On the first day of the second month, the Jiangning battalion left Luoyang and marched along the areas of Xin'an County, Mianchi County, and Shaanzhou.

At the same time, Su Tiancheng put forward a request, Liu Tiehan led a part of the scouts to guard the surrounding situation, and Qu Qingze took a part of the scouts to enter the territory of Shanxi to find out the movements of the rogues as much as possible.

At the same time as the Jiangning battalion was opened, Hong Chengchou also sent someone to contact him and provide the information he had to the Jiangning battalion.

This information, in Su Tiancheng's eyes, is not worth mentioning, and it has been outdated for a long time.

Through the intelligence of the dark line, Su Tiancheng already knew that Liukou did not operate in Pingyang Mansion this time, and after leaving Shaanxi, he directly entered Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion to operate.

To say that the courage of the Liukou is still a little big, Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion, there are more imperial army garrisons, especially in the Datong area, which belongs to the border town, the border army is dense, and the Liukou choose to operate in these places, I don't know if the Liudao is afraid of the Jiangning camp, of course, the Liukou activities in these places have indeed caused a lot of trouble to Jiangning, the distance is far away, if the Jiangning Camp wants to exterminate the Liukou, it takes too much energy.

Su Tiancheng would not do such a stupid thing.

After the army entered the territory of Pinglu County, it was stationed.

At least the more than 10,000 soldiers who have newly joined the Jiangning battalion are fully able to adapt, which also shows that Su Tiancheng's strategy of recruiting sergeants is very correct, and from the perspective of the personnel composed of the Jiangning battalion, they are the most brave and good at fighting. It is still the earliest group of people, these people are Xiong Tingbi's personal soldiers, and their military literacy is not ordinary, followed by the two battalions of the Xiaocai battalion, and what is unexpected is that the sergeants recruited from the middle of the rogues. The quality is not weaker than the guards of the Jin Palace, and the worst ones are the sergeants recruited from the area of Baoding Mansion.

This also made Su Tiancheng make up his mind, in the future, it is to expand the Jiangning camp and increase the scale, and not to easily recruit ordinary people from the people, after all, he does not have so much time to consume.

Sun Chuanting knew Su Tiancheng's purpose, and after the army was stationed, he continued to focus on the training of sergeants, just like in the barracks. Daily training is essential, in fact, the army pulls out for training, which has more benefits, and in places where people are not familiar with life, they can sharpen their soldiers.

As for the grain and grass, there is no need to worry at all, when the Jiangning camp set off, it was enough to prepare a month's worth of grain and grass.

After Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying left Henan Mansion. It didn't cause much fluctuation, as if Jiangningying didn't belong to Henan Mansion in the first place. The army of Henan Prefecture is mainly stationed in Hongnongwei in Shaanzhou, and the rest of the prefectures and counties, mainly local militia groups, are directly responsible for public security and other matters.

Because of the successive years of famine and the fact that Henan is a poor place, the situation of Hongnongwei is very bad. The situation of the sergeants is far worse than that of the common people, and Su Tiancheng once understood the situation when he was in Shaanzhou. The sergeants did not have much combat effectiveness, and the sergeants who fled abounded, and the entire Hongnongwei had less than 3,000 sergeants, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Comparatively, the militia groups in various places are still good, and the militia is mainly composed of sergeants from the inspection department, and their combat effectiveness is probably stronger than that of Hongnongwei.

In such a situation, Qu Qingze with a hundred scouts will definitely be able to make a mess in Henan Mansion.

From the fifth day of the second lunar month, panicked scenes began to appear in Henan Province.

After Jiang Ningying left Henan Mansion, there were Liukou here, and Liukou was very powerful.

In the past, there were large groups of people and small troops, but most of them were aimed at villages and towns, and rarely directly targeted the prefectures and counties, but this time the rogues were different, directly targeting the city, when they entered the city, they were unaware, no one knew the way at all, and the target of the rogues was specifically aimed at the gentry and wealthy households.

Although it is said that some gentry and wealthy families left the state and county and went to live in Luoyang or Kaifeng, it was still impossible to move away from the old mansion, and there were still some gold and silver treasures in the house.

The rogues did not disturb others, and often after entering the mansions of the gentry and wealthy families, they cleanly controlled the courtyard and looted the money, and the rogues did not want too much food, and occasionally plundered some salt and refined grain, and the focus was on gold and silver treasures.

Only five days have passed, and Yiyang, Xin'an, Yongning, Lushi, Songxian and other places have been in emergency one after another.

The rogues moved so quickly that the gentry and wealthy households in Henan Province changed their color.

The strange thing is that some gentry and wealthy families, afraid of being harassed by the rogues, left the county seat, and rushed to Luoyang, they were also looted by the rogues, and all the gold and silver treasures they carried were robbed, but fortunately, there were no casualties.

Tan Changluo, who presided over the affairs of the government, was already anxious.

He couldn't have imagined that Liukou, who was far away in Shanxi, would come to Henan Mansion again for something.

