Chapter 25 Lin Qirong and Jiao Liang hit it off
The next day Qing Dynasty
Jiao Liang looked at the newly appeared 'Chu' and 'Jiang' flags on the city wall, especially the 'Jiang' flag running through the entire city wall, hunting under the autumn wind, as if laughing at him!
He Lu cautiously stepped forward and said tentatively: "Dudu, are you still attacking the city today?" ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and waited with bated breath for the wrath of the thunder, thinking: The governor did not hesitate to quarrel with the commander Zeng several times in order to capture Nanchang, and even parted ways with the commander in the end.
Jiao Liang sighed and said helplessly: "I was stranded in Jingdezhen for a day, but as a result, the Qing Demon summoned more than 16,000 villagers to enter Nanchang according to Zhou Yuheng and Liu Kaitai, the chief soldier, and yesterday it was delayed for a few hours, and the Qing Demon had reinforcements into the city overnight, this is providence!" Let's withdraw our troops and prepare to attack Ji'an, Linjiang, and Yuanzhou in Jiangxi. ”
Hearing that the governor did not fall into the thunderous rage, but the wind and drizzle, He Lu was ignorant for a long time, and when he saw the governor walking towards the camp, he hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Aren't we going to join the army commander?" I heard that the army commander has attacked Guangxin Mansion and is besieging Shangrao,! ”
Jiao Liang just glared back at him, and quickly walked into the depths of the big tent.
He Luxin said: It seems that the governor still has a grudge against the commander, and it seems that it is time to stand in line!
"Governor Qiqi, there is an army coming ten miles in front of our army, looking at their banner and dressing like the Fourteenth Division of the Seventh Army!" The scout entered the tent and said to the scorching scorching man who had bowed his head and slept pretendically.
Jiao Liang exclaimed: "It's Lin Qirong!" How many people came from the 14th Division? ”
"About 10,000 people!"
Jiao Liang stood up and asked in disbelief, "You read that right!" There really are 10,000 people! ”
The scout's face did not change and said: "The little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense, he has checked it three times!" ”
Jiao Liang was puzzled and muttered to himself, "Strange! Didn't King Han order Lin Qirong to guard Jiujiang! Jiujiang is the upper barrier of Anqing and Nanjing, for this reason, the king of Han also gave the Seventh Army a staff of 30,000 people, and the 14th Division only has more than 11,000 people, how could Lin Qirong bring out 10,000 at once? ”
There must be a demon when things go wrong, so call Lin Qirong to ask clearly! Otherwise, King Han will blame him, and I won't be able to escape responsibility!
……
Lin Qirong heard that Jiao Liang, the governor of Jiangxi, was not far ahead, so he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Lin Qirong, the 14th Division of the Seventh Army, pays a visit to Jiao Dudu!"
Jiao Liang stepped forward and asked, "Why is Senior Lin here?" Didn't the King of Han order you to guard Jiujiang! ”
Li Qirong said with a smile: "The governor doesn't have to worry, my 14th Division still has more than 4,000 people from the first regiment and 6,000 militiamen to defend Jiujiang, and the more than 9,000 people brought by the last general are just chasing and killing the head of the Jiang demon." ”
Jiao Liang joined the Han army in Changsha, Hunan, and didn't know the details of Jiang Zhongyuan, so he said: "What kind of demon can make you take such a big risk, if the King of Han knows, I'm afraid he will blame you, you better go back to Jiujiang quickly!" ”
Lin Qirong remembered that Jiao Liang didn't understand the hatred between Jiang Zhongyuan and the King of Han, and hurriedly told the truth about the relationship between Feng Yunshan and Li Yunzhong, and how Jiang Zhongyuan killed Feng Yunshan.
Jiao Liang touched his chin and said: "So the head of the Jiang demon is dyed red with Feng Yunshan's blood, His Royal Highness hates the head of the Jiang demon, if we kill the head of the Jiang demon, His Highness will definitely be happy!" Even if you make a small mistake before, it will be written off! ”
Lin Qirong smiled silently, wondering in his heart whether Jiao Dudu had offended His Royal Highness, and whether Wang Niang Xu had fallen out of favor!
"It's a pity that I still let the head of the Jiang demon escape into Nanchang, I don't know why Jiao Dudu is here?"
Jiao Liang said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Han ordered our army to attack Jiangxi, I think the defense of Nanchang City is lax, and the Qing demon is also afraid of death and has no fighting spirit, so he led the army to attack Nanchang!" ”
Lin Qirong shook his head secretly, this Jiao Dudu is really a sage who has read too many books, and he will only talk on paper, this Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi Province, and a large number of Qing demons are entrenched here, and they will resist desperately for their topping, which will let you fight thousands of people! If you don't meet me, you will lose your armor at least, or you will be wiped out!
