However, the so-called accidents that the plan could not keep up with the changes came one after another; soon there was urgent news from the north, and more than one source came almost indiscriminately.
Among them are the family letters of the cheap mother-in-law, Empress Cao, the private messages of Zhao Zhang, an old friend of the Taiping Army, and his spokesperson Liu Tang, and even the oral messages from the ambassador of the various guards and Jing Zhaoshao Yin Mengqi.
"Dream Huang fell ill of breath while discussing matters. No one can call the shots and can only put it aside for the time being?"
Zhou Huaian said in surprise, and then he continued to watch.
"The guardian of the same state, Meng Juehai, has already retreated to Lantian Pass and surrendered the Shangluo and Shangluo counties north of Shangluo Road? It's a good means and calculation to retreat as a way to get rid of the burden..."
"Will it be told that Zhao Yingong in the front will continue to march forward?"
Li Shaoquan, the head of the staff on duty next to him, immediately asked for instructions.
"Of course, continue to move forward. Take down the neighboring Luonan and Fengyang for me, and then move the main property and population to Shangluo County.. Build it into a forward base on site...
Zhou Huaian made a decisive decision.
Later, at the special high-level meeting convened by the Metropolitan Government again, he loudly emphasized:
"Since King Huang is not hesitating, we have to prepare for the worst possible possibility. Once the rebels in the Guannei army changes drastically, we are afraid of being caught off guard here. So we must first actually support those who have always been kind to our army. The faction of, is the one who gains a firm foothold in the subsequent situation"
"But if you take the initiative to attack the pass on this basis, if you take the initiative to attack the gate, it will only make the enemies feel painful, and it will save the lingering court, or the Northland towns on both ends of the first mouse. "
Then Zhou Huai'an put a lot of effort on the big map.
"So this time, we are ready to defend from the west to the east..."
"Dongjin!!!"
The generals, subordinates, and staff present also buzzed with different expressions.
"Although the overall timing and situation are not yet fully mature, the time is no longer for me; now the territory of Jinghu and Shannan has been calmed down one after another, and the neighboring Jiannan is due to the Sanchuan civil strife, and there is no time for him to take care of it.
"However, once the great turmoil in the Northland ends, I am afraid that we will never have the opportunity to clean up the surroundings and connect the sides and rears into one piece... Huainan's official forces are still there, and there is the Yangtze River as a trench, so we don’t need to move him for the time being. ."
"On the contrary, the three roads of Jiangdong, Liangzhe, and Xuanshe are still chaotic, and there are many separate regimes. It happens to be able to advance from Jiangxi and Lingwai, and work together to harvest the last wave. The most preliminary goal is to focus on occupying and controlling the port city of the southeast coast. Sea-land transfer node; collect the population, vehicles, ships, horses and other resources along the way."
"Even if other inland areas cannot be directly occupied, they must be destroyed and maimed, or new relatively friendly forces will be supported, so that within three to five years, they will be unable to become a hidden danger to contain and harass the Taiping Army. "
"Therefore, the soldiers and horses that need to be used do not have to be many, but they must be capable and experienced; in addition to the indispensable navy navy division, this time it is also the turn of the firearm division to practice the new style of warfare. Up."
Zhu Cun, Chai Ping, Cao Shixiong, Zhang Juyan, Wang Chongba, Liu Liumao and other generals who were present at the scene couldn't help but look at each other with complicated expressions and eyes, and they all showed eager expressions.
After all, since the Taiping Army shifted to the mode of consolidating and purging local recuperation, there have been few large-scale wars to fight anymore. Even in some local border conflicts, there is no need to bother them at their level and level. It is enough to calm down and solve it.
Although for a new regime that is struggling to develop, it is not a good thing that there is no war to fight; and they have their own careers and tasks in their daily lives even if they are unheard of wars. It can not be said that they are not sufficient or have authority in their hands.
But as a warrior, the natural desire to build a reputation and pursue a record is still indelible in a stable and busy daily life. Especially in the general age structure of the upper echelons of the Taiping Army, when they are in the prime of life.
—I am the dividing line —
What happened in Chang'an City, when the parties were unable to cover up and had their own thoughts, quickly spread to Guanzhong, Kansai, and most of the rebels and related forces.
"The saint fell ill?... Then who is the court presiding over the situation now."
After a good fat year in Huazhou City, and celebrating the Spring Festival with the other members, Zhu Laosan, who was eating skewers and drinking, couldn't help touching the corners of his greasy mouth and asked in surprise:
"It's the five-phase consensus in front of Mr. Shang, but so far there is no constitution or resolution. According to the news sent by the Ministry of Industry (Shangshu) of Nei Ting Shang (Confucianism),"
Li Zhen, the secretary in charge of liaison with Chang'an, said hurriedly.
"Since the news of the collapse of Sanguan Camp on Southwest Road came out; Tongzhou Meng (Jiehai) defense has stopped at the foot of Taibai Mountain at the junction of Chencang and Meixian, and joined forces with General Ji (Kui). Gather the collapsed soldiers nearby"
"And the Fangzhou Camp, which was originally controlled by the rebel Huang Hao on the North Road, also attacked and killed each other under the city of Fangzhou and was in chaos; Gai Laodu is all rushing to calm down..."
"Only the Fengtian camp on the West Road is still intact, and General Peng (Zan) sits down, but the hearts of the people have been shaken and the army is thinking about retreating... Fei Shumi intends to make the Imperial City Check Envoy, Zuo Jin Wubai (Risheng) The general, led the soldiers in Jibiao to respond;"
"However, General Bai did not accept it because it was not the order of King Huang to supervise the imperial city; therefore, Zheng (Hanzhang) Xiantai suggested that he could transfer troops from the Kanto region as a support; priority should be given to the capital..."
