Chapter 129 Expansion Action

And Xiao Tianjian led his men to work until the middle of the night, and finally took a clear account of the losses and seizures of the battle. Then they dragged their tired bodies one by one and returned to Xiao Tianjian's big account with a smile.

A guard immediately brought the food to them. Just now, they were only busy, and everyone else had finished eating, but their generals did not get the rice bowl. At this time, as soon as they smelled the fragrance of the rice, their index fingers moved one by one, regardless of their manners. They picked up their chopsticks and chewed it up.

Because the fire soldiers knew that Xiao Tianjian and his generals had not eaten, they made something special for them tonight. Using the captured dead horses, they stewed a large pot of horse meat for them, and also served them a pot of flour cakes and a pot of porridge. Xiao Tianjian didn't care so much and ate it with his generals. No After a while, he swept the things on the table clean.

Luo Li patted his stomach and smiled, "It's just a sip of wine!" If you can drink another pot of wine, it will be great!"

After Xiao Tianjian wiped his hands, he asked people to clean up the table. After removing the table, he smiled at the generals and said, "Now it's not the time for us to drink and eat meat in a big bowl. When one day we lift the emperor from his throne, let the people in the world eat enough, we will eat meat. When you drink in a big bowl!"

The generals were a little excited when they heard it. Although Xiao Tianjian took them to rebel, so far, it is the first time they have heard Xiao Tianjian say that they want to bring down the current emperor, so this also means that Xiao Tianjian has the intention to win the world. When they followed Xiao Tianjian to rebelled, many people at the beginning I just want to follow him to have two full meals every day, but now they find that everyone's mood is a little high, and it is not as easy to feel satisfied as before, and Xiao Tianjian's words are also on their hearts. They always have a goal for rebellion!

And just eating enough is definitely not the goal they want. With Xiao Tianjian, they want to have a bigger goal. Xiao Tianjian's words today have been made plain, that is, they want to do a big one. Not to mention whether Xiao Tianjian's words are bragging or not, at least this is the direction they will work hard in the future. No one has thought about it. Ah! If Xiao Tianjian could sit on the throne one day, then these people would be the founding fathers of the country, so everyone's eyes lit up.

Xiao Tianjian looked up at the generals and knew that what he said today was a little big, but it didn't matter. It's better to set a goal for his subordinates than to live a muddle-headed life. If they don't even have this rich ambition, don't say anything about subjective initiative, so he doesn't mind. He said his ambition.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work today! The inventory of all places just now has come out. Before the big guy is sleepy, I'll say it!

Today, our losses are not small. A total of 74 brothers were killed in each department, and 171 people were injured. Basically, they are all soldiers. It can be said that the losses of our soldiers have reached almost 70%. It is mainly due to the casualties caused to us by the officers and soldiers' chariots, and there are few brothers or casualties in the pursuit battle. That's it!

This also shows that we still have some shortcomings when dealing with officers and soldiers, and it seems that we need to improve in the future! This chariot is really not easy to deal with!

However, compared with the loss, our harvest in this battle is also quite good. More than 1,200 people have been captured, and the number of enemy soldiers is probably more than 1,000. Needless to say, more than 200 war horses have been captured, including dozens of injured horses, but it is also quite good. In addition, there is a batch of food and mule horses. There are ten cars and more than 20 artillery of all kinds. It is not an exaggeration to describe this battle as a great victory. I guess the government should know how powerful we are this time!" Xiao Tianjian picked up a summarized list of battles and said to the generals.

After hearing this, the generals also laughed happily, because this battle was really wonderful. It can be said that Xing Tianjun directly defeated this team of officers and soldiers that were more than doubled their strength without any cleverness. This is almost extremely rare among all kinds of rebels, and other rebels are not without They have won the battle, but many times they are defeated by the officers and soldiers who win more with less, but they win more with less, which is enough to make them feel proud of each of them.

Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop the laughter of the generals and continued to say to them, "Don't be happy too early. Although we defeated this officer and army this time, it will definitely attract great attention from the government in the future. Although their main attention is now focused on the rebels in the Huguang area of Henan Province. In a short period of time, we may not have the energy to send a large army to deal with us, but we should not take it lightly. During this period, we should build a bigger territory as soon as possible, and at the same time, we need to train another batch of recruits to cope with the future revenge of the officers and army!

