"Congratulations to King Nan for regaining two humerus arms. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, with the left army of the Wing King, the King of the South will not be powerless to fight back. Zeng Guanlan followed Feng Shaoguang into the big tent.

"Don't be too happy too early in Guanlan! Although the Dapao and Luo brothers serve me as brothers and are willing to vote for me, but what about the other holy soldiers of the left army, it is inevitable that there will be people installed by the king of heaven and the king of the east. For example, the name of the kingdom has been decided today, the king of heaven is the co-lord of the kingdom of heaven, and the king of the east is the ruler of the kingdom of heaven, and he has supreme power, which is difficult to shake. Feng Shaoguang frowned and sighed: "For now, we should only protect ourselves, wait for the opportunity, and get away from the two Heavenly Kings and East Kings." Is there any news from your heavenly uncle? ”

"There has been no news from Tianyangbo's side recently, so there shouldn't be any major incidents." Zeng Guanlan replied respectfully.

The Tianyang Uncle in the mouth of the two is named Zeng Tianyang, only the two of them know that Zeng Tianyang is the cousin of Guanlan, and he is also the Zeng family of Dachong of Bauhinia Mountain, and he passed on to a family surnamed Zeng in Xinwei when he was young. When the king of heaven passed through Xinwei, he rested at the Tianyang home, so he was friendly to the heavens, and has now left him by his side to serve as the royal forest guard, with the same position as the deputy general.

In the early morning of the next day, Feng Shaoguang was accompanied by Lu Qi and left the camp. Feng Shaoguang looked at the Xiangjiang River flowing not far away, and remembered the fateful place of Feng Yunshan in history, so he asked Lu Qi to find someone to inquire about how far away Lingyidu was.

After a while, Lu Qi came back and said that the place where they were stationed last night was called Wuli Pai, and Lingyidu was less than three miles northeast of here.

Unexpectedly, it was so close to this fateful place half a month later, so Feng Shaoguang led Zeng Guanlan, Liang Litai, Lu Qi, and others to go out of the camp to observe the terrain around Lingyidu.

Lingyidu is a small ferry port on the side of the Xiangjiang River, located in the northeast of Quanzhou City, along the Xiangjiang River down the river for about 123 miles, after Lingyidu along the Xiangjiang River and then more than 50 miles to the north, in the Huangsha River Wei, that is, it enters the boundary of Hunan, so it is also a military important place.

At that time, it was early summer, Feng Shaoguang and others were standing on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, the breeze was coming, and it was refreshing. Further ahead, the river surface suddenly turns sharply, an abrupt mountain ridge stands on the riverside, the mountain ridge is shaped like a lion, can be more than 300 meters high, the dense forest is deep, the terrain is dangerous, the throat of the river is stuck, the river surface is narrow, less than 100 meters wide. The lion-shaped mountain range is two miles in circumference, and the foot of the mountain near the river in the east is a cliff dozens of meters high, which is directly inserted into the river water. The surface of the river turns sharply from north to east, the current is turbulent, the river is not deep, and it is extremely dangerous for passing boats. The whole ferry outside the big trees and shrubs, especially the east bank of the ferry, the mountains are steep, and there is only a small mountain road that can be passed.

Zeng Guanlan saw that the terrain here was dangerous, and his face couldn't help but change, and said: "This place is extremely dangerous, and it is a heavy ambush for soldiers. If a ship passes by, beware of a battalion lying in ambush here, blocking the river, intercepting the passing boats here, and then attacking with artillery, rockets, and slings on the lion-shaped ridge, it will be completely defeated. ”

Feng Shaoguang nodded, secretly thinking that although Zeng Guanlan was a scholar, his vision and sense of war were good. What he said was basically what Chu Yong led by Jiang Zhongyuan did in history.

