"Ahem..."
Yang Xiuqing, who pretended to be dizzy, coughed a few times and then "woke up". She looked exhausted and was frothing at the mouth. She weakly asked, "Why are you kneeling again? Ah, could it be that Heavenly Father has come again?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Chaogui, who had finally pushed out the "fatal" battle of Changsha, was in a good mood. He stood up and nodded, "Fourth brother, just now the Heavenly Father came down and finalized the contract for the little girl. Where heaven is, I have to send my eighth brother to make contributions!"
Yang Xiuqing pretended to ask: "I wonder where the little paradise is?"
"In Jinling City!"
Yang Xiuqing nodded: "Jinling was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with a tiger perched on a dragon's plate, and the city where Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty thrived... I will focus on making Jinling my home from now on!"
"That's, that's..." Xiao Chaogui echoed repeatedly.
Yang Xiuqing asked again: "Then what's the point of sending eighth brother to make contributions?"
Luo Yaoguo laughed and said: "Fourth brother, Lord Qi's heavenly father sent his younger brother to lead three generals and thousands of elite soldiers to attack Changsha, forcing the Hunan admiral Bao Qibao of Yongzhou, the general Hechun, and the prefect Jiang Zhongyuan to lead his troops back to defend so that our army could You can go all the way north along the Xiangjiang River!"
Yang Xiuqing was stunned after hearing Luo Yaoguo's words, thinking: How does he know who the Qingyao guarding Yongzhou is? By the way, he can pinch and calculate! Oh, sending him to attack Changsha won't make Changsha easy, right?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing stood up from Hong Xiuquan's "Heavenly King's Chair" and said with worry: "Changsha is not easy to fight..."
Hong Xiuquan heard what Yang Xiuqing said and quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, yes, yes, Changsha is not easy to fight. Compatriot, if you don't know how to fight, you'd better not take the risk."
"King of Heaven," Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "My little brother is the best at fighting. I am a fighting angel in heaven! Otherwise, Heavenly Father, why would Brother Tian send me down here?"
What? Fighting angels? Hong Xiuquan was stunned and said to himself: Don’t you believe in angels, but the archangel Michael who is the most capable of fighting?
When Yang Xiuqing heard Luo Yaoguo say that she was the best at fighting, she felt relieved again, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that Luo Laoba was lying! He even had Qing Yao knock him out that day, but Su Sanniang still fought to the death. Snatch him back. If he could really fight, would he be so embarrassed?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing said with a smile on her face: "That's great... Heavenly Father said he would send you three generals and thousands of elite soldiers?"
"Exactly." Luo Yaoguo nodded.
"Okay!" Yang Xiuqing said, "Then Brother Yu will send you one, and then ask the King of Heaven to send you another, and you can order one yourself... King of Heaven, what do you think?"
"That's very good!" Hong Xiuquan nodded, "Compatriot, who do you want?"
Luo Yaoguo said: "I want Su Sanniang! Sanniang, come in quickly... Do you want to follow me to kill Qing Yao and break Changsha?"
Su Sanniang was not qualified to enter the house. She was standing in the yard now. When she heard Luo Yaoguo calling her, she quickly agreed, ran all the way into the house, and knelt down beside Luo Yaoguo: "Sanniang is willing to follow His Highness the Angel through fire and water!"
Luo Yaoguo nodded and said with a smile: "With Sanniang helping me, why worry about not being able to defeat Changsha?"
Yang Xiuqing was very dissatisfied with the general selected by Luo Yaoguo. Su Sanniang was indeed capable of fighting, but after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom implemented male-female camps, she led only female soldiers.
The first army in her female camp was all female soldiers. After all, the combat effectiveness of female soldiers was not as good as that of male soldiers... There was a big difference!
"Qingbao, who are you sending to the compatriot?" Hong Xiuquan asked Yang Xiuqing again.
Yang Xiuqing squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then said loudly: "Where is the Yulin guard Chen Chengrong?"
"Chen Chengrong is here!"
A loud male voice sounded, and then a short and sharp middle-aged man with a pair of piercing triangular eyes ran in and knelt down respectfully.
Yang Xiuqing pointed at this short and capable man and said to Luo Yaoguo: "Eighth brother, this man is my confidant. He is resourceful and brave and dares to fight. I will let him lead the elites of the center and right armies to go out with you!"
What a good confidant! Luo Yaoguo thought: He is the backbone of the Tianjing Incident, right? What do you want to do by sending him to me?
"That's great!" Luo Yaoguo smiled and cupped his hands at Yang Xiuqing, "Thank you so much, fourth brother."
At this time, Hong Xiuquan was already sitting on his "Heavenly King's Chair" and carefully observed the expression and demeanor of Luo Yaoguo, who was suspected of being an "archangel" - it seemed that he was sure to win, and it would be superfluous to send him any general.
But Chen Chengrong is very close to Yang Xiuqing now. He might cause trouble, so he needs to send someone who can suppress him...
Thinking of this, Hong Xiuquan then named his eldest brother in the mortal world: "Where is Hong Renfa?"
What? Hong Renfa?
