Chapter 44: Marshal Ye promotes the three armies of horses and stomp

"Report! The military situation of six hundred miles is urgent."

Ye Zhao was talking to Li Hongzhang in the flower hall. He just led Li Hongzhang to meet Concubine Lan and the matter of the governor of Jiangxi was settled. Concubine Lan didn't say much. He asked Li Hongzhang about his experience in helping with military affairs in Suzhou Daying, and then talked a few more about family matters, and asked Li Hongzhang to withdraw.

When Ye Zhao was left alone, Concubine Lan said, "The scholar is a little more energetic."

Ye Zhao knew that in Jiangxi, the first time he fought for power with the Six Kings, if the person he used could not stand on the same front as Guangzhou, he would be a wedding dress for others in the end. However, when he saw Li Hongzhang's elegance, Concubine Lan was not relieved.

When he returned to the General's Mansion and spoke to Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang also declined quite politely: "Students are afraid that it will be difficult to take this position." Obviously, although Li Hongzhang had not experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, he could see clearly the situation before him. The Empress Dowager's promotion to the Governor of Jiangxi was not justified, and he stood opposite to the emperor in the capital.

Ye Zhao persuaded him a few words, but Li Hongzhang just refused. He might be grateful for Ye Zhao's kindness of knowing his favor, but he was cautious by nature and obviously did not want to intervene in the cruel royal power struggle. As a small pawn crossing the river, he was afraid of a miserable ending with his body and head sooner or later.

Listening to Ye Zhao's advice, Li Hongzhang sighed: "The students are unforgettable to remember their kindness. The students are not talented and knowledgeable, and are afraid that they will be difficult to take great responsibility. The students are willing to give advice to the grandfather in the shogunate for life. This is the intention to treat the sun and the moon!"

Ye Zhao was about to say something again, a messenger entered the hall under the guidance of the guards and said tremblingly: "Mr. Master! The military situation is urgent!" He knelt down on one knee, raised his hands high, and there was a red paint seal in his hand, painted in three feathers. This was the sign of the military situation of the Guangdong Army.

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, raised his hand to take it, opened the letter and looked at it, and immediately felt like he was struck by lightning. Zhang Qian's army was buried in the Luhuagang of Ji'an Prefecture, and the Youjiang Camp was almost wiped out. Zhang Qian died in his country. The enemy sent a bandit Chen Yucheng, showing off his power, and wrote a likable poem, "The heavenly soldiers descended to the mortal world, Jing Xiang looked at the wind, kill your arms first, and take your head for a moment."

Li Hongzhang suddenly saw that the Duke of the State changed his face. Because it was military information, he wanted to ask but couldn't ask.

Ye Zhao had already thrown the white paper stained with bloody handprints over and said in a deep voice: "How can Jianfu hide his selfishness? Is the blood of thousands of soldiers of the Guangdong army not as good as your life?"

Li Hongzhang took it and was immediately covered in cold sweat. Ye Zhao scolded him. When he saw this book again, he felt ashamed, and was frightened, but he couldn't help but burst into his heart. He stood up and said, "Students are ashamed! Students are pedantic scholars, Ming Gong is a wise scholar, and they should be the one who is willing to serve their fate, but they look forward to the front and back, and they are ashamed of Ming Gong. Liexian is loyal in front and Ming Gong shouts behind. Dare students dare to wake up even if they dream? From now on, they are willing to be fooled to report the public official's encounter!"

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and shouted: "Tell everyone to discuss matters in the lobby!" He stood up and strode out.

...

Ganzhou Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture.

Ye Zhao sat in the hall, and under the hall, Guangdong generals gathered in a large number of stars, and were lined up on the left and right.

Gang'an, Shenbao, Harichi, Han Jinchun, Liu Quxiang, Zhao Sanbao, Wang Youren, Li Dali and other powerful generals all arrived. The Ganzhou camp gathered more than 10,000 people from the Guangdong Green Camp, the seventh Rifle Battalion, the cavalry team, the bird gun team, the gun lifting team, the swordsman, the spearmen, the archers, the artillery team, and the chief husband team, with a total of more than 16,000 brave men.

Just received the news that in order to commend Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng's success, Li Xiu became the King of Zhong and Chen Yucheng's King of Ying, Jiangxi's bandits are very morale, and the two kings of Zhongying shine in Jiangxi. Chen Yucheng's breaks the Youjiang Camp and shakes the capital of the Guangzhou Prefecture. Li Xiucheng defeated the Hunan Army's green camp a few days ago, and he defeated ten thousand elite troops in various regiment camps in Linjiang Prefecture, and was arrogant.

