Chapter 173 The mountain rain is coming

In this battle, the Xing Tianjun can be said to have made a lot of money. In the two battles of Hexi Village and Liujiabao, there were many various military accounts and equipment captured by the officers and soldiers. More than 1,500 people were captured alone, and hundreds of all kinds of artillery and firearms were captured. For the Xing Tianjun, It is said to be a big victory, but at the same time, Zhao Erli's misconduct in the first battle of Liu Jiabao also caused great losses. After this battle, Zhao Erli's sentry was almost completely disabled and basically lost his combat effectiveness.

After the end of this war, Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to attack east, swept Dadonggou, Chuandi, Lizhai and other places west of Zezhou in one fell swoop, and firmly stuck the two key roads from Zezhou to Yangcheng. He no longer worried that Zezhou would enter the boundary of Yangcheng from here, and also took advantage of the situation to obtain more territory. He occupied more than 20 Zhuangbao and firmly controlled the eastern part of Yangcheng in the hands of the Xingtian Army.

Luo Li, who stayed in Hexi Village, did not stay honest. After a few days of rest in Hexi Village, he became restless again. After learning that Xiao Tianjian had defeated the officers and soldiers on Zezhou Road, he immediately sent someone to ask Xiao Tianjian to lead his troops to attack Qinshui County, and immediately obtained Xiao Tianjian's consent.

After getting Xiao Tianjian's approval, Luo Li immediately led his sentry general under his command, and called a group of township soldiers to cooperate with his actions in the north of the county. He led the troops to send troops from Hexi Village with great victory. When Qinshui County was in a panic because of the defeat, he attacked Qinshui County in one fell swoop, and in a short time. A large area east of Qinshui County was controlled by Xing Tianjun.

In this way, the use of Xing Tianjun by Shanxi Political Secretary this time can be said to have ended in a complete failure. Not only was Xing Tianjun expelled from Yuanqu County, but also Qinshui County and Zezhou also lost a large area, which made the control area of Xing Tianjun almost expanded in more than a month. It has formed a control area with a radius of about 100 miles with Yangcheng County as the core.

For the attack and plunder of the Xingtian Army, because the local people have already heard of the behavior of the Xing Tianjun, the vast majority of the people not only did not resist the Xingtian Army under the call of local officials and large households, but also rebelled against the officers under the guidance of the Xingtian Army. The army not only informed Xing Tianjun, but also helped Xing Tianjun attack the landlord's gentry's Zhuangbao and help Xing Tianjun transfer supplies, which made Xing Tianjun's progress very fast.

Moreover, many small poles in Qinshui County, in the face of the attack of Xing Tianjun, either looked at the wind, or simply cleaned up and fled to the ground. In short, few people dared to provoke Xing Tianjun, so that the situation in the new control area of Xing Tianjun was quickly stabilized.

However, such an offensive and plunder operation is also limited after all. After such an operation, although Xing Tianjun acquired a large amount of land, at the beginning of July, Xiao Tianjian still ordered to stop the continued attack and began to enter the business of these newly acquired sites.

After such a continuous month of high-intensity combat, the soldiers and generals have long been exhausted, and casualties are inevitable, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. Although it is not a problem for each sentinel to supplement soldiers on the spot, it is within the mechanism of Xing Tianjun, Xiao Tianjian It is not allowed to recruit soldiers and buy horses without authorization.

So after laying down these sites, Xiao Tianjian ordered that except for Yan Chongxi, who was stationed in Yuanqu County, the other four sentry horses were retreated to Lianhua Village for rest, leaving only a small number of township troops to garrison.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian ordered Fu Deming to send his men to station in the newly occupied area to carry out land reform on the newly acquired area. After Fu Deming was ordered, he immediately summoned a group of his former subordinates in Yangcheng, assigned them out, and stationed in these newly acquired territories to carry out land reform.

After the experience of land reform, these people became much more familiar with such things. After being ordered, they soon organized their own manpower to carry out land reform work in the local area. The original land property belonging to the landlords and gentry was re-divided to the local people to cultivate, and even let these people What he was grateful to Xing Tianjun was that he threw himself into the ground and congratulated him.

When Xiao Tianjian dragged his tired body back to Lianhuazhai, he couldn't wait to lie down and sleep directly for three days and three nights. In the past few months, he can be said to be more tired than anyone in the army. He almost non-stop turned around Yangcheng and led the army to fight dozens of battles, although now More often, he doesn't need to fight in person, but he really does more mental work. Every day, he is thinking about what to do next and what to do. Now it's easy to return to "home". I really want to just care about anything and have a good rest for a few days.

But this idea can only be thought about. If he really wants to rest, he really can't rest. Anyway, this time he has resolved the crisis. At the same time, he has gained a lot of benefits in this crisis, but he has also found a lot of problems.

Some time ago, he sent several sentries and horses to guard everywhere. Although it effectively played a protective role in the boundary of Yangcheng, this time it blocked the officers and soldiers from attacking Yangcheng at the same time, but it also brought a big problem, that is, the controllable mobile combat force in his hand was greatly weakened, just like a man's fist. With his head open like a slap, he felt that it was a little difficult to deal with such a war.

He is very clear why he can win many battles and again during this period of time. In addition to his harsh training on the soldiers and generals for a long time, the opponents they encounter are still too weak. Almost every battle is not a team composed of local villagers or the local garrison of the government. These armies are too weak, so It seems that their Xingtian army is very strong, and he also knows that at this time, the Ming Dynasty has not completely exhausted its energy, and the Ming Dynasty still has a considerable number of elite soldiers and horses, but at present, he is not making enough trouble and has not attracted the court to pay special attention to him.

At present, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are the thorns in the eyes of the court. Almost all the attention of the court is focused on them and the slaves in the north. If he continues to make trouble like this one day, sooner or later, it will attract the attention of the court. Once the court mobilized a large number of elite soldiers to deal with him. With his current strength, it is difficult to stop so many soldiers in the imperial court.

And this time, his defeat of the two officers and soldiers can be said to have caused a lot of trouble. If it is not expected, the court should also pay attention to his team. As long as he pulls out his hand, he will mobilized the army to come here to suppress him, so he must do a good job before that. Fully prepared for the next storm, this is really about to come!

So unlike the happy subordinates, Xiao Tianjian was not only not complacent because of this consecutive victory, but also became a little worried.

After returning to Lianhuazhai, Xiao Tianjian ordered his soldiers to rest for three days. He allowed him to take out a batch of wine and meat to reward the generals and soldiers of the three armies. After celebrating the success of the generals and soldiers, he plunged back into his room and stood in front of the map and touched the beard on his chin and began to sink. Thinking about it.

"Bad guy! In addition to doing things, you are here by yourself when you come back. Won't you come to see me? The soldiers outside are drinking and celebrating this great victory, but why are you hiding here alone in a daze? Just as Xiao Tianjian touched his chin and stood in front of the map meditating, a woman's voice sounded behind him.

Xiao Tianjian immediately turned around, and a beautiful figure appeared in his eyes. Who else could talk to him like this? It was Fan Yutong who came to his room in person.
