Shi Dakai besieged Baoqing, Yang Fuqing soldiers strangled Jingde, Emperor Xianfeng was upset, and said Shengbao: Recently, Shengchen has been able to soothe and wash the Cantonese bandits, can there be a good strategy?

Shengbao received the order and said: In recent years, there are more thieves in Anhui, and it is almost impossible to prevent and suppress. The ministers and others tried to draw officers and soldiers, and they took care of each other's urgency and urgency, taking into account all directions, and the military prestige was gradually revived. However, the back road bandits must be slightly loosened before they can concentrate on the Cantonese thieves; It is also necessary to have a little more money, so that it can be blocked and suppressed.

The general trend of the southeast, the Chu realm has been cleared. And the thief is located in Jiangwan, with Jinling as the nest, with Luzhou and Anqing as the horns, with Pukou and Liuhe as the throat, the thief is divided with me, and the thief is and I am right. The method of controlling thieves is urgently necessary to judge the situation and grasp the essentials, and work together at the same time. Chen Yu became the full minions of Hong Xiu, fierce and cunning, and the most among thieves. Last year, the Jiangbei camp was defeated, the Lujun County was recaptured, and the loss of the Great Wall of the Three Rivers, which broke my good generals and overthrew my strong army, all of which were headed by the bandits. Chen Yucheng led the left and right armies among the thieves, and the thieves from Anqing, Qian, Tai, Jin, He, Luzhou and other places were all dispatched. Hundreds of miles away, galloping a piece of paper and a pseudo-bar, the reverse journey is flying to the stars. Therefore, the army is easy to win and difficult to defeat. Submission, the current situation, but gather the strength of the whole army, surround and punish it. The Chen thief died, and the Yue thief went for most of it!

In addition, according to Li Zhaoshou's secret gift, the person who is guarding Jiangpu and Pukou in Guangdong is Xue Zhiyuan. In the past, Xue Zhiyuan and Li Zhaoshou were the most rebellious, and now they are known to be obedient and conferred. And because the army assigned by the minister to attack the whole pepper was stacked and frustrated the fierce front, the army was very powerful. Xue Zhiyuan then turned his mind to surrender, and repeatedly secretly sent his cronies to sneak to Chuying with a book to beg for surrender, and was willing to sacrifice Jiangpu City as an internal response, hoping to atone for his sins. The ministers ordered the adjutant general Acton to join Li Zhaoshou and lead the troops to the camera.

Xue Zhiyuan, the guard general of Liangpu, is Li Zhaoshou's hair. After Li Zhaoshou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he turned Xue Zhiyuan back every day. Xue Zhiyuan couldn't bear the noise and closed the door. Zhao Shou then made a big fuss; The north and south of the river are well known to everyone for a while. Xue Zhiyuan was afraid that Li Xiucheng would throw himself over the wall, so he had no choice but to obey.

Li Zhaoshou was slippery and impermanent, and Xue Zhiyuan did not dare to make a mistake, so he told Zhang Guoliang and Dexinga about his anti-water will.

Hechun was in a hurry: Xue Zhiyuan, the head of Jiangpu County, was guarded, and there were about 20,000 men and women in the city, half of whom were coerced by villagers. Xue Zhiyuan has not been a thief for a long time, and every time he thinks about it, he is suffering from having no way out. After Lai Zhenhai's guidance from the situation, he was allowed to avoid sin and try to make merit. The twister was grateful and willing to sacrifice the city for redemption. After a few days, he ordered his henchmen Luo Huaqing and Wensheng Gan Mingru of Huoqiu County to sneak to the boat, meet Zhang Guoliang, prepare to repent and surrender to sincerity, burst into tears, and made an appointment to send their families to Jiangnan after the dedication of the city. On the 26th day of the first month, Xue Zhiyuan, the head of the twist, first shaved his hair, and took more than a dozen people to the Shazhou in Jiangbei to wait for Zhang Guoliang to surrender in person. After Xue Zhiyuan returned to the city, he made a date with Li Zhaoshou, a general of Chuzhou, to take two bandit camps in the whole Lingling and destroy them.