The main force of Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army was constrained by the wing king Shi Dakai on the battlefield in Hubei and was struggling.

As soon as he got out of the line, he bowed and said, "Mr., recently, there have been many foreign guns from the bandits' troops coming in from Shanghai. I am humble and stupid. I can take Ma Dayong to lead the Guangdong navy to strictly investigate the merchant ships and cut off the source."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "I have already done it with Ma Dayong." He said, "The bandits occupy Ji'an and Linjiang's two palaces, who will go to the city first?" Chen Yucheng stationed troops in Ji'an, and Li Xiucheng stationed troops in Linjiang, all of whom were elite bandits.

Liu Quxiang stepped out and said, "Master General, Ji'an is close and far away from the river. He is far away from the near, and seeks far away. What's the taboo of military strategists. Moreover, Chen Yucheng, general Zhang, slaughtered his corpses in the wilderness and slaughtered prisoners. It is our irreconcilable enemy. He asked the commander to be the vanguard, beheaded and captured Chen Yucheng, and beheaded as Brother Zhang, and make a surprise for the Youjiang Camp!"

Thinking of Zhang Qian's death and being chopped into pieces of meat, and thinking of the captured soldiers of Youjiang Camp who were harsh and heart-wrenching, all the generals' blood churned, and their teeth were chewed.

Ye Zhao's face also became gloomy and said word by word: "If you hurt my hands and feet, I will repay you ten times!"

Li Hongzhang, who was standing beside Ye Zhao, shivered, and felt that the young powerful, who was usually acquainted, was sitting in the central army tent, as if he had changed his own person. At this moment, it was even more like the arrival of Yama. As he spoke, a sinister aura came to his face.

Harichi reported from the list: "The general personally conquered the bandits. If Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng were not wiped out all the troops in Jiangxi, how could the general be the powerful? How could the army increase the spirit of our Guangdong army? I thought that I could go north and attack Linjiang Prefecture with all my might. I asked Ji's name and various troops to attack Fuzhou bravely. If Li Xiucheng defeated Li Xiucheng, he would attack Ji'an from north to south. In this way, Chen Yucheng's troops could not escape. If he slowly planned from south to north, he would be afraid that Chen and Li would flee east and join the bandits in Anhui and Zhejiang, and the thieves would become more rampant."

Ye Zhao nodded repeatedly, "Harric's words are right, just in my opinion. Each battalion sent orders to order people and go north to Linjiang."

"Zhe!" The generals agreed in unison.

Although some people think that the general's move is a risky move, the general's plan has been made in recent years, so he can only mutter to himself, but dare not say it out loud.

...

"Hmph, a arrogant soldier will be defeated. Jing Xiang is arrogant and he will be destroyed!"

The meeting hall of the King Ying Mansion of Ji'an is simple and simple, with only one table and several chairs. Behind the table, a young man in his twenties sat upright, with his sword-eyed eyebrows and starry eyes, and a long scar on his right face added a bit of hideous and fierce spirit to him.

The King of England joined the Taiping Scouts at the age of fourteen. The Yin Guns were the number one in Taiping. He was seventeen when he defeated Wuchang in the west. The Qing army relied on the city to the deep and deep moat to resist for several days. The Taiping Army suffered heavy losses. He led a 500-bit player to the city and fought hard, which made the Qing army scared. The Taiping Army then defeated Wuchang and captured Anhui Province.

The British King's army was as brave as it was, and the babies dared not cry at night when they passed by the prefectures. The gentry and people in Anhui and Zhejiang hated them to the core. When they heard that Chen Jian came, "The people supported the elderly and the young, and fled day and night."

The King of England was brave enough to attack the city and trap the village. He was also good at building a base and siege, plagiarizing the back road, and returning the horse and rifle when he was withdrawing the team. In addition, a silver spear shocked the Liangjiang River, so there was a beautiful proverb called "The Thirty-seven Detection Points and Return the Horse and Rifle".

At this moment, King Ying finished reading Chinese Astronomy and regarded himself as a turtle in the jar, and was so arrogant that he was extremely arrogant.

But after a moment, he slowly calmed down and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated. The destruction of the entire Youjiang Camp under Jingxiang was a lesson from the past. How could Jingxiang repeat the same mistake? He wanted to find out his intentions.

