"In the cold autumn of independence, the Xiangjiang River goes north, and the orange island is headed. Look at the mountains red all over, the forests are dyed; The river is clear and transparent, and hundreds of boats compete for the stream. The eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars to the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost compete freely。。。。。。 Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the dung was ten thousand households. Have you ever remembered that when you hit the water in the middle stream, the waves curb the flying boat. Cheng Xueqi checked the file and found that Yang Xiaoshan used the "empty city plan" in Hangzhou at that time to read the poem on the city tower.

This poem Cheng Xueqi is too familiar, when he was under Yang Xiuqing, he used this poem to imply that Yang Xiaoshan had the ambition to seize the world, to drive a wedge between Yang Xiuqing and Yang Xiaoshan. (See Chapter 176)

"If Chang Shan is Yang Xiaoshan, everything will be easy to explain, this Chang Shan used this word to identify Li Xiucheng outside the city and send a code. What empty city plan? It's acting! Cheng Xueqi pondered in his heart, and he figured out everything.

Cheng Xueqi was not satisfied with discovering this big secret, and he continued to dig deep into the people related to Yang Xiaoshan. Yang Xiaoshan is so important that if a gap is opened in him, any small discovery will be a great achievement.

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

Outside the city of Chuzhou, on the Great Plains, there are three groups of people. The attacker is Miao Peilin, the defender is Li Zhaoshou, and the theater party is Yang Xiaoshan.

Miao Peilin led 30,000 Miao troops to attack Li Zhaoshou's Chuzhou City, Yang Xiaoshan had promised him that if he took Chuzhou City, he would be named the chief soldier in the city, and all of them would shave their hair and change into Qing army clothes.

Li Zhaoshou and Yang Xiaoshan also issued orders to him in the name of Shengbao, as long as Miao Peilin was eliminated, he could officially join the Qing army. Although Li Zhaoshou secretly won the victory at this time, he did not change his clothes, and now he is still under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

And Yang Xiaoshan took Shengbao's 30,000 Qing troops in Henan, in the name of providing support to both sides, to Chuzhou to watch a play.

It turned out that General Wang under Shengbao came over and said: "Chang Dutong, the handsome banner of the criminal minister Shengbao will be given to you at the end?" ”

How could Yang Xiaoshan let him change the handsome flag, at this time he came under the banner of Shengbao, and said with a sinking face: "No need, when the two sides are about the same, Mr. Wang must seize the opportunity to serve these two gangs of bandits!" ”

Wang Zongbing was a little incomprehensible, although he didn't know about the transaction between Yang Xiaoshan and Miao Peilin, but he knew about Li Zhaoshou, and immediately reminded: "Chang Dutong, this Li Zhaoshou has already taken refuge." ”

Yang Xiaoshan snorted coldly: "Li Zhaoshou, a villain who is in the middle of the day, how can Ben Dutong let him play with the court upside down, and destroy him here today!" ”

After sending away General Wang's soldiers, Yang Xiaoshan called Wei Jun, "Brother, after this battle, you will take Chen Yucheng and them south by boat along the Yangtze River to Shanghai." Wait for my signal, you take 1,500 brothers and our own brothers directly into Miao Peilin's camp, don't let him run away, this guy has killed the king of England. Li Zhaoshou handed it over to me, I asked for his head, and I took the other half of my brothers to avenge Xiwangniang. ”

Wei Jun looked stunned, knowing that this was the last battle before the separation, and he was facing an enemy who betrayed the British king, "Big brother, don't worry, Miao Peilin, this rabbit cub will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Miao Peilin's army was lined up on the west side of the battlefield, and he, the old fox, didn't want to fight Li Zhaoshou to the death, but now Yang Xiaoshan brought 30,000 Qing troops to help him, which gave him confidence.

