"The Jade Dragon Pass is a dangerous pass, and thousands of people may not be able to conquer it. There are too few people under Xiaoshan, which is not appropriate. Shi Dakai hurriedly relieved Xiaoshan.

"So the king decided to let Xiaoshan lead the army alone. Previously, he recalled the villagers, broke through the Qing demon camp in Luanling, rescued the siege of the ferry, and purchased gunpowder, and he made a lot of contributions. This king has decided to promote him to the general system, do you have any opinions? "Yang Xiuqing actually planned to give Yang Xiaoshan a promotion a long time ago, and this moment is the best opportunity. The general system is already the highest among the foreign officials, and the honorary titles above do not affect the actual control of the troops.

If Yang Xiaoshan's title was only below the kings in the past, and now he has been promoted to the general system, then his military position is only under the kings, and he is a veritable seventh person in the heavenly kingdom.

To be honest, this promotion is indeed a bit big, and there are too many old qualifications in the army. In the past, some small old military leaders would definitely raise objections, but at this time, no one dared, this is the moment of life and death in the kingdom of heaven. People who are promoted to this position are going to die in Yulong Pass, and no one is so ignorant that they will come to dismantle the stage now.

"Xiaoshan, would you like to?" Yang Xiuqing saw that others stopped talking, and asked Xiaoshan.

After capturing Zhou Xineng, Yang Xiaoshan knew that Dongwang was going to lift himself, but he didn't expect to cash in so quickly. It was so sudden that he was a little caught off guard. It is a good thing to be promoted, but the soldiers under him were not summoned so quickly, and he was a little embarrassed: "It is Xiaoshan's honor to be favored by the king of the east, and Xiaoshan is duty-bound." But it's too difficult to recruit soldiers at this time, and you can't recruit so many soldiers at a time. ”

"It's simple, a few of you each draw a thousand elite soldiers to Xiaoshan, and the problem will be solved." Yang Xiuqing had thought of a way early in the morning, and he looked at the kings around him.

"There's no problem on my side. Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian were originally found for me by Xiaoshan, and they are very capable. Although I am a little reluctant, Xiaoshan needs them more here, and tomorrow I will let the two of them lead the team to Xiaoshan. Shi Dakai was the first to speak.

"I'll let Luo Xuan go here, the two of them were originally partners, and they cooperated well, and I have no problem here." Xiao Chaogui thought for a while and said.

"My twelfth brother Wei Jun was already by Xiaoshan's side, and I will give another 1,000 elite soldiers." Wei Changhui was secretly proud in his heart, fortunately, he had already made arrangements, Yang Xiaoshan really soared into the sky, his younger brother was next to him, and this credit was much better than following him.

"Although Chen Yucheng was a grain officer in the front army, he still belonged to the leader of our rear army in terms of establishment, and he had a good relationship with Xiaoshan. I'll also be a favor, let Chen Yucheng go to the hill too. Feng Yunshan already knew that Chen Yucheng was Yang Xiaoshan's hardcore, even if he didn't mention it, Chen Yucheng would come to him at that time, so it was better to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Yang Xiuqing was a little surprised, originally he thought that all the kings would shirk it, after all, at this difficult moment, every army is short of people. I didn't expect to get enough men and horses for Xiaoshan so quickly, 4,000 people don't sound like much, but in fact, at this moment, the Taiping army can go to the battlefield with less than 20,000 people, Xiaoshan has mastered one-fifth of the strength of the whole army at once, and they are all elite soldiers of all armies.

"I didn't expect Xiaoshan's popularity to be so good, you all supported it, Xiaoshan, you don't thank you much." Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but glance at Xiaoshan a few more times.

"Thank you princes, Xiaoshan will live up to his mission, take the Jade Dragon Pass, cut through thorns and thorns for the kingdom of heaven, and open a passage." Yang Xiaoshan stood up and arched his hand.

