When Xiao Tianjian led his troops back to Luoyang City, he once again saw the scene of cheering, and hundreds of people flocked to the side of the road when they learned that Xiao Tianjian was still in Luoyang, and welcomed Xiao Tianjian and the soldiers and generals who returned to his army, many of whom had just fled from the north to Henan, and were taken in by the Xingtianjun and placed in various parts of Henan.

Moreover, Xiao Tianjian fought against the Tartars in the north this time, and in every battle, he would send people to report the war situation to the Xingtian Army's jurisdiction, and one after another transmitted the good news back to the Xingtian Army's jurisdiction, so as to boost the people's hearts, so the people also knew that Xiao Tianjian and his athletes really beat the Tartars, and the people in Henan were not too excited, but the people who fled in the north could be said to be very excited. Throughout the day, many people who fled from the north were chanting that God must bless their Xiao Dashuai and those athletes under his command, and now that Xiao Tianjian has returned, how to prevent them from moving when they hear the wind, and take a look at Xiao Tianjian, who is like God in their minds!

Looking at the countless people cheering for him on the side of the road, Xiao Tianjian's mood became much better, temporarily leaving aside his unhappiness about Zuo Liangyu's capture of Nanyang Mansion, and frequently nodded and hugged his fists to return the salute to the surrounding people who welcomed him and his soldiers.

The road that could have been completed in half an hour was delayed for two hours because of the welcome of these people, and Xiao Tianjian was able to enter Luoyang City, and at this time, Liu Bao, Niu Jinxing and other civil and military forces in Luoyang City had already caught Xiao Tianjian outside the city, and even Yan Chongxi, who had been sitting in Shanxi, was notified in advance to cross the river and come to Luoyang City by boat, waiting for Xiao Tianjian's return.

For a time, in the temporary marshal's mansion of Xiao Tianjian in Luoyang City, there were many heavy generals, except for Luo Rucai who temporarily led the troops to sit in Nanzhao and confront Zuo Liangyu, almost all the main generals were basically there.

Xiao Tianjian briefly described to the generals who stayed behind the experience of leading his troops to the north, and at the same time told the generals that the Jiannu Army was not as fierce as rumored, and the current tactics of the Xingtian Army were still trained, as long as it was a war battalion equipped with sufficient firearms, if it was against it one to one, it was only stronger than the Jiannu Army, which made the generals rest assured, because some of them in the province had not fought with the Jiannu Army, and they were afraid of war when they encountered the Jiannu Army in the future.

And the generals who stayed behind were also always paying attention to the battle reports coming back from the north, and they had already understood everything about Xiao Tianjian's northern expedition, so when Xiao Tianjian mocked the Jiannu army with a contemptuous face, all the generals also laughed.

Next, Xiao Tianjian made a brief summary of some of the problems existing in the Chinese army in the north, and rewarded the meritorious generals, as for the following generals, there are also secretaries who record their military exploits, and after going down, they have their own rewards and punishments according to the punishment of the Xingtian Army, these things consume a lot of time, and the rewarded generals are naturally very happy, and the generals who have not been rewarded are also gearing up one by one, waiting for the next time the time for them to make meritorious contributions.

"The matter of this northern expedition has come to an end for the time being! Don't mention it here, the summary of the war report will be sent to all departments for reference, so I won't talk about it here!

Now I came back in a hurry, in order to deal with the matter of the imperial court's brazen use of troops against us, there is no rudeness, they give us the first day of the new year, and we will return him a fifteen! Let's start with the current war situation! After Xiao Tianjian said succinctly, he turned to Niu Jinxing, who was temporarily sitting in Luoyang, and asked about the current situation of the war.

Niu Jinxing got up and replied: "This time Zuo Liangyu brazenly sent troops to Nanyang, originally we had expected it, but what I didn't expect was that Zuo Liangyu actually pulled up so many men and horses in such a short period of time, so the Nanyang defenders were not well prepared, so that Nanyang City was conquered by Zuo Liangyu.

After receiving the urgent report, Vice Marshal Luo led 5,000 men and horses to gallop to aid Nanyang, but when he arrived at Nanzhao, Nanyang had been broken, so Vice Marshal Luo and Li Dutong resisted Zuo Liangyu's department in Nanzhao, after a big battle, Zuo Liangyu had already led his troops to retreat back to Nanyang Mansion, and did not dare to attack to the north again!

As for the Runing Mansion, it was just a group of rabble, after Zhao Deputy Du led the troops over, they immediately retreated back to the city of Runing Mansion, and never dared to come out again, now it is the fifth battalion of the left side of the fight is more fierce, and now the fifth battalion of the left has led the troops to approach us, hoping to get the help of the marshal! They have already sent people to say that as long as the big man receives it, they are willing to follow the big handsome! ”

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian lowered his head and thought for a while, and then instructed Niu Jinxing: "You can reply to the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, I, Xiao, welcome them and invite them to rest in the area of Guide Mansion, as for the official army, we will deal with it!" Dongshan Tiger, after I ordered you to receive the order, I immediately rushed to Xincai day and night, sat in Xincai, received the 5th Battalion of Gezuo into Henan, intercepted the officers and troops pursuing them, and I will personally meet them in Guide Mansion!

