On May 28, Lin Fengxiang came to join Wei Ze, and Wei Ze's troops were greatly boosted. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, did not ignore Wei Ze's troops because he went north and the Qing army was chasing after him. This made the officers feel that they had worked so hard to come to join the brigade, and finally had a result.

According to the news brought by Lin Fengxiang, the Taiping army has begun to besiege Quanzhou. Wei Ze suspected that the reason why Yu Wanqing withdrew his troops was because Quanzhou could no longer resist, and the defenders pleaded with Yu Wanqing. Yu Wanqing moved closer to the main force of the Taiping Army and just made a show.

After making the above judgment, Wei Ze asked Lin Fengxiang, "Brother Lin, how much food do we have in the Taiping Army now?" ”

"When I came out of Guilin, there wasn't much food left!" Lin Fengxiang replied.

Listening to Lin Fengxiang's answer, Wei Ze's subordinates' faces became ugly. Before crossing the river, Wei Ze still had ten days of food in his hand, and it took three days to cross the river, and now the food is only enough to eat for seven days. After seven days, the troops will run out of food.

Everyone was studying the map when they crossed the river, and Lin Fengxiang made it clear that Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan both wanted to go south from Guilin, while Yang Xiuqing was against public opinion and advocated going north to attack Changsha. Now the troops are attacking Quanzhou, and if Quanzhou is defeated, the troops will continue to attack Yongzhou in the north, and then attack Hengyang, with the ultimate goal being Changsha.

Between Wei Ze and the main force of the Taiping army, there were nearly 20,000 Qing troops. If Wei Ze wanted to join the main force of the Taiping army, he had to break through the defense lines of these Qing army subordinates. If you want to contact Yang Xiuqing and then make sure that the two sides are fighting together, it will take at least three or four days, at that time Wei Ze's food is already less than three days, and if you march to fight again, it will become a hammer deal. If you can't break through the Qing army's defense line, you will have to go hungry.

Everyone looked at Wei Ze, hoping that Wei Ze could come up with a solution. At least we have to find a way to get Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, to send troops to respond. Seeing that Wei Ze was silent, Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but want to say something, Wei Changrong privately dragged Zhang Yingchen, Zhang Yingchen looked at Wei Changrong in confusion, but still kept his mouth shut.

"Brother Lin, since that's the case, I'll go and join the East King now." Weeser said. Hearing this, the faces of Wei Ze's subordinates became ugly.

Wei Ze continued: "But there is a Qing army in front, and we can't kill it. You can only take a detour to meet the East King. ”

"Detour?" Lin Fengxiang frowned.

Wei Ze put the rough map on the table, "We don't go north, but first go east, go Yongjiang, Daozhou, and go straight to Yongzhou." Since the king of the east wants to fight Yongzhou, we will join the king of the east in Yongzhou. ”

Lin Fengxiang looked at the map carefully, and after a while, he asked a question, "Isn't it closer to Guanyang?" ”

"Walking to Guanyang, I still went around the back of Yongzhou. Since it is a detour, you have to take the road that the demon can't imagine, which is called a detour. Weese replied. After finishing speaking, he stared at Lin Fengxiang closely. Lin Fengxiang is now the imperial guard, and since he has joined Wei Ze's troops, he represents the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If Lin Fengxiang couldn't accept Wei Ze's plan, then Wei Ze could only do what Lin Fengxiang requested. Otherwise, even if he joined the main force of the Taiping Army, Wei Ze's actions would not be recognized.

Lin Fengxiang looked at the map for a while, asked Wei Ze several questions, and finally said: "The East King felt that the Qing Demon suddenly withdrew his troops, but he was afraid that Brother Wei would come from behind, so he asked me to come and look for Brother Wei." The king of the east did not make a decree, so he had to let the Wei brothers attack the Qing demon from behind. A detour is also an option. ”

Wei Ze didn't expect Lin Fengxiang to cooperate so much, and he was really overjoyed. Without any more nonsense, Wei Ze gathered his subordinates who were expected to deal with the heavens and the earth on the road, and let them contact them first. After the simple reorganization of Weese's troops, they began to move southeast with the road openers.

On June 13, a large stack of folds was placed on Emperor Xianfeng's desk. Xianfeng rubbed his head, he felt a headache at a young age.

The only good news in the recent recital was a battle between the Qing army and the Taiping army at Lingyidu, in which Cezanne claimed to have killed nearly 10,000 Taiping soldiers and killed Xiao Chaogui, the Taiping's bandit. However, Xianfeng did not believe this, and the Taiping army continued to go north after conquering Quanzhou, even after fighting with the Qing army in Lingyidu, the Taiping army still continued to go north and appeared under the city of Yongzhou.

Bao Qibao, who guarded Yongzhou, boasted that defending Yongzhou was an "immortal achievement", which was tantamount to slapping Cezanne in the mouth in disguise. Bao Qibao claimed that 20,000 or 30,000 Taiping troops besieged Yongzhou and were killed and retreated by Bao Qibao. Cezanne first said that there were only more than 10,000 Taiping troops left when they fled from Guilin, and later claimed to have killed nearly 10,000 Taiping troops at Lingyidu. But a few days later, another 20,000 or 30,000 Taiping troops appeared in Yongzhou, and the Taiping army made tens of thousands of troops in the mountains within a few days, which is nonsense.

