Chapter 82 The turbulent waves

After Jiang Qin poured down a cup of hot tea in one breath, he felt a little warm on his body, and he was not so shivering so much. Then he said to Xiao Tianjian, "This time, the humble position is mainly to tell the news about the rebels from all walks of life to the general!

Beizhi has just received some news in Yongning. Now the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun and other road volunteers have gone out of Shaanxi and Sichuan again a few days ago. They have entered Henan and Huguang areas in several ways. They have entered Jingxiang and other places, and the Scorpion Block has led the east along the river. It seems that He planned to enter Jiangbei again, while the Eighth King led 30,000 troops and gathered troops in the area of Yuzhou. He was summoned to the south. Now the soldiers pointed straight at Gwangju and seemed to be planning to attack Gwangju.

And Lord Feng from Shanxi also sent the news that Luo Rucai said that after the commander sent troops south to Henan, Luo Rucai sold 30,000 taels of silver and purchased a batch of weapons from our hometown. More than ten days ago, he led his troops to step on the ice in Hancheng and broke into Shanxi. First, he besieged Wan Rongbuke, and then threatened Xiezhou to the south, and Shanxi began to start again. In a mess, General Yan asked the general if he would cooperate with them to contain the officers and soldiers.

In addition, after the Shanxi officials lost Zezhou, they sent Xu Dingguo to lead thousands of officers and troops to launch an attack on Gaoping County 20 days ago, but they were beaten back by General Liu's fourth battalions, so they had to return to Lu'an Mansion. They should not dare to attack Gaoping again in a short time!

More than 20 days ago, the officers and soldiers in Xiezhou also tried to enter Yuanqu County, but they had also been beaten back by General Yan. General Yan said that the general could be relieved. Now there will be no loss in his hometown!

It's just that the Yellow River around the ancient city has also been frozen, and the transfer of materials in his hometown has not been easy recently. General Yan has strengthened his defense against the southern part of Yuanqu County, strictly preventing the officers and soldiers from Shaanxi or Henan from crossing the ice to the north and invade Yuanqu. Please rest assured!

During this period, General Shi has reorganized the township barracks in his hometown into seven township barracks, stationed in various places. General Liu also transferred a group of officers, and transferred more than 100 people from the youth camp to the township barracks. General Shi asked Lord Feng to tell the general that there would be no safety in his hometown for the time being. The problem is that these seven township barracks can be pulled out at any time to cooperate with General Yan in the battle, and their combat effectiveness will never be lower than that of ordinary officers and soldiers!

At the same time, General Shi also selected a thousand new graduates from among the county and township soldiers. They have been trained, and gathered them in ancient towns to standby. They can go south on the ice and enter Henan at any time to supplement the war losses of the general's battalions under his command!

As for Mr. Fu's letter saying that everything is good in the civil affairs of the family, the recent output of self-made fire in the Shuangfengzhai Jiangzuo camp has increased a lot. Before the Yellow River was frozen, the last batch of self-fired fire-fired has been shipped to Mianchi County and hidden in Xingjiazhuang. The marshal can send someone to transport this batch of self-fired fire-fire to Yongning at any time! "

After listening to this, Xiao Tianjian suddenly had a general understanding of the current situation. After a little consideration, he formed a general status map in his mind. He nodded and smiled, "Very good! Feng Gouzi, you have done a good job. Keep up the good work! These messages were sent in a timely manner, but you didn't say the current situation of Li Zicheng's department. Have you forgotten it?"

Jiang Qin quickly replied, "Oh! It was Bei Zhi who forgot to say it for a while. Lord Feng also sent news about the new king Li Zicheng. Since Li Zicheng received the weapons we provided to them, he revived in the Shangluo area. A month ago, he led the department out of the Shangluo area, first entered Hanzhong, and then rushed west to the Xihe County area, in Tianshui. In a war with Sun Chuanting's officers and soldiers in the area, Li Zicheng was defeated and fled to the west again. Now his whereabouts are unknown! I forgot to talk about it for a while just now. Please forgive me, General!"

Xiao Tianjian shook his head slightly and smiled, "It's unintentional to make you remember so many things at once. It's an unintentional to forget to say it. You don't have to blame yourself anymore!" Don't forget it again! Remember to pay more attention to the news of all kinds of volunteers. If anything happens, you should send it to me as soon as possible!

