On the morning of the 17th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, on the Li River outside the Pingle City of Pingle Prefecture, Guangxi, hundreds of small boats sailed and unfurled, and flags were also standing on both sides of the riverbank, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere was coming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of the Li River fleet, on top of a two-story ship, Feng Yunshan sat on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, surrounded by Li Kaifang, Liu Shengbang, Liu Changyou, Luo Qiongshu, Bai Huihuai, Liu Youqing and others.

"Okay, it's not too early, the soldiers are ready, a few of you should also get off the boat and return to the team, be careful to clear the demon ambush along the road, contact twice a day, and don't rush in one way!" Feng Yunshan ordered.

"Subordinates retire!" Li Kaifang, Luo Qiongshu and Bai Huihuai disembarked according to the order, leaving only Liu Shengbang and Liu Changyou brothers.

"Ahead is the world-famous Yangshuo landscape, Zimo can watch it along the way." Feng Yunshan said to Liu Changyou.

"Holy King, Changyou is lonely and unheard, and I have never heard of the famous landscape of Yangshuo?" Liu Changyou asked suspiciously.

"Haven't Zimo heard the poem 'Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin'?" Feng Yunshan asked strangely.

"Is there such a verse? I wonder who did it? Liu Changyou was even more puzzled, and asked in surprise.

No way! Confused. It turns out that this verse is unique to later generations. Feng Yunshan suddenly realized! couldn't help but be embarrassed, and explained: "Zimo, but this king made a joke and joked about such a limerick, which made Zimo laugh!" ”

"Where! The Holy King has an open-minded temperament, and although this sentence is popular, it can better express the meaning. Changyou was aroused, and he was looking forward to the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo that can surpass the mountains and rivers of the world. Liu Changyou said with a smile.

The fleet sailed upriver along the Li River and headed northwest in the direction of Yangshuo.

After announcing the start of Yongzhou's land reform policy, Feng Yunshan wanted to inspect the Yongzhou Mansion to see how the land reform policy was being implemented. Unexpectedly, seven or eight days ago, news came from the north that nearly 50,000 Qing troops had gathered in Changsha and began to attack the Taiping army led by Yang Xiuqing. The well-equipped Qing army killed nearly 50,000 Tiandihui rebels, and forced 40,000 Taiping soldiers back into Changsha City, besieging Changsha City.

Feng Yunshan was shocked when he received the report, he knew that the current situation of the Taiping Army was very unfavorable, and it was not good for him. Only when the Taiping army attracts the attention of the Qing soldiers can they bring more opportunities to themselves.

He didn't know if the Taiping Army would march in the direction of Yueyang and Wuchang as in history because of the butterfly effect he had caused. However, his influence on Changsha was not great, and the Taiping army would most likely continue to develop according to the original trajectory of history. Because, the king of the East who made the decision is still the Yang Xiuqing in history, all this has not changed.

But even so, there is not much time left for them, and if they cannot occupy Liangguang as soon as possible, the Taiping Holy Army will not have enough strategic capital to counter the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Originally, Feng Yunshan wanted to wait for He Lu and Huang Dingfeng to contact the anti-Qing forces of the Tiandihui in Guangdong and Guangxi, and then lead his troops to capture Liangguang in one fell swoop after they became stronger, but now the situation is critical, and there is no time to wait slowly.

Therefore, he immediately decided to leave Zeng Guanlan and others to continue to carry out land reform in Yongzhou Mansion, anyway, he has already set the basic framework, how to operate it to be more suitable for this era, and I believe that people in this era will do better than himself. He led the 2,000 veterans left behind in Daozhou and the newly expanded 3,000 recruits to march into Guilin, Guangxi.

