Originally, I thought that Wu Chaoyue would definitely attack the Taiping Army on the south bank first, and rescue Feng Sanbao, who had been surrounded by Li Xiucheng for nearly two months, Yang Youqing, who was forced by Li Xiucheng to lead the troops to participate in the decisive battle in Nanjing, also always believed that he could safely avoid the Jiangbei wall and watch the wind, but what Yang Youqing never expected was that after Wu Chaoyue came to the Nanjing battlefield with the third route Wu Army's Eastern Expeditionary Army, he would choose to land on the beach in the Qiaolin area, and first aimed his gun at the Taiping Army on the Jiangbei battlefield. suddenly forced Yang Youqing, who was still hesitating, to the point where he had to make a choice as soon as possible.

There was another thing that surprised Yang Youqing, just after confirming that the Wu army had landed on the north bank, Hong Xiuquan suddenly sent someone to send a holy decree, first commending Yang Youqing for his loyalty in leading the army back to Nanjing, and crowning him as Bei Tianyi, and then ordered Yang Youqing to hand over the army to his subordinates for temporary command, and followed the envoy to Nanjing to meet Hong Xiuquan and participate in the combat meeting presided over by Hong Xiuquan himself.

If it weren't for the report that the Wu army had just received the north bank of the beach, Yang Youqing would definitely act according to the order without saying a word, but there was no way, the Wu army had already begun to land in the Qiaolin area, and the Jiangbei battlefield was in an emergency, and Yang Youqing's troops stationed in Pukou had to be ready to attack and reinforce the friendly forces at any time, and they had to prevent the Wu army from taking advantage of the situation to attack the Pukou camp without the protection of the city wall. Therefore, Yang Youqing could only be very sorry and said to the messenger of the decree: "Please return to the angel Long live the king of heaven, the demon soldiers have begun to land in Qiaolin, Weichen must be ready to fight, I really dare not leave Pukou at will, please long live the king of heaven for forgiveness." After the situation on the battlefield in Jiangbei is stabilized, his subordinates must immediately cross the river and plead in front of the Heavenly King. ”

The eyes of the envoy seemed to be a little strange, and he said with an embarrassed expression: "Bei Tianyi, long live the king of heaven, but he personally asked you to participate in this meeting, and if you are also small, you must go back, saying that today's court meeting is related to the fate of the kingdom of heaven, so can you temporarily hand over the army to your subordinates to command, and cross the river with the small one first?" Don't worry, I won't delay you much, and I won't miss your big event. ”

"But I really don't dare to leave Pukou now?" Yang Youqing said even more embarrassed: "Let's not say that Atianyi's side may ask me to send troops and reinforcements at any time, even if Atianyi's side doesn't want me to send troops, I don't dare to leave?" Pukou here is different from Jiangpu, Jiangpu is a city with a city wall protection, Pukou is just a town here, all rely on the moat wall to resist the demon soldiers, I crossed the river to participate in the court meeting, at least I have to come back until midnight, what if the demon soldiers come to fight Pukou during this period? ”

"With your subordinates leading the army to guard, Bei Tianyi, you don't feel at ease?"

The envoy asked again, Yang Youqing was a little hesitant, but just when his heart began to waver, Yang Youqing, who was quite fine, suddenly found that the eyes of the envoy of Hong Xiuquan who came to announce the decree seemed to be a little wrong, and his eyes wandered away and he had been quietly observing the movements around him, as if he was peeking at something. Yang Youqing suddenly had doubts in his heart, and after a little calculation, he shook his head and said: "Angel forgiveness, my subordinates are inexperienced, and no one can deal with such a complicated situation, so I can only ask the angel to forgive my sins to the King of Heaven and the palm of the hand for me, I really dare not cross the river today." ”

