Chapter 153 Return to Jinnan from the North

In a few days after Luo Rucai's return, Luo Rucai was also relatively cooperative. Soon, he split and reorganized his old department and compiled it into two battalions, which were handed over to Shutian General and Dongshanhu to lead a battalion. Then, according to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, Dongshan Hu quickly led his troops to Luanchuan Town, and He was invited by Xiao Tianjian. In order not to make Xiao Tianjian dissatisfied, he was invited to move to Xiao Tianjian's camp.

However, Luo Rucai is still in the process of reorganizeing. He made some tampers in the two battalions. When assigning manpower, he integrated a group of subordinates who he thought were reliable and able to fight into the camp of the generals, while the relatively weak group of subordinates were integrated into the subordinates of Dongshan Tiger, and placed some of his cronies into Dongshanhu's men secretly watched the Dongshanhu on his behalf. Don't let Dongshanhu and Xiao Tianjian or the people of Xingtianjun get too close, control the battalion of soldiers under Dongshanhu, and don't let him lose control of this battalion.

As for the collapse of the sky, he was more relieved, and according to his proposal, the collapse sky left the camp in place and was closer to him. Fortunately, Xiao Tianjian performed greatly in this regard. When he was transferred from the Dongshan Tiger Camp, he did not arrange them to his old troops, which also made Luo Ru more or less relieved. Some.

Seeing that the New Year was coming, Luo Rucai and Xiao Tianjian discussed what they should do next. Xiao Tianjian then smiled and said, "I'm going to discuss this matter with the deputy commander. It's almost the New Year. Although the officers and soldiers in Henan are mobilized frequently, I don't know that Xiong Wencan can make any big waves before the New Year. At present, we have also temporarily turned to the defensive situation, digesting what we have gained in the past few months and preparing for spring ploughing in various places at the beginning of spring. Therefore, in a short period of time, although the situation in Henan seems dangerous, it is estimated that a big war will not happen!

So it's rare to have such a period of free time. I want to invite the deputy commander to take this opportunity to visit our hometown in Jinnan with me! Since the deputy commander is now also the person in charge of the Xing Tianjun, how can he not look at it in his hometown? What's more, in a blink of an eye, I have been going south to Henan for a year and a half this time. I'm also a little worried about the situation on my side! I don't know if the deputy commander is interested in accompanying me to go north?

Of course, I didn't go back to Jinnan to visit my relatives. During this period in Jinnan, Lu Xiangsheng presided over military affairs and was fighting against our hometown. The war was very sticky. This time, I also want to end the war in Jinnan! How about the deputy commander-in-chief also give me some ideas?

After Luo Ru heard this, he wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say anything. He was afraid that Xiao Tianjian would take this opportunity to cut him from his subordinates and take advantage of his absence to collect his old department, but he refused, and he couldn't find a good excuse, so he said, "If the marshal and I leave Yuxi So, who should be in charge of this place?

"There is no need to worry about this matter. This time we go back to Jinnan. There are Niu Counselor and Li Counselor Li. What's more, there are Luo Li, Liu Bao and other three divisions sitting here and two battalions of the former deputy commander, which can ensure that this place is worry-free!" Xiao Tianjian replied with a smile.

After listening to this, Luo Ru knew that Xiao Tianjian had made up his mind. If he couldn't refuse again, it would seem that he had a ghost in his heart, so he had no choice but to nod and agreed, "In this case, then I'll accompany the commander!" The last time I led my department to Xiezhou, it was only one step away. It was a pity that I didn't go to Yangcheng. It's good to have a look this time!"

The day after the matter was settled, Xiao Tianjian led Situ Liang's cavalry to take Luo Rucai on the road to the north. This time, he returned to Jinnan and left Liu Yaoben in Lushi County. To some extent, he could not believe the old department of Luo Rucai, and was also responsible for monitoring them, and now Xiong Wen Can is transferring troops from Huguang to Henan. There have been a lot of troops in the Nanyang area recently. Zuo Liangyu's troops have been partially transferred to the Nanyangfu area, which poses a threat to the southern part of Lu's County. In order to ensure that the Lu's important base of the Xingtian Army in Henan is not dangerous, Liu Yaoben and the artillery battalion stay in the Lu's town. It seems necessary.

So this time he only took Situ Liang's cavalry battalion back to Jinnan, and most of his troops remained in Henan to form a confrontation with the officers and soldiers to ensure that the territory that had been occupied would not be occupied by the officers and soldiers.

When the Yellow River comes to this season, it has already been frozen again. The winter in the small glacier era is unusually cold. When the temperature reaches the twelfth lunar month, it can be said to drop to at least minus 20 degrees. Therefore, it is no longer possible for ships to pass through the Yellow River at this time. For Xiao Tianjian, it is There was a lot. He led the cavalry battalion to wrap the horse's hoof with hemp rope, directly stepped on the ice on the Yellow River, and returned to the territory of Yuanqu County, Shanxi Province without surprise.

