With the arrival of Li Jinde, Xiao Tianjian can finally take some free time from the complicated affairs, at this time he pinched his fingers and calculated, and found that it had been almost ten months since he left Luoyang this time, so that Fan Linger was about to give birth to a child.

Thinking about how he led his troops to fight abroad all year round, but put Fan Yutong and Fan Ling'er in Luoyang, and didn't ask for a long time, he really felt a little indebted to them, especially after he led his troops to fight this time, Fan Ling'er was pregnant with his child, but he didn't stay with them for a day, so he felt a little ashamed.

If this is a woman in the future, if my husband dares to do this, he will have to make a fuss! Fortunately, today's women have to learn three virtues and four virtues since they were young, and they won't give him a look.

After the Xingtian Army established a base in Yangcheng, Xiao Tianjian ordered that during the march and war, no one in the army was allowed to bring family members or hide women in the army, and this rule was implemented from him, so the whole army gradually got used to this rule.

Even some of the rebels who later took refuge in them, after the rectification, the generals began to implement this military rule and resettle their families in selected places, so that the military discipline in the army was also cleaned up a lot.

However, these people are also all bloody old men, and they are not allowed to bring female dependents in the army, plus their gang has to go out to fight for a long time, and they rarely have the opportunity to go home to visit, thinking about this, Xiao Tianjian feels a little indebted to his subordinates.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Tianjian felt that he immediately had a strong sense of missing home, fortunately, when Li Jinde came this time, he brought Xiao Tianjian news from his home in Luoyang, Fan Yutong and Fan Linger both wrote a letter to Xiao Tianjian, and asked Li Jinde to bring it over this time, and the letter told Xiao Tianjian that Fan Linger was in good health, and often invited famous doctors to enter the house to diagnose Fan Linger's pulse, and the child in her belly was also very good, and Fan Yutong also revealed a message to Xiao Tianjian in the letter, saying that some famous doctors were after diagnosing the pulse. Judging that the child in Fan Linger's belly is likely to be a girl, which made Fan Yutong a little disappointed, she said that she really wanted Fan Linger to give birth to a boy for Xiao Tianjian this time, so that Xiao Tianjian would have a successor! Even Fan Linger expressed her disappointment in the letter.

For this point, Xiao Tianjian was not too disappointed, after all, he felt that as long as Fan Linger could conceive a child, then there would be no problem with his body, and he would be able to have more children in the future, so he immediately wrote a reply letter to them, in which he told them that there was no problem with the children, whether they were male or female, and he liked them, and at the same time poured out his thoughts about them in the letter, so that they could take care of their health, and once they gave birth, they would quickly send the letter over.

He is currently in military affairs, and the next step is likely to be to attack Nanzhili with the whole army, so it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Luoyang to visit them in a short time, and he even said sorry in the letter.

But I didn't think that not long after the letter was sent out, news came from Luoyang, saying that Fan Ling'er really gave birth to a daughter for Xiao Tianjian, which made Xiao Tianjian very happy, and in two or three days, when he thought of it, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

And his subordinates felt that Xiao Tianjian's performance was a bit excessive, isn't it just a girl! Can you be so happy? And many people are still a little disappointed, thinking that if it was a boy, it would be good, at least the foundation laid by Xiao Tianjian will have someone to inherit in the future! And this interest group of theirs will be more stable in the future.

Of course, Xiao Tianjian also knows what his subordinates think, but he doesn't care too much about this matter, his son will definitely have it sooner or later, and now he is not the bandit leader who had to personally wheel the blade at every turn, and now he can say that he has more than 100,000 soldiers, and many of them are elite soldiers, and his enemies want to take his head, and now I am afraid it is not so easy.

So after he learned that Fan Ling'er gave birth to a daughter, he set up a table of wine banquets in Wuchang Mansion, gathered his subordinates who could be recruited, and drank bitterly, so that he could relax and be happy!

And at this time, Xiao Tianjian received several good news at the same time, in the past two months, the situation in various places has changed again, first of all, Yan Chongxi is in Shanxi, after he led his troops to capture the entire Jinnan region south of Pingyang Mansion, Yan Chongxi sent Diao Zheng to Weihui Mansion to help Liu Bao defend Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, and resist the attack of Baoding Governor Sun Chuanting's department on the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, and Diao Zheng can be regarded as a murderer at the moment, he is in the battle of Zhanghe against Gao Qiqian, With 2,000 to 20,000 defeats, it can be said that he became famous in a war, and this matter can be said to be known to the whole world, and it also makes Diao Zheng's fame even surpass Yan Chongxi, Luo Li, Liu Bao and others.

Diao Zheng led his troops into Weihui Mansion to replace Liu Bao's men, and Sun Chuanting fought twice, Sun Chuanting was defeated and had to retreat to Guangping Mansion, and Diao Zheng immediately took advantage of the situation to gather troops and lead the troops to pursue, not only drove Sun Chuanting's department to the north of Guangping Mansion, but also sent people to disguise themselves as messengers of the official army, pretending to be Sun Chuanting's subordinates, and fraudulently opened the gate of Zhangde Mansion, more than 20 people who entered the city suddenly attacked, and the inner Ying in the city joined forces to control the north gate of Zhangde Mansion, and only held on for a moment, Diao Zheng sent a light cavalry to rush to the city, and then the army then killed, conquered Zhangde Mansion in one fell swoop, and defeated Zhangde Mansion.

