If it weren't for Zhang Jigeng's timely plan to join forces with the outside and dedicate Chaoyangmen, Xiang Rong, the governor of Liangjiang, would really be tired.

From Guangxi all the way to Jinling, and fought countless times with the Taiping army, there was almost no time to take advantage. Although his official rank was promoted from the governor of Guangxi to the current governor of Liangjiang, and he still had the minister of Qincha Guan Fang, he was not happy for a few days. He is not a mediocre person, otherwise, he would not have gathered the more than 30,000 people under his command outside Jinling City to establish a camp in the south of the Yangtze River. However, he knew very well that he would not be able to recover Jinling by his own strength alone. His purpose is very clear, that is, to drag as many long-haired people here as possible to prevent them from disturbing Su Chang, and at the same time cut off the grain route of long-haired people in the city.

At the beginning, Xiang Rong was very excited about his cleverness. He commanded his troops to attack in all directions, and the longhaired people were overwhelmed. He didn't care how big the specific results were, but he had already seen his strategic victory, at least he had restrained tens of thousands of long-haired centaurs and didn't dare to leave the lair lightly. Every time the longhairs in the city go out of the city to transport grain, they have to pay a great price.

Gradually, he lost his excitement. The terrible thing is that the longhairs actually gathered a foreign spear team, saying that it was called the Red Army, although the number was small, but the power was huge. First of all, one of Ma Tianbao's men and horses was annihilated, and Ma Tianbao, who was beaten, complained every day and had to give up the idea of trying to block the connection between Changmao and Zhenjiang. And the long hair is bound to connect Jinling and Zhenjiang into a piece. Subsequently, the scattered battalions scattered in the south of the city began to be harassed by Longhair. The battalions were often powerless to fight back and were exhausted. Under pressure, Xiang Rong had no choice but to shrink the front and concentrate the previously scattered men and horses on Qilinmen, Xiaolingwei, Hushu, Molingguan, and Danyang.

Especially Xiaolingwei, there are not only his large battalions of the Chinese army, more than a dozen company camps, but also his two fierce generals: Zhang Guoliang, the commander of the green battalion, and Su Butonga, the commander of the full battalion.

Now that he finally had a great opportunity, he was like a smoker who had become addicted to smoking, and suddenly took a puff of smoke, and his spirit suddenly rose. It's time to sell some strength, and you can't be reprimanded by the court again and again.

As soon as he asked someone to send Zhang Jigeng and Han Muyue out of the camp, Xiang Rong couldn't wait to gather all the generals and discuss the response plan overnight.

"I led the front army, and Lord Subutonga followed." Hearing this, Zhang Guoliang grinned widely, and was extremely excited.

Zhang Guoliang, formerly known as Zhang Jiaxiang, a high-ranking person in Guangdong, joined the Heaven and Earth Society in his early years, and later entered the Taiping Army due to the general trend. This person is good at martial arts, although he was born poor, but he is contaminated with the bad habits of Yan zhòng, it can be said that he is not bad at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he is ruthless and capricious. When the Taiping army arrived in Yong'an to be crowned king, he was also rewarded with the post of military commander, but he was very dissatisfied with this, as he was very ambitious. You must know that the Taiping Army was a twelve-level official system at that time, and the Heavenly King was divided into the following divisions: military division, prime minister, inspection, commander, general, general system, supervising army, army commander, division commander, brigade commander, pawn commander and two horses. Moreover, a single prime minister is divided into spring, summer, autumn, and winter, as well as the main and deputy deputies, etc., in Zhang Guoliang's eyes, this military commander is simply not in the stream. What's more, the Taiping Army forbade both women and alcohol, which made him unbearable. Yiqiē's dissatisfaction finally ended with his Yongan rebellion and throwing himself into the arms of the Manchus.

He changed his name to Zhang Guoliang, not only saying that he wanted to make a complete break with the previous one, but also telling the new master that he was willing to become a "pillar" of the country. And that's exactly what he did. With a bitter hatred for the Taiping Army, he was like a mad dog, viciously and cruelly thrown into the strangulation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and became the mortal enemy of the Taiping Army. His master did not forget his merits, and after several bloody battles, he finally got the top belt from the second rank and was awarded the title of Admiral.