Jiang Zhongyuan, a native of Xinning, Hunan, was originally a scholar, and it was the Yaomin rebellion and the Taiping Army uprising that gave him a stage to display his talents. Feng Shaoguang, who was familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty, especially the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, knew that Jiang Zhongyuan had heard that the Taiping army had withdrawn from Guilin, so he led more than 1,000 "Chu Yong" from his hometown more than 100 miles away to rush to the mountain road in the Dayao Mountains on the border between Hunan and Guizhou, and hurriedly went to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River to lay an ambush. He took wooden stakes in the middle of the river, intercepted passing ships, and bombarded them with mountain artillery, especially the powerful nine-section bronze cannons and firecrackers, which led to the most embarrassing defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The elite soldiers and baggage of the Heavenly Kingdom were lost, most of the ships were destroyed, and they could not attack Changsha from the waterway, and the most important thing was that Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, was also buried in the river, and there were no bones.

Now, Feng Shaoguang knew Jiang Zhongyuan's plan in advance, and of course the defeat of history would not let it repeat itself. However, Jiang Zhongyuan's Chu Yong is strong and strong, and his combat power is amazing, and how to deal with it still needs to be carefully planned. Moreover, Feng Shaoguang knew that this Jiang Zhongyuan would be active in the forefront of suppressing the Taiping Army in the next few years, and if he could kill or even capture him alive this time, it would be regarded as removing a henchman.

In addition, Feng Shaoguang was a little entangled in whether to take this opportunity to weaken the forces of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King. But he only thought about it for a moment, and then rejected the idea. The Eastern King of Heaven has always been an internal dispute, and the biggest enemy is still the Manchu court. Now there are not many soldiers in the Kingdom of Heaven, and they are all elite veterans of Guangxi who have been fighting for a long time, if the loss is too large, it will be extremely unfavorable to the entire Kingdom of Heaven. Before separating from the Heavenly King Dongwang, weakening their strength was weakening his own strength, and Feng Shaoguang knew this very well.

The rear army began to withdraw the camp and return to Quanzhou City, Feng Shaoguang, surrounded by Zeng Guanlan and Lu Qi, left Lingyidu, returned to the barracks, and walked slowly with the army.

Before noon, when Feng Shaoguang saw Quanzhou City, more than 500 people from the latter army led by Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tianguanzheng, were already stationed in the field two miles outside the city gate, and they were in a position to besiege Quanzhou City.

When Qin Rigang led the latter first army to withdraw from Guilin, he was in charge of the rear palace, and Feng Yunshan led the women's battalion and boy battalion that were organized into the second army, the third army, and the fourth army, as well as the Heavenly Baggage Battalion, and other tail to walk in the middle, and the other departments walked in the front. The king of the east ordered the return of the army to Kequanzhou, and the last army became the front line, reaching Jeonju City first.

Zeng Guanlan came to report, and Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tianguanzheng, came to see. For this person who has the biggest official position in the Kingdom of Heaven at present, except for the six kings of Shouyi, Feng Shaoguang can't be lazy, not to mention that this Qin Rigang is also Feng Yunshan's old acquaintance.

Qin Rigang's real name was Qin Richang, and he changed his name to Rigang because he avoided Wei Changhui, the king of the north. The Hakka people in Guixian County were originally miners in the mountains, who were nearly 30 years old and could not afford to marry a wife, and struggled with a hard and poor life like other miners. At that time, Feng Yunshan went to Pingzaishan to preach, got acquainted with Qin Rigang, and led him to join the church with other miners. However, after he got acquainted with Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, he quickly took refuge in the king of the west under the intentional attraction of the king of the west, and then entered the line of the king of the east and became the high-level of the kingdom of heaven.

Lu Qi led a tall and straight yellow-robed man in, his face was dark, but his eyes were bright, it was Qin Rigang.

