Chapter 76 Down

The news of Zu Kuan's defeat in Yongning spread quickly. Within a few days, it spread throughout the western part of Henan, and the magistrate's office in Luoyang City was in chaos. They all asked Zu Kuan how he lost this battle.

Zu Kuan also felt shameless. After retreating to Yiyang, he simply gathered the remnants and didn't stay for a day. He immediately led the remnants back to Lushan County to rest. As for the impact this defeat would have on him, he can't take care of it for the time being. Anyway, he failed. At least he still has more than a thousand Guan Ning under his men. Jun, Henan Zhengsi still wants to rely on them, and he won't do anything to him. Anyway, he is unwilling to meet this Xing Tianjun again. In the battle of Liuquan Town, he has been scared by the tenacity and strong firepower of Xing Tianjun.

In his impression, except for Jiannu's soldiers and horses, there is no army that can be so strong. At his best, this group of thieves are like a rock, motionless, and the kind of death-like counterattack makes him lingering. If possible, he will not want to meet again in his life. This Xing Tianjun. If he is allowed to choose, he would rather go back to the north and fight against Jiannu than touch this Xing Tianjun again.

And Wang Shaoyu, not to mention, Baba took advantage of Zu Kuan to drag Xing Tianjun to sneak attack Yongning County, but he was found to be blocked on the south bank of the Luo River. Later, when he heard that Zu Kuan was defeated, he immediately pulled out the camp and ran towards Yiyang. As a result, he didn't think that a small group of thieves of Xing Tianjun took advantage of the river. The ice was not very strong, so he laid some wooden boards on the river overnight, stepped on the ice, chased the Luo River, and chased him all the way behind him. As a result, when he finally got rid of this group of thieves and fled back to Yiyang, he took out more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, but there was less than half of the rest. He escaped, but simply surrendered to the thief army. This time, he only had less than 2,000 troops left in Yiyang, and he no longer had the courage to take half a step out of Yiyang City.

On the contrary, it is the side of Xing Tianjun. After these days of fighting, they first defeated Zu Kuan's troops, and then Liu Yaoben defeated the giant bandit of Dougu, and then defeated Wang Shaoyu, and suddenly became famous in the western part of Henan.

It turned out that the smaller Zhuangbao in Yongning County, which was in a wait-and-see state, at this time, they hurriedly showed their goodwill to Xing Tianjun, and did not use Xing Tianjun to urge them, so they took the initiative to take out some grain and sent people to Yongning County. It was a clear attitude and turned to Xing Tianjun.

At this time, Henan has already become the place of the four wars. All kinds of rebels and the government have fought back and forth. The government's ability to control the place has long been extremely weak. Many families with a little power have built their own villages to protect themselves. Whoever has the upper hand can listen to it. It is not that they are unwilling to listen to the government, but that they are small rich people. They also want to survive. If they are forced to rely on the imperial court and the government can't protect them, they will be unlucky. Therefore, these people have begun to see the wind over the years. Whoever can control the ground in this area will listen to them. As long as they don't force them too much, he It's just asking for life!

And what shocked people in this area was that even the famous tile jars in the western part of Henan also led the public to announce their attachment to Xing Tianjun this time, and this time when they defected to Xing Tianjun, they also sent a big gift to Xing Tianjun, which was punished against Xing Tianjun during this period. The head of Yidou Valley was sent to Yongning County, and the 5,000 people under his command also joined the Xingtian Army.

In this way, the Xingtian Army suddenly cheered up in the west of Yuxi, and some smaller pole forces nearby began to flock to the boundary of Yongning and defected to the Xing Tianjun, which made the Xing Tianjun suddenly stronger.

However, what others couldn't think of was that Lord Xiao Tianjian, who had infinite scenery, was having a headache about this matter. The clenched pot finally chose to turn to him, which was a good thing for him. After breaking down a bucket of valley, the local pole and tile jar in western Henan was the largest, and his investment was undoubtedly announced. He has the status of Xing Tianjun in Henan, and he has also confirmed his actual control over Yongning County.

But he has a headache for the forces and poles that swarmed to him, because most of the people in these poles are composed of good and bad characters. With the habits of Xing Tianjun, many of them are not suitable for soldiers in Xing Tianjun, so these old, weak, sick and disabled, and ruffian characters are willing to It will definitely be eliminated.

