After receiving Qi Shan's performance, Rong Lu and Cheng En sent the other sticky guards back to restore their lives, and the two and Zabudonak stayed in Jiangbei Camp to help with military affairs.

The next morning, after breakfast, Qi Shan sent someone to summon Rong Lu to go to the camp to discuss military affairs. Rong Lu and Cheng En left Zabudona to guard the luggage, and the two hurriedly rushed to Qi Shan's handsome tent after getting dressed neatly.

When they arrived in the tent, they saw Qi Shan, Chen Jinshou, the governor of Zhili, Lei Yixuan, the political envoy and others were there, and after Rong Lu and Cheng En stepped forward to greet and salute, Qi Shan coughed and motioned for the two to sit on the last seat.

After all the generals arrived, Chen Jinshou got up and said with a gloomy face: "According to the report of the spies, the long-haired rebel flood thief, Yang thief and others have led the army of long-haired thieves from Hunan to Jiangning, along the way the two thieves of Hong and Yang coerced more than 100,000 displaced people, claiming to be 500,000 people into Jiangning, a few days ago the two thieves of Hong Yang issued a false edict claiming to be the capital of Jiangning. In the past few days, Guazhou and Zhenjiang have been rebelling, and it seems that they are preparing to cross the river and go north. Now the long-haired thief pseudo-West King Ti 100,000 troops are storming Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places, the emperor ordered me to quickly transfer troops to cross the Yangtze River to the south to relieve the siege of Shanghai and Suzhou-Hangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the foundation of my Qing Dynasty Cao Yun, and there is no room for loss, but at this moment, Jiangning Long Hair is rebellious and ready to move, Lao Zhongtang is in charge of Jiangbei Military Affairs, and he also has to guard against Long Hair crossing the river to the north. And how to break the siege? ”

After hearing this, the generals were all embarrassed, and whispered in private, but no one got up to speak. Qi Shannai is the minister of Qincha, the commander-in-chief of Jiangbei military affairs, not only limited to Jiangbei camp is his defense area, Anhui and other places are also his defense areas, in addition to Guazhou on the Qianli River, the Taiping army also occupies Wuchang and other places, and can also directly send troops to threaten the hinterland of Jiangbei. Qi Shan's adjustable troops are very few, and at a glance it seems that there are loopholes everywhere, and he can't manage his own defense, and it is really difficult to organize soldiers and horses to go south to relieve the siege of Shanghai and Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Not to mention that the Taiping Army of the West Palace has more than 100,000 people in southern Jiangsu, it is Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West who besieged Shanghai, who made the generals in the tent feel troublesome. As the Taiping army and the Qing army fought for a long time, the various princes and generals of the Taiping army began to know about the Qing army, and they also understood that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, and his subordinates were divided into five kings in the southeast, northwest and northwest wings, among which the king of the south had died in battle in Quanzhou. Among the rest of the princes, the East King is in charge of the overall situation, and the West King Xiao Chaogui is the most capable member of the Taiping Army. Since the beginning of the army in Jintian, this person seems to have been the vanguard of the Taiping Army, fighting Yong'an, attacking Guilin, Xiachenzhou, attacking Changsha, breaking Yuezhou, and capturing Wuhan. Zuihou killed all the way to Jiangning City, and Jiangning broke through the city in a battle. Kill all the Manchus who resisted in the city. And this puppet king of the West called all the way, and killed a lot of governors, governors, and admirals, so that the puppet king of the West was regarded as a first-class thief by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and mentioning the name of Xiao Chaogui had the effect of stopping the Manchu children from crying at night.

The generals in the tent were all worried in their hearts, for fear that Qi Shandian would lead his troops to cross the Jiangnan expedition, and now the soldiers and horses in the Jiangbei battalion are short of money and food. And to face the fierce god of the long-haired pseudo-king of the West who is known as not defeated, this is tantamount to sending food to the pseudo-king of the west in southern Jiangsu.

