A few days later, the Chicken Mountain of Guangyuan Yingshan in Sichuan, the White Lotus Sect Luo Qiqing's department was entrenched here, and the entire Chicken Mountain was filled with a tense atmosphere, the weapons of the White Lotus Sect were mixed, swords, guns, swords, sticks, spears and firearms, and so on, and the clothes were also very shabby, which could wrap the body and resist the cold of autumn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Among the three armies, the discipline of the White Lotus Sect was very poor, just like an ordinary peasant rebel army, lazy and wandering.

In the big tent, Luo Qiqing and all the leaders of the White Lotus Sect gathered here, sitting in the big tent, the atmosphere in the big tent was very bad, tense and depressing, no one was willing to say the first word, silently, and sat there wilted.

"Brothers, in July this year, Wang Sanhuai did not listen to the persuasion of the leaders of the army from all walks of life, he had to be stubborn, listen to Lebao's words of fraudulent surrender, believe it to be true, and thought that the Qing court really had the intention of surrendering, so he went deep alone and went to the Qing army camp to negotiate alone.

Luo Qiqing first said this and this, completely blocked the mouth of Youyou, completely blocked the back road of those surrendering factions, and then said: "The Qing army led by Delentai has been chasing after us, vowing to destroy us, and now in this situation, the Qing army led by Erle Dengbao, Huiling, Hengrui, and Lebao is not far from us, and it is possible to catch up at any time, and Delentai will join forces and surround us, brothers, do you have any ideas to solve our current situation?" ”

At this moment, on the left and right sides sat Xiangyang Wang Yanzhao, Gao Junde, Dazhou Xu Tiande and others. Luo Qiqing said nothing, Wang Yanzhao, who was headed on the left, immediately took over the conversation, looked around, and said: "Leader Luo is right, although we will be in this Jishan, there are Ruan Zhenglong of Xiangyang on the left and right, and Daxin of the Taiping Tang Dynasty set up camp and set up camp with us, forming a horn trend, supporting each other, and fighting against the Qing army together." ”

"Yes, at present, we have the advantage, there are more troops than the Qing army, and the terrain of Jishan is difficult and dangerous, which is conducive to defense, but have the leaders ever thought that according to the spies, Erle Dengbao, Huiling and Hengrui are gathering on our side, once they are all in place, Jishan will be in danger, and our troops will no longer have an advantage."

Wang Yanzhao's words are thought-provoking, and what he said is more detailed, reasonable, and well-founded, as we all know, make everyone have to think deeply and consider the current situation.

However, before everyone could think about it, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and then a small soldier broke in, bowed down and hurriedly said: "Leaders, just now our spies came to report, Erle Dengbao entangled Hui Ling, ready to attack my Jishan from three sides, the number of people is more than several times ours, depending on the situation, within two days, it will be hit." ”

In an instant, there was a buzz and noise in the big tent, and there was some commotion, Luo Qiqing shouted: "Brothers, the Qing army is pressing the border, the situation is very dangerous, we can't mess with ourselves, otherwise, it will only make the situation more unfavorable to us!" ”

Immediately, Dazhou Xu Tiande, who was headed by the right, echoed: "Leader Luo is right, at this time, our White Lotus Sect cannot be chaotic, and we need to unite the most, so that we can tide over this difficulty and gain the possibility of victory." ”

After saying this, Xu Tiande turned his head to look at Luo Qiqing and said solemnly: "Leader Luo, the situation is critical now, you have that idea~!" ”

Luo Qiqing didn't agree immediately, but postponed and said: "Let's discuss it together, after all, we are all the leaders of the White Lotus Sect's armies, how can we say it alone?" ”

Gao Junde, who was slightly lower in the seat, did not keep silent anymore, and then continued: "Leader Luo, since Wang Cong'er encountered an accident in Xihuapo, Hubei Province in February, and I don't know whether he lives or dies, the remaining more than 20,000 people in the department have joined your command, and now the White Lotus Sect, you are the main force against the Qing Dynasty, in the whole Sichuan, you have many soldiers and generals, if you can't help but make a decision, who can still take on this important task?" ”

At this moment, Luo Qiqing was so calm and calm, without the politeness just now, and said loudly: "Since the leaders look up to me so much and trust me Luo Qiqing, then I won't postpone it!" ”

"Hehe, of course we believe in Leader Luo, only Leader Luo has this strength~!" Immediately, the others chimed in, their voices a little reluctant.

Luo Qiqing raised his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and waited until everyone stopped talking, then continued: "It hasn't been long since Erle Dengbao brought troops into Sichuan from Hubei, and he is not familiar with the terrain here in Sichuan, and he is still far away from the labor division, although the number of Qing soldiers is more than ours, our White Lotus Sect is not without a chance to fight!" ”

"Therefore, we can carry out a sneak attack on the Qing army according to the terrain, and counterattack with the help of the power of time! Once the Qing soldiers attack Jishan, we will entertain them with rolling wood and stones, and give them a fierce blow, even if they have weapons such as firearms, bows and arrows, they can only be smashed into meatloaf in the face of the big stones rolling down. ”

"Then, let's go down again, closely follow the falling stones, and we will definitely be able to kill him on his back and win the battle, it's not impossible!"

Between the eloquent conversations, Luo Qiqing faintly had the demeanor of a general, some strategies, and his words gathered incitement, which immediately mobilized everyone's fighting mood.

