaanxi, to Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places, but this year was chased back to Shaanxi by the official army, so that The government in Shaanxi was so nervous that it reached the point of rumors.

At present, I just saw that a large group of bandits like Gao Yingxiang finally had the possibility of being wiped out, but at this time, he pressed the gourd to float the scoop, and there was such a big group of bandits in Huangyang, which is close to Fengxiang Mansion, if this so-called Xingtian Army develops, it will become a big trouble sooner or later.

Duan Youzhi couldn't sit still anymore, he naturally knew the background of the Li family, as a magistrate, although his grade was not low, but after all, the son of the Li family was a Beijing official, once he learned that his Li family was broken by bandits, he would definitely not say good things about him in the capital, so he had to solve this matter as soon as possible, and it could be regarded as a move to make amends, so as not to end up with a person who was held accountable and dismissed.

But Duan Youzhi also has his own difficulties, now the officers and troops in Shaanxi have been transferred to the Shangluo area to suppress bandits, he has very limited troops at hand, only a small number of Fengxiangwei officers and soldiers, and then some local soldiers in Fengxiang, there is no ability to mobilize a large army to go to Huangyang to suppress bandits.

So after Duan Youzhi thought about it for a while, he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately wrote a report to report the matter to Chen Qiyu, because he knew very well that at this time, Chen Qiyu was arranging a large number of bandits such as thieves in the Shangluo area, Chen Qiyu was the governor of the five provinces, in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses of the five provinces, and he had a group of fierce generals such as He Renlong available, and He Renlong was stationed in Longzhou at this time, and there were thousands of soldiers under his command, which was the closest to Huangyang, and it was just right to transfer him into Huangyang to suppress the Heavenly Army, Duan Youzhi invited Chen Qiyu, Quickly adjust the congratulations to the dragon to enter Huangyang to suppress the bandits.

This news was quickly sent to Chen Qiyu's camp by the messenger, but this matter did not attract Chen Qiyu's attention, after all, Chen Qiyu is now the well-known governor of the five provinces, and he is not familiar with the Li family in this small Huangyang.

In Chen Qiyu's view, no matter how big the matter is now, it is not as big as the matter of these mutant army surrounded in the carriage gorge in front of him, from his appointment at the beginning of the year to the present, it has been more than half a year since he chased these mutant army, and today he finally blocked this group of mutant army in the carriage gorge, and finally saw the dawn that Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and other bandits can be completely wiped out, where is he in the mood to pay attention to the small group of bandits far away in the area of Huangyang!

What's more, there are now many small bandits in Shaanxi, if the local government asks him to send troops to suppress it, I am afraid that he will not be able to be busy even if he has three heads and six arms, in his opinion, it is just a large Zhuangzi was broken by a small group of bandits, as long as he exterminates Gao Yingxiang and other bandits as soon as possible, the small bandits in this place will not be a problem, and then change hands to clean them up, that is, it is a matter of hand-to-hand capture.

Therefore, Chen Qiyu did not pay attention to the Chen newspaper sent by Duan Youzhi, the prefect of Fengxiang, but just approved it casually, and ordered Duan Youzhi to contact He Renlong on his own to suppress it on the spot.

Duan Youzhi waited for a few days in Fengxiang Mansion, and finally looked forward to Chen Qiyu's reply, knowing that Chen Qiyu might not have time to take care of this matter, but Chen Qiyu didn't care, but it didn't mean that he could not care, he was the prefect of Fengxiang, once the situation continued to expand, then he would definitely be to blame, and when the time came, he might end up with a disgraced official and dismissal, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately wrote another book, and sent someone to send it to He Renlong in Longzhou as soon as possible, inviting He Renlong to send troops out of Longzhou into Huangyang as soon as possible, and cooperated with him to attack the Xingtian Army, and promised that the food and salary required for this use of troops would be borne by Fengxiang Mansion.

After sending people to leave Fengxiang Mansion, Duan Youzhi also began to get busy, and immediately summoned his officials to discuss the matter of mobilizing troops and horses to suppress the Heavenly Army.

Although Fengxiang Mansion is currently short of troops, but this matter is very important, Duan Youzhi also heard that a large number of mutant troops were surrounded in the carriage gorge, so he privately thought that Fengxiang Mansion would not have a big problem in a short time, so he ordered Fengxiang Mansion to produce a group of village warriors among a group of large households under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Mansion, and from Fengxiang Weidong put together a thousand officers and soldiers, raised a batch of food and salary to distribute, a total of nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized, handed over to Fengxiang to garrison Yang Luting, June 30 out of Fengxiang Mansion, mighty towards the direction of Wangyang.

