Luo Tuo is also in a dilemma now, in view of the shortage of food and grass, he wants to fight quickly, but the Taiping army has no intention of fighting him, and the whole army retreats to Qingyuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the Taiping army withdrew, it was impossible to talk about the clear field of the strong wall, because there was no need. The area of Hechi and Qingyuan has long been looted by the line Guoan, and most of the people within a radius of 100 miles have been caught by the line Guoan and sent to Liuzhou to be cannon fodder, which makes it impossible for the Qing army to raise food from the left side of the river.

The Taiping army refused to fight, and the idea of a quick battle was lost. Chen Weixin, the governor of Guangxi, who had retreated to Duyun in Guizhou, also brought people back to Hechi a few days ago, and he brought with him a Guangxi battalion of 4,000 men, as well as grain that he had managed to get from Guiyang for half a month's worth of food for the army. These grains were still distributed from Luo Keduo, the king of Pingjun, and Luo Keduo scolded his mother for this.

Chen Weixin clearly told Luo Tuo that it would be difficult for Guizhou to transport grain and grass, and after the southeast grain road was stuck by the Taiping army, the Yunnan-Guizhou Qing army could no longer get any grain and grass from the outside. If we want to break this dilemma, we must open up the northbound passage of Guangxi as soon as possible. Chen Weixin's implication was that if Luo Tuo waited for one more day in the river, he would waste one more day. The top priority at the moment is to fight early, to fight quickly, and not to delay a day.

Luo Tuo is not a Doni who does not know soldiers, he knows that he can't wait any longer, so he decides to make a desperate bet and march the whole army to Qingyuan, regardless of whether the Taiping army is willing to fight a decisive battle, this battle must also be fought.

After Luo Tuo's order was issued, many generals blew up their nests, saying that they lacked both food and artillery, and how to storm Qingyuan, which was defended by the Taiping army.

"I heard that this time it's time to let our green camp play the striker, damn it, our green camp is raised by the stepmother!"

The person who said this was the former adjutant general Wan Zhibi, who was not a Han Chinese, but a native of Guizhou. Wan Jia is a hereditary local official in Guizhou, the father of this Wan Zhi pen admires Sinicization, and wants to let Wan Jia have a scholar to take the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, so he can have a real "court official", so he gave his son such a name, which sounds very omenous. However, these 10,000 pens are not good at all, except for the name and the reader, the others are irrelevant. The person is also very rough.

Wan Zhibi's scolding, immediately a surrender will follow, they are not complaining, but in fact, after the surrender, no matter what the battle, they are the ones who fight the striker. In the battle of Xiaobeishan, most of the more than 4,000 Qing troops killed and wounded were surrendered from Guizhou, and many of the generals were wiped out. After the loss of Qingyuan, the line Guoan and them patronized the Han army banner again, where to care about the life and death of the Green Battalion. Arzina Manchu is really not human, he directly killed his subordinates, and in the two subsequent battles with the Taiping army, most of the dead were their soldiers. So there is no need to think about it at all, if you count your fingers and know that if you play Qingyuan, Luo Tuo will definitely let the soldiers play the striker.

are all raised by their fathers and mothers, King Qin, the front army is the main force of the Ming army, the treasure in the hands of King Qin, the soldiers eat well, and the officials are even more oily. When the battle started, it was all those miscellaneous cards who went first, drove the front army to suppress the formation, and they were all majestic and unhappy, and the soldiers under the King of Jin were not as good as them. Now that the army has become cannon fodder, and the uncles have become the pressure array, this psychological gap is really uncomfortable, and it is no wonder that these generals are aggrieved.

This gossip shouted, everything was said, and some people were so frightened that they hurried to stop it, otherwise let the Manchurians listen, and the people present could be good?

The generals were not brainless, knowing that some of the things had been said just now, they would also be a little afraid, so they didn't dare to go to the Manchurian soldiers anymore, but rushed to the Han army of Guoan.

The first general said with a mocking face: "It is said that the Han army can fight better than our green battalion, but the line Guoan still calls the Taiping army to come back from Liuzhou all the way, and when we escape, we can run better than we can fucking run." ”

Another general sneered: "The whole section is known as the second person under the Dingnan Domain, and in the battle on the northern front, more than 10,000 people asked the Taiping Army to give Bao Yuan, and he also asked others to be captured, and he still has the face to persuade us to surrender, I'm sorry!" ”

Everyone was scolding, and Wan Zhibi suddenly said: "To tell the truth, do you have the idea of surrendering in your hearts?" ”

"This..."

