Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Three
However, as the saying goes, unexpected events that the plan cannot keep up with the changes followed; soon there were urgent news from the north, and more than one source came one after another in almost no particular order.
Among them are letters from the cheap mother-in-law, Empress Cao, as well as private messages from the old Taiping Army friend Zhao Zhang and his spokesperson Liu Tang, as well as verbal messages from the ambassador of the Zhumen and the young Yin Mengqi of Jingzhao.
"When King Huang went to court to discuss matters, he fell ill. No one could decide on this matter, so he could only leave it aside for the time being?"
Zhou Huaian said in surprise, and then he continued to watch.
"Meng Juehai, the governor of Tongzhou, has retreated to Lantian Pass, and has given up Shangluo County to the north of Shangluo Road. He is a good method and plan to use retreat as an advance to get rid of the burden."
"Then will the order Zhao Yingong's troops in front continue to march?"
Li Shaoquan, the head of the staff team on duty, immediately asked for instructions.
"Of course, I will continue to move forward, take down all the surrounding Luonan and Fengyang, and then move the main goods and population to Shangluo County to build it into a forward base on the spot."
Zhou Huaian made a quick decision.
Then, he emphasized loudly at the high-level special meeting convened by the Grand Governor's Office:
"Since King Huang is unhealthy, we must also make plans for the worst possible situation... Once there is a major change in the rebel army within the pass, we are afraid of being caught off guard. So we must first actually support those factions that have always been kind to our army and gain a foothold in the subsequent situation."
"But if you use this as a reason to provoke a military force and take the initiative to attack the inside, it will only hurt the enemy and the relatives, and the court that will survive in vain, or the northern vassal states on both ends of the rat will be free to get the bargain."
Then Zhou Huaian tried hard to make a lot of effort on the big map.
"So this time, we're ready to defend the west and go east."
"Eastly!!!"
The generals and subordinates present also had different expressions and buzzed in an uproar.
"Although the overall opportunity and situation are not yet fully mature, it is no longer time to wait; now Jinghu and Shannan are pacified one after another, and the neighboring Jiannan is just as the civil strife in Sanchuan is not over and there is no time to take care of it, so it is rare that there is no worries on the western front."
"However, once chaos and disputes in the north arise, we will never be able to clear the surrounding areas and connect the rear side and back. The government forces in Huainan are still there, and the Yangtze River is a trench, so there is no need to touch him."
"But the three routes of the Yangtze River and Zhejiang Province are still chaotic, and there are many separatist areas. They can advance troops from Jiangxi and the ridges to work together to harvest the previous wave. The initial goal is to focus on occupying and controlling the ports and cities along the southeast coast to serve as sea and land transportation nodes; to search for the population, vehicles, ships, livestock and horses along the way."
"Even if other inland areas cannot be directly occupied, they must be destroyed and destroyed, or support relatively friendly new forces, making them unable to restrain and harass the Taiping Army within three to five years."
"Therefore, there are not necessarily many soldiers and horses that need to be used, but they must be capable and experienced; in addition to the essential naval and boat masters, it is also the turn of the firearms division that practices the new tactics, which will be officially in handy."
Zhu Cun, Chai Ping, Cao Shixiong, Zhang Juyan, Wang Chongba, Liu Liumao and other generals present couldn't help but look at each other with complex expressions and eyes, and they all showed a look of eagerness to try.
After all, since the Taiping Army entered the mode of consolidating and clearing the local recuperation, there has been few large-scale wars to fight. Even some local border conflicts do not need to worry about their level or level, and it is often enough to pacify and resolve them.
Although it is not a good thing for a new regime that is striving to develop without war; even if they have not heard of war, they have their own careers and tasks in their daily lives, which cannot be said to be fulfilling or have authority.
However, as a warrior, the natural desire to establish a reputation and pursue achievements is still indelible in the stable and busy daily life. Especially in the case of a general age structure of the upper class of the Taiping Army, in its prime.
——I am the dividing line—
The incident that happened in Chang'an City was so difficult to cover up and everyone was concerned about it, the wind quickly spread throughout Guanzhong, and most of the rebels and their related forces in Guanxi were on the territory of most of the rebels in Guanxi.
"The Lord is sick?...Who is the court in charge of the situation now?"
Zhu Laosan, who was having a good fat year in Huazhou City, was lying around the fire to welcome the spring. While eating skewers, couldn't help but touch the corner of his mouth full of oil stains and asked in surprise:
"It was the five ministers who were in charge of the front of General Shang, but there was no constitution or resolution yet... and according to the news sent by the Ministry of Works of Shang (Confucianism) of the Inner Court,"
Li Zhen, the secretary in charge of Chang'an's contacts, hurriedly said.
"Since the news of the collapse of the Sanguan Camp on Southwest Road was announced; the defense of Meng (Juehai) in Tongzhou has stopped at the foot of Taibai Mountain at the intersection of Chencang and Meixian County, and joined forces with General Ji (Kui) to gather the collapsed soldiers nearby."
"The Fangzhou camp, which was originally under the rebel Huang Hao on the North Road, was also attacking and killing each other under the city of Fangzhou and was out of control; the old commander Gai was leading his troops to pacify..."
"Only the Fengtian camp on the west road is still intact, and General Peng (Zan) is in charge, but the people are already shaken and the army wants to retreat... Fei Shumi intends to send the imperial city inspection envoy, General Zuo Jinwubai (Rising) to lead the troops in the capital to respond;"
"However, General Bai refused to accept the preservation of the imperial city because it was not the order of King Huang. So Zheng (Hanzhang) Xiantai suggested that troops could be transferred from the Kanto to support him; the Duji Road should be given priority."
