Chapter 158 Small Punishment

Although Lu Xiangsheng has a Tianxiong army with more than 10,000 troops, and his Tianxiong army is known as the third strongest army in the world, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Yong to ask Lu Xiangsheng to transfer Tianxiong's army back to Taiyuan to guard. Although Lu Xiangsheng announced the military affairs of Dashan Mountain, the main function of Tianxiong's army is to guard against the construction of slaves. Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to easily mobilize Tianxiong's army to go south, so Wu Jing could only count on the officers and soldiers in the central part of Shanxi.

Just when the Shanxi government was in a panic, Xiao Tianjian personally led his division to Xiangyuan County. Although Xiangyuan County gathered some soldiers who fled from Tunliu and their eldest son to Xiangyuan County, these soldiers had long been scared out of their courage and had no combat effectiveness at all. Not only did they not dare to fight, but on the contrary, they were even Hundreds of defenders who also infected Xiangyuan County panicked together. As soon as the Xing Tianjun army arrived, these miscellaneous soldiers suddenly dispersed, opened the gate and fled to Qinzhou or Wuxiang again.

It can be said that Xiangyuan County did not make any resistance, so it was conquered by Xiao Tianjian. Even the civil officials who did not have time to escape, such as Zhixian County in the city, were also captured on the spot by Xing Tianjun.

At this point, Xiao Tianjian ordered to temporarily stop continuing the attack on Qinzhou, and ordered the soldiers and horses to turn into the rest in the area of Shangma Township in the northern part of Xiangyuan County and the junction of Qinzhou.

The whole New Year's offensive took only more than ten days. Xiao Tianjian led his troops to five counties of Lu'an Prefecture, which expanded the base hundreds of miles again. At the same time, it also posed a threat to Taiyuan. Of course, because the speed of the Xing Tian army's attack was so fast that the officials and rich gentry in these counties were rooted. There was no time to clean up and run away, so as soon as Xing Tianjun arrived, the family wealth of these rich people immediately became the harvest of Xing Tianjun. Without an inventory, the silver liang obtained from Lu'an Mansion was more than 2 million taels. If you add the gains of the surrounding counties, it is only gold and silver, and there will be millions of taels. It is enough to support Xing Tianjun to feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for a year.

And this is not the biggest gain from Xing Tianjun. What makes Xiao Tianjian happy is that they have captured the Huguan. Huguan is a very important pass in the Taihang Mountains. After taking down the Huguan, Xing Tianjun opened up an important passage from Shanxi to the eastern north Zhili, so that Xing Tianjun hardly needs to use any effort. You can cross Taihang Mountain from Jinnan at any time and go straight into Zhangdefu and Huaiqingfu north of the Yellow River, so that Xing Tianjun has a greater room for maneuver in the future.

This battle can really be said to be extremely beautiful. All the troops in Jinnan showed a strong desire to fight because of Xiao Tianjian's personal supervision. Among them, Situ Liang's cavalry battalion fought back and forth for more than a thousand miles around Lu'an Prefecture in ten days, constantly chasing and raiding the cavalry. The action combat ability was played to the fullest. Even other marchers were unable to understand the armor for more than ten days. With Xiao Tianjian, Yan Chongxi and other military generals, they fought continuously. Many of them were tired and almost vomited blood, and some people froze to death because they slept in the wild at night. However, the soldiers rarely complained and got it. The results can be described as brilliant, but the price is not small.

When the war came here, it was not that Xiao Tianjian didn't want to take Qinzhou with one breath, but that these soldiers were already extremely tired. If they were urged to work hard again, even if they took Qinzhou, the soldiers and generals would be completely tired, not to mention occupying. In so many places, it is necessary to consider arranging people to garrison and establish a local township soldier system, which takes time, so Xiao Tianjian can only choose to stop the attack and turn to rest.

This time, Luo Rucai can be said to have participated in the blitz of the Xingtian Army. It can be said that he has personally experienced the strength of the Xing Tianjun's combat effectiveness. In the past, when he led the old department, if he wanted to attack a state capital town such as Lu'an Prefecture, it often relied on human sea tactics. The human life was filled in, using the least. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of exiles besieged the city and may not be able to attack the defenders of more than thousands of people. However, the Xingtian Army is not as small as before, but it is extremely tough and well trained. Whether it is a field battle or siege battle, the division of labor is very clear, and the organization is quite It's appropriate. In addition, Xing Tian's weapons are very sharp. It is not difficult to attack such a city. It can take a city in a day or two. The organization and combat effectiveness shown are all things that Luo Rucai has never dared to think about before. It can be said that Luo Ru is completely convinced. At the same time, it also opened his eyes, so that Luo Rucai can treat Xiao. Tianjian's ability was even more admirable.

Seeing that after attacking Xiangyuan County, Xing Tianjun had turned to rest, Luo Ru asked Xiao Tianjian what to do next. After resting and supplementing, he would he continue to attack Taiyuan Mansion, or simply take the pot to enter Zhangde Mansion.

Xiao Tianjian shook his head with a smile and said, "In this battle, we mainly want to punish the government. We don't really want to capture the whole of Shanxi. In this battle, we have taught the Shanxi government a fierce lesson and let them know that we are not afraid of them, but we don't want to make trouble with them. This lesson is deep enough, so this is It's time to end. It's not the time to fight against Taiyuan Mansion. In this battle, we have conquered five prefectures and counties, and our territory has expanded so much at once. If we attack forward again, we won't be greedy!

Moreover, Taiyuan is really too important for the imperial court. In the words of the current soldiers and horses in Jinnan, even if they attack Taiyuan City, they can't nibble on Taiyuan City. On the contrary, they will force the court to transfer Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong's army back to Taiyuan. At that time, it will be unfavorable to us!

I mean to stop it as soon as it is good. We have achieved our goal in this battle. We have not only defeated Xu Dingguo, eliminated nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, shocked the government, and expanded our territory. Next, we should let Yan Chongxi and Mr. Fu digest what we ate in this battle and restore these counties as soon as possible. The main direction of our next step is to put it in Henan. After a few days of time, we should go back to Henan!"

After hearing this, Luo Ru nodded and said, "Everything has been ordered by the marshal!" This time, my surname is Luo, and I am completely convinced by the general! I didn't expect it! The generals and soldiers under the general are so brave and good at fighting. With such a strong soldier, why don't worry about the world not taking it! However, if the marshal stops attacking, how can Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Jing stop here? Isn't the general afraid of their counterattack?

"We may be powerless to continue to attack in Jinnan at present, but I don't think it's a problem to defend it with Yan Chongxi. What's more, there is a gust of wind and a black wolf in the north to contain Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng does not dare to easily transfer the border troops to the south at all, coupled with the rumors. The outside Jiannu is a little short of food, so he has been ready to move recently. It seems that he plans to knock in. Lu Xiangsheng became the governor of Xuanda, and guarding the border is his first priority. He has to focus on the area of Xuanda University, relying only on the Shanxi soldiers mobilized by Wu Jing, hum! It's not that I underestimate them. In the past few years, we have fought with the Shanxi officers and soldiers many times, but they have never taken a little discount under us. Now that Lu'an Mansion has been eaten by us, they want to take it back. I'm afraid they don't have the ability!

Of course, I will also let the Shanxi government know what they should do next. Vice Marshal Luo can rest assured about this!" Xiao Tianjian replied to Luo Rucai with a relaxed face.

(At this time, there will be more things to do. It's not easy to sit down and code words honestly. If the number of words is less, please forgive me. After all, I will continue to update during the Spring Festival, which is also valuable!)
