Chapter 629 Recent Situations in Shanxi (Third Change)

He Jinzhao continued to look down.

For this great victory, Hong Chengchou asked for his troops to be commended, and the first merit should be awarded to Cao Wenzhao, the general soldier of Lintao.

Praise him for his loyalty and integrity, for his bravery and courage, for more than a hundred times in the Qin and Jin Dynasties, he broke through the formation and beheaded the generals. , today's generals are rare.

More than a dozen people, including Ma Ke and Cao Bianjiao, were also listed later, who were unparalleled in bravery every time they charged into battle.

He Jinzhao took a closer look, but he didn't see the achievements of Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Yansui!
It seems that he was classified as "waiting for others" by Hong Chengchou.

"Hahaha."

He Jinzhao laughed out loud, maybe it was Hong Chengchou who was dissatisfied with Wang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief, who stirred up the rebellion of the frontier army god Yikui and others after he took office, and gave him a meritorious deed.

I can't blame Wang Chengyin for sending all the exact news, and I may be thinking of something in my heart.

The point is that Wang Chengyin said that Hong Chengchou was not satisfied with destroying the thieves in Qin, but also in Jin. He discussed with Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shaanxi, Jin Lan (the former) and Zhang Yingxing (the current one), the governor of Shaanxi.

In view of the severe situation in Shanxi, it was decided to carefully count the [-] officers and soldiers who had fought many battles, led by Cao Wenzhao, as the vanguard, to sneak across the Yellow River. The crossing location may be in Hejin, Puzhou and other places , Cooperate with the Shanxi government army to rescue Lu'an Mansion first.

He Jinzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that Hong Chengchou really wanted to come for him, knowing that he was not easy to fight, so he first attacked the rebel army entrenched in the south of Shanxi.

These two river crossing points can be said to be the southernmost point of Shanxi Province. He Jinzhao's hands can't reach the officers and soldiers crossing the river thousands of miles away, and it is very likely that he will cut off his own salt supply.

"Did anyone send someone across the river to recruit old peasants from Qin to come to Jin at these times?"

"Returning to my lord, in the past six months or so, 760 households have been recalled in Fugu County, Jiazhou, Mizhi and other places, with a population of [-]. Most of them are old and weak, women and children."

Yang Yuxiu said with a little recollection: "If you don't stick to the mud, send troops to Mizhi and Jiazhou. Maybe they also plan to contact us. Unfortunately, when the envoy crossed the river, he was unfamiliar with the river section and sank in the Yellow River."

"I won't accept this kind of person." He Jinzhao glanced at him: "Good job, save me trouble."

Yang Yuxiu cupped his hands slightly: "My lord, I said earlier that I would take revenge for betraying and killing Wang Jiayin, the leader of the uprising army in Qin.

It must be God's will not to let people like Buzhanmu live in the world, just to let the world see what will happen if they surrender to the officers and soldiers. "

Everyone died, and He Jinzhao didn't bother to take care of this kind of thing. Someone under his command did it, so as not to ruin his reputation in the rebel army.

"Has there been any recent movements by that group of officers and soldiers entrenched in Jiexiu County?"

"Returning to my lord, because we have been under siege for nearly two years, plus the defeated soldiers go to the city from time to time, the food in the city has almost been consumed.

This group of officers and soldiers robbed the wealthy households, then crossed Mianshan Mountain overnight and ran into Qinzhou, and slipped to Lu'an Mansion to reunite with the local officers and soldiers. "

"So Jiexiu County is also under our control?"

"Yes."

Yang Yuxiu responded, Huozhou, Zhaocheng, and Hongdong counties in the south of Fenxi County were actually under the control of the Hammer Bandits, because Li Zicheng led a large number of troops into Henan.

The county further south of Hongdong County is Linfen County, the seat of Pingyang Prefecture, which is now the base of Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang.

Yang Yuxiu brought the map of Shanxi Province calmly.

He Jinzhao stood up and took a closer look, and immediately discovered the problem: "When did these three counties become ours?"

"My lord, Chuang Li Zicheng led troops out of Henan and is growing stronger. Please take care of the three counties." Yang Yuxiu clasped his hands slightly and explained the reason.

He Jinzhao frowned, paused, and said, "Brother Gao and I are life-and-death friends, our hands are stretched too far, don't occupy the three counties of Hongdong County, and don't occupy the vast rural areas.

Even if Li Zicheng sent someone to notify him, he is still Brother Gao’s younger brother. How can he ask me to help him guard the county? I won’t do such a thankless job unless he brings some people from Henan to Laozi. .

The county town was almost ruined by Cao Cao and Luo Rucai. It's useless for us to want the county town?
There are not enough people farming in the north of Jindi, and our continuous expansion has made our front line too long.

In the past two years, we will first consolidate the foundation of northern Shanxi, and then expand the entire Shanxi. "

"Yes, I understand."

He Jinzhao wanted to conquer the Mongolian right wing. In addition to controlling the grassland, he wanted to call back those Han people who ran from Shanxi Province to the grassland to farm for survival.

How much harvest can there be from farming on the grassland?
Yang Yuxiu also knew that a while ago, his lord took Gao Yingxiang to the capital to kill the emperor and help King Gao Chuang to become famous.

In his opinion, the purpose of the appointment was to make King Gao Chuang and Zijin Liang fight each other, so that he could reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

Even if King Gao Chuang is famous all over the world, as soon as his name is mentioned, more people will join his team, making the officers and soldiers fear him even more.

But Yang Yuxiu felt that his master was the biggest beneficiary.

Now the lord has returned the county seat, but the vast land outside the county seat is still reserved, which is enough to explain many problems.

The only problem now is how many people are under the lord's rule.

Just because the arable land occupied by Jin Wang's lineage has not been distributed, and half of it has not been distributed to the people for cultivation, they are so panicked.

"What are Brother Gao's forces doing these days?"

"After King Gao Chuang came back from the grassland, the rumors about going to Beijing to kill the emperor became even more heated. Many leaders of the rebel army who originally followed the leader Zijinliang all switched to him."

"So, Brother Gao's popularity among the leaders of the rebel army has skyrocketed?"

"Yes."

"It's not bad." He Jinzhao laughed twice: "If you want me to say, Brother Gao is better at fighting than Zijin Liang, he is too timid, but he has a lot of thoughts.

I worked with him in Beizhili to deal with the army, and I feel that this person will not last long. If he dares to fight and rush, maybe we can make a bigger commotion in Beijing. "

Yang Yuxiu didn't respond to his protagonist's analysis.

"In any case, our rebel army is weak, and we need more people to join the rebel army. Until Ming Dynasty falls, we are still the strongest allies."

He Jinzhao patted Yang Yuxiu on the shoulder: "I know what you're thinking, but the time is not yet, Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and even Yaerqiang Kingdom and so on.

We only occupy half of the province and we have to turn against the rest of the rebels. This is not worth the loss. Only by making more allies can we succeed. "

Yang Yuxiu bowed again and said, "My lord, I didn't think long enough about this matter."

"Well, your thinking is naturally applicable in Daming." He Jinzhao looked at the map and said, "After Brother Gao came back, is he still leading the rebels from all walks of life to attack Lu'an Mansion?"

"Yes, but they haven't conquered Changzhi yet, and they can't capture King Shen."

He Jinzhao let out a long sigh: "It's a fluke that we were able to conquer Taiyuan. I'm not willing to let me fight Taiyuan with real swords and guns."
