Chapter 1640: Five Roads to Conquer Qin (I)
Chapter 1640 Five Roads Attack Qinshang
Hearing Chongheihu's words, Liu Xiu smiled indifferently, and said disapprerovingly, "No need, this king will go over in person, and none of you are allowed to follow." ”
"But"
"This is a military order."
After that, Liu Xiu didn't give everyone a reaction, so he rode his horse directly, dismounted in front of Hong Xiu, and helped him up.
Hong Xiuquan looked at Liu Xiu with a shocked face, and the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were also surprised, obviously they didn't expect Liu Xiu to be so bold that he came alone without escorts.
"Hong Gong, if you sincerely surrender, the promise you made will definitely be accepted."
Liu Xiu looked at Hong Xiuquan and said sincerely, "If you are still unwilling, you can kill Liu Xiu now." ”
Although Hong Xiuquan fell into self-denial and was full of despair about the future situation, it was naturally impossible for Liu Xiu to say that there was no resentment, so when he saw Liu Xiu sent to the door alone, he couldn't help but think differently in his heart.
Just when Hong Xiuquan was full of bad intentions, but when he heard Liu Xiu's words, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down again, saying, "Don't dare, don't dare, Hong Xiuquan sincerely asks to surrender, there is no second heart, and please ask the king of Chu Mingjian." ”
Hearing Hong Xiuquan say this, Liu Xiu suddenly smiled, but Shi Dakai behind Hong Xiu's body was anxious.
"Heavenly King, think twice"
"Shut up."
Hong Xiuquan's sudden outburst not only suppressed some generals who were unwilling to surrender, but also Shi Dakai, who was preparing to attack.
Hong Xiuquan glanced at everyone with warning, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, he really hoped that such an old brother could start and finish well.
Hong Xiuquan can be regarded as having understood everything now, Liu Xiu must be testing himself, he knows everything in his heart, since he dares to come alone, he is absolutely sure that he will retreat.
"Alas"
After sighing in his heart, Hong Xiu didn't think of him anymore, and shouted again, "Please take the seal from the King of Chu." ”
Seeing that Hong Xiuquan did not play tricks, although the Taiping generals were not angry, they were still peaceful, Liu Xiu was also secretly relieved in his heart, he naturally would not risk his life, but he really didn't want the surrender to become a big war.
Liu Xiu showed a bright smile, and after taking the Heavenly King Seal in Hong Xiuquan's hand and the Tiger Talisman of the Taiping Army, he said seriously, "Hong Gong, please rest assured, Xiu will definitely treat the Taiping Army well." ”
"Thank you King Chu for repaying your grievances with virtue."
Hong Xiuquan expressed his gratitude again, and Liu Xiu directly shouted, "The whole army enters the city." ”
With Liu Xiu's order, tens of thousands of Chu troops entered Jiaozhi, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and officially received everything that originally belonged to the Taiping Army.
At this point, after splitting from the Yellow Turban, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had been active for more than ten years, was finally completely destroyed by Liu Xiu.
In fact, even if Hong Xiuquan does not surrender, at most half a year, Liu Xiu can still eliminate Hong Xiuquan.
Of the five counties of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu almost occupied most of them, and Hong Xiuquan could only shrink in Jiaozhi City, surviving for a long time, pinning all his hopes on the rescue of Sun Jian of Eastern Wu, but Sun Jian could also save for a while instead of a lifetime, so it was only a matter of time before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed.
Of course, if Hong Xiuquan really resists, then Liu Xiu will pay a greater loss even if he can win in the end, instead of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people as he does now, and he may miss a bigger opportunity.
Liu Ji's edict against the Qin army was also received by Liu Xiu not long ago, and if he continued to be dragged by Hong Xiuquan in Jiaozhou, he would not be able to fully participate in the Qin affair.
Qin Chu has never been at odds, and now that he finally has the opportunity to attack Qin Hao, Liu Xiu would rather give up some interests than miss this opportunity.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Mang was defeated, Li Jing won a complete victory, and now Qingzhou must be in danger, and Hebei is in danger."
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he said very resolutely, "You must not wait for Qin Hao to occupy Hebei, so this king decided to respond to the call of the king of Shu and send troops to attack Qin." ”
The generals of the Chu army were also extremely aggrieved by Yue Fei, all the way back from Nanjun to poor Jingnan, and now they heard that Liu Xiu was going to take the initiative to counterattack the Qin army, and one by one they were like being beaten with chicken blood, so naturally there was no reason to oppose it.
"My lord, it is inevitable to send troops to attack Qin, but how to fight this battle still needs to be studied in detail." Deng Yu said.
"Oh"
Liu Xiu frowned slightly, and asked, "How to study the method?"
"For example, how many soldiers and horses are dispatched and which way to attack"
"The Qin army is much stronger than the Wu army and the Taiping army, and if you want to ensure victory, you must send at least 150,000 troops. As for which way to attack"
After Liu Xiu pondered for a while, he said decisively, "Of course it's Nanjun, Nanjun was originally the territory of my Chu State, and now that it's taken back, Liu Ji has nothing to say." ”
"Wrong, wrong, very wrong."
Deng Yu said three typos, shook his head and asked, "The Taiping army has not yet completely returned to its heart, the Eastern Wu army has not yet retreated, and the Nine True Warriors have not yet been attached, so how can we mobilize 150,000 troops to attack Qin."
Now Jiaozhou is only preliminary, and it is at a time when all the troops are waiting to be rebuilt, if all the troops are sent out to fight, it is inevitable that there will be no turmoil in Jiaozhou, which has just arrived."
Liu Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, he naturally knew what Deng Yu said, but these were not a big problem in his opinion.
"The situation in Jiaozhou is a foregone conclusion, Sun Jian is not short-sighted, Hong Xiu has surrendered, and he will withdraw from the army soon. As for Shi Yi"
A trace of contempt flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, and he smiled lightly, "It's just an incompetent person, no matter who leads the troops here, as long as more than 10,000 elite soldiers are dispatched, it will take more than a month to sweep away the two counties of Jiuzhen and Rinan." ”
"What about the Taiping Army?"
"Amount"
Liu Xiu was speechless for a moment, of course he knew that although the Taiping army had surrendered, there were still hidden dangers inside, if the Jiaozhou defenders were empty, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Taiping army would not rebel.
In general, Liu Xiu does not lack anything now, but he only lacks time, and only with enough time can he transform what he has into strength.
"How many troops do you think you should contribute?"
"Fifty thousand at most."
"What can 50,000 do"
"Capture Jiangxia."
Hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Deng Yu meant.
"In this attack on Qin, Shu Tang is the main force, our army only needs to assist from the side, and then take the opportunity to grab the benefits.
Jiangling and Xiangyang in Jingbei and other important military towns must be the key to the contention between Qin and Shu.
Our army has few troops, and even if it can be captured, it may not be able to defend it, so there is no need to grab these important places, but instead take the opportunity to eliminate Huang Zu and occupy the important land of Jiangxia.
Once Jiangxia is in hand, our army will be able to threaten Soochow from the three directions of Jiangxia, Changsha, and the South China Sea. ”
Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said, "Good plan, just do it." ”
