Xiao Tianjian didn't expect that Lu's county would be taken in such a way, originally he was also mentally prepared to fight hard for a few days to conquer the county, and even the pre-war mobilization of the battalions had been done before arriving at Lu's county, but when they rushed to the outside of Lu's county town in a murderous manner, they found that there was no battle to fight here.

The cavalry team, as the vanguard, had already controlled the various gates of the city before the main force arrived, and blocked the chaotic soldiers who had robbed the city like crazy.

It was only at this time that the rebels realized that it was time to run, but at this time it was too late, in the case of no organization, they couldn't do it at all, and they couldn't even break through the defense line of the cavalry of the Xingtian Army who were guarding the gate, and after Zhao Erdonkey led the infantry to arrive, the rebels in the city couldn't rush out of the city and escape.

Situ Liang is also ruthless enough, after Zhao Erdon led his troops to arrive, he handed over the city gate to Zhao Erdonkey's subordinates to guard, and he led the cavalry of his headquarters to let go of the south gate of Lushi County alone and withdrew the cavalry team outside the city.

These rebels, who had already been frightened, were originally blocked in the city and were frightened and at a loss, but when they learned that the south gate was released, they carried the property they had looted on their backs, rushed towards the south gate in a swarm, squeezed out of the south gate one after another, and fled away from the south gate as if they had blown up the nest.

This time it fell into the hands of Situ Liang's group of cavalry, under the command of Situ Liang, these cavalry were also scattered, and began to play a game of cat and mouse everywhere. As a result, after leaving the city, they became the targets of the cavalry of the Xingtian Army.

One by one, the chaotic soldiers were chased and cut down to the ground by the roaring cavalry, and they cried and shouted for their mothers, without even the slightest room for resistance, and they were not even spared from kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

When Xiao Tianjian led his troops to arrive at Lu's county, the outside of the city was already full of corpses of the rebels, among which there were also some corpses of the city's splashes mixed with it, and when they saw that the people who ran out of the city in front were killed so badly, the remaining rebels in the city were so frightened that they peed their pants one by one, and they no longer dared to flee out of the city, so they could only cry and hide in the city and pray for God's blessing, don't let them be killed like this.

The rebels who had just begun to loot in the city found that their identities had been completely lost, and when the Torture Army arrived, they were reduced to the weaklings who had been slaughtered.

After Xiao Tianjian learned about the situation in the city, without saying a word, he directly ordered the army to enter the city to calm down, pacify the situation in Lu's county as soon as possible, and search for those rebels who were evil in the city and the splashes who took advantage of the chaos to rob, for these people, Xiao Tianjian was not uncommon to ask them, and ordered to kill one as long as he caught one, and hung his head directly on the street, so as to deter those restless people in the city.

As a result, less than half a day after the Xingtian Army entered the city, the situation in Lu's county town was completely stabilized, and the rebels and splashes hiding in the homes of the people were exposed by the people, and they were immediately killed on the spot by the Xingtian Army's subordinates or caught on the street and displayed in public.

In this way, the city of Lushi was once again restored to stability, the people in the city were almost desperate, as soon as the official ran, the rebels began to rob in the city, many families were ruined, and then the Xingtian army entered the city, the people in these cities thought that they would soon usher in a greater looting, but they did not think that the generals of the Xingtian Army, which they regarded as a thief army, were not at all as they thought, as soon as they entered the city, they immediately began to impose martial law along the streets, searching for those rebellious soldiers and splashes who plagued the people, At the same time, the subordinates of these Xingtian Army, the military discipline is very strict, they do not rob, spoil women, and do not force themselves into the people's houses, and they stabilize the situation in the city at a very fast speed, and they also kill the heads of those who are fighting for the chaos in the city.

Soon, the Xingtian Army won the hearts of the people in the city, and some of the ordinary people spontaneously identified the people who took advantage of the chaos in the city that day, and told the Xingtian Army the hiding places of some people who slipped through the net, and some of the rebels who took off their uniforms were also identified one by one, and almost killed these rebels who were on the side of the disaster.

What surprised the people in the county of Lushi County was that after the Xingtian Army entered the city to clear out the chaotic soldiers in the city and stabilize the law and order in the city, it immediately left only a small number of troops to maintain law and order in the city, and most of the rest of the soldiers quickly withdrew from the city and set up camp outside the city, almost did nothing to disturb the people, this kind of thing almost made everyone unbelievable, the government repeatedly told the people how these thieves were so cruel and how greedy they were for money, but when they saw every move of the Xingtian Army, However, they found that the information that they had received from the government had been subverted, and the official army had become a scourge for the disaster, but it was the Xingtian Army, a civilian army called a thief by the government, that had become a benevolent and righteous army, and rushed to save them when they were in danger.