Dexing A Yishu: Xue Zhiyuan, whose person is twisted his head, threw himself into the Cantonese bandits, and he is also known as cunning. Last year, Ladi sent people to the camp to face the situation, but the slaves did not dare to believe it, so they did not take the liberty to play. Yesterday, Xue Zhiyuan sent another staff to tell him that he was really willing to return smoothly, first sacrifice Jiangpu County, and then attack Liuhe with our army. The slave then ordered Zhang Ximeng, the magistrate of Liuhe County, to build two pontoon bridges in Kuabu, and ordered the guerrilla Zhan Qilun to lead more than 2,000 soldiers, and together with the Changshou horse team, he crossed the river from Guabu on the 28th and went to Pukou to discuss with Xue Zhiyuan.

Zhan Qilun got the order and led his troops to Jiangpu, seeing that Xue Zhiyuan and Li Zhaoshou were talking about wine, Zhan Qilun said: Xue Gong shot many arrows, led but did not send, and waited for the price to sell?

Xue Li Tong said: We are all sincere and rebellious, Brother Zhan is the first, eat a glass of wine?

Zhan Qilun should not, and returned angrily. The next day, Dexing arrived in Jiangpu, and Xue Zhiyuan had joined hands with Li Zhaoshou to capture Pukou; Zhang Guoliang also led his troops to cross to the north, planning to build fortifications and open trenches from the mouth of Jiangpu to Jiuhuanzhou, imitating the Jinling law, and controlling it from the north along the river.

Dexing retreated to the north of Jiangpu and watched abruptly.

Hechun replay: Although Jiangpu and Pukou were recovered, the first army of Dexing and A moved to the place of Monkey Pu, but they failed to be effective, and their recent actions became more and more perverse, so that the army had no fighting spirit and was full of resentment. If the matter of Jiangpu and Pukou is used again, it is ordered to defend the palace, and if the rebels and bandits are trying their best to move eastward, they will use the word of being outnumbered and repeat the mistakes of the previous year. The stolen grain in Jinling City can be supported for half a year, but it can be cleared on the north bank, and there are dangers along the river.

Shengbao also played: Dexinga was defeated in the front and postponed in the back; Li Zhaoshou had more than 30,000 soldiers, occupying Pu and attacking Chu, and his heart was vigorous; It is absolutely impossible for Dexing to be restrained.

Emperor Xianfeng's edict: Hechun supervised the military affairs of Jiangbei, the minister of Jiangbei's assistant, and Hechun was appointed on the basis of merit; Dexing returned to Beijing after resignation and handed over to the Ministry of Deliberation; Li Zhaoshou and Xue Zhiyuan stayed in Liangpu to control Jiangbei.

The two pools were lost, Li Xiucheng was shocked, and consulted Chen Yucheng and Li Shixian: the three phases work together, and force the east to annihilate the rebellion.

Chen Yucheng was disdainful, and said that Liu Linglin said: Xiucheng Xiushi's body, Bodhisattva's heart, and An can lead the troops? Last year, I wanted to kill Li Zhaoshou, but I didn't let it; People get stolen goods, but they also hinder; Tell Xue Nai Li's cronies again, don't give it to Liangpu, listen to it, and reply to Tianyu. Sick! I won't help!

Liu Linglin said: Hu Demon Lin Yi is new, and the demon of Chu and E is even more difficult to deal with.

Chen Yucheng said: The fierce man of the demon, two Li and one Bao! The Duxing and Duolong cavalry were barely able to fight.

Liu Linglin said: One of the two Li has gone, Li Mengqun, I heard that his subordinates have been repeatedly short of salary, and many soldiers do not listen to the tune. If it weren't for Li Mengqun's bravery, the solid start would have been done early!

Chen Yucheng said: Li Mengqun demons, fighting in vain for many years, Lu'an City has high walls, and does not go to garrison; On the contrary, he went to Guanting Town, and this Li died until the end of the period.

Liu Linglin said: When attacking Li, Hu Linyi led the whole army to rescue, what should I do?

Chen Yucheng said: I fought in Sanhe Town, killed Li Xubin, Meng Qun came to save me?

Liu Linglin said: I haven't seen it.

Chen Yucheng said: Guanting to Sanhe, a hundred miles of land, Li Shang did not come; Susong to Lu'an, 500 miles away, Hu Demon comes? Even if it comes, it is not urgent. Shengbao and Weng Tongshu, busy people, it is still difficult to protect themselves, even if they come to help, they are also watching from the wall. Chuan Wu will order, the army will enter Lu'an, punish Li Demon Meng Qun, and return to the east.

