For Xiao Tianjian to stop the practice of continuing to attack, the generals of the Xingtian Army did not understand a little, and felt that the current new defeat of the official army was the time for the Xingtian Army to show its strength, and it was better to simply occupy the entire Shanxi and pull it down, and at least take the southern part of Shanxi, so several important generals gathered in Xiao Tianjian's tent, wanting to ask Xiao Tianjian, why not take advantage of such a good opportunity to go north to Jinzhong or to the west to capture the Jinnan Plain, They all clamored to continue fighting.

Facing this kind of questioning of his generals, Xiao Tianjian looked at Fu Deming who was sitting on his left hand, Fu Deming did not speak, but seemed to be thinking about something, so Xiao Tianjian glanced at his generals lightly, and finally stood up slowly, walked to the map in the big tent, and turned around.

The generals didn't know what Xiao Tianjian wanted to say, so they all focused on the map behind Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at the generals again, and then opened his mouth to ask Fu Deming by name: "Mr. Fu, you brothers can't figure out why I stopped attacking now, so I wonder if Mr. Fu doesn't agree to my arrangement?" ”

After Fu Deming heard this, he immediately understood that Xiao Tianjian was considering his ability to grasp the current situation, so he stood up and cleared his throat and replied: "General Qiqi, I completely agree with the general's arrangement!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? Mr. Fu might as well tell the big guys about it? Xiao Tianjian looked at Fu Deming with his hands behind his back and asked him.

Fu Deming then replied aloud: "The general is wise, if the humble position is good, then the general should have considered the current situation thoroughly!"

Although in the past year, our army has won successive battles here, defeated several official troops, and its strength has developed very rapidly, occupying a lot of territory, but compared with the current strength of our army and the government, there is no more advantage at all!

Whether it is Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng or even Shanxi, there are still a large number of elite officers and soldiers, if they continue to fight, then it will inevitably cause the imperial court to gather more troops and come to encircle and suppress us.

In this way, with the current strength of our army, it may be difficult to have much chance of winning! After all, after two months of fierce fighting, our army has consumed a lot of money, although the generals are brave, but the soldiers are all tired, if you continue to use troops on a large scale, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no loss!

And just now, the generals proposed to go north to Jinzhong or west to the Jinnan Plain, it seems that with the current strength of our army, it is not necessarily impossible, but in the eyes of the next, it is really unwise! ”

When the generals heard Fu Deming say that they were unwise, they were all a little unhappy, and they all looked at Fu Deming, and Xiao Tianjian's brows began to relax slightly, and he nodded and said, "Mr. Fu continued!" Why is it unwise to do so? ”

After Fu Deming smiled bitterly, he raised his leg and walked to the front of the map, picked up a wooden stick from the shelf, pointed it on the map and said: "Everyone, please see, although it is true that Jinzhong and the Jinnan Plain are prosperous and rich places, but this place is close to the land of the imperial court, and we are here now, the reason why we did not attract the imperial court to mobilize more heavy troops to suppress it is precisely because we temporarily live in a corner of southern Jinnan, although the Shanxi government does not want to see us entrenched here, but after all, we are not strong enough to make the imperial court pay special attention to us!"

But if we brazenly enter Jinzhong, then we will directly threaten the Jingshi from the flank, so how can the current imperial court allow us to sit on the side of the couch? I will immediately mobilize all kinds of elite soldiers to attack me! Although our army is brave at that time, how can we stop so many armies?

Looking at the area of southern Jin, at present, we have controlled most of Yangcheng, Yuanqu, Qinshui, and Zezhou, and our power has expanded to Yicheng and Fushan, and this area is mostly a place with many mountains and deep forests, which is suitable for our army's activities, and Jiezhou and Jiangzhou, south of Pingyang Prefecture, have always been the granaries of Shanxi, and the terrain is also a land of Pingchuan. We will definitely send heavy troops to suppress it, and the plains are not like this in our jurisdiction now, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if we can easily take these territories, but once the official army comes to suppress them in a big way, then with our current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold these places!

Therefore, it is not wise to continue to expand now!

What's more, at present, we have occupied a lot of new territory, and we can only say that we have not yet gained a stable foothold in these places, and even the routs and bandits in our current jurisdiction have not yet been cleared, so we continue to seize larger territory from the outside, and it is inevitable that there will be greed for more, so that they will suffer from it!

Therefore, I think that the general is doing this wisely, not cowardly! The general must want to take advantage of this opportunity to firmly control the territory we have gained and continue to accumulate strength!

General, I don't know what the humble post said, but what the general thinks? ”

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian nodded and smiled: "Mr. Fu, who knows me, is also!" Well said! That's a good point! That's exactly what I thought! You guys, you've just won a few battles, and you're getting carried away! I want to eat a bite to become a fat man, and I actually want to use our thousands of troops to take the entire Shanxi in one fell swoop, and your appetite is really big enough!

It's not a bad thing to be belligerent, but you guys also need to know how much appetite we have before we can do it, as the saying goes, if you are greedy, you can't chew it, and if you have a large territory, you will not necessarily have a lot of benefits!

After this period of fierce fighting, there are only five or six thousand people left, plus the mobilized township barracks, which is no more than 10,000 people, but we want to seize more territory, we can fight it, but can we stand up?

You are underestimating the current imperial court, with the current strength of the imperial court, it is far from the time when we can kick him down with one kick, what we need to do now is not to grab as much territory as possible, but to run the place we have occupied as soon as possible!

Also, after two months of war, our ammunition consumption is huge, and the gunpowder that we have stored last year has almost been exhausted. And you guys, you guys, just think about fighting and killing, and don't think about these problems at all!

Moreover, in the past few months last winter and this spring, there has been almost no snow in Shanxi, and the drought has become a foregone conclusion, and the spring drought in our jurisdiction has also shown its signs. Have you ever considered this?

Therefore, we must not do things rashly, we must do everything based on our roots, if we can't even feed the people in our jurisdiction, then who will believe us in the future? Who will follow us against the court? ”

After saying this, Xiao Tianjian's face turned cold, and he glanced at the guys under him angrily.

After Luo Li, Shi Ran, Zhao Erdonkey, and Wang Chengping listened to Xiao Tianjian and Fu Deming's singing, they all gradually began to wake up from the initial frenzy of the big victory, knowing that they were thinking about things too simply, and they also saw that Xiao Tianjian was angry at their short-sightedness, so they all immediately put away their arrogance, lowered their heads, avoided Xiao Tianjian's angry gaze, and didn't dare to continue to fight noisily.

Seeing that these guys were no longer so arrogant, Xiao Tianjian's face slowed down a little, and he said to these guys: "In the past two months, you have also worked hard!" Look at you, almost all of them are wounded, how can I not know why you want to keep fighting? You are also thinking about our Heavenly Army, and I am very pleased with this! However, it is unwise to continue fighting, and what we need to do is to keep the territory firmly in our hands as soon as possible, so that the brothers can rest and prepare for the future battle! What you have to do now is to clear out the remnants of the defeated soldiers and bandits in our jurisdiction as soon as possible, and return the people in our jurisdiction to a clean place! Start spring ploughing as soon as possible, and if you miss the season, don't say anything! We're just going to be gray with our tails between our legs, and we're going to run around like everyone else! Do you have anything else to say? ”

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, these guys had nothing to say, so they immediately stood up together and responded loudly, and then according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, what should they be busy with, but Xiao Tianjian left Feng Gouzi, Wang Chengping and Fu Deming in the tent.
