Chapter 346: Ice and Fire

Wu Shixiong was killed, and the biggest threat on the front of Changyang County was instantly dissipated, and there was a jubilation in Jiaodong City. According to the original plan, the middle lane would be the most difficult battle, and the most likely chance of victory was to wait for the right wing to lead the main force of the Shuntian Army to revolve after the victory of Wu Ling. The tactical expectation of left and right attacks was completely unnecessary. Now, the right wing Molo is still fighting Wu Ling in the mountains.

Wu Ling, who is good at mountain combat, has fully utilized his strengths. Until now, the news has only caused Wu Ling's troops to be slightly defeated, and it has far failed to lose the opponent's combat effectiveness and confidence.

However, the victory in the middle will inevitably make Wu Ling, on the right wing, no longer have the courage to fight, and next, Molo's troops will inevitably be out of power.

"General, will you chase after me?" Cheng Wenjie asked excitedly.

"No need, don't chase the enemy. The rebels first lost Wu Xin, and now there is no Wu Shixiong, and only Wu Ling is left. It is difficult to support the overall situation. There is no logistics, no supplies, or even territory. There is no need for us to fight. They will inevitably collapse next, which is no longer worth worrying. What we have to do next is to make all preparations immediately and face the fierce battle with the Taiping Army. That is our real test." Jiang Tao was in a good mood. A war that should have been stalemate was due to Wu Shixiong's stupid move, which easily won a great victory. The situation of the war was reversed, which won Changyang County more time.

"After the middle lane is broken, will the general of the last to lead his troops to help King Shuntian destroy another main force of the Wu army as soon as possible?" Wu Shifang interrupted.

"No, you are still stationed in Jiaodong City. Wenjie and I led our subordinates to Pingdu. The area where Wuling fought against Shuntian King was special, and almost all of them were mountainous. Wuling is an expert in this field. If we increase our troops, it will only make Wuling unable to retreat and hike in the mountains to fight guerrillas with us. And where Shuntian King is, it is enough to make Wuling difficult to advance. Our current task is to quickly defeat Lu Yifan in Pingdu, three rebels, and the other one will naturally retreat." Jiang Tao shook his head and said, "And compared to Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan is much easier to deal with than Wuling."

"General is right!" Wu Shifang nodded repeatedly, "But the Taiping Army is coming soon!"

Looking at Wu Shifang with a heavy face, Jiang Tao smiled, "What we need now is persistence. The second reinforcement army of Dachu has embarked on the road. At most one month, they will land in Baoqing. The second batch of reinforcements will be as high as 5,000. At that time, no matter who comes, we will let them taste what failure is!"

"Five thousand reinforcements?" Wu Shifang's expression looked very strange. It is good that reinforcements come, but if there are another five thousand Chu troops, is Changyang County still from Shuntian Army?

As if seeing through Wu Shifang's thoughts, Jiang Tao stood up and smiled and patted Wu Shifang on the shoulder, "General Wu, you should have a better eye-catching vision. There are some things you don't have to think too much about, just let it go. You are a very talented and promising general in the Shuntian Army. I am optimistic about you. As long as you do it well, your future will be limitless."

Wu Shifang was both happy and worried, and Jiang Tao's words contained more meanings.

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

"Don't worry, General, who dares to disturb the general, I will definitely be rude to him." Jia Xin said with a smile. He killed the rebel general Wu Shixiong with an assassination, and Jia Xin was in a very good mood.

"By the way, Wu Xin's coffin must not be humiliated and placed easily. This is a talent, a pity. If it weren't for this incident, if he was guarding Yinshan, it would be extremely difficult for the Taiping Army to invade Changyang County. What a pity that death is unclear, and it also makes us struggling now. Alas, the world is harder than this." Jiang Tao took a few steps, suddenly turned around and looked at everyone and said.

After hearing this, all the officers Shuntian in the room lowered their heads, especially Wu Shifang, who felt even more complicated. Most of the officers like them were trained by Wu Xin. Wu Shifang was one of the best among the first batch of training. Now he is in a high position and is thinking about his source of water. He 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 important now?" Jiang Tao shook his head and walked away with a little discouraged look. The Chu people didn't want Wu Xin to take over the power because he was a sensible person, but he didn't want him to die, because Wu Xin's existence was an indispensable factor in the stability of the Shuntian Army.

But now, the great situation is in trouble because of Wu Xin, which forces the Chu people to show up in advance with the Taiping Army.

