Chapter 233: Great Changes in Guangxi

After Li Wencai and Liang Peiyou of Wuzhou captured Wuzhou, the sailors entered the Xijiang River, went down from the upstream, and immediately took Fengkai County, the intersection of the Hejiang River and the Xijiang River, completely cut off the connection between Hezhou and Guangdong, and obtained a favorable position to attack Hezhou from the Hejiang River.

After that, he continued down the river, sweeping Yunan County, Deqing County, and Yun'an County all the way until Zhaoqing joined forces with the 22nd Regiment.

Guangzhou was occupied by the New People's Army, Mao Hongbin committed suicide in defeat in Wuzhou, Guangxi Navy Division blockaded the Xijiang River, the New People's Army won a great victory, and the besieged Luoding Prefecture raised its flag and surrendered, announcing the change of flag.

And Yulin (Yulin) Prefecture, which was far away in Guangxi, surrendered without a fight, and surrendered to Li Xiaozhu, who had been eyeing him but did not really attack.

On the side of Guangzhou City, because Guo Songtao surrendered and liberated Guangzhou peacefully, the Guangdong Naval Division was divided into two, and half of it also surrendered to the New People's Army, becoming the Naval Division of the New People's Army, stationed in the waterways outside Guangzhou.

Half of the sailors threw themselves into the French army and retreated to Taipingxu (Humen), although they had the intention of attacking Guangzhou, but because there was no support from the British army, there was no movement, when they heard that Yang Dongfang defeated the French army in Shanghai and captured Li Weili alive, several warships of the French army withdrew from Taipingxu and gave up attacking Guangzhou.

In the direction of Jiangmen, because of Guo Songtao's surrender and the absence of the water division, he did not withstand the pressure, and the following mutiny tied up the officers to surrender to the Qiangui Dongjin Regiment and the new 62nd Regiment.

Then the second division continued to advance to Guangzhou, conquered Shunde in one day, and then joined forces with Liu Yongfu in Guangzhou, and the counties of Guangzhou and Zhaoqing were all looking at the wind.

Later, Liu Yongfu sat in Guangzhou, reorganized and reorganized the army, and the Qiangui Dongjin Regiment returned the breech guns, and switched to using captured weapons to defend Guangzhou on the spot, and the new 62nd Regiment advanced through Dongguan County to Huizhou.

If the occupation of Wuzhou by the New People's Army made Xi Baotian worried, Daoxian was taken by the third column of the eastward advance, which made Xi Baotian feel anxious, and another news that made him even more devastated came from Guilin.

Xie Lanjie hurriedly rushed in: "My lord! Just now there was news from Yangshuo that Jiang Xiangquan was against the emperor, and he changed his ways. ”

"What!"

Xi Baotian already felt that the future was bleak, and after knowing that Tie Shisan's intention was really to eat the 100,000 army of himself and others like dumplings, he was entangled in withdrawing from the pit of Liuzhou, and had been secretly drawing troops to Jiangyong County, trying to recapture Daoxian County and open up the passage to Hunan.

The 100,000 horses were all confined to the three narrow mountains and forests of Liuzhou, Hezhou, and Guilin, and it was aggrieved to think about it, and it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, otherwise it would be consumed sooner or later.

I didn't expect to hear such news, and thought I had heard it wrong, Xi Baotian stared at him and asked: "Jiang Yifeng has surrendered to the New People's Army, how is this possible, he is guarding Guilin well, and he has not yet reached the end of the mountains and rivers, how can such news suddenly come out, could it be that the New People's Army is bewitching." ”

Xie Lanjie's face was dark, and he also felt incredible, and he didn't say much to report the letter to him, Xi Baotian took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Jiang Yifeng who scolded Zeng Guo for stealing the country in Guilin, and finally said that for the sake of peace in the world, he called for a truce in the world.

"He... Monkey business! As a child of Xiangjiang such as us, how could he say such a thing. Xi Baotian slapped the table angrily, his eyes were on fire, and his lungs were about to explode.

Jiang Yifeng did this, and there was no doubt that he fell into the well and stuck a knife in him.

