Chapter 133 Shocking all directions
But what can Zhao Tianci do? Xiao Tianjian wants to do this. As long as he doesn't want to die, he can only do it according to his requirements. When he saw Xiao Tianjian's men rushing down to pass the order, Zhao Tianci had to say goodbye with his fist. Xiao Tianjian pulled Zhao Tianci to send him out in person. He also told him that if there is anything missing, just talk, he will definitely find a way to take good care of Zhao. God-given family!
The next morning, the large families listed in the city were copied by Xing Tianjun overnight without exception, and the crimes against these rich families listed in the name of Zhao Tianci were posted everywhere in the streets and alleys, saying that it was not a pity that all the big families in the city were dead.
Immediately, the people in the city were in an uproar. At first, some people didn't believe that the lord of Ruzhou would break through the city, but then the list spread all over the streets and alleys. This list was indeed drawn up by Zhao Tianci, so everyone gradually believed that this was the truth.
As an official like Zhizhou of a state, he surrendered to Xing Tianjun. Before that, whether it was Xing Tianjun or other volunteers, it could be said that it had never happened before. After the news spread, Xing Tianjun was even more happy. Although it was not a big deal to say, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, it was absolutely It is a major event worth flaunting.
Zhao Tianci's surrender means that the officials of today's Daming have seen the weakness and incompetence of the court. Some people do not want to follow the court, but prefer to surrender to the Rebels, which shows that the Xing Tianjun is strong enough to fight against this court. Soldiers can't say so much truth, but However, I felt that this matter was a good thing on my face, so for a while, the people in the army were very happy. When they met each other, they boasted about how powerful Xing Tianjun was.
And Niu Jinxing felt that Xiao Tianjian's forced surrender of Zhao Tianci was really a wonderful move. It was undoubtedly a great insult to the court member at the level like Zhao Tianci. At the same time, it also played an example for the officials of the official system. The role of Xing Tianjun is more likely to be recognized by some local officials when he acts again in the future, which will also be of great help in recruiting more literati.
So under the help of Niu Jinxing, Xiao Tianjian even officially ordered Zhao Tianci to be the Zhizhou of Ruzhou. Although it is only a Zhizhou that is anonymous, it is necessary to carry Zhao Tianci out as an example. Zhao Tianci has the intention not to do it, but he can't stop Xiao Tianjian from doing so. Anyway, he takes over the local civil affairs. There was a lot of people under his command. There was no need for Zhao Tianci to come out to really do something, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize it in the new home.
For the Xingtian Army in the first battle in Ruzhou, it is undoubtedly like giving them a strong shot. Through this battle, Xiao Tianjian tested the combat ability of the generals under his command. Similarly, for the new recruits of various armies, it also gave them a new understanding of the strength of the Xingtian Army, so that they passed this In the siege, they initially gained some actual combat experience, which also gave them more confidence in themselves.
It can be said that the Battle of Ruzhou laid the foundation for Xing Tianjun's strategy in the Central Plains in the future, and also played out the prestige of Xing Tianjun in the future siege battle, and tempered Xing Tianjun's siege tactics.
Because of the beauty of Ruzhou's siege, he bought more time for Xing Tianjun. In just one day, Xing Tianjun firmly controlled Ruzhou City, and Xiao Tianjian, according to his old habit, after controlling Ruzhou City, he moved outside the city and gathered the army. The above officers of the team generals conducted a post-war summary and review of the battle in the battalion, pointed out the performance of various departments of the Xingtian Army in this battle in public, and public commended a group of soldiers who showed courage in this battle, and punished a group of people who were afraid of war.
It is Xiao Tianjian who came from the founding of the army. He is good at summarizing experience in various battles, so that the officers in the army can often learn a lot of experience from the First World War, so that the officers of the Xingtian Army mature faster than the generals in other rebels, and inject considerable life into the further development of the Xing Tianjun. Force.
The day after Ruzhou was conquered by the Xingtian Army, the news was received in Luoyang City, and suddenly there was an uproar. As soon as Ruzhou was broken, the barrier in the south of Luoyang was completely controlled by the Xingtian Army.
Nowadays, Mianchi County in the west of Luoyang City has also been captured by the Xingtian Army, and Ruzhou in the south has been lost again. In this way, the situation in Luoyang has become more dangerous and is almost surrounded by the Xingtian Army.
So Feng Yijun quickly sent someone to rush to Xiong Wencan again. At the same time, he sent people to report 800 miles to the capital, asking the capital to send a large army to rescue Luoyang quickly. He even jumped over the wall and directly sent people to find a way to bypass the pond and ask for help from Hong Chengchou sitting on the three sides of the town. In short, Ruzhou was a great threat to Luoyang, and Once Luoyang loses, it will undoubtedly be a great blow to the court.
