Chapter 5 Regaining the old business

As for the sudden crossing of the Yellow River and entering Shanxi, the news soon reached the governor of Pingyang Prefecture. After hearing the news for the first time, the magistrate Liu Qingde was shocked and immediately approved the strict defense of all localities. At the same time, he ordered the states and counties under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture to check the whereabouts of the thief army. Once this thief army was found, he mobilized his troops to encircle and suppress it.

But a few days later, the feedback from various places made him completely confused. After the thief army crossed the river into Jin, it disappeared quietly. The states and counties were not attacked by the thief army. Like a mud cow entering the sea, there was no more movement.

In this way, the Pingyang magistrate and several dignitaries of Pingyang Prefecture are a little confused. They still remember the scene when the large number of thieves invaded Shanxi in the five years of Chongzhen.

After the 200,000 people's army broke into the territory under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture under the leadership of the fierce Zijin Sorghum King, Wang Gao Yingxiang, the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and others, they attacked the city all the way, burned, killed, plundered and did everything. Lian Ke Daning, Qizhou, Zezhou, Shouyang, Liaozhou and other counties, and the soldiers reached Pingyang Prefecture and Taiyuan Mansion and other important places shocked the court. Fortunately, it was fortunate that a large army was mobilized in time to enter the Jin Dynasty to suppress it. How long did it take to drive these thieves away from Shanxi last year? Then came another army of thieves. How could they not make these officials of Pingyang Mansion feel frightened!

So as soon as they heard that there was a chaotic army entering Jin, they immediately got busy. As a result, after working for several days, they could not find out where the thief army that entered Jin had gone. However, it can't be said that the governments of the states and counties did not work hard to do it. At least they still collected some useful ones more or less. Xi.

According to the news from Hejin County, the total number of thieves entering Jin is not much, about a few thousand. However, after the thief army entered Jin, it did not attack and plunder the area around Hejin. Instead, it quickly inserted into the territory of Jishan County. However, the news from Jishan County said that it had not been attacked by this thief army. Soon The thief army crossed Jishan County and entered the boundary of Jiangzhou. According to the information collected from Jiangzhou and other places, after the thief army entered Jin, it first rushed all the way. After entering the territory of Jiangzhou, it began to turn south. Then people in Jiangzhou began to rumor that the thief army dispersed in the south of Jiangzhou. After two days of activities in Jishan County, several caravans were robbed, and then separated from each other, and then disappeared.

"It seems that it made me wait for a false alarm! This thieves must have been unable to stay in Shaanxi, so they ventured across the river and ran to our Shanxi side, but because of the discord, they dispersed! In this way, there will be no big deal! It's really frightening me for so many days!" After reading the letter sent by Jiangzhou Zhizhou, the Pingyang magistrate finally breathed a long sigh of relief, put the letter on the big case, stretched out his waist, and showed a long-lost smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, even so, it's not a good thing that these thousands of people have come to our area! Should we dispatch some officers and soldiers, or go to the area of Jiangzhou to search for them? A man dressed as a military officer got up and asked the magistrate for instructions.

Liu Qingde turned his eyes and sneered, "It's just a group of rebels. Like the year before last, so many thieves broke into our Shanxi. How can there be no need to mobilize the army to advance and suppress it? It's not that I don't know how your soldiers will behave, saying that they will suppress bandits, but in fact they will plunder! He is very good at killing good people, and his ability to make a fuss is better than anyone else! For this move, I have to pay money first. With a little movement, it is often tens of thousands of taels of silver to go in. Where can I get this money?

That's all! It's just a disease of scabuse! Let Jiangzhou fight for it on its own, so as not to make it sit big! There is no need to mention this matter again! Let's talk about the affairs of Xuanda University!

This time, the Eastern Tarts entered Kou Xuan University, and the soldiers attacked and plundered Xuan and large areas in four ways. Many castles along the border were lost, and the Taran army attacked Lingqiu. Jiang Bing, from Lingqiu Zhi County, recruited soldiers and guarded Shiqi. He took President Chen Yanwu, Ma Ruqi, Zhang Biao of the history, taught Lu Dengfu, and died in the battle. After the city was broken, Jiang Bingcai, a magistrate, was killed by his family. Everyone knows all about this!

I didn't expect it! Even Cao Wenzhao was such a fierce general that he was not an opponent of the Tatar. He went to war in Huairen and was defeated. What a pity! I heard that this time the court pleaded guilty and used him as an army guard! What a thought! ......”

As soon as his words turned, the attention of the officials sitting in the hall turned to the affairs of Xuanda. The military officer was scolded by Liu Qingde, and his face was also lightless. He sat back in the chair, so no one mentioned the whereof of Xing Tianjun's chaotic army.

Xiao Tianjian led a team of people and horses alone, but at this time he rested in a jungle near Guandao, 30 miles north of Wenxi County. After the division of troops, Yan Chongxi, Luo Li, Zhao Erlu and Feng Gouzi each led a soldier and a horse. In the south of Jiangzhou, he turned to the northeast and walked in the direction of Yangcheng, while Xiao Tianjian led a More than 700 soldiers and horses continued to go south into the territory of Wenxi County, so as to confuse the judgment of the government and attract the attention of the government for other soldiers and horses to sneak into Yangcheng.

