Shunde.

After hesitating for two days, Hu Qili, the general of the Governor's Standard, finally secretly sent someone out of the city to connect with the Taiping Army. That night, Song Ying, the envoy of Zhou Shixiang, entered the city from the south gate of Shunde, which was guarded by the superintendent.

After seeing Hu Qili, Song Ying was not polite to him, and said straight to the point: "So that General Hu knows that the soldiers under Geng Jimao's domain have all dispersed, and he himself has surrendered to my marshal, which will make people afraid that he has already entered Guangzhou." The original three-way army is now left with Shang Zhixin. However, General Hu should know that the Han army under Shang Zhixin is in Guangzhou City, and his cousin Shang Keyuan also surrendered to my family, so General Hu thinks that the Han army in Zhenghuangqi still has the heart to work for Shang Zhixin's son? ”

"My marshal asked me to tell General Hu that Shang Zhixin is a rabbit's tail can't grow, and there is only one dead end for you to follow Shang Zhixin, but if you return to Ming, it is not only a way to live, but also a great future!"

Saying that, Song Ying reached out and took out a few letters from his arms, and said to Hu Qili: "These letters were written by your former subordinates, oh, there is one from your own guard captain Blind Li, but he can't write, so he asked someone to write it for him." ”

Hu Qili took these letters like ashes, what the letters said was nothing more than persuading him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, he put down these letters after reading a few, sighed and said to Song Ying: "It seems that my subordinates are more comfortable in your Taiping Army than in me." ”

Song Ying smiled, glanced out, and said in a low voice: "My marshal said that as long as the general is willing to do it anyway, the lives of the people and horses you marked can be guaranteed, and the generals are all promoted to the first level, General Hu's side." My handsome family is even more reused! After a pause, he simply revealed the truth and said, "You might as well tell General Hu, if you are anyway." My marshal intends to let the general out of the town of Huizhou and protect you as the chief military officer of Huizhou to the imperial court! ”

"Huizhou? Have you taken Huizhou? Hu Qili was stunned, the Taiping Army's actions were too amazing.

Song Ying chuckled, shook his head and said, "My marshal wants General Hu to go to Huizhou by himself, and in the words of my marshal, he will fight his own territory." ”

"Do you want me to fight Huizhou?" Hu Qili's expression changed and he hesitated.

"How. Does the general feel that he can't beat Huizhou? Song Ying looked at Hu Qili quietly.

Hu Qili got up slowly, walked to the window and looked at the distance and was silent for a moment, then turned around and sat down after making up his mind. He said in a deep voice: "Capturing Huizhou is just a trivial matter for me Hu, but I don't know what your handsome family wants me to do?" ”

After hearing this, Song Ying relieved her heart and said: "My marshal wants the general to take Shunde and block Shang Zhixin and the Qing army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River. Don't let them escape to Zhaoqing. There is no need for the general to hold for a long time, as long as it takes three days, the marshal of my family will personally bring the troops over, and when the time comes, General Hu will not be tired, and our Taiping army will solve Shang Zhixin. ”

"Let me cut off the way of Shang Zhixin?!"

Hu Qili was taken aback, he thought that Zhou Xiu was going to raise the flag by himself and go to Guangzhou to vote for him anyway, but he didn't want the other party to take Shunde by himself. The way to break the letter of Shang.

This move was too thrilling, and Hu Qili was worried. The Right Route Army under Shang Zhixin had nearly 6,000 Qing troops, in addition to the 3,000 Han troops under the Pingnan Domain, there were more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers transferred from Zhaoqing, and there were also soldiers and horses of Kong Guozhi, the general soldier of Nanjiang and Jiangxi at the mouth of the Sanjiang Estuary, and others, totaling 10,000 people. And there are only more than 1,000 people under him, how can he stop tens of thousands of Qing troops! Even if the 3,000 Han troops did not dare to be enemies of the Taiping army because of their families, it was impossible and did not dare to fight those Zhaoqing soldiers and Sanjiangkou guest soldiers.