Today's World War is just the beginning for us. Next, from the west of the land to the north of Yangcheng County, we will take it as soon as possible and expand our territory. My goal is to occupy the whole territory of Yangcheng and the area of Yuanqu County before the summer harvest, and try to get more before the officers and soldiers come to suppress us again. Resources! You have a long way to go! Don't be complacent now!"

As soon as the generals heard this, they immediately got up and got up to take orders. These guys are not afraid of war now, but they are afraid that there is no war. Although some of them have not been in this industry for a long time, they have developed a belligerent habit with Xiao Tianjian.

Niu Taiqi fled back to Zezhou City without stopping with more than a hundred defeated soldiers, which was reassuring, but after returning to Zezhou City, he also knew that he was over this time. He quickly sent people out of the city to inquire about the news of Xing Tianjun along the city, and tried to collect his remnants.

What frightened him even more was that he only cared about his panic to escape, but forgot the Wang Jianjun who accompanied the army. When he ran outside Zezhou City, he remembered that Wang Jianjun did not follow him back, which scared him into a cold sweat.

As a military inspector, eunuch Wang represents the emperor, and he was defeated in the first battle and fled. Even the eunuch Wang was lost. This time, he was completely speechless. I'm afraid that no one would help him talk to him anymore. So the completely desperate Niu Tai lamented outside the city of Zezhou. The knife wanted to kill himself. At least he didn't have to be arrested and suffer from that knife, but his knife was finally taken by his family. If he couldn't die once, he didn't have the courage to kill himself again, so he had to send someone to Taiyuan Prefecture to report the news of the defeat to Wu Yong, the governor of Shanxi, and he stayed in Zezhou Prefecture for the time being. Deal with the endgame.

The news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers spread all over the area of Zezhou in almost only one day. After listening to the news, the relatives of the villagers cried one by one and asked the government to ask for people, and the officials of Zezhou government would not give it to them now! I can only say kind words. Each family has issued some pension money and temporarily pressed this matter.

And the news of the defeat of the officers and army in this war also shocked Zezhou and the surrounding states and counties. Suddenly, the governments in various places became nervous, because they all knew very well that the troops in Shanxi were empty, and suddenly such a powerful thief army appeared in Yangcheng, which was not good news for them.

It was not until this time that they realized that they underestimated the thieves in Yangcheng, but no matter how anxious they were, they had no more troops and could only stare.

Wu Yu, who was in Taiyuan Mansion, didn't receive the news of Niu Tai's defeat until three days later. Even if he was so shocked that he dropped the tea bowl in his hand, Wu Yu, as the governor of Shanxi, it was his idea to send troops into the Yangcheng thief army this time. Originally, he thought that he had sent Niu Tai to lead 2,000 elite soldiers, plus Zezhou and Yangcheng. With the cooperation of the local villagers, they should easily take down this group of thieves, but they didn't think that Niu Tai, a bastard who couldn't even lead the soldiers to enter the Yangcheng territory, so he was beaten by this group of thieves. The 4,000 soldiers and horses that were finally organized were actually lost by this guy. He was clean, and even the eunuchs who accompanied the army were missing, which made Wu Hong angry. He immediately ordered people to go to Zezhou to arrest Niu Tai and return to Taiyuan Prefecture to be charged. In addition, he quickly reported the matter to Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, and asked Hong Chengchou to send troops to Shanxi to take down this group of thieves. At the worst, he also wanted to invite Hong. Chengchou sent the famous general Cao Wenzhao back to Shanxi. As long as Cao Wenzhao came back, it would not be a problem to solve this group of thieves.

In short, this incident caused a shock not only in the area of Zezhou, but also almost all of Shanxi knew the news, and they were shocked.

Although Wu Wei still wants to send heavy troops to suppress this group of thieves, He Nai has just come out of the big event in Fengyang. At present, a large number of officers and troops in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili and other places have been transferred to Henan to suppress bandits. There are not many available troops left by Shanxi, and he still wants He left enough troops to prepare for the thircon to enter the army again, so the troops he can use at present are really limited. Even if 3,000 or 5,000 officers and soldiers can move, he is not sure that he can destroy this group of thieves, so he can only wait for Hong Chengchou to decide how to deal with this matter.

And why is it difficult for Xiao Tianjian to be an official in the government? After the victory of the First World War in Beiliu, he immediately began to launch a new operation in the local area. With the power of great victory, he quickly began to divide his troops and sweep along the banks of the Qinhe River. The target was directly aimed at the villages established by the local rich and began his expansion.
