Chapter 516: A Strange Military Order

"Things have to start with history......

In this silent midnight, in the makeshift camp, Yang Xiuqing learned from the sergeant's mouth about the magnificent scenes that took place in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom since the beginning of the Jintian Uprising. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Until the Tianjing Incident broke out, Yang Xiuqing listened to mixed tastes. Historically, Yang Xiuqing finally came to an end because of his increasingly inflated ambitions.

After listening to the sergeant's story, Yang Xiuqing's heart set off a turbulent wave.

All the previous mysteries have been explained.

At this moment, Yang Xiuqing was extremely confused and even a little desperate.

At this time, he led his troops back to Tianjing City, will Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan still forgive him?

I'm afraid there is little hope.

The sergeant looked at Yang Xiuqing with an inexplicable expression.

This sergeant is the senior agent of the Military Intelligence Department lurking beside Yang Xiuqing. His task is to completely separate Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing at a critical moment, and win Yang Xiuqing over completely.

"I have a plan to help the general break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, I wonder if the general is willing?"

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, he glanced at the sergeant cautiously, and asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency has tried your best to get close to me, I'm afraid you have other plans." Why, can't you tell who is behind you now? ”

"With the wisdom of the general, I'm afraid I have already guessed it!"

The sergeant smiled slightly, looking confident.

Yang Xiuqing was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be a mountain ......?" ”

"Not bad!"

"Hey, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

"My lord has admired the general for a long time. He will be successful in the future, and he will be reused. The sergeant said, took out a secret letter from his bosom, and handed it to Yang Xiuqing.

This secret letter is the secret letter that Ouyang Shuo specially passed through the Military Intelligence Department. Of course, this secret letter was actually written two months ago.

The letter is nothing more than promises.

Not only this secret agent, but other secret agents also carried similar secret letters. As long as the time is ripe, you can use this secret letter to plot against the enemy's dignitaries.

Yang Xiuqing looked at it and was shocked in her heart.

For Yang Xiuqing, what Ouyang Shuo promised was a county guard.

The county guard, whether it is in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or in Shanhai City, is a very popular minister.

Such a promise cannot be described as insincere.

Although there were only a few words in the letter, Yang Xiuqing could feel that Lianzhou Hou Bo was broad-minded. Compared with Hong Xiuquan, who has tried and failed, the two are really incompatible.

It is a blessing to serve under such a lord.

I have to say that the characteristics of Ouyang Shuo's personal title [Male Master] were vividly exerted at this moment. This kind of influence, for historical figures, is subtle.

If it was someone else, it was not so easy to convince Yang Xiuqing.

What Yang Xiuqing didn't expect was that the layout of Lianzhou Hou was so far-reaching. The other party was in heaven early and laid so much foreshadowing.

From this point of view, the kingdom of heaven must also be infiltrated by the other party. It's ridiculous, Hong Xiuquan still thinks that his heavenly kingdom is solid.

Thinking about it this way, the prospects of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are getting bleaker and bleaker.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch.

Since Hong Xiuquan can no longer trust him, Yang Xiuqing can only change the master.

"That's it, that's it!"

In the end, Yang Xiuqing let out a long sigh, put the secret letter in his arms, and said lightly: "From today on, you will be transferred to serve as my personal guard!" ”

In the most desperate moments, people cannot refuse the life-saving straw offered by others.

Yang Xiuqing is naturally no exception.

"General Shengming!"

The spy was overjoyed and quietly retreated.

As for the specific arrangement, it is natural to discuss later.

After all, in the dead of night, the two talk for too long, which is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

The sergeant was not worried, Yang Xiuqing would go and report him. The smarter the person, the more they know how to weigh the pros and cons. For Yang Xiuqing, going forward is the abyss, and taking a step back is the sea and the sky.

How to choose, it's too simple.

Yang Xiuqing is not so loyal to the kingdom of heaven.

Outside the tent, the night became deeper and deeper, like thick ink, and I couldn't see my fingers. After tonight, the fate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, like this night, will be less and less visible.

**********

October 28, Mulan Fortress.

When the morning sun rose again, outside the Mulan Fortress, it was already a busy scene. When the battle ended yesterday, it was already night, and there was no time to clean up the battlefield.

When the battlefield reappears in the field of vision under the sunlight, it can't help but be moving.

On the battlefield, which stretched for more than ten miles, corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed like rivers. The gurgling bloodstains, after a night of flowing, completely seeped into the dirt.

According to preliminary estimates, just last night, at least 50,000 soldiers were completely buried on the battlefield.

In the Taiping Army, there are still many people who sigh and sing sadly.

Bai Qi and Han Xin, two god generals, stood side by side at the head of the city, staring at the battlefield outside the city, speechless for a while.

The two armies successfully joined forces, and joined forces to annihilate the Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in one fell swoop, what should they do next, the two are still waiting for the order of the Military Affairs Bureau, or the prince.

Last night's battle report has been sent to Chiyou City overnight.

According to the time calculation, there should be news by this morning at the latest.