Zhaoqingbing is an elite soldier created by Shang Kexi's confidant Xu Erxian, and Kong Guozhi's gang even fought all the way from Jiangxi to Guangdong, and in terms of ruthlessness, they are no worse than Zhaoqingbing. They did not have their families to drag them down, in order to escape back to Zhaoqing, they would definitely attack Shunde desperately, and how could Hu Qili, who only had more than 1,000 soldiers, be able to hold for three days and wait until the Taiping army brigade arrived.

Moreover, this Shunde City is not only his more than 1,000 soldiers, but also more than 1,000 soldiers of Ge Mingyi, the general of the Green Battalion, and hundreds of battalions of soldiers in Zuoqing, so it is still unknown whether he can successfully capture Shunde, and where does Hu Qili dare to think about blocking the way of Shang Zhixin, and fighting hard with Zhaoqing soldiers and Jiangxi soldiers.

"Ever since I fell out with the Manchurians, I have always wanted to return to the Ming anyway, although I was ordered to join Hahamu's Middle Route Army, but you should also know that I have never fought against your Taiping Army. Your army completely annihilated Hahamu in Shenwan, so I deliberately did not participate in it, and I didn't stop you when you went to fight Guangzhou."

"These are all known to the marshals of my family, so they sent me to persuade the general to return to Ming. Now I only ask General Hu to give a sentence of accuracy, whether this Shunde city is dedicated or not? ”

Song Ying directly interrupted Hu Qili's performance and wanted to force him to make a decision.

Hu Qili hesitated, but still said: "Shunde City is now in charge of the political participation of Zuo Qing, and he and Ge Mingyi are unwilling to return to Ming. This Ge Mingyi has a reputation in the army, if he doesn't surrender, I can't do anything about him. Please also tell Zhou Dashuai that I, Hu someone, am willing to return to Ming, but I can only lead the headquarters to Guangzhou, and I can't stay in Shunde to block Shang Zhixin for him. ”

"The green battalion soldiers in the city all listen to Ge Mingyi?" Song Ying was a little unconvinced.

"The battalion soldiers in Shunde are all soldiers brought out by Ge Mingyi, these people are only looking at him, my people can't intervene, if I really want to fight with him, I don't have a full chance of winning." Hu Qili also told the truth, he was really not sure about solving Ge Mingyi.

Song Yingqi said: "Could it be that General Hu's people can't pack a group of garrison soldiers?" As far as I know, the general's superintendent is the best in the Guangdong Green Battalion. ”

Hu Qili smiled bitterly and said: "This is to blame for your Taiping army, you beat my superintendent too badly, the horse team and the artillery team have told you to eat, my soldiers are not as energetic as before, let them go to fight the battalion soldiers in Shunde, I'm afraid it will be hanging." ”

Song Ying frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "If it doesn't work, get rid of Ge Mingyi first!"

"Get rid of Ge Mingyi?!"

Hu Qili was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said again and again: "No, never, if you kill Ge Mingyi, his battalion soldiers will fight hard with me." ”

"If you don't kill Ge Mingyi, the general won't be able to control Shunde, and if you can't control Shunde City, you won't be able to block Shang Zhixin's way, so why should my marshal persuade the general anyway, and why should he give Huizhou to the general!"

Song Ying's face showed a ruthless color that was completely different from his, "If you break it, you will break it, if you don't break it early, you will suffer from it!" General Hu, listen to the next sentence of persuasion, seek wealth and danger, if the general can't block Shang Zhixin, I'm afraid my marshal will look down on the general. ”

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

Hu Qili thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and he didn't dare to agree, Song Ying was earnest, seeing that Hu Qili was hesitant and anxious, he still couldn't make up his mind after urging the other party a few times.

Seeing this, Song Ying could only tell the bottom of the matter, and he said: "Actually, I'm afraid the general is not afraid of Ge Mingyi and his battalion, but afraid that he won't be able to hold Shunde City." ”

Hu Qili didn't speak, but the look on his face was acquiescing to what Song Ying said.

Song Ying secretly sneered and said, "General Hu doesn't have to worry about defending the city, and Shang Zhixin is not without people who are willing to cooperate with our Taiping Army." ”
