Chapter 191 Uncle and Nephew's Secret Discussion
After hearing the name of Xing Tianjun, He Renlong suddenly tightened his heart, because he had never heard of the name of Xing Tianjun for more than a year. Last year, when he was surrounded by Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang soldiers in Longzhou, he had a solid battle with this Xing Tianjun, Dashiqiao. He still remembers the battle. The strength of Xing Tianjun's combat effectiveness is also difficult for him to forget. With his military advantage, his men have broken several members in the hands of Xing Tianjun, and even his own nephew He Fang was captured alive by Xing Tianjun.
Later, somehow, this Xing Tianjun fell out with Li Zicheng. Suddenly, he withdrew from Longzhou City and released his own nephew He Fang on the road. Later, he didn't know where the Xing Tianjun had gone.
It turned out that he thought that after leaving Longzhou, this group of Xing Tianjun was likely to be dispersed by the officers and soldiers somewhere, or collapsed by himself in an accident. However, after hearing Hong Chengchou's instructions today, he knew that this group of Xing Tianjun actually turned thousands of miles to war and ran all the way at the end of last year. Shanxi is located in Yangcheng County.
And in this year, he made a lot of trouble in Yangcheng, Shanxi Province, and even defeated the officers and soldiers in several battles. This time, he finally found his old foe. However, he didn't know if it was a good thing for Hong Chengchou's order to him this time, but since Hong Chengchou had ordered him to send troops to Shanxi to suppress it. He didn't dare to say no.
So he quickly took over Hong Chengchou's general order and told Hong Chengchou what he knew about Xing Tianjun.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou twisted his beard and said in surprise, "So it is! I didn't expect that this Xing Tianjun once raised an army in Shaanxi! I have even dealt with you. It's so good. No one is more suitable than you to deal with them! I hope you don't live up to my expectations of you, and you will definitely get rid of this group of thieves!"
He Renlong quickly bowed and took orders. After returning to his army, he immediately summoned the generals to arrange this matter.
As soon as they heard that they were going to go to Shanxi to deal with their old army, Xing Tianjun, the generals were also slightly nervous, but they were a little excited. Although this time they were going to go to Shanxi to fight, they finally didn't have to run around in Shaanxi and chase the buttocks of those delinqued troops, not to mention this time Go to Xiezhou, which is known as a Shanxi granary, at least it is better than Shaanxi, where poor birds don't lay eggs!
Only He Fang was not in a high mood. After listening to it, he did not say much. After the generals disbanded and began to arrange, He Fang stayed in He Renlong's account and said to He Renlong, "Uncle, I'm afraid it's not a good thing that we are ordered to go to Shanxi this time. My nephew also asked my uncle to make plans early!"
He Renlong looked at He Fang and reminded him of He Fang's sentence and asked, "So you say so. Do you have no confidence in us to enter Shanxi to suppress the Xing Tianjun this time?"
Anyway, after all, it was between uncles and nephews, and there was no outsiders. He Fang then said to He Renlong, "To tell the truth, uncle, my nephew is really not optimistic about the elimination of Xing Tianjun this time. Although we have only fought with Xing Tianjun in Longzhou before, my nephew has stayed in Xing Tianjun for a long time!
According to his nephew, Xiao Tianjian is by no means an ordinary person. This person is extremely strict, and his rewards and punishments are clear. He is also very sympathetic to his soldiers and generals, which is very popular with his followers!
Moreover, this person acts decisively and is very good at training and controlling the army. His soldiers and generals are also willing to die before the battle, so we suffered such a great loss in the battle of the Great Stone Bridge! Even my nephew...
After the contact between his nephew and this Xiao Tianjian, his nephew also found that this person acted very differently from ordinary people. From this time, they moved all the way from Longzhou to Yangcheng, Shanxi Province, it can be seen that this person did what he did after careful consideration. Over the past year, although a large group of rebels have flowed around, they did not invade Shanxi. He only wandered around in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hui and Chu, while Hong Dushi only led the army to pursue and suppress these chaotic troops in these provinces, but did not pay attention to the situation in Shanxi.
This person just took advantage of this opportunity to settle down in Yangcheng, Shanxi Province. It can be seen that this person can only predict the world's major events, at least in terms of the general trend, he is also extraordinary! Otherwise, as long as he is a normal person, he will join forces with the king and other large groups of chaos to protect himself, but he has to take less than 2,000 troops and run thousands of miles away to Shanxi. It can be seen that this person is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people!
In the past year, according to the war report sent by the governor of Shanxi, his Xingtian army is probably not what we encountered in the past. Otherwise, with the strength of Shanxi and the support of the border army, how can we not deal with this small Xing Tianjun? And now Lord Wu will not even ask for help from Governor Hong!
So my nephew thought that we should not be too careless when we went to Shanxi this time to suppress it! I'm afraid it will be very difficult to destroy our 5,000 soldiers and horses as a guest army! If you are not careful, you may end up with a very bad end. I hope you can think more about how to solve this problem! Otherwise, I'm afraid we will repeat the mistakes of the Shanxi officers and soldiers. We must be unprevented!"
After listening to what He Fang said, He Renlong couldn't help hesitating. Although he fought with Li Zicheng in Shaanxi and his gang of thieves, after all, the thieves are just thieves. Sometimes it seems that there are many people, but most of them are mobs. Only a few of them are able to fight, so they really deal with it. He Renlong is really not very timid about these thieves. As long as you are careful, don't bump into their encirclement. Generally speaking, there is not much problem, but what He Fang said is very reasonable about going to Shanxi to deal with Xing Tianjun.
After all, when I was against the Xingtian Army a year ago, the Xingtian Army was only less than 2,000, and it showed a strong combat effectiveness. What's more, after a year of ambush in Shanxi, their strength will certainly not be too few, and with He Fang's understanding of Xiao Tianjian, this person is good at controlling soldiers. Training soldiers, and the tactics he uses are also very difficult to deal with. If he only relies on the 5,000 soldiers and horses he currently has to deal with them, he may not be their opponent.
At present, He Renlong also saw that as long as there were soldiers and generals at hand, the court would regard them as treasures. If he went to Shanxi this time to fight all the soldiers at hand, then once he was defeated, what would happen to wait for him. He Renlong shuddered when he thought about it.
So he asked He Fang, "So from what you can see, how should we deal with it?"
He Fang blinked his eyes and said to He Renlong, "Now my nephew doesn't dare to say anything, but you can test them first. If not, then use the formula. After all, it's getting cold. We can stay in Xiezhou. It's not a Shanxi granary. Whether it's raising grain or raising salaries, it's far better than Shaanxi. It's convenient here. It's not too late to wait until Hong Dushi can draw more troops here! ......”