The envoy persuaded Yang Youqing, who had already discovered that the situation was wrong, but flatly refused, and said that if it was inconvenient for the envoy to proclaim the decree, he could send an envoy to cross the river on his behalf to apologize to Hong Xiuquan and Meng Shiyong. As a result, it was only after sending away this messenger that Yang Youqing called his most trusted pro-soldier captain in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Is there a leak about the secret contact between the demon soldiers and me?" ”

"What?" The captain of the pro-soldier paused for a moment, and then said: "Impossible, the envoy of the demon soldier has always been a small person in charge of reception, and the people who come into contact with him are the general's personal soldiers, so it is impossible to leak the news?" ”

"Long live the king that day, why did he have to let me cross the river?" Yang Youqing asked rhetorically, and then said, "Didn't you notice just now that this messenger sent by the Heavenly King Long Live is a little strange, as if he is guarding against us?" ”

Yang Youqing reminded him, and the captain of the pro-soldier finally found out that something was wrong, so he quickly nodded and said: "Yes, the messenger of the Heavenly King just now is a little wrong, as if he has been peeking at the actions and reactions of the villain and the villain's subordinates. ”

Yang Youqing stopped talking, and said coldly after a while: "It's not right to name me Bei Tianyi, I have already come to Tianjing King Qin with the army, long live the king of heaven to praise me, I should have made an edict a long time ago, how could I suddenly make this holy decree today?" If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the secret contact between the demon envoy and us has already leaked out, and Long Live the Heavenly King has already become suspicious of me. ”

"What then?" The captain of the pro-soldier of the same sect as Yang Youqing hurriedly asked: "If the news really leaks out, Long Live the Heavenly King will definitely not let go of you, Seventh Brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Yang Youqing's expression was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time before he hesitated and said: "Look at the wind again, make a decision now, I'm so sorry for our cousin Yang Fuqing, and I'm sorry for our family in Tianjing City." ”

The captain of the personal army, who was also in Nanjing, agreed, and then, according to Yang Youqing's request, while strengthening the secret surveillance of the self-army, he sent a large number of people to probe the battle situation in Qiaolin and understand the strength of the Wu army and the progress of the war.

Yang Youqing sent people to investigate the battle situation in Qiaolin, the purpose of course was to find out whether he had the strength to fight in front of the Wu Army's Third Route Eastern Expeditionary Army, but to Yang Youqing's disappointment, the Wu Army Land Division did not fight with the Taiping Army under Xue Zhiyuan who guarded the Bridge Forest from beginning to end, and the Wu Army's naval division, which was too strong, directly defeated the Taiping Army's beachhead defenders by relying on naval artillery bombardment, and the Navy Commando quickly took the beachhead with minor casualties and set up a temporary dock for the Wu Army Land Division to land. During this period, Xue Zhiyuan never sent troops to reinforce Qiaolin, and watched the Wu Army's land division land on the north shore, so Yang Youqing never knew what the combat effectiveness of the Wu army's land division was, and what equipment it brought.

"It's troublesome, if the demon soldiers hit Jiangpu first, it's okay to say, I can continue to wait and see the situation, but if the demon soldiers come to hit Pukou first, my trouble will be big."

When Yang Youqing secretly complained in his heart, there was an accident, Xue Zhiyuan, who was guarding Jiangpu, also sent someone to contact Yang Youqing, inviting Yang Youqing to meet with him in Jiangpu City to discuss the specific details of joining forces to meet the Wu army, Yang Youqing did not dare to leave the army easily, so he could only continue to choose to refuse. However, when the words came to his lips, Yang Youqing's heart moved again, and he changed his words and said to Xue Zhiyuan's envoy: "Please reply to Tianyi, just say that the enemy is current, the military situation is changing, and it is inconvenient for me to get up in Jiangpu City." But I plan to go to the front line to personally inspect the enemy's situation, and if it is convenient for Tianyi, I will meet him at the Xue Family Land Temple at three o'clock this afternoon, and discuss with him there the specific matters of joining forces to meet the enemy. ”

