Li Xin said suddenly: "Great boss, it is said that our department saved a large number of families of the rebels in the Baocheng Temple in the north of Fenzhou City last time, and it is said that with this lesson, the enemy should no longer put their families in Qi County and Taigu County, which are very close to Lingshi County......

Dragon Thirteen felt a pang in his heart, "You mean this is another trap? But there aren't many people in Taiyuan Mansion."

However, he quickly thought of something, "At present, the official and military departments, some of the famous ones are that the Tianxiong Army has not seen it, and if they want to win by surprise, they can only dispatch the Tianxiong Army, and they all say that Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army is powerful, but they don't know where it is powerful."

Then he said, "How much do you know about Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army?"

Li Xin nodded, "I know a little bit about it."

"Lu Xiangsheng was originally the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, when Jiannu first entered the Kou, he selected the guards and people in the three mansions of the Daimyo's Mansion, Guangping Mansion, and Shunde Mansion, and organized and trained the regiment, which was originally for the use of King Qin, but he didn't expect that the team had not yet been trained, and Jiannu retreated."

"At this time, his regiment from the three provinces drove to the southwest of Shandong Province near Cao County to encircle and suppress the Yuyuan thieves, and it is said that the effect was very good, so the imperial court appointed him as the above-mentioned three prefectures to prepare the road, and continued to command the men and horses of the three prefectures."

"The above three mansions were the Tianxiong Army's envoy in the Tang Dynasty, so at this time people called it the Tianxiong Army, and even today it has been recognized, and the establishment of Xu Renma is allowed."

"It is said that men and horses are only cavalry, but they attach great importance to firearms and crossbow arrows, and the Tianxiong Army is one of the few troops in the Ming Dynasty that has formed crossbowmen, about people, and about a thousand firecrackers, and the rest are pikemen like our small and strong brigade."

"The formation of its pikemen is also very similar to that of our army, and the spears placed in front are more than one foot and three feet long, thick and long, and cannot be held by non-wrestlers."

"His soldiers are all from the above three prefectures, they are all villagers in the township, and the cohesion is very strong, and most of the sentry generals use those with higher prestige in the township, which can be described as a finger and a hundred responses."

"Lu Xiangsheng himself has great strength, and this dynasty stipulates that anyone who wants to take the martial arts examination must be able to easily lift a stone lock of one hundred and twenty catties, and the more times he lifts it, the higher the ranking."

"At the beginning of this year, this dynasty conducted the first palace test of the martial arts, and a big knife weighing one hundred and twenty pounds was placed in the Wude Palace, and in the end, only two people could dance, hehe......

"Li Xin, why are you laughing?"

"Big boss, who do you guess these two are?"

"How do I know? Hurry up."

"Yes, this matter has been reported to the palace, so the ministry learned that it is said that the first name is Wang Laipin, who was given the title of 'Wu Zhuangyuan', and he is also one of the people who can dance a hundred and twenty pounds of broadsword, and the other is called Xu Yanqi......

"Is that him?"

"Yes, this person is strong in martial arts and brave, but unfortunately he doesn't know anything about writing and ink, and in the end he still fell to Sun Shan, but he didn't expect to die at the hands of the big boss in the end, and that Wang Laipin was awarded the deputy chief soldier immediately after being named the champion of martial arts, and took a Beijing battalion of soldiers and horses to Dengzhou to encircle and suppress Kong Youde's rebels."

"What the ministry wants to say is that looking at the world, there are countless people who are strong in martial arts, but those who can really dance a hundred and twenty catties of broadsword and can use it as their own weapon can be counted on one hand, and although Lu Xiangsheng is a civil official, he can dance."

"This is also an important reason why Lu Xiangsheng's army is called the Tianxiong Army suspected of having a feudal town, but Jinshang not only didn't think about it, but also awarded him the sword of Shang Fang."

"In your opinion, will Lu Xiangsheng appear in Fenzhou?"

"It's unlikely, the largest and most powerful guard in Gyeonggi, the soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Right Guard of Zhending Mansion are still in Qinzhou, it is impossible to go to Gyeonggi to pursue Gao Yingxiang and others, I originally thought it was Zukuan's Guanning army, but in the end it was not."

"By the way, the information provided by the Genjun prisoners, originally Zu Kuan was indeed sent to the Daimyo's Mansion, but later he changed his fortune, and it was Lu Xiangsheng who succeeded him!"

"So in addition to Xu Dingchen, Wang Pu, and Cao Wenzhao, there are no more people in the land of Fenzhou?"

Li Xin said: "Taiyuan is a big city, and there were originally three guards, how can it also draw elites, if there are more people

Taiyuan's soldiers and horses."

"Besides, there is still Zhenwuwei in Daizhou, if it is commanded by a general, it is still not to be underestimated, Zijinliang and others have just retreated into Mianshan, and it is understandable that the old battalion personnel intercepted by the official army are still near Qi County and Taigu County in the mountain pass."

Long Thirteen looked at Li Zhanchun, "Can you inquire clearly where the old camp of the righteous army is placed?"

Li Zhanchun replied: "This time seems to be different from the last time, without Jiannu to make trouble, the officials and soldiers would have already selected all the people they co-use, young and good-looking women and children have long been selected to the county seat of Qi County and Taigu County, and the rest of the elderly, the sick, and the weak will naturally be killed and reported to the military department as 'merit'

"There should be more than 10,000 pairs of young men and women left, they were sent to the capital, after the last Jiannu disaster near the capital, a large number of people were lost, and most of the fields near the capital are in the hands of the emperor's relatives and the relatives of the great eunuchs, just let these people go to replace them."

