Chapter 98 Vertical

Xiao Tianjian continued to give this information to Niu Jinxing to watch according to his unsuspecting practice. After all, Niu Jinxing is a local person from Henan. He is much more familiar with the situation here than Xiao Tianjian. After reading the information sent, he gently stroked his beard on his lower jaw and did not say anything for a long time.

After Xiao Tianjian picked up the summarized information and read it again, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this Xiong supervisor really looks up to me, Xiao!" As soon as he took office, he made such a fire, as if he was pointing the finger at our Xing Tianjun! It seems that you won't give up if you don't kill me completely!"

Niu Jinxing nodded and said, "This Xiong Wencan still has a vision. After taking office, he can see the layout of the marshal in Henan at a glance. He knows that if he wants to flatten all the rebels in Henan, he must first level the general! If it was a humble position in his position, I'm afraid it would have been arranged in this way!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded. Now his Xing Tianjun's name is not the same as before. His Xiao Tianjian's name is a well-known name in Shanxi, Henan Province. Who doesn't know the strength of his Xing Tianjun? Even compared with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, Xiao Tianjian's name can now be said to be more It is already impossible to hide his strength. It can be said that he has stood at the front desk of all kinds of rebels, and it is impossible not to attract people's eyes.

In this case, Xiao Tianjian has lost the previous idea of covering his development with the help of other volunteers. Now that he has shown the banner of Xing Tian in Henan, he is ready to meet the huge waves.

"Good! Since this Xiong Dushi looks up to me, Xiao, then come and cover the water and earth! Let's not fantasize that good things will happen to us. Now that we have achieved this step, what else can we do? The key now is how to deal with the current situation!

Judging from the various news sent back from the details, this time Xiong Wencan tried to attack us first. It can be said that almost all the officers and soldiers that can be mobilized in Henan have been mobilized. Luoyang Wang Shaoyu has 7,000, Zu Da Le Zu Kuan has 3,000, Kaifeng Chen Yongfu has 4,000 soldiers and horses, plus thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanyang, Henan alone has taken out 20,000. The above forces, coupled with the surrounding officers and soldiers, their strength exceeded at least 40,000. In addition, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi also seemed to have the intention to cooperate with Xiong Wencan's advance and suppress us this time. Cao Wenyao from Shaanxi is moving to Tongguan, and it seems that they also plan to enter Tongguan to launch an impulse our future. Even Lu Xiangsheng on the side of Shanxi finally took action this time. He dispatched Xu Dingguo and Zhang Quanchang, two general soldiers, a total of more than 10,000 troops, and went all the way to Xiezhou in two directions, all the way to Lu'an Mansion, trying to attack our hometown in Shanxi!

Looking this way, the court really gives me face to someone Xiao. If I put it together like this, I'm afraid there will be nearly 100,000 troops to deal with someone Xiao! Ha ha!"

Xiao Tianjian said it was easy, but it was not easy in his heart, because this situation was very different from Chongzhen's defense of the four-way officers and soldiers in Yangcheng at the beginning of the ninth year. Although he occupied five counties in Henan, the actual control time was only a few months, and the shortest three counties were also However, in less than two months, although a group of people have tried their best to rectify and the situation is still stable, he knows that his foundation in the western part of Henan has not been stable. Although there are nearly 10,000 combatable soldiers under his command now, these eight battalions plus the barracks and engineering battalions, of which nearly half of the soldiers are The combat effectiveness of the new recruits is not as good as that of the old pawns in Shanxi, and the number of cavalry is also quite limited, with a total of only more than 500 people, and the number of enemy troops is several times that of him. In this battle, it must be a meal. Even he feels that he is not very sure whether he can win or not.

What's more, several officers and soldiers are attacking from several directions. Within hundreds of miles, he will definitely take care of the other. If he is not careful, the fruit of victory that has just arrived may be taken back by the government. How to face this upcoming war, Xiao Tianjian really wants to Listen to Niu Jinxing's opinion.

Niu Jinxing walked back and forth in the tent for a few times, and suddenly laughed and said, "The marshal doesn't have to be too nervous. This time, although Xiong Wencan has sent so many soldiers and horses, the combat strength of these officers and soldiers is uneven, and they are not soldiers from the same place. As generals, they also have their own thoughts. With the general's current strength, I'm afraid It's not difficult to deal with!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "I would like to hear more!"

Niu Jinxing then turned around and walked to Xiao Tianjian. He picked up the information sent by Jiang Qin and said to Xiao Tianjian, "General, please look. First of all, let's talk about Wang Shaoyu's Luoyang soldiers!" Wang Shaoyu is a defeated general under the general. Most of his soldiers under his command are grass and rice buckets. Even Wang Shaoyu himself is a corpse vegetarian. Ma Rutian, the general under his command, is not necessarily strong enough. Although more than 7,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered this time, Chen Bing is in Yiyang County, but it is not necessarily that they can play a big role. The role, and the officers and soldiers from Nanyang are even more unbearable. At present, the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong is already active in the southern part of Yu and the junction of Huguang. After Nanyang draws out so many troops, there will be a shortage of troops. Even if Nanyang soldiers want to come to participate in our advance and suppressing, they have to take into account the future. Be careful that Nanyang is taken by the Eight Kings!