The envoy sent by Xue Zhiyuan agreed, and hurriedly flew back to Jiangpu City to report to Xue Zhiyuan, but it was only after the envoy left that the captain of the pro-soldier who had been guarding the side asked: "Seventh brother, why did you agree to go to the Xue Family Land Temple to meet Xue Zhiyuan?" What if he is prepared to work against you by the secret decree of the King of Heaven? ”

"I just want to test what the King is going to do." Yang Youqing said viciously: "If Xue Zhiyuan is really under the secret order of the Heavenly King, and is ready to trick me out of the camp to my detriment, then he will definitely have some actions in the Xue Family Land Temple!" Then we know everything about whether the King of Heaven knows about our secret contact with the Demon Soldier Messenger, and what he wants to do when he repeatedly tricks people into leaving the army! ”

The captain of the pro-soldier suddenly realized, and quickly nodded to show that he understood, and then Yang Youqing commanded again: "In a while, you will take a few absolutely reliable people to the Xue Family Land Temple, let someone put on my clothes and pretend to be me, see what Xue Zhiyuan does, and if you find that the situation is wrong, come back immediately!" ”

"It's ......."

The captain of the same sect's personal soldiers was afraid that the task was too dangerous, and some did not dare to agree, Yang Youqing saw his thoughts, so he commanded again: "There are still eight demon fire palm thunders in our army, you bring them all with you, save your life." In addition, all the people you bring with you will bring a burst of short foreign guns. ”

The captain of the pro-soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and then apologized for agreeing, and then hurriedly made the corresponding arrangements, the pro-soldier captain took a few reliable subordinates who were armed to the teeth, and a pro-soldier who pretended to be Yang Youqing out of the camp, and hurried to the Xue Family Land Temple in the southeastern suburbs of Jiangpu City, waiting for Xue Zhiyuan's reaction nervously.

When Shen Shi arrived at four o'clock in the afternoon, a team of Taiping soldiers under the banner of Xue Zhiyuan came to Jiangpu, and a smiling knight rode first, and came to the fake Yang Youqing and others first, saying loudly that Xue Zhiyuan had arrived, and asked Yang Youqing to come out to meet, and Yang Youqing's personal captain was careful to greet him, while whispering to everyone not to dismount, while pointing to the fake Yang Youqing and saying: "My general is here." ”

"The villain has seen General Yang."

The messenger sent by Xue Zhiyuan hurriedly saluted the fake Yang Youqing, and said that he wanted to go back to report to Xue Zhiyuan, and asked Yang Youqing to wait, the fake Yang Youqing nodded and agreed, and Xue Zhiyuan's envoy turned the horse's head and went back to report the news, but after turning the horse's head, Xue Zhiyuan's messenger suddenly turned around, raised his hand and showed a Colt revolver, without saying a word, he fired three shots at the fake Yang Youqing, the fake Yang Youqing was shot in the chest and screamed, fell off the horse and died on the spot, the real Yang Youqing's personal captain was shocked and angry, and immediately pulled out his gun and fired back. Xue Zhiyuan, who had been prepared for a long time, had already galloped away, and most of the bullets fired by the captain of the personal army and others did not hit the target, but only injured the envoy of Xue Zhiyuan who assassinated the fake Yang Youqing.

Then, of course, the Xue Zhiyuan army, which was outnumbered, shouted to pursue the fake Yang Youqing and others, in view of the critical situation, Yang Youqing's personal soldier captain did not have time to take away the corpse, so he could only quickly take his subordinates to flee for his life, during which there was indeed a team of Jiangpu Taiping Army suddenly appeared in front of Yang Youqing's personal soldiers to intercept it, fortunately, Yang Youqing's personal soldier captain was well prepared, and without saying a word, he smashed out the only few bitter acid grenades, and directly blew out a bloody road to rush to life, and fled back to Yang Youqing's army defense area in embarrassment and luck.