========================

Contrary to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, these days Sai Shoufu swept away the gloom of the past and sent the emperor the good news of victory almost every day. He was able to make up the results of the victories that he didn't have, not to mention that now the Qing army does have the upper hand and conquered many Taiping army camps, and Sai Shoufu has more materials to give full play to his strength in writing war reports. After all, Xianfeng hemorrhage has given so much support, how can people spend money at least listen to it.

Sai Shousuke's writing is indeed good, and he writes all kinds of victories vividly and vividly. Emperor Xianfeng has also brought a lot of joy and encouragement to his will recently.

When Saishan'a handed over the excerpt of "The lonely city of the bandits, the army gathers in Yong'an, and the city of Guangfu Prefecture will be conquered on the same day", Xianfeng agreed to his request for a reward of two million taels of silver after breaking through Yong'an and exterminating the bandits.

"Admiral Xiang, when will my army be able to break through Yong'an?" Seshana came every day or two to ask this question, and he was anxious to report to Xianfeng.

Xiang Rong is already unbearable, but he is the first assistant, and the official level crushes people to death. He could only politely reply: "My army will be able to conquer Longhu Ridge in a few days, and we can directly bombard Yong'an City by setting up cannons here, and the bandits will not be able to jump for many days." ”

"That's good, that's good." Saizan nodded again and again, Xiang Rong did not live up to his expectations, there was new progress every day, and the Qing army on the map had already compressed the Taiping army in a small circle.

"Lord Shousuke, Xia Guan feels that it is even more important to prevent the bandits from abandoning the city and escaping." Xiang Rong frowned, he had fought with the Taiping army many times, and they could always find a gap to break through, which was what he was most worried about.

"This is absolutely not allowed, the bandits must not be allowed to escape, they must all be eliminated in Yong'an." Saishan Ah shook his head again and again, he had already boasted on Xianfeng's side that he had completely destroyed the bandits, once the bandits ran out, he was afraid that he would be scolded to death by Xianfeng, and he would definitely not spare himself.

"From the point of view of the lower officials, it is very likely that the Taiping army will take the Yulong Pass in the northeast direction and break through to Hunan. Where there are many anti-thieves, their strength will increase greatly when they get there. "Xiang Rong is not a veteran, his analysis is very sophisticated, he imagines himself as the Taiping Army. He also felt that going to Hunan was a very good choice, of course, he didn't think that Nanjing was the final destination of the Taiping Army.

"Then we have to make arrangements as soon as possible, and we must not let the Taiping Army run away again this time." Sai Shoufu hurriedly said, he prayed in his heart: "There will be no more accidents this time."

"Xiaguan has already made arrangements, and I asked General Hechun to take 3,000 people to secretly cross the Mabei Ridge in the northeast and go to Yulong Pass to support the defenders there. So it's foolproof. Xiang Rong was really experienced, he guessed the direction of the Taiping army's retreat, and made arrangements in advance.

"Kazuharu? Your newly promoted commander-in-chief? It's full of people. "Saishan'a is curious, Xiang Rong and Ulantai have always been at odds, how can they use Manchu now?

"Yes, he is from the Yellow Flag. It turned out that he was just a general, but recently he has performed very well and made a lot of military achievements, and I promoted him to the chief soldier. Xiang Rong reported that this was also Xiang Rong's inner little Jiujiu, and he knew that the emperor did not like to reuse Han people. Rather than being taken away by Ulantai in the end, it is better to promote a Manchurian by himself and let him receive the credit, so that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, at least Hechun will be grateful for his kindness.

Cezanne has been in officialdom for so many years, how can he not see this, he smiled and said nothing.

Xiang Rong's old face flushed, and he changed the topic and said: "The Jade Dragon Pass was originally guarded by more than 1,000 people, and if He Chun joins forces with him, it will reach more than 5,000 people, and the Jade Dragon Pass is a dangerous pass, and it is absolutely impossible for the Taiping army to escape again." Of course, the fortresses in other directions, for the sake of safety, the lower officials also sent reinforcements, and this time the bandits are difficult to fly! ”
