Chapter 216: Liu Taiping recognizes his son
Jiangbei camp, the big tent of the Chinese army!
Qi Shan lay on the bed, his face pale, his lips purple, and his eyes dark and blank.
Previously, Qi Shan personally led an army of 100,000 to take the initiative to attack, intending to defeat the vanguard army led by Li Xiucheng in one fell swoop. At the beginning, Qi Shan and Li Xiucheng fought and won consecutive battles, forcing Li Xiucheng to move the camp three times and retreat a hundred miles. The successive victories made Qi Shan and the generals under his command fluttering, and even the ordinary soldiers were arrogant, thinking that Li Xiucheng was vulnerable.
The 100,000-strong army chased frantically, wanting to annihilate Li Xiucheng in one fell swoop.
At this time, Li Xiucheng led his army to retreat to a tributary of the Yangtze River. Li Xiucheng secretly ordered the soldiers to build a dam to cut off the river upstream, blocking the rushing river and making the downstream river water shallow. When Qishan led the army through the river, the soldiers of the Jiangbei battalion crossed the river directly, without any defense.
Caught off guard, Li Xiucheng asked the soldiers to break the embankment and prevent water.
The flood rumbled down, and the 100,000-strong army was defeated.
The situation is changing in an instant.
Li Xiucheng led the army to chase and kill, this time the army under Li Xiucheng was indeed brave and good at fighting, showing absolutely more powerful strength than the soldiers of the Jiangbei battalion, covering and killing countless Manchu soldiers. Qi Shan fled in the wilderness, and although he fled back to the camp in Jiangbei, only about 30,000 of the 100,000 army remained.
Such a result made Qi Shan fall ill.
The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and Qi Shan's illness immediately crossed the body.
Qi Shan fell, and the generals in the army didn't know what to do? Qi Shan lay on the bed, looked at the dejected generals in the big tent, and sighed. He had even sensed that his time was running out.
Qi Shan asked; "Did Li Zhen send troops over there?"
Wu Qigong immediately replied: "Lord Hui, Li Zhen has already sent an army and is approaching Nanjing. ”
"Good. Good!! ”
Qi Shan said two good words in a row before he said: "As long as Li Zhen launches an attack on Nanjing, the pressure on the Jiangbei camp can be relieved." The order went down, and ordered the musketeers to stand by and defend the camp to the death, and resolutely not to be breached. As long as we stick to it, after Jiangnan Daying and Li Zhen make a move, there will be no problems. ”
"Yes!"
Wu Qigong agreed, his face still full of worry.
Qi Shan said again: "After Li Zhen sends troops, he may not be able to launch an attack quickly, and then send people to Shanghai to deliver the message. Tell Li Zhen about the battle situation in the Jiangbei camp, and let Li Zhen order the soldiers to launch a fierce attack to divert the attention of the bandits. ”
"The last general has written it down!"
Wu Qigong wrote them down one by one, looking at Qi Shan's haggard face, but there was a burst of worry in his heart. At this time, Wu Qigong only hoped that Qi Shan could live for a while longer. Qishan can live for a few days, and the big camp can support it for a few days. If Qi Shan dies, it will definitely cause turmoil in the army's heart, and it will no longer be stable.
……
Taiping Army, Pioneer Army Camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Xiucheng and a group of generals under his command gathered, with excited expressions on their faces. In this battle, Li Xiucheng defeated the 100,000 people in the Jiangbei camp with 50,000 troops. Among them, more than 10,000 Manchu soldiers were killed and nearly 60,000 were captured, which is simply a remarkable achievement.
Almost all the generals praised Li Zhen, some of them sincerely wished, and some of them had a faint jealousy in their eyes, jealous of Li Xiucheng's great achievements.
"The East King has a will!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from outside the tent.
After Li Xiucheng heard this, he stood up suddenly, knelt down on one knee in the big tent, and said loudly: "The last general will take the order!" ”
The rest of the generals also knelt down one after another, waiting for the messenger to deliver the decree.
For Li Xiucheng, he is very grateful to Yang Xiuqing.
Li Xiucheng was reused by Yang Xiuqing, so he was able to rise step by step. After the defeat, Yang Xiuqing not only did not blame, but comforted him, which moved Li Xiucheng. Especially now that Li Xiucheng has led an army alone and achieved such a big victory, the person Li Xiucheng is most grateful to is Yang Xiuqing.
The soldier who delivered the decree looked at Li Xiucheng and said loudly: "In this battle, Li Xiucheng defeated 100,000 Qing demons with 50,000 people, defeated the strong with the weak, and greatly increased the prestige of the Heavenly Empire. Winning this battle, Li Xiu's success is indispensable. However, the Jiangbei camp has not yet been destroyed, and I hope that Erduo will work hard to destroy the Jiangbei camp and make great contributions. ”
After the soldier finished speaking, he handed over Yang Xiuqing's holy decree to Li Xiucheng.
Li Xiucheng said excitedly: "Please tell the East King, Li Xiucheng will definitely live up to the expectations of the East King." ”
The soldier nodded, turned and left.
Li Xiucheng saw the soldiers leave, but he no longer had time to drink and celebrate, so he directly asked the soldiers to move away from the banquet, and then said solemnly: "If you want to destroy the Jiangbei camp, you have to work hard, and we will discuss the problem of how to send troops." Li Xiucheng pondered carefully, and then gathered the suggestions of the generals in the big tent, and had a faint idea in his heart.
……
Shanghai, Daotai Province.
When Qishan sent someone to deliver the news, Li Zhen immediately found Liu Taiping and discussed the matter.
Liu Taiping looked at Li Zhen and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the failure of the Jiangbei camp is expected. If the Jiangbei camp is undefeated, then it will be strange. Now that the Jiangbei camp is stubbornly defending, it is definitely impossible for the Jiangnan camp to sit idly by. My lord, the old man thinks that it is better to continue to wait and see, and when the Jiangnan battalion enters the battlefield, it is not too late to send troops. ”
Li Zhen also nodded and approved Liu Taiping's suggestion.
This time, he can only treat Qi Shan badly.
If Li Zhen wanted to realize the idea in his heart and change the humiliating situation of the Chinese land, it was impossible for him to be loyal to the Manchus and serve the Manchus. Li Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Sir, your body is already well, I think I can hold a ceremony for Xiao Ye to worship you as his father-in-law, what do you think?" ”
Liu Taiping said: "This kid has a long father-in-law all day long, and a short-term father, and he is already on his lips." Besides, Fluttershy likes the kid too, so I'll take him. ”
Li Zhen was even more relieved when he saw that Liu Taiping agreed. Li Zhen directly found people in the army and arranged the affairs of Ye Chengxin and Liu Taiping. In the early morning, Li Zhen prepared for Ye Chengxin, and held a lively operation, and Ye Chengcheng became the righteous son of Liu Taiping, who was recognized by the law.
This joyful event was very lively, and there were many people coming. Ye Chengxin has become Liu Taiping's righteous son, and his identity has changed. However, Ye Cheng's heart remains the same, and he will do whatever he dares to do.
This kind of behavior impressed Li Zhen.
On this day, the fourth master Tong actually found the gate of the mansion and wanted to see Li Zhen.
Although Ye Chengxin didn't like the fourth master, and he was a little jealous of the fourth master, Li Zhen gave an order, and it was impossible to stop it. Ye Chengxin didn't delay time, went directly to Li Zhen's study, and said respectfully: "My lord, the fourth master has something to see you." ”
Li Zhen hummed and ordered, "Please!" ”