The imperial court has sent a large army to exterminate the Liukou, the army led by Hong Chengchou entered Sichuan, chasing and suppressing the Liukou, the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng entered Shanxi, chasing and suppressing the Liukou, the guards in Shanxi and Sichuan are also fully armed, seeing that the Liukou is at the end of the road, but at this time, the Liukou took advantage of the loophole and entered Henan Mansion.

Liukou did things neatly, unknowingly, Tan Changluo felt nervous.

The sergeants of the Henan Prefecture Inspection Division, he was not moved, most of these sergeants were loyal to the former prefect, the prefect was transferred out of Henan Mansion and went to the capital, these sergeants were restless, and they did not know the way out in the future, especially after the Jiangning battalion came to Henan Mansion, the military spirit was almost scattered.

If Liukou comes to Luoyang, he may have an inextricable relationship with him, who is temporarily in charge of the overall work.

Without doing anything, Tan Changluo gritted his teeth and went directly to find the blessed king Zhu Changxun.

In King Fu's mansion, there are more than 2,000 guards, and the combat effectiveness of these guards is very good.

It's a pity that he thought a little simpler.

King Fu didn't see him at all, and sent a butler to deal with the matter.

King Fu's meaning, the guard of the palace, the duty is to protect the safety of the palace, can not meddle in local affairs, otherwise the emperor and the court blame it, can not afford it, as for the Henan Mansion there are liukou, isn't there Jiangning Battalion and Hongnongwei, there are so many troops, specifically responsible for local peace, the government can ask for dispatch.

Tan Changluo touched the ash of his nose.

For the sake of this, he faintly knew that after Su Tiancheng became the prefect of Henan Mansion, he never visited King Fu, at this time, King Fu must have an idea, and he will definitely not do it if he helps the government do things for no reason, unless it is Tan Changluo who makes a decision and gives silver, King Fu's attitude may be loosened.

Speaking of silver, Tan Changluo's bag, don't say that he is not qualified to use the silver taels in the treasury, that is, by qualifications, what can he do with the little silver taels in the treasury, the pitiful silver taels, it will be difficult to maintain the officials' salaries, not to mention doing other things.

The tide of folds was sent to the government.

Tan Changluo was already in the news, and the excerpts he sent were all said to have encountered a rogue and suffered heavy losses, and he asked the government to find a way to solve it, and he almost didn't have the heart to look at these excerpts.

But things still have to be done.

Tan Changluo was helpless, and he took the pen to the court, and at the same time, he also sent officials into Shanxi to send a letter to the prefect, so that the prefect knew the situation in Henan Mansion.

On February 12, the terrifying news came to Tan Changluo.

The inspection department of Lingbao County was ransacked by the rogue, and the rogues tied up the officers and soldiers of the inspection department into zongzi, and took away all the ordnance and silver.

The Inspection Division was attacked by rogues, and this is no small matter.

If the rogues can easily break through the inspection department, wouldn't it be easy to take the county seat.

Fortunately, this is a small force of Liukou, if the big army comes, wouldn't it mean that Luoyang can't be saved.

Tan Changluo made up his mind, and wrote three memorals to the imperial court one after another, explaining the grim situation in Henan Mansion, and at the same time, asking the government to do everything possible to report the situation here to the prefect who was fighting abroad.

Su Tiancheng knew all this.

The soldiers he led the Jiangning battalion have always been stationed in Pinglu County, of course, the Jiangning battalion has not been idle, the bandits in Pinglu, Ruicheng, Jiezhou, Anyi, and Xia County have all been exterminated by the Jiangning battalion, and all the gold and silver treasures seized, including grain, have been distributed to the poor people.

If you want to say that this is also Su Tiancheng's hometown, it is also appropriate to do something for the people of your hometown.

Of course, Su Huawen and others, who were in Pingyang Prefecture, did not know that Su Tiancheng had already arrived in Pinglu County, which was under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture, with Jiangning Camp. After all, the edict of the Ministry of War was only issued to the Jiangning battalion, and there was no request for subsidies for grain and grass from Fuzhou and counties along the way.

The Jiangning battalion was stationed in Pinglu County and was as stable as a rock.

On the contrary, Gao Yingxiang and others in Shaanxi, because of the withdrawal of the imperial army, gained space for survival, and quickly began to develop and grow, with more and more people, and there was a faint feeling of recovery. Gao Yingxiang and others led Liukou, in the first month and February, to attack the next two county towns respectively and go to the supply of grain and grass.

In the imperial court, there was also a lot of controversy.

In the face of such a situation, the opinions of the military department were not unanimous, some people believed that it was still necessary to persist in exterminating the Liukou, and some people believed that the current situation was not good, and if the Liukou continued to develop and grow, the victory of the battle of Zhongdu would not be of great significance.

Su Tiancheng has written the first secret letter, analyzed the current situation in detail, and put forward his own suggestions.

This secret fold went directly to Zhu Youzhen's hands. (To be continued......)