According to preliminary statistics after the war, more than 120,000 soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were captured in this battle, and countless grain and grass materials, more than 20,000 war horses, four artillery pieces, and a number of other materials were captured.

In addition, one of the four generals of the Southern Route Army was killed in battle, and two were captured one after another.

In this battle, Shanhai City can be described as a complete victory.

Of course, in the last bloody battle, the two major armies did not pay a price, a total of more than 10,000 soldiers, completely resting on the ground outside the fortress.

Han Xin turned his head and glanced at Bai Qi casually.

For this killing god, Han Xin was both admired and unconvinced. He really wanted to break his wrist with Bai Qi, the name of the first god general in the army of Shanhai City, Han Xin was unwilling to give up.

What about white rising?

No matter when and where, Bai Qi has a serious appearance, which makes people completely unable to see through his emotions.

In this war, both of them made great contributions.

In contrast, Han Xin's long-distance attack, coupled with a decisive attack, was the key to a big victory in this battle. Therefore, when it comes to this battle, Han Xin can be said to have won a small victory.

Is the name of the soldier immortal general?

"General Qiyu, a letter from the prince!"

At this moment, the intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Department stationed in the Mulan Fortress hurriedly ran over.

The two of them suddenly turned around at the same time, and their eyes lit up.

The fact that the prince replied so quickly was indeed a bit unexpected for them.

Bai Qi, as the chief general of Mulan Fortress, took the letter first, read it quickly, and then handed it to Han Xin.

After reading it, Han Xin was a little silent for a while.

The prince's explanation in the letter made both of them a little puzzled.

Skipping the congratulatory words, the letter mainly explained the arrangements for the two major armies.

"The royal decree that after the two armies met in Mulan Fortress, they repaired on the spot for a few days. After the first division of the Longxiang Army led by Jiang Kai rushed to Mulan Fortress, they would attack again.

The Taiping army surrendered and handed over to the custody of the city guard division.

The two major armies, starting from Mulan Fortress, divided their troops into two routes, one east and one west, and slowly advanced towards Tianjing City. Along the way, siege the city, and don't leave any fish that slip through the net.

The Administration will send officials to cooperate with the army all the way to receive the captured cities.

As for the capture of Tianjing, it can be delayed. ”

It was this last sentence that made Bai Qi and Han Xin a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that the Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Western Expeditionary Army is far away in Kunming County, which is beyond the reach of the whip, which is a good time for the light army to advance quickly and capture Tianjing City in one fell swoop.

I never thought that the prince's intention was not to capture Tianjing City early.

The reason for this is really puzzling.

It's just the order of the prince and the marquis, and they can't be violated, and the two can only cry out in vain.

After a brief discussion, it was finally decided that Bai Qi would lead the Longxiang Legion, starting from the east and advancing all the way to the north; Han Xin led the Leopard Tao Army, starting from the west, and also advancing all the way to the north.

The two legions agreed to meet again outside Tianjing City.

According to the battle report sent by Jiang Kai, the first division of the Longxiang Army will walk out of the 100,000 mountains in a few days. Therefore, the specific date of departure is set for November 4, that is, five days later.

Why did Ouyang Shuo make such a decision?

The time has to go back to the moment Ouyang Shuo received the battle report late last night.

Knowing that the two major legions met in advance and successfully exterminated the Southern Route Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Ouyang Shuo was naturally happy. After this battle, the situation in the southwest is basically irreversible.

As for why he didn't directly send troops to capture Tianjing City, he had to return to the artillery.

Historically, Hong Xiuquan was unwilling to retreat because of his stubborn defense of Tianjing City, and was finally defeated. Reliving a lifetime, Ouyang Shuo would not believe that Hong Xiuquan would still be so stubborn.

Therefore, once the army breaks through, Hong Xiuquan is very likely to abandon the city and flee. In this way, the artillery technical manual will naturally disappear along with it.

And this is something that Ouyang Shuo can't accept no matter what.

Therefore, the only way is to stabilize Hong Xiuquan.

The two armies repaired a little, and then slowly advanced towards Tianjing, which gave Hong Xiuquan hope. In this way, Hong Xiuquan was able to order the Western Expeditionary Army led by Shi Dakai and other generals to return to King Qin and guard Tianjing City.

Naturally, there is no way to talk about the abandonment of the city.

In this way, it can be regarded as a disguised relief for the siege of Lingxi City.

In addition, there is another factor, that is, Yang Xiuqing.

Although Ouyang Shuo has already buried chess pieces beside Yang Xiuqing. But in order to play a role, at least you have to wait until Yang Xiuqing arrives in Tianjing City before you can act.

Therefore, in any case, the two armies could not advance lightly.

Bai Qi and Han Xin, after all, are just military generals, and they are not very clear about these secret plans, so they are puzzled by Ouyang Shuo's military orders.

For the sake of artillery, Ouyang Shuo can be regarded as well-intentioned.

He only hopes now that the two major intelligence agencies will not let him down.