Even some of the big families in the city who were destroyed also sincerely took out some food and other things at home after the Xingtian Army entered the city, and gave them to the Xingtian Army to express their gratitude.

However, although the Xingtian Army did not disturb the people, it seized a large amount of soft money and property from the chaotic soldiers and the chaotic skins.

To a certain extent, the scourge of these rebels and bandits in the city has helped the Xingtian Army a lot, on the one hand, they have harvested a large number of wealth, but on the other hand, they have harvested the hearts of the people in the county, if this is not the case, Xiao Tianjian after capturing the county seat of Lu, in order to buy the hearts of the locals, it is really inconvenient to do this kind of thing.

After counting the various warehouses of the county and county government, Xiao Tianjian found that those officials ran too quickly, just caring about packing up their belongings and running away, and the things in these warehouses basically did not move. However, the armory and grain depot basically fell into the hands of the Xingtian Army, and Xiao Tianjian obtained a lot of materials, at least he could maintain the operation of the Xingtian Army here for a short time.

After Xiao Tianjian stabilized the situation in Lushi County, he immediately convened his subordinates in the camp to discuss the next move, and the situation in Yongning County is not the same as that of Lushi County is a relatively easy place to control, except for the north and south roads can enter and exit Lushi County, the rest of the large area, from the outside can not enter at all, to some extent, the terrain here is a bit similar to the side of Yangcheng, Shanxi, is a good rear base.

Moreover, almost half of the hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in Lushi County were given to King Fu of Luoyang, as his feudal land, and the rest of the land was basically concentrated in the hands of five or six wealthy gentry, and the common people were almost all tenants for them, relying on farming for them to make a living, so it was much more convenient to carry out land reform in this area than in other places, and it was easy to obtain the support of the people.

Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian took the county seat of Lushi, he began to arrange for his soldiers and horses to spread out in Lushi County to clear the five tycoons.

In this operation, Xiao Tianjian sent all the two battalions of Luo Li and Li Xuanzhu, leaving only the guards to guard the county seat of Lushi, and the artillery team and engineer company were also sent to them two battalions to cooperate with them to attack the Huangzhuang and the forts of the tycoons in these Lushi counties.

After the generals received the order, they did not delay time, and early the next morning, they all gathered their troops and horses, rushed to various targets like a whirlwind, and launched a sweep of the entire territory of Lushi County.

And the clerks who accompanied the army were not idle, and they were immediately spread out, and set off with the army, spreading the various policies of the Xingtian Army towards the common people along the way.

Looking at the soldiers under his command leaving the camp in batches, Xiao Tianjian sighed a little, judging from the situation here in Lushi County, now the Ming Dynasty has a very weak control ability over many local states and counties, and the government can no longer effectively exercise control over the locality, and the local heroes have also shown a common phenomenon in the troubled times, and began to build forts and villages, build villages to protect themselves, and no longer obey the dispatch of the local government, so that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is even more unstable, for them these righteous soldiers, On the contrary, it is much more convenient.

Speaking of which, this Fu Wang is really unlucky enough to meet the Xingtian Army, before his grain fleet and the royal business fleet were repeatedly attacked and plundered by the Xingtian Army's naval army, and now he led his troops south into Henan, the Lu family fell, and the Fu King suddenly lost a large piece of fertile land, if he continued to expand like this, the Fu King is afraid that life will become more and more difficult.

At this time, Jiang Qin, who was sent out by Xiao Tianjian some time ago, rushed all the way from Yongning County to Lushi County, and after Xiao Tianjian heard that he was coming, he immediately returned to the camp to summon Jiang Qin.

When he saw Jiang Qin, who was covered in dust and his face was blue and purple from the cold, he felt slightly uneasy in his heart, thinking that something big might have happened, otherwise Jiang Qin wouldn't have been so embarrassed by the cold, and chased him all the way here.

So he immediately asked Tietou to prepare ginger soup for Jiang Qin to warm him up, and at the same time immediately asked Jiang Qin, "But has something big happened?" So you rushed here? ”

Jiang Qin had a frosty look on his face, and while he was stiff and saluted Xiao Tianjian, he immediately shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, handsome, there is no bad news, basically some good news!" ”

Xiao Tianjian was relieved when he heard this, so he smiled and asked Jiang Qin to sit down and talk, and drink a cup of hot tea first.
