There are two sides to everything in the world, some people are happy, some people are sad, and it is not for nothing that everyone is happy, but it must be based on the same heart in advance.

When the great river network was completed, the heavenly army was all overjoyed, whether it was a high-level or a small soldier, whether it was a human army in the heavenly army, or a variety of animal alliances, of course, the happiest were those aquatic friends.

Even those East China Sea tiger sharks entered the Great River basin from the mouth of the Great River this time.

It turned out that Mai Ke had developed an armor based on their last failure, and these tiger sharks could keep the salt content of their skin unchanged forever after wearing them.

So they can play around in fresh water at will!

From now on, wherever there is water in the world, they can go!

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

The most tragic and unlucky is Li Hui!

Before the large river water network reached Shandong, the heavenly army and the local Qing army there were in full swing, and the tide rose and fell several times.

This Li Hui was the governor of Shandong and the leader of the military operations against the Celestial Army's advance into Susaki and the obstruction of the Celestial Army's opening of the passage into the sea from the Great River.

What is relatively rare is that Li Hui is both civil and military, especially in the arrangement of troops and the strategic use of troops, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

The Celestial Army was the first to send advance troops, and they began to advance along the newly opened new road of the Yellow River, and as soon as they began to fight, they moved unhindered, and soon entered the hinterland of the land of Qilu.

Later, I learned that the reason why it was so easy was that Li Hui used the trick of luring the enemy into the depths.

After waiting for the Celestial Army to be fooled into their encirclement, Li Hui adopted the strategy of encircling but not fighting, and further lured the Celestial Army to come to the rescue.

It was Yang Xiuqing who sent troops to Shandong to rescue.

After learning that the advance troops were surrounded, he personally led the whole army north and entered the land of Qilu, trying to relieve them of the siege in one fell swoop.

I didn't expect this Li Hui to have a huge appetite. In turn, Yang Xiuqing's reinforcements were also included.

In fact, this is exactly the same as Li Hui's plan.

Lin Fengxiang, who was in the Northeast Corps near Shandong, of course, could not sit idly by, so he also dispatched a large army to participate in this military rescue operation.

The local units of the Qing army were combined and quite large.

Li Hui and the Zhili defenders united. Mobilize an army of 800,000, twice as much as the heavenly army, and surround Lin Fengxiang and Yang Xiuqing together!

Most of these troops were the result of Xianfeng's last death order.

Snake 400 began to force Li Hui to collect reinforcements as requested, and the others gathered, but Li Hui persuaded them all to stay, and used these people to deal with Lin Fengxiang and Yang Xiuqing's heavenly army.

His reason was to get the heavenly army that was originally besieging the emperor to the land of Qilu, which was to disperse the pressure of the heavenly army on the emperor. In essence, it is a more effective aid to the emperor.

The advance force of the Eastern Corps of the Celestial Army went up the river from the old road of the Yellow River to the new road of the Yellow River, and then followed it into the land of Qilu.

However, Yang Xiuqing and Lin Fengxiang's reinforcements took a different route, starting from the Central Canal, passing through the four major lakes, namely Weishan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Dushan Lake, and Nanyang Lake, and then passing through the Lu Canal. Finally, it entered the new channel of the Yellow River and joined the advance force in the south of the country.

Reinforcements traveled unhindered along the way. After the two armies converged, the situation suddenly changed, and in a blink of an eye, they were directly surrounded by countless land and water Qing soldiers.

At this point, all the amphibious units of the Celestial Army were blocked, and it was difficult to move an inch.

Right now. They had no choice but to stay on a waterway outside the city of Jinan, waiting for rescue.

After Mai Ke received these news, he immediately contacted the general headquarters presided over by Liuhua and Zhang Yuan, and asked them about their understanding and arrangements for this matter.

Six strokes told Mai Ke. The march to Sugidong was part of the strategic deployment of the General Headquarters, and now it is known that they are besieged and trapped, and they are mobilizing troops to prepare for rapid support.

However, according to the prediction of the six strokes, it is not a big problem for Yang Xiuqing to hold on for ten days.

Mai Ke reviewed the current situation of each unit and their location at a cursory glance, and had already made a decision in his heart.

His plan was to send cavalry to battle, and the land of Qilu was just right for the cavalry army to carry out the operation!

So, Mai Ke sent Luo Shande's 450,000 cavalry plus the cavalry of Hu Yihuang's Northwest Corps, and after completing the encirclement and suppression of the northeast reinforcements, he went straight to the Shandong battlefield without stopping.

The cavalry fought, and sure enough, it was very fast, they didn't stop, they got to the front line in one day, and then they didn't stop and immediately attacked!

