Chapter 137 How happy

With the arrival of Li Jinde, Xiao Tianjian finally took some free time from complicated affairs. At this time, he calculated and found that it had been almost ten months since he left Luoyang this time. In this way, Fan Linger was about to give birth to a child.

Thinking that he led his troops to fight abroad for many years, but he put Fan Yutong and Fan Linger in Luoyang. He didn't care about it for a long time. He really felt that he owed them a little. Especially this time after he led his troops out, Fan Linger was pregnant with his child, but he didn't stay with them for a day, so he felt even more I have to be a little ashamed.

If this is a woman from a later generation, if my husband dares to do this, he must make a fuss! Fortunately, today's women have to learn from three and four virtues since she was a child, and they won't show his face.

Since Xing Tianjun took the base in Yangcheng, Xiao Tianjian ordered that no general in the army should bring his family or hide women in the army during the march. Moreover, this rule was implemented from him, so the whole army gradually got used to this rule.

Even some of the rebels who later defected to them, after the rectification, the generals also began to implement this military rule and settle their families. In this way, the military discipline in the army has been rectified a lot.

However, these people are also vigorous men. They are not allowed to bring women's family in the army. In addition, they have to go out for a long time and rarely have a chance to go home to visit. Thinking about this, Xiao Tianjian feels that his opponents are a little in debt.

Thinking of this incident, Xiao Tianjian felt that he immediately had a strong sense of missing his family. Fortunately, when Li Jinde came this time, he brought the news of Luoyang's family to Xiao Tianjian. Fan Yutong and Fan Linger both wrote letters to Xiao Tianjian. They asked Li Jinde to bring it over this time. The letter told Xiao Tianjian that Fan Linger's body Yes, she often invites a famous doctor to the house to diagnose Fan Linger's pulse. The child in her belly is also very good, and Fan Yutong also revealed a message to Xiao Tianjian in the letter, saying that after the diagnosis of the pulse, some famous doctor judged that the child in Fan Linger's belly was probably a girl, which made Fan Yutong a little disappointed. She He said that he really wanted Fan Linger to give birth to a boy for Xiao Tianjian this time, so Xiao Tianjian will have a successor! Even Fan Linger was quite disappointed in this letter.

Xiao Tianjian was not too disappointed about this. After all, he felt that as long as Fan Linger could conceive a child, there would be no problem with his health and there would be more children in the future, so he immediately wrote a reply to them, in which he told them that there was no child, whether the child was male or female. If there is a problem, he likes it. At the same time, he also confided his miss for them in the letter, so that they can take good care of their health. Once they give birth, they will send a letter quickly.

At present, he is in military affairs, and the next step is likely to attack Nanzhili, so it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Luoyang to visit them in a short time. In the letter, he repeatedly said that he apologized.

But I didn't expect that soon after this letter was sent, Luoyang came to the news that Fan Linger really gave birth to a daughter for Xiao Tianjian, which made Xiao Tianjian very happy. In two or three days, he was so happy to think about it.

And his men think that Xiao Tianjian's performance is a little too much. Isn't it just a girl? Are you so happy? And many people are still a little disappointed. They think it would be good if it were a boy. At least the foundation of Xiao Tianjian will have an inheritor in the future! And their interest group will be more stable in the future.

Of course, Xiao Tianjian also knows what his men are thinking, but he won't care too much about this matter. Sooner or later, his son will definitely have it. Now he is not the bandit leader who would fight with his own blades. At present, he can be said to have more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, and many of them are still elite soldiers, his enemies. I'm afraid it's not so easy to take his head now.

So after learning that Fan Linger gave birth to his daughter, he set up a banquet in Wuchang Mansion. He gathered his men who could be recruited and drank bitterly. Fortunately, he relaxed and had fun!

At this time, Xiao Tianjian received several good news at the same time. In the past two months, the situation in various places has changed. First of all, let's talk about Yan Chongxi in Shanxi. After he led his troops to capture the Jinnan area south of Pingyang Prefecture, Yan Chongxi sent Diao Zheng to Weihui Mansion to help. Liu Bao defended Wei Huifu and Huaiqingfu, and resisted the attack of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Baoding, on the territory under the jurisdiction of Xing Tianjun. At present, Diao Zheng is famous. In the battle against Zhanghe, he sneaked up with 2,000 to 20,000 defeats. It can be said that he became famous in the First World War. This matter can be said to be known to the world, and also made Diao Zheng famous. It even surpassed Yan Chongxi, Luo Li, Liu Bao and others.

After Diao Zheng led his troops into Wei Hui's mansion to replace Liu Bao's men and horses, he handed over with Sun Chuanting twice. Sun Chuanting was defeated and had to retreat to Guangping Mansion. Diao Zheng immediately took advantage of the situation to gather troops to lead his troops to pursue him. He not only rushed Sun Chuanting's troops to the north of Guangping Mansion, but also sent people to disguise himself as messengers of the officers and soldiers. Pretending to be Sun Chuanting's subordinates, he fraudulently opened the gate of Zhangde Mansion. More than 20 people who entered the city suddenly attacked and joined hands with the insiders in the city to control the north gate of Changde Mansion. After only a moment, Diao Zheng sent a light horse to rush to the city, and then the army arrived, conquering Zhangde Mansion in one fell swoop and knocked down Zhangde Mansion.

