The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is destroyed!

Hong Xiuquan was killed!

Liu Bei changed color in shock, his old figure was suddenly shocked, and the bold words that had rushed to his throat were immediately suffocated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the stairs, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other ministers of the Han State were all shocked and discolored, and in a trance they thought that their ears had heard wrong.

You must know that less than a month ago, they had just received information that although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been defeated repeatedly, it had finally restrained the Wei army's offensive in Longbian City, and the Wei army could not break through the city despite all means.

The Han people were optimistic that the offensive of the potters would come to an end, and they would fall into the situation of being under the old city for a long time.

This also means that the potters and 100,000 Wei troops will be nailed to the ground of Longbian City, and it will take at least a few months to return north.

In a few months, the northern states may have already been taken by their four lines of soldiers and horses, internal and external joint attacks, and even if the potters rush back to the Central Plains, it will be useless.

But they never expected that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which they had high hopes for, would be destroyed in one month!

This astonishing fact is how to make them acceptable.

Liu Bei, who was in shock, came back to his senses after a while, and roared: "A month ago, you also said that the dragon weaving was impregnable, and the pottery thief was trapped in the quagmire of Jiaozhou and couldn't get out, how could the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom be destroyed so quickly, how could this be possible!?" ”

The royal forest sergeant did not dare to speak, so he could only tremble and prostrate forward and present the silk book urgently.

Liu Bei snatched it, and he couldn't wait to take a closer look.

After just a few glances, Liu Bei's eyes burst out of astonishment, his mouth shrank into an exaggerated circle, and his expression was frozen in an unbelievable moment.

In the silk book information, the process of the destruction of the dragon weaving city is written simply, but clearly:

The dragon weaving city was collapsed by a sudden earthquake!

"Earthquake! It's an earthquake again......" Liu Bei gritted his teeth, his fists clenched secretly, and his round eyes burst out with anger and hatred.

He remembered the castle.

At the beginning, the Zhending City guarded by Hou Jing was also indestructible in the eyes of him and all the civil and military forces of the Han Kingdom.

As a result, such a fortified city was inexplicably collapsed by a sudden earthquake, which led to the fall of Zhending, and his southern expedition was told that it was a failure.

The earthquake at that time completely shook the soldiers and civilians of the Han Kingdom, and many people had the idea that the pottery merchants were the masters of the Mandate of Heaven, and that God was manifesting to help the pottery merchants, which was a great blow to the morale of the people of the Han Kingdom.

In order to appease people's hearts, Liu Bei tried his best to lie that the earthquake was a non-existent thing, and that Zhending City had been destroyed because of the old city defense project, which was just an accident.

Today, the same thing is happening again, proving once again that the potter is the master of destiny.

Otherwise, how could God use two earthquakes to help the potter at a critical moment.

Even the most stupid person probably won't believe that this is a coincidence.

"Your Majesty, how did the dragon weaving city break?" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Bei frowned, wanting to show the information in his hand to everyone, but his eyes rolled, but he tore the silk book in his hand angrily and threw it in the air.

The ministers below were stunned for a while.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his anger, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter how the Dragon Weaving City was broken, Hong Xiuquan is incompetent, let's destroy it, even if there is no Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this time we will besiege the pottery thief with soldiers and horses from all directions, and he will not be able to escape death!" ”

Zhang Feiren was stupid, he couldn't guess Liu Bei's intentions in doing this, he didn't know that Liu Bei had torn up the information, but he didn't want him to know the truth about Long Bian's compulsion.

If the subjects of the Han Kingdom knew that the potters had been rocked by another earthquake with the help of heaven, what a blow it would have been to their spirits.

I'm afraid that before the southern expedition set off, and before the soldiers and horses started, their fighting spirit had already fallen by half.

Therefore, Liu Bei could only try his best to conceal the truth and use the so-called disdain to divert the attention of the ministers.

Others couldn't see it, but Zhuge Liang saw the clue from Liu Bei's angry expression, and guessed that the battle of Longbian City must have happened something that shocked the hearts of the army, so that Liu Bei couldn't say it.

His bright eyes also turned slightly, and he immediately echoed Liu Bei, and said in a loud voice: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, now the pottery thief is already an internal and external trouble, even if he returns north in time, it will not help, my Han iron horse goes south, the pottery thief will be destroyed, and the Han family will be prosperous!" ”

Zhuge Liang's words swept away the shock of the ministers' suitability, and helped Liu Bei rekindle everyone's fighting spirit.

Zhang Fei was the first to wave his fist and shouted: "The pottery thief will be destroyed, and the Han family will be prosperous!" ”

"The pottery thief will be destroyed, and the Han family will be prosperous-"

"The pottery thief will be destroyed, and the Han family will be prosperous-"

The civil ministers and military generals in the hall, their blood was ignited, and they responded in groups, raising their arms and shouting wildly, and the arrogant shouts of war resounded throughout the hall.

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows were arrogant again, he stood up, waved his big hand, and said sharply: "Spread my will, do my best to serve as the army of the Han Dynasty, and Keri to the south, this time, I will sweep away Tao Wei in one fell swoop and restore the Han Dynasty!" ”

……

Jingzhou.

