"It's hot, the last general will ask for his life, take advantage of Li Zicheng's current weakness, take down a few more of his minions, and share the worries of adults!"

In fact, it was less than seven or eight days after returning to Luoyang, and Li Tianyang began to sit still, so he took the initiative to find Xiong Wencan and asked him to go out.

"This ...... General Li is eager to serve the country, and his own officer knows it very well, but your army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and now it will send troops again after only a few days of rest, is it a little anxious? ”

Xiong Wencan was very surprised by Li Tianyang's request for life, in his opinion, Li Tianyang, a general of reinforcements from other provinces, is naturally more willing to shirk responsibility and preserve his own strength, with the merits of the previous few big victories, even if Xiong Wencan wants to transfer Li Tianyang, he really needs a good excuse.

But he never thought that he hadn't come up with an excuse yet, but Li Tianyang jumped out and took the initiative to fight.

"It is the duty of our soldiers to share worries for the country, and now when the Ming Dynasty is worried about external and internal troubles, some difficulties are not a reason for fear of war for the last general and others."

Li Tianyang was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was not moved by Xiong Wencan's retention at all.

"It's just that the last general needs an edict from the adults, and our army is allowed to use the Zhao'an peasant army on the spot for my use, after all, my Fujian troops are only a few thousand now, and it is extremely difficult to replenish them."

"Therefore, the last general wants to use local materials and use the enemy's help for his own use, which can not only weaken the strength of the other side, but also increase his own consumption!"

"Accurate!"

As the chief officer, who doesn't like to have a good subordinate around him who shares his worries, the thief Li Zicheng's department encountered a crisis, Xiong Wencan wanted to send troops to make profits, but he was also a clever woman who could not cook without rice, and there were only so many resources in his hands.

"Then I will thank you here!"

Li Tianyang was overjoyed, and the Hongtang army itself did not suffer much, just to hide his own strength, and he didn't want to arouse the jealousy of other generals and become an outlier, so he had a lot to hide.

Stationed around Luoyang City, to tell the truth, Li Tianyang is always uncomfortable every day, and he still has a lot of things to do on Dayuan Island, so he naturally hopes to return to the Hongmen base camp after achieving a certain goal.

"If there is any difficulty, remember to repair the book and the official, and the official will fully support you!"

Xiong Wencan also really likes Li Tianyang, no matter what, the Ming Dynasty just lacks a general like him who has the courage to stand up and take responsibility and has the ability, and he Xiong Wencan is not a jealous person, where will he drag Li Tianyang back at this time!

"Obey!" Li Tianyang Shi Ran received the order, and in the afternoon of the same day, he took the thousands of soldiers who were stationed outside Luoyang City on the surface of Hongtang to the direction of Nanyang in the west.

At this time, in addition to Nanyang, in fact, other county governments in Henan have always been unstable, even in Yiyang, Yongning and other counties that Li Tianyang cleaned up before, there are still many peasant rebels, and even in Yanshi County, which is only less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, there have also been a lot of riots, and people's hearts are ready to move.

This is also Xiong Wencan's heart has always been worried about fear and other things, Li Tianyang's initiative to ask for help, for him, it is even more of an act of sending charcoal in the snow.

The first action launched by Li Tianyang's department was to begin to eliminate the unstable forces around the surrounding county towns such as Yanshi.

On the surface, there are thousands of Hongtang troops, and if they want to attack Li Zicheng's army, it is naturally a matter of using their arms as a car, and even as Li Tianyang said, if they want to cut off a few more minions of Li Zicheng and others, they are actually suspected of talking big.

Therefore, what Li Tianyang has to do now is to take it step by step, use his understanding of the layout of the peasant army and his knowledge of its high-level actions, seize the opportunity to annex other small peasant troops, incorporate them for their own use, expand their own strength, and finally use this to fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng.

The sweep of Yanshi County took Li Tian more than half a month to raise them, including the extermination of dozens of local bandits and mountain tyrants, as well as the appeasement of hundreds of displaced people, and the Hongtang army provided a thousand independent strong warriors.

Subsequently, Hongmen continued to advance westward, and began to search for bandits and peasant armies in every village and town in the county, so as to eliminate hidden dangers for each county.

At the same time, the Hongtang army also did not have the slightest harassment and bullying of the people at the bottom, which was almost impossible to do in other armies of the Ming Dynasty, but it also won the recognition of the local people for the Hongtang army.

At least, the people will not treat her coldly as if they were against the government and the government, and they will not treat her coldly enough to coax her and report to other peasant armies and bandit villagers, which will bring a lot of convenience to Li Tianyang and other actions.

has been fighting back to Yongning County, this time it took Li Tianyang and them a full four months, and the harvest of the Hongtang army is that they have more than 178 Zhaorong troops under their command.

Compared with the previous Deng Xi's actions of pulling Zhuang Ding all the way and coercing the displaced people, although the strong men of the Hongtang army are not too many, but these edicts are in their prime, but there are basically no ordinary people's children, and the Hongmen people can't do the act of being a shameless person like Deng Xi and directly pulling Zhuang Ding to separate a good family.

Moreover, because of the slow progress of the Hongtang army, the soldiers who were ordered by it to move forward and fight all the way in the past four months also had enough time to train, until they arrived at the outskirts of Yongning County, Hongtang, in addition to the soldiers of the headquarters, already had the strength to fight with any other army of the same size in the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to say what kind of ability the Hongmen is really proud of, I am afraid that any member of the Hongmen will think in unison, that is, it is like cultivating the ability to train warriors.

Combined with ancient and modern military theories, Hongmen's military training ethics, the achievements made on the battlefield over the years, is the best proof of it, although now this group of newly recruited soldiers, in fact, can not meet Hongtang's requirements for real soldiers, but in the Ming Dynasty's generally low combat effectiveness of the army, has been able to do him equally.

Of course, Xiong Wencai's help to Li Tianyang and others is also very great, if there is no Xiong Wencan's financial support in terms of material supply, Li Tianyang and they want to support nearly 30,000 soldiers, including their original troops, it is an extremely heavy burden and difficulty.

"My lord, after Yongning, we are afraid that the opponent will make a move."

By Li Tianyang's side, Yao Qisheng at the airport office began to worry.

"So what, what should come will come, let's see how they move!"

Li Tianyang looked into the distance, but he was already a little homesick.
