Chapter 184: Stubborn Resistance
The spring breeze blows the earth, everything revives, and the warm sun shines on the earth.
Yue Fei was helped by Shi Dakai, the general of the Taiping Army, and he was like a bamboo all the way, and soon approached the Tianjing City where Hong Xiuquan was located.
After Hong Xiuquan launched a rebellion, Jiaozhi County was changed to Tianjing City and set as the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In Tianjing City, the military conference hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion was brightly lit, and more than a dozen Taiping Heavenly Kingdom civil and military forces, including Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, Southern King Feng Yunshan, and County Lord Hong Xiuquan, sat in priority and discussed strategies to deal with Yue Fei's army.
"Shi Dakai, this traitor, vain Fei Gu values him so much, he dares to betray the kingdom of heaven, sooner or later, one day Lone will have to break his body into thousands of pieces!" Thinking of the current embarrassment, Hong Xiuquan was angry, and couldn't help but hate and scold.
Feng Yunshan sighed helplessly, and arched his hand and said, "The Heavenly King temporarily rests the wrath of the thunder!" At present, the Sui army is pressing the border, if the king of heaven is angry because of Shi Dakai's traitor, it will be worth the loss! ”
Hong Xiuquan took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his chest slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What King Nan said is extremely true. At present, the situation in the heavenly kingdom is difficult, how can Lone be as knowledgeable as a clown like Shi Dakai who doesn't know how to lift? ”
"Heavenly King Shengming!"
Feng Yunshan complimented Hong Xiuquan with his hand, and then took advantage of the situation to speak: "Heavenly King, now that the Sui army is strong, Weichen thinks that Tianjing City is no longer in danger to defend, so the Heavenly King might as well give up Tianjing and lead his henchmen to the reckless jungle." Wait until the Sui and Tang dynasties start a war in the future, when the center of gravity of the Sui army moves north, and then make a comeback! ”
"The king of the south is wrong!"
As soon as Feng Yunshan's words fell, Hong Xuanjiao on the side retorted sharply: "Tianjing City is the capital of my heavenly kingdom, and it is the spiritual pillar of hundreds of thousands of Taiping Dao believers. If we abandon the city and flee before the first battle is fought, who will trust us in the future and return to the rule of my heavenly kingdom. ”
"What the county lord said is extremely true!"
The leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used to be gods and ghosts, and they have enjoyed a lot with Hong Xiuquan in the past two years. If they gave up Tianjing City at this moment and sneaked into the reckless jungle to endure hardship, how could they stand it? immediately echoed Hong Xuanjiao.
Feng Yunshan saw these people's intentions at a glance, and reprimanded with some annoyance: "Leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood!" Since you are persuading the Heavenly King to stay in Tianjing, is there any good idea to help the Heavenly King keep Tianjing City? ”
Hong Xuanjiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The art of war is cloudy, ten times the siege, five times the attack." There are still 40,000 elite soldiers in Tianjing City, more than 500,000 stones of grain and grass, and countless strong bows and crossbows. The Sui army is only 50,000 or 60,000 people, as long as we are united in the heavenly kingdom, we will definitely be able to make the Sui army fall under the city! ”
"What is the difference between what the county lord said and what he didn't say?"
Feng Yunshan smiled helplessly: "Even a dangerous pass like Yulin Pass will be lost, how can the county lord guarantee that Tianjing City will not be lost?" ”
Hong Xuanjiao snorted disdainfully: "The crime of losing Yulin Pass is not a crime, it is obvious that Shi Dakai, a traitor, has long had ill intentions, which led to the loss." In Tianjing City, Brother Wang himself is in charge, which young person dares to make trouble? ”
"What Sister Wang said is very true!"
Hong Xiuquan was also extremely reluctant to give up the prosperous life in Tianjing City, and after listening to Hong Xuanjiao's words at this moment, he immediately no longer hesitated, stood up, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Tianjing City is the foundation of the Heavenly Kingdom, and I have made up my mind to live and die with Tianjing City!" ”
"Heavenly King Shengming!"
All the civil and military officers praised him, Feng Yunshan sighed helplessly when he saw this, and could only join the crowd in praising Hong Xiuquan's wisdom and martial arts.