Seeing that no one answered, Chen Jinshou coughed and continued: "Master Wu Jianzhang of Su Song Taidao has sent several times to ask for help, and Songjiang Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion and other places are also under the rule of Jiangsu. Lord Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu, is now defending Suzhou, and the rest do not know whether it is Lord Gilhang'a who is the envoy of Jiangsu to lead the troops to the south? Or is it that the political envoy of Jiangsu, Lord Lei Yiyan, led the troops south? ”

As soon as this remark came out, the generals echoed their words, the Qing law officials have the responsibility to defend the land, and those who lose the land are guilty of capital crimes, Songjiang Mansion, including Shanghai, is under the rule of Jiangsu, and the governor has gone to Suzhou, and the responsibility for rescuing Songjiang Mansion should of course be borne by the political envoy and the procurator. Chen Jinshou said this because most of the generals in the account are now guest generals, but the commanders or commanders mobilized by other provinces, and it seems that the responsibility of the generals is not as great as that of the local officials in Jiangsu.

Lei Yiyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, he was good at the matter of Qiangu cloth, but he was very bad at military affairs, and when he heard Chen Jinshou say this, he couldn't help but be very worried, but he didn't know how to answer. Gilhanga tastes tea leisurely, this person is a Manchurian Yellow Flag person, Chitra's, the word Yushan. At the beginning, the director of the Ministry of Industry moved to Langzhong, and went to Jiangsu as an alternate as a Taoist, and was the acting inspector, and after the establishment of the Jiangbei camp, he helped to handle military affairs here.

This person is more tactful than Lei Yixuan, after listening to Chen Jinshou's words, he said with a faint smile: "Chen Junmen's words are wrong, Xia Guan and Lord Lei are the people who help to handle Jiangbei military affairs, and raising money and food is our top priority, as for the matter of leading the troops, it seems that the new governor of Jiangnan Lord Hechun is the most suitable, and now Lord Hechun has led 3,000 soldiers to Yangzhou, and it is most appropriate for Lord Hechun to lead the troops south." ”

Rong Lu shook his head secretly, these civil and military generals fought for each other when they had benefits, and they pushed them around one by one when they encountered a vicious battle, I really didn't understand how the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history could be defeated by such a corrupt court.

Chen Jinshou sighed and said: "Lord Hechun has been fighting with long-haired thieves in Hunan and Guidi for a long time, he knows the roots, and Lord Hechun is brave and good at fighting, and the arrival of the new army will definitely be unstoppable, so it is better for Lord Hechun to lead the troops south to relieve the siege of Shanghai and Suzhou and Hangzhou, I don't know what will happen to the public will?" ”

When the generals heard this, they echoed it one after another, and it was another scene than just now, many people got up and boasted about how brave He Chun was, and some people said that He Chun was the governor of Jiangnan, and he should be in charge of Su Song's Taidao military affairs, and it was most suitable for him to lead the troops to the south.

After the generals were in chaos for a while, Chen Jinshou clenched his fists and said to Qi Shan: "Old Zhongtang, you see that all the generals are willing to lead the troops to Nandu to help, I don't know what Old Zhongtang wants?" ”

After Qi Shan coughed a few times at first, he leaned back in the chair panting, half-asleep and listening to the generals' arguments, and only when he heard Chen Jinshou asking, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "Hechun? Didn't He Chun say that he was guarding Yangzhou? Will he go south? ”

Chen Jinshou immediately said: "Lao Zhongtang and relieved, his subordinates can immediately rush to Yangzhou to take over the defense of the adults, he is the new governor of Jiangnan, and he is in charge of Songjiang Mansion, he should be in charge of the military affairs of Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang, and he should also cross the river, what is the matter of staying in Yangzhou?" ”

Qi Shan coughed twice, and said weakly: "Changzhou and Zhenjiang have fallen, Suzhou and Songjiang are being besieged urgently, he and Yuting should go south, it's really not a matter to stay in Yangzhou all the time." ”