There is a general who trembles slightly in his heart, if he wants to tell the truth, who is present who refuses to surrender? They were originally the Ming army, if it weren't for the sudden surrender of the King of Qin, these "Qin soldiers" would not be valued by the King of Jin, and they would not follow the same path as the King of Qin. But if they really want to surrender now, they really can't do it, there is no way, their families are all hostages of the Qing army in Guizhou, they are going to surrender, what should their families do?

The generals were either embarrassed, or silent, or looked left and right, or looked around vigilantly, and none of them answered the words of ten thousand pens.

Wan Zhibi saw that everyone didn't speak, and he didn't want to be cold, so he said: "Have you heard that Zhou Guoding and Lu Sanxiang are doing well in the Taiping Army, and they have both become brigade schools." ”

Someone asked curiously, "What is a travel school?" Is there a large total army? ”

"Who knows, the officials of the Taiping Army are different from the Ming Dynasty, and they are also different from the Qing Dynasty, who can distinguish clearly. However, the brigade school heard that there are more than 2,000 people under his command, and it is not necessarily bigger than the general army, but it is not worse than the general army. Speaking of this, Wan Zhibi laughed at himself a little: "Anyway, it must be more decent than my lieutenant, people can manage more than 2,000 people on hand, and I only have a few hundred people on hand." ”

"You have hundreds of people, and I am less than a hundred!" One of the general soldiers muttered.

The other generals didn't say much, but it was impossible not to be impressed. Zhou Guoding and Lu Sanxiang, like them, are the subordinates of King Sun Kewang of Qin, but they can get good treatment after surrendering, it seems that the Taiping army is still quite benevolent to them, the old department of King Qin, and it is not bad to really vote in the past. Of course, this thought can only be thought of, the wife and children are all in the hands of the Qing army, if they really surrender, then if it is not good, it will be cut off.

In fact, many of the people in Sun Kewang's old department received letters secretly from the Taiping army, all of whom asked them to surrender early. It's okay for a real bachelor, he will drop when he says he will fall, and whoever has a good situation will vote for whom, but he really can't be ruthless if he has a family.

Besides, surrender is not an easy task. There are thousands of Manchu Mongolian cavalry on this side of Hechi, and there are green battalion soldiers brought by Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang, all of whom are hardcore of the Qing court, and those who surrendered earlier than them, so they are very wary of their group of generals who have only surrendered in Guizhou. If they do make the slightest move, I'm afraid a knife will fall. What's more, the Qing army is not stupid, although the official position of their generals remains unchanged, but their subordinates are not less mixed with sand, and it really takes a lot of effort to surrender. One was careless, and he didn't vote, and his head fell to the ground first.

In addition, it is too early to say that it will fall. The battle situation was undecided, although the line Guoan called the Taiping army to fight heavy losses, but as soon as the Luo Tuo army arrived, they immediately forced the Taiping army to retreat. Therefore, it is not yet known who will kill the deer, and it will be better not to bet early. What if this army succeeds in attacking Qingyuan?

Regarding the dynamics of the demote, Line Guoan and Luo Tuo actually know it. Although Xian Guoan suffered successive defeats in Guangxi, he could be regarded as a heroic figure who could be compared with Wu Sangui, so he made a statement to Luo Tuo and summoned all the generals. Luo Tuo said to him, on the eve of the war, there should also be something to say about these generals, lest they hide their thoughts.

"General Ben heard that many of you have received letters of surrender from thieves, is this true?"

Luo Tuo asked knowingly, asking, but with a smile on his face, he glanced back and forth on the faces of the generals.

Xian Guoan sat motionless in the chair, but there was a look of surprise on his face, as if he didn't know anything about it.

General Ningnan asked directly, and the generals were uncomfortable, and some people beat the drum in their hearts. As for who took the initiative to admit it, it was not.