Luo Qiqing's expression was closed, and he turned his head to look at Wang Yanzhao, Gao Junde and Xu Tiande respectively, and solemnly explained: "Leader Wang, Leader Gao, and Leader Xu, I will trouble you, you are responsible for the other three directions, send people to guard the various key roads, occupy the commanding heights, and prepare the rolling stones, as long as the Qing soldiers are found, they will immediately serve the rolling stones, and then face the head attack, and give them the most profound lesson~!" ”

"Okay, Leader Luo, let's do it!" The three of them immediately responded, stood up, and walked out of the tent.

Everyone left, only three people were still in the big tent, it was Luo Qiqing, his brother Luo Qishu, and his son Luo Yongfu.

At this moment, Luo Yongfu raised his leg and was about to walk out of the tent, but was stopped by Luo Qiqing: "Yongfu, what are you going to do?" ”

Immediately, Luo Yongfu retracted his steps, with a puzzled face, and said suspiciously: "Father, do you need to say this?" Of course, the son is going to go, ordering people to garrison various strategic places, and vowing to fight to the death with the Qing army, and divide the victory and defeat! ”

"You, you, you, have been with me for so long, and have fought in Sichuan for a long time, why are you still so naïve? I don't know how to judge the situation and be obedient. Hey, how can I have a son like you?! Luo Qiqing's face hated that iron does not become steel.

Luo Yongfu was confused when he heard this, and became more and more puzzled, and said instinctively: "Father, my son still doesn't understand what you mean." ”

Luo Qiqing had the urge to look up to the sky and sigh, and he couldn't wait to scold and wake up his son. In the end, Luo Qiqing still resisted that impulse, tried his best to calm down, and secretly exhaled, and then slowly explained: "Yongfu, you should know that although in Sichuan, our White Lotus Sect has hundreds of thousands of people, and the strength is more than several times that of the Qing army. ”

"However, the White Lotus Sect has many internal factions, with various hills, and it is very disunited, so maybe at any time, it will be stabbed in the back by some other army? What's more, just in the vicinity of Jishan, in the area of Guangyuan, in terms of troops, we do not have an advantage. Moreover, the Qing army's reinforcements also came from the north and south of Hubei. ”

"What about us? Since the Qing army implemented the battle plan of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, it has become more and more difficult for us to replenish the supply of troops and food. Therefore, we must reduce personnel loss as much as possible. ”

Luo Yongfu seemed to understand something, but still asked, "Father, what do you mean?" ”

Luo Qiqing sighed and said helplessly: "Yongfu, in terms of the current situation, Jishan, we can't hold it, Erle Dengbao and Huiling will definitely attack here." ”

"Then father, why did you just say that? Wouldn't it be okay for us to just retreat? If you do that, isn't it a little unkind to put other leaders in danger? ”

However, before Luo Qiqing could respond, Luo Qishu, who was an uncle, preemptively said: "Yongfu, my eldest nephew, don't talk about the far, just talk about the near, you know about Wang Cong'er, right?" ”

"Well, uncle, I know, isn't it that Wang Cong'er was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army in Hubei, and when he was defeated, he asked for help from the nearby rebel brothers. Although reinforcements arrived, they were powerless and could not save the situation. Luo Yongfu nodded and said like this.

When Fang Buddha thought of something unhappy, Luo Qishu's serious expression became sad, and he said with some pain: "Yongfu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other, although there were indeed rebel brother troops to support at that time, but the few reinforcements were pitiful, and they couldn't solve the problem at all." ”

"At that time, if Chen Tingju could personally lead the whole army to help, instead of letting his nephews Chen Da and Wang Jie only bring a few hundred people, how could Wang Cong'er's department be disabled? How could Wang Cong'er be so unknown about his life and death? ”

After saying the last sentence, Luo Qishu's eyes were gloomy, and his face showed infinite emotion, at this moment, Luo Yongfu only felt stuffy in his chest, unspeakably uncomfortable, although he understood it in his heart, he still asked again and again: "Uncle, why?" Why is that? I think that at the beginning, if Wang Cong'er hadn't rushed back from Shaanxi to rush back to help and break the siege of the Qing army, there would not be today's situation, and the armies from all walks of life could still confront the Qing army. ”

Luo Qishu glanced at Luo Yongfu, as if he was caught in infinite memories, and as if he was talking to himself, he muttered: "As far as I know, Chen Tingju's suspicions are very serious, and he doesn't believe his nephew Chen Da, and suspects that Chen Da and Wang Jie are secretly colluding. Otherwise, they would not have just given them a few hundred people to rescue Wang Cong'er. ”

"And, just like Big Brother, your father said, there are many factions within the White Lotus Sect, with all kinds of hills, and they are not monolithic, and they are very disunited. Wang Cong'er's family is dominant, and the total number of troops is more than the sum of several other armies, so it is inevitable that some people will be jealous of Wang Cong'er and do something secretly, it is not surprising~! ”

Although the words are exhaustive, the meaning is endless, thought-provoking, and thought-provoking, Luo Yongfu feels even more depressed, and regrets Wang Cong'er's death. After a while, Luo Yongfu looked up to the sky and sighed, then looked at Luo Qiqing again, his expression was closed, and he asked solemnly: "Father, since this is the case, what should we do next?"
