Chapter Seventy-Seven: Which Woman Are You?
ps: Ask for collection, ask for support.
Liang Chengfu has been marching into Xuan for a while. At most, Yangxian's savings will support this winter, and then in the spring, then the next thing will be short.
Xie Huayao hit Yuangong Town, one is to put pressure on the Chenggu side, and the other is to open up the route from Baocheng to Yangxian.
Otherwise, if the Taiping army wants to transport military grain and grass to Yangxian, it must pass under the noses of the city defenders. The danger is too great!
And they also have Zhou Shaoyong's friendly army. There is really no food, Zhou Shaoyong has some well water with Lan Chaozhu, and he will definitely not look at Lan Chaozhu and tens of thousands of Taiping troops starving.
Although Zhou Shaoyong had to rush home to save the scene after two days of close contact with the Taiping Army, his position was absolutely firm.
The situation in Hanzhong is like this, the big framework is unshakable, and it has changed, and it has become a small detail, which has nothing to do with the overall situation. What Chen Decai and Lai Wenguang discussed before was that the Taiping army would join the Lan Zhou Righteous Army, with more than 300,000 horses and horses, sweeping all the way from west to east.
What if Liu Xian took Hanyin, he really expected that the troops to stick to a city to block the advance of the army, what is the difference between it and the mantis arm blocking the car?
But when the news of the fall of Xixiang and Dingyuan came, instead of the fall of Shiquan, Chen Decai, Lai Wenguang and others were really dumbfounded.
It's really uncomfortable now. Chenggu, Xixiang, Dingyuan, three points and one line, almost blocked the road for the main force of the Taiping Army to enter Xing'an Province.
Originally, the fall of Shiquan caused a serious obstacle to the Taiping army's eastward return road, and now there is a line of Chenggu and Xixiang, which almost declared the Taiping army's plan to return to Huguang on the old road - bankruptcy.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Chen Decai's forehead sweated suddenly, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and suddenly smiled violently, "Liu Rong transferred Liu Yuezhao and Zhou Dawu to aid Liu Xian, and his troops in Ningqiang are even weaker." Let's do what he wants-"Yes, at the same time that the news from the east sent the news from Liu Xian, Lianke, Dingyuan, and Xixiang, the news from the southwest also sent the military information that Liu Rong dispatched Liu Zhou's troops and horses to reinforce Xixiang. At this time, Liu Rong dispatched Liu Yuezhao and Zhou Dawu to Xixiang, obviously to threaten Yangxian and ask Lan Chaozhu and Liang Chengfu to withdraw their troops from Xu. At least they don't dare to let go and attack out.
"Let Chengfu and Lan Chaozhu come back from Xu. Liuba, Lüyang, Chuxian and other places added to the collection, and those landlords, gentry, and those who were interested in it were left to die. Whoever doesn't know how to send them to Hades—"
"Fu Wang is to ...... Lower Sichuan? Lai Wenguang asked with a twinkle in his eyes. Chen Decai ordered like this, scraping the ground, or a one-time transaction. It's not going to be in business anymore.
"Yes, Sichuan. Wenguang, His Royal Highness the Wing King, you really need to go there! ”
Chen Decai said decisively. Originally, he was still worried about contacting Shi Dakai, but now the route back to Huguang has been cut off, and Liu Rong has transferred Liu Yuezhao and Zhou Dawu, the two elite Hunan armies, to leave Ningqiang Prefecture.
In the northeast, Fengxian and Guyuan in the northwest, Chenggu in the east, Xixiang in the southeast, and Ningqiang Prefecture in the southwest, the Taiping Army's Western Expeditionary Corps seemed to be still strong and stable, but in fact it was surrounded by enemies on all sides and trapped in Hanzhong.
Even if there is no Hong Xiuquan's imperial decree to return to the imperial army, after the New Year, Chen Decai is ready to open a way for the Western Expeditionary Corps. This road, he originally preferred the east road and the north road, but now that the situation has changed, there is only one southwest road left, and he is no longer allowed to make a choice.
