Li Jinghuai Shupo killed nearly 10,000 Taiping troops in one battle, captured more than 20,000 people, and beheaded Yang Xiuqing, the leader of the Taiping army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After this battle, the situation in Qingzhou became more and more unfavorable to the Taiping army, and 27 of the 34 counties of the five counties that were originally subordinate to Hong Xiuquan appeared to resist the Taiping army on a larger or smaller scale, even if Hong Xiuquan transferred back Chen Sheng and Shi Dakai's two troops to garrison them with all their might, the situation in Qingzhou still did not improve.
And Gao Chang is still stationed in Qi County at the moment to train the army. Gao Chang remembered that in the Three Kingdoms of the Other World, Cao Cao broke and captured millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and selected more than 100,000 elites from them to form Qingzhou soldiers, which laid the foundation for future hegemony.
With Cao Cao's precedent, Gao Chang knew the importance of these surrenders to himself, so in this conquest operation, Gao Chang repeatedly ordered and declared that the main task was to collect and surrender, and he dared to kill the captives without military law.
For the captives, they still follow the old rules, eliminate the old and weak, women and children, use generous military salaries to attract the strong to join the army, and then randomly assign them to different battalions, and use the veterans of the Jizhou Army to take these recruits, and constantly train and run in.
Therefore, Gao Chang's Jizhou army has increased instead of decreasing, rapidly expanding from 100,000 people who first entered Qingzhou to 150,000 people, and these soldiers have also been on the battlefield, coupled with the strict training of the Jizhou army, they are now considered elite.
Before you know it, it has entered the early spring, the spring flowers are blooming, everything is recovering, and the snow in the wilderness has melted. After nearly a month of rest, the Jizhou army has grown fat from the war horses, and the soldiers are all ready to fight.
Gao Chang immediately waved the flag and ordered loudly: "Enter Qingzhou!" ”
General Le Yi led the generals Wang Junke, Xin Wenli, Ma Chao, Geng Yi, Han Meng and 30,000 troops to attack Jinan, and in just two days, they took the entire Jinan country, and collected nearly 10,000 soldiers and rebel forces.

Inside the palace of the king of Linzi
Hong Xiuquan is now anxious, with the unfavorable situation of the war, the original million believers left more than 100,000 in an instant, and many states and counties that were originally submissive to themselves have changed banners, forcing him to withdraw Shi Dakai and Chen Sheng's 300,000 troops to stabilize the situation, the only thing that makes him thankful is that Liu Che, the assassin of Xuzhou, only sent troops to recover Taishan County and Langya County abandoned by Shi Dakai, and did not enter Qingzhou.
"Report, Gao Chang's army has marched to Linzi, the entire territory of Jinan has been lost, and its troops have approached Zhu'a County!"
The scout's report made Hong Xiuquan's mood a little worse, he swept everyone in the hall, and asked, "What do you think of the thief Gao Chang's army coming?" ”
Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, came out of the class and said: "King of Heaven, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the ministers are not talented, and they are willing to have tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in Zhu'a County, and they will let Gao Chang fold under the city!" ”
Hong Xiuquan glanced at Li Xiucheng dissatisfied, and said secretly in his heart: "You still have the face to ask me for battle, if you weren't defeated in the hands of Gao Chang, the 200,000 army would have been wiped out, how could the situation become what it is today!" “
However, although Hong Xiuquan thought so in his heart, he couldn't really say it, so he just stopped and said lightly: "King Zhong is one of the best generals in my heavenly kingdom, but that high thief is proficient in the art of war, and his troops are strong. “
Wing King Shi Dakai hurriedly came out of class and said: "Heavenly King, Zhu Anai is the throat of Linzi, don't lose it!" “
Hong Xiuquan glanced at Shi Dakai, and said worriedly: "I don't know, but this Gao Chang child is really powerful, if we divide the troops wantonly, I'm afraid he will be broken one by one!" “
At this time, the King of the West, Chen Sheng, smiled yin, "Heavenly King, Weichen has a strategy to resolve the current crisis, and it can also make the Heavenly King turn defeat into victory!" ”
Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed, "What is the plan of the King of the West?" “
Chen Sheng sneered and said to the outside of the hall: "Deng Zhuangshi, come in!" “
Everyone looked outside the hall, and a gray-robed man walked in front of him, only to see that this person was no more than five feet tall, and his facial features were also mediocre, but his eyes were very cold, and there was a trace of murderous aura on his body.
Chen Sheng proudly introduced to everyone: "This Deng Zhan Deng Zhuang is a talent I have recently recruited, don't look at his appearance, but his swordsmanship is superb, and no one can escape his sword within a hundred steps." “
Hong Xiuquan understood, and asked tentatively, "Does the King of the West want him to assassinate the thief?" ”
Chen Sheng nodded proudly, "Not bad!" ”
"Never!"
Before Chen Sheng's words fell, Shi Dakai retorted: "Heavenly King, we are all upright people, how can we make such indiscriminate methods, even if they become successful, it will also cause great damage to the reputation of the Heavenly King!" ”
"What the Winged King said is true!" King Chen Yucheng glanced at Chen Sheng dissatisfiedly, "The battlefield duel of life and death has its own destiny, how can such an insidious method of assassination be on the table?" ”
Chen Sheng thought that he had come up with a clever plan, but who knew that he would be opposed so fiercely, so he immediately stretched his face and said: "Everyone, since you are so moral, I don't know if you have any good ways to preach morality to resolve the crisis of today's country?" “
"This ......"
As soon as Chen Sheng saw that Chen Yucheng and Shi Dakai had nothing to say, he immediately lengthened his voice and said: "Since you have nothing to do, why do you just have a word, is the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven not as bright as what you say?" “
Hong Xiuquan also spoke at this time, "The thief Gao Chang is the primary enemy of my Heavenly Kingdom, he blasphemes the gods and endangers the Heavenly Kingdom, as long as he can get rid of him, no matter what means he is, he will be approved by the Yellow Heavenly God." Deng Zhuangshi, you set off immediately, and you must kill that thief. “
Deng Zhan squinted at everyone in the hall and let out a disdainful sneer, "Just a Gao Chang, but just a child in his early twenties, don't worry, within five days, I will take that kid's head and return!" ”
Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed and said: "If this is the case, Deng Zhuang is the great benefactor of my heavenly kingdom, and when Deng Zhuang returns, no matter what reward you want, I will definitely be satisfied with you!" ”
Deng Zhan smiled gloomily, his eyes showed a hint of cold light, and he bowed to Hong Xiuquan, "Then thank you to the Heavenly King!" “
。。。。。。。。。。。。
Le Yi took Jinan State, and the next day Gao Chang led his troops to arrive in Dongping County, the Jinan State Governance Office, and set the list of Anmin, recruited and surrendered soldiers, recruited strong men, distributed fields, and implemented all kinds of policies in Jizhou step by step.
After finishing some government affairs, Gao Chang had nothing to do, so he walked out of the government office and went to the barracks to inspect.
Gao Chang patrolled all the way, only to feel that the morale of the battalion was like a rainbow, and the soldiers were all in good spirits, and he nodded with satisfaction and prepared to leave the camp.
was walking slowly towards the camp gate, but suddenly heard a woman Qingli scolding from a barracks, suddenly stretched his face, walked forward and said unhappily to the two guards outside the barracks: "Which general ignored military discipline and robbed the people's girls to enter the camp?" “