At the same time, he also ordered Jiang Tianyi, who was stationed in the capital of Yongzhou, to lead his army to attack the border of Qiyang County in the northeast, and Peng Yulin to lead his troops to capture the border of Dong'an County in the southwest, completely occupying the entire territory of Yongzhou Prefecture. As early as when he came to Daozhou, he had ordered Liang Litai of Chenzhou to lead an army to capture Changning and Leiyang counties in Hengzhou. In this way, it can not only seize territory to expand its power, but also contain part of the Qing army's forces and slightly support the Taiping army in Changsha.

At this time, a messenger from Guangxi came to report that Li Kaifang, Luo Qiongshu, Bai Huihuai and others passed through He County from Fuchuan, where they met, and occupied Gongcheng County and Pingle Fucheng all the way. There were originally more than 1,500 Qing soldiers stationed in Pinglefu City, and under the leadership of the prefect and deputy general, they abandoned Pinglefu City early and fled to Guilin.

Feng Yunshan led 5,000 holy soldiers, passed through Yongming, Gongcheng, and Shungongcheng River, and arrived at Pingle Fu City. After joining forces, he immediately led his troops to advance by water, attacking Yangshuo and Guilin along the Li River.

In the afternoon of the next day, the army of the two routes of water and land arrived outside Yangshuo at the same time. According to the people outside the city, the magistrates and Qing troops in Yangshuo had abandoned the city three days ago and fled to Guilin.

It seems that the Qing army has been prepared. The defenders in Guilin should be people who know the soldiers, and take the initiative to shrink the scattered Qing troops in the surrounding prefectures and counties into the city of Guilin, ready to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

It's just that I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed. The main Qing army in Guangxi has pursued the Taiping army and entered Hunan, and if you want to wait for reinforcements in a short time, you can only wait from Guizhou and other places. It's just that Guizhou doesn't have many troops, and last year it had already sent thousands of troops into Guangxi to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army, and it was difficult to send troops for a while.

There is no need for detectives, Feng Yunshan also knows that the three main forces of the Qing army in Guangxi at the moment are the one in the provincial capital Guilin, the first in Nanning, and the one that entered the area of Luoding Xinyi in Guangxi from Guangdong to encircle and suppress the Ling Eighteenth Anti-Qing Righteous Army.

It is estimated that the Qing army in the entire Guangxi combined, almost more than 20,000 people. However, more than half of them are the green battalion urban flood control troops in these places in various counties, and they have no combat strength at all, and only the green battalion soldiers of the battalion directly under the standard association of less than 10,000 have a certain combat effectiveness. He led more than 20,000 holy soldiers and soldiers, and he would definitely be able to fight down.

Feng Yunshan secretly thought in his heart, and for a while, he was full of pride. The herald did not need to be stationed in Yangshuo County, and all the land and water armies rested on the spot, and set off again in the early morning of the next day, and they could arrive at the city of Guilin in three days.

"Holy King, Changyou is a little worried. Guilin City is the provincial capital of Guangxi, the city is high and thick, and the west is steep and dangerous mountains, and the east is built according to the Li River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. I heard that although there are not many Qing troops in the city, there are many firearms, and our holy army does not have heavy artillery, how can we win? Please also ask the Holy King to clear his doubts. Liu Changyou, who was on the side, saw that Feng Yunshan was full of pride and confidence, and couldn't help asking.

"If this king does not know about the army, how can he be sure of victory? But the king's 20,000 holy army brothers, fighting bravely for the first place, is the confidence to win! Feng Yunshan said with a smile.

Liu Changyou frowned and said, "Holy King, marching and fighting, you can't win with a loud slogan. Changyou suggested that the two counties of Yining and Yongning, which are adjacent to the southwest of Guilin City, could be occupied first, and at the same time, Guilin City could be besieged, and then heavy firearms could be mobilized to slowly figure it out. ”

"Zimo don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and if there is a road, there will be my holy soldier!" Feng Yunshan made a joke and didn't care at all.

Liu Changyou was helpless, so he had to shake his head and sigh, the Secret Dao Saint King is not a person who can't listen to opinions, could it be that the Saint King has a trick to win?