And how to place the problem of bosses like tile jars and his subordinates and all kinds of poles is a very difficult thing to deal with.

In this matter, Xiao Tianjian still adheres to his original principle. All these local forces that turn to him must accept his consolidation, and in order not to form a small power group in his Xingtian Army, these leaders must completely hand over their military power and leave the original subordinates after defecting to Xing Tianjun. The soldiers under their command avoid the situation of self-respecting and disobeding orders.

Therefore, how to deal with the crate is related to the success or failure of the armed forces in these places in the future. When he heard that the cit cans were coming to invest, he discussed it with his generals in advance, so he led the crowd out of Yongning County and met the crates.

This time, Xiao Tianjian welcomed the return of the tile jars. Xiao Tianjian arranged it quite grandly. Five miles outside the west gate of Yongning County, he chose a wide and flat open space to use as the school grounds, and gathered the people to build a camp for the new attached army to stop, and transferred a batch of grain from the county. The captured weapons were stored in this camp in advance, and not far from the newly attached barracks, a teaching camp was built.

On October 28, in addition to the two companies left behind in the county, the rest of the battalions of the Xingtian Army followed Xiao Tianjian to this campus. The foot army, the cavalry, the artillery, the heavy team and the engineering company each designated their respective positions and lined up on the campus outside the battalion.

These soldiers of the Xingtian Army also specially cleaned up their armor today. Their whole body is neatly hung, and the weapons are polished and wiped clean. The helmets are bright and long guns are full of trees, but there are still blood stains after the war on their armor, and even some slightly injured soldiers are also in the queue, and there are others on their bodies. The cloth belt is also leached with blood stains.

Even on their various flags, there are still some gunpowder smoke damage, but this does not affect the military appearance of Xing Tianjun at all. On the contrary, from afar, it is full of a kind of murderous atmosphere. All the generals are shy, and their chins are high, each of which is a pair. With the posture of a proud soldier and a tough general, everyone's face is full of self-confidence and a sense of pride as a member of Xing Tianjun, which makes people dare not look up.

In addition to Xing Tianjun, even some small local gentry were invited to participate in the ceremony this time. At the end of the school yard, a special place was set up for these local gentry to watch the ceremony. After receiving the invitation, these little gentry near Yongning County quickly cleaned up and took Their young descendants hurried to the school yard in the west of Yongning County, were received by the literati of Xing Tianjun and arranged to watch the ceremony at the designated place.

When they saw a team of Xingtian soldiers making rumbling footsteps and entering in a neat queue, everyone stood up involuntarily. They were almost without exception shocked by the military appearance of the Xingtian Army. In the past, they were not too shocked to hear about it, but now they really see After the military appearance of Xing Tianjun, these local gentry really realized the strength of Xing Tianjun, and they could not have any other ideas except fear and submission.

Xiao Tianjian is also wearing a mountain armor that only the general of the Ming army can have today. At this time, it is snowy and polished. There is a peacock feather on his helmet, which is a privilege he has in the Xing Tianjun. In addition, no one can wear this kind of feather on his helmet and felt hat, hanging around his waist. A simple and unpretentious waist knife, wearing a pyro-haired short gun made by Xing Tianjun on the right side, and a somewhat faded red cloak on his back, riding on his strong yellow horse, which also looked majestic.

After glancing at these Xing Tianjun soldiers behind him, Xiao Tianjian was once again proud. With so many tigers, why don't worry about not achieving a great career! His traces have been branded in the world, so he no longer doubts that he is just a passer-by of this era.

Thousands of people gathered together, and all the soldiers will stand in the cold wind, allowing the cold wind to blow across their faces. In addition to the slight friction of armor and leaves, there is only the occasional sound of the noses of the war horses on the school yard. Thousands of soldiers will stand silently in the queue, and the flag bearers are like The javelin-like flag stood in the front of the teams, as if it were a sculpture.

At this time, Xing Tianjun has shown a difference from other armies in this era. This is an elite modern army trained by Xiao Tianjian's modern military thought. There are daily training and comments. In addition, strict military discipline and constraints make every soldier in the army always maintain a vigorous combat effectiveness. You can engage in the battle at any time, and this kind of tension at any time also makes the array of Xing Tianjun have a unique beauty, so that people can't suspect that they are an iron-blooded division.