However, no matter what, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Liang Chengfu's troops were in the mountainous area near Ningdu, southeast of Ganzhou. Jingxiang's troops were in the mountains and did not want to compete with him. They wanted to abandon Ji'an and let Jingxiang's fierce offensive beating. They would fight for a while and wait for an opportunity to attack. Although Jingxiang's troops were sharp in rifles, they were used to the exciting battle between the two armies. They would lose their energy in one go. They would not find their own decisive battle. After a long time, their morale would be depressed. At that time, they would gather troops with King Zhong to give him a fatal blow, let alone he had foreign guns, so would he not have them? In addition, they captured the equipment from the Youjiang Camp, and now they had nearly two thousand foreign guns, but most of them seemed to be less powerful than his Youjiang Camp and had a long range.

Unfortunately, most of the foreign guns in Youjiang Camp were smashed by the soldiers before they were captured, otherwise they would not have tortured them like that.

After defeating the Youjiang Camp, Liang Chengfu should be the first to be awarded the title. This fearless man was shot by Qing demons several times and threw them to the enemy. He led a team of swords to break into the enemy. Most of the captured Qing demon weapons were "robbed" by him, and most of the foreign guns were also equipped with his subordinates, in order to set up an ambush. When Jing Xiang was tired from going north, he attacked Ganzhou, cut off Jing Xiang's grain supplies, and caused a great chaos in his army. When he returned, he and King Zhong gave him a fatal blow.

Nowadays, the original deployment was disrupted by Jing Xiang's arrogance, but no matter what, Liang Chengfu can gather the three armies and go south to Nan'an Prefecture. One is to test Jing Xiang's virtuality and observe his main deployment; the other is to have the right time, Liang Chengfu's troops can even go to Guangdong to disrupt him, making it difficult for Jing Xiang to take care of the beginning and end.

If you put it to death, you will live. This Guangdong looks like a dragon, a cave, but the way of military strategy is virtual and real, which means that Jing Xiang could not imagine that this would be able to achieve miraculous effects.

King Ying thought silently, picked up the brush, pondered, and slowly put the pen...

...

Ningdu Mansion in Jiangxi has long been an empty city, and the shops have been burned to ashes. There are only red scarfs who are still plundering property from door to door on the street.

"Bang", a big man kicked open the wooden door on the street, but saw a four or five-year-old child crying in the house holding his mother's naked body. Then he went up and stabbed him. The young man's tender eyes had not yet understood what the world looked like, so he fell into darkness forever.

A month ago, Liang Chengfu, the most powerful general under the command of King Ying, had led his general Ningdu City to sweep away, but today he made a comeback. Nine out of ten families in the city were empty, and those who could not escape were the elderly, the children, the sick and the disabled.

The two dark doors of the government office were covered with blood marks. Next to the stone lions on the steps, the bodies emitting disgusting odor. The wreckage of the house that had been burned and sporadic fireworks were also on the side of the government office.

Stepping on the rotten corpse, a ferocious man with a red envelope head covered with flesh was paced back and forth. His eyes were full of hostility, and it was chilling to stare at people. He was Liang Chengfu, the number one strong general under Chen Yucheng.

After receiving a letter from the King of England, Liang Chengfu gathered his soldiers and prepared to go south to Nan'an Prefecture. His troops were more than 5,000, which were the main force of the King of England. More than 1,000 of them were equipped with foreign guns. Liang Chengfu's troops were almost equivalent to most of the King of England's families.

They gathered and prepared to go south, but the brothers who had been holding in the mountains for a long time could not help but rush into Ningdu City like wolf cubs. But today's Ningdu City is different from a month ago. It has almost become a dead city. There are no people on the streets. After the previous massacre, the remaining people have already escaped.

Liang Chengfu was walking, feeling uncomfortable. It had been an hour since he saw his subordinates sending the beauty over. Suddenly he kicked the man beside him, and shouted: "Go and find me, just be the girls!"

At this time, in a silk satin shop that had not been lit in the city, the cloth on the shelves in the store had been stolen. Under the counter, a four or five-year-old boy was gradually soaked in tears. "Sister, sister." Seeing that he was about to cry loudly, the wooden door had been broken and the bare door flashed in, but a beautiful little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. The cheongsam covered in mud could not hide her Mingxiu.