Chen Jinshou and the other generals hurriedly echoed, Qi Shan squinted his eyes at the generals, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, the old man will personally go to Yangzhou and urge Heyuting to lead the troops south." ”

"The old middle hall is slow." Rong Lu suddenly got up and clasped his fists and said loudly: "Let's listen to the words of the juniors." ”

Qi Shan laughed and said, "What is Zhonghua's opinion?" ”

Rong Lu has no military position in the camp, so it stands to reason that he has no face to speak, but he is the person that Qi Shan likes, and he has just offered a golden strategy, and the generals dare not underestimate him, and when they see that Qi Shan does not think about Rong Lu's interjection, he will not speak.

Rong Lu took a step forward and said: "Old Zhongtang, the juniors think that Lord Hechun is weak in leading the troops south alone, and the Zhenjiang long-haired thieves and sailors are rampant, and it is very likely that they will be cut off and trapped in the land of Su Song. The younger generation thought that in order to relieve the siege of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai, we could not only rely on our Jiangbei battalion to send troops, but also all provinces should work together. ”

Qi Shan sighed, straightened up slightly, and said, "Zhonghua can be prepared to elaborate." ”

Rong Lu coughed lightly, and said Kankan: "The younger generation has seen the imperial court in Shanghai, Yangzhou and other places, and is familiar with the wars everywhere, and the long-haired thief is now laid out along the Yangtze River, and the two heads are like two burdens, the west is carrying the Hunan land, the east is the land of southern Jiangsu, and the middle is the land plundered along the Yangtze River, but these places are too narrow and long, and the official army will break its layout if it is a north-south attack." After the two thieves led the troops to Jiangning, although they claimed to be 500,000 people, they were expected to be mostly old and weak women and children, and the number of soldiers who could fight should be 100,000. In the land of Jiangxi Province, Jiang Zhongyuan, Jiang and others will fight with the long-haired thief, and Jiang will be overlooked, and it is expected that the long-haired thief will be helpless for a while. ”

Qi Shan nodded and smiled: "Hair rebel picked a pair of flat shoulders? The analogy is very similar. Yes, if he hadn't rebelled and stationed troops in Guazhou, the old man would also want to transfer troops to overcome Jiujiang, Wuchang and other places. Zhonghua, you go on. ”

Rong Lu continued: "The younger generation thinks that now they want to save Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai, and send troops together in Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui, and Fujian. Lord Jiang Zhongyuan of Jiangxi Province should wave his troops to the north, attack the hinterland of the long-haired thieves, and force Jiangning Long-haired not to dare to cross the river easily. The officers and armies of Hunan and Hubei should also send troops to attack Yuezhou, Xiangtan and other places, thinking that they should be contained. Fujian soldiers and horses raised ships in Ningbo, Zhoushan and other places, crossed Hangzhou Bay by boat, and went ashore in Haining and other places. And when our Jiangbei battalion arrived in Guangdong, we occupied Chongming Island, crossed the river to capture Baoshan, Wusong and other places, and then together with Haining's Fujian reinforcements, they attacked the puppet king of the West who besieged Shanghai in the north and south! As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, since the pseudo-king of the West is in Shanghai, then we will lead the troops to kill it, as long as we can kill this fang in one fell swoop, the thieves he is wearing will inevitably be leaderless. The younger generation heard that the long-haired thief and several pseudo-princes have always had their own military horses, as long as the pseudo-king of the West is removed, his soldiers and horses will be divided by the rest of the long-haired pseudo-kings, and the long-haired pseudo-kings will be busy dividing up the soldiers and horses will not have time to take care of us, and then we will be able to wave our troops to fight back! ”

After Rong Lu finished speaking, he was full of joy and thought that all the people in the tent would applaud together, but after he finished speaking, there was silence in the tent, and all the generals looked at him like a monster, even Qi Shan looked at him blankly, so that Rong Lu was flustered for a while, did he make an axe and say something wrong?
