Chapter 158: Small Punishment

、、、、、、、

Although Lu Xiangsheng has a Tianxiong army with more than 10,000 troops, and his Tianxiong army is known as the third strongest army in the world, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Fu to ask Lu Xiangsheng to transfer the Tianxiong army back to Taiyuan to guard, although Lu Xiangsheng said that the governor Xuanda Shanxi military affairs, but the main function of the Tianxiong army is to sit in Xuanda and prevent Jiannu from entering the army, and Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to easily mobilize the Tianxiong army to the south, so Wu Fu can only count on the officials and troops in the central part of Shanxi.

Just when the Shanxi government was in a panic, Xiao Tianjian personally led his division to attack the city of Xiangyuan County, although Xiangyuan County collected some of the defeated soldiers who fled to Xiangyuan County from Tunliu and the eldest son, but these defeated soldiers had already been frightened, and there was no combat effectiveness at all, not only did they not dare to fight, but even hundreds of defenders who were also infected in Xiangyuan County panicked together. opened the city gate and fled towards Qinzhou or Wuxiang again.

Xiangyuan County almost didn't make any resistance, and was conquered by Xiao Tianjian, and even the scribes who didn't have time to escape were also caught red-handed by the Xingtianjun.

At this point, Xiao Tianjian ordered to temporarily stop continuing to attack Qinzhou, and ordered the soldiers and horses to start resting in the area of Shangma Township on the border between Xiangyuan County and Qinzhou.

The whole New Year's offensive only took more than ten days, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to connect the five counties of Lu'an Prefecture, which made the base area expand by hundreds of miles again, and at the same time formed a threat to Taiyuan, of course, because the speed of the Xingtian Army's attack was too fast, so that the officials and rich gentry in these counties had no time to pack up and run away, so as soon as the Xingtian Army arrived, the wealth of these huge riches immediately became the harvest of the Xingtian Army, without taking inventory. The silver taels obtained from Lu'an Mansion alone are more than two million taels, and if you add the gold and silver obtained from the surrounding counties, there are millions of taels, which is enough to support the Xingtian Army to feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for a year.

And this is not the greatest harvest of the Xingtian Army, what makes Xiao Tianjian most happy is that they captured the Huguan, which is a very important pass in the Taihang Mountains, and after taking the Huguan, the Xingtian Army opened up an important passage from Shanxi to the eastern North Zhili, so that the Xingtian Army can almost no longer have to make any effort to pass through the Taihang Mountain from the south of Jin, and go straight to the Zhangde Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion north of the Yellow River, so that the Xingtian Army will have greater room for maneuver in the future.

This battle can really be said to be beautiful to the extreme, the soldiers of the southern Jin Dynasty will be in this battle because of Xiao Tianjian's personal supervision, showing a strong desire to fight, among which Situ Liang's cavalry battalion is ten days in the Lu'an Mansion back and forth around the battle of more than a thousand miles, constantly pursuing the raiding officers, the cavalry's high mobility combat ability is incisive, even other infantry troops, more than ten days are not disarmed, followed by Xiao Tianjian and Yan Chongxi and other generals, continuous mobile combat, many of them are tired and almost vomit blood, There are even people who die of frostbite because they sleep in the wild at night, but the soldiers rarely complain, and the results can be described as brilliant, but the price paid is really not small.

When the battle came here, it was not that Xiao Tianjian didn't want to take Qinzhou in one go, but these generals were already extremely tired, if they were urged to work hard, then even if Qinzhou was taken, the generals would be completely tired at that time, not to mention that they could occupy so many places, they had to consider arranging people to garrison and establish a local township soldier system, which would take time, so Xiao Tianjian could only choose to stop the offensive and turn into rest.

Luo Rucai can be said to have participated in the blitzkrieg of the Xingtian Army this time, and it can be said that he personally experienced the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, in the past, when he led the old department, if he wanted to attack a state capital like Lu'an Mansion, he often relied on the tactics of the sea of people, and the lives of the people were filled, and they besieged the city with at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and dealt with the defenders of more than 1,000 people, but they were not necessarily able to attack it, but the Xingtian Army was not at all like they used to be, with few troops, but they were all fierce and abnormal, The training is very sufficient, whether it is a field battle or a siege war, the division of labor is very clear, the organization is quite proper, plus the Xingtian army is very sharp, it is not difficult to attack such a city, it can take a city in a day or two, and the organization and combat effectiveness displayed are all things that Luo Rucai never dared to think of before, it can be said that Luo Rucai was completely impressed, and at the same time, it also opened his eyes, so that Luo Rucai admired Xiao Tianjian's ability even more.

Seeing that after conquering Xiangyuan County, the Xingtianjun had already been transferred to recuperation, Luo Rucai asked Xiao Tianjian what to do next, whether to continue to attack Taiyuan Mansion after resting and replenishing, or simply take the pot and enter Zhangde Mansion.

Xiao Tianjian shook his head with a smile and said: "In this battle, we are mainly to punish the government for a small scale, not really to capture the entire Shanxi, this battle we have taught the Shanxi government a hard lesson, let them know that we are not afraid of them, but do not want to find trouble with them, this lesson is deep enough, so it should be over here, it is not yet time to fight Taiyuan Mansion, this battle we have five prefectures and counties, and the territory has expanded so much, if you attack forward, you will be greedy and chew more!"

And Taiyuan is too important for the imperial court, only with the current Jinnan soldiers and horses, even if they attack Taiyuan City, they will not be able to gnaw Taiyuan City, but will force the imperial court to transfer Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army back to Taiyuan, and it will be unfavorable to us at that time!

I mean to accept it when we see it, we have achieved our goal in this battle, not only defeated Xu Dingguo, eliminated nearly 10,000 officials and soldiers, shocked the government, and expanded our territory, then it is time for Yan Chongxi and Mr. Fu to digest what we have eaten in this battle, and restore the agriculture, industry and commerce in these counties as soon as possible, so that they can be used by me, and the direction of our next main strategy will be placed in Henan, after a few days of busyness, we should go back to Henan! ”

After hearing this, Luo Rucai nodded and said, "Everything is under the orders of the big handsome!" This time, my surname Luo is completely handsome! I didn't expect that! The soldiers under the command of the commander are so brave and good at fighting, and there are such strong soldiers, why worry about the world not taking it! However, the marshal stopped attacking, so how could Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Fu stop there? Isn't the big boss afraid of them fighting back? ”

"We may not be able to continue the offensive in Jinnan at the moment, but with Yan Chongxi and them to defend, I think it is not a problem, not to mention that there is a gust of wind in the north and the black wolf They two forces contain Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng does not dare to easily transfer the border army to the south, plus it is rumored that the Jiannu outside the pass is a little short of food, so it is about to move recently, and it seems that there are plans to knock on the pass and enter, Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of Xuanda, guarding the border is his first priority, he wants to focus on the area of Xuanda, only with the Shanxi soldiers mobilized by Wu Fu, Hum! It's not that I underestimate them, in the past few years, we have fought with the officials and troops in Shanxi many times, but they have never bargained under our hands, and now that Lu'an Mansion has been eaten by us, then they want to take it back, I'm afraid they don't have that ability!

Of course, I will also let the Shanxi government know what they should do next, and Vice Marshal Luo can rest assured of this! Xiao Tianjian replied to Luo Rucai with a relaxed face.

(At this time, there are more things, and it is not easy to sit down honestly and code words, and the number of words is less, and everyone is more tolerant, after all, I want to ensure that the Spring Festival is constantly changing, which is also commendable!) )