Several braziers were burned in the house, which was as warm as spring. The hard work during this period made Jiang Tao exhausted, but the beauty of the ending still made him feel happy. He climbed onto the bed, and in just a moment, he fell asleep soundly.

He had a good dream, dreaming that on the second battlefield, the Chu people once again built a powerful army, launched a fierce attack on them from the rear of the Qi people, attacked them from the eastern border troops of the Great Chu, defeated the Qi army, and the two sides met at the city of Chang'an.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Cheng Wuben resigned, Jiang Tao had to leave sadly. For him, he was extremely unwilling to accept it. It was like he finally raised a baby in a cradle with great difficulty, and raised it as white and fat as a cow. Finally, someone came and snatched his child away easily. This feeling made Jiang Tao feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now, God has given him a second chance. He is determined to do a good job and let the young new emperor in the capital take a look at who is the Great Wall of the country that he should rely on. Is it Luo Liang? It must not.

If Wu Xin hadn't had this kind of thing, just give him another year, what Taiping Army? They are just some ants, but now, he can only look forward to the reinforcements still on the sea and arrive as soon as possible. It is unlikely to defeat the Taiping Army with just the current strength.

After judging the Taiping Army's several battles, Jiang Tao was extremely vigilant against this enemy. It was obvious that his opponent was not a senior general of the Shuntian Army, but most of them were from the grassroots.

Jiang Tao's wish to wake up naturally was not realized. In the early morning, he was shaken by someone. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Jia Xin's obviously panicked expression at the first time.

He sat up suddenly. He knew very well who Jia Xin was. What could make Jia Xin panic must have happened.

"General, Pingdu is lost, and Pingdu's nearly Wanshuntian army is gone. Lu Yifan has captured Pingdu, and his vanguard has occupied Shuibuya." Jia Xin said in a hurry.

What does it mean to the Shuntian Army if they lose Pingdu and let their opponent occupy Shuibuya? It means that a sharp sword spear was inserted into them by the opponent on the passage they contacted Changyang County City.

Jiang Yuan's face turned pale in an instant. The great situation he had just defeated Wu Shixiong disappeared in an instant. No, it was even worse.

"Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan!" Jiang Tao read this name and slowly got out of bed. After the initial shock, he calmed down. As someone who had seen the big scene, he knew very well that panic could not solve any problem.

"Specific news!" he asked while kneading his face.

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

"Where is Bohua?"

Jia Xin shook his head.

The two strode towards the front hall. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wu Shifang's expression as if she was lost.

"General, it's the Taiping Army, the Taiping Army!" Wu Shifang clenched his fists tightly and made a princess voice. "The Taiping Army is mixed in Lu Yifan's army. According to the descriptions of these people, I am afraid that the commander of the Taiping Army is their supreme leader Li Feng."

Jiang Tao shook his body, and the thing he was most worried about was still happening. The Taiping Army must have participated in the Wu Xin incident, and the participation was very deep. Maybe they did this. 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 above Mo Luo's unique mental method, so that Wu Shixiong and Wu Xin's old subordinates admitted that Mo Luo killed Wu Xin.

The Taiping Army appeared in Pingdu and Shuibuya, which means that the distance between the Taiping Army's Tiger Camp and them as previously estimated was not as he imagined. Or the next moment, they would appear in front of themselves.

"Wenjie!" He shouted sternly: "Send your best scout immediately to inquire in the direction of Yinshan Mengshan, and be sure to find the whereabouts of the Taiping Army Tiger Camp."

Cheng Wenjie nodded, turned around and left quickly. The atmosphere in the room was particularly solemn, and the festiveness during the day was gone.

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

"General Bao is going to find the king." A general said with a trembling voice. "General Bao led his troops to attack Lu Yifan's camp at night in Pingdu. At first everything went well, but later, somehow, another enemy army appeared. We were defeated. Looking back, Pingdu City had been seized by a Taiping Army."

"Look for Moluo!" Jiang Tao smiled sinisterly: "It's useless to make such a big mistake even if you find the king of heaven. Why didn't you follow him to find Moluo?"

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

"Where is Ma Zheren?"

The general hesitated for a moment, "There was chaos at that time, and I was a little far away. Seeing that General Ma Zhe seemed to be stabbed by General Bao with a knife, I was frightened and did not dare to follow General Bao to find the king, so I had to run to Jiaodong."
