Chapter Eighty-Nine: Swinging the Commander South
In this way, Xiao Tianjian's arrangements in the early years finally played a huge role at this point, coupled with a long period of publicity, so that the people in Shanxi were full of expectations for the Xingtian Army, and even some officers and soldiers, after meeting the Xingtian Army, simply surrendered to the Xingtian Army, and turned around and became the members of the Xingtian Army.
The common people have long known the reputation of the Xingtian Army, plus a gust of wind (Wang Chengping) and the black wolf (Li Lingfeng) have long had a righteous name in northern Jin, when the two of them officially announced that they were the Xingtian Army, the defectors can be said to be like the tide, and the people in many places in northern Shanxi took the initiative to provide them with support, help them lead the way, and even help them attack some strong forts and villages. forced Chen Xinjia, who had just arrived at Xuanda to take up his post, had to lead Xuanda soldiers and horses to Shuozhou to attack it.
It's a pity that Chen Xinjia's ability is limited, and because of Lu Xiangsheng's relationship, Xuan Dabing respects Lu Xiangsheng very much, this time Chen Xinjia was transferred to the governor of Xuanda, and after replacing Lu Xiangsheng, he first divided most of Lu Xiangsheng's troops in the Jingfu area, and then constrained Lu Xiangsheng everywhere, and at the same time, he also did not save Lu Xiangsheng when he saw death, which made some people in Xuandabing quite dissatisfied with him.
In addition, when Lu Xiangsheng assigned troops to Chen Xinjia, he handed over more than half of the Tianxiong Army he had set up to Chen Xinjia, and the old department of the Tianxiong Army looked down on Chen Xinjia these days, not to mention that they all knew the true intention of Lu Xiangsheng's death, and also knew that when Lu Xiangsheng was in the most danger, none of the court officials helped him, so that in the end, Lu Xiangsheng was "defeated", and only the Xingtian Army broke into the battlefield at the most dangerous time and helped Lu Xiangsheng and their robes. rescued a lot of Xuanda soldiers, and some of these people later returned to the Xuanda area, and everyone knew about this matter.
So this time Chen Xinjia sent Xuan soldiers into Shuozhou to attack the Xingtian Army under Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng, these Xuan soldiers will mostly follow the yang and the yin, just promise is not to do anything, follow the Xingtian Army in circles from afar, that is, do not fight with the Xingtian Army, and even secretly sent people to contact Wang Chengping and them, claiming that they were forced to come, and had no intention of opposing the Xingtian Army, the two sides tried not to have misunderstandings, everyone went their own way, and no one should have seen the other party pull down.
So on the battlefield in the Shuozhou area, there was a strange thing that the Xingtian Army and the official army staggered by, not only did not move with each other, but also raised their hands to say hello, as if they were friends.
And now the generals in the Ming Dynasty have formed their own warlord groups, compared to the early years of the era of the noble and lowly military, now the control of the civilian officials over the military generals is very low, in the early years they can call the generals to and fro, and even face insults to the military attachés, but at this time, the civil officials have to compromise the generals, and even ask them lowly, so although Chen Xinjia is the governor of Xuanda, but the control of the generals under his command is very limited, speaking of Shuozhou is very close to Xuanda, He also worked very hard, but he just couldn't stop Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng's gang of Xingtian Army from "wreaking havoc" in the northern Jin Dynasty.
Xiao Tianjian in Kaifeng Mansion after the siege, in Kaifeng Mansion left Liu Bao to sit in town, now with the expansion of the territory, the original force on the one hand to expand externally, on the other hand, but also to divide the troops to garrison, obviously is not enough, after Xiao Tianjian has decided to go south strategy, the entire Henan defense matter, Xiao Tianjian was handed over to Liu Bao to be responsible, and Liu Bao's original fourth division was renamed Henan Town Army, under the maintenance of the original strength, Henan around the reserve battalion, also accept Liu Bao's dispatch, At the same time, on the basis of the original strength, it has also been doubled, so that it can maintain the ability to resist the officers and troops in several directions, of course, the soldiers and horses and reserve battalions required by Xiao Tianjian to lead his troops to the south will be transferred by Xiao Tianjian first.
Just when Xiao Tianjian gathered Luo Li's Second Division and the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo to go south to the area of Runing Mansion, Xiao Tianjian got a good news from Luoyang's family, Fan Ling'er, one of the wives and concubines who had not seen movement for a long time, was actually pregnant!
This is a huge surprise for Xiao Tianjian, even happier than when he captured Kaifeng, after learning the news, Xiao Tianjian sat in the big tent and smirked for five minutes, the whole face was so smiling that he couldn't see his teeth, even Tietou and Li Xin, the people around them learned the news, they were also happy for Xiao Tianjian, and felt that this matter was not only a good thing for Xiao Tianjian, but also a great thing for the entire Xingtianjun, at least for their interest group, There is already a reserve inheritor, and this interest group can also be more united, if Fan Ling'er can give birth to a boy for Xiao Tianjian this time, then it will be even better, so after learning about it, the generals congratulated Xiao Tianjian one after another.
Xiao Tianjian was happy for a while, only after recovering from the surprise, and immediately wrote a letter to Fan Yutong and Fan Ling'er, in which he stated his excitement, and at the same time comforted Fan Yutong, after all, Fan Yutong is a wife, but he did not conceive his child first, so that Fan Ling'er came out on top, in the letter he hoped that Fan Yutong would not be sad, and after he returned to the teacher this time, he would definitely work harder, and Fan Yutong would also fulfill his wish, and at the same time let Fan Linger take good care of his body. Strive to give birth to a healthy baby.
