Chapter 127 Divide the troops again

Just after Xiao Tianjian suddenly led the army to capture Changsha, and taking advantage of the opportunity that the surrounding officials and soldiers were at a loss, Xiao Tianjian immediately sent troops to sweep the Changsha area. In just a few days, Xiangtan, Yiyang, Liuyang and other counties were included in his pocket, and the local officers and soldiers had almost no resistance, or Run away from the wind or surrender on the spot, so that Xing Tianjun did not waste too much time in this regard.

For this move to attack Yuezhou in the south and take Changsha by the way, Xiao Tianjian did not expect that it would be so smooth. He thought that these places had not been killed by war, and the people would not support them too much. The government and the officers and soldiers in various places were likely to resist desperately, but they did not think that things were going so smoothly. Speaking of Liuyang It can even be said to be a little ridiculous. Originally, Xiao Tianjian had not had time to divide his troops to attack Liuyang. It was just because he heard that some of the remnants of the officers and soldiers in Liuyang were making trouble there. He just sent hundreds of soldiers and horses to go there to clean up the remnants of the officers and soldiers there. He didn't think that Liuyang County fled when he heard the news. In the county The officers and soldiers were scattered and left an empty city for Xiao Tianjian, and some people in the city spontaneously organized. They went out of the city to find the people of the Xingtian Army and introduced them into the city. It was easy to pick up Liuyang County for nothing.

Xiao Tianjian didn't expect it. He and his men were a little unexpected about the occurrence of this situation. Even Li Xin, the " chief of staff", could not believe it.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss what to do next. He was faced with two choices, that is, to take advantage of this great opportunity to take down the southern part of Huguang for the time being. If possible, even Jiangxi will simply attack and pull down, and the government of these places in the province has done a good job. Prepare, it will cost some weeks to pick up these places in the future.

The other is that he first put down the matter of this area, continued to act according to the original plan, gave up immediately attacking the southern part of Huguang, left a small number of troops stationed in the Changsha area, continued to lead troops into the Yangtze River, marched towards Wuchang, first took Wuchang, the Huguang provincial capital, and then went south to capture the southern part of Huguang. The area around Jiangxi.

This is a dilemma. If you choose any of these plans, you have to give up another good time. Xiao Tianjian is quite embarrassed. He even wants to sigh the fish and the bear's paw, and he is reluctant to give up either one. Finally, after thinking about it again and again, Xiao Tianjian gritted his teeth and simply had a fish and a bear's paw, leaving this person. Ma's main force continued to attack the southern part of Huguang. The next step was to fight Chongde, Hengyang, Shaoyang, Yongzhou and other places, and strive to take advantage of this opportunity to control the southern part of Huguang as soon as possible. Next, he took advantage of the opportunity to launch an offensive against Jiangxi and strive to take down Jiangxi in a year.

But in terms of selecting generals, Xiao Tianjian is a little hesitant. At present, among the generals he brings, the highest position is Situ Liang, followed by Gao Jian and others. Although Yang Kunshan is a water camp, his status is not low, or even higher than Situ Liang, Yang Kunshan's ability is limited to commanding the water camp and for the siege of the city and the land. It's not his strength, so Yang Kunshan definitely can't!

Situ Liang was born as the leader of the cavalry and is familiar with the tactics of the cavalry, but this guy has a bad temper. Sometimes he doesn't listen to ordinary people. Only Xiao Tianjian can control him. Once released, this guy has a violent personality. Maybe he will cause some trouble, and there are more ethnic minorities in the south of Huguang. He If this bad temper is not good, it may cause chaos here, so Situ Liang is obviously not a suitable person to lead such an important task alone.

Gao Jian is a good boy, and he has been practicing with Xiao Tianjian for so long, but after all, his age is not enough to convince the public, not to mention his vision. It's really difficult to take on a big job.

After thinking about it, Xiao Tianjian finally focused on Li Xin. Li Xin is a person who is good at literature and martial arts, and his mind is very flexible, and he is quite stable, and he is very good at dealing with people from all walks of life. It can be said that he is the only person he can use at present, whether it is seniority or head. In my mind, it is enough to convince the public, so after thinking about it, I can only bear the pain and give up my love, and let Li Xin leave a brief experience in the southern part of Huguang and Jiangxi.

Moreover, Xiao Tianjian did not have the kind of vigilance of Li Zicheng on Li Xin at the beginning. In the Xing Tianjun, although relatives are also welcome to join the gang, the army will never be allowed to arrange their positions by themselves, and the military generals do not have the right to form a family group by themselves. After all the people join the army, they are uniformly assigned to work in various departments. Although Li Xin recruited a lot of relatives of the Li family to join the army for Xiao Tianjian in his hometown, these people are now working in various departments or in the civil service system and cannot form their own group. Therefore, no one can form their own small group in the Xing Tianjun, so they don't have to worry about their tail.

This is also the first problem that Xiao Tianjian should consider when annexing other rebels. Even Zhang Xianzhong's men like Li Dingguo and others still let them control the old army for the time being, but over time, they will gradually break it up and make it gradually and completely integrated into the Xing Tianjun system.

After leaving Li Xin, Xiao Tianjian lost an important staff member. However, compared with the current situation, leaving Li Xin to preside over the strategy in the south of Huguang is obviously more important than staying on Xiao Tian's fitness side. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian finally chose to order Li Xin and stay in Changsha to lead the army to continue in Huguang. The southern strategy, and this time he brought the soldiers and horses, the water camp was divided into two. Yang Kunshan was left to listen to Li Xin's dispatch, and the rest went to Wuchang with Xiao Tianjian. As for the other battalions, Xiao Tianjian left most of them for Li Xin's dispatch, and he only led some people to Huguang.

After making a plan, Li Xin was gladly ordered, because he also thought that Xiao Tianjian was right to do so, and Li Xin was quite excited about Xiao Tianjian's trust in him, and immediately promised to do it well.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian also left Gao Jian and a group of military generals under Li Xin to obey his orders. He attracted these people in front of them and told them to act according to orders and not to disrespect the orders under Li Xin. If anyone does not listen to Li Xin's instructions, then he will not want to fool around in the Xing Tianjun in the future.

After hearing this, Gao Jian and these generals were deeply convinced and quickly said that they did not dare. They would definitely follow Li Xin to do a good job and would never do anything. After all, although Li Xin did not have been in the criminal army for a long time than some of them, they also saw Xiao Tianjian's trust in Li Xin, and where is Li Xin's ability. Let it go, they can't help but not accept it, so you don't have to worry about these guys not listening to Li Xin's words.

After Xiao Tianjian arranged these things, he no longer delayed in Changsha. He immediately ordered the rest of the people and horses, boarded the ship and led the army to start, once again entered the Yangtze River from the Xiangjiang River, and began to march towards Wuchang.