As for Nanyang's fault, it's not you, it's because I underestimated Zuo Liangyu's ability to recover, and the garrison in Nanyang was too small, so that he took advantage of this loophole! But after I come back, Zuo Liangyu's good dream will come to an end, wait a minute, Ben Shuai will clean him up!

And Runing Mansion, I don't think there is a need to drag it out, now the Tartars are nearing the end, and they will be out of the customs soon after the plunder, we have tried our best to do what we should do, and the court can't blame us for not being angry, since the court is not benevolent, and wants to deal with us at this time, then don't blame us for being unjust, pass the order to Zhao Erdonkey, I will give him reinforcements with a war battalion, a reserve battalion, plus a few Hongyi cannons and ten big furlong cannons that were snatched back this time, and give me the Runing Mansion to take down, and the action should be as fast as possible, This Runing Mansion is a nail in our stomach, and it is always uncomfortable if we don't pull it out!

I don't talk much nonsense about anything else, this northern expedition, everyone also saw the weakness of the current imperial court, a huge Ming Dynasty, facing hundreds of thousands of Tartars into the Kou, sitting on hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, actually watched the Tartars go deep into the Ming Mansion for thousands of miles and no one was invincible, except for that Lu Xiangsheng led the troops to dare to fight with it, the rest of the officers and soldiers fled in despair.

Such a court can't even keep his home and country, what's the use of keeping him? In the past two years, we have also forbeared, especially in Jinnan, we have tolerated the imperial court everywhere and have not expanded our territory, and now it seems that this country let him be surnamed Zhu, and he can't keep it, so let us take care of it!

Yan Chongxi listens to orders! ”

Xiao Tianjian directly clicked on Yan Chongxi's name.

When Yan Chongxi heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted, "The end will be!" ”

"I know that your generals in Jinnan have been complaining for a long time and have no military merits to gain! It's good now! You don't have to be full of slander! I order you to start preparing immediately after you go back this time, and take down Pingyang Mansion for me!" Give you three months, no more than five months, and control the entire Jinnan south of Pingyang Mansion in our hands, and now you will fight! Do you have any questions? Xiao Tianjian ordered Yan Chongxi loudly.

Yan Chongxi's face was flushed with excitement at this time, he had been waiting for this day for more than ten days and half a month, he had been waiting for nearly two years, watching other colleagues follow Xiao Tianjian in Henan in the past two years, and the endless battles fought every day were full of military exploits, and although he was in Jinnan, he was on the defensive against the official army most of the time, except for last year's New Year's Eve and Lu'an Mansion, basically did not catch any big wars.

For this reason, all the generals in Jinnan looked at each other, and felt that Xiao Tianjian ordered them not to expand their territory in Shanxi, which was really unfair to them! For this reason, many self-motivated officers in private are looking for Yan Chongxi, wanting to transfer to several other departments in Henan, so that they will have the opportunity to reap the merits of war!

Yan Chongxi also really had a bit of a headache for this matter, this time Xiao Tianjian was furious and changed his previous strategy of focusing on defense in Shanxi, so that he sent troops to Pingyang Mansion, and then swept the entire Jinnan, this time the soldiers and generals under his command will have to fight!

So Yan Chongxi straightened his chest and replied loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" Never disappoint the expectations of the handsome! It's just that there are only five combat battalions and one artillery battalion at the moment, and if the action is so big, I'm afraid the troops will not be enough! ”

Xiao Tianjian laughed after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Originally, I thought that Yan Chongxi was the most sincere person, but now it seems that you also have a belly of cleverness!" Don't think I don't know, it's true that you have five battalions, but these five battalions of yours, if you pull out any of the soldiers they trained, you can at least be the commander of the army! As for the artillery battalion, hehe! You have more than 70 six-pounder guns alone, more than 20 eight-pounder guns, not counting the overnumbered three-pounder guns of each battalion, this overnumbering is too big! In addition, Jinnan now has more than 20 reserve camps in various places! Did you let the soldiers of the reserve battalion rest this year? Although there are not many self-generated firearms equipped with them, they can be pulled out casually, and they can also fight in the field with the officers and soldiers! I know what you want is a compilation, that's it! Today, I will promise you that Shanxi will set up a war zone, the original division will be divided into two, and 20,000 elite soldiers will be trained, and Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng from the northern part of Shanxi will also be dispatched by you, and they will form another division, and quickly equip them with firearms, so that they can cooperate with your operation in Shanxi this time! In short, you remember, by five months to the summer at the latest, if you can't control the south of Binh Duong Mansion, then I will have to change generals, and you can't blame me for being rude to you at that time! ”

For Yan Chongxi, a down-to-earth subordinate, Xiao Tianjian gave him great trust, Yan Chongxi secretly did these small actions in Jinnan, the number of soldiers in each battalion was overnumbered, the number of firecrackers was supernumerated, and all types of artillery were supernumerated, in fact, they were all carried out with his acquiescence, and he also needed Yan Chongxi to do this, laying a good foundation for him to compete for Shanxi in the future, but at the same time, he would not raise too many redundant troops to reduce the pressure on the finances of the Xingtian Army.
