Xingzhen sneered in her heart, the Taiping Army still followed history, and dared to divide troops everywhere without stabilizing the base areas in the south, do you really think that the Qing army anywhere is vulnerable?

Xingzhen took her hand and stroked Emperor Xianfeng's undulating chest, and said quietly: "Don't be angry, Emperor," Emperor Xianfeng said coldly to Yang Qingxi: "Did Governor Lu's military report say how many traitors there were?" ”

Yang Qingxi glanced at Emperor Xianfeng, and the emperor also glared at him, and hurriedly replied with his head down: "The thieves claim to be an army of 100,000, and according to Governor Lu's report, it is about 30,000. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xingzhen persuaded Emperor Xianfeng to sit back on the kang, and then sneered: "Hmph, the traitor wants to go on a northern expedition with 30,000 horses?" Take the Central Plains lightly? Did Yang Xiu halal think it was the reincarnation of his own Yue Wumu? After thinking for a while, if Yang Xiuqing was Yue Fei, wouldn't the Qing court be a golden vulture, so he quickly turned his face in embarrassment and said to Emperor Xianfeng, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this traitor is killing himself when he comes to the north." ”

Yang Qingxi wiped his sweat, sighed, and quickly stood up, Emperor Xianfeng said distressedly: "This traitor is going north, and this is seeing that the thieves in Shandong and Henan are going to be in the same stream again, the situation in the south is rotten, and the Central Plains is also rotten, how can I not be annoyed!" ”

"The traitor originally relied on the sailor to cross the south of the Yangtze River, but now the traitor dares to abandon the sailor ship, and relies on the infantry to come to the flat land of the Central Plains to compete with the emperor, this is not a self-defeating road, and the traitor actually dares to abandon the two big battalions in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and the henchmen are in disregard, and the expedition is thousands of miles, we can just wait for work and break it in one fell swoop!" Emperor Xianfeng's expression was much soothed when he heard this, and he looked at Xingzhen and asked, "Lan'er, what do you think?" "The concubine thinks that there is a rebellion in Shandong and Jiangsu, are you deploying defenses in Shandong again, Your Majesty? Then the traitor will not go to the place we have prepared,"

Emperor Xianfeng asked suspiciously: "Why don't the rebels go to the same place with the thieves?" ”

"If the two sides converge in one place, then who should listen to whose orders? This thief has established a country, and the thief dares to be the king, the emperor said, if these two parties can be like-minded, then it is really a hell! Even if it's a temporary contact, it must be fine, in order to prevent the rebellion from taking the sheep by the hand, the false way to cut down the thief, the thief must not let the thief pass the place where he is entrenched! The concubine thought that the 30,000 troops of the Northern Expedition would inevitably enter Anhui and cross the river in Henan or somewhere in Anhui! ”

Xingzhen took the tea poured by Fan'er and presented it to Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Xianfeng took the bowl and was silent, thinking carefully about Xingzhen's words, "Your Majesty, have you already ordered Zhili and Shanxi soldiers to go to Shandong to set up defenses?" ”

"Exactly, more than 10,000 people have already been sent to Shandong."

"If the concubine expects that the route of the rebel's northern expedition is not bad, then the Shaanxi-Gansu cavalry that the emperor you are hiding should also come in handy, immediately ask the Shaanxi general army to cross the Tongguan with the soldiers, and Hou is on the edge of the Yellow River in Henan, waiting for the traitor to want to cross the river, and half of the attack on it! All parts of Anhui and Henan only need to protect themselves, slowly squeeze the rebels into one place, and wait for the cavalry of Shaanxi to be annihilated in one fell swoop! Your Majesty, I don't know what other capable generals we have in the north? ”

Emperor Xianfeng thought for a while, "Hmm, Chahar's cavalry is usable, and the knights of the Horqin Department of the Monk King have also been returned, Lan'er, what do you mean?" ”

"The 30,000 rebels in the Northern Expedition can't leave a single person or a horse! It is necessary to annihilate them all, let the people of the world see that the green battalion in the south is not good, and it is necessary to rely on local regimental training to exterminate it by itself, but our cavalry in the north is still good! In addition to extinguishing the arrogance of rebellion, it is also necessary to deter the twist thieves in the Central Plains, who are originally half-peasants and half-bandits, and they are deterred, and the situation in the Jianghuai area of Shandong will certainly be beneficial in the future! So, the concubine thinks that the monk king should be released, this family member doesn't help, who can help us! ”

Emperor Xianfeng listened to this, his eyebrows fluttered, and when he heard the "own family", his heart moved, he took a sip of tea, and put the tea bowl on the table, "Okay, Lan'er, what you said is very true!" According to your words, you must annihilate the enemy and the south of the Yellow River, and you must not let go of a single soldier who has crossed the Yellow River! ”

"In addition, we must guard against rebellion and march west!" Xingzhen suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly spoke, "The traitor defeated Jiangling, he must know the necessity of Anqing, and Jiangxi is also extremely important, and the concubine thinks that since the traitor will go on the Northern Expedition, he will inevitably think about the Western Expedition!" A little eunuch came in and bowed his head in Yang Qingxi's ear and said something, Yang Qingxi looked at Xingzhen and the emperor talking, bent down and went out again. Who is guarding Anqing now? Emperor. "Don't always be in the limelight, you should let the emperor show his face.

"It's Wang Jinxiu who is guarding it, and it must be safe and worry-free." The emperor remembered the former Hubei general soldier who broke the Wuchang rebel water division with the fireboat, and the current minister of Qincha, Wang Jinxiu, the general soldier of Anhui.

"It turned out to be Wang Zongbing, then Anqing is naturally worry-free, now that the traitors have less sailors, I guess I can't go to Hubei again, the main thing is to prevent the rebels from attacking Anqing, go north to support Li Kaifang or go south to harass Jiangxi, if the concubine is Yang Xiuqing, this Anhui and Jiangxi are barriers, and they have to be held in their hands."

"Then there are a lot of group exercises in Anhui and Jiangxi, but it's time to see how good they are," Emperor Xianfeng thought thoughtfully, "Then isn't the Li Hongzhang you recommended in Anhui?" Last time, I helped your father defend Luzhou City, and he was quite talented when he fell. ”

"That's the emperor's insight into heroes, such a choreographer who dances and writes ink has become a general of Yunwen and Yunwu after the emperor's imperial pen." Xingzhen hugged the emperor, "If the traitor goes to Jiangxi, then let the emperor order Zeng Guofan last time out of Gannan to try, this soldier must always see blood, otherwise they are all sheep." Speaking of blood, Xingzhen was unmoved, "Your Majesty, don't blame Governor Lu, he built a new camp, and it must be common for him not to dare to attack, and now the rebel thief is on the Northern Expedition, presumably there will be reinforcements to follow up, and it is a great achievement to entangle the rebel thief in Jiangning, and when the time comes, what is the Northern Expedition to the West and the East, will have to come back to rescue Jiangning, this is the meaning of the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, so if this camp is broken in the future, it doesn't matter, and if it is built again, it must be inserted in the throat and eye of the rebel, so that he can't swallow it and spit it out!" ”