"Kantong transfer troops?..."
Now Zhu Laosan, who was gnawing on a bunch of honey-stained golden peaches, immediately stopped, and the generals who were munching and munching on the flowers, invariably faced the same face and screamed, leaving only the charcoal fire in the nearby furnace. Burning beeping sound.
Although there are several left-behind soldiers and horses located in Duji Road in Daqi County; among them, the strongest and most complete armour is undoubtedly their Duji (East Capital), which is based at Nanguan in Heyang. The defensive agent to the north, now the southeast camp is waiting for the army.
You must know that these brothers in the army, but it was so easy to lay a site near this Dugui Road as a place to settle down; and with the nearby Tianping Army Cao Xiang and Heyang Army Zhuge Shuang, they reached a hidden mutual help. Triangle alliance.
Relying on the reciprocal exchanges between Luyangguan and Wenchengzha and Shannan in the middle, I made several cross-border transactions in the middle; how could I easily give up everything in front of me and go back to the gate when I couldn’t stop. Desperately.
If Huang Wang, the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, gave his orders and accumulated great prestige, they might not dare to criticize and criticize; but this is only the discussion of the few masters in the political affairs hall, which makes people unable to be convinced from the bottom of their hearts. .
"What kind of shit regulations..."
Li Si'an, the new Tabai Dudu who was passing by Bianzhou, yelled unrestrainedly. Suddenly someone responded to shouts one after another:
"Go to his mother's meeting..."
"These nobles are really improper..."
"Could it be possible that the soldiers and horses in the pass must spare their lives and the soldiers of the Kanto area will give up their lives..."
"Shut up... How can this matter be criticized by me..."
Zhu Laosan immediately scolded and interrupted his face unhesitatingly. Then he patrolled the generals present with deep and stern eyes, and no one dared to look at him for a while, and then continued to say with all his heart:
"Is it just two days after my birthday, I forgot that we are the roots of the rebels, and that we are still soldiers and horses under the Daqi New Dynasty? If everyone can’t work together to maintain the integrity, the emperor’s orders and the emperor’s orders Prestige; that is, who is there who can respect and value a grass-headed man in the world?"
At this time, the messenger's hurried announcement came from outside again.
"Report, Zhengzhou has changed. The defense of Duji east made Liu Jianfeng trapped in the sunset building by the supervising army Lu Wenjing. Since then, each of his subordinates will attack the city and kill and plunder..."
"Fei Zhensheng, the left-behind deputy envoy of Luodu, has sent troops to attack nearby, and has spread the word that the four sides defended, marched troops and horses, and coordinated to quell the chaos in Zhengzhou..."
—I am the dividing line —
And in the Dasanguan at the northern end of the mountain (south) west (road) Fengzhou, in a great victory that fell from the sky, the garrisoned officers who had captured a large number of heavy items for the thieves outside the pass were also filled with a certain joy and joy. Exciting atmosphere.
"Good... good... good... really good tight... isn't this proof of my Tang Freedom destiny..."
Yang Fuguang, the flying dragon envoy with a sallow, skinny and sick face, and Yang Fuguang, the sixth army and twelve guards, was also loudly admiring Huang Hao and others who had fallen in front of him, and smiled at the left and right.
"Although Er et al is a close genus of Huang Ni, it is not for a feat and righteous deed to be passed down in time to abandon the shadows in time. Naturally, there is a great wealth that can match."
"The little yellow leader's timely response is not just a single act. It dismantled at least one thief force and shook the other two thief forces. Such a splash of power is not to say that he is the defender (defensive envoy) of the district. Lian Shuai (Observing Envoy) is just a commander (Jing Du Envoy), and it is enough to pay each other."
In the side, there was Yang Fugong, the left censorship envoy who was charming and caressing his jaw, and also said:
"It's so good. I have Wen Tianxiong army (Qin, Cheng, and Tier three states Jiedu envoy) and the town commander is still absent, while Liangzhou (Jedu envoy) made Jun Zheng Shangshu aged and will be old, or I can choose one to accept Of..."
Yang Fuguang also said immediately after hearing the song and knowing the elegance:
"The eldest brother and the miscellaneous jointly recommended this matter, and Zheng Xianggong countersigned it. Then, what was left was only a paper crane announcement by the Holy Lord. Before that, I definitely can't wait for the meritorious person, first say goodbye. The edict gave the general You Longwu General, and temporarily received the gold merchant to observe how to do it..."
"Thanks to the auspicious words of the nobles, I am really grateful to listen..."
Hearing this, a stone in Huang Hao's heart settled and slightly relaxed, showing feelings and emotions. You must know that he told these cronies who have followed him for many years to follow him back, but he has repeatedly emphasized and promised with the deeds of Zhuge Shuang and his like.
Although Zhuge Shuang is now a minister under the banner of that old uncle, no matter where he belongs to, he has the authority to dominate and form a self-contained structure as a commander of the town, but he has never had the authority from beginning to end. Shaken. As the saying goes, this is the case for a big man
Over the years, he has also understood that the so-called justice, status, kinship and other things in this world, no matter how much you say and do, after all, they are still inferior to the knife in your hand and can be given and requested. territory;
The monk who didn’t know anything in Cantonese just picked up the great bargain behind Huang Wang; in turn, he drove away Meng Kai, who had previously overwhelmed him. After the final momentum, he even didn’t like it And Huang Wang, who hates him, must be allowed to win over and appease him with marriage.
As long as he has enough authority and territory, and the other party is still in the world for a day, it is always possible to regain his love, and even the day when those who despise and treat him slowly will pay the price. (End of this chapter)