Jiao Liang saw that Lin Qirong smiled and didn't answer, and asked embarrassedly, "I don't know what Senior Lin is going to do next?" Is it to attack Nanchang, or to withdraw to Jiujiang? ”
Lin Qirong thought about it, and didn't know what to do, he had been holding back in Jiujiang for nearly a year, he could only train and strengthen the city wall, in the past two months, he was so idle that he launched all his strength to build a large number of fortifications on the periphery of Jiujiang, in fact, he wanted to attack Jiangxi, but he was suffering from no name, and now he saw Jiao Rong inquiring, and carefully tentatively said: "The last general wants to take the head of the Jiang demon head to celebrate His Royal Highness's birthday, but I am weak, I'm afraid it will ......."
Jiao Liang recalled the scene of the 14th Division's tens of thousands of troops, advancing by waterway, approaching Nanchang, how could he not believe that others were weak, it seems that Lin Qirong, this kid is not willing to return to Jiujiang, it is exactly what I want, it is better to leave him behind and assist me in attacking Jiangxi, in this way, I will definitely be able to suppress Zeng Shuiyuan!
"Yes! It's a pity to let go of the Jiang Demon Head like this! It's just that there are already 17,800 defenders in Nanchang City! We can't conquer it alone.
It is better for us to lead troops to attack Linjiang Mansion, Ji'an Mansion, and Yuanzhou Mansion, and the head of the Jiang Demon will definitely send reinforcements, and we will set up an ambush to attack it, which can not only capture the city but also weaken the defense of Nanchang City, killing two birds with one stone! After the last one, our strength is getting bigger and bigger, but the strength of the Qing Demon is getting weaker and weaker, and it is not easy to take Jiang Zhongyuan's head! ”
Lin Qirong was overjoyed, as long as Governor Jiao invited him, he would have an excuse to deal with the army commander Li Desheng, and with the army commander's personality, he might let me fight a good war, and don't lose the face of the Seventh Army!
"Since the governor is invited, how dare Lin disobey! It's just that Hu Dudu still needs Jiao Dudu to explain a thing or two. ”
Jiao Liang waved his big hand and promised: "Hu Dudu handed it over to me, I believe he will give me a face." ”
"Report to the governor of Qiqi, there is a Qing demon fleet on the Ganjiang River, which is less than 30 miles away from Nanchang, they are all on troop carriers, there is no warship to escort them, and the small ones estimate that they have about 5,000 people! It's not like a green battalion, it's like practicing bravery! The spies learned from the last experience, and finished all the information at once, and saw Jiao Dudu waving his hand and bowing his head and exiting the camp.
Lin Qirong rubbed his hands together excitedly, and asked, "Governor, are we going to send troops to intercept them and wipe them out." ”
Jiao Liang remembered the Nanchang City that had been repeatedly attacked, and wanted to be ashamed, so he said fiercely: "No, since it is Lian Yong, he must have no combat experience, and lead Lian Yong to Nanchang City, we will set up an ambush here, which can not only destroy them, but also attract the defenders in the city to go out of the city to support......"
Li Qirong said with a smile: "Clever plan, even if all the Qing demons go out of the city, we can annihilate them with our troops!" After all, there are only three or four thousand elites in the city, and the rest are all villagers who have no combat effectiveness, so it's okay for them to defend the city and fight with us in the field! It's just vulnerable! ”
Luo Zenan, Guo Songtao, Liu Rong and others heard that there was a group of anti-thieves on the shore and stood on the shore and shouted at them, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, and they felt in their hearts that the anti-thieves should run away when they saw them, not to provoke them.
Seeing that the thieves on the shore did not take advantage of the weapons and had no formation, Li Xubin decided that they were just a group of rabble, and asked: "Why don't we go ashore and kill them, and enter Nanchang with their heads, we will definitely impress Jiangxi officials." ”
Luo Zenan praised happily: "Kehui said well! This place is less than thirty miles away from Nanchang, and we must show the momentum of the king when we march ashore! Let these green battalion soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death see that Lian Yong is also stronger than them, and they are ashamed! ”
Cheng Xueqi saw the Qing Demon's ship approaching, and ordered his subordinates to pick up the stones on the shore and throw them at the boat, for a while it was like a rain of stones, and many stones also smashed on the boat to practice bravery, arousing a burst of angry scolding.
Luo Zenan, Li Xubin and the others all looked at the falling stones with pale faces, which made them angry more than the anti-thieves lining up on the shore to meet the enemy, it was simply humiliating them!
When the boat sailed to a shallow place, many Lian Yong jumped out of the boat, holding a knife in one hand and covering his head with the other, and walked quickly towards the shore in the face of the stone rain.
Cheng Xueqi greeted his subordinates: "Brothers, enough!" Remove! Hurry up and retreat in the intended direction! ”
Li Xubin stopped Xiang Yong's pursuit and shouted: "Assemble the team first!" Battalion officers and staff quickly form the team! Let's chase the thief after the whole team! ”
Guo Songtao watched Li Xubin stand neatly on the shore after a while, and couldn't help but admire.
"Kehui is really a general! Congratulations to Brother Zhongyue for accepting this good apprentice! ”
