On September 25, the second year of Tongzhi, Qingshi Pass won a great victory, and planned to behead one prime minister of Changmao, one person to inspect, four generals, not counting below the military commander, 2,000 soldiers and thieves, and more than 3,000 prisoners.

Adjutant generals Liu Xian, Zhu Guiqiu, and staff general Zhang Yougeng Pegasus reported to Zhaohua.

At this time, Liu Rong had already entered Guangyuan, and he sent Liu Xian to attack Qingshi Pass, so he also urged Liu Yuezhao, Xiao Qinggao, He Bisheng and others to make a momentum on the front line in Ningqiang Prefecture, not asking for anything else, as long as they attracted Chen Decai's attention.

The people who stayed behind in Zhaohua to deal with affairs were actually Liu Rong's staff, and a group of people were surprised and delighted, and soon, they sent Pegasus to report to Liu Rong.

This good news from Qingshi Pass to Bayu Pass, from Bayu Pass to Jiangnan County, and then from Jiangnan County to Zhaohua County, and then to Guangyuan County, all the way through hundreds of miles, but it only took one day. On the 26th, Liu Rong, who was in Guangyuan, received good news, he pulled his three-way long beard, and was so surprised that he was a little speechless.

It's so fast!

How long has Liu Xian been going? Except for rest, the whole battle is most likely to be fought in one day. Zhou Dawu, who also came from Sichuan, is still crawling in Zhaohua.

"Go and ask if Zhu Zhang has a private message delivered."

The good news is the rhetoric of the official, and I really can't see any substance, to find out Liu Xianam's strength, we also have to look at Zhu Guiqiu and Zhang Yougeng's private letters.

However, Liu Rong really recognized Liu Xian's strength.

After Liu Yuezhao and the others heard the news, they looked at each other, shook their heads with complicated feelings, and really didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhu Guiqiu and Zhang Yougeng didn't move the Qingshi Pass for so long, and they were put in the hands of Liu Xian, a junior who had not been put into his eyes before, but it was a day. It's really embarrassing for them to be in Hunan Province.

Qingshi Pass.

After conquering here, Liu Xian did not rush to Chenggu. Because there is also an oil mill street in front of Qingshi Pass, which is one of the fulcrums of the Taiping army's siege of Nanzheng. If Liu Xian dared to drag a large army to Chenggu and arrive at Youfang Street, what was waiting for him would not be a battle like Qingshi Pass, but the main force of the entire Nanzheng Taiping Army.

Liu Xiantun was stationed at Qingshi Pass, he wanted to wait for the opportunity to move, and he wanted to rest the troops well. After a month's long journey, even if half of the time was spent on a boat, the team was very tired. I spent the first three days resting just to breathe a sigh of relief and regain my strength. Now he's going to have a good rest.

"Haha, Fifth Brother Liu is back." In Chenggu County, the military and civilians were jubilant. Liu Xianam, a person who used to have a mixed reputation in the people's reputation, has now become the pride and patron saint of the entire county.

Liu Xian people can't go to Chenggu, and the team can't pull Chenggu, but the news of Bingke Qingshi Pass can easily spread to Chenggu. In an instant, the military morale and public opinion, which had been shaken by the strength of the Taiping Army and the Righteous Army in recent months, immediately stabilized.

Wang Ruwei smiled in the county office. There must be unlucky people in this encounter, as long as you are optimistic about Chenggu, it will be a credit, and there will be no further opportunities in the future.

Crisis crisis is both a danger and an opportunity. Just like the previous promotion.

The Taiping Army, especially the Taiping Army in the Nanzheng area, under the autonomous general Lai Wenguang, everyone frowned, and their expressions were depressed and frightened. It is strongly inversely proportional to the elation in Chenggu County.

Youfang Street increased by tens of thousands of troops, including Qiu Yuancai's 4,000 remnants, and the total number reached 30,000. However, Lai Wenguang still can't rest assured, because among the so-called 30,000 troops who can really go to the battlefield to kill people and see blood, 10,000 is good.

The Western Expeditionary Legion has many people, but it has fallen into the mode of exile and cannot extricate itself. Without the plastered land of Huainan to settle down and accumulate strength, the Western Expeditionary Army, which has been wandering through the five provinces of Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Sichuan, and Shaanxi, is constantly increasing in number and momentum, but its combat strength has not increased substantially. Their foundation is still the remnants of Chen Yucheng!

Coupled with the emergence of Liu Xian, the development of some Taiping troops was somewhat curbed in Hanzhong, and Shi Dakai Dadu River did not die, and its subordinates, banners, front teams and other elites who could fight were not integrated into the Western Expeditionary Corps, compared with the same period in history, the Western Expeditionary Corps is undoubtedly much inferior.

Qi King Liang Chengfu led an army to Xu, Hu Wang Lan Chengchun led the main force to be nailed to Ningqiang, the commander Fu Wang led an elite to stay in Luoyang, the Qing army in Gansu made some moves, and then Lai Wenguang himself led the remaining troops to be nailed to Nanzheng. There are 30,000 or 40,000 Fu Wang and Qi Wang, and Lai Wenguang, King Hu and Zun Wang, who have 70,000 or 80,000 by themselves, seems to have a huge army, but only 30% more can really be used.

Lai Wenguang did not dare to underestimate the strength of the Qing army at Qingshi Pass, Liu Xian and Zhu Zhang, the strength of the three divisions could reach 10,000 people, and Liu Xian's army was particularly capable of fighting and daring to fight. Lai Wenguang only has these military strengths under his command, and while watching the Zheng Qing army in the south of the prison, he is really unable to resist Qingshi Pass.

Although Lai Wenguang hated him to the core, he only strengthened the garrison of Youfang Street, and did not dare to provoke half a point lightly.

A steady stream of news about Chenggu flowed into Liu Xian's hands. To what extent has the strength of the old battalion grown? To what extent has the relationship network under the county and urban areas been operated? What is the infiltration of the Chenggu Volunteer Battalion?

What is the attitude of the new county commander, and what is Li Ying's situation in Fucheng...... Even the Chenggu group training, which has not appeared in front of people for a long time, is the current situation?

Xuan has fallen, what are Deng Yuzhang, Li Danyang, Wang Kunyang, Meng Xichun and others like now? What happened to the Li family, Li Danyang is dead or not, can the line buried in the militia still be contacted?

The joint reports of Liu Zhuo, Qi Dalin, and Zhou Jun in the Ming Dynasty, the single reports of second-class generals such as Kong Lingren and Wei Ming, the private reports of Liu Zhuo, Qi Dalin, and Zhou Jun in secret, the secret reports of some middle-level generals such as the old brothers of the swordsman, and the letters and reports of several Liu Xian's cousins and cousins such as Huo Guangzheng, came one after another, breaking the secrets and conditions of Chenggu Yiqiē and putting them in front of Liu Xian without any cover.

This is a common means of controlling the army, but it is also a suspicious expression.

Because Liu Xian, who came from later generations, really didn't have much confidence in loyalty. In the society of material supremacy and money in later generations, the moral bottom line was too low.

Compared with the concept of 'loyalty' in traditional Chinese culture, Liu Xian must admit that he believes more - the so-called loyalty is only because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough!

More than 20 years of outlook on life and values cannot be changed in a year. Compared with the Chinese people of this era, Liu Xian's heart is darker.

He didn't believe in his 'charisma' and 'loyalty to his subordinates', especially in the early days, so it was necessary to choose close monitoring and control.

Frank, down-to-earth, broad, and sincere, just like the protagonist in the novel "Tang Qi" he read at some point, Liu Xian really can't do it!
