After Xiao Tianjian learned the news of Luo Li's occupation in Suizhou, he carefully understood Xu Shichun's personality to the person who sent the letter, so he immediately gave Luo Li an order to continue to keep Xu Shichun as the governor of Suizhou, treat Xu Shichun well, give the best care, let him recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and his family also gave protection and proper placement.

After Luo Li received Xiao Tianjian's instructions, he immediately complied, continued to keep Xu Shichun as the governor of Suizhou, and dispatched the best medical officer to treat his injuries, and at the same time ordered the Xingtian army to go up and down, in the Suizhou area, not to kill a good people, as much as possible not to disturb the people, in this way, Xu Shichun had already held the heart of death, and sternly refused Luo Li's persuasion to surrender, and wanted to be loyal to the court with death, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, the people of the Xingtian Army not only killed him, but also retained him to continue to be the governor of Suizhou, So after thinking about it for a long time, I also heard about the Xingtian Army's approach to the people in Suizhou, and finally sighed and could only agree.

And after Luo Li conquered Suizhou, the Xingtian army has basically pointed to Wuchang, but because Xiao Tianjian's main force has not yet defeated Jingzhou, so Luo Li did not immediately march to Wuchang alone, but began to rest in Suizhou, and at the same time continued to Suizhou as the center, divided troops towards the surrounding counties, and at the same time sent a team of soldiers and horses to Guangzhou, at present, all parts of Henan have basically been controlled by the Xingtian army, and only Guangzhou, the southernmost part of Henan, is still under the control of the government, and there are thousands of officers and troops stationed in Guangzhou. It is like driving a nail in the stomach of the Xingtian Army, which will attack the hinterland of Henan from time to time, and has become a problem for the Xingtian Army.

Originally, if Xiao Tianjian didn't send a large army south to attack Huguang this time, it would be easy to pull out this nail with the strength of the Xingtian Army, but considering the importance of Xiangyang, Xiao Tianjian finally postponed the use of troops against Guangzhou, and now after Luo Li won Suizhou, he freed up his hands to deal with the nail of Guangzhou.

Luo Li was ordered to personally lead 5,000 men and horses to go straight to Gwangju, and Liu Bao, who was sitting in Henan at this time, also sent his deputy commander Tang Jian to start from Runing Mansion and attack Gwangju, and cooperated with Luo Li to start using troops in the Gwangju area.

After Xiao Tianjian went south, Henan was actually not too clean, after all, the number of Xingtian Army left in Henan was not much, only Liu Bao's fourth division was in charge, although the fourth division had been expanded to a town, but because the Xingtian Army could not afford to raise more soldiers and horses, the number of soldiers was controlled at more than 20,000 people, and more than 20,000 people were responsible for such a large territory in Henan.

Therefore, after Liu Bao took over the affairs of Henan, he divided the soldiers and horses under his command into several places such as Shaanzhou, Weihui Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Nanyang Mansion and Guide Mansion, and the rest of the prefectures and counties only left one or two reserve battalions to guard, based on these points, responsible for supporting various places, so as to raise as few soldiers as possible, and raise more soldiers in the people, fortunately, although there are not many regular soldiers, but there are many reserve battalions in various places, after rough statistics, the reserve battalion strength in various parts of Henan has reached more than 70,000 people, Under the command of Xiao Tianjian, each reserve battalion has more than 100 standing soldiers, which is actually the backbone of each reserve battalion, which is responsible for the local anti-theft affairs in peacetime, and is also responsible for taking a few days a month to train the soldiers of the reserve battalion.

Although the Xingtian Army basically controlled the entire Henan, and the civil and military officials of the Xingtian Army were also stationed in various places to preside over local affairs and military affairs, but after all, they had not been on the ground for a long time, although the ordinary people were very loyal to the Xingtian Army, but after all, there were some earlier gentry who hated the Xingtian Army, after Xiao Tianjian led the main force south to Huguang, these gentry who were lucky enough to leave their lives in various places saw the emptiness of the Xingtian Army's strength, so they began to move, Seeing that a large number of the fields that originally belonged to their family were distributed to ordinary people by the Xingtian Army, they were really unwilling, so they quickly gathered a group of people of the same clan or old officials in various places, trying to counterattack the Xingtian Army in Henan, attacking the Xingtian Army's military stations in various places from time to time, as well as the village forts where ordinary people gathered, and even gathering more people to attack the county seat.

Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian led the main force south, the pressure on Liu Bao, who stayed in Henan, was also very great, and it can be said that the gourd was pressed to float the scoop, and the counterattack forces in various places could be said to be endless, which really gave Liu Bao a little headache.

Now in Henan, people loyal to the current imperial court have become the targets of suppression, and the actions of these gentry are undoubtedly a huge obstacle to Henan's recovery of production economy.

For this reason, although Xiao Tianjian led his troops south, he often had to keep an eye open on the affairs of Henan, and when he learned that more and more such counterattack forces appeared in the central and eastern regions of Henan, Xiao Tianjian had to pass on an order to Liu Bao to carry out a three-month strike hard operation in various parts of Henan.

Taking advantage of the agricultural leisure time before the summer harvest, the reserve battalions in various places were concentrated to thoroughly wipe out these counterattack forces in various parts of Henan.

So after April, the whole of Henan launched a large-scale purge operation, the reserve battalions were basically convened, and began to use troops on a large scale against these forces in Henan against the Xingtian Army, for a time all parts of Henan continued to smoke, and at the end of June, this kind of resistance to the Xingtian Army in Henan was basically suppressed, and during the entire two-month period, according to the statistics of officials in Henan, At least hundreds of rebel armies organized by large and small gentry and old officials of the government were suppressed, and for a time in Henan were killed a lot of heads, at least more than 20,000 or 30,000 heads, and within these two months, they were cut down by the Xingtian soldiers from all over the country, so that the situation in Henan could be regarded as gradually settling down.

For such a thing, Xiao Tianjian has no choice, after all, their rebellion against the Xingtian Army has touched the vital interests of a considerable number of landlords, seeing that the land and property belonging to them have been seized by the Xingtian Army and redistributed to the people who have lost their land, these vested interests will definitely be very unhappy, and it is impossible not to resist, this kind of thing may exist for a long time in the area controlled by the Xingtian Army in the future, so in the troubled times, you can't tolerate and accommodate this kind of person, when you should kill them, You can't be soft, now Xiao Tianjian has thoroughly understood what the ancients said, once you will succeed, killing one person is a crime, killing 100,000 people and millions of people, that is the meaning of heroes.

Just when Liu Bao was in command of various parts of Henan to clean up the rebel forces, the imperial court also made a new response to the Xingtian Army, after all, the imperial court is still very powerful, although the officials and troops in various places are unusable, but the number is still far more than the Xingtian Army many times, and the financial resources of the Xingtian Army are only currently controlling a province in Henan and the southern part of Shanxi, and some areas in the north of Huguang and Guangxi, and the financial resources are still not comparable with the imperial court, so Chongzhen ordered the new governor Sun Chuanting to supervise the officials and troops in Hebei, Shandong and other places after May. entered Henan to suppress the Xingtian Army.

Although Sun Chuanting was not the new governor for a long time and did not have a few decent soldiers under his command, because Emperor Zhu Youzhen was really pressing, he had to lead the newly recruited thousands of men and horses south to the area of Guangping Mansion, mobilize officials and troops from Funan and all over Shandong, and start to fight against the Xingtian army.

At the end of June, Sun Chuanting mobilized nearly 50,000 officers and troops, and marched to Zhangde Mansion and Dingtao in two ways, respectively, to Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng and Guide Mansion to form an offensive situation.

Correspondingly, Liu Bao also gathered more than 10,000 soldiers, and stationed in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion separately, and at the same time also deployed 3,000 soldiers in Guide Mansion, and mobilized more than 10,000 reserve battalions from all over the country, ready to meet Sun Chuanting's attack.
