Li Xiucheng pointed out the map and said to Chen Yucheng: "Brother, although this Guichi County is small, we can't be careless, it's not that Zeng Guofan has much ability, it's just that this place is close to Anqing, in case Wang Jinxiu's guy comes out to make trouble for us, we can't be sloppy." ”

"Big brother, what you said is very true," there were no other idlers in the tent, and Chen Yucheng also called Li Xiucheng brother affectionately, "The cavalry that blocked the little brother seemed to be Wang Jinxiu's command, a team led by a kid named Jiang Qi, although he was a little immature, but he was also a tiger general." ”

"Now this team of Zeng Guo Fan in the west can be called elite, although Wang Jinxiu is famous in Wuchang, he does not dare to leave Anqing Mansion, this is our advantage, he will not dare to let Anqing lose," Li Xiucheng poured a glass of water for Chen Yucheng, "As long as the Zeng State Domain is completely wiped out, the Kingdom of Heaven is in the Jiangxi area of southern Anhui, and there is no opponent, we can also follow the method of the Wing King, and start to set up officials, collect taxes, and recruit troops, this is the foundation of our Heavenly Kingdom!" Li Xiucheng's words were full of pride.

"The younger brother will follow the eldest brother to create a great cause together!" Chen Yucheng was also infected by Li Xiucheng's pride and ambition, and followed Li Xiucheng's words to express his intentions.

"Okay, brother, you will work with my department to attack this Guichi County in turn, I don't believe that this little Guichi County will be able to protect Zeng Guo's domain!"

The third western expedition of the Taiping army was replaced by the prime minister of Tianguan Zheng and the prime minister of the local government, and the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan was still beaten all over the ground to find teeth, and the ant-like tide army slowly pressed close to Guichi County, and the earth trembled with shouts, and the Hunan soldiers in the city were a little afraid. But he still picked up the city defense tools in his hand amid the shouts of the captain, and prepared to fight to the death with the rebellion.

The life-and-death battle between the two armies was about to break out, and the crossbow on the head of Guichi County had been broken by the sappers with their legs, and the pressure was squeaked, and the siege troops who were about to rebel were released when they entered the firing range. Just when the wind and clouds were about to change color, there was a sound of gold in the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Taiping Tiger and Wolf Army, which was originally ready to attack, retreated into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Zeng Guoquan in the city was confused, and looked at each other with the poplar tree on the side, "Why are you thinking about it?" A trick to lure the enemy? But we'll never go out of the city again! "Especially after two defeats, Zeng Guofan, who is the most stable in his army, will definitely not agree to go out of the city to pursue.

Zeng Guoquan hurriedly reported to Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi, who were sitting in the Guichi County Ya. Zeng Guofan thought for a moment. slapped his thigh, and his originally extremely grim expression became suspicious, "Could it be that Shaoquan launched it?" ”

"If that's the case, this can be regarded as a plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei!" Hu Linyi was also extremely happy. After sighing, he said to Zeng Guofan: "Dashuai." If that's true. We're in the west, and the pressure is so much less! ”

Zeng Guofan nodded, "Exactly, quickly." Tell the scout to find out, if it is a rebellion, it will be enough, if it really comes back to Jiangning, the old man will be fierce and take Tongling! ”

"Yes! Eldest brother! ”

In the tent of the Taiping Army, Li Xiucheng slapped his palm on the case fiercely, "Damn! "The Heavenly King actually issued a holy decree from the Heavenly King at this time, asking the two of them to return to Tianjing and exterminate the Jiangnan camp and the new Qing Demon Army in Jiangbei.

Isn't that a pipe drain! Just now, the Qing Demon Hunan army who dared to fight and kill was surrounded in this small city of Guichi, and if you grit your teeth hard, you can gnaw this hard bone, and you actually want to retreat and return to help yourself at this time! Li Xiucheng's mouth was full of bitterness, and his chest was extremely depressed, and Li Xiucheng's mood when Yue Fei was recalled by Song Gaozong's thirteen gold medals Li Xiucheng can now feel a few points.

"Brother, the king of heaven is also helpless, Zeng Guofan's musket team slipped to the bottom of Tianjing City, and fired a few shots at Xuanwu Gate, the princes in Tianjing City were frightened, and a rather powerful Qing Demon Army came from the north, it seems that they came to Luzhou Mansion, this grain road is threatened again, and people in Tianjing City are even more panicked, and they are restless day and night." Although Chen Yucheng was also a little helpless, he still opened his mouth to admonish.

"The capital is a cage on this day! The people inside don't want to come out! If it was changed to before, the army attacked everywhere, where is it now that it is so passively beaten, and if you eat some food, you will be pinched by the throat of the Qing demon! ”

This is not wrong at all, the capital of Nanjing has been fixed for a long time, and the discerning people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have finally seen these drawbacks. Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had established its capital in Nanjing, it was bound to put the task of securing Jiangning in the first place, and the focus shifted from attacking the henchmen of the Central Plains to defending Jiangning. Jiangning relied on the grain supply of Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei, and in order to ensure that Jiangning had to vigorously manage the Yangtze River valley and seize several strongholds in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Fearing the threat of the enemy to Jiangning, he automatically removed his own threat to Beijing. As soon as Beijing's threat was lifted, Jiangning's threat followed. It puts itself in the enemy's encirclement, gives the enemy a clear focus of attack, and gives the enemy time and opportunity to gather and annihilate. The enemy had both time and strength to set up an encirclement, and from then on, the Taiping army turned from offensive to defensive, and from the outside to the inside. Moreover, under the repeated siege of the Qing camps in the north and south, troops could only be transferred from other places to relieve the siege. When the Taiping army moved east to occupy Jiangning, the Qing troops from all walks of life also came separately and established the Jiangbei camp and the Jiangnan camp, forming a flanking attack and encirclement of Jiangning. After the establishment of the capital Jiangning, the primary military task is no longer to seize the world, but can only be how to relieve the Qing court of the two major military camps in the north and south of the trouble, whenever the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has something to do, they are in the base camp to contain and make trouble, now this is the case, the Western Expedition is trying to exterminate the Hunan army, and the Jiangnan camp is ready to move again, harassing Jiangning.

If the Taiping army occupies Jiangnan, holds Wuchang, and owns the thousand-mile strip from Wuchang to Nanjing, and the grain in the Jianghan Plain, which is known as the granary, it can not only ensure the logistical supply of Wuchang, Jiangnan and the front line, but also cut off the integrity of the Qing Dynasty's rule on the map: "The northern soldiers cannot cross the river to the south, and the troops of the two lakes, Liangguang, Sanjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang cannot cross the river and go north. Then the main force of the Northern Expedition, several ways to respond, with an invincible momentum to quickly occupy Beijing, this is like Zhu Yuanzhang to create the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years of reeds. Even if the success of the Northern Expedition cannot be ensured, it can be guaranteed to advance and retreat freely, so why should there be no response and no retreat for the Northern Expedition?
