The fall of Tianjing had a huge spiritual blow to the Taiping army, and Zeng Guofan attached great importance to Yang Xiaoshan, and sent most of his men to stare at Yang Xiaoshan all the way. Bao Chao kept staring at it, and Zeng Guoquan was also sent to pursue it together. Wu Ruxiao's team broke through all the way and was beaten everywhere, if it weren't for the fact that this was a team with a majority of old brothers from Liangguang, it would have collapsed under this huge blow.

Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renxuan led the team to the vicinity of Suzhou and stationed in a hidden place in the wild. Due to the fact that the enemy was outnumbered, the disparity in strength was too large, and it was necessary to ensure Yang Xiaoshan's absolute safety, before leaving Jiangsu Province, the Taiping army lost more than half of it, and its morale was very low.

"Wang Lvshuai used the excuse of asking for food, it's been almost a day, and he hasn't come back yet, there is no news, I'm afraid he has deserted." Hong Renji hung his head and said dejectedly, Wang Lvshuai was his subordinate, and he couldn't think of the moment of tribulation or couldn't stand the test.

"Don't blame them, now it's a catastrophe and flying separately, we have to hurry up to rectify and rectify." Wu Ruxiao has seen too many such situations over the years, and it is no wonder.

The two were bowing their heads and sighing, and suddenly a team came from a distance, it was the Taiping Army, a familiar military flag, and a familiar turban. Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renji were very surprised, where did the Taiping Army come from near Suzhou? Let's go up together and see what is going on.

"King Gan, King Gu! I'm late. It was none other than their old acquaintance, King Li Shixian, and his team followed the sentinels that King Gu had placed outside to patrol.

Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renji were overjoyed, "Ah, the king, I finally have you here." ”

Li Shixian's face turned red and said, "I'm ashamed." I took with me only about 5,000 brethren. ”

It turned out that Li Shixian was ordered to go to his base camp in Jinhua, Zhejiang, and was ready to lead troops to save Tianjing. As everyone knows, there was chaos in his base camp, and Wang Haiyang, the king of Kang, was afraid of the strength of the Huai army, and led his troops south to Fujian. He originally belonged to Shi Dakai's command, but later broke away in Guangxi, and went to Jiangxi to vote for Li Xiucheng, and after Tianjing was besieged, he was assigned to Li Shixian's banner. Wang Haiyang is a typical "foreign general", who joined halfway, has limited loyalty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and only cares about his own team and power.

In history, when Li Shixian was besieged in Zhangzhou, he urgently ordered Wang to rescue, Wang did not want to save his strength, Shixian was defeated, Wang was afraid of crime, and at the same time worried that the military power was seized by Li, so he assassinated Li Shixian. The arrival of Yang Xiaoshan changed the fate of Li Shixian, he and Wang Haiyang completely parted ways, and came north to pick up Yang Xiaoshan, the king of the east, but invisibly saved his own life.

"It's not about the soldiers, it's about the fine, and now the ones who are willing to follow you north are the most loyal warriors in the kingdom of heaven." Gu Wang felt that it was better to have fewer people, but more people would easily expose the target, which was not conducive to concealment. But the addition of these 5,000 men and horses was too timely for them, because the loss of troops along the way was too serious, and if there were fewer people, I was afraid that even those township regiments would come to the ground. More importantly, Li Shixian, as a fierce general, let him be safer after the break, Gu Wang is old, and his body can't bear it in continuous combat, and he also has to protect Yang Xiaoshan, and he lacks skills, although the king is very knowledgeable, but the ability to lead the troops is really a little weak, and he can't resist the surging Qing soldiers, Li Shixian's arrival solves their urgent needs.

"This time, I also brought good news." Li Shixian said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"What's the good news?" King Gu and King Gan said in unison, Tianjing has fallen, morale is low, and there has been no good news for a long time.

"Luo Xuan and I got in touch, and they prepared a ferry to Taiwan in Jiaxing, as long as we can reach Jiaxing, we can completely get rid of the pursuers." Li Shixian said with a smile.