And He Renlong directly threw it aside after receiving Duan Youzhi's handwritten letter, he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing, Huangyang was not his jurisdiction in the first place, and now the officers and soldiers under his command are only less than 2,000 people, and the garrison in Longzhou is already stretched, where are the troops transferred to Wangyang to suppress bandits!

What's more, as soon as the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first, and there is still money to be distributed, his soldiers have not seen the salary for four months, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, now let him lead the troops out to suppress the bandits, he can't take out this money, Duan Youzhi said it soundly, the matter of food and salary will be solved by Fengxiang Mansion, but he doesn't believe that Duan Youzhi will give him much food and salary, so this kind of thing still makes Duan Youzhi have a headache by himself!

Xingtianjun didn't stay in Lijiazhuang for long, so he left Lijiazhuang and escorted a large number of supplies back to Tianlong Village.

After counting the materials obtained, what could be taken away was taken away, and all the food that could not be taken away was distributed to a large number of displaced people who rushed to hear the wind, and four or five thousand displaced people gathered in Lijiazhuang for a while.

When the Xingtian Army raised troops and left Lijiazhuang, countless homeless people knelt on both sides of the road and kowtowed to thank them, which made the officers and soldiers of the Xingtian Army very proud.

Fu Deming also admired Xiao Tianjian's generous distribution of the Li family's grain, in such a troubled world, many poles were reluctant to distribute them to these homeless people once they obtained the grain, but Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and thousands of stones of grain were scattered by him, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly a bit of a loser's style in the eyes of some people.

But Xiao Tianjian sneered: "Since we can't eat these things and can't take them away, what's the use of keeping them?" Could it be that we live in this Lijiazhuang, and we can't go after eating here? These things are just things outside the body, so it is better to leave them to live a little longer! ”

This time, the Xingtian Army also took advantage of the situation to recruit a group of recruits among the displaced people again, and because the number of displaced people is very large, the quality of the recruits recruited is quite good, and Xiao Tianjian insists on taking the line of elite soldiers, and does not want the old and weak, and only accepts 500 people to limit the number of conscriptions, so the newly recruited 500 recruits are all healthy men, and the vast majority of them are honest farmers, among which there are also a small number of officers and soldiers who deserted, which greatly supplemented their losses in battle this time. Moreover, the strength of the Xingtian Army and recruits has expanded to more than 1,300 people, and the number of soldiers has also expanded to about 400 people.

By the way, Xiao Tianjian also sheltered dozens of various craftsmen among this group of displaced people, and also brought them back to Tianlongzhai with the army, among these craftsmen there are blacksmiths, carpenters and leather craftsmen, which are exactly what he is short of manpower at present.

After taking inventory, this time they seized tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold from Lijiazhuang, and also seized nearly 5,000 stone of grain, in addition to distributing a batch to the displaced people, they also loaded and transported nearly 2,000 stone of grain, which was enough for them to maintain for a considerable period of time, in addition to seizing dozens of pairs of various armors, all kinds of knives, guns, boring palladium, hook guns, knives and sticks, and axes hundreds of them, which greatly improved the current situation of the lack of weapons in the Xingtian Army.

Of course, the biggest harvest is not only these things, after they captured Lijiazhuang, they also captured five tiger squat cannons at the same time, the ridiculous thing is that they also seized two old-fashioned bowls cast during the Hongwu period, this kind of old-fashioned thing actually doesn't know where the Li family got it from, the simple one can really be sent to the museum for exhibition, but it is undeniable that for the guard, this thing is still very useful, for the lack of artillery, although this thing is broken, But they still got into their pockets.

In addition to artillery, they also captured seven guns, thirty-seven bird guns, thirty-one old-fashioned guns, eighteen three-eyed guns, and hundreds of pounds of gunpowder.

As for other materials, there are a lot of things that Xiao Tianjian urgently needs, in the Li family's warehouse, they also copied out two or three thousand catties of pig iron wrought iron, and also copied a considerable number of various bronze and iron tools from the Li family's home, these things naturally Xiao Tianjian will not discard, loaded into the car in one go, and transported back to Tianlong Village to build more weapons for use.

In short, this trip to Lijiazhuang, although Xingtianjun paid the price of nearly 100 lives, but the harvest was great, and it was beyond everyone's expectations, it can be said that the money was a lot of money, and everyone was satisfied.