On March 8, 1859, Chen Yucheng went out of Qianshan and Huoshan to conquer Lu'an, and immediately attacked Guanting in the east; Wu Ruxiao also went out of Luzhou and attacked from the east. The two divisions were heavily surrounded, from Chen to noon, first broke the two battalions of the deputy general Deng Qing and Li Mengquan of Zhixian County, and then attacked the left and right battalions together. Lu Youxiong, the deputy general of the Qing army, and Yuan Huaizhong, the prefect, went to war, held each other until the moment, and the aid was exhausted, the two battalions were lost, and the middle battalion could not continue. Li Mengqun was captured, and Chen Yucheng invited Meng Qun to eat together.

Meng Qun shouted: Kill my father and kill my brother, and we can be together! In other words, throw a bowl and hit it.

Chen Yuchengdao: In the past, you were Guiping County, and I listened to Er's words. Good words can not be persuaded, and you will be sent on your way today.

Yucheng killed Meng Qun and ordered the generals: rectify the soldiers and horses, and march east at any time.

Li Shixian competed in southern Anhui, fought fiercely, suddenly received Li Xiucheng's rescue documents, said that Xue Zhiyuan surrendered to the enemy, the two pools were lost, Tianjing Beiyuan, and the door was wide open; The king of heaven asks for sin, and the brother's heart is bitter and his body is sore; The younger brother temporarily gave up Wuhu and galloped to help.

Liangpu is the gateway to Tianjing, the channel for food, Li Shixian did not dare to slack off, and immediately consulted Wei Jun, the troops went out of Chizhou, and assisted in the defense of Wuhu; Li Shixian led the main force and crossed the river.

Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian brothers worked together, joined forces with 70,000 troops, and drove eastward.

Li Shixian said: I have my own mountain, and county, straight to Jiangpu, this road is the closest.

Li Xiucheng said: Yucheng is not coming, my strength is slightly weaker, I take this way, Shengbao and Weng Tongshu poured their troops down, and the spring army crossed the river, and we suffered the enemy on our backs. The army marched on the north road, looking at the distance, and the victory and Weng would not dare to move; Then Quanjiao attacked Wuyi and Xiahe, called Liuhe's army, and attacked Pukou, and completely annihilated Li Zhaoshou's rebels. Li is extinguished, and Xue will be defeated.

Second, Li Dongjin, Shengbao consulted Weng Tongshu: Now the overall situation of Anhui Province, the thieves are firmly located in Lu County, the south is connected to Chao, Quan, He, and Han, and directly reaches Jiangpu and Pukou. At present, it is important to block the road against Lu. I immediately led the army and galloped to the Chihe River to support Futai.

Day after day, Li Zhaoshou was kept secret: a town in Wuyi in the southeast, the key to the Chupu junction of this department, must be divided and stationed, in order to unite the momentum of the Anhui battalion.

On March 13, 1859, Li Xiucheng conquered Wuyi, and on the 15th, he met with the Liuhe soldiers, re-Kepukou, expelled Li Zhaoshou from the city, and surrounded him; The Taiping Army of Jiuhuanzhou also divided 8,000 troops and crossed the river to help in the battle.

and Chun ordered Zhang Guoliang to rush to the aid of Liangpu; He also ordered Zhang Yuliang, Fu Ming'a, and Zhan Qilun to lead 6,000 troops to besiege Liuhe.

Sheng Baoyuan was far away in Chihe, regretful, and hurriedly sent 8,000 soldiers to gallop to Wuyi. Li Xiucheng resisted the enemy on three sides, his strength was overwhelmed, and he was exhausted after half a month, and urgently begged Chen Yucheng for help.

Chen Yucheng gathered the whole army and besieged the city.

Victory was defeated in battle, and then defeated again and again, and the moat was also captured. Shengbao himself was difficult to protect, so he ordered the soldiers of Wuyi and Xuanhe to return to help quickly, and before long, he ordered Li Zhaoshou to withdraw his troops to help.

Chen Yucheng surrounded Wei to save Zhao, and Li Xiucheng's pressure suddenly decreased. On April 8, Chen Yucheng suddenly gave up his victory, supervised the main force, and rushed to the aid of Pukou.

Chen Yucheng and Zhang Guoliang were stunned, and urgently ordered Zhou Tianpei to rebuild three camps and make horns in a slightly more concise place away from Jiangpu. Seeing this, Li Xiucheng immediately set up three camps in the three beams of the North Road, and looked back and forth to contain them.