He has not been fighting Li Zhaoshou for a year or two, knowing that Li Zhaoshou's team is vulnerable and the team with the worst combat effectiveness, Li Zhaoshou even accepts the big smoker, so you can imagine his military strength. He was not eliminated before, mainly because Miao Peilin did not want Chuzhou, which was too close to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But at this time, he had to attack, because Yang Xiaoshan's words were very sharp, if he didn't eliminate Li Zhaoshou, the Qing army would not accept him, and now Tianjing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been surrounded by the Hunan army, and if he doesn't surrender, he is afraid that he will be wiped out. Miao Peilin decided to sell his strength and take Li Zhaoshou as his name in front of Yang Xiaoshan, at least in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth.

On the other hand, Li Zhaoshou also had the same thoughts, seeing that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was no longer good, and whether he could catch the last shuttle bus of the imperial court at the last moment depended on this scene. He also knew that his combat effectiveness was not good, according to the past, he would definitely shrink behind the city wall to defend, but he thought that these 30,000 Qing soldiers were here to help him, so he had the courage to go out of the city to meet Miao Peilin, he pondered that he was 50,000 horses, 20,000 more than Miao Peilin, no matter how it didn't, it would not be swallowed by Miao Peilin, not to mention that there were 30,000 reinforcements in the north.

In this battle, Miao Peilin and Li Zhaoshou both thought that the Qing army brought by Yang Xiaoshan was their own people, and they were kept in the dark.

So outside Chuzhou, a final showdown between chameleons was staged.

Miao Peilin faced off against Li Zhaoshou, both sides were the main force, and they wanted to show their hands in front of the future master.

Miao Peilin's combat effectiveness was superior, and Li Zhaoshou was superior in numbers, and this contact was basically a tie. The two armies are entangled and indistinguishable, and both sides are constantly reinforcing each other. The two armies fought to the death, and immediately the blades of the horses flew over, and blood was splashed.

Yang Xiaoshan stood on the high slope in the north and watched, watching this big scene, how happy he was in his heart, his eyes were beating with flashing flames, and the more fierce the battle, the happier his mood became. Neither side is a thing, it's good to fight it all out.

I have to say that Miao Peilin and Li Zhaoshou have never worked so hard in this battle, Miao Peilin, the old fox, has been changed to before, and he has already withdrawn after so many deaths, he is the one who attaches the most importance to preserving his strength. And Li Zhaoshou, like Miao Peilin, is a soldier in his hand, which is his confidence and the capital for all parties to negotiate, and he would have died of heartache for losing so much. If it weren't for the banner of the Qing army, he would have withdrawn a long time ago.

"Big brother, Miao Peilin and Li Zhaoshou are sending us signals that they want to support, what should we do?" Wei Jun came over to report.

"Wait a little longer, let them fight more." Yang Xiaoshan was still silently calculating the strength of the two sides in his heart, and he could fight for another half an hour.

"Why hasn't Chang Dutong come to support yet?" Miao Peilin was a little anxious, more than half of the casualties were lost, and the Qing army was watching from the north, unable to live or die.

"Shall we withdraw, then?" His nephew Miao Jingkai asked.

"Can't withdraw, this Li Zhaoshou is estimated to be dying, you take all the reserves to press over, even if you don't support it, we can destroy Li Zhaoshou!" Miao Peilin gritted his teeth.

And Li Zhaoshou is also issuing the same order, all the reserves are on board, because he can't withdraw, with his understanding of his own team, as soon as he withdraws, the army will be defeated, and the 50,000 army will be gone.

Yang Xiaoshan also saw that both sides had staked all the old foundations, so he ordered Wei Jundao: "Wei Jun, you go and inform General Wang and ask him to bring all the people to the top, whether it is Miao Peilin or Li Zhaoshou, all of them will be annihilated." Yang Xiaoshan pondered that these 30,000 Qing troops would also be consumed, after all, they were soldiers under Shengbao for many years, and it was estimated that it was impossible to go to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with him, so it was better to consume these Shengbao's dead friends here.
