Chapter 57 Turning the Tide of History
ps: New week, new beginning, in order not to let ** run naked next week, everyone can support it! Support it!
"Shi Zhitu Chengdu has been invincible for a long time, and its momentum has declined. Today, the two armies lured the east and west, and they personally led the Chinese army to insert it, which was a strategy to complete their work in one battle. It must be hard and gally, not big and not shrinking.
Its top priority is to transition the Dadu River, and there should be two ways to cross the Dadu River in the north.
One of them is the big road, through Xichang, over the small Xiangling to Yuewang (xi), Haitang, until the big tree fort by the Dadu River, the opposite bank is Fulin.
The second is the small road, passing through Xichang to Lugu, going left to Mianning, Daqiao, Tuowu, Tiezaizai, until the Zidadi by the Dadu River. β
According to the envoy Yamen, Liu Xian pointed and drew on a geographical map of Sichuan Province, explaining the current battle situation for Zhang Shoudai, who was frowning.
Zhang Shoudai's mind was very heavy, "Although there are Tusi flood soldiers in Yuewang, Haitang, Dashubao and other places, the soil soldiers are unbearable, and the number of flood soldiers is small, how can they resist the advance of Shi Rebellion." "Chengdu really can't afford to lose, and what you want is everyone's head. There's a city full of them!
If Shi Dakai enters Chengdu and repeats the old events of Tianjing and Hangzhou, Zhang Shoudai is afraid that not only will he die, but he will also suffer disasters with his family descendants.
Liu Xian was very relaxed in his heart, he knew the direction of history, he was not worried about this battle at all, and he was also worried about Shi Dakai, but in front of Zhang Shoudai, his face was naturally very heavy. "My lord, there is no need to worry about this big road in the view of humble duties, we should worry more about the small road."
"There are also some horses in Yuewang, Begonia, Dashubao and other places, who dares to say that Shi Cheng will march into the army? After years of war, Shi Rebellion's deployment has long been no longer as brave as it was in the past, and Shi Rebellion is not worried about his own entry in case it does not go well, as long as he delays for three or five more days, my western Sichuan soldiers and horses can return to help? β
On the premise of knowing history, it is not too simple to put an afterthought. Liu Xian said that everything was reasonable and reasonable, and he reasoned about it for three points, so as not to make Zhang Shoudai suspicious.
"So, Shi Cheng wants to take the trail?"
"My lord."
"But the trail is rugged, there are many mountains and forests, and the stone has been in battle for a long time, how can it enter the Jedi?" Zidadi is located in the pine forest Tusi, which blocks the Dadu River in the north, borders the Songlin River in the west, and is the high mountains in the southeast.
"My lord, there are only thirteen ferries in the Dadu River from Anqingxun to Wangongdu for two hundred miles, and most of them are currently under the control of our army.
"And Ningyuan Stone is also a place of reverse, and when you go to Chengdu, you must find the natives and ask, the land of Mianning comes and goes to Chengdu, which is as convenient as a small road. Shi Reverse will listen to it!
If the lowly position is rebellious, then go to the trail and march westward. The army arrived at the Ke River, directly according to the Songlin Land Department, rare rice millet, all of which were reversed, and were used to reward the heart of the army. From the pine forest into Luding, through the whole sky, around Qiongzhou oil squeezing Tuo, in an instant, the army can be approaching Chengdu, and the soldiers take advantage of the virtual master to move quickly. β
Liu Xian's brain is about to be squeezed dry. It's so bothersome to talk to Zhang Shoudai. You have to talk about Wen Qing a little bit, but where does he have that ability?
I don't know how many days he thought about it and how many brain cells he died!