"Oops, that's great. Outline brothers have gained a foothold in Taiwan? Wu Ruxiao is very relieved about Luo Outline, since he played in Guangxi, Luo Outline and Yang Xiaoshan have been partners together, and the relationship is absolutely ironclad. Moreover, Luo Outline went to Taiwan because Yang Xiaoshan gave him the idea, and he also funded a lot of silver and food for him to open up the situation there as soon as possible.

"Yes, he bought three small steamers, anchored in the name of a foreigner's transportation company in Hong Kong, doing legal business and illegal business, relying on the triangular trade between Taiwan, Shanghai and Hong Kong, he has accumulated a lot of belongings, and now he is very powerful in Kaohsiung, with a very strong fleet. But all this is going on in secret, and the identity has not been revealed, and when our East King passes, we will raise the banner again, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the Qing Demon can't control it for the time being. Li Shixian said excitedly, as long as Yang Xiaoshan arrives in Taiwan, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will definitely be able to make a comeback.

"Look at me, how is the East King's injuries now? Listen to your sentry say that his injuries were severe, but his life was saved. Li Shixian patted his head, patronized and talked to Wu and Hong, and forgot to meet Yang Xiaoshan.

"Still asleep, I woke up once in a while, and soon passed out again. Dongwang lost too much blood, but fortunately he was strong enough to carry it. If you want to fully recover, you have to rest for a few more days, so don't disturb him and let him rest well. Wu Ruxiao replied.

"It's okay, the kingdom of heaven can't live without the East King. You two go first, and I'll come to the back of the temple. "Li Shixian took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the palace." Zhao Shishuai, you lead the way for King Gu and King Gan. We returned the same way, and our destination was Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and we had to hurry over. ”

Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renji nodded, with the addition of Li Shixian, the safety factor is much higher, and the previous depressed mood is swept away, and they are full of confidence in the future again.

In fact, the Taiping Army was still overly optimistic. The Hunan army pursued closely behind, and the Huai army also discovered the movements of this Taiping army and copied it from the western bread.

Immediately afterwards in the areas of Wujiang, Pingwang Town, and Jinghu, Li Shixian fought with the Hunan army many times and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Wu Ruxiao protected Yang Xiaoshan and arrived safely at the beach in Jiaxing.

"King Dong, you've finally woken up." Wu Ruxiao was just about to change Yang Xiaoshan's medicine, and when he saw that Yang Xiaoshan was slowly trying to get up, he cried with joy.

"Old Wu, where are we? How long have I been dizzy? Yang Xiaoshan seemed to have recovered a lot, and his face was already bloody.

"We have already arrived in Jiaxing, and Ganwang is leading people to contact Luo Outline and them in front to prepare to go to Taiwan. You've been fainting on and off for three or four days, but now your body has recovered. Wu Ruxiao took the water cup and handed Yang Xiaoshan a glass of water first.

"That's great, everything is going according to plan, what about the show adults? Why isn't he there? Yang Xiaoshan didn't know that they had separated.

"After King Zhong broke through the siege, he met the team of Yang Fuqing, the auxiliary king, and they took the young king away, and King Zhong also followed them, and he asked King Gan to report to you. You're in a coma again, and our two teams are separated. Wu Ruxiao replied.

When Yang Xiaoshan heard this, his heart was half cold. He knew that according to history, the Young Heavenly King and Li Xiucheng were caught in the end, and the two were both killed, and he wanted to take them with him, so that he could change history, but he didn't expect that something went wrong.

"King Dong, there are still a few corn tortillas here, you are hungry, please pad your stomach first." Wu Ruxiao knew that Yang Xiaoshan hadn't eaten for a few days, so he must be hungry.

Yang Xiaoshan was really hungry, and he didn't have time to think about anything else, so he grabbed the tortilla and devoured it.

"Dongwang, are you awake? Good news, the Ganwang and Luo Xuan's fleet have been contacted, let's hurry over. A herald rushed to report.
