Chapter 493: Difficult Situation

The scorching battle situation in Yangzhou, only because of Sun Wu alone, was reversed again.

Hong Xiuquan was ready to retreat, after all, it was obviously unrealistic to want to capture Yangzhou in such a situation.

But at this time, the Han army's 'accident' exposed a big flaw, Shi Dakai and Yang Xiuqing felt that there was fraud in it, and they both advised Hong Xiuquan not to rush into the army.

Hong Xiuquan asked where the two were cheating? But the two couldn't say why, which also made Hong Xiuquan hesitate in his heart.

A great temptation came ahead, and Hong Xiuquan, after careful consideration, finally decided to continue to march.

In his opinion, there is no risk in a war, and the risk is often proportional to the receipt, and once this success is worth the risk.

Under the temptation of Yangzhou, Hong Xiuquan was completely dizzy, and stupidly led the army across the Yangtze River, preparing to attack the Han army's grain depot.

The deployment of the Han army's troops in Jiangdong, a little east and a little west, seems to be very fragmented, but in fact it is a pocket array specially arranged for Hong Xiuquan, waiting to encircle and annihilate the tens of thousands of Yangzhou Ming troops.

Hong Xiuquan's army had just crossed the Yangtze River, and before he could attack the Han army's grain depot, his retreat was cut off by the Han army.

Sun Wu and Sun Jian personally led the naval army and attacked Hong Xiuquan's naval army Dazhai, and tens of thousands of Ming troops were completely sealed in Jiangdong and could never return to Jiangbei.

Jiangdong, the camp of the Ming army.

Hong Xiuquan still had illusions about victory, and Yang Xiuqing persuaded bitterly when he saw this: "My lord, our army and navy have been completely annihilated, even if the blockade of the Han army is broken, there is no way to return to Jiangbei, and the whole army will be wiped out if it goes on like this." ”

Hong Xiuquan didn't expect the situation to collapse to such an extent in an instant, and now he finally understood the feelings of his master Zhang Jiao after the million army was locked in Sizhou.

Hong Xiuquan sighed and said helplessly: "Then Brother Yang, what do you say?" ”

Yang Xiuqing didn't think about it, and said directly: "The Han army wants to encircle and annihilate our army on all sides, but it is not easy to do this, our army can completely defend according to the danger, and can take advantage of this gap to ask the court for help, and now only the intervention of external forces can save our army from returning to Jiangbei." ”

"What?" Hong Xiuquan's face suddenly changed, and he said excitedly: "You want to make Ben Shuai want Zhang Sheng's ...... That kid bows his head? It's absolutely impossible. ”

Hong Xiuquan knew Zhang Sheng's identity, so he always thought that he was the orthodox Ming Dynasty, and now let him ask Zhang Sheng for help in a low voice, and he was naturally extremely reluctant in his heart.

Shi Dakai also knew that Hong Xiuquan had always been unrelenting about the emperor's position, so he persuaded: "Lord, why bother with Your Majesty at such a time, only by keeping the army can you have a chance to do something else." ”

"Yes, my lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Yang Xiuqing also continued to persuade.

Hong Xiuquan's face immediately turned blue and red, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded slowly.

——————

Chen Liu, the temporary palace of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Sheng glanced at the ministers under the court, he said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, Hong Xiuquan, the governor of Yangzhou, is trapped in Jiangdong, what should you do now?" ”

Zhang Sheng's current situation is not good, Li Mi has been defeated repeatedly on the side of Yuzhou, and only two kingdoms are left in the four kingdoms of Yuzhou, and the Liang and Lu states are occupied by Cao Yuan respectively.

Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's territory has bordered Yanzhou, which also threatens the safety of the Ming court.

Just when Zhang Sheng was considering whether to send troops to recapture the two counties of Yuzhou to ensure the safety of Yanzhou, Hong Xiuquan was trapped in Jiangdong again.

This is simply a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

Once Hong Xiuquan's army is annihilated, Xuzhou will be threatened by the Han army, and the west of the Ming court will face a threat.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous, Daming was like a ship that couldn't be repaired no matter how much he made up for the leakage, no matter how hard Zhang Sheng tried to remedy it, it was still difficult to avoid perdition.

Hong Xiuquan is a waste, he asked you to withdraw from the army at the beginning, but now he has suffered a big loss and thinks of the court, what does he do with the court? Zhang Sheng couldn't help but scold him angrily in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he should not send troops, Hong Xiuquan is arrogant, he has never respected His Majesty and the court, it is better to let him fend for himself."

Feng Yunshan was the first to stand up and speak, but said in his heart: Hong Xiuquan, when you took away my merits and suppressed me from me, now is the time for me Feng Yunshan to 'repay' you.

Guo Jia then stood up and retorted: "Weichen doesn't agree with Lord Feng's words. Once Hong Xiuquan is defeated, the two counties in Jiangbei will inevitably be lost, and our army will soon have to face the Han army in the south, so we must not see death without help. ”

Feng Yunshan didn't expect Guo Jia to help Hong Xiuquan speak, and immediately frowned and retorted: "Brother Xiaofeng, the imperial court has no threat to the Han army in the southeast and south, and the new army has not yet been trained, even if you want to save it, where will the soldiers come from?" ”

When the other ministers heard this, they couldn't help but nod secretly, putting aside the grievances between Feng Yunshan and Hong Xiuquan, what Feng Yunshan said was also true.

Guo Jia was obviously prepared, and said unhurriedly: "What's so difficult about this, although the imperial court can't send troops at present, it can give an order and order Fang La, the governor of Xuzhou, to send troops to rescue." ”

"But will Fang La send troops?" Zhang Sheng couldn't help but ask.

Although Fang La's attitude towards her was quite respectful, the intention of secession was also very obvious, so Zhang Sheng was not sure that Fang La would act in accordance with his orders.

"Your Majesty, once Hong Xiuquan is defeated, the first to bear the brunt is Fang La's Xuzhou, so Fang La will definitely send troops to rescue." Guo Jia said confidently.

Although Zhang Sheng was extremely dissatisfied with Hong Xiuquan, when it came to collective interests, he could still distinguish between priorities and priorities, so he said decisively: "Since this is the case, then I will order Fang La to send troops and go to rescue Hong Xiuquan!" ”

——————

Xuzhou.

After Fang La received Zhang Sheng's holy decree, he didn't think much about it and prepared to lead the troops to rescue, after all, once Hong Xiuquan was destroyed, it would indeed be him who would have the greatest impact.

But before leaving, Fang La was changed by one person, who was still from a hundred families.

"Mr. Zou, no, Uncle Zu, Master Zu really said that he wanted to accept my lap into the Yin and Yang family?" Fang La said excitedly.

Fang La didn't know the grievances between Zhang Jiao and the Yin-Yang family, he only knew that his master Zhang Jiao was also from the Yin-Yang family, so he also wanted to get the support of the Yin-Yang family by returning to the Yin-Yang family.

Zhang Jiao became a cause for the Yin and Yang family, and if he Fang La could get the support of the Yin and Yang family, would he do something comparable to a great cause as a master?

As soon as he thought of this, Fang La was even more determined to return to the Yin and Yang family.

It is much easier to have a university school as a backer than a one-person struggle, and the heritage of these university schools is richer than that of a family.

At the beginning of the Yellow Turban, it swept the entire Kanto region in a short period of time, and hundreds of schools made a lot of efforts from it!