Seeing this, Hong Xiuquan nodded with satisfaction, put away his sword back to its sheath, slowly sat back on the throne, and said in a deep voice: "You are all the pillars of my heavenly kingdom, but what is the best way to help the lonely guard Tianjing?" ”
Hong Xuanjiao immediately got up and said: "Brother Wang, according to the opinion of the minister's sister, there is a large population in Tianjing City, not to mention that there are still fifty or sixty thousand young people. The minister suggested that Brother Wang could use the prestige of Taiping Dao to recruit people to go to the city to assist in the defense. ”
Hong Xiuquan stroked his beard and smiled: "What Sister Wang said is extremely true! The establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is to follow the order of the emperor and win the support of all the people. ”
Immediately, he twisted his head and instructed Feng Yunshan: "King Nan, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Feng Yunshan arched his hand and said, "Weichen takes the order!" ”
Hong Xiuquan bowed slightly, and then lightly swept the civil and military forces under the steps, and said: "The situation in the heavenly kingdom is difficult right now, if you have any ideas, just say it!" ”
A military general behind Feng Yunshan immediately said in a loud voice: "Heavenly King, the last general also has an idea, maybe it will be helpful to defend Tianjing." ”
Hong Xiuquan raised his eyes and saw that this person was eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, born burly and majestic, and dignified. Suddenly asked curiously: "...... is this general?"
Feng Yunshan hurriedly introduced: "Qiyu Heavenly King, this is Wei Chen's cousin Feng Sheng, who moved to other places with Wei Chen's uncle a few years ago, and just rushed back to Tianjing to join Wei Chen a few days ago. ”
"It turned out to be the brother of King Nan!"
Hong Xiuquan nodded and said approvingly: "Sure enough, it is a talent." I wonder what kind of trick General Feng can have to help Lone guard Tianjing? ”
Feng Sheng said loudly: "Heavenly King, the Sui army is menacing, the morale is like a rainbow, and our army is trapped in the lonely city is really the next strategy. The last general thought that he should take advantage of the Sui army's arrival to set up an ambush in the city and kill the Sui army's spirit. ”
Feng Sheng stepped forward as he spoke, walked to the map hanging on the side, pointed to the map in front of him and said, "Everyone, please see, there is a dry cloud ridge thirty miles north of Tianjing, the terrain is steep, the mountain road is narrow, we can set up an ambush here to give the Sui army a head-on blow!" ”
"General Feng." Hong Xuanjiao raised her doubts when she heard this: "Judging from the map, Kuyunling is not a necessary place to go to Tianjing, what if the Sui army does not go to Kuyunling?" ”
Feng Sheng smiled slightly: "The county lord can rest assured. Although Kuyunling is not a necessary place to go to Tianjing, it is the closest way to it. Now that the Sui army has won many battles, it would never have expected that our army would dare to go out of the city to ambush at this time, and it would definitely choose this nearest road. ”
Hong Xiuquan's military ability is definitely eight streets worse than pretending to be a god and deceiving people's minds, and he only heard what Feng Sheng said, so he immediately agreed to Feng Sheng's proposal, and asked everyone: "Which general is willing to go with General Feng to break the enemy?" ”
When everyone heard that you look at me, I look at you, they didn't want to go out of the city to fight the Sui army. Only the barbarian brave general Utohan Urn asked for battle angrily: "Heavenly King, the last general is willing to go with General Feng to break the enemy!" ”
Hong Xiuquan secretly paced Utohan and Shi Dakai on weekdays, in case Shi Dakai said that it would be a big deal if he was in battle, so he waved his hand and refused Utohan's invitation to fight: "General Wu is my brave general of the heavenly kingdom, and you are still needed to sit in Tianjing City, I think this matter should be handed over to others!" As he spoke, he swept his gaze to the side.
Several other generals saw Hong Xiuquan's gaze sweeping, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent, so angry that Hong Xiuquan's teeth itched.
Seeing that no one was willing to fight with him, Feng Sheng sighed helplessly, and arched his hand and said, "Heavenly King, the last general sponsors one person to go with the last general to break the enemy!" ”
