When the army is really defeated, the Taiping Army of the North Road, which was once strong and strong, will completely become a headless fly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In particular, the troops at Tongguan divided the route, and scattered like a swarm of bees -- the Taiping Army on the North Road of the Western Expedition, after the death of Zeng Lichang, faced with the situation of cutting off the back road, immediately broke up.

The local commanders and division commanders in the army elected Liang Zuoshan as the leader, broke with Huang Yiyun, the king of Luo, and the two sides even fought directly under Tongguan, and then tens of thousands of Henan Taiping troops fled all the way to the north. The Qing army guarding Tongguan took the opportunity to attack the Taiping army under the city, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops were defeated.

A gang here, a cluster there, threes, threes, twos, twos, and northeast of the Wei River are full of defeated and fleeing Taiping troops. These Taiping troops, who were still aggressive and wanted to seize Xi'an and occupy Guanzhong, were all in tatters, with a disheveled head and a scruffy beard, and some of them only wore a pair of rag shoes with their toes exposed, and the headscarves on their heads were even more fancy, some were red cloth in the early days, and some people made a piece of blue cloth and black cloth casually, and some even broke the flower cloth and tied it on their heads...... If it weren't for the big swords, spears, or even foreign guns in his hands, it would be obvious that they would be called Hanako.

King Yu is dead!

King Luo wants to use Henan people as cannon fodder again!

Master Liang, who once won the trust of King Yu, almost let King Luo cut off his head, and he had no choice but to flee north. Here, the Qing demon also attacked from the city and broke the camp.

These back roads were cut off, and even the Taiping army of the Western Expedition, which had run out of grain and grass, finally could not support it, and was finally defeated at Tongguan, leaving about 10,000 people, who turned around and fled to the Weibei area one after another -- Liang Zuoshan, who had previously led 20,000 Henan Taiping troops, fled to Weibei.

The Taiping army, which scattered like water dogs, can be said to be hungry and cold along the way, and has suffered a lot. At this point, the so-called rules have been thrown out of the clouds, and they often fight to the death for a bag of grain, a pig, and a horse, and the so-called "pioneering" has naturally become a crime of robbing homes and houses.

On the official road that had been in disrepair for a long time, hundreds of rout soldiers shook over, walking in front of the head with a big knife pinned to the back, with a rag wrapped around his head, and the blood path soaked out from under the rag, and at a glance, it looked like a few earthworms hanging on his cheeks.

A little man called out to the man:

"Brigade Marshal, I really can't walk, just sit down and take a breath."

Before the brigade commander could speak, another wounded soldier with his arm hanging scolded again:

"You've lived enough, kid, what's up? That Zhao demon head is behind our ass, let him catch and skin you! Pumped your tendons......"

The head of the Zhao demon in the mouth of the wounded soldier is naturally Zhao Ziyu who captured Tongguan, since the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army in Tongguan, the surnamed Zhao sent troops to chase them and kill them all the way, not to mention the surname Zhao, that is, those who were frightened by the Western Expeditionary Army did not dare to go out of the city of the regimental exercises, which will also be like a big cigarette one by one, swarming up, and began to beat the water dogs, along the way, I don't know how many brothers lost their surnames in vain. ，

The little man coughed, and immediately scolded loudly:

"his grandmother, skinning is death, starving and breaking your intestines is death, running and breaking your leg is also death, horizontal and vertical is death, I'm afraid of a bird!"

The Taiping Army, who hung his arms, said with a gray face.

"I never dreamed that we would be able to get to this point."

But no, when they laid down Tongguan, what a scenery, at that time only thinking about laying down Xi'an City, sitting firmly in the pass, but who would have thought that the dream was not finished, it made people fight back to their original shape. For a moment, everyone stopped talking, but sighed silently.

Suddenly, a man shouted as he pointed into the distance.

"Look, what's that?"

The crowd looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a faint town there, and some smoke was rising from there.

The brigade commander with the cloth on his head looked at the town, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly:

"There is salvation. Brothers, work hard, let's get food. ”

Everyone swallowed a few mouthfuls of spittle and came to their senses. The little man even raised the big knife in his hand and said:

"One day, the water and rice didn't hit the teeth, and the front chest was attached to the back of the back, and this time Lao Tzu could eat a cow in one meal."

"That's it, what the hell, these Shaanxi guys are not things, when Lao Tzu is full, he has to burn everything here with a fire......

"Don't cut it, you have to keep a few girls, this mother-in-law in Shaanxi is not bad......"

"Say yes......"

Everyone didn't have the strength to laugh, but they just stepped up and walked quickly towards the town. It was only a few bags of cigarettes, and the cries of the people came from the town that had previously seemed so peaceful, and the smoke of the cooking rose from it, and it all changed its appearance—into billowing smoke.