Since they divided their troops in Jiangzhou, the government has really begun to send a lot of detailed works to investigate the traces of the Xing Tianjun who suddenly appeared in Shanxi. On the originally calm roads, some officers and soldiers who rode horses from time to time did not collect at night, making Xiao Tianjian's action smaller. A lot of heart.

Along the way, they also began to encounter some small groups of officers and soldiers, and there were several small-scale confrontations. Xiao Tian's fitness was left with Li Shuangzhu's sentry soldiers and 200 new soldiers under Liu Bao's command, as well as a small number of women, children's soldiers, craftsmen and others. Although the number of troops were not many, they were much more capable, and the goal was also reduced. A lot.

And after entering Shanxi, Xing Tianjun put away the flag they had played along the way and put away the Xing Tianjun flag. In the march, they also disrupted the formation and no longer marched in a neat queue. In this way, they were originally dressed in different clothes, and suddenly they were like ordinary poles, and could no longer attract the government. Pay attention.

Several accidental encounters with officers and soldiers and villagers, and the conflict is not fierce. Once encountered, it is often a short confrontation. With the combat effectiveness of Xing Tianjun, it can quickly defeat the small group of officers and soldiers or villagers, and quickly continue to go on the road and get rid of the official eyeliner.

A few days later, Xiao Tianjian led his troops into the territory of Wenxi County. At the speed of other teams, he should have crossed the Yuncheng Basin and entered the mountainous areas in the southeast. In this way, the team he was responsible for the control along the way should also It's time to complete the task. It's time to turn around and go east and move in the direction of Chaoyang City.

After a half-day march, they found the wood next to the official road from Jiangzhou to Wenxi County at noon. Xiao Tianjian then ordered the team to avoid the forest. After resting, they crossed the official road and began to turn east.

After nibbling some dry food casually, Xiao Tianjian sat in the crowd of soldiers and sat around and laughed with the soldiers. As long as it was not in practice and battle, Xiao Tianjian rarely treated his soldiers with the air of being the head, so the soldiers and generals also like to come to Xiao Tian's fitness and listen to Xiao Tiantian. The people in the South and the South China Sea talked about some anecdotes.

Compared with anyone in this era, Xiao Tianjian can be said to be more than a thousand times richer in miscellaneous news, so saying something casually can often make the soldiers and generals listen with interest, which also deepens the relationship between him and the generals.

When Xiao Tianjian was spitting and talking to everyone about the shape of the earth, the soldiers and generals also heard that they were in the clouds. Li Lingfeng suddenly rushed into the forest from the edge of the forest, found Xiao Tianjian, and whispered to him, "General! On the official road, a large caravan came from Jiangzhou to Wenxi County. It looks very fat! Shall we do it again?"

Xiao Tianjian thought for a moment, and his mouth grinned with his big white teeth and smiled: "Why don't you do it? We are poles now. Of course, we can't let go of this kind of fat sheep! Hey hey! Brothers! I'll tell you about those things later! All right, get up and work with me! Li Shuanzhu!"

"The end will be!" When Li Shuanzhu heard Xiao Tianjian calling him, he immediately jumped up and shouted.

"Whip it! Don't disturb the people outside the forest! Relax, relax! Now we are poles! There is no need to be rigid about everything! You take dozens of brothers and go around to block their retreat. I will lead some brothers to intercept their way in front and give them a round! But it's all remembered for me! We don't want money but life. As long as they kneel down and beg for mercy, don't kill people! Did you hear it clearly?" Xiao Tianjian slapped the dirt on his buttocks and told the soldiers around him.

"Yes! ..." There was a whispered answer around.

In a short time, the soldiers in the forest were ready and began to touch Lin Yuan in two ways. After a while, Xiao Tianjian led the crowd to touch the edge of the forest. With a wave, the soldiers quickly lowered their bodies and disappeared in Lin Yuan's place.

Xiao Tianjian gently opened the grass in front of him and looked north in the direction of the official road. After a short time, a convoy of more than 20 large cars appeared from the north official road, escorted by dozens of armed men to their position.

Xiao Tianjian is also slightly excited. Since they became an army, they have rarely done such a cutting business. He has been working hard to build Xing Tianjun into a regular army, so he doesn't do more for the cutting, kidnapping and other businesses that ordinary poles often do.

After entering Jin this time, they divided their troops in Jiangzhou. In order to confuse the government, they turned all kinds of soldiers and horses into ordinary poles. They might as well do some cutting and kidnapping business. One is to confuse the government and make them think that they are just ordinary bandits, and the other is that they are not Come and reserve more money and food, so that there will be a shortage of money after arriving at their destination.

In this way, he and his men had a relived the pleasure of being a pole, and now he is going to do this kind of thing again. Naturally, he is also a little excited.
