Liu Xinchen is Liu Yuezhao, the word Xunchen, a native of Lianyuan, Hunan, who first joined the Hunan army as a literary boy, and is an authentic descendant of the Hunan army.

In the spring of the first year of Tongzhi, Shi Da marched into Sichuan, surrounded Fuzhou, and Liu Yuezhao met Tang Shu, the prefect of Fuzhou, and Tang You, the deputy general, to break it in Yangtianwo. Then cross the river to Chongqing to intercept and relieve the siege of Fuzhou. Shi Dakai was in Changning again, Liu Yuezhao conquered it, and then defeated Shi Dakai in the first city, Deyongba, Dingzichang, etc. At the end of the year, Shi Dakai concentrated the main force of the Qing army in Shuanglongchang, Xuzhou, and Liu Yuezhao made an appointment to surrender the thief Guo Jiyi to do the internal response, broke his camp, and killed nearly 20,000 Taiping troops. Because of his merits, he was awarded Yunnan as an envoy, but he stayed in Sichuan to govern the army.

Qualifications, military exploits, and fame, Liu Yuezhao has no shortage of anything, as long as he goes to Mao Zhenshou and makes great achievements in breaking thieves, it is very possible for Liu Yuezhao to be the political envoy of Shaanxi.

In that case, the governor and political envoy of Shaanxi Province belonged to the Hunan army, and with Duolong'a, who was the general of Xi'an, Shaanxi was not obediently included in the entrainment of the Hunan army. Liu Rong went further to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and he was also very sure.

"How to raise merit for Zhang Shoudai?"

A staff member said again. The old man surnamed Lu smiled leisurely at Liu Rong, "Gongzi Sichuan Province is the political envoy of Shaanxi Province, and Yang [Yang Chongya] is not the position of the governor of Shaanxi again?" ”

The old man didn't finish his words, but the people in the room were all smart people, so they didn't understand the meaning of the rest of the words. Yang Chongya became a political envoy, wouldn't the position of the envoy under his ass be vacant? Zhang Shoudai is just a sub-patrol at the moment, and his promotion to the post of inspector is enough to reward him for his merits.

"Then Liu Xian is also transferred out of Hanzhong. He has made a great contribution this time, so he will give him the rank of general and the city will also keep it for him, and let him go into Sichuan to fight the stone thieves——"

The situation in southern Shaanxi is very clear to everyone in the house, there is no need to fight, just need to boil, and they can make a great achievement, and it will not take long. Especially after the battle of Ma Ronghe was killed, and his army gathered on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, Chen Decai had lost the best opportunity to seize Fengxian.

As soon as Fengxian County was closed, the war situation in southern Shaanxi was almost decided.

This is a great opportunity to share the profits, the protagonist has to be left to Liu Yuezhao, and the other departments are sticky and happy, to be honest, there is really no room for Liu Xian to leave another share. In this way, it is better to transfer him out of Hanzhong as soon as possible.

Because Liu Xian's role in the Battle of Hanzhong was too important, when the Taiping Army went east and the imperial court was rewarding meritorious deeds, if Liu Xian was still in Hanzhong, Liu Yuezhao might be crushed by him.

Liu Rong, who had not spoken, nodded!

……

At this moment, under the city of Liuba Hall, Liu Xian, who did not know that because of himself, Liu Xian, who had caused a big officialdom turmoil in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, was helpless against Liuba Hall City. The Taiping Army, who was determined to be a tortoise, was not at all something that this rabble under his command could gnaw.

Liu Xian was anxious in his heart, looking at the map of Hanzhong Mansion, he wanted to lead the troops directly into Baocheng regardless of it, and then the troops went east and turned back to Chenggu.

Chen Decai, who learned the bad news of Ma Ronghe's death, was struggling to beat Chenggu.

The war was still raging, and the people sent by Liu Xian to investigate could only wander around the periphery to see the overall situation, that is, the city itself had not fallen, what was going on inside, whether the pressure in the city was great, whether the casualties were serious, and it was impossible to find out at all. How can Liu Xian not be in a hurry to get angry?

If he can really control the more than 3,000 horses at the moment, Liu Xian will really lead his troops to kill. But it was obvious that these more than 3,000 people could only follow him to Liuba Hall, and it was impossible to cross Liuba with him to Chenggu.

First, the consolidation of the situation in Fengxian County is inseparable from these more than 3,000 people, and secondly, these more than 3,000 people are all locals of Fengxian County. If you don't run away from Liuba, you go to Chenggu to help, but no one wants to.

At most, Liu Xian can take away Chen Bo, Huang Mazi, Wang Fugui, these swordsman bandits, and a small number of mountain people who are willing to follow him.

And what is the use of these three or five hundred people falling on the overall situation of the city? If you ask Liu Xian to take these people to Chenggu, he won't go.

What he wants is to go to reinforce Chenggu, not to take the initiative to seek death.

……

The east gate of the castle.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The artillery of the Taiping army was constantly fired. Iron bullets flew sideways, not only smashing into the city walls, but also shells falling in the city from time to time.

In the Confucius Temple not far from the city gate, "Sasha ......" fell again.

Zhou Jun, who was lying inside, didn't even move. I didn't open my eyes until I heard a few "bang-bang" sounds. The wide hat completely covered his head and face, and the dust that shook from time to time on it did not fall on his face at all. After glancing at it and seeing that nothing had changed outside, Zhou Jun patted the dust on his body and shrunk his body into a ball again.

The people in the city didn't know what great things Liu Xian had done in Feng County, but they saw that the Taiping army outside the city suddenly went crazy four days ago. The army lined up, slipped through the five trenches, and approached the walls like a marmot.

The iron cannons in Dongcheng became useless, and the Taiping troops who had retreated into the tunnels could not fight at all. Even under the continuous approach of the Taiping army, the four iron cannons had to be moved from the city wall to the reserve position in the city.

The battle lasted five days, and the people of the city could hear them, that is, on the second and third days. Those two days were the time when the Taiping army piled up the pillboxes and breastwork outside the east gate.

It was a battle that shed more blood than the Dongguan offensive and defensive battle, but the Taiping army still showed no signs of dying, and the offensive was still fierce.

And the Taiping army, which moved down from the city wall from the iron cannon and swept away all the defenders' strongholds outside the eastern city, brought their own heavy artillery closer. Then until now, the sound of artillery has not stopped, the first and second brigades and the battalion headquarters have been fighting in rotation for the past few days, and the Zhou army has already adapted to the rumbling and continuous artillery sound.

But adaptation is adaptation, but it is also difficult to sleep in the rumbling cannon. Zhou Jun was on duty at night, and now he was sleepy to death, uh, the sound of the cannon echoed in his ears all the time, and he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

The strongest of the buildings near the east gate is the Confucius Temple. It has been a few years since it was built, but the Confucius Temple, which is dominated by bluestone materials, is still very stable, and even if it is hit by a cannonball, it will be fine.

As for the bunks and barracks at the foot of the city walls, no one dares to sleep there now. The Taiping army had been tinkering outside the city for two days, and who knows how far they had dug the trenches? The eastern wall is now in constant danger of being blasted.

On the east wall of the front, there were only eight or nine people monitoring the movements outside and under the city.

The barricades in the city are being built and strengthened one by one, and the people are still quite supportive, after all, the harvest in Hanzhong has been successful in recent years, and it is not even like Huaibei in Henan Province that has not even eaten a mouthful.

And this person, as long as he is not exhausted and cornered, no one wants to pick up his head and exchange food.