Almost the whole town was set on fire, and the edge of the town was full of fleeing people—for a few rations, for a stomach, and the defeated soldiers did not mind killing all the people of a village in order to get what they needed.

Amidst the cries of the people, the firelight and the wanton laughter of the routs......

On the road in Weibei, which had been in disrepair for a long time, a large group of people and horses slowly moved along the official road, and Liang Zuoshan, who was riding on the horse, occasionally looked up at the team around him, and drove the horse forward slowly, while Li Tianyang beside him was silent, thinking about his own thoughts. When they arrived at the gate of a courtyard, Li Tianyang's guards stepped forward and said that they would rest here, and the two of them got off their horses and entered the courtyard one after the other.

"Master Liang."

Li Tianyang leaned in front of Liang Zuoshan's eyes and said,

"Our brothers count the books you read and have many ideas, and these brothers can all point to you."

stopped in the courtyard, but Liang Zuoshan was silent.

Now he doesn't have any idea at all, what next?

So now their lives have been saved, and they have been persuaded to cross the Yellow River, enter Shanxi, and return to Henan from Shanxi, but what next?

What happens next?

Why do these people push themselves to be leaders? Is it really because you have a lot of ideas? Of course not, it's because they don't accept each other, it's because they can't accept each other as the leader, so they push themselves out, but that's okay, at least their lives are saved. If he stayed in the camp, maybe within a few days, the surnamed Huang would find a reason to cut off his head.

Li Tianyang said mysteriously:

"Master Liang, I have an idea, why don't you always refer to it?"

Li Tianyang has not read any books, he has always been known for his boldness, and he dared to take a twist to the county seat many years ago, he is bold and suspicious. Now that he has an idea, it's not surprising.

Glancing at him a little strangely, Liang Zuoshan said:

"Ming San, what do you have in mind?"

Glancing left and right, seeing that there was no one around, Li Tianyang said.

"Otherwise, let's be Song Jiang! Murder and arson! Now our brothers are also considered to be strong soldiers, and if we recruit An, we may ......."

"Maybe the government will be used as cannon fodder when the time comes."

Glancing at Li Tianyang, Liang Zuoshan said quietly.

"Song Jiang, what is the result of Song Jiang?"

If others can descend, can they descend themselves?

At the beginning, he accompanied the prince to break through the Beijing Division, in case the government investigates it, then his own life will be difficult to protect! "But, Master Liang, even if we return to Henan, if we ......."

Li Tianyang looked at the master and continued.

"What should I do if Tianjing is investigated? After all, we tore our faces with his surname Huang! ”

It wasn't just as simple as tearing his face, everyone was still working with him under Tongguan.

"That's why we have to rush back to Henan as soon as possible."

Rolling his eyes, Liang Zuoshan said:

"Before him, stabilize the situation in Henan first, as long as we can stabilize Henan before him, there will be room for maneuver at that time......"

"Roundabout? What do you do to maneuver? ”

Li Tianyang looked at Liang Zuoshan puzzled.

"As long as Henan is in our hands, we will have room for maneuver!"

Just like when he left Beijing, Henan gave Zeng Lichang room to bargain with Tianjing, and in the end, didn't Tianjing still crown him king? If he didn't have anything, he would return to Tianjing empty-handed, and I was afraid he wouldn't even be able to save his life.

"What if those people in the area don't stop by then?"

It's naturally a good thing to be able to return to Henan and be able to take the rest of the territory, but how can those people listen to them?

"The one surnamed Huang, but the king of Luo in Tianjin, what do we have?"

This was what Liang Zuoshan was worried about, but now he couldn't show any worries. Instead, he just spun around in place a few times, without words.

Li Tianyang followed him and said.

"When the time comes, if those people don't listen to us, then they will ......"

"Ming San, your words hit my heart. But our brothers must understand one thing, only when there is territory, there will be military rations and salaries, and with these can we keep the 20,000 horses under our command. ”

That's where it matters!

Without people, without territory, there is nothing!

"As long as we can keep Henan, when the time comes, whether it is Tianjing or the government, we will have room for maneuver, even if they don't want to see us, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay. We can also get in touch with Wuchang, and when the time comes, hand over Henan, how can Han Governor not accept us? ”

As if comforting Li Tianyang, Liang Zuoshan said again.

"Ming San, you put your heart in your stomach with peace of mind, you remember, as long as you have soldiers in your hands, you won't be able to treat us badly when you get there."

This loss is temporary, how can the surname Huang be worthy of the big guy? Glancing at Li Tianyang, Liang Zuoshan let out a long sigh.

"The most important thing now is that we must return to our hometown in Henan as soon as possible with the team."

With another long sigh, Liang Zuoshan continued:

"If you go back late, you won't be able to lose all your money, and it'll be too late to say anything." (To be continued.) )