Li Zicheng is really disappointing! If we help him like this, he can't beat the officers and soldiers, hehe! When will he understand that he has no future to do this! That's all! You keep an eye on Li Zicheng's movements. If he needs our help, tell Mr. Fu not to be stingy and help him as much as possible!

As for Cao Cao's attack on Xiezhou, you should also send news to Yan Chongxi and Shi Ran as soon as possible, saying that it is my order for them to take good care of our hometown, let the barracks of all townships guard their homes, and let Luo Ru make trouble! They are only allowed to provide them with certain materials or intelligence help, but they are not allowed to cooperate with his actions! In addition, once Cao Cao suffers a loss in Xiezhou, he should prevent his scattered remnants from running to our territory. It should be collected. Once they want to harm our territory, they should warn them first. If you don't listen, repair them fiercely! I want to let everyone know that as long as it is the territory of our Xing Tianjun, no one will be allowed to touch it!

As for Yan Chongxi's side, my order was transmitted. The first battalion under his command was expanded on the spot, divided into two, and expanded into two battle camps. The newly formed war barracks was given the number of the fifth battalion of the Xingtian Army, and ensured that it could be put into battle before the New Year.

In addition, I ordered that Liu Bao's fourth battalion withdrew from Gaoping County before the end of the month and handed over the defense of Gaoping County to Gaoping and Zezhou Township Barracks. In addition, Huang Shengqiang's artillery battalion was transferred to Gaoping to guard. It was expected that even if Xu Dingguo had some ability, he could not take Gaoping, so that Liu Bao led the fourth battalion to the ancient city as soon as possible. The town, with the 1,000 new recruits who have been gathered in the ancient town, will cross the Yellow River and rush to Yongning County before the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the way, the new batch of self-fired fires in Xingjiazhuang will also be transported to Yongning for me.

That's all for now! Your people also need to strengthen the investigation of the situation of the rebels in Henan, and keep abreast of their movements, especially the actions of the Eight Great Kings. Once there is any situation, you should report it to me as soon as possible.

You have worked hard this time. Go down and have some hot soup, warm up and have a rest!"

Jiang Qin bowed to take the order, but did not immediately leave. Instead, he bowed to Xiao Tianjian and said, "There is still one thing to inform the general. The last time the general asked the general to visit the Lushan scholar Niu Jinxing, who was sent to Lushan County, have returned, saying that they have found out his news!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian raised his eyebrows and immediately asked, "Oh? So where is this person now?

Jiang Qin immediately replied, "The inferior position has just received the news that this person has a provocation with a local magustoon surnamed Wang in Lushan, defiled his resistance and forcibly occupied the woman, and sued the government. Now he has been arrested by the local government and sentenced to join the army. The place where he joins the army is here. If calculated according to time, Niu Jinxing should now Just work in Lushi County!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian immediately stood up, grabbed Jiang Qin's shoulder and asked urgently, "Is this certain?"

Jiang Qin was a scholar. His body was a little thin. He was grabbed so hard by Xiao Tianjian. Suddenly, his shoulder pain made him take a cold breath, so he quickly nodded and said, "You can be sure of a humble position! Niu Jinxing was sent to the local area a month ago. Lushan is not too far to get here. He should have been here long ago! After learning the news, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly chased him and told the general about it. He hoped that the general would send someone to investigate the whereabouts of this person here as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian saw Jiang Qin's teeth twitching and knew that he was a little gaffe, so he quickly let go of his hand, patted Jiang Qin on the shoulder and smiled, "I'm a little anxious. I'm sorry! Why is it so coincidental! It's just this time! OK, I know about this. Go down and have a quick rest! I'll send someone to visit this person!"

Looking at Jiang Qin's back, Xiao Tianjian shook his head with a wry smile. It was such a coincidence that he came to attack Lushi County, and Niu Jinxing happened to be sent here. In the past few days, the chaos in Lushi County was a mess. The random soldiers looted and burned in the city, and he killed a lot of soldiers on his side. In case Niu Jinxing died. If it's here, it's a big joke!

So he did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered Tietou to arrange manpower to visit this man named Niu Jinxing in the city to see if anyone knew the news of this person. He focused on those servists or servants who had worked in the Lu's county government office. He must find the whereabouts of Niu Jinxing and live to see people and corpses.

Tietou didn't know why Xiao Tianjian attached so much importance to this man surnamed Niu, but he always resolutely carried out Xiao Tianjian's orders, so he immediately sent the guards into the city and began to take the soldiers left behind in the city to investigate in the city.