Luo Yaoguo was a little dumbfounded when he heard this name. You Hong Xiuquan can't give Hong Rengan, so you can send Hong Renzheng, but why did you give Hong Renfa? This is worse than Chen Chengrong!
Historically, Xiao Chaogui took three powerful generals, Zeng Shuiyuan, Lin Fengxiang, and Li Kaifang, with him when he attacked Changsha. Now I will lead Hong Renfa, Chen Chengrong, and Su Sanniang?
"Coming, coming..."
When Luo Yaoguo was thinking about whether he should ask "good sister" Hong Xuanjiao to borrow Lin Fengxiang or Li Kaifang, a short fat man who looked like he weighed 1,780 kilograms already came in carrying a robe, huffing and puffing, and ran to Hong Xiuquan came forward, lifted up his robe and knelt down.
Hong Xiuquan pointed at Luo Yaoguo and said to his brother: "Afa, that is the archangel sent by Heavenly Father. He is the best at fighting. Just follow him!"
"Oh, okay, okay." Hong Renfa looked quite honest, and turned to smile at Luo Yaoguo, "Archangel, please take care of me!"
Luo Yaoguo also cupped his hands and smiled broadly: "Brother Guo, you're welcome."
Hong Xiuquan saw that Luo Yaoguo was very polite to his good-for-nothing brother, so he smiled and said to him: "Compatriot, I will ask your third brother to allocate two more divisions to you... plus the two divisions led by Chen Chengrong. , you have the male battalion of the fourth division and the female battalion of the first army available, the total number is almost five thousand!"
At this time, Yang Xiuqing took over Hong Xiuquan's topic: "In addition, the third brother will lead thousands of elite rear troops to set off with you. He is going to attack Daozhou, open a base in southern Hunan, and launch the offensive in southern Hunan and northern Guangdong. Members of the Tiandihui... you can take care of me when you are traveling together on the road."
Then he used the tone of issuing a military order and said to Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo: "Third brother and eighth brother, I will give you five days to prepare. After five days, you will go north along the Xiangjiang River with the army. When you arrive at Lingling City, , then divide the troops with the army and go south to capture Daozhou!
After capturing Daozhou, they once again marched in two groups, one led by the eighth brother, to Guiyang and Chenzhou, and then detoured northward to attack Changsha.
The other one is led by Third Brother and is stationed in Daozhou to develop strength and contain the Qingyao!"
"Got the order!"
Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo both surrendered to Yang Xiuqing and accepted their orders.
Seeing these two men accepting the military order readily, Yang Xiuqing felt a little relieved even though she felt something was wrong.
Feng Yunshan operates territory in the border areas of Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, and will not be able to return to the center of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for a while.
And Luo Yaoguo led his troops to attack Changsha... Regardless of success or failure, he could always force the Qingyao who were blocked in Yongzhou to return, so that the Heavenly Kingdom army could advance all the way north and wait for an opportunity to enter Hubei.
If Luo Yaoguo is really that good at fighting and successfully captures Changsha, then he will have his Heavenly Father show up, grant him the title of King of Xiang, and let Chen Chengrong keep an eye on him...
...
After crossing the coir raincoat to the southwest, Guilin, the capital of Guangxi Province, is more than two hundred miles away.
Half an hour ago, the general soldiers of the Suppression Rebellion and the vanguard Xiao Guaerjia under Master Chunhe. Yuan Bao and a dozen cavalry guards flew straight into Guilin City. Yuan Bao and the cavalry guards guarding him were all in uniform. They were dressed like green camp warriors, covered in stinking sweat, carrying bows and arrows, sabers on their shoulders, and a bit of ancestral chainmail exposed from the cuffs and collars of their uniforms. In the past, anyone with some status would stay away from these big-headed soldiers. Far away? But now, as soon as they enter Guilin, they become the most popular people.
"In Hezong Town, Master Jiang defeated the long-haired bandits in the area of ​​Liyidu outside Quanzhou City!"
Guilin is now a base camp for long-haired victims. Because of the fall of Quanzhou, Mr. Xianfeng in Beijing was furious, and the strict order was rushed to Guilin for 600 miles. The imperial envoy Sai Shang'a was criticized, and the military commander Xiang Rong was dismissed from his post and sent to Xinjiang to serve as atonement. Everyone below Sai Shang'a and Xiang Rong was even more in danger, fearing that there would be another defeat. If Xianfeng Long Yan was angry again, he would cut off several heads to satisfy his hatred!
Even those officials and the gentry in Guilin who are not in a position to have their heads cut off cannot rest easy. Not long ago, the Taiping Army besieged Guilin for thirty-three days! If this were to break, how many of the officials and gentry in this city would survive?
If the Taiping Army defeated He Chun, Jiang Zhongyuan, Yu Wanqing and other troops in Quanzhou, and then turned around and attacked Guilin, they might be defeated in one battle...
So when the news of the victory at Coiyidu came, countless people in Guilin cried with joy!
Among them, the happiest thing was of course that the imperial envoy Saishang Ahe and Xiang Rong had been dismissed from their posts and were packing their things to go to Xinjiang.