As for Fan Ling'er being pregnant with a boy and a girl this time, Xiao Tianjian really didn't think too much about it, as long as the child was healthy, he was happy, anyway, it is fully explained now that he has no problem, if he wants a child in the future, there will definitely be one, at least he came to this world, he already has roots, and he will not be a hundred years later, he has been without a trace, I hope that his parents in another world can also be happy for him.
After seeing Xiao Tianjian's means of training troops, Lao Huihui and several other people admired Xiao Tianjian even more, and they all understood that this thing that won the world had nothing to do with them, and they all died of the self-respecting thoughts in their hearts.
In the Xingtianjun group, there is no group like the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, so when Xiao Tianjian decided to leave Liu Bao to sit in Henan, Xiao Tianjian took He Yilong out first in the name of He Yilong as a supplement, and the generals under his command also stayed in Kaifeng and handed over to Liu Bao to be responsible for the reorganization.
At the same time, Xiao Tianjian took the soldiers and horses under the command of Liu Yaoben and Situ Liang, plus the guard battalion under the command of Tietou, and set up a guard division directly under him outside Kaifeng City, and Lao Hui Hui This person is loyal, after contacting Xiao Tianjian, he was left in the guard division and served as the deputy commander of the guard division, for Xiao Tianjian's arrangement, Lao Huihui is very happy, at least he knows that he can be left in the guard division, which represents Xiao Tianjian's value and trust in him, as a new recruit, get this position, It was very rare for him, so he thanked Xiao Tianjian again and again, and took the initiative to ask for the reorganization of the soldiers and horses under his command according to the rules of the Xingtian Army.
After the reorganization, the nearly 5,000 men and horses brought by Lao Huihui were eliminated and nearly 3,000 were removed, leaving only 2,000 honest and pertinent young men, who were scattered and mixed with Liu Yaoben's two iron battalions, and finally made the Guards Division have five regular battalions, two cavalry battalions, and a super-reinforced division with reinforced artillery battalions.
As for He Jin, Liu Xiyao, and Lin Yangcheng, after missing Lao Huihui and He Yilong, He Jin was ordered to be placed under Li Xuanzhu, and Lin Chengcheng was placed under Luo Li.
Although they all know why they are dismantled by the Fifth Battalion of the Left Left, they have nothing to say, after all, Xiao Tianjian also asked them to lead the troops, but the position given to them is not low, as long as they work hard, they will definitely have a future in the future, and now Luo Rucai is also working very energetically under Xiao Tianjian? With Luo Rucai's example, the people of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution have nothing to say.
Xiao Tianjian has digested the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo into the Xingtian Army system through repeated transfers, and now the time is still short, and after a year and a half, I believe that the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo will be completely integrated into his Xingtian Army system.
When Xiao Tianjian arrived in Nanyang, he saw the empty and dilapidated Nanyang City, as well as the tombs that stretched beyond the city and could not be seen at a glance, Xiao Tianjian gritted his teeth with hatred, if it weren't for his negligence, Zuo Liangyu would not have taken Nanyang Mansion lightly and created the Nanyang Bloody Case, Zuo Liangyu can be said to be the scum of the scum of the Ming army, and he is more ruthless than anyone else in dealing with the common people, Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered that whenever he encounters Zuo Liangyu, he will fight to the death, and he will not accept the surrender of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates who participated in the massacre of Nanyang, Just grab it and slaughter it on the spot!
At the same time, in Nanyang Mansion, he had already learned the news of Zhang Xianzhong's resurgence in Gucheng, so he immediately sent someone to contact Zhang Xianzhong, hoping that Zhang Xianzhong could also follow Luo Rucai and the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, and join forces with him to deal with the Ming Dynasty together.
But before he could lead his troops to Dengzhou, the people sent to contact Zhang Xianzhong rushed back, saying that Zhang Xianzhong rejected Xiao Tianjian's proposal, saying that he didn't need to join forces with Xiao Tianjian, and that with his ability, he was enough to deal with the officials and troops in the Jiangnan area, and even secretly had an idea to let Xiao Tianjian not cross the river into the Jiangnan area of Huguang, and he had the idea of rowing the river with Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian immediately sneered after hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong has a detailed introduction in the history of this person, this person is so happy, and brutal and unkind, although he said that he established the Great Western Kingdom in Sichuan, but did not defend Sichuan, but in Sichuan massacre the people, regardless of men, women and children, killing is a river of blood, making the originally prosperous Sichuan almost a wild place again, this kind of person does not agree to take refuge in him, it is understandable, Zhang Xianzhong has always been a very ambitious person, at this point, He and Li Zicheng have quite a lot in common, in history Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are also divided and combined, both sides always want to annex each other, and now Li Zicheng into Henan is no longer possible, but Zhang Xianzhong's strength still exists, just with his little strength, he wants to rule the river with Xiao Tianjian, this is simply a joke, he doesn't look at what kind of virtue his soldiers and horses are, how can they be comparable to the Xingtian Army, it is simply beyond his strength.
So Xiao Tianjian tore up the letter that Zhang Xianzhong replied to him and threw it on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, 30,000 soldiers and horses attacked in the direction of Xiangyang Mansion.
(Today's success is over, the seventh chapter is presented, hurry up and go down to move, this old back pain really can't stand it!) It's hell-shattering! )
