Chapter 17 Common Enemy
Fu Deming was confused by Xiao Tianjian, so he quickly turned around and followed Xiao Tianjian and asked him, "Please forgive me for being blunt. Now we are fine in Shanxi. Why does the general remember going to Henan?" You should know that Lu Xiangsheng and Lu madman are now in Henan. In the past year, the Tianxiong army under his command has almost beaten the rebels in Henan. Now Zhang Xianzhong has run to the junction of Huguang and Sichuan. Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and Lao Hui have all returned to Shaanxi. I'm afraid that it is not easy for Henan to gain a foothold now. Ah!
And now Shanxi is the year of chaos, and we are now strong soldiers. Why don't we stay in Shanxi to use troops? We can take this opportunity to fight against Lu'an Mansion first, and then use troops directly against Jiangzhou. As long as we fight against Jiangzhou, we can control the whole southern Shanxi in our hands, and we can go straight to Taiyuan to the north!
At present, Jiannu is also entering the customs and harassing the area of Beijing, and the court can't spare hands to deal with us! Why did the general not take this good situation and go to Henan?
Looking at Fu Deming's eager expression, Xiao Tianjian gradually cooled down and shook his head to deal with Deming and said, "Does Mr. Fu want me to cooperate with Jiannu and develop northward?"
Fu Deming's face showed a slight look of embarrassment and quickly explained, "Of course, the inferior position does not mean that the general should cooperate with Jiannu to develop towards the north, but the current situation is like this. It is the time when Shanxi is empty and the court is at a loss, so the inferior position will say so. From the perspective of the humble position, it is not the best strategy to go down to Henan now. It's better to expand our territory in Shanxi.
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and stood up and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Fu is too simple to think. Gao Yingxiang has been defeated by the government and has been captured by the officers and soldiers. In the near future, he will be sent to the capital and handed over to the emperor for disposal!"
And all kinds of volunteers have now been beaten and run around by the government. At present, if we use troops in Shanxi, Hong Chengchou will never sit idly by!
There is another piece of news. I'm afraid you don't know that Lu Xiangsheng is about to be transferred to Shanxi. The governor Xuanda and Shanxi military affairs. In essence, the court wants Lu Xiangsheng to lead his troops to deal with the Jiannu Tart!
Although we are enemies of the imperial court, after all, we are all Han people. At present, the emperor Taiji, who built slaves, has already called himself emperor and established a country outside the customs and changed his name to the Qing Dynasty! Sooner or later, Jiannu will become the enemy of all our Han people!
Although my husband is right, it is a good time for us to take Lu'anfu and Jiangzhou at present, but in this way, it is equivalent to a big help to Jiannu. Originally, the imperial court had no choice but to take Jiannu in the north. Once we do this again, we are bound to let the imperial court divide troops to deal with us. Come on, we are equivalent to harming the whole people of Beizhili!
To put it worse, we and the government are fighting with our own families. After all, it is still a civil war between our Han people, but for Jiannu, they are our common enemies. I will not cooperate with Jiannu now!
Although Lu Xiangsheng is a court official, he is a good official. Since he is coming to Shanxi, I will give him a face and not be his enemy in Shanxi!
Mr. Fu, don't be surprised. I'm not afraid of Lu Xiangsheng, but Henan is a rare opportunity for us now! After Lu Xiangsheng's encirclement and suppressing all kinds of rebels in Henan for more than a year, all kinds of rebels in Henan have basically fled from Henan, and now there is basically a power vacuum there. Whether it is the officers and all kinds of volunteers, they are either gathered in Shaanxi or gathered in Huguang, Sichuan and the two Huaihe areas, and At present, all forces in Henan are very weak, and it is a good time for us to grab the land now!
If we want to continue to grow next, then Henan is the place we must occupy. All parts of the north have basically been rotten. In addition, there have been droughts in the north for years. It is also some luck that we can survive this spring drought this time. Points.
If our Xingtian Army wants to expand in the future, we must take Henan as a springboard to go to Huguang. Only by occupying Huguang can we obtain sufficient grain and material supplies. We can't just limit our eyes to the small Shanxi area, but also look longer!
So with such a good opportunity, when will we wait if we don't go to Henan? Does Mr. Fu understand my thoughts now?
Xiao Tianjian and Pan brought out his plan to consider in the past few days.
After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, Fu Deming couldn't help but be shocked. After such a year or two, he almost forgot the things he talked about with Xiao Tianjian at the beginning. Now, after laying down such a piece of land, he began to be a little content with the status quo, so that he forgot Look at it more long-term.
What he didn't expect is that Xiao Tianjian is obviously much more long-term than him. Now he has begun to plan for the future, and vaguely, he has pointed the spearhead directly at the Jiannu and the turret.
So he bowed to Xiao Tianjian with a look of shame and said, "It turns out that the general has thought so far. He is ashamed of his humble position! What the general said is that although we are against the imperial court, Jiannu is still a big problem for us Han people. Since Jiannu is entering the bandit now, we can't say anything to help the government!
In this way, Bei Zhi fully agrees with the general's arrangement, but if the general wants to go south to Henan, will he go with our current troops alone? After all, we don't have a foundation in Henan. The general's trip can be said to be alone. With such a force, I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with the officers and soldiers in Henan. I'm afraid it's a little risky to enter Henan so quickly!"
Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "Rich and dangerous! Now that we have chosen this road, it is equivalent to living with our heads on our belts! But you don't have to worry. Now after half a year of training, although we don't have a lot of troops, we are all elite soldiers. It's not those officers and soldiers in Henan that I look down on. Although they are okay to deal with ordinary rebels, I believe that they can't eat it!
Henan's territory is very large, and there is enough space for us to go around, especially in the western part of Henan, which is similar to our current area. The depth of the mountains and valleys is very suitable for us to travel. As long as you give me another two years, I believe that with the strength of our Xing Tianjun, we should be able to make another piece in western Henan that belongs to me. Our territory!
As for the strength, you don't have to worry. I will bring more than enough manpower this time! The key is that after I left here, our territory is our foundation. At present, all our military tents, armor, grain and materials have to be replenished here. No matter what, there can be any problem here, otherwise we will become rootless duckweed and be beaten back to the point of two years ago. It's over!"
Now that Fu Deming has accepted Xiao Tianjian's huge plan, he also began to consider the details for Xiao Tianjian.
After sitting down and thinking for a while, Fu Deming said to Xiao Tianjian, "If the general has made up his mind, then the general can rest assured about the matter here. After the general's departure this time, he is willing to stay here and do a good job of logistical supplies for the general!" As long as the general leaves a battalion of soldiers and horses, plus the township barracks here, the humble position thinks that even if Lu Xiangsheng leads his Tianxiong army to find us trouble, we are not afraid to fight with him, but we don't know who the general will stay here, and the inferior position will cooperate with it to ensure that there is nothing on our side!"
Xiao Tianjian stood up and walked to the door and looked at the sky outside: "There is a gentleman sitting here dealing with civil affairs. I have nothing to worry about!" And I will leave my wife here, and she will also cooperate with her husband in finances. As for who will stay in the military affairs here, let's wait for a few days! ......”
