Chapter Seventy-Six: Shi Dakai Returns to Aid Hong Xiuquan?

PS: Ask for collection, ask for support!

At the end of the year, Nanzheng City was still in an atmosphere of war. A few days ago, Lai Wenguang also launched an attack on Dongguan. Although it was not successful, the pressure brought to Nan Zhengcheng was obvious.

The slightest slack in the city caused by the improvement of the situation in Hanzhong has completely faded.

Chen Tianzhu was standing his last post, and Li Ying, who had the city to help, completely suppressed Zhou Fanshou, the commander of Nanzheng County, and took the civil, financial and part of the military power of the capital [Yi Yong]. However, the turmoil and shaking of the military and political circles did not affect the stability of Nanzheng, but the cooperation became more seamless.

Lai Wenguang originally wanted to take advantage of Liu Xian's main force to attack Nanzheng to see if he could seize this last opportunity to capture Nanzheng, but at this moment, the Western Expeditionary Army had received Hong Xiuquan's order to return to Tianjing, and they would soon leave Hanzhong.

But Nanzheng's sturdy and steady defense dashed Lai's last glimmer of hope.

"Oh, oh, oh......"

In the big tent, Lai Wenguang was discussing the route of returning to the army with Chen Decai, the commander who rushed to Nanzheng, when suddenly bursts of cheers like waves of the sea reached the ears of the two.

"What's going on?"

The two looked at each other, and they could see the astonishment and surprise in each other's eyes.

"Your Highness......"

Outside the tent, the voice of the military inspection of Prince Fu sounded.

"Come in!" Chen Decai straightened up from the map on the case, his eyes were like a roar. He is the head of more than 200,000 Taiping troops, a military commander who spans thousands of miles, and his breath is majestic.

"Your Highness, King Zun. It's the Qing demon of Nanzheng, and the city cheers, I don't know why. "The pro-military inspector said the endless cheers outside." His subordinates have sent people to investigate in all directions—"

After the pro-military inspection point retreated, Chen Decai and Lai Wenguang's faces became solemn. What the enemy cheers about, that's definitely not good for yourself. But what's the problem?

The two of them scanned their eyes from the map, and soon they both pointed their fingers at the location of the stone spring. "Zhou Shaoyong!"

"He must have lost Shi Quan—"

I couldn't imagine that Liu Xian's real target was Dingyuan and Xixiang's Lai Wenguang shouted. Chen Decai nodded affirmatively, but then the wrinkles on his forehead deepened by three points.

Hung Yen Province! This is the most convenient and fast way for the Western Expeditionary Corps to return to Tianjing. From Xing'an to Yunyang, cross Xiangyang and go straight down the Han River to the Yangtze River, or enter Henan and Anhui.

From Hanzhong to Tianjing, there is no faster than this.

But now that Liu Xian has blocked Xing'an, and the army wants to pass through Xing'an again, although Chen Decai is still sure of getting through, it is very likely that several important places in Hanyin and Ankang cannot be captured. In that way, the team will walk around the city, and the abdomen, back, and weakness will be exposed in front of Liu Xian's eyes, and the team's losses will be unpredictable!

Without troops, without military morale, what if you can lead the team out of Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, and Tianjing? Isn't it to send food to Zeng Laojiu for nothing? Not to mention, it is even more likely that it will be wiped out halfway through.

"Fu Wang. If Xing'an is blocked, our army will not go straight to Sichuan. At present, the middle of the river is empty, and the main force of the Qing demon has overwhelmed the south of the river and confronted the Wing King. As long as our army breaks through the interception and blockade of the Qing army in the Ningqiang area, the army will enter Sichuan and walk on the ground. ”

Chen Decai glanced at Lai Wenguang strangely, "The Heavenly King wants our department to come back immediately, why are we going to Sichuan?" ”

"Fu Wang!" Lai Wenguang's face suddenly became very excited, "The Kingdom of Heaven has reached the realm of life and death, why should it be taboo about the Wing King's departure." We alone can't save Tianjing. The king of England has entered Tianjing, and no one outside can unify the overall situation, and the soldiers and horses can only let the Qing demons break through-"

"Winged King. Led by the Wing King! We will be able to defeat the Hunan army and save the kingdom of heaven! ”

Shi Dakai was not defeated on the banks of the Dadu River. At the end of the thirteenth year and the beginning of the fourteenth year of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, he really became the only recognized leader of the Taiping army kings outside Tianjing City. As long as Shi Dakai is willing to return to Tianjing, he can definitely let the Taiping army from all walks of life take the lead.

