Chapter 346: Ice and Fire

Wu Shixiong was killed, the biggest threat to the front of Changyang County disappeared in an instant, and there was jubilation in Jiaodong City, according to the original plan, the middle road would be the most difficult battle, and the most likely chance to win was to wait for the right wing to lead the main force of the Shuntian Army and Wu Ling after the decisive battle to turn around, and the tactical expectation of the left and right flanking attacks was completely unnecessary. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info And now, the right-wing Mo Luo is still fighting with Wu Ling in the mountains.

Wu Ling, who was good at fighting in the mountains, gave full play to his strengths, and so far, the news that came to Wu Ling was still only a small setback, and it was far from causing the other side to lose its combat effectiveness and confidence.

However, the big victory in the middle will inevitably make Wu Ling on the right flank no longer have the courage to fight, and next, Mo Luo's department will inevitably be overwhelmed.

"General, do you want to chase or not?" Cheng Wenjie asked excitedly.

"No need, poor Kou Mo chase, the rebels first lost Wu Xin, and now there is no Wu Shixiong, only Wu Ling is left, it is difficult to support the overall situation, there is no logistics, no supplies, and even no territory, we don't need to fight, then they will inevitably collapse, there is no need to worry, what we have to do next is to make all preparations immediately to meet the vicious battle with the Taiping Army, that is our real test." Jiang Tao was in a good mood, a battle that should have been a stalemate, because of a stupid move by Wu Shixiong, he easily won a big victory, and the battle situation was reversed, which allowed Changyang County to win more time.

"The middle lane is broken, is it not that the last general will lead his troops to help King Shuntian eliminate the other main force of the Wu Department as soon as possible?" Wu Shifang on the side interjected.

"No, you are still stationed in Jiaodong City, Wen Jie and I took our subordinates to Pingdu, the terrain of the area where Wuling and King Shuntian fought is special, almost all of them are mountainous, and Wuling is an expert in this area, if we increase our troops, it will only make Wuling more and more unable to shrink, shrink in the mountains to fight guerrilla attacks with us, and where is the King of Shuntian, it is enough to make it difficult for Wuling to advance, our task now is to quickly defeat Lu Yifan in Pingdu, three rebel armies, go to two of them, and the other will naturally retreat." Jiang Tao shook his head and said, "And compared to it, Lu Yifan is much easier to deal with than Wu Ling." ”

"The general is right!" Wu Shifang nodded again and again, "But the Taiping Army is also coming soon!" ”

Looking at Wu Shifang, who was full of worry on his face, Jiang Tao smiled, "What we need now is persistence, Da Chu's second support army has already embarked on the road, at most a month, they will go ashore in Baoqing, the second batch of reinforcements is as many as five thousand people, when the time comes, no matter who comes, we will let them taste what it is like to fail!" ”

"Five thousand reinforcements?" The expression on Wu Shifang's face looked very strange, it is good that reinforcements are coming, but if there are five thousand Chu troops, is Changyang County still from the Shuntian army?

Seeming to see through Wu Shifang's thoughts, Jiang Tao stood up and patted Wu Shifang's shoulder with a smile, "General Wu, you have to be long-sighted, you don't have to think too much about some things, just let it be." You are a very talented and promising general in the Suncheon army, and I am optimistic about you. As long as you do it well, the future is limitless. ”

Wu Shifang was happy and worried in his heart, and Jiang Tao's words contained a lot of meanings.

"Okay, you can do whatever you have to do, clean up the battlefield, rectify internal affairs, I won't be involved in these things, I'm tired enough these days, I'm going to sleep, I have to sleep and wake up naturally, Jia Xin, you guard the door for me, no one is allowed to wake me up." Jiang Tao said with a smile.

"Don't worry, general, whoever dares to disturb the general, I will be unkind to him." Jia Xin smiled and said authentically. killed the rebel general Wu Shixiong with one stab, and Jia Xin's mood was also very good.

"By the way, Wu Xin's coffin must not be wantonly humiliated, and it should be placed, this is a talent, it's a pity. If it weren't for this incident, with him guarding Yinshan, it would be extremely difficult for the Taiping army to invade Changyang County, but unfortunately, the death is unknown, and it also makes it difficult for us now, alas, the world is difficult, nothing more than this. Jiang Tao walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, and looked at everyone.

Hearing this, all the Shuntian officers in the house lowered their heads, especially Wu Shifang, who was even more complicated, like their group of officers, most of them were trained by Wu Xin, Wu Shifang was the best among the first batch of trainees, and now he is in a high position, drinking water and thinking of the source, he also has to thank Wu Xin for his cultivation.

"General Wu will never be killed by the king." Wu Shifang exhaled a breath of turbid air and said heavily.

"Who killed it, is it still heavy?" Jiang Tao shook his head and left a little dejectedly. The Chu people didn't want Wu Xin to be in power, because he was an understanding person, but they didn't want him to die, because Wu Xin's existence was an indispensable factor for the stability of the Shuntian army.

But now, the good situation has fallen into many difficulties because of Wu Xin's matter. forced the Chu people to have an early showdown with the Taiping army.