Xianfeng didn't believe Bao Qibao's words at all, and the Taiping army shook a shot outside Yongzhou City, and suddenly went south again, heading straight for Daozhou. Other earlier movements claim that a bundle of Taiping troops first attacked Guilin behind the Taiping army, and then crossed the river and conquered Yongjiang and Daozhou. The defenders of Daozhou did not expect to be attacked, and when this bundle of Taiping troops reached the city of Daozhou on June 9, the gates of Daozhou City did not have time to close.

And Daozhou Zhizhou Wang Yuyi's apology made Xianfeng laugh out loud. Wang Kuo first "committed suicide by throwing himself into the river and was rescued", and then "wanted to kill himself, but he was also taken away with a knife". In short, this Wang Zhizhou went through a fierce test of life and death, and finally escaped with his subordinates.

After reading this recital, Xianfeng first laughed heartily, and after laughing, he threw it out. He then stood up, trying to rush over and stomp a few more times. If Wang Kuyi knew that Zhou was in front of Xianfeng at this time, Xianfeng would definitely step on Wang Yuyi's head as hard as stepping on that twist.

For such a guy who escaped from the battle, Xianfeng immediately issued a strict order. And the results of Cezanne's investigation of the Taiping army were also sent to Xianfeng. According to Cezanne, the leader of the Taiping army was named Wei Changrong, and he was the brother of the Taiping bandit Wei Changhui. It was a bandit who followed Xiao Chaogui when he was in Jintian Village. Moreover, Cezanne also claimed that the supreme leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was Xiao Chaogui, and Xiao Chaogui was killed in Lingyidu.

Xianfeng had long lost confidence in the performance of Cézanne and other civilian and military generals, and he only temporarily believed the part of the report of the Taiping Army. The young emperor did not know that even with his vigilance, he overestimated the ability of his subordinates to gather intelligence. Not to mention that Cézanne mistook the name of the leader of the Shu Taiping Army. And Wei Changrong and Wei Changhui are not brothers at all. In terms of seniority, Wei Ze is the same generation as Wei Changhui. The reason why the names of the two seem to be clan brothers or brothers is a complete coincidence. Wei Changhui, the northern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was originally named Wei Zheng, and it was Hong Xiuquan who gave Wei Zheng the name Wei Changhui, and Wei Changrong was his real name. Fortunately, Xianfeng didn't know this, if he knew, it would be difficult for him to rub his temples to get rid of the headache.

Regarding the current war situation, Xianfeng keenly felt that the minister of the Imperial Mission, Cezanne, was ready to start shirking his responsibilities. In the recital, Cezanne repeatedly mentions that Daozhou is in Hunan, and that he is responsible for exterminating the Cantonese bandits. This means that since the minister of the Qin Mission, Cezanne, has driven the Cantonese bandits out of Guangxi, his responsibility has been fulfilled, and the rest of the matter is the affairs of the Hunan government.

Xianfeng always felt that Cezanne was a very capable guy when he was in the imperial court, so he couldn't understand Cezanne's ugliness after he became a minister abroad. However, there are different opinions from all sides, and in addition to attacking each other, they are shirking each other's responsibilities. There is not much mention of the rebels' raids on the city.

"Looks like we're going to have to deal with some people!" Xianfeng put down the twists and turns, and finally made up his mind.

At this time, outside Daozhou City, Wei Ze was waiting for the main force of the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to resist Daozhou. On the way along the Yongjiang River to Daozhou, Wei Ze's forces doubled in size. The Hunan Tiandihui has been trying to rebel, but it has never been able to defeat the Qing army. Wei Ze's appearance undoubtedly gave these members of the Heaven and Earth Society scattered all over the place an object to rely on.

Weese's troops chanted, "The superior ones owe me money, the middle ones sleep, and the inferior ones follow me, it's better than renting oxen and plowing thin fields!" Everywhere he went, members of the Heaven and Earth Society joined in.

Different from the situation of the Tiandihui in Guangxi, after entering Hunan, the Tiandihui was basically locals, and they did not defect to the Taiping Army with their families, but joined Wei Ze's team in a voluntary way. When it was almost time to reach Daozhou, Wei Ze's troops had expanded to 4ooo people.

These new members of the Heaven and Earth Society were all locals and played a great role in the process of conquering Daozhou. Just like the Taiping army conquered Yong'an, with the help of these members of the Heaven and Earth Society, when Wei Ze and them entered the city gate, the city gate was already in a mess.

Due to the recruitment of troops along the way, the march of the troops was not fast. After conquering Daozhou, Wei Ze simply temporarily reorganized here. Of course, Wei Ze also sent an outpost to Yongzhou. As a result, the outpost happened to encounter the main force of the Taiping army coming in the direction of Yongzhou.

For Weese, it doesn't feel good. Even if Lin Fengxiang testified, after the main force of the Taiping Army fought so bloodily, Wei Ze ran in front of them. If you have a heart to find thorns, you can use it to find how many awkward aspects you need. And Wei Ze knows very well that this is not someone else's problem, and he himself is a little weak-minded.

Since going south to Wuzhou, Wei Ze has actually had the idea of breaking away from the Taiping Army and working alone. It's just that after seeing the reality of Guangxi, Wei Ze is now incapable of doing it alone. Only then did he turn back to catch up with the main force of the Taiping army. And if it is the kind of "loyal" guy, no matter how many Qing troops there are in front, he will also try to break through the Qing army's defense line and try his best to fight the main force. And Weeser's choice is the most beneficial for Weese, and in this regard, Weeser is very clear.

A yellow umbrella appeared on the mountain road in the distance, and there were figures wearing yellow princes' robes below, and the princes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally appeared.