"For the officials and soldiers, it is also an additional way to make friends with the emperor's relatives and eunuchs, by the way, there is a fort between Qi County and Taigu County, called Dongguan Fort, which was originally a thousand households, and later due to the deep inland, the military fort gradually became a merchant fort."

(Dongguanbao, Dongguan Town, later Qi County)

"It is said that the Fan family in Fenzhou is the largest, but there is also a family in Qi County that is quite famous, this person is called Zhai Tang, the ancestor was originally a hundred households in Dongguanbao, and later went to Zhangjiakou to do business, and in Zhai Tang's generation it is already the largest merchant in Qi County, second only to Fan Yongdou in Fenzhou."

"Later, some of the children of the Zhai family were admitted to the martial arts, so they inherited the position of a thousand households in Dongguanbao, in fact, there were only one or two hundred crooked soldiers in the thousand households, but it was a lively business castle."

"The Mianshan to the east of it used to be the hermitage of Jie Zitui, the temple road has many spectators, the tourists used to be weaving, among them there are many dignitaries and nobles, because the Dongguan Fort is located in the place where the mountain must pass, so the teahouse and wine shop here are extremely prosperous."

"Also, Mianshan produces a large number of oak wood and elm, which is a high-quality material for making high-quality gun barrels, Kaiyuan bows, and high-quality furniture, and Jiaokou Fort and Lingshi County, Dongguanbao undertook the production of first-class gun barrels and bow bodies in Shanxi Town and Datong Town, of course, which is naturally related to the town guard eunuchs."

"It is said that a good gun costs one or two halves of silver, and the actual silver also makes a profit, and this extra money is naturally divided by officials of all sizes."

"In addition, in addition to making furniture, the elm tree here is also a raw material for the locals to extract oil, and its bark can be used to make paper and weave ropes."

"Third, Mianshan is extremely rich in medicinal materials, which is the industry started by the Fan family and the Zhai family in Fenzhou, although they are keen on border trade, the Zhai family is still the largest medicinal material trading house in Shanxi."

"Fourth, the mountains of Shanxi have the convenience of grazing horses, and this mountain is no exception, of course, all the horses produced here are pack horses and ploughing horses, and this has become the largest horse and mule town in Fenzhou."

"The ministry has been rambling for a long time, talking about this big horse and mule market, there is a large horse and mule market in the east of Dongguanbao, and when the rebels crossed the border, they naturally took away all the livestock inside, so it was empty, and now the more than 10,000 young men and women are placed there."

Long 13 nodded, "Since this is the key point to enter Mianshan, then there is a road to Qinzhou......

"Yes, starting from Dongguanbao, go straight to the southeast, and in the mountains is the Longzhouyu Inspection Division, and there are post roads leading directly to Qinzhou, Wuxiang County, and Yushe County in Liaozhou......

"Liaozhou?"

Long Thirteen suddenly understood something.

"According to the previous information, the deputy general of the Beijing battalion stationed in Liaozhou is as fierce as a tiger, if the official army deliberately places the old camp of the righteous army in Dongguanbao to attract us to come to the rescue, at that time, Xu Dingchen of Fenzhou in the west, Wang Pu of Qi County, and Cao Wenzhao of Jiexiu County will definitely be dispatched to surround us."

"Then as fierce as a tiger and then lead the army to kill from Longzhouyu Valley Road, it can indeed have a surprising effect."

The autumn harvest will be over in a few days, according to his idea, after the autumn harvest is over, he will lead the army south, and he doesn't want to make any more extraneous branches before that, but there are tens of thousands of pairs of young men and women in Dongguanbao!

Last time, the Baocheng Temple north of Fenzhou also rescued 3,000 young and strong men and women, if they can find it in the future

When you go to a place where you can be safe and stable in Tuntian, these young men and women are good candidates for Tuntian.

10,000 pairs, how many fields can be planted!

The so-called young and strong men and women refer to the fact that after the rebels coerced the population, they included men above and below the age of 30 into the barracks, but there were still many people over the age of 30 who could not fight, but they were good at farming.

But if it's not a trap, but the officers and soldiers haven't had time to transfer it, then it's too late for me to regret it.

After the last time he went to Fenzhou to rescue a group of old camp personnel, the name of the Xiaoqiang Brigade has become famous in the rebel army, although it has not been officially announced, but most of the rebels have already called him Long 13 and Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, and Zhang Mengcun as the four major leaders.

What's more, since rescuing the old camp, his recruitment in Lingshi County and Huozhou has been very smooth-even if he opens a warehouse to release grain, it is still much better to follow a team of thieves who do not give up any old and weak than a team of thieves who ignore it.

The human heart is flesh and blood, and this point is still very clear.

If all the old battalions in Dongguanbao are rescued again, then his prestige in the righteous army will rise to a new level, and if he is really in Henan in the future, he will also have a head and face in front of other leaders.

Long Thirteen remembered that after the thirty-six families in Shanxi went to Henan, they became thirteen, where did the other families go?

Except for some of them being exterminated by the official army, most of them were annexed by other rebel armies.

With these fame, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to contain the remnants of the ragged rebel army and annex other battalion heads?

"It's done!"

Long Thirteen finally made up his mind!

"Dispatch 1,400 cavalry, two pikemen, firearms, and artillery, this time, He Jinlong and Bai Wenxuan will follow, Huozhou will be garrisoned by Li Xin and Wu Dading, and Lingshi County will be garrisoned by Yuan Zongdi, and three days later, they will assemble in Lingshi County, quasi-dry food, and set off early in the morning of the fourth day!"
