Chapter 104: Changes in Qingzhou
"Lord, lord!"
Gao Chang and Dugu Jialuo Zhang Ning tossed all night before falling asleep, and at this time, Chen Xuanli's cautious voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Chang is a person who practices martial arts, and although Chen Xuanli's voice was very soft, it still woke Gao Chang up from his sleep.
Being woken up from his sleep, Gao Chang suddenly felt a little unhappy, but he thought that Chen Xuanli was cautious on weekdays, but now he was so reckless, he was afraid that something big would happen. So he quietly got up and got dressed, covered the quilt for the second daughter, and walked out of the door lightly.
"What's wrong?" Gao Chang walked out of the door and said in a low voice.
Chen Xuanli bowed and said softly: "It's Mr. Fengxiao who is here, and he said that something big happened in Qingzhou!" ”
Hearing that it was the situation in Qingzhou, and then thinking of Hong Xiuquan and Chen Sheng, who had entered Qingzhou in the past, Gao Chang couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Quick, go to the Hussar General's Mansion quickly!" ”
Chen Xuanli bowed and said, "No! ”
。。。。。。。。。。
Hussar General Xingfu, Guo Jia, Zhang Xun, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Huo Quai, Gao Changgong and other civil and military officers have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Gao Chang coming, Guo Jia hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and reported: "Lord, General Le Yi has just been in an urgent hurry for eight hundred miles, saying that there is a big mess in Qingzhou!" ”
Gao Chang strode up to the first seat and asked, "What's wrong?" It's coming! ”
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "My lord, a few months ago, a person named Hong Xiuquan suddenly appeared in Qingzhou, who was very good at demagoguery, and founded a "God Worship Sect", claiming to be the great god of the Yellow Heaven, and successively annexed Chen Sheng, Chao Gai, Liu Wuzhou and other rebel forces, and in just three months, he developed seven or eight hundred thousand believers. ”
Fang Xuanling said: "That Hong Xiuquan saw that the time was ripe, and summoned the believers to rebel on the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of this month, and all the counties responded one after another. Nowadays, Qingzhou has been lost except for a few counties such as Beihai State and Qi County. ”
Gao Chang shook his head helplessly and sighed: "This Qingzhou Thorn Shi Shen Jun is really a waste, the seven counties of Qingzhou have almost all been lost in less than ten days!" ”
"Shen Jun is not fake, but more importantly, because Hong Xiuquan is a good person!" Liu Bowen said, "After Hong Xiuquan raised his army, he named the country as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and forced the Taiping Heavenly Law in the territory, and anyone who did not obey was killed without forgiveness, and he controlled the people under his rule very well!" ”
"Hong Xiuquan also implemented the policy of all the people are soldiers, the entire Qingzhou up to sixty old men, down to six-year-old pheasants, both men and women, all should be conscripted into the army, and now there are 800,000 soldiers and horses under his command!" Guo Jia said with a slightly solemn face.
"Then what generals does this Hong Xiuquan have?" Gao Chang asked in a deep voice.
Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said: "Lord Yu, this Hong Xiuquan has established himself as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, self-proclaimed as the King of Heaven, Yang Xiuqing as the King of the East, Chen Sheng as the King of the West, Liu Wuzhou as the King of the South, Chao Gai as the King of the North, Shi Dakai as the King of Ji, Li Xiu as the King of Zhong, and Chen Yu as the King of Ying. In addition, Wu Guang, Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui, Zhou Wen and others were all named generals! ”
Gao Chang paused and asked, "What is Le Yi's attitude?" ”
Guo Jia handed over his hand and reported: "General Le said that he would take Qi County according to the original plan, but he underestimated Hong Xiuquan's ability to deceive people. If you want to take Qingzhou completely, you need to send at least another 50,000 horses. ”
Gao Chang pondered for a long time, got up sharply and ordered: "Immediately send an order to Le Yi, let him march first, take Qi County according to the original plan, and I will personally lead 80,000 elite soldiers to help him." ”
Immediately, Gao Chang said: "Guo Jia and Liu Ji listen to the order, and the two of you will serve as military advisors on this expedition." ”
The two of them arched their hands and said, "No! ”
"Di Renjie Fang Xuanling, the affairs of Jizhou are temporarily handled by the two of you, Zhang Xun is still stationed in Jizhou, and now the Central Plains is not peaceful, Liyang is an important town in the south of Jizhou, and I will also send more soldiers and horses!"
The three of them commanded in unison: "No! ”
"Gao Changgong, you will set off tonight with 15,000 elite soldiers, and gallop to help Le Yi in the starry night."
Gao Changgong, who wore a ghost mask, said in a deep voice: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”
"The rest of the generals, after returning to the camp, straighten out the soldiers, take a short rest, and set off with the general after the food, grass and equipment are ready!"
"We obey!"
。。。。。。。。。。
With Gao Chang's order, the 200,000 troops stationed in Jizhou sharpened their fists, packed up their guns and knives, tied their saddle horses, and prepared to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and seek more land and silver rewards for their parents, wives and children at home.
Gao Changgong took the lead in leading 5,000 cavalry, and 10,000 infantry went out of Yecheng, crossed the Yellow River, and went straight to Qi County.
Under the management of Di Renjie, Fang Xuanling and others, in just three days, all the food, grass, and military pay equipment needed for the 80,000 army to go out were prepared, and Gao Chang immediately commanded 20,000 cavalry, and 35,000 infantry with the general Xu Huang as the vanguard all the way to Qingzhou.
On the other hand, after receiving the message from Gao Changfeige, Le Yi left only 2,000 county soldiers stationed in Le'an County, and commanded the 20,000 elite soldiers formed by him to personally train across the Yellow River at night and went straight to Qi County.
As soon as Hong Xiuquan rebelled, he felt that the situation was not good, and immediately abandoned Linzi, the Qingzhou administrative office, and fled all the way north to Qi County.
However, I have to say that his hunch is quite accurate, the day after Hong Xiuquan raised his army, the believers in Linzi City revolted in response to Hong Xiuquan, if he was one step late, then at this moment he had been beheaded by Hong Xiuquan to show the public!
Qi County is adjacent to Jizhou, and Gao Chang sent a messenger to inform Jizhou that reinforcements are already on the way and will arrive soon, so that this timid assassin can relax and wait for reinforcements in Qi County with peace of mind.
Le Yi led his troops day and night, and rushed to Qi County in the early morning two days later, and informed the defenders of the city of their identities, and the defenders were busy reporting the military situation to the city.
Qi County Taishou Mansion Interior
Shen Jun had just been dressed widely, and the delicate concubine was gnawing and biting all the time, making the concubine moan, and her delicate body writhed like a snake. Shen Jun smiled, and was about to raise his gun to fight with the concubine for three hundred rounds, when the footsteps of the scene suddenly sounded outside the room.
"Lord Thorn Shi, there is a military horse outside the city, about 20,000 people......"
"What?"
Before the captain outside the door finished speaking, Shen Jun in the house was already completely frightened, lifted his pants and rushed out, "The Taiping army is here, this is worth it, quickly prepare the horse and escort me out." “
"My lord, it's not the Taiping Army, it's the 20,000 army led by General Le Yi under the command of General Gao of Jizhou." The lieutenant said cautiously.
"Bastard, you didn't say it sooner." Shen Jundeng was furious and kicked the captain, "Why don't you go out with me to meet General Le." Amitabha, thank God, is finally saved! “