Although Li Hui placed many troops to prevent reinforcements, he did not expect that the Heavenly Army would be so desperate and crush all the cavalry! A full 700,000!

After fierce resistance, the defense line arranged by Li Hui collapsed!

Lin Fengxiang and Yang Xiuqing's reinforcements were rescued!

Only the advance force remained surrounded by the enemy.

Hu Yihuang, Yang Xiuqing, Lin Fengxiang, and Luo Shande got together to discuss how to eliminate the remaining Qing army and lift the enemy's encirclement.

At this time, Mai Ke's order came, allowing all the cavalry and most of the two corps to temporarily withdraw from the Shandong battlefield to participate in the convergence and suppression of the western reinforcements.

Everyone immediately changed the theme of the meeting, and decided that the two corps would each leave 100,000 men to contain the enemy, cooperate with the celestial army in the encirclement, buy time, and all the rest of the people would go back.

After the main force was withdrawn, the remaining Celestial Army did everything possible to use illusions to confuse the enemy and delay time.

However, Li Hui quickly saw through the tricks of the Heavenly Army and understood the current situation of the Heavenly Army.

So, he was furious and rejoiced, there are only 200,000 left in the periphery of the Heavenly Army, counting the 100,000 inside, a total of only 300,000, I will definitely let your entire army be wiped out this time!

So, he set out his whole army and completely surrounded the remaining heavenly army!

The encirclement was quickly realized, and the Qing army had a total of 600,000 troops, surrounded the Heavenly Army, and dealt with the 200,000 reinforcements of the Heavenly Army left!

Inside the Celestial Army was the 200,000 Manchu army, who arrived first and surrounded the advance force of the Celestial Army.

In the innermost circle, there is the advance force of the Celestial Army, with a total of 100,000 people.

The general leader of the 100,000-strong Heavenly Army is a fierce general who participated in the Northern Expedition in history, Ji Wenyuan, an old brother of Guangxi.

Ji Wenyuan in history, May of the first year of Xin Kai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. When he was in Xinzhai in Xiangzhou, he was awarded the imperial forest guard.

In November of the second year of Renzi, Ke Hanyang, the deputy guard after the promotion.

On the twelfth, he was promoted to a deputy general.

In February of the third year of Guihao, the army attacked Nanjing, ascended to the right of the sixth command, and Wen Yuan led the crowd to ascend first.

Twenty-three days. He was crowned as the deputy prime minister of Chunguan and patrolled the area along the river near Tianjing.

In March, the king of heaven ordered the Northern Expedition, with Wen Yuan's bravery, and ordered Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to lead the Northern Expedition.

Transferred to several provinces and reached Tianjin.

In every battle, he fell into battle first, and he was meritorious, and he sealed Hu Hou.

In February of the fourth year of Jiayin, the Northern Expeditionary Army retreated to the city. The enemy handsome monks Grinqin and Shengbao chased after and besieged the attached city.

On the 17th, the enemy attacked urgently, Wen Yuan personally commanded, was wounded in the forehead, wrapped in wounds, and unfortunately fell into several arrows in the waist, fell off his horse and died.

is such a heroic figure who died young like a meteor, and today he is entrusted with a great responsibility. first led the leading army, and now leads the entire heavenly army of 300,000 people. Fight against the enemy's army of nearly a million!

This No. 3 person in the Northern Expeditionary Army in history, now driven by the great changes in Mai Ke's history, finally has a chance to show his talents.

He knows that the key now is time! As long as he persists, the final victory will come!

looked at the 200,000 Qing troops inside. While putting pressure on the 100,000 brothers in the center, and at the same time provoking the Twenty Heavens Army outside, Ji Wenyuan was very unhappy!

These people are a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh!

If you want to hold on, it's really uncomfortable to keep them!

So, Ji Wenyuan decided to pull out the thorn!

He sent for contact with the brothers outside. Coincidentally, Zhu Xikun, the person in charge outside, is also a famous general of the Northern Expedition in history!

Zhu Xikunguang is a native of Xibobai County.

Jintian uprising, Bobai County people came to participate in a lot, Xikun was appointed as the commander of the right army, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Xin Kai first year July, promoted a supervising army, led a middle army, repeatedly broke the Qing army.

In the autumn of this year, Ke restored the state of Yong'an in the west, and the enemy came to besiege it.

