Chapter 193: Blossoming on All Sides
、、、、、、、
Of course, these are all trivial matters, so I won't repeat them one by one, after Luo Li and Li Xin led their troops to the north, Xiao Tianjian ordered Luo Rucai and Li Xuanzhu to lead the troops to the east and also started to act, the goal was to point directly at the Guide Mansion in the eastern Henan area, so that the two of them led the troops to control the central Henan area in the hands of the Xingtian Army within three months, even if they could not take the Guide Mansion, at least they had to take the area west of the Guide Mansion except for a few counties around Kaifeng Mansion, anyway, in central Henan and eastern Henan, there were not many officers and troops who could fight against the Xingtian Army. With the strength of one of their divisions, plus the replenishment of reserve battalions, it is no longer much of a problem to take these positions.
And Xiao Tianjian sent away Li Xuanzhu and Luo Rucai, so that Liu Bao's fourth division took over the defense of Luoyang, and Liu Bao's fourth division focused on the area of Shaanzhou and Lingbao, and the target was the Shaanxi army under the command of Hong Chengchou in the direction of Tongguan, because although Li Zicheng and other Lu Yijun have been active in Shaanxi recently, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting have to focus their main energy on Shaanxi to deal with them, but Xiao Tianjian can't guess how long Li Zicheng and they can support in Shaanxi and SichuanAt present, the biggest threat to the Xingtian Army is even the hundreds of thousands of Shaanxi soldiers under the command of Hong Chengchou, once Li Zicheng is defeated by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in the near future, Hong Sun and Sun will immediately be ordered to transfer troops out of Tongguan to attack the control area of the Xingtian Army, so it can be said that it is very necessary to arrange for Liu Bao to stay in Luoyang Shaanzhou, at this point, whether it is Niu Jinxing, Li Jinde, or Li Xin and other advisers, there is no objection.
Such a busy June passed quietly, until this moment Xiao Tianjian finally got a little respite, only to remember that he hadn't seen Fan Yutong for half a year, in the past six months, he is still the same as before, as long as he is free, he will think of her, and at the same time, he will also think of the well-behaved Fan Ling'er, and occasionally think of Die'er, who is always smiling and understanding the amorous feelings, as a man in his young age, Xiao Tianjian also has needs, he is also a person, and he is not exempt from vulgarity, but in order to erect a righteous image in the army, He has always been very strict with himself after going down to Henan, whether he lives in the military camp or in some temporary mansions in the city, he only brings a group of guards with him, and does not allow women to be left around to serve, many new heroes who defect to him or officials who defect to him will also give him beautiful women, for this kind of thing, Xiao Tianjian even if he categorically refuses, even if he accepts them, he will also give them to his generals.
And most of the generals are big bosses, give him Xiao Tianjian what to do all day long! Isn't it just a picture of glory and wealth? Women are indispensable, although Xiao Tianjian does not allow them to take them by force, but with their current net worth and status in the Xingtian Army, if they want women, won't someone squeeze through the door and send them to the door? Bullshit monogamy, bullshit feminism, don't mention it in this era, he doesn't want to make a woman turn over for the old men of China in later generations, and let those women in later generations ride on men's heads to make a fortune!
This is a bit farther, in short, Xiao Tianjian can be said to be very self-disciplined in his personal life, and even a little bit of bitterness, but in this way, it makes his military officials admire him even more, and even a reader like Niu Jinxing, whose eyes are on the top of his head, has to secretly talk about this to people many times, expressing his admiration for Xiao Tianjian.
And Xiao Tianjian always persuades himself when he is lonely, now is not the time for him to enjoy, there are too many things waiting for him to do, so it is necessary for him to endure it again, and when he can rest one day, he will be ridiculous and ridiculous, reward himself, now he has Fan Yutong and Fan Ling'er, two lovers to remember, it is enough, but at this time, Xiao Tianjian thought about it, or arranged for someone to return to Jinnan Yang City, and notified Fan Yutong, Let Fan Yutong find a reliable and capable person to hand over some financial affairs related to Jinnan, and after the things in Yangcheng are properly explained, let her bring Fan Linger and others to move from Yangcheng to Luoyang to settle temporarily, after all, the financial stalls in Henan are larger, and Fan Yutong comes over, first, their husband and wife can often meet each other, and the other with Fan Yutong's ability, he can also take care of the financial affairs here for him. In the future, we will take over the financial affairs of the entire Celestial Army's expanding territory.
In the past two months, although the officers and soldiers in the surrounding government-controlled areas will harass the Xingtian Army's controlled areas from time to time, but whenever such a situation occurs, the Guards Division, as the general reserve, will immediately pounce on them and try their best to clean up these guys who dare to pick up the tiger's whiskers.