Things have come to this point. Not to mention that Feng Yijun is anxious, even the Fuwang in the city is a little anxious. You should know that other people really can't clean up and run away. However, as a vassal king, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, he is never allowed to leave Luoyang City. Not only can he not leave, but also his children. Similarly, they are not allowed to leave Luoyang City. Once they leave the city, there is a suspicion of conspiracy. On the one hand, the vassals of Daming can be said to enjoy all their glory and wealth, and on the other hand, it is a group of pigs and sheep in captivity.
Therefore, King Fu repeatedly sent people to put pressure on Feng Yijun, so that Feng Yijun tried to quickly retreat from the enemy and take back the land he had seized by the thief army.
Feng Yijun is so angry! King Fu is standing and talking without pain. If he could destroy or drive Xing Tianjun away, he would have done it without Fu Wang's urging, but he didn't have much troops in his hand, and these officers and soldiers really got home. Even the Guanning army under the command of Zu Kuanzu Da Le, whom they regarded as relying on, fell into the Xing Tianjun. In his hands, how can he retreat from the enemy?
Now it goes without saying that it has retreated from the enemy. It is already a matter of whether Luoyang City can be saved or not. Luoyang is now pulling everywhere, but it is just pulling thousands of soldiers and generals, and it is still unknown whether these soldiers and generals can use it. If Xiong Wencan and Hong Chengchou do not send troops to rescue in time. Luoyang City is also hanging!
This is not to mention that Feng Yijun searched for soldiers and generals everywhere to come to Luoyang City to help fight. Even those soldiers and horses in Yiyang also transferred back more than 2,000 people. Yiyang only left less than 2,000 officers and soldiers to guard, and so many officers and soldiers were pulled outside Luoyang City at once. He had to deal with food and drink in person, as well as the matter of paying the officers and soldiers. Feng Yijun was even more worried, so Feng Yijun discussed with King Fu to ask King Fu to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver first to stabilize the army's heart and survive this period of time.
However, as soon as Feng Yijun's request was put forward, he was refused by King Fu. Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver, King Fu didn't even plan to take out a penny. In his opinion, the matter of guarding the country is the emperor's business, which has nothing to do with his vassal king. When the soldiers guard the land, Zhu Youjian, the emperor's nephew, has the responsibility and obligation to pay the soldiers. Why do they have to pay for the officers and soldiers now? There is no reason in this world, so King Fu is an iron rooster who refuses to pay for anything.
On the contrary, King Fu is still full of complaints about Feng Yijun, saying that he has such a big family business. So many people follow him to eat and drink, and spend too much money every day. Now a large area of his grain field has been occupied by the thief army, and his life is not enough. Now there is no money to pay Feng Yijun to pay for the officers and soldiers! So he not only has no money, but also wants Feng Yijun to help him now!
Feng Yijun almost fainted on the spot. Who didn't know that Fuwang's wealth was invincible! Not to mention that he has tens of millions of taels of silver, at least there is no problem with seven or eight million in his family, but the King of Fu is stunned. He can't let people rush into the King of Fu to grab it!
So at present, he has to wait for Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, to solve this matter. As for whether the Xing Tianjun will attack Luoyang City first before Xiong Wencan leads the troops to rescue, he has no choice!
It is said that Xiong Wencan, who was in Xiangyang, was commanding all kinds of officers and troops to suppress Zhang Xianzhong and other righteous troops. Suddenly, he received an urgent ultimatum from Feng Yijun. He learned that the Xing Tianjun had been dormant in western Henan for nearly half a year and had not continued to expand. Suddenly, he sent troops on both sides and attacked Mianchi and Ruzhou, and immediately ate a lot. Shocked.
The people sent by Feng Yijun made it very clear that the target of Xing Tianjun's action this time must be Luoyang City, and asked Xiong Wencan to quickly dispatch troops to rescue him.
After thinking about Feng Yijun's judgment, Xiong Wencan felt that it was indeed very possible. Although Xing Tianjun has not expanded his territory in the past six months, he will never be idle. Now that they occupy the five counties in western Henan, they will definitely recruit troops, and their strength will improve a lot, and feed so many thieves. Soldiers, it is obviously not possible to rely on the five counties in western Henan alone, so if they want to achieve great things, they must find a way to obtain more resources and money to support them to continue to grow. No matter who stands in the situation of the thief army, they will focus on the rich Luoyang City, so Feng Yijun judged Xing Tianjun It makes sense to suddenly attack Luoyang.
For Luoyang City, Xiong Wencan knows that it can't be lost in any case. Not to mention the status of Luoyang City, Zhu Changxun, the king of blessing in the city, is the uncle of today's saints. Once Luoyang has a loss, he, the governor of the five provinces, can't afford it, so suddenly Xiong Wencan was also a little panicked.
