Handan.

It is adjacent to the Taihang Mountains in the west, the North China Plain in the east, borders the three provinces of Jin, Shandong and Henan, and is less than a thousand miles away from Beijing.

I have to say that Shanxi has a good geographical location. The more you go east, the lower the terrain.

Therefore, it is extremely easy to go out from Shanxi. If you advance from Hebei to Shanxi, you always have to climb the hill.

There are two blacks in Handan, one is coal and the other is mine.

The Tianxiong Army recruited by Lu Xiangsheng also had miners of many sizes.

He Jinchao stood on the earth slope and looked at the town of Handan County from afar.

This city has a long history, not only the capital of Zhao State, but also the idiom "Learn to the Way" in Handan, which has made it famous for generations.

At this time, the gate was closed and many soldiers stood on the city wall.

"We appeared here with such a swagger, and the news has long been reached in Lu Xiangsheng's ears."

Gao Yingxiang squatted aside with the grass in his mouth.

It was very smooth when passing Henan, and there was no resistance from the official army. Several landlords were killed along the way to replenish military rations.

By the way, they opened the warehouse and released the grain, and then a large group of people wanted to rebel.

Finally, He Jinchao sent a small team to lead these people away to Shanxi and handed them over to Dang Shousu.

In short, we can't take them to the east, and there are too many people who can't survive.

When the imperial court was in a state of decline in February, it would have to collect taxes. It would be a problem for the people to eat. How can they have money to pay taxes?

"We have so many people who want to conceal their whereabouts, but they cannot hide them."

He Jinchao continued to observe Handan with a telescope:

"As long as we go to Henan, it will be difficult for Lu Xiangsheng to pursue him across borders."

In any case, they have to ask for instructions first and then take action.

Gao Yingxiang felt that this time, he was less than a thousand miles away from the capital, so he had to get up anyway.

Now I have just left Henan and entered Hebei.

"Brother He, are we working hard outside Handan City?"

"Tomorrow we will go to Yongnian County. Today we will only show off in Handan. Let's see if the officials in the city will come to attack us."

He Jinchao handed Gao Yingxiang the telescope in his hand and asked him to see it.

This group of officials is much better in momentum than those in Shanxi.

Dai Junen was in a hurry to train the army, but he had enough time and means to train soldiers like Lu Xiangsheng.

"There are 30,000 Tianxiong Army, and there are only 3,000 people in Handan, and 20,000 of them are in the hands of Lu Xiangsheng, and there is no need to mobilize them."

He Jinchao took out a simple map of Hebei again, hoping that Yongnian County, the capital of Guangping Prefecture, could have fewer people stationed.

The magistrate of Handan, An Jia, was dressed in an official uniform and looked solemn. He looked at the cavalry outside the city and was really uneasy.

Is this just the vanguard of the rebels?

He also heard that there were hundreds of thousands of rebels in Shanxi, but he didn't expect that they would appear in Hebei. Could it be that the entire Shanxi had fallen into their hands?

The Shaanxi government troops did not enter Shanxi to attack them, letting these people grow bigger?

It really wasted the training of the court.

These people crossed the Taihang Mountains before reaching Beizhili.

An Jia secretly clenched his fists. Handan was still rich, but he said that Shanxi had caused thieves and many gentry families were in the countryside. Now they would like to be blessed.

He shook his head again, hoping that the forces behind these people would not put all these responsibilities on Lord Lu's head.

Everyone knows the fate of Yuan Chonghuan being dismembered. Those who have lost their wealth will ignore this and that.

Just as An Jia was imagining, he heard: "Sir, they have retreated."

The magistrate An Jia looked up and saw that the thieves from three hundred steps outside the city were all slowly leaving with their horses. It seemed that he felt that Handan County was not easy to fight.

Jin Zhiyi cheered with the government troops on the city.

These bandits retreated in a difficult situation, and it is the best one.

"Sir, are we going to pursue?"

An Jia shook his head, hoping that Lord Lu could quickly prepare for the war, and he would intercept the retreat of the thieves so that they could not escape back to Shanxi.

Don't worry about chasing.

Wang Ziyong and others were stationed in Jiming Township, and there was no shortage of landlords in any place.

They will be able to seize food, money, and women after they kill a few.

Wang Ziyong did not prohibit these things.

Everyone is already familiar with this process, killing the landlords, opening warehouses and releasing grain, and roaming these people in Shanxi and Henan.

Now that he has entered Hebei, he doesn't know if He Jinchao wants these people with delicious noodles.

He Jinchao brought a few confidants and Gao Yingxiang into the landlord's courtyard, and occasionally the crying of women came from the room.

Gao Yingxiang could not see any joy and anger on his face, and He Jinchao just raised his eyebrows and did not kick the door to stop him.

Everyone is working together and has not met officers and soldiers yet. How can they start to fight internally because of this different concept of military governance?

These people did this in front of Wang Ziyong. I believe they were not confidants or hardcore.

Wang Ziyong knew how Wang Jiayin died, so he was very grateful to the people around him.

"Leader."

After the two sides met, Wang Ziyong asked the two to sit down and ask about the situation in Handan County.

He Jinchao said it, and Wang Ziyong nodded repeatedly. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he hits the county or not.

He now likes He Jinchao's approach.

I guess this is how the Jurchens acted.

The food is gone, I snatch it.

"Leader, I have something to say." He Jinchao sighed as he heard the sound in the room:

"I hope the leader can restrain his subordinates. The Tianxiong Army here is not that easy to deal with.

The leader can transport the collected money back to Shanxi for the time being. If we take it all the way, we will inevitably be unable to move."

Listening to He Jinchao's words, Wang Ziyong agreed.

He Jinchao Yu Gao Yingxiang said goodbye, but the two of them did not get together with Wang Ziyong and others.

The military discipline of the two of them was strictly strict in the entire rebel army.

The words have been brought to you, but it is their business whether they execute them or not.

Gao Yingxiang held grassroots in his mouth: "He is too generous to restrain the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command."

Wang Ziyong inherited his status and could only win over the people under his command.

Unlike the two of them who were led by a team that was fought with one sword and one shot.

He Jinchao pinched his waist knife and looked at the big player:

"The leader of the alliance is not good at sex and money, but unfortunately he sets an example like this and cannot affect the people under his command. I don't know if he did this on purpose."

"Be careful."

Gao Yingxiang pulled He Jinchao to the distance. Since he couldn't control others, he would not let his soldiers be damaged by them.

"It was all fought in Shaanxi. I was not smart enough and I had already died eight times."

He Jinchao walked slowly with his waist knife on his back: "I never underestimate anyone."

"I know."

Gao Yingxiang's face was as usual, and he couldn't see any joy. He said calmly:

"Of course, you and I don't need a lesson from you or me.

After entering Beizhili this time, you and I need to make more famous for the leader of the King!"

"Well, Brother Gao is right." He Jinchao nodded: "The name of our rebel army leader should be awesome to the Northern Zhili!"
