Yang Xiuqing was a little surprised to receive Hong Xiuquan's will, Hong Xiuquan never showed up easily as the sect leader, which is understandable. As a mythical person, he naturally cannot have frequent contact with the outside world. Once the believers know that the King of Heaven eats, drinks, and sleeps like them, just like ordinary people, the aura of God on his head will slowly fade.

It has been a long time since the King of Heaven has asked about military matters, but this time it is an exception, when King Nan has an accident, the brothers are angry, and they naturally want to avenge him.

"What is the attitude of the Heavenly King?" Yang Xiuqing asked Chen Chengrong, who came to deliver the message.

Chen Chengying told the situation of the Heavenly King 1510. Yang Xiuqing understood that this Quanzhou seemed to have to be defeated, but the army was not ready to attack the city, and his heart was entangled. For Nanwang, Yang Xiuqing also respects it, after all, it was Feng Yunshan who brought them into the church back then, and everyone was very sad when he had an accident.

"Okay, call all the troops back and attack Jeonju." Yang Xiuqing gave the battle order.

"Yes." The herald was ordered to prepare to go and make an announcement.

"Wait, Yang Xiaoshan won't come back for the time being, let them stay where they are first." Yang Xiuqing thought about it for a while, if all the people came back, the loss would be too great, and it would be a waste of seven or eight days to come and go. Strive to solve the whole state as soon as possible, and the army is still in a hurry to go to Hunan.

However, Yang Xiuqing still overestimated the siege strength of the Taiping army. Although this state is small, the terrain is extremely high, and it is very difficult for the Taiping army to attack from the bottom up. The Taiping army originally had no siege plan, and the hasty siege was not well prepared, and it was not defeated for four consecutive days, but was scalded by the defenders of Quanzhou with hot tung oil, and burned many people.

Although Cao Zhizhou of Quanzhou is a scholar, he is fiercely loyal to the imperial court, and he knows that if this Quanzhou is lost, his head will also fall off. He sent Yang Yinghe, the general of the Quanzhou battalion, to lead 1,500 soldiers to defend the city wall, and recruited local villagers to stand guard in the city, and also burned dozens of pots of tung oil on the side of the city wall to defend the city.

In these four days, Cao Zhizhou finally waited for the reinforcements he was looking forward to day and night. Liu Changqing's general army and Hunan Governor Yu Wanqing led 7,000 soldiers to Luban Bridge on the outskirts of Quanzhou, which was still ten miles away from Quanzhou.

The two stopped advancing almost at the same time, looking at the Taiping army from a distance, watching the Taiping army attack the city. First, the two felt that their strength was not enough, after all, the Taiping Army had more than 15,000 heavenly soldiers, and there was a huge difference in strength. Second, the two have their own selfish intentions. Liu Changqing was frightened by the Taiping army a long time ago, and he didn't think about fighting a field battle that was not superior in numbers, and Xiang Rong let him grasp the movements of the Taiping army, but he didn't let him fight, and his 2,000 men were not enough for the Taiping army to fight.

Although Yu Wanqing, the governor of Hunan, brought 5,000 people, this is the boundary of Guangxi. He is a Hunan governor who is here to assist, but not to take the lead, his task is to prevent the Taiping army from entering Hunan, not to mention that Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang has long taken care of him, and he wants to keep more people for Hunan, don't fight all the people for Guangxi.

Cao Zhizhou of Quanzhou was anxious when he saw that the two did not come forward to help. Quanzhou City is already at the end of the crossbow, and it is almost impossible to support it. So he turned his heart sideways and wrote a bloody letter for people to bring to Yu Wanqing and Liu Changqing, and sent them a plea for help. But the remaining 10,000 people ignored it and stood still.

Although Yu Wan and the others did not act, Yang Xiuqing did not dare to ignore them, and still divided some troops to defend Luban Bridge, so that the manpower to besiege Quanzhou was even more insufficient. Yang Xiuqing knew that such an army as the Taiping Army could never be fixed in the field for a long time, and if he wanted to stay in a certain place for a long time, he had to conquer the city. Sooner or later, the army will be surrounded by officers and troops when it is exposed to the wilderness, and now there are reinforcements from the Qing army around, so it is necessary to capture Jeonju as soon as possible.