Luo Tuo also knew that they would not take the initiative to admit it, so he directly named him, he looked at the chief soldier Shi Tian, and said to him: "Chief soldier Shi, I heard that the thieves sent you a letter and wanted to coerce you into defecting, but is there such a thing?" ”

Hearing Luo Tuo's words, Shi Tian shuddered for a while, and he didn't know how Luo Tuo knew that he had received a letter of persuasion from the Taiping Army. He was also alert, and immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, took out a letter from his bosom, and said cautiously: "General, the thief has indeed sent me a letter, and I am about to report this matter to the general." ”

"Oh, really?"

Luo Tuo smiled faintly, signaled the guards to take the letter in Shi Tian's hand, and glanced at it, it was indeed a letter of surrender, but the payment was the chief officer of the left wing of the Dingnan Domain. His expression immediately became gloomy, and he handed it to the line Guoan casually. After seeing it, the expression of the line Guoan was also very unnatural. Who is the whole festival? The second person under the Dingnan Domain, who is also the right-hand man of his line of national security, now surrendered to Taiping Kou, and in turn persuaded the Qing army to surrender, this thing is really not authentic, so that his line of national security is also disgraced, and even with his own danger. What if Roto was suspicious of him?

"The whole festival pretended to have a friendship with me, but in fact he wanted me to turn against the thief. However, the general can rest assured that Zhu Youlang has abandoned the country and fled, and the puppet has reached the end of the road. I don't recognize Shi Tian's farewell, that is, I accept my fate, since the destiny is in the Qing Dynasty, I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty! ....”

After Shi Tian finished speaking, lest Luo Tuo not believe it, he swore another gamble. This action opened the eyes of those generals in the tent, or those who didn't know thought that this Shi Tian was really a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. However, if you don't take this letter early or late, and wait for the general to call your name before taking it out, what do you think in your heart, but it's worth exploring.

Wan Zhibi and the others sneered in their hearts, but at the same time, they were afraid that the Manchurians would know about the letter they had received.

Wan Zhibi was a little confused in his heart, and yesterday he looked at this big tent and said a little storytelling, saying the meaning of "Hongmen Banquet".

Shi Tian was really scared, he was afraid that Luo Tuo would drag him out and behead him, and become the chicken that killed the chicken to show the monkey. I didn't want to laugh, but I smiled and reached out to take the letter from Xian Guoan, and then tore up the letter.

"General Shi, General Ben really didn't misunderstand you, there is something you said very right, the destiny of heaven is in the Qing Dynasty, even if Taiping Kou can jump for a while, how can he ..... Back then, Li Dingguo was extremely majestic, and the King of Dingnan and Prince Jingjing were all folded in his hands, but what could they do in the end? It was not that our army broke through the southwest and was forced into the miasma of western Yunnan, and the generals under him were even more obedient, so ah, the Ming Dynasty was fundamentally gone. Taiping Kou is just a small trouble, even if he can be majestic for a while, the thief Xiucai will eventually be the second Li Dingguo. ”

"The general is right!"

Shi Tian kowtowed, his face full of admiration. The generals also nodded one after another, when the Great Western Army united with the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, launched a southwest counteroffensive, invincible all the way, and achieved great victories, but in the end it was not such an end. Even Wanzhibi also felt that what Luo Tuo said was right, and he still had to wait and see, and then he couldn't call Zhou Guoding that bastard pit.

Luo Tuo compared Li Guoding's Great Western Army with the Taiping Kou of the thief Xiucai, and most of the generals were determined in their hearts, especially those generals whose families were hostages in the hands of the Qing army, which strengthened their hearts to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Luo Tuo was very satisfied with the performance of the generals, and the line Guoan also nodded secretly, and at the same time admired Luo Tuo a little. Wise people can't use all their strength at this juncture, and they still have to use some means to help these generals, and at the same time, they must rekindle their confidence. And comparing the Taiping Army to the Great Western Army and the thief Xiucai to Li Dingguo is the best way to inspire people's hearts. Everyone in the world is known for Li Dingguo's bravery, but the final ending is so miserable. With this stark contrast, there are such good examples, and the generals have to weigh it.

"I am willing to die for the general!"

I don't know which one is the leader, and all the generals of "Bang Lala" knelt down and shouted. The generals expressed their attitudes and made up their minds, Luo Tuo was overjoyed, the line Guoan was also happy, the morale of the army was available, and the next thing was to see the real chapter on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
