Chapter 147: A Long March of a Thousand Miles
Shi Dakai slapped Feng Wanzhen, there was a difference, and said, "Sister Wanzhen, are you crazy!" Do you know what you just did! ”
Probably because of the pain, Feng Wanzhen's hysterical energy had disappeared without a trace.
Feng Wanzhen slowly raised her head and sobbed: "Why, it is not us who is sacrificed, but Brother Yucheng." ”
After Shi Dakai heard this, his eyes were red, and he slowly spoke: "Dakai also hates not being able to live and die with his brothers!" However, we can't live up to the expectations of the Heavenly King and Yucheng, Wanzhen, can you understand my brother's feelings? ”
Feng Wanzhen said: "Brother Shi, I understand what you said, Wanzhen is panicked in her heart... ”
Shi Dakai hugged Feng Wanzhen tightly when he heard this, and then said, "Sister Wan, our brothers are going to take a gamble, how about it?" Life and death depend on the will of God. ”
Feng Wanzhen said: "I, Feng Wanzhen, have been fighting with the Heavenly King in the south and north for five or six years, and I have long put life and death aside. Brother Shi, you are the most strategic among us, what you say, we will all swear to the death! ”
As soon as Feng Wanzhen's words fell, the surviving Taiping army roared in unison: "Please give an order from General Digong!" ”
Shi Dakai was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in the direction of Yexian, kowtowed three times, and then got up to face the tens of thousands of Taiping elites and bowed deeply.
"General Digong can't!"
Shi Dakai said slowly: "A certain Shi Dakai failed to hold Yexian, and he is ashamed of the king of heaven and his brothers. I'm Shi Dakai, I'm guilty. ”
Shi Dakai said: "If we stay here, we will only sit and wait for death. Therefore, Shi decided to take his brothers on a long march, cross the Jinsha River, cross the Dadu River, and join Mrs. Dong. “
"Brothers, Shi is incompetent and has taken his brothers on such a dangerous path. The brothers have a home here, and if they want to quit, Shi will never stop them! ”
Everyone in the Taiping Army said in unison: "We will swear to follow General Digong to the death!" ”
"Good! Worthy of my brothers in Taipingdao! They're all good guys. Go, brethren! ”
The elite of the Taiping Army carried out a strategic shift under the leadership of Shi Dakai.
After the destruction of Yexian County, in Xue Rengui's military camp, a spy probed Malay to report:
"General, Yexian County has been breached, and all the thieves have been beheaded, but after searching the entire Yexian County, no thieves Shi Dakai, Feng Wanzhen and Wei Changhui have been found."
Xue Rengui said: "Have you searched carefully?" ”
"Back to the general's words, the villains searched the city all over the city, and indeed did not see the three thieves."
"Go down first."
"No, General." With that, the spy withdrew.
After listening to the spies' report, Xue Rengui pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.
Xue Rengui remembered that during the time period when he led his troops to rush to kill, there was indeed a man and a woman who retreated under the cover of Chen Yucheng with tens of thousands of Taiping troops.
And the man seems to be called Shi Dakai, and the woman seems to be called Feng Wanzhen.
Xue Rengui thought to himself: "From the time when the man and the woman retreated, it has been a full half a day now, and with their retreat speed, at least they have to go out of a hundred miles or so." ”
"Where can these tens of thousands go? Definitely won't go to Yangzhou, Yangzhou is the territory of my big man, and if he wants to go there, he will be tantamount to throwing himself into the net. “
"And if they go to Yangzhou, even if they are lucky enough to escape His Majesty's encirclement and suppression, it will be difficult for them to escape the joint strangulation of His Majesty and Liu Jingsheng, the Mu of Jingzhou."
"Therefore, if they want to survive, their smartest choice is to challenge Yizhou, which is full of natural dangers, and then go through Yizhou to join the Xiliang thieves."
"From Jiaozhou to Liangzhou, the whole journey is nearly 4,000 miles. Without any hindrance, a march of fifty miles a day would not be a problem at all. In this way, they will be able to reach Liangzhou before November. ”
"Therefore, it is unrealistic for our army to pursue these tens of thousands of people on a large scale. Our army is not familiar with the terrain of the entire Jiaozhou. If there are fewer people who are chasing and intercepting, it is equivalent to delivering food, and if they go more, the army is not flexible, and the consumption is huge, and if you are unlucky, you may be busy in vain. ”
"Let's discuss this matter with my father and younger brother."
Xue Rengui, father and son discussed together for a long time, and the final conclusion was to contact Yizhou and eliminate Shi Dakai's forces through the Yizhou army. ”
The fact that the Xue father and son are out of line does not mean that other people are also out of line.
Yangzhou, Liu Debate Camp. Liu Wei and Qin Hao were leisurely drinking afternoon tea.
Liu Wei opened his mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, thank you so much." Ever since you came out of the mountain, I've felt comfortable with a lot of things. ”
Qin Hao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." But Your Majesty, it's time for us to get down to business.
