Chapter 183 Precious Guest
During the training of Xing Tianjun, the example of Zhao Erlu's battle in Liujiabao has also become a typical negative textbook, which has been repeatedly preached in the army. In this way, the concept of collective warfare in Xing Tianjun has been further strengthened.
However, the most unhappy person is Zhao Erli. This time he has become a negative model. Although Xiao Tianjian praised his insistence on resisting Liu Jiazhuang after being frustrated during officer training, it still can't offset his command error in this matter, which makes Zhao Erru think that Xiao Tianjian is too much not to face him. Son, he has become a joke.
It was precisely because the officers and soldiers were defeated in both battles that no officers and soldiers were sent to touch the bad head of Xing Tianjun in a short period of time, so it also won a lot of precious time for Xiao Tianjian and let Xiao Tianjian complete this large-scale training work. After entering September, all affairs in the area controlled by Xing Tianjun were on the right track. Xiao Tianjian just finished the training work for the Xing Tianjun. In early September, he sent the soldiers of the third battalion again, and equipped the artillery and scouts to the battalions. The three battalions attacked at the same time and divided the troops into three ways. Yan Chongxi's first battalion returned to Yuanqu County and tried to capture the whole territory of Yuanqu County except the county seat before the year. Luo Li's second battalion. They attacked the area of Qinshui County to the north and tried to control the periphery of Qinshui County in the hands of Xingtian Army a few years ago, while Li Shuanzhu's third battalions attacked the area south of Zezhou to the east. In addition to fighting for grain, they controlled the southern part of Zezhou in the hands of Xingtian Army as much as possible.
This time for Xing Tianjun, it is another large-scale operation. A total of more than 4,000 soldiers are used, excluding the accompanying township troops as auxiliary troops. If included, almost 10,000 troops can reach nearly 10,000.
And this operation not only involved the first series of soldiers of the Xingtian Army, but also the first series of civilian affairs of Fu Deming's side. Fu Deming was also ordered to organize more than 100 subordinates at the same time and be equipped with three people in three routes. The purpose is very simple, which is where the Xingtian Army went to fight. One place, consolidate one place, transfer one place, expand the actual control area of the Xingtian Army with Yangcheng as the center to the maximum extent, obtain more land, population and resources, and prepare in advance for the next step to deal with the advance of the army.
After the third battalion was ordered, they immediately ordered troops to set out. In order to ensure the stability of this operation, Xiao Tianjian also specially strengthened Wang Chengping's cavalry to the third battalion of Li Shuanzhu, so that Li Shuanzhu's battalion could gain stronger combat effectiveness in the southern plain of Zezhou.
And Xiao Tianjian did not fight with any team this time. He sat in Zhenyang City to command this operation, with Liu Bao's new barracks as a reserve, ready to deal with unexpected events at any time.
Just before Xing Tianjun's people from all walks of life were ordered to leave, Xiao Tianjian unexpectedly welcomed a guest in Lianhuazhai.
Without prior notice, Fan Xi suddenly took several cars to the Lotus Village. Now the vanity of the Fan family has a detached position in the Xing Tianjun. The Xing Tianjun specially provides a small flag for the Fan family. Any caravan with such a small flag is entering the Xingtian Army-controlled area. They can be protected by Xing Tianjun, which can ensure their safety and smooth flow. As a secret partner of Xing Tianjun, the Fan family can naturally pass unimpeded within the jurisdiction of Xing Tianjun.
Therefore, Fan Xi came to Lianhuazhai, and did not need to make an appointment in advance, but directly took a few cars to the outside of Lianhuazhai camp, and handed in a worship post at the gate of the big camp.
Xiao Tianjian was a little surprised after receiving the notice, because since he established a cooperative relationship between Xing Tianjun and the Fan family, Shuangyi has been operating secretly. Later, after Feng Gouzi was transferred from the army, the contact with the Fan family was basically handed over to Feng Gouzi.
Fan Xi usually runs back and forth between Xiezhou and Yangcheng and keeps in touch with Feng Gouzi, without involving more people knowing the relationship between Xing Tianjun and the Fan family.
Like today, Fan Xi went straight to Xing Tianjun's camp to visit Xiao Tianjian, which has not happened in the past few months.
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian was a little strange about Fan Xi's visit, but considering the current cooperative relationship between the two sides, he still ordered Fan Xi and his party to bring them into the Lotus Village and gave them directly to the yard where he worked.
After hearing that Fan Xi had arrived outside the hospital, Xiao Tianjian put down the matter at hand and greeted him outside the hospital in person. As soon as he went out, he saw Fan Xi standing at the gate with several people waiting for Xiao Tianjian's summons.
So Xiao Tianjian immediately smiled and said to Fan Xi, "I don't know what kind of wind blew Fan's housekeeper to me?" It's not that there is any trouble here. Come and complain to me in person! Ha ha!"
Fan Xi also smiled and hugged his fist and said, "No, no! It's just that this time I have a very important matter. I want to discuss with the general, so I took the liberty to come to pay homage to the general directly. I hope the general will forgive me!"
Seeing what Fan Xi said, Xiao Tianjian immediately let it into his own courtyard and took Fan Xi to his living room. When Fan Xi entered the yard, the guard at the door reached out to stop the person who followed Fan Xi and prevented him from following Fan Xi into the yard.
And this person has been bowing his head. Xiao Tianjian did not see his face. After turning his head and looking at Fan Xi again, Fan Xi quickly said, "This is an important guest I brought. I hope the general will also invite him in!"
Xiao Tianjian looked at this person and saw that he was wearing a thick cloth robe. He didn't look like a subordinate, but he didn't look like a very important person. He didn't know what Fan Xi was doing with such a person, so he nodded and said, "Let him in!"
The man immediately arched his hand and followed Fan Xi into the yard. He came to Xiao Tianjian's living room. Xiao Tianjian ordered him to watch the seat and serve tea, so he sat in the position of his hands.
But after the person who followed Fan Xi entered the room, he straightened up and sat in Fan Xi's position. Xiao Tianjian then guessed the identity of this person.
After the man raised his head, Xiao Tianjian saw that the man's face was ruddy, about 40 or 50 years old. He was slightly fat, with a neat combed beard on his lower jaw, and there seemed to be a familiar feeling between his eyebrows.
After Xiao Tianjian was stunned for a moment, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha... Xiao didn't know that it was Shopkeeper Fan who came to the cold house in person. It's rude and rude!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but immediately laughed: "I don't know how the general can see my identity? It's Fan Yaoshan! ......”
