Chapter 64: No Dick! (Ask for collection)
Three days of heavy rain came as scheduled. As in the historical record, without warning, it suddenly fell.
After dawn the next day, Liu Xian could not see the Taiping army on the other side of the river, even the camp where he was located. Heaven and earth were imprisoned by heavy rain.
In three days, the Taiping army on the other side had already occupied the camp left by Liu Xian, and the number of people had expanded from about 5,000 to 10,000. But what made Liu Xian strange and joyful was that Shi Dakai's follow-up troops were never nowhere to be seen.
The Shida Kaibu in the purple field has changed from 30,000 or 40,000 people in historical time and space to 10,000 people.
In three days, Liu Xian ushered in Tang Yougeng, Hu Zhonghe and the second department, who braved the rain and came forward. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses filled all the space in front of people. Compared with Liu Xianam's virtual strategy, this is a real soldier.
On the fourth day, the heavy rain stopped.
The Dadu River is twenty or thirty zhang wide, and the water surface is also two or three zhang high, with countless stumps and broken leaves, and animal carcasses that appear from time to time, floating on the water.
After three days, the Qing army and the Taiping army were able to face each other across the river again. But at this time, Liu Xian had a calm face, and his eyes did not look at Shi Da Kaijun opposite, but looked at his friendly army - Tang Hu Erbu with compassion.
Tang Yougeng and Hu Zhonghe's attitude towards Liu Xian was very bad, and there was no friendliness in their eyes when they looked at Liu Xian, let alone the shock and impressment that Liu Xian imagined, and even wooed him. only contempt, disdainful, like seeing the thief who stole his credit, seeing the fortunate people, **naked rejection, made Liu Xian angry in his heart.
What's this TM?
Liu Xian was conceited that he did not deceive at all, and no one could find fault with him in the war against Shi Da when no one knew the direction of history. These two people actually look at themselves so much? Even the generals under their command were arrogant in the face of Liu Xian's army.
On the fourth day, Liu Xian moved to the Songlin River. On the same day, Shi Dakai moved his division back, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops did not launch an attack on the Dadu River defense line, but quickly returned south.
On May 20, Tang Yougeng and Hu Zhonghe tried to cross the river, but the fleet was affected by a wave of pre-flood tide, capsized more than 10 ships, and killed more than 100 people.
On May 22, most of the Tang and Hu divisions crossed the river, and Zidadi made contact with the friendly forces on the left and right, knowing that Cai Buzhong, the governor of Yazhou Prefecture, had recruited courage nearby, and cooperated with Tusiling Chengen of the Qiongbu to lead the Yi soldiers to cut off Shi Dakai's retreat into Ningyuan Mansion. Tang Jiong's troops were stationed in Hualinping (now Luding South), Xie Guotai's troops guarded Menghugang, and controlled the road of Zhì Tong Arrow Furnace (now Kangding). Then Tang Hu Erbu pressed from the north bank of the Dadu River, and Shi Dakai was already encircled on all sides.
But these things have nothing to do with Liu Xian. Luo Bingzhang's order had been sent to Liu Xian's army, and when Tang and Hu's second troops went south on the 22nd, Liu Xian raised his troops to the north, and the destination was Rongjing, "to fill the emptiness of Yazhou". This is Luo Bingzhang's old saying!
"TM's this is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! A bunch of melons—"
At the meeting in the army before leaving, Liu Xian's cousin Huo Guangcheng scolded. Everyone was angry, Shi Dakai was encircled, and the next thing was obviously the time for the results, but Luo Bingzhang ordered to transfer himself back to Rongjing! It's just too deceitful.
It was Fan Debang who burst into foul language.
On the 23rd, Liu Xian received a handwritten letter from Zhang Shoudai. The letter didn't say much, just let him accept it honestly and don't complain. Preventing Shi Da from crossing the river is already a miracle, and the deputy general is waiting for him.