"Marshal, I have to transfer a few battalions of men and horses from General Ma, as long as I take Chaoyangmen, I will concentrate all my troops and throw them in, so as not to give the long-haired people a chance to breathe." Zhang Guoliang shook his thick body, his cheeks twitched, and he gritted his teeth. Originally, he couldn't hear the sound of fighting on the battlefield for a few days, and he couldn't see the sword light and sword shadow, this bloodthirsty Zhang Guoliang felt more uncomfortable than anything else, not to mention that he was always passively harassed, and if he wanted to fight but couldn't find an opponent, he was simply suffocated to death. Now the moment of comfort was finally coming, and it was as if he had smelled blood.

"Guoliang, don't worry." Xiang Rong waved his hand and motioned for the anxious Zhang Guoliang to sit down. In fact, he doesn't look down on Zhang Guoliang in his heart. What kind of generals bring out what kind of soldiers, Zhang Guoliang's subordinates have corrupted military discipline, burning, killing, looting, and raping women, which can be said to be all evil, and the people are extremely angry. He knew that it would never be a good thing for him to continue like this for a long time. But now Xiang Rong still needs him, after all, he and his subordinates are the most warlike, and he has always been like raising a vicious dog to deal with Zhang Guoliang. He looked at the commander of the battalion, Subutonga, and the chief soldier Ma Tianbao, who had not spoken, "This commander thinks that the opportunity is good, but if it is not used well, it will be in vain." So, let's discuss it carefully, how can it be more thoughtful. This is Xiang Rong, he is surprisingly cautious, he is not willing to do anything that he is not sure of, otherwise he will not win the nickname of "Iron Rooster".

"What the marshal said is that it is necessary to weigh it carefully and make a careful strategy. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. Subutonga smiled faintly. Unlike other Manchu generals, he liked the culture of the Han people, especially the Han art of war. Among all the horses in the Jiangnan battalion, his six flag battalion horse teams are the most rigorous. He doesn't care about people like Zhang Guoliang who only want to be brave for a while.

"What's there to talk about?" Zhang Guoliang sat down on the chair a little impatiently, "If you rush in, you will kill people when you see them, and if you see a house, you will order them, even if it is a stone, you will have to kill three times." ”

"It's simple." Su Butonga smiled coldly, "Zhang Junmen, how many people do we have in total?" Even if we raid Jinling, Longhair will come from all sides to fight us to the death. Now there are at least forty or fifty thousand long hairs in Jinling, can you solve the problem just by killing the word? ”

"The key to victory or defeat on the battlefield depends on its suddenness." Zhang Guoliang stood up again and glanced at Subutonga. I scolded in my heart, you are full of people, you usually have the ability, and you are all bears on the battlefield. "The reason why we have to transfer the men and horses of General Ma's troops is to strengthen our attack while ensuring suddenness. As soon as I entered the city, I led the army to attack the long-haired Dongwang Mansion and defeat his command center first. The horse team of the Soviet Army Gate took advantage of the situation to seize the Zhengyang Gate, Tongji Gate and Jubao Gate, which could isolate the Changmao outside the city and return to the reinforcements, and also receive the military horses in the direction of Hushu and Moling Pass to enter the city. And the Chinese army led by the commander and the men and horses of the general army of Ma can besiege Hong Xiuquan's Tianwang Mansion. The thieves have no leader, why not be destroyed? ”

"That's true, but you're ignoring a problem." Subutonga pointed westward, "What about the two true gods they are talking about?" ”

"Fake!" Zhang Guoliang waved his hand without thinking, "That's their usual deception method, that Yang Xiuqing is also known as Heavenly Father's possession." And that Xiao Chaogui, isn't he also known as Brother Tian? It's not the same as we killed. ”

"But many of my soldiers have seen the monsters that flew from the Purple Mountain to Jinling City. There will be no fewer people in the camp, how can this be explained? Subutonga snorted.

"I'm still the same thing I said before, it's definitely a trick." Zhang Guoliang patted his chest, "I eat the flesh of living people and sleep in the bed of the dead, I was born not afraid of ghosts and do not believe in evil." ”