Where they passed along the way, they also checked the garrison under the command of Liu Bao in Yongning and Mianchi. Only then did Luo Rucai really believe that what Xiao Tianjian said at the beginning was indeed true. The strength of Xing Tianjun was really as he said. There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, and the quality of these soldiers and horses. It is no worse than the teaching camp of Liu Yaoben, which he saw in Lushi County, and the quality of the equipment is basically the same. Even if there is a difference, there will not be much difference, which makes Luo Rucai lose the idea of turning back and becoming independent.

In addition to the military strength of the Xingtian Army, Luo Rucai also saw that the Xing Tianjun has established a complete set of effective control within the control area, and set up a quite perfect local civil service system to deal with civil affairs. The military and civilians cooperate with each other to control the territory like an iron barrel. Surnames also live and work in peace and contentment. The villagers in the countryside are stepping up their drills in winter, which also provides sufficient reserve troops for Xing Tianjun. Once there is a large-scale war, these villagers alone can mobilize tens of thousands of people, which makes Luo Ru secretly surprised and has to be worried about Xiao Tianjian. I felt admirable for it, and the restless thought in my heart naturally faded more and more.

The soldiers and civilians in Jinnan were very happy about Xiao Tianjian's return. As long as the soldiers and civilians who got the news along the way, they almost spontaneously rushed to the roadside and waited on the roadside in the cold for a long time, just to take a look at Xiao Tianjian, whom they had not seen for more than a year. Every time Xiao Tianjian passed by, he was full of drums. With a jubilation, Luo Rucai sighed secretly that Xiao Tianjian is really capable and can win the hearts of the people under the jurisdiction. Just looking at the enthusiasm of the people and soldiers of the Xing Tian, there is no doubt that this person will be able to achieve a great career sooner or later.

The enthusiasm of the people also shocked all the people who came back with Xiao Tianjian, especially the generals under Situ Liang who had recently joined the Xingtian Army in Henan Province. They were also very emotional. They were all from ordinary people. At the beginning, they had no choice but to eat. What they want is to have a stable home, and the court can't give them, and the government can't give it to them, but their commander Xiao Tianjian can give it to them, so they just look at these people who are brave the cold and welcome Xiao Tianjian's return along the way. They also feel that their faces are particularly shining. He was also full of strength, and no one regretted following Xiao Tianjian as a soldier. They led the horses one by one, cleaned up their whole body, followed Xiao Tianjian, and received the cheers on both sides of the road with their heads held high.

Returning to Jinnan again is also surging for Xiao Tianjian. To be honest, when he chose to lead his troops south to leave here, he really didn't know when he would come back here or whether he could come back here again. The world is full of all kinds of accidents, and he led the army to fight all year round. In the killing field, danger surrounds him all the time. If he is not careful, he may lose his life and never return to the ground he built with his own hands.

But now he is still back, and he has come back here with the power of great victory, leading the newly formed cavalry battalion back here, which is also a triumphant return.

Looking at the soldiers and civilians who welcomed them on both sides of the road, Xiao Tianjian held his fists and kept salute them. From time to time, he raised his hand and waved to them. On the way, he was really more tired than fighting a big battle, but he was in a very good mood. Looking at the neat farmland around him. And these people who have lost their color on their faces. Xiao Tianjian is very proud of this. This is exactly what he wants. It is also because of his efforts and his soldiers that these people have a place to live in this troubled world. All the hard work should be seen at this moment when these people who welcome him. At that time, he felt it was worth it.

When Xiao Tianjian arrived at Lishan Town, Feng Gouzi led some soldiers from Yuanqu to meet Lishan Town far away and connected Xiao Tianjian to Lishan Town. At this time, Lishan Town no longer had the dilapidated scene as before. The whole town was prosperous, and almost all the people around the town flocked to the town. The outside to welcome Xiao Tianjian's return set off a jubilant scene.

"See the marshal in a humble position!" Feng Gouzi returned to the military position and temporarily served as the acting battalion commander because he was in charge of Yuanqu County during this period, so he wore a blue military uniform of Xing Tianjun. His body was straight and energetic. As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian, he quickly ran to Xiao Tianjian and raised his hand to salute Xiao Tianjian. .

Xiao Tianjian turned over and dislod his horse, punched Feng Gouzi on the shoulder, and laughed and said, "Good boy, you are energetic enough!" Ha ha! I think your name should also be changed. As a general of Xing Tianjun, you can't always be a dog! I've thought about it on the way. Why don't you just change your name to Feng Weihan? What do you think of Wei Dahan?

As soon as Feng Gouzi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly saluted again: "Thank you for your name! From now on, my Feng Gouzi will be called Feng Weihan! Did everyone hear it? My name will be Feng Weihan in the future! No one is allowed to call me Feng Gouzi anymore! Haha!"