Then Diao Zheng held the power of great victory. In a few days, he took over the famous mansion in the east of Zhangdefu. This time, even Sun Chuanting was also scared. Sun Chuanting was also a very capable person. He was good at unifying the army and training, and was familiar with the art of war. He was able to mobilize morale. When he was in Shaanxi, he cooperated with Hong Chengchou to suppress it. Many Lu Yijun beat Li Zicheng to find his teeth. In the end, if it hadn't been for Xiao Tianjian's help, he and Hong Chengchou almost succeeded in encircling and annihilating Li Zicheng in Shangluo.

Sun Chuanting was originally a very arrogant person, with great ideas and opinions. Even Yang Sichang, who was deeply loved by Zhu Youjian, dared to contradict him. If it hadn't been for the fact that Yang Sichang was kicked out of the capital in advance because of Xing Tianjun's fatigue, he would have been arrested by Yang Sichang's dismissal when he entered Beijing. Now, although his fate has changed, he turned around and met the difficult bone of Xing Tianjun.

After meeting with Xing Tianjun, he found that all his previous experience and things had lost their function in front of Xing Tianjun. In the past six months, he has made a lot of strategies to defeat Xing Tianjun, but every time he met Xing Tianjun, nothing worked. Xing Tian The army was stunned and surrendered for ten times. No matter how he used his tricks, why did the officers and soldiers under his command be weak? When he met the Xing Tianjun, he could not use any move. He could only be beaten, so that Sun Chuanting lost his temper later. He had the intention to imitate the Xing Tianjun, and also pulled out a man with the fireman as the main force and cooperated with the Hongyi cannon. However, at present, the court's financial difficulties are so great that the military pay can't be paid. What's more, the auxiliary land in Beijing has just been harmed by the Tatars. The people either fled south to the control area of the Xing Tianjun, or were abducted by the Tatars. The remaining people are also pitiful. Sun Chuanting even has no place to recruit soldiers and buy horses. He wants it. Equipped with an elite soldier and horse that can compete with the Xingtian Army, it is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, no matter how capable Sun Chuanting is, as long as he is still in the system of the imperial court, it is impossible to get rid of such elite soldiers and horses as Xing Tianjun. After being ordered to go south this time, Sun Chuanting can be said to have been repaired very badly by Liu Bao and Diao Zheng. His officers and soldiers are fighting less and less. At the beginning, he could still attack. After coming to Diao Zhenglai, after a few battles, he could only take a defensive posture. Later, he was even beaten so that he didn't even abide by the law. In turn, he was chased away by Diao Zheng's troops. Therefore, he could not take back Weihui Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion. This time, even Zhangde Mansion and Daming Mansion were thrown to Xing Tianjun, which made Sun Chuanting quickly lead the army to shrink in. When he arrived in Guangping Mansion, he tried to intercept the momentum of Xing Tianjun's northward in Guangping Mansion.

Because Zhangde Mansion and Daming Mansion were broken by Xing Tianjun, Chen Xinjia in the court also fiercely put a brick for Sun Chuanting. After hearing this, Chongzhen also personally ordered to scold Sun Chuanting fiercely. If it hadn't been for the no available person at hand now, it was estimated that Sun Chuanting might have been dismissed from Baoding this time. In the position of governor, he caught the capital and pleaded guilty.

And Yan Chongxi was on the side of Jinnan, and did not stop. After calming Jinnan and appeasing the situation of Jinnan, he gathered troops and began to go north to Pingyang Prefecture. He continued to be attacked from Pingyang Prefecture. Huozhou was captured in September and Fenzhou was captured in October. At the same time, Wang Chengping in the north of Jin Dynasty attacked Shuozhou. After that, in September and October, he and Li Lingfeng divided their troops to wipe out the counties around Xinzhou. Although they did not attack several counties, the local area was basically controlled by them, and the troops also expanded a lot, and the front of soldiers pointed straight to Xinzhou.

In this way, the whole Shanxi basically only left only Taiyuan Prefecture, a small area around the provincial government, which is still under the rule of the imperial court. As for when it falls, it is only a matter of time. If the imperial court does not send more troops to Shanxi, it is estimated that years may not pass.

Let's talk about Henan. After Yan Chongxi sent Diao Zheng to take over his guard of Huifu, he led his troops to turn his attention to the area of Guidefu. First, he was defeated by Liu Zeqing in Kaocheng in August, so that Liu Zeqing led his troops and fled back to Jiningzhou. He no longer dared to invade according to Sun Chuanting's instructions. It's around Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion.

And Liu Bao also freed up his hand. After solving Liu Zeqing's trouble, he dared not continue to cove the territory of Henan Xingtian Army, so he led his troops to fight back.

In mid-September, Liu Bao took Bozhou, killed Suzhou in October, wiped out the officers and soldiers around Suzhou, and surrounded Suzhou City. At the end of October, he first defeated several officers and rescued Suzhou, and then in early November, he took Suzhou City and began to take Xiao Tianjian from Henan. , began to launch an offensive against Nan Zhili.