Liu Xian is not a real turtle, although he was ** silk in his previous life, he is also 'well-informed'. Novels, television, and conspiracy theories are prevalent, as long as you calm down and analyze one or two, you can still draw some conclusions.
It is correct to say that Chengdu crossed the river and demolished the bridge. In Chengdu's view, Shi Dakai fell into a heavy encirclement and succumbed to a disadvantage, and then it was the moment to make contributions, and this opportunity to eat fat meat naturally had to be given to his own people.
Tang Yougeng and Hu Zhonghe, that is, the sons of Chengdu, represent the local military system of Sichuan Province and the powerful and incomparable Hunan army from outside.
Compared with these two 'positions', whether it is Liu Xian or Zhang Shoudai, they have to take a break from the side.
Moreover, Liu Xian was sluggish at the critical juncture Shi Dakai's marching speed, fought many battles, and blocked Shi Dakai on the south bank of the Dadu River, although it was more with God's help, a good rain, but it was definitely a miracle, and the credit was big enough. If you want to eat meat again, some people above will seem to be dissatisfied.
The answer is to use the provisions of officialdom to answer, that is, it is not allowed to eat alone.
In advertising terms, it's really good when everyone is good.
After all, none of them knew that Shi Dakai could be overtaken in this battle.
It's just that on the plate of cake that 'defeated Shi Dakai', there is no room for an outsider who has already obtained a small cake but is weak to share it.
On May 30, Shi Dakai broke through the interception of Cai Buzhong and Ling Chengen, and led his troops to rush out of the Mianning Trail, and the 40,000 Taiping army was still less than 30,000.
Tang Yougeng and Hu Zhonghe bit Shi Dakai's troops fiercely, and they were satisfied and did not want to attack Ningyuan again, and the two armies formed a stalemate.
At this point, Shi Dakai devoted himself to attainment for two months, exhausted all his strength, mobilized all his forces, and launched an offensive against Chengdu, which ended in defeat.
Luo Bingzhang sent a good news to Beijing, saying: In the edict to the Minister of Military Aircraft, Shi Dakai was the most cunning and good at fighting among the first evils in the rebellion in Guangdong. This time, he was determined to peek into the river, and his momentum was very strong, and his plan was very cunning. Bingzhang knew that he should be good at taking advantage of the gap, and sent troops in advance to intercept and suppress along the river. Broken stone reversed one arm Lai Yuxin, and then made the accumulation of years, 20,000 thieves, and a drum of decline.
Liu Xian also has a brilliance in the good news, so he has the title of deputy general. From the beginning of the army in the middle of last year to the present, in just one year, he has jumped from a flat-headed ordinary person to a dignified deputy general, and Liu Xianam's promotion is faster than being a rocket.
But he didn't have a trace of joy in his heart, because his lieutenant general was attached to Tang Yougeng's Chongqing Town. And after experiencing the previous incident, Liu Xian not only felt bad about Xiangjun, but also had a bad impression of Tang Yougeng and Tang Yougeng's backstage Luo Bingzhang.
The matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is a basin of cold water, which extinguishes the last trace of admiration for this era in Liu Xian's heart.
Really, Liu Xian really admires Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang. He also maintains a sense of respect for the Hunan Army, the largest military group in China today.
No matter what the strength of this military group is, whether the system is advanced or backward, just look at its original group of initiators, a group of scholars and scribes of the Huxiang school, scholars leading the troops, and abandoning the pen and following the army, it is worthy of admiration.
Ya, if the scribes of the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party, the Fushe, etc., have the brutality of the Huxiang School, and I want to push the whole of China sideways, isn't it a fantasy?
A little farther in the article of the prosperous north and south of the Song Dynasty, what is the great Liaoxi Xia Dajin......
This is a kind of progress in Chinese culture. It is a pity that Liu Xian did not continue to carry forward this progress, but after leveling the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army, he went to the grave himself!
But now, Liu Xian is not **!
