Anhui is the western barrier of Tianjing, and most of Tianjing's military and food sources depend on it for supply, and it is the most important base area of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In just 32 days, he led 10,000 horses and horses to fight continuously, and fought for four or five hundred miles, dozens of battles of all sizes, and even went down to the four cities of Taihu, Qianshan, Tongcheng, and Shucheng, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luzhou, the center of Anhui.

Chen Yucheng, who was guarding Luzhou, didn't want reinforcements, but he was pinned down at this time. After the Tianjing Incident, the situation in northern Anhui changed greatly, and Miao Peilin, the second leader of the Red Pen Master in the Twist Army, rebelled, and he was reluctant to join the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the Alliance's advocacy, but at this time, seeing such internal strife in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he felt that the Taiping Army had no hope.

So Miao Peilin fought back, surrendered to the Qing army, brandished a butcher's knife, slashed at the old brother of the original twisting army, and shouted the slogan of "Royal Twist". The twisted army was caught off guard, never expected that Miao Peilin would be so treacherous, so that he suffered heavy losses and basically withdrew from northern Anhui, while Miao Peilin firmly occupied the Huainan area.

Another traitor of the Taiping Army, Li Zhaoshou, also took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and when the Taiping Army's faith was shaken, he relied on his old connections to rebel against many loose-willed people in the Taiping Army. After a frenzied expansion, he gathered a force of tens of thousands to recapture his hometown of Chuzhou.

The Taiping army had lost control of northern Anhui, so Chen Yucheng did not dare to go west to reinforce easily, once he left Luzhou, Li Zhaoshou of Chuzhou would definitely cut off his back road, and the situation would be even more critical at that time.

Chen Yucheng didn't move, but Li Xubin moved first, after taking Shucheng, he felt that the Taiping army was nothing more than that, and decided to fight forward, he wanted to wrestle with Chen Yucheng in Luzhou.

Although Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi both sent letters to him to be patient for the time being and wait for the army to come together, Li Xubin, who was eager for meritorious service, still took more than 6,000 Qing soldiers to move (because he had conquered four cities, and a part of the troops were assigned to defend the cities). His first point of attack was in the town of Trois-Rivières.

Sanhe Town is located at the junction of Shucheng and Luzhou, and is called Sanhe Town because it is located at the confluence of Fengle River, Hangbu River and Manger River.

The location of the three rivers is dangerous, the transportation is developed, the rice in the Chaohu Lake basin is concentrated here first, and then scattered and transferred to various places, the Taiping army took a fancy to this treasure land, specially built a city, hoarded grain and grass and military supplies, and was the material distribution center and logistics base of Tianjing and Luzhou.

Li Xubin couldn't help but think about this big granary, although he had laid down four cities, he hadn't replenished them yet, so he just took this opportunity to replenish them.

But when he got here, he still frowned, he thought that Mikawa was just a small town, and with his troops, he couldn't capture it.

But the fortifications of the Three Rivers made him feel that this place was not as easy to fight as he imagined.

The guard of Sanhe was Lai Wenguang, and he asked Yang Xiaoshan to help him transfer out of the East Hall and come to Chen Yucheng's account. The Tianjing Incident, a large number of elite members of the Taiping Army were consumed, and the officer positions were seriously vacant, and a scholar like him now had to lead troops to fight.

Chen Yucheng handed over Sanhe to Lai Wenguang, this is an important granary of the Kingdom of Heaven, Lai Wenguang is an old Guangxi brother, and Yang Xiaoshan recommended him, of course Chen Yucheng can trust him. Moreover, Lai Wenguang has a flexible head and is literate and hyphenated, which is the most suitable place to do such delicate things as logistics scheduling, and it can temper his ability to lead troops.

Sanhe has no city wall, Chen Yucheng's general Lan Chengchun had built a city here to defend, and after Lai Wenguang came, he built nine fortifications on the periphery, extending in all directions, and Sanhe Town, which was not dangerous to defend, was built into a small fort that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Lai Wenguang saw that Li Xubin's troops were coming violently, and he did not dare to hold it up, although he had 3,000 defenders, most of them were logistics teams, and their combat capability was not strong. The enemy came from the elite of the elite, and Lai Wenguang hurriedly sent a distress letter to Chen Yucheng in Luzhou.

Chen Yucheng received a distress letter and knew that the situation was not good, the enemy had arrived at the door of the house, and he had to be dispatched. And at this moment, the two news made him have no worries, and he was determined to eliminate Li Xubin, who had eaten leopard gall.

One piece of news is that Li Xiucheng, whom he invited, has already brought troops from Chaoxian County to reinforce him. Now the Taiping army has no leader, each fighting for itself, and no one can call anyone. Only Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng have worked together under Yang Xiaoshan's account for a long time, and they have already had a tacit understanding. Li Xiucheng received a letter from Chen Yucheng asking for help, and as a good partner, he immediately rushed over.

Another piece of news that Chen Yucheng absolutely did not expect, Li Zhaoshou, a traitor, suddenly killed forty-seven officials of the Qing court in Chuzhou, and came back anyway.

Chen Yucheng had just confronted this traitor for a while, and he didn't believe it when he received the news at first, but Li Zhaoshou handed over the forty-seven heads to Chen Yucheng as a certificate of nomination, and Chen Yucheng had to believe that Li Zhaoshou was indeed anyway.

How could Li Zhaoshou, a big traitor, suddenly rebel against the Qing court again, this is also related to Yang Xiaoshan, but the story in it is a bit twisty, and the ending is also something Yang Xiaoshan didn't expect.

It is said that after Li Xubin entered Anhui, the good news kept coming, which made Yang Xiaoshan a little surprised, but he didn't expect to lose the help of the water army, and Li Xubin, who only had 10,000 people, was still so able to fight.

Yang Xiaoshan couldn't sit still, he left a deputy historian to continue to examine Peng Yulin, and took another deputy historian to Anhui. Zeng Guofan couldn't afford to provoke Yang Xiaoshan, and when he saw that he was leaving, he immediately sent him off, and sent a battalion of Qing troops to protect his safety and send him to Anhui.

When he arrived in Anhui, Yang Xiaoshan analyzed the situation here and immediately realized Chen Yucheng's difficulties, because he was afraid that Li Zhaoshou would stab him in the back.

Yang Xiaoshan was full of hatred for Li Zhaoshou, he betrayed himself back then, was captured by the enemy, and made Hong Xuanjiao killed. At that time, Li Zhaoshou took refuge in Shengbao in northern Anhui, and Yang Xiaoshan was fighting Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he couldn't spare time to get him.

Now that he is the superintendent of the five provinces, he has come to Anhui again, and if he doesn't do it at this time, I'm really sorry for the opportunity God gave him.

Li Zhaoshou bullied men and women in his hometown in his early years, crisscrossed the township, and his character was very poor. He joined the Taiping Army because he wanted to speculate on the revolution and make a big official, but Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, found out his details and never used him, and his official position was also very small.

Later, after Li Zhaoshou used Hong Xuanjiao to flee and surrender to the Qing court, he still couldn't change his dog and eat. Yang Xiaoshan didn't bother at all, and found out that he had a lot of illegal things.

When Yang Xiaoshan threw Li Zhaoshou's incriminating evidence in front of Anhui Governor Fuji, Fuji sentenced Li Zhaoshou to death without hesitation. A long-haired rebel general is not worthy of his governor's protection at all, not to mention that the imperial history of the people who came to Anhui did not find some merits, and they did not find trouble for themselves, so the governor of Anhui was grateful to Dade and sold Li Zhaoshou without hesitation, and fulfilled Yang Xiaoshan.