"That makes sense!" Zhang Shoudai clapped his hands, his eyebrows and eyes were contemplative, and he slowly paced in the room. After turning for several weeks, he stopped, and his eyes pressed on Liu Xian, "You immediately organize your troops into the trail, and be sure to intercept the sluggish stone against the Dadu Henan, until the main force of the official army in western Sichuan arrivesββ"
"As long as it is done, this official will guarantee your future as a deputy general, and the general army can be expected in the future." Zhang Shoudai's face was very solemn, "But if you don't do it, the official's head is not protected, what will happen to you?" β
"Don't worry, sir. Inferior than blocking stones is contrary to Dadu Henan! β
Liu Xian finally waited for the end of this conversation, and Zhang Shoudai was convinced, and it didn't take him to rack his brains for the hard work of these days. And waited for a future guarantee-
Zhang Shoudai hurriedly left the Yamen and rushed to the Governor's Palace, and he wanted to immediately discuss with Luo Bingzhang and Chonghou. The main force of the Qing army in western Sichuan should go to Zida quickly, and the division bluffed into Yuewang, Haitang, Dashubao and other places.
There is also Songlin Tusi Wang Yingyuan must be bought, and the court's 'righteousness' will be excited, and the profits will be promised! Qiongbu Tusiling Chengen also had to be quickly mobilized. It's just that this is not as good as Wang Yingyuan, as early as in the previous battle, Ling Chengen had been firmly tied to the Manchu ship, and he had a blood feud with the Taiping army.
Liu Xian looked at Wang Yingyuan's back in a hurry and narrowed his eyes, he wanted to see how Luo Bingzhang kept up with the top this time, whether he was still shameless to say that the tens of thousands of heavy soldiers transferred from Yazhou and other places were said that when he defeated Lai Yuxin, he had already estimated that Shi Da would hold a meeting to "take advantage of the situation", so he "urgently transferred heavy troops [or the most capable part of the Hunan army in Sichuan] and galloped to Yajun Rongjing as the stamina, and prevented Benyi, and led the Yi soldiers to lead the Yi soldiers to cut off the passes of the Yuewang Road. "It's shameless!
In history, Shi Dakai was surrounded by purple and beaten to the ground for a month, and the Taiping army was cut off for more than half a month, and the Taiping army repeatedly attacked and forcibly crossed the Dadu River and the Songlin River, and the elite was lost. But the Qing army still couldn't wipe it out. Shi Dakai's last 30,000 Taiping troops could only have 6,000 people and still have the strength to follow the east, but they were still able to rise up and fight dozens of miles to reach Lijibao, and the weakness of the Qing army surrounding Shi Dakai's combat strength and numbers can be seen.
If it weren't for the Taiping Army's strict lack of food, and if it weren't for the fact that the terrain of Zida was too dangerous, Luo Bingzhang would not have been able to make this monstrous achievement. After his death, he gave the prince and the prince, and enshrined him in the Xian Liang Temple, and was called Wenzhong.
Liu Xian is in Chengdu, but his team is in Rongjing, and the reason is naturally Luo Bingzhang's 'precautions'. At the end of April, he rushed to Chengdu with Zhang Shoudai, and was sent to Rongjing by Luo Bingzhang almost immediately.
Tens of thousands of Hunan troops in the entire Yazhou Mansion, plus themselves and the local Tusi, can really be described as a heavy army.
After Liu Xian led his troops to Rongjing, he was stationed in Qingxi, which was close to Luding. He himself quickly visited his colleagues in the Qing army around him, and immediately returned to Chengdu with dozens of relatives. Because he knew that Shi Dakai was about to enter Ning Yuan.
Only two days after returning to Chengdu, the bad news came from Pegasus. Luo Bingzhang and Chonghou convened the city's civil and military deliberations above the five grades, and the news was sent to the Yamen of the Inspectorate. I first had a small meeting with Zhang Shoudai and leaked all my private goods to him.
"My lord......" Fan Debiao was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw Liu Xian coming out, he immediately stepped forward.
"The horses are ready!" He is now Liu Xian's personal entourage, and he has been with Liu Xian for a long time, and Liu Xian's personal soldier leader is his cousin Huo Guangcheng.
In Chenggu, Liu Xian does not have brothers of the same clan, but his mother has, he is not a widow. Huo Guangcheng is his aunt's cousin. There is also a cousin, Huo Guangzheng, who is working in the baggage battalion under Fan Debang, and there are cousins in the army!