Even if your surname Jiang is angry with Zeng Dashuai and dissatisfied with the Hunan army, don't lose your temper at this time, who are these people?

Xie Lanjie persuaded: "Now is not the time for your lordship to be angry, we should make plans early, and it would be better for Liuzhou to abandon it as soon as possible." ”

Xi Baotian sighed baldly, and had no choice but to say: "Immediately let Sansu retreat to Luzhai County, Sitang retreat to Lipu County, the second division is commanded by Tang Youben, Xi Qizhao and Rong Weishan guard Yangshuo County, in case the surname will bite us, Lan Jie, you immediately take Tianrui to Jiangyong County as the vanguard of our army, open the way back to Hunan Province, and I will follow." ”

Xie Lanjie was overjoyed and took the order to leave.

Aware of the changes in the Four Tang Dynasty, Tie 13 knew that Xi Baotian was going to give up Liuzhou, and at the same time, with Yang Dongfang's help, although he was separated from Hezhou and Guilin, he still knew the news of the meeting of the third column and the fourth column in the east.

Therefore, he did not hide his strength, and immediately took the 2nd Regiment out of Xiangzhou to pursue, Tang Youben returned to Lipu County safely, so he left Tang Renlian with 1,000 people to guard Tongmu Town.

Resist for the time being, don't want to lie dormant for many months, Tie Thirteen, he has already held back, the 2nd Regiment is all tigers coming down the mountain, and none of them will die, and no matter how many soldiers Tang Renlian has, as soon as he starts fighting, he will press up on the whole line.

Tang Renlian's resistance was useless at all, but was killed, the New People's Army crossed Tongmu Town and continued to chase, Tang Youben ordered Tang Benpeng to guard the head row of the town again, and it was also eliminated.

Tang Youben ordered Tang Buyun to guard Sanjiang Township with a thousand, Tang Buyun lived up to expectations, used geography to block for a long time, and then was also conquered, and he was captured, of course, Tang Youben took 3,000 men and horses to Lipu County smoothly.

"This Tang Youben has two hits, is it really a Tang gecko?" He didn't catch Tang Youben Tie Thirteen, but he was not in a hurry, and he did not attack Lipu County immediately, but let people occupy the upper reaches of the Pomegranate River from Sipai Town and block Sansu.

Su Yuanchun's three brothers had just retreated from Luorong Town to Luzhai County when they received the news that Tang Youben had returned to Lipu County and that the 2nd Regiment of the New People's Army was controlling the upper reaches of the Pomegranate River.

Su Yuanzhang, the eldest of the Su family, poured wine for the two brothers, and the three of them ate and talked in the back hall.

"Second brother! It's not good right now! You have a lot of ideas, let's talk about what we are going to do next. ”

Su Yuanchun drank a bowl of wine and said: "Let's talk about the third brother, the third brother has both civil and military skills, and he has a lot of dealings with Xi Shuai's staff, so he must know some news." ”

Su Yuanrui also drank a bowl of wine and knocked a few peanuts, he was born in Xiuchang, and the amount of wine was not as good as that of his second brother, so he blushed and waited for a while before saying, "I heard. The soldiers and horses of the New People's Army from Guizhou captured Dao County, so we were able to break through Luorong Town, so Xi Shuai took Xi Qizhao and Rong Weishan. ”

"Big brother, do you see it, Xi Shuai is planning to leave." Su Yuanchun said, and Su Yuanzhang said: "Not necessarily, maybe it was Xi Shuai who drew troops to open up the road to Hunan, after all, those Miao soldiers are all rabble, and they still have some combat effectiveness in the mountains of Guizhou, and they are nothing when they go out of the mountains." ”

Su Yuanrui added: "The third column of the New People's Army has four or five thousand muskets. ”

Su Yuanzhang sneered, Su Yuanchun sneered, bit the peanuts to pieces, swallowed another sip of wine, and said: "The world is no longer the original world, no matter what, we are from Guangxi, can Xi Shuai retreat to Hunan?" I am optimistic about the New People's Army, speaking of which, we are also related to Li Wencai and Liang Peiyou, and they belong to Dacheng Kingdom, I don't know what the two brothers think.