And Xiao Tianjian also left Luoyang City and led the Guards Division to station in the area of Lushan Wuyang, and at the same time, several reserve battalions were also transferred and began to assemble towards these two places.
The reason why Xiao Tianjian chose this time to lead his troops to the south was because Luo Li, Li Xin, Luo Rucai, and Li Xuanzhu had achieved quite good results in their respective directions.
After Luo Li led his troops north to cross northern Henan, Yan Chongxi of southern Jin also sent a group of generals to send troops from Yangcheng and Zezhou, and took the southernmost Yiguan of the Taihang Eight Paths to cooperate with Luo Li's actions, launched an attack on Yiguan, and made a situation of going out of the pass and entering Huaiqing Mansion, forcing Huaiqing Mansion to mobilize troops to intercept Yan Chongxi's troops in southern Jin from entering the boundary of Huaiqing Mansion, effectively containing the official and military forces of Huaiqing Mansion, and Luo Li and Li Xin followed this opportunity to cross the river into the boundary of Huaiqing Mansion, and first attacked Jiyuan, After sweeping Jiyuan, abandon Jiyuan County without attacking, and then turn around and attack Mengzhou, an official army in Mengzhou tried to intercept them, but then was defeated, Luo Li and Li Xin took advantage of the situation to conquer Mengzhou, conquered Mengzhou soon led the troops to the east into Wen County, Wen County was captured by them in three days, and then waved Wuzhi and Xiuwu two counties, this matter Luo Dai, the general of northern Henan, led four thousand Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion to put together the official army to send troops to Wuzhi, the two sides met in the Qinhe River in Wuzhi County, Luo Dai was defeated and retreated under the first battle, He was chased and killed by Luo Li's division for a long time, and Luo Dai fought to the death, but was caught up by Luo Li's army, and Luo Dai finally died in the army, making the last officer army in northern Henan that was still a little combat effective, and also overturned in Wuzhi County.
In just one month, Luo Li and Li Xin swept the surrounding area of Huaiqing Mansion, at this time Yiguan was also conquered by Yan Chongxi's generals, the two armies met under the city of Huaiqing Mansion, and the prefect of Huaiqing Mansion gathered the remnants of the army to defend Huaiqing Mansion City, and the local surrounding refugees and people came to help the Xingtian Army attack Huaiqing Mansion.
After a few days of fierce fighting, Luo Li and Li Xin finally conquered Huaiqing Mansion at the end of June, slaughtered the officials and generals in the city of Huaiqing Mansion, and took Huaiqing Mansion for Xiao Tianjian. Even to help the Xingtian Army build siege equipment and so on, among which some of Li Xin's uncles and brothers and nephews have contributed a lot, after the news was transmitted back to Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian immediately allowed Li Xin's relatives to help the war to go south to Luoyang, and personally praised them, and then appointed several of Li Xin's relatives exceptionally, and awarded them to the positions of team generals, sentry generals, etc., and assigned them to each army as deputy positions to familiarize themselves with the operation of the Xingtian Army, and reuse them in the future. As for the young ones, there are more than a dozen of them, and they will be sent directly to Yongning Lecture Hall to study, and they will be reused when they turn back, Li Xin is very happy about Xiao Tianjian's arrangement, and personally wrote a letter to Xiao Tianjian to thank him.
And Luo Rucai and Li Xuanzhu's actions in central Henan were also very smooth, after sending troops to take Xuzhou at a very fast speed, and then they waved their troops eastward to defeat Taikang County, and then the two of them saw that there was no official army to cause them trouble, so they simply divided the troops directly, Luo Rucai led a group of men and horses to attack Luyi County, and Li Xuanzhu led the rest of the men and horses to attack Chenzhou, the two echoed each other, and fought in eastern Henan, the officers and soldiers avoided it, and they could not fight them head-on, Only some local landlords and gentry and Zhishi officials, in order to keep their net worth, spent a lot of money to gather some local armed forces to fight against them, but their local armed forces faced the well-trained and well-equipped Xingtian Army, and they were not opponents at all, and along the way they swept no less than dozens of Zhuang Forts that tried to be their enemies, and obtained a large number of seizures, basically did not use the rear to supplement them with any grain, but continued to send a lot of gold and silver and other valuables to Luoyang back and seized, look at this posture, Luo Rucai and Li Xuanzhu should not have a problem in the near future.
Xiao Tianjian also finished dealing with the important matter at hand in Luoyang at this time, so he led his division to start his operation, and the soldiers pointed to Nanyang Mansion at the southwest end of Henan.