"Kanto troops dispatched?..."
Zhu Laosan, who was holding a bunch of honey-stained golden peaches, stopped and said, and the generals who were blooming and chewing heavily were also silent, leaving only the sound of burning charcoal fire in the furnace.
Although there are several left-behind soldiers and horses located in Duji Province, the strongest and most complete armored and machine-making are undoubtedly their northern defense envoys in Duji (Dongdu), which had Heyang Nanguan as its original garrison, now the southeastern army under Duyuhou's command.
You should know that these brothers in the army finally managed to capture a piece of land near Duji Province and gained a foothold; they also reached a triangular alliance of hidden mutual assistance with Cao Xiang, the Tianping Army and Zhuge Shuang, the Heyang Army.
With the mutual exchanges between Luyang Pass and Wenchengzha and Shannan, Guanzhong made many profits of transit transactions. Just when he was unable to stop, why was he willing to give up everything in front of him easily and run to the pass to fight hard again?
If the Emperor Huang of the Great Qi Dynasty had a strong command and prestige, they might not dare to criticize and condone their conscience; but this was just the discussion of the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall, which made people unable to convince from the bottom of their hearts.
"What kind of shit is this...?"
Li Si'an, the newly resigned head of the Tabaidu, passed by Bianzhou, immediately shouted indignantly. Someone immediately responded and shouted one after another:
"Go to the fucking church to discuss..."
"These nobles are really not used as humans."
"Can't it be possible that the soldiers and horses in the pass should cherish their lives and the soldiers in Guandong will sacrifice their lives?"
"Shut up... This matter is something we can criticize."
Zhu Laosan immediately scolded and interrupted with a look of discomfort. 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 great thought:
"After just two days of peace, I forgot the foundation of being a rebel army, and I forgot that we are still soldiers under the Xin Dynasty of Daqi; if everyone cannot work together to protect Daqi and the emperor's orders and dignity; then who can respect and value a mere grass-roots man? "
At this time, the courier's emergency notification came from the outside.
"Reported that Zhengzhou has changed, Liu Jianfeng, the defense envoy in the east of the capital, was lured and buried by the Sunset Tower by the military supervisor Lu Wenjing; his generals under him have attacked each other in the city since then and killed and plundered...
"Fe Zhensheng, deputy envoy of Luodu, has sent troops nearby to attack, and has sent people to defend from all directions, conduct troops and horses to jointly quell the Zhengzhou incident..."
——I am the dividing line—
In Dasan Pass, at the northern end of Fengzhou, the garrison army that had just captured a large number of supplies from the thieves outside the pass, was also filled with a certain atmosphere of happiness and excitement.
"Okay...good...good...it's so tight...Isn't this evidence of my fate? Tang Ziyuan?"
The flying dragon envoy with a pale face and a ill face, Yang Fuguang, the sixth army twelve guards guards, was also loudly praising Huang Hao and others who were lying in front of him, and smiled at the left and right.
"Although you are a relative of yellow and negative, you can abandon darkness and turn to light in time, which is not a feat or righteous act that is spread throughout the world. Naturally, you will definitely have a great wealth that is sufficient to match."
"The timely leader of Xiao Huang's timeliness was not a single kill, but it destroyed at least one of the thieves and shook the other two thieves. Such great achievements were not to mention a mere guardian (defense envoy) or a commander (observation envoy), even a chief arch (gestor) was enough to pay for it."
On the side was Yang Fugong, the Left Privy Councilor who was so sexy that he was not talking, and he also followed the situation and said:
"It's so good. I have heard that the Tianxiong Army (Qin, Cheng, and the Jiedushi of the Three Prefectures) is still missing, and the Liangzhou (Jiedushi) envoy Zheng Shangshu is old and about to die, so he may choose to receive it."
Yang Fuguang also heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning immediately said with slight sing:
"The eldest brother and the monk jointly recommended this matter, and the deputy envoy of Zheng Gong, was the only one who missed the Holy Lord, and the sacred master, was announced by the holy master. Before that, we must not be too slow to be a person who has made meritorious people. First, we will be appointed as the General of Right Dragon Martial Arts with a separate imperial edict, and temporarily lead the Jin Shang to observe how the envoy is...
"I am really grateful to you for your kind words from the nobles in the country, thank you for your kind words."
Hearing this, Huang Hao's heart was settled and he relaxed a little, and he felt moved and moved. You should know that he told these trusted officials who had followed him for many years to follow him, but he had repeatedly emphasized and promised the deeds of Zhuge Shuang and others.
Although Zhuge Shuang is now convinced by the old uncle's banner, no matter where he belongs, he acts as a hero and his own authority as a commander of peace and security, and has never wavered from beginning to end. As the saying goes: This is true man.
Over the years, he has also seen that the so-called righteousness, status, kinship and other things in this world, no matter how much they say and do, they are still not as good as the knife in their hands and the territory they can seek;
The monk who was not famous in Guangzhou followed Huang Wang and took a huge advantage. He turned around to drive away Meng Kai, who had been overwhelmed. After the situation was so great, even Huang Wang, who had disliked and disliked him, had to win 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, he will always be able to take back what he loves, and even make those who despise and treat them at a price.