Feng Shaoguang took two steps forward, pulled up Qin Rigang, who was saluting, and said with a smile: "Brother Rigang has worked hard to block the pursuing soldiers for the Heavenly Kingdom. ”

Qin Rigang hurriedly replied: "Thank you King Nan for your compliment." Qin's duty is to reject the demon for the Kingdom of Heaven, for the King of Heaven and the King of the South, and it is incumbent on him! He added: "King Nan, I heard that you were injured by the Qing Demon Artillery in Quanzhou City, and Ri Gang was very worried. Fortunately, it was okay to see it today. Tomorrow, Qin Mou and his brothers will break this Quanzhou city and kill all the demons to avenge you. ”

Feng Shaoguang nodded, "Brother Rigang has a heart." What is the movement of the Qing Demon in the city of Jeonju? ”

Speaking of Quanzhou City, Qin Rigang frowned and said, "King Nan, this morning Qin led his troops to arrive outside the city and captured 3 Qing demon spies. The interrogation learned that the three people were soldiers led by Wu Changxian, the head of the Qing demon in Baoqing, Hunan, who was taken prisoner during the march. Wu Changxian led the Baoqing Association to aid Guangxi, passing through Quanzhou, and more than 400 people from the department had already entered the city this morning. In addition, it was also inquired that there were only more than 500 Qing demon soldiers in the city, and they were led by Cao Xiepei, the head of the Qing demon, and Yang Yinghe, the general of the Quanzhou battalion. Now with reinforcements, there are nearly 1,000 demon soldiers in the city. It seems that the Qing Demon wants to defend the whole state. ”

"The Qing Demon reinforcements took the initiative to enter the city to assist in the defense, and they were indeed going to resist to the death. There are not many more than 1,000 Qing demon soldiers, but I think that although this Quanzhou city is not small, but the east and south of the city are not far from the water surface of the Xiangjiang River, and it is impossible to set up a siege formation, there are natural barriers, and more than 1,000 Qing demon people only need to focus on guarding the two city walls in the northwest, and the strength is barely enough. Our army only has a few Lu buses and some siege equipment such as ladders, so I am afraid that we will not be able to break the city immediately. ”

"What the King of the South said is extremely true! Qin's troops were insufficient, and they were listed in the west and north of the city, because the east and south of the city were blocked by the Xiangjiang River, Qin only sent people to monitor from a distance for the time being. The officers and men of the battalion are cutting down trees and making some ladders and other equipment. ”

"The Japanese brothers commanded decently, and Yunshan was very pleased. However, looking at the thick walls of this Quanzhou city, forcibly attacking the city may cause a large number of damage to the holy soldiers of our heavenly kingdom, and the west and north of the city are all fertile soil, unlike the rocky city of Guilin, it is better to use the method of breaking the city in the crypt. Ri Gang can order someone to find a hidden place tonight, dig a hole under the city wall, and then detonate it with a large amount of red medicine, and it will be broken. Feng Shaoguang thought that in history, the Taiping Army had broken countless cities in this way, so it was better to take this Quanzhou City as the first experiment.

"Order! The Japanese platform will be handed over immediately. The southern king's strategy is far-reaching, and the Japanese gang is convinced. Qin Rigang chatted a few more words, and then went back to the camp to arrange.

Feng Shaoguang walked out of the barracks and under the leadership of Lu Qi to a bush by the Xiangjiang River not far away. Last night, Feng Shaoguang told Lu Qi and other guards to look for an evergreen shrub---- oleander. Unexpectedly, Lu Qi reported it today and found that there was a riverside not far from Quanzhou City, so he came to identify it in person.

Feng Shaoguang was originally from Hunan, and only went to work in the coast after graduating from university. He remembers that there are many oleanders growing on both sides of the Xianggui Railway along both sides of the Xiangjiang River, which are evergreen in all seasons and have flowers at any time, which is a beautiful scenery outside the window when taking the train. Oleander is native to Iran, India and other countries, and was introduced to all parts of China in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. Feng Shaoguang wondered if Quanzhou would have it in this area, but he didn't expect him to guess it.

In a large area of dark green shrubs, mixed with many pink buds, swaying in the wind, its neck is like bamboo, and the flowers are like peach blossoms, which is exactly the oleander that Feng Shaoguang is looking for.

Feng Shaoguang ordered Lu Qiling's personal guard battalion to look around again, and found this kind of oleander shrub, so he asked the female battalion and Paiwei to carry firewood, knives, ropes and other things to cut down a large number of oleander branches and leaves, and after drying them in the shade, they were collected into the baggage cargo and stored.