"Call Yang Xiaoshan back, let him rush to Quanzhou as soon as possible and participate in the siege." Yang Xiuqing reluctantly decided.

Yang Xiaoshan is staying in Lingyidu at the moment, and his observation in the past few days has made him feel that this place is very dangerous, because the river here is narrow, the banks are stacked with mountains, and the trees are towering, it is a very easy place to set up an ambush, once there is an ambush here by the Qing army, it is like strangling the throat of the Taiping army, and it is impossible to move here.

"What? Let's go back to Jeonju? Yang Xiaoshan received an order from the King of the East.

"Yes, my heavenly soldiers were blocked in Quanzhou, and the siege of the city was not down for several days, and the Qing army reinforcements arrived, and the king of the east asked the prince to go back to help." The herald replied.

If it was a few days ago, he would have gone back without saying anything, but since he saw the danger of the Lingyidu in front of him, Yang Xiaoshan didn't dare to give up here easily. As a pioneer, he must be firmly in control of such a dangerous terrain in his own hands.

"Please also return to the king of the east, the terrain of Lingyidu, where our army is located, is quite dangerous, it is a place where soldiers must fight, if it is taken by the Qing army, the Taiping army's road to Hunan will be cut off, we can't take such a risk. I also hope that the king of the east will understand Xiaoshan's painstaking efforts. Yang Xiaoshan rarely did not carry out Yang Xiuqing's order.

The herald looked at Yang Xiaoshan with strange eyes, the East King has always been the same in the army, no one dares to disobey his orders, Yang Xiaoshan is the first general he has encountered who refuses to carry out the East King's orders. When he changed to someone else, he immediately arrested the person and engaged in military law, but thinking that Yang Xiaoshan was the son of King Dong, he didn't dare to do so.

"Shizi, is this good? This is an order from the king of the east. The herald emphasized.

"The situation here is indeed special, please bring a message to Xiaoshan and explain the situation here, I hope Dongwang can understand." Yang Xiaoshan still insisted that he couldn't go back.

The herald went back a little unpleasantly.

Yang Xiuqing was very angry when he learned that Xiaoshan did not come back according to his orders.

"Why is Yang Xiaoshan so bold and his wings are stiff, and he doesn't listen to my orders?" The king of the east smashed the cup in his hand.

"Maybe the situation is indeed special, Xiaoshan should have his reasons." Lai Wenguang, the secretary of the East King, spoke for Xiaoshan, he was recruited by Xiaoshan, and his heart was a little towards Xiaoshan.

"You go and call him back, no matter what the reason, now the war in the whole state is the first, and the revenge of the king of the south must be avenged." Yang Xiuqing held back his anger and said.

"Yes!" Lai Wenguang knew the temper of the East King, and if it was someone else, it was estimated that he would have died a few times earlier, and the East King attached great importance to his authority, and anyone who dared to disobey him would not live long. For example, Qin Rigang, just because he didn't support him when he performed the Heavenly King's possession, he was secretly suppressed by the East King, and even almost sacrificed him in Longliao Ridge.

Lai Wenguang didn't leave for long, Yang Xiuqing called Yang Fuqing again, and instructed: "This king sent you to Yang Xiaoshan to serve as a supervisor, if he still refuses to come back, you bring my warrant to dismiss him and take him down, and you bring his team back." ”

Yang Fuqing is the younger brother of the Eastern King, Yang Xiuqing in order to consolidate his position in the Taiping Army, in the army recognized many people surnamed Yang's own family, their common characteristic is that they are extremely loyal to themselves. Yang Xiuqing placed them in various armies as supervisors or inspectors, and through them they understood the situation of the whole army and controlled the entire Taiping army.

Dongwang came to invite three groups of people in a row, and Yang Xiaoshan knew that Dongwang was really angry, so he had no choice but to bring the team back to Quanzhou.

As soon as he left on the front foot, Jiang Zhongyuan, an old acquaintance who had fought with them many times in Yong'an, came here with his troops, and he had just recruited another 2,000 regiments from Hunan. Seeing this Lingyidu, he was overjoyed like Lu Zhishen seeing the wild boar forest, and secretly said in his heart: "It's really a dangerous place, killing Changmao, and making contributions is here." ”