Chen Decai was silent. He couldn't make up his mind about such a big thing for a while. "Wenguang, you let me think about ......"

The sound in the tent stopped, but the fanatical aura on Lai Wenguang's body became more and more hot like a rising sun, which only made Chen Decai's mind unstable.

He is Chen Yucheng's uncle, and he is a hardcore of Hong Xiuquan's line, and he knows what the Tianjing Incident was like at the beginning, and what was the reason for King Yi's departure. Now, do you really want to persuade the Winged King to go back? What will become of that day? Will the King of Heaven agree again?

Countless thoughts poured into Chen Decai's heart, and at this moment, his mind was unprecedentedly chaotic.

There shouldn't be thoughts that shouldn't be thought, weeds are growing like crazy in his heart, cutting off stubble after stubble.

"Fu Wang. No matter which way our army goes back to Tianjing, the Wing King must be called. If you can make up your mind, I'll take a trip to Yunnan myself—"

……

On the 28th of the lunar month, Liu Xian sat in the Xixiang County Ya.

The unprepared Xixiang Rebels, like their comrades in Dingyuan Hall, were blown open by Liu Xian and pushed them directly.

So far, Liu Xian has made direct contact with Chenggu, who has been away for more than half a year. He reported the news to Hanzhong Mansion on the one hand, Liu Rong on the other hand, and then sent Fan Debang to make a detour to Xing'an Mansion and report directly to Duolonga in Xi'an City.

In the meantime, the road is far away, and the places passed through have suffered many military disasters, scattered bandits and rebels, not to mention, the post stations along the way alone are all deserted, the original 600 miles of military intelligence can be delivered in three days, and now it is good to be able to arrive in Xi'an in ten days.

More than 5,000 rebels were taken prisoner. But the battle was intense, and Liu Xian didn't even do a rough screening. Now, on the one hand, he contacted Chenggu and quickly mobilized Kong Lingren's artillery team, the remaining troops and the 1,000 Chenggu Volunteer Battalion to reinforce Xixiang, and on the other hand, he made every effort to mobilize the remaining landlords and gentry in Xixiang to mobilize the greatest number of young and strong people.

Firmly guarding the Chenggu-Xixiang-Dingyuan line, plus the Nanzheng City surrounded by the Taiping army, roughly separated the main force of the Taiping army of the Lan Zhou Righteous Army and the Qi King Liang Chengfu and Chen Decai, Lan Chengchun, and Lai Wenguang.

It has played the most direct role in promoting the development of the situation in Hanzhong.

No matter how Lan Chaozhu and Liang Chengfu want to enter the Guanzhong, they must turn around and stabilize the situation in Hanzhong. Because Lan Chaozhu's old nest Yang County is on the edge of Liu Xian's tiger's mouth.

If Liu Xian is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Xixiang, his next target will definitely be Yangxian. Or there is no need to eat Yangxian at all, Liu Xian only needs to recover the original Gongzhen, then the passage between Baocheng and Yangxian will be cut off.

When the soldiers entered southern Shaanxi, the Lan Dynasty Pillar Department got a lot of money, grain and grass, and it was possible to support the people of the Lan Dynasty Pillar Headquarters and Liang Chengfu's Taiping Army for half a year and a few months. But no matter how long it takes, it will be difficult.

Besides, in addition to food, there are also military supplies. Lan Liang wanted to really move in Guanzhong, and they couldn't do without the support of the Taiping army, which occupied half of Hanzhong Mansion.