So at present, we only need to keep an eye on the 3,000 Guanning army under the command of Zu Dale and Zu Kuan, as well as the 4,000 Kaifeng soldiers of Chen Yongfu from Kaifeng. As long as we defeat these two officers, the rest of the officers and soldiers will naturally have no problem!

On the contrary, the marshal of Lu's County had to prevent it. This time, Hong Chengchou sent Cao Wenyao into the customs. It seemed that he also wanted to cooperate with Xiong Wencan and cut the knife from behind us. Cao Wenyao was the younger brother of Cao Wezhao, a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty. He was also a general of the three armies. The 4,000 officers and soldiers under his command were also Qin soldiers. They were very good at fighting. When he was in Shaanxi. After he followed his brother Cao Wenzhao to fight against all kinds of rebels, he had many military achievements. In the view of humble position, I'm afraid that the most difficult thing to deal with is Cao Wenyao! With the arrangement of the general now, there is only one township barracks and a new battalion stationed in Lushi County. If Cao Wenyao leads his troops to attack Lu's County, it will be difficult to stop them with these soldiers and horses!

As for Shanxi, please forgive me for not knowing much about the situation there, so it's hard to talk nonsense! How to deal with it depends on the commander-in-chief's own decision!"

Xiao Tianjian thought about Niu Jinxing's words in his mind and nodded, "Mr. Niu's words are reasonable! Wang Shaoyu was not worried. With a battalion of soldiers stationed in Yongning and the new battalion newly established by Yongning before the year, it was enough to deal with the 7,000 officers and soldiers under his command!

At present, the key is the 3,000 Guanning army of the ancestral family and the 4,000 Kaifeng soldiers of Chen Yongfu. Now they have arrived in the suburbs of Ruzhou, only dozens of miles away from here. Let's defeat them first!

However, although there are not many troops in Nanyang, it is a great threat to us, and we have to guard against it!

In addition, the gentleman's reminder is very right. I have heard of Cao Wenyao, and he is indeed a fierce general. Although he is not as good as his brother Cao Wenzhao and his nephew Cao Changjiao, he can't despise this person! The troops released by Lushi County are indeed a little too small! I will transfer troops immediately to strengthen the defense of Lushi County!"

Niu Jinxing immediately said after hearing this, "General Nanyang's soldiers don't have to worry. If you want to force him to retreat, a letter of inferiority is enough to solve the problem!"

Xiao Tianjian frowned and immediately asked, "What are you going to do?"

Niu Jinxing laughed and said, "I sent someone to Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, to give it to his interests. It is expected that Zhang Xianzhong would be happy to help us with this! As long as Zhang Xianzhong takes advantage of the situation to send Nanyang, the Nanyang soldiers will immediately return to Nanyang. In this way, it is also good for Zhang Xianzhong!"

Xiao Tianjian also laughed after listening to it, but then asked Niu Jinxing, "Will this Xianzhong listen to my dispatch?" What's the benefit of this for him?"

Niu Jinxing sat next to Xiao Tianjian's table, knocked on the paper on the table with his fingers, and explained to Xiao Tianjian, "General, look here. Although Xiong Wencan focused his main goal on us this time, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about Zhang Xianzhong and Chuang Tian!

This time, in addition to mobilizing the soldiers and horses of Zuo Liangyu's department to deal with Chuangtian and Zhang Xianzhong, he also transferred Shi Kefa to Xiangyang to deal with Zhang Xianzhong. At the same time, he also transferred more than 10,000 officers and soldiers from Nanjing to Huguang, specializing in dealing with Scorpion Block Tuo Yangkun. They are not as handsome. For them, such pressure, It's already very big!

If the general asks Zhang Xianzhong to send troops to Nanyang this time, Zhang Xianzhong should not be unreasonable. You should know that it is also very difficult for him to send troops to Nanyang. As long as he sends troops to Nanyang, he can avoid the officers and troops of Shi Kefa and Zuo Liangyu and join us. At that time, as long as we defeat the Guanning army of the ancestral family, Zhang Xianzhong will take the opportunity. You can take Wuyang and Lushan directly, and if you are with us, there will be no big danger!

Therefore, it can be concluded that after Zhang Xianzhong receives this letter, he will follow Niu's arrangement and serve Nanyang, so the officers and soldiers in Nanyang are not worried at all!"

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Tianjian quickly figured out the key. This Niu Jinxing is really not a cover. The analysis of the situation at present is indeed much stronger than that of him. Just from this point, he analyzed so many things and thought of a solution, so he was secretly It seems really good to think that Niu Jinxing can leave a name in history because he is indeed a person with some ability.

(At least I spelled 7,000 words today. It's okay! Ha ha!)