In October, the Qing Dynasty's minister Sai Shang sent the traitor Zhou Xineng to Yong'an Prefecture to respond to the internal response, and attempted to assassinate the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zhu Ba is Zhu Xikun's uncle. When Yong'an Prefecture was trapped in a very critical situation, Zhou Xineng thought that he could use the relationship between Zhu Ba and Xi Kun's uncle and nephew to incite him, so he secretly went to Xi Kun with Zhu Ba in the dark night, and tried his best to persuade Xi Kun to surrender to the enemy by means of temptation, saying that there was a reward.

When Xikun heard this, he was very angry and said angrily: "I will never do such a thing!"

Drive Zhou Xineng and Zhu Ba away.

The next morning, Xikun was sent to the Water Dou Army to build a book, and he planned to return in the evening and report back.

On this day, Zhou Xineng plotted a rebellion and conspired to solve the case for Yang Xiuqing.

Yang Xiuqing heard this with Xikun, and immediately replied, with a hundred scepters.

And he was in the prison army, and he did not know what was urgent, and he commanded another hundred rods.

When the rebels against Zhou Xineng and the counter-revolutionary Zhu Ba were executed everywhere, Xikun was also shackled to the court to show the public.

He shouted loudly: "Brothers, everyone must wake up, I, Zhu Xibao, rely on the power of my Heavenly Father, otherwise I will be killed by my blood uncle Zhu Ba!

This incident shows the firmness of Zhu Xikun's position.

In September of the second year of Renzi, to Changsha, the soil was promoted to a general system.

In November, Ke Hanyang, the deputy general of the promotion officer.

In December, Ke Jiechang, ascended to the third command from the left.

In February of the third year of the siege of Nanjing, Xi Kun supervised the attack on the big east gate, both grams, the third inspection of the left of the temple, and ordered to guard the big east gate.

In April, the king ordered Xikun and Huang Yiyun to lead the army with Lin Fengxiang on the northern expedition, landed from the auxiliary mouth, strayed into Liuhe County by the wrong way, camped outside the city, at night, the camp was on fire, more than ten gunpowder burst in an instant, the smoke burned in the sky, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and Xikun rushed out of the fire.

Xuan and Fengxiang are the same as advancing towards the Emblem and the South.

On the ninth day of the first month of May, he conquered Guide.

The next day, the Qing army counterattacked, and Xi Kun and Ji Wenyuan led the soldiers to attack, and defeated the Qing army again.

On the 16th, we arrived at Zhuxian Town.

In September of this year, the king of heaven rewarded the generals of the Northern Expedition and was named the Marquis of Hu.

In February, when the Northern Expeditionary Army moved the attached city from Jinghai and Duliu, Xi Kun led the vanguard battalion to garrison outside the city, and the Qing army surrounded the Qing army with horses and steps, attacking from all sides, and all the battalions outside the city were breached.

Now these two are also facing a critical moment, and the idea of "pulling out the thorns" hit it off, and they immediately booked a time to do it together!

When the time came, Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xikun broke out at the same time, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the arrogant enemy was trampled under their feet in an instant!

Before Li Hui could react, the 200,000 Qing troops in the middle had already collapsed!

And their attempt to take the opportunity to break through was also completely shattered by the defense arranged by Li Hui in advance!

On the one hand, Li Hui wanted to rescue the 200,000 horses in the middle, and on the other hand, he also wanted to eat all of this heavenly army, and he also launched a fierce attack on the 200,000 people on the outer line of the heavenly army.

The two top generals of the Heavenly Army, Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xikun, have already met, and now they are further joining hands to withstand all kinds of attacks from the enemy!

Li Hui is indeed a rare talent, and the encirclement of the two is getting tighter and tighter, constantly consuming the living force of the Heavenly Army, making it more and more difficult for the two to hold on!

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the main stream of the renewed Great River rushed to the sky, splitting the encirclement of the Qing army at once, and their encirclement was self-defeating!

And Ji Wenyuan and the others in the encirclement also took up all of them with this fresh river channel and moved to Jinan City, which is a mile away!

This change can be counted in one fell swoop!

The encirclement that Li Hui worked so hard to manage was broken in one fell swoop!

The besieged Heavenly Army has been rescued from a situation where there is almost no way out!

The enemy's well-defended city misses in an instant!

The Manchu army led by Li Hui was stunned and demoralized, and there was nothing to add to it!

The morale of Ji Wenyuan and other heavenly army generals is high, and their morale is like a rainbow!

The river is unstoppable, and it is gone, leaving behind a Qing army with people on their backs and a high-spirited heavenly army!

How could Ji Wenyuan let go of this opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy didn't know what was happening, he fought and began to attack the city in a big way, and captured all the city gates!

Then he attacked the governor's yamen, the treasury of money and grain, the overseer's tent and other key departments and strongholds.

When Li Hui came back to his senses, he found that he was already homeless!.