Immediately after Diao Zheng took the power of victory, a few days of hard work and won the eastern part of Zhangde Mansion Daimyofu, this time even Sun Chuanting was frightened, Sun Chuanting to say that he is also a very capable person, good at leading the army and training, and familiar with the art of war, but also will mobilize morale, when he was in Shaanxi, he cooperated with Hong Chengchou to exterminate a lot of Lu Yi army, and beat Li Zicheng full of teeth, in the end, if it was not for Xiao Tianjian to help, he and Hong Chengchou almost succeeded in encircling Li Zicheng in the Shangluo area.

Sun Chuanting was originally a very arrogant person, very thoughtful and assertive, and even Yang Sichang, who was deeply valued by Zhu You's inspection at the beginning, he dared to contradict it, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Sichang was driven out of Beijing in advance because of the Xingtianjun's tiredness, it was estimated that he would definitely be dismissed and arrested by Yang Sichangyin's dismissal when he entered Beijing.

After facing the Xingtian Army, he found out that all his previous experience or something, in front of the Xingtian Army, all lost their effect, he has not used any strategies in the past six months, and wants to defeat the Xingtian Army, but every time he encounters the Xingtian Army, no tricks work, the Xingtian Army is stunned to drop ten times, no matter how he uses the plan, He Nai's officers and soldiers are not strong, and when they meet the Xingtian Army, they can't make any moves, only they are beaten, so that Sun Chuanting lost his temper and had the intention to follow the Xingtian Army. also pulled a group of men and horses with the firecrackers as the main force to come out, and cooperated with the Hongyi cannon, but at present, the financial difficulties of the imperial court are severe, and the soldiers and salaries cannot be paid, and the land of Shangjing has just been plagued by the Tartars, and the people have either fled south into the area controlled by the Xingtian Army, or they have been taken away by the Tartars, and the remaining people are also pitiful, Sun Chuanting has no place to even recruit troops and buy horses, and it is simply a fantasy to want to equip an elite army that can compete with the Xingtian Army.

So no matter how capable Sun Chuanting is, as long as he is still mixed in the system of the imperial court, it is impossible to solve the elite soldiers and horses like the Xingtian Army, after this order to go south, Sun Chuanting can be said to have been repaired by Liu Bao and Diao Zheng very miserably, the officers and soldiers under him are fighting less and less, at the beginning he can still take the offensive, after Diao Zhenglai, after a few battles, he can only take a defensive position, and later he was even beaten to the point that he couldn't even defend, and in turn was chased away by Diao Zheng's troops, so he couldn't take back Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing MansionAt this time, even the Zhangde Mansion and the Daimyo Mansion were also lost to the Xingtian Army, and Sun Chuanting was so shocked that he hurriedly led his troops to retreat into Guangping Mansion, trying to intercept the momentum of the Xingtian Army going north in Guangping Mansion.

Because the Zhangde Mansion and the Daimyo Mansion were broken by the Xingtian Army, Chen Xinjia on the side of the court also gave Sun Chuanting a brick, and after Chongzhen heard about it, he also personally ordered Sun Chuanting to be severely reprimanded, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one available at hand now, it was estimated that this time Sun Chuanting might be removed from the post of governor of Baoding, and he would be caught in Beijing.

And Yan Chongxi in the south of Jin, did not stop, pacified the south of Jin, after pacifying the situation in the south of Jin, he gathered troops and began to go north to Pingyang Mansion, from Pingyang Mansion to continue to attack, in September to capture Huozhou, in October to capture Fenzhou, at the same time Wang Chengping in the north of Jin after the capture of Shuozhou, in September and October, Li Lingfeng and Li Lingfeng divided troops to sweep the counties around Xinzhou, although there are a few county towns they did not capture, but the local is basically controlled by them, and the force has expanded a lot, The soldiers pointed directly at Xinzhou.

As a result, the entire Shanxi is basically only the provincial capital of Taiyuan Mansion and a small area around it is still under the rule of the imperial court, as for when it falls, it is only a matter of time, if the imperial court does not send more troops into Shanxi, it is estimated that even the years may not pass.

Let's talk about Henan, after Yan Chongxi divided his troops and sent Diao Zheng to replace him to guard Huifu, he led his troops to shift their attention to the area of Guide Mansion, first defeated Liu Zeqing in Kaocheng in August, and Liu Zeqing led the troops to flee back to Jining Prefecture, and no longer dared to follow Sun Chuanting's instructions to invade Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion.

And Liu Bao also freed his hand, and after solving Liu Zeqing's trouble, he didn't dare to continue to covet the territory of the Henan Xingtian Army, so he led his troops to start a counterattack.

In mid-September, Liu Bao took Bozhou, killed Suzhou in October, swept away the officers and troops in Suzhou, surrounded Suzhou City, and at the end of October, first defeated several official troops who rescued Suzhou, and then in early November, took Suzhou City, and began to attack Nanzhili from the direction of Henan, one step ahead of Xiao Tianjian.
