After hearing the news for the first time, the prefect Liu Qingde was taken aback, and immediately approved all localities to strictly guard against death, not to be careless, and at the same time ordered the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture to check the whereabouts of the thief army, and once this thief army was found, he mobilized troops and horses to encircle and suppress.

But after a few days, the news fed back from all over the country made him completely confused, after the thief army crossed the river into Jin, it disappeared quietly, and all the states and counties were not attacked by the thief army, like a mud cow into the sea, there was no movement.

As a result, the prefect of Pingyang and several important officials of Pingyang Mansion were a little confused, and they still remember the scene when Chongzhen's thief army invaded Shanxi in five years.

One hundred and twenty thousand exile army in the fierce Zijinliang King for his own use, the king of Gao Yingxiang, the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and others under the leadership of the territory under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Mansion, all the way to the city and conquer the city, burning, killing and looting everything, Lianke Daning, Xizhou, Zezhou, Shouyang, Liaozhou and other prefectures and counties, the front until Pingyang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion and other important places, so that the imperial court was shaken, and then fortunately the army was mobilized in time to enter the Jin Dynasty to suppress, only last year to force these thieves out of Shanxi, how long has it been! Then there is another army of thieves, how not to make these officials of Pingyang Mansion feel frightened!

Therefore, as soon as they heard that there was a chaotic army entering Jin, they immediately got busy, but after working for several days, they could not find out where the thief army that entered Jin went, but it cannot be said that the government of various states and counties did not make efforts to do this, and they still collected some useful information more or less.

Judging from the news sent by Hejin County, the total number of thieves who entered the Jin Dynasty was not much, roughly only about a few thousand people, but after the thief army entered the Jin, it did not attack and plunder in the Hejin area, but quickly inserted into the territory of Jishan County, but the news from Jishan County said that it had not been attacked by the thief army on this road, and soon the thief army crossed Jishan County and entered the border of Jiangzhou, and from the news collected in Jiangzhou and other places, after this thief army entered Jin, it first rushed all the way and entered the territory of Jiangzhou, and then began to turn south. Then some people began to spread in the Jiangzhou area that the bandit army broke up into several units in the south of Jiangzhou, and after two days of activities in the Jishan County area, they plundered several caravans, and then dispersed, and then disappeared.

"Looks like I'm waiting for a false alarm! This thief army must have been unable to stay in Shaanxi, so they ventured across the river and ran to our Shanxi side, but because of discord, they dispersed! That way, nothing will happen! It's been so much that I've been scared for so many days! After reading the letter sent by the governor of Jiangzhou, the prefect of Pingyang finally breathed a long sigh of relief, put the letter on the big case, stretched his waist, and showed a long-lost smile on his face.

"My lord, even so, it's not a good thing that these thousands of chaotic people have come to our area! Do you want to send some officers and soldiers, or go to the Jiangzhou area to search for them? A man dressed as a military attaché stood up and asked the prefect for instructions.

Liu Qingde rolled his eyes and sneered: "It's just a bunch of chaotic people, where is it like the year before last, so many thieves broke into our Shanxi, how can we mobilize the army to attack and suppress?" It's not that I don't know how you generals behave, saying that they are suppressing bandits, but in fact they are looting! He is very good at killing good and risking skills, and his ability to make money is better than anyone else! This move, then we have to pay money first, and if I move a little, it will be tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, where will I get this money?

That's it! It's just a disease of ringworm and scabies! It would be good to order the Jiangzhou side to fight on its own, so as not to make it sit big! There is no need to mention this again! Let's talk about the things over there at Xuanda!

This time, the Eastern Tatars entered Kou Xuanda, and the troops were divided into four ways to attack and plunder the Xuanda area. Many castles along the border were lost, and the Tartar army attacked Lingqiu. Jiang Bingcai, the county governor of Lingqiu, recruited troops to hold on, garrisoned Shiqi, put the chief Chen Yanwu, Ma Ruzhi, Zhang Biao in the classics, taught Lu Dengfu, and died in battle. After the city was broken, Jiang Bingcai, the magistrate of the county, hanged himself, and his family was martyred. Everyone knows about it!

I didn't expect that! Even Cao Wenzhao is such a fierce general, he is not the opponent of the Tartars, and he rushed out to fight in Huairen, but he returned defeated, it's a pity! I heard that this time the court will be guilty of the crime, and he will be used as a military guard! It's really unexpected! ……”

As soon as his words changed, the attention of the officials sitting in the hall turned to the affairs of Xuanda, and the military attache was reprimanded by Liu Qingde, and his face was gloomy, and he sat back in his chair in a daze, so no one mentioned the whereabouts of the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian led a team of men and horses, but at this time in the north of Wenxi County thirty miles of official road near a jungle to rest, after the division of troops, Yan Chongxi, Luo Li, Zhao Erdonkey, Feng Gouzi four people each led a team of soldiers and horses, in the south of Jiangzhou turned to the northeast, towards the direction of Yangcheng, but Xiao Tianjian alone led a group of more than 700 soldiers and horses, continued to enter the territory of Wenxi County, in order to confuse the judgment of the government, for several other soldiers and horses to sneak into Yangcheng to attract the attention of the government.