Liu argued: "Brother-in-law, you are always a little less lively. ”
Qin Hao said: "My liveliness is only for women." ”
Liu argued: "Okay, brother-in-law, you won." I think when I talk about Shi Dakai, my brother-in-law will understand what I want to express. ”
Qin Hao said: "Yes, as a traverser, our systems are very powerful. So your majesty has your own plan building? ”
Liu argued: "I speculate that the stone bandits and others may pass through Yizhou and eventually arrive in Liangzhou, and it is really unwise for the Taiping bandit army to go to Yangzhou. Plan, let Liu Yan beat him. ”
Qin Hao said: "It's not bad to unite with the Yizhou Army to intercept the stone bandits. But Your Majesty, it's not good for us to just watch the play here, we have to give him Shi Dakai some more materials. ”
Liu argued: "What is my brother-in-law's plan? ”
Qin Hao said: "We can send our border army to give a head-on blow on the way to escape from the Taiping bandits, and the general must be brave and resourceful." ”
"Then, we can inform Liu Yan of the danger and strategic significance of the Dadu River. This old man must still have a heart with us for now. ”
"Otherwise, Your Majesty can remove this old man from the Han family. Anyway, we don't have to be afraid of this old man. ”
Liu argued: "Brother-in-law, you said Dadu River!" ”
Qin Hao replied: "Yes, it's Dadu River, Your Majesty, did you remember something?" ”
Liu argued: "The place of Dadu River is famous. Brother-in-law, you should remember that we learned the article Feiduo Luding Bridge in elementary or middle school. This is the Dadu River. ”
"Also, Shi Dakai in history was chased and intercepted by the Qing army here on the Dadu River."
In the end, the most domineering and famous Dadu River is not because of the sentence that the golden sand water beats the clouds and cliffs are warm, and the Dadu Bridge is cold. I like the snow of Minshan Mountain for thousands of miles, and the three armies are happy after the end. ”
Qin Hao said: "What Your Majesty said is good. The Dadu Bridge has always been an excellent natural hazard. If Liu Yan Lao'er didn't know how to use such a natural barrier to deal with the Taiping bandits, I think Liu Yan'er would be incorrigible. ”
Liu argued: "Then brother-in-law, this matter should not be delayed." If it hadn't been intercepted, the Taiping bandit army would definitely have joined the Liang army before November. We must convince Liu Yan'er as soon as possible. ”
Qin Hao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Do you recall well, have you ever summoned a man of good speech? ”
Liu Wei scratched his ears and thought for a long time, and then said embarrassedly: "Eh, that, brother-in-law, I seem to use it to summon fierce generals, to be honest, I haven't even summoned a few resourceful people, let alone people who are good at debating." ”
As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, he was kicked to the ground by Qin Hao. Qin Hao roared angrily: "Your Majesty, you are really brave and unscrupulous, even summoning someone can see your urine, I really obeyed you!" ”
Qin Hao softened his tone and said, "Forget it, who made me your brother-in-law?" Who made me Qin Hao also a member of the family? What an adult, if you have something to do, you have to wipe your ass. ”
Qin Hao slapped his face a few times, and a middle-aged man walked up slowly, and bowed three times and nine times to Liu Wei and Qin Hao.
"Minister, Zhang Yi, knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the general."
Liu argued: "Brother-in-law, it turns out that you have already arranged it. ”
Qin Hao said: "It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty. Qin Hao continued: "Zhang Yi, what your mission is, you must know very well. This father will repeat the last time for you, saying that Liu Yan will be moved and Shi Dakai will be intercepted in the Dadu River! ”
"Chen Zhang Yi will live up to his mission!"
"Go, Bengong believes in you. However, if you mess up, be careful of the head! ”
"If Chen Zhangyi is not successful, he will become a benevolent!"
Liu argued: "Zhang Yi, it's good, let's go!" ”
Promise!
After Zhang Yi withdrew, Qin Hao's face turned cloudy again: "I said Your Majesty, can you have a snack!" I won't give you a comprehensive idea, you don't have to use people! Forget it, I'm too lazy to complain about you, reflect on it yourself. ”
Liu Wei sat there stunned and didn't speak. Liu Wei knew that his brother-in-law had already given himself enough face.
After everything was arranged, the two of them went to find their respective wives and concubines, and went to have fun, and by the way, they waited for news from Zhang Yi.
Liu Bian's dormitory.
Mu Guiying said: "It's really good to have a brother-in-law to take care of your little brat, I found that since my brother-in-law came, you have become less frivolous and rude, and you have become wiser day by day." ”
Liu Wei said angrily: "But my brother-in-law is too strict in managing his family, except for facing his courtiers, my brother-in-law never gives me face in private, is he also an emperor?" ”
Mu Guiying said: "It's also right to be strict with you, that's for your good." The queen mother and I usually dote on you too much, and it's a little wrong, and we can't bear to talk about you. “
"But you yourself told your brother-in-law, reflect on it, did you do it yourself in many places?"
Liu Wei thought for a while and said, "It seems like that's the case, there are a few big things, and what I did was really ridiculous." Moreover, my brother-in-law said that mine is reasonable. ”
Mu Guiying said: "Isn't that right?" In the future, long snacks, Ang. ”
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly became more shiny, and he said sonorously: "I, Liu Bian, will definitely become a generation of Mingjun!" ”