This New Year in Hanzhong, the Taiping Army [Lan Chaozhu and Zhou Shaoyong are all included] and the Qing Army have a very little New Year's flavor. Both sides were like wind-wound gears, whizzing and whirling.
On the one hand, the Taiping army used the strength of scraping the ground to loot the wealth of the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and on the other hand, Liang Chengfu and Lan Chaozhu quickly returned to Shiyang County from Xu, and the troops of Yuangong Town were greatly strengthened. Zhou Shaoyong condensed in Shiquan to prevent Liu Xian's army from completely converging, but secretly transported batch after batch of old and weak women and children into Yangxian County first.
Lost the old nest Xixiang, Zhou Shaoyong's department has a very cold New Year!
On the side of the Qing army, the arrival of Liu Yuezhao and Zhou Dawu's two 10,000-strong troops made Liu Xian, who was guarding Xixiang, instantly relieved. The two cities of Dingyuan and Xixiang were handed over to Liu Erren, and they gathered the Dingyuan troops, pressed more than 5,000 prisoners of war and a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, military supplies, grain and grass, bypassed the south of Yangxian County, and rushed back to Chenggu as quickly as possible.
Money is what touches people's hearts. Zhou Shaoyong swept half of southern Shaanxi, broke through more than ten prefectures and counties, and looted too many gold, silver and jewelry to count. Coupled with his harvest in Sichuan, Xixiang broke all of these by Liu Xian, which was a huge wealth that even Liu Rong could blush! How can they be 'exposed' in front of Liu Zhou and the others for a long time. Move home early and feel at ease!
It costs a lot of money to raise an army and soldiers.
The kind of big box that can hold three to five thousand taels of silver, Liu Xian packed six boxes to get the jewelry in Zhou Shaoyong's treasure house. Even if there are no peerless treasures in it, just the most ordinary gold, silver, beads and jade jewelry, a box worth 100,000 taels is only a lot more. Add to that as much as 430,000 taels of silver and more than 13,000 taels of gold, and the most conservative estimates are above 1 million taels of silver.
Liu Xian Chenggu, Xixiang, and Hanyin, the three soldiers and horses together are only more than 7,000, and there are so many newly organized hand-to-hand soldiers in them, and the military salary is low. In addition to the consumption of all the officers' salaries and the monthly rations, meat, food, and clothing of the whole army, 50,000 taels of silver were more than enough.
Just raising the army, the harvest in Xixiang alone is enough for him to have two years of military supplies!
Liu Yuezhao and Zhou Dawu, who lived in Xixiang and Dingyuan, were very pleased with Liu Xian's interest at first, because Liu Xian left them enough rations for his subordinates to eat for three months, and a batch of livestock wine, which could make both of them live a fat old age. Both of them are already satisfied, and it is commendable that the various departments of the Qing army can do Liu Xianam's step with each other. But when Liu Zhou learned more about the storage of the Xixiang Treasury and the rumors about the wealth inside, the two of them looked at Liu Xian's rear army with a murderous look in their eyes.
If Liu Xian hadn't left in time, if he had to pass the two of them, he really wouldn't have been able to pass without leaving a layer of skin.
After a two-and-a-half-day trek, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xian entered the south gate of Chenggu.
On this night, the whole city is happy, gongs, drums, suona blow day and night, and ceremonial flowers are lit up in the sky. The city is full of joy, and it is happier than the emperor Lao'er who ordered to exempt the grain for three years.
Liu Xian also relaxed his mind and arranged for the garrison troops to drink in a daze at the banquet of the county government, which gave Wang Ruwei and other officials and gentry in the city to save face. I don't know how the whole person left, when the county government left, and how to take off the washing and lying on the bed, let alone the big beauty in her arms when she opened her eyes.
"Adult......" The woman felt Liu Xian's fiery little brother, and her fair face and flour neck instantly turned red.
"Which woman are you?" His fingers lightly picked the woman's chin, and his arm slid across the two snow-white turbulences on his chest, the taste was so slippery that his eyes darkened.
