November 2, Xunzhou County, Tianjing City.

The majestic Tianjing City, like a giant dragon, is entrenched in the center of the land of southern Sichuan, highlighting the ambition and ambition of the king Hong Xiuquan.

After nearly a year of painstaking management, the total population of Tianjing City has exceeded the 500,000 mark, which is comparable to the first-class county town in the player's territory.

Just when Ouyang Shuo met with the civil officials, Yang Xiuqing led the remnants and finally arrived outside Tianjing City.

Long before Yang Xiuqing arrived, the news of the annihilation of the Southern Route Army in Mulan Fortress had already spread in Tianjing City. The huge city was suddenly solemn.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven could not imagine how the 200,000 elite army could be defeated overnight. The huge blow made the entire imperial court breathless.

The fate of Heaven seemed to be in jeopardy.

It is reported that on the day he got the news, the king Hong Xiuquan directly threw the teacup on the court meeting, and then brushed his sleeves away, leaving the ministers on the court with an embarrassed expression.

On the same day, in the palace, a concubine accidentally mentioned the Mulan Fortress in front of Hong Xiu because she leaked her mouth, and was immediately dragged out of the palace gate and sentenced to death.

This situation is really chilling.

The entire Tianjing City was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.

The usual hustle and bustle of Tianjing City suddenly became deserted.

On the city wall, groups of sergeants patrolled back and forth, their eyes sharp and solemn. Everyone knows that as soon as the Southern Route Army is defeated, the entire Xunzhou County will be exposed to the enemy.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Therefore, when Yang Xiuqing led his troops to arrive at the gate of the city, it was conceivable what kind of eyes would be projected by the soldiers guarding the city or the people around them.

Surprise, disdain, anger, curiosity, and so on.

When Yang Xiuqing saw this, he looked calm.

Only the more than 3,000 soldiers he brought with him were ashamed in the face of such a naked-naked-naked gaze.

How dare you speak up against the defeated army?

A sense of shame arose.

Every soldier was eager to cover his face with a helmet, and he had no face to face the people in the city.

The soldiers in charge of defending the city did not dare to stop Yang Xiuqing and his party. It was just a guard, and when he saw Yang Xiuqing and them, he immediately pulled out his legs and left, seeing where he went, it was the Heavenly King Palace in the city.

Yang Xiuqing was expressionless, led three thousand soldiers, calmly walked through the city gate, and walked straight towards the military camp in the city. I don't know, I thought that the big defeat not long ago didn't happen at all.

The secret agent placed by the Black Snake Guard beside Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but nod when he saw Yang Xiuqing behaving like this.

Yang Xiuqing is indeed extraordinary.

With this Qi cultivation Kung Fu, there are few people who can match it.

Everyone knows that Yang Xiuqing, as the chief general of the whole army, is to blame for this big defeat.

The wrath of the king is so bloody and brutal.

Almost every day, people were rebuked or punished by the king, either as ministers who spoke to him, or as concubines who served him, or as guards who neglected their duties.

The collapse of the Southern Route Army seems to have exploded the negative emotions that Hong Xiuquan has been hiding all along. The whole person suddenly became angry, and it was not pleasing to anyone.

A huge sense of frustration suppressed on Hong Xiuquan's head, making him want to go crazy.

As long as he thought that the great cause he had worked so hard to plan might be buried alive because of this defeat, Hong Xiuquan couldn't wait to eat Yang Xiuqing alive.

As the saying goes, if the heavens want to die, they will make them crazy. At this time, Hong Xiuquan was on the verge of madness.

In this case, Yang Xiuqing's fate seems to be predictable. Being able to leave a whole corpse is probably the best ending.

Not only Yang Xiuqing, but his family is afraid that they will also be slaughtered.

I am afraid that a historical scene will be staged again.

However, Yang Xiuqing neither chose to surrender to Shanhai City, nor did he choose to lead his troops to flee into the mountains and forests, but unswervingly rushed back to Tianjing City all the way.

All of this is really incomprehensible.

In fact, as early as two days ago, Hong Xiuquan learned the whereabouts of Yang Xiuqing and his entourage through the secret intelligence network he mastered.

Therefore, for Yang Xiuqing's confidence, to be honest, Hong Xiuquan is also a little incomprehensible.

The once deserted Tianjing City has become an undercurrent because of Yang Xiuqing's return.

The strange thing is that on this day, neither Hong Xiuquan nor Yang Xiuqing had any superfluous moves. Yang Xiuqing was safely stationed in the barracks, and Hong Xiuquan did not summon him.

Everything seems to be calm.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it's just the calm before the storm.

It is reported that when Yang Xiuqing arrived at the barracks, he arranged for a confidant to rush to the Heavenly King's Palace and send a secret letter to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

It was this secret letter that temporarily saved Yang Xiuqing's life.

Except for the parties concerned, no one knows what is said in the secret letter, which can make the murderous Hong Xiuquan endure it.

It is precisely in this way that the undercurrent in the city is surging more and more.

Especially under the agitation of the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard, the entire Tianjing City has completely turned into a puddle of troubled water.

All forces are exploring each other.

Those who are a little powerful are trying to see through the fog to see the direction of the political situation in the heavenly kingdom.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a luxury.

Because the mountain and sea city that has been planned for a long time has finally revealed its sharp minions.

**********

On the afternoon of November 2, Chiyou City.

After being received by Ouyang Shuo, the hundreds of civil officials who were secretly imprisoned by Chi You set off for Shanhai City with their respective families to settle down.

Among the civil officials, there was only one person left, and he was Pei Ju. Because according to Ouyang Shuo's arrangement, Pei Ju will follow him and go to Xunzhou County together.

Pei Ju is a person who can be civil and martial, and he is really a rare important minister.

Therefore, on this quiet afternoon, Ouyang Shuo met Pei Ju alone in the study. The two monarchs and ministers opened their hearts for the first time and spoke freely.

Ouyang Shuo knew that he had to use the grand cause to re-energize the pride in Pei Ju's heart.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo not only explained the plan to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Pei Juhe, but also gave Pei Ju a bottom of his plan for the next year.

After listening to Ouyang Shuo's grand blueprint, Pei Ju couldn't help but be fascinated. If Ouyang Shuo's blueprint can be realized, why is it inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties? !

It only took an hour for Ouyang Shuo to convince Pei Ju and get his approval.

Pei Ju could only smile bitterly at this.

This expedition with the army is to give Pei Ju a chance to experience the army of Shanhai City up close.

On November 3, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to set off and leave Chiyou City. The accompanying army included three thousand Shenwu Guards, the Praetorian Guard Division, and three independent mountain barbarian divisions.

Only the Shanman Independent Fourth Division, that is, the division prepared for the Iron Armored Beast Division, was temporarily stationed in Chiyou City and was responsible for the regional security work before the formation of the Wuzhou County Garrison Division.

This time, Ouyang Shuo will lead his troops to set off from Chiyou City, advance all the way to the northwest, and go straight to the junction of Guilin County and Xunzhou County, completely blocking Hong Xiuquan's road to the north.

The next day, the Longxiang Legion and the Leopard Tao Legion also divided their troops into two routes and officially attacked Xunzhou County.

The battle to encircle and suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has officially begun!