And since they divided their troops in Jiangzhou, the government really began to send a lot of meticulous work to begin to check the traces of the Xingtian Army that suddenly appeared in Shanxi.

Along the way, they also began to encounter some small groups of officers and soldiers, and there were several skirmishes, and Xiao Tianjian only left Li Xuanzhu's sentry soldiers and Liu Bao's two hundred recruits, as well as a small number of female dependents, child soldiers, craftsmen and others, although the troops were not many, but they were much more capable, and the target was also reduced a lot.

Moreover, after entering the territory of Shanxi, the Xingtian Army put away the banners they were waving along the way, put away the Xingtian Army flag, and the formation was also disrupted during the march, and they no longer marched in a neat queue.

A few accidental encounters with the officers and soldiers and the townspeople, the conflict was not too intense, once encountered, it was often a short confrontation, with the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army, it would soon be able to defeat the small group of officers and soldiers or the team composed of the townspeople, and quickly continue on the road, throwing off the official eyeliner.

A few days later, Xiao Tianjian led his troops into the territory of Wenxi County, pinching his fingers and calculating, at the speed of several other teams, it should have now crossed the Yuncheng Basin and entered the mountainous area in the southeast.

After half a day's march, at noon they found the woods next to the official road from Jiangzhou to Wenxi County, so Xiao Tianjian ordered the team to avoid this forest, and after resting, they crossed the official road and began to turn to the east.

After eating some dry food casually, Xiao Tianjian sat in the crowd of soldiers and generals and sat around with all the soldiers and generals talking and laughing, as long as it was not during drills and battles, Xiao Tianjian rarely treated his soldiers and generals with the big boss's shelf, so usually the soldiers and generals also liked to come to Xiao Tianjian's side and listen to Xiao Tianjian say some strange things.

Compared with anyone in this era, Xiao Tianjian can be said to be more than a thousand times richer in miscellaneous news, so whatever he says can often make the generals listen to it with relish, which also deepens the relationship between him and the generals.

When Xiao Tianjian was foaming at the mouth of the stars and telling everyone what shape this earth was, all the soldiers and generals could also hear that they were in the clouds, Li Lingfeng suddenly rushed into the forest from the edge of the forest, found Xiao Tianjian, and whispered to him: "General! On the official road, there is a large caravan from Jiangzhou to Wenxi County, which looks very fat! Shall we do it again? ”

Xiao Tianjian thought for a moment, and his mouth showed a mouth full of big white teeth and smiled: "Why don't you do it?" We are now poles, and when we encounter this kind of fat sheep, of course we can't let it go! Hey! Brethren! I'll tell you about those things later! Okay, let's all get up and work with Lao Tzu! Lee Bolt Pillar! ”

"The last general!" When Li Xuanzhu heard Xiao Tianjian calling him, he immediately jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Be quiet! Don't alarm the people outside the woods! Relax, relax! Now we're poles! You don't need to look at everything! You take dozens of brothers and go around to block their retreat, and I will lead some brothers to intercept their way in front and give them a wrap! But it's all for Lao Tzu to remember! We don't want to kill people for money, as long as they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, don't kill people! Did you hear it all? Xiao Tianjian patted the soil on his buttocks and commanded the soldiers around him.

"Yes! ......" A small reply sounded around them.

After a while, the soldiers in the forest were ready, and began to touch the edge of the forest in two ways, and soon Xiao Tianjian led the crowd to touch the edge of the forest, and waved all the soldiers to quickly bow down and hide at the edge of the forest.

Xiao Tianjian gently picked up the grass in front of him, and looked north along the direction of the official road, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a convoy of more than 20 large vehicles to appear from the official road in the north, and under the escort of dozens of armed soldiers, they walked towards their location.

Xiao Tianjian was also slightly excited, since they became an army, it is rare to do such a way to cut the path, he has been committed to building the Xingtian Army into a regular army, so he will no longer do more things such as cutting the path and tying up tickets that ordinary poles often do.

And after entering the Jin Dynasty this time, in Jiangzhou divided the troops, in order to confuse the government, they ordered all kinds of soldiers and horses to turn into ordinary poles, might as well do some cutting paths, kidnapping tickets trading, one is to confuse the government, so that they think they are just ordinary bandits, and the other is to reserve more money and food for the future, and after the province arrives at their destination, there is a shortage of money.

In this way, he and his subordinates relived the thrill of being a pole at the beginning, and now that he was going to do this kind of thing again, he naturally became a little excited.