Above the Han River, countless warships are heading upstream, heading straight for Xiangyang, the place of governance.

The day after the potter completed the wedding in Longbiancheng, accepted Mu Guiying as his concubine, and obtained 1 additional force value, he withdrew from the gentle countryside and returned to the north and went straight to the Central Plains.

In Jiaozhou, although Hong Xiuquan was destroyed, considering that there was still Zhao Kuangyin who fled to Nanyang, the pottery merchants could not relax their vigilance, but left Zhou Yafu with 30,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Jiaozhou.

The potter himself led 70,000 cavalry soldiers to return north from the starry night of the waterway.

Just after he arrived in Xiangyang, he received information from northern Hebei, saying that Liu Bei had led an army of 130,000 cavalry to the south again, and the troops were approaching northern Hebei.

At the same time, Yelu Abaoji also led 80,000 Xianbei iron horsemen to the south and went straight to Bingzhou.

The development of the situation has been obvious, this is Liu Bei entangled with the Xianbei people, invaded Hebei again, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Qingxu, when he himself did not have time to return to the division, and took Hebei in one fell swoop.

This time, although there were two enemies in Qingzhou, Sun Ce and Song Jiang, it seemed that the situation was urgent, but in the eyes of the pottery merchant, the situation was better than when he attacked Qin the last time.

Because this time, he left most of the main force, nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, on the front line of Jizhou and Zhou, just to prevent Liu Bei and Yelu Abaoji, the two big enemies, which also means that Liu Bei and they want to achieve the same results as last time, it is already a dream.

In northern Hebei, the pottery merchants had famous generals like Han Xinhuo Quai, leaving more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, while on the front line of Bingzhou, there were generals such as Wei Qing and Li Mu, with nearly 100,000 troops.

In addition, there are also Chen Ping and Zhang Liang and other resourceful people, Fan Xu, Meng Tian, Cao Shen, Hou Yi, Luo Cheng, Ma Yuan and many other generals, potters believe that it is enough to resist the southern invasion of the northern enemy.

At least for quite some time.

According to Liu Ji's strategy, the pottery merchant first took the 70,000 troops to pacify Jiaozhou, went to Qingxu to meet Wu Zixu's troops, extinguished Song Jiang's rebellion, and drove Sun Ce back to the sea.

Then, he went north to Jizhou to join the main army and gathered 400,000 troops to fight Liu Bei.

At that time, the potters will no longer be satisfied with repelling Liu Bei's invasion, but will go on a northern expedition to the Han Kingdom and dominate the world.

In view of the tight situation in Qingzhou, Zhang Xun of Xixian County had been surrounded by Sun Ce's army for nearly a month, so the pottery merchants did not dare to stay in Xiangyang, and crossed the Han River north in the starry night and went straight to Qingzhou.

The army first crossed Nanyang, then entered Yingchuan, and entered the hinterland of Yanzhou in a few days, traveling more than 100 miles a day, and marching eastward under the stars and nights.

Ten days later, an army of 70,000 led by the potters entered the range of Snake Hill City, where the country of Jibei was located.

Seventy miles further on, you will enter Taishan County.

Taishan county is named because of Mount Tai, bordering Xuzhou to the east and south, bordering Qingzhou to the north, and Yanzhou to the west.

According to the latest information, Song Jiang has occupied the entire Taishan County, and with its original seat of governance Fenggaocheng, as the capital of Taishan State, under his command gathered to Taishan Kou of that year, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses.

The purpose of this battle of the pottery merchants was naturally to enter Taishan County, capture Fenggao City, and destroy Song Jiang.

Then, his army can remove the flank threat of marching into Qingzhou, whether from Xuzhou or Yanzhou, he can go straight to Qingzhou without any worries and go to relieve the siege of Juxian County.

Just when the army was about to enter Snake Hill City and join the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Ding Feng's division defending the city, the pottery merchant suddenly issued an order, ordering Ma Chao and Shi Dakai to lead the follow-up 65,000 troops, not to rush to Snake Hill, but directly under the banner of his Son of Heaven, and diverted to Wenyang City in the south.

The potter himself, with 5,000 soldiers and horses, continued to Snake Hill City under the banner of Deng Ai.

"Your Majesty, Snake Hill only has 5,000 soldiers, Your Majesty only led 5,000 soldiers and horses to come, and there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in total. Deng Ai reminded.

From this direction to capture Fenggao City, there are two routes, one of which is from Snake Hill City, first break through the Juping City on the border of the two counties, and then advance eastward along Wenshui all the way to capture Bo County, so that the troops can come under Fenggao City.

Although this road is relatively close, it has to pass through mountainous roads such as Turtle Mountain and Yulai Mountain, and the road is not smooth.

"Ten thousand soldiers and horses are enough." The corners of the potter's mouth raised a hint of weirdness, "Why do you need so many soldiers and horses to break through a mere Juping City, I will use 10,000 soldiers and horses to break through Juping and kick open the gate of Taishan County." ”

As soon as these words came out, Deng Ai's body was shocked, and his expression changed.