She flexibly got under the counter, handed a black steamed bun to the young child, and shrewd, "Eat."

The young child then picked up the steamed bun and ate it. She was also hungry. She licked her lips, but looked elsewhere and whispered: "Nannan, do you remember what your sister said today, and you are not allowed to cry no matter when, do you remember?"

"Yeah." The young boy nodded, took a few bites of the steamed bun, and suddenly handed it over, saying, "Sister, you can eat it too."

"Sister is not hungry." The delicate little girl stuffed the steamed buns back to the child's mouth, "You eat, and see if you eat, your sister will be happy."

"Ao." The young boy nodded obediently.

The delicate little girl looked at her only relative in the world and suddenly felt sad. She leaned over and hugged her younger brother. She couldn't help but she could no longer hold back her tears and slowly flowed down.

"Why didn't you breathe!" Suddenly, two fierce men walked in from the shop one by one, one with red turbans and the other with silk cloth flower turbans.

The little girl trembled and reached out to cover her brother's mouth, her eyes full of fear.

"Just look at you, a cuckold, you can't even have any luck." Hong Tenghuo cursed and kicked the flower Tenghuo.

The flower headscarf was obviously a little afraid of him, and he laughed and said, "This satin is smoother than his mother's face, so it's not white." As he said that, he glanced at the shop and said, "Damn it, evil nature, I have been here in this shop, and the shopkeeper was chopped up with one knife. Isn't this silk here too!"

As he said that, he circled around the house.

The little girl was trembling, holding her younger brother, holding her breath, not daring to move. Through the gaps on the counter, she could see a pair of barefoots covered in mud gradually coming over.

The little girl gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. Dad, mom, where are you? Where are you?

"Hey, you said we can't take care of all the girls when we go back. Don't chop off our heads?" Huateng's footsteps finally stopped.

"Then look for it, as long as you can breathe!" The red turban stood up, "Let's go, take a look upstairs."

The little girl's body stiffened and she could see her and her brother at a glance from the stairs.

"Da" The young man couldn't breathe, and moved, and touched the wooden board on the counter.

"Who?" Huateng pulled out the shiny steel knife in a flash.

The red turban sneered, "Bah, look at your fucking bear, who can you be like, 80% of them are rats!"

Flower headscarf walked towards the counter and replied, "It's not like hearing the movement."

A trace of sadness flashed in the little girl's eyes. It was inevitable that these evil thieves would find out. Although she was young, she knew that life was worse than death when she fell into the hands of the evil thieves. Her mother committed suicide by hitting the wall before being caught. When the evil thieves left, she ran over and the words of her mother were still vivid in her memory.

The little girl wiped her tears and slowly took out a bamboo hairpin from her arms. This was given to her by her mother before she died.

Gently pressed the bamboo hairpin to his throat and looked at his younger brother in his arms with attachment. What should he do in the future?

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The little girl gritted her teeth and was about to run out to lure them away and then commit suicide with a bamboo hairpin. Suddenly, she heard the sound of horns outside.

On the street, the footsteps were immediately chaotic, and the evil thieves ran, but couldn't hear what they were shouting.

"Qi Laowu! What the hell is wrong?" The red turban stood at the door and cursed at a man he knew.

The man kept walking, his face full of panic, shouting: "It's the officers and soldiers, Jing Xiang, and Jing Xiang is all outside the city..." He ran away, but the words behind him drifted away with the wind.

"What's all the fucking Jingxiang? How many Jingxiang are there? Damn!" The red turban cursed, suddenly stunned, his face changed drastically, and he turned around and said, "Damn it, no, Jingxiang is here!"

The flower headscarf shook her body and didn't bother to see if there was a human or a ghost behind the counter. She hurried out with the red headscarf, and the street was in a mess.

"Jing Xiang? Who is it?" The little girl slowly put down the bamboo hairpin. These evil thieves were so afraid of him.

...

At this time, outside Ningdu City, the Guangdong soldiers were like falling from the sky, surrounded Ningdu City from all directions.

Outside the south gate, the flag of Jing Xiangshuai's hand-in-law was raised, and Ye Zhao jumped over to show his power, pointing to the city wall from afar.

This is Ye Zhao's plan to confuse his troops. He drove all of them and seemed to attack Linjiang, but in fact the target was the bandit Liang Chengfu. How much does Ye Zhao attach to intelligence war? He accidentally discovered Liang Chengfu's movements and was determined to kill him in the black mountain and white water.