When the captain of the pro-soldier brought the news back to Yang Youqing, of course Yang Youqing had no choice but to roar loudly: "Hong Xiuquan, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" Dare Xue Zhiyuan assassinate me! You have been unkind to me, and don't blame me for being unjust to you! ”

Then, Yang Youqing, who had been mentally prepared, immediately took action, while letting the reliable army surround the commander's tent, while summoning his generals to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss, announcing on the spot that he had decided to lead the army to surrender to the Wu army, and asked the generals under his command to indicate on the spot whether to follow the attitude, but when the two obstinate generals expressed their opposition, Yang Youqing also unceremoniously personally shot the disobedient general, and forced the generals to comply by force, and then temporarily put the unreliable generals under house arrest. On the other hand, he sent someone to contact Wu Chaoyue in a hurry, asking Wu Chaoyue to send troops to take over his army and camp.

Let's take a look at the situation on Xue Zhiyuan's side, in fact, like Yang Youqing, Xue Zhiyuan also did not take the risk of assassinating himself in his own land temple, so after his subordinates brought the fake Yang Youqing's body back to Jiangpu City, Xue Zhiyuan realized that the situation was not right, and roared loudly: "This is not Yang Youqing?" How is it a fake? ”

"Brother Xue, could it be that the news has leaked?" The subordinates who participated in the mutiny analyzed: "Yang Youqing found out that we were secretly in contact with the demon soldiers, and suspected that we wanted to give him to the king of Zhennan as a gift, so he sent a fake to test us?" ”

"It must be so!" Xue Zhiyuan made a decision, and then Xue Zhiyuan had no choice but to hurriedly shout: "We must do it immediately, first let my direct army secretly surround the Tianyi Mansion, prepare to do it, and then call all the generals with troops to a showdown!" If you don't want to go with me, tell him to go with my Heavenly Father! ”

A few trustworthy subordinates promised to arrange a reliable army to secretly surround Xue Zhiyuan's Tianyi Mansion, and at the same time sent people to order the generals of each battalion to let them all enter the city to meet Xue Zhiyuan in the name of holding a meeting. The result was okay, everything was going well, all the generals of the Jiangpu Taiping Army in each battalion and base entered the city one after another and entered Xue Zhiyuan's trap, but just when all the people arrived at Qi Xue Zhiyuan to prepare for a showdown, someone suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that Hong Xiuquan sent a messenger to fight the golden dragon flag and directly entered Jiangpu City, and wanted to meet with Xue Zhiyuan immediately and promulgate Hong Xiuquan's secret decree.

"Let him come in, it's also a meeting gift for our Zhennan King."

Holding the mind that mosquitoes are also meat, Xue Zhiyuan still agreed to meet with Hong Xiuquan's proclamation envoy, but the proclamation envoy was overjoyed when he saw the generals of the various battalions of the Jiangpu Taiping Army present, and immediately said: "Answer Tianyi, great, all of them are here, here is a secret decree of the king of heaven that only you can see, please read it now, and then arrange it as soon as possible." ”

"Long live the secret decree of the King of Heaven that only I can see? What do you mean? ”

Xue Zhiyuan was confused, and then took Hong Xiuquan's so-called secret decree and took a closer look, but Xue Zhiyuan was dumbfounded on the spot, because Hong Xiuquan's so-called secret decree meant that his spies found that Yang Xiuqing's own family Yang Youqing was secretly in contact with Wu Jun, and there was a possibility of betraying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and asked Xue Zhiyuan to take advantage of the advantage of stationing troops in Jiangbei with Yang Youqing, trapping or directly killing Yang Youqing with a strategy, and incorporating Yang Youqing's army, saving the Kingdom of Heaven from danger, and supporting the building to fall ......

"This ......, that and that?"

It took Xue Zhiyuan a lot of effort to say such a sentence, but the envoy of Hong Xiuquan over there also urged: "Answer Tianyi, please arrange it quickly, you can't delay it any longer, it may be too late if you delay it any longer." ”nt