There were several braziers burning in the house, warm as spring, and the hard work during this time made Jiang Tao feel haggard, but the beautiful ending still made him feel happy, climbed into bed, but after a while, he was already asleep.

He had a good dream, dreaming that on the second battlefield, the Chu people once again built a powerful army, from the rear of the Qi people, launched a fierce attack on them, and the eastern border army of Great Chu was flanked back and forth, defeating the Qi army, and the two sides met under the city of Chang'an.

The new emperor ascended the throne, Cheng Wuben went to work, and Jiang Tao had to leave gloomily, for him, it was extremely unwilling, this is like he finally raised a baby in swaddling clothes with hard work, raised white and fat, and raised as strong as a cow, but in the end a person came and snatched his child away easily. This feeling made Jiang Tao extremely uncomfortable.

Now, God has given him a second chance, and he is determined to do a good job, so that the young new emperor in Shangjing City can see who is the Great Wall of the country that he should rely on, is it Luo Liang? Definitely not.

If it weren't for Wu Xin's file, as long as he was given another year, what Taiping Army? It's just some ants, but now, he can only look forward to the reinforcements still at sea who can arrive as soon as possible, and with only the current strength, it is unlikely that he can defeat the Taiping army.

After studying and judging several battles of the Taiping Army, Jiang Tao was extremely vigilant against this enemy, and it was obvious that his opponents were not the senior generals of the Shuntian Army, and most of them were born recklessly.

Jiang Tao's wish to wake up naturally did not come true, and in the early hours of the morning, he was shaken awake, opened his worried eyes, and immediately saw Jia Xin's obviously panicked expression.

He sat up suddenly, he knew very well who Jia Xin was, and the thing that could make Jia Xin panic must have been something wrong.

"General, Pingdu is lost, and Pingdu's nearly 10,000 Shuntian troops are all gone. Lu Yifan has already captured Pingdu, and his striker has occupied Shuibuya. Jia Xin's voice was hurried.

What does it mean for the Suncheon Army to lose Pingdu and let the opponent occupy Shuibuya? It means that on the passage where they connected with Changyang County, they were fiercely inserted into a sharp sword spear by their opponents.

Jiang Yuan's face instantly turned pale, and the good situation he had just obtained by defeating Wu Shixiong disappeared in an instant, no, it was even worse.

"Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan!" Jiang Tao read the name and slowly got out of bed, after the initial shock, he had calmed down, as a person who had seen a big scene, he knew very well that panic could not solve any problems.

"Specific news!" He asked, kneading his face.

"The specific situation, Wu Shifang is under trial, and a group of people have escaped from Pingdu. Wu Shifang sent someone over and asked me to inform the general of the news first. Jia Xin said.

"Where's Bao Hua?"

Jia Xin shook his head.

The two strode towards the front hall, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Wu Shifang's mournful expression.

"General, it's the Taiping Army, the Taiping Army!" Wu Shifang clenched his fists tightly and made a distinguished voice, "Lu Yifan's army is mixed with the Taiping army, according to the description of these people, I am afraid, I am only afraid that the commander of the Taiping army is their supreme leader Li Feng. ”

Jiang Tao's body shook a little, and the most worrying thing still happened. Wu Xin's matter, there must be the participation of the Taiping Army, and the participation is very deep, maybe this matter is done by them, only in this way can we explain why the Taiping Army appeared in Lu Yifan's team.

The only thing that puzzled Jiang Tao was why Wu Xin died on the unique mind of Mo Luo, so that Wu Shixiong and other Wu Xin's old subordinates admitted that it was Mo Luo who killed Wu Xin.

The appearance of the Taiping army in Pingdu and Shuibuya means that the distance between the Tiger Battalion of the Taiping Army and them is by no means what he imagined. Or the next moment, they will appear in front of them.

"Wen Jie!" He shouted: "Send your best scout immediately to inquire in the direction of Yinshan and Mengshan, and you must find the whereabouts of the Tiger Battalion of the Taiping Army." ”

Cheng Wenjie nodded, turned around and left quickly. The atmosphere in the room was extraordinarily solemn, and the joy of the day was gone.

"What about Bao Huaren? How exactly did Pingdu lose it? Turning his head, Jiang Tao looked at a general of the Shuntian Army who was covered in mud and looked embarrassed.

"General Bao, he's gone to find the king." A general's voice trembled. "General Bao led his troops to attack Lu Yifan's camp at night in Pingdu, and everything went well at first, but later, somehow, another enemy army appeared, and we were defeated, and in retrospect, Pingdu City had been seized by a Taiping army."

"Find Morrow!" Jiang Tao smiled ruthlessly: "If you make such a big mistake, it's useless to find the Heavenly King Laozi." Why didn't you follow him to Moro? ”

"Subordinate, subordinate is General Ma Zhe's subordinate."

"Where's Ma Zheren?"

The general hesitated for a moment, "There was chaos at that time, I was a little far away, I saw that General Ma Zhe seemed to have been stabbed by General Bao, I was frightened, and I didn't dare to follow General Bao to find the king, so I could only run to Jiaodong." ”

"What?" There was an incredible exclamation in the room. (To be continued.) )
