The stele was lost suddenly, Taihu Lake and Huoshan were reinstated, Chen Yucheng was anxious, and he pretended to cross the east and west Liangshan to attack the south, and sent the army to cross Wuhu to the south, attack from the west and east, and feint to attack Tianjing Changwei.

He Chun was anxious to deal with Zhang Guoliang Nandu, and Xiong Tianxi and Zhang Yuliang led the newly recruited troops to bravely return to Changwei.

Shengnan succeeded, Chen Yucheng personally led the main force to attack Li Ruozhu's department in the north, wanting to relieve the siege of Liuhe, but the long-term attack was fruitless, and Yucheng recovered and sounded east.

On October 8, 1859, the defenders of Xuyi and Tianchang received Chen Yucheng's military order, poured out of the city wall, and entered Ganquan Mountain in the south, 20 miles away from Yangzhou. On the 11th, Liu Linglin led tens of thousands of horses to move from Situ Temple to tile kiln shop, from northwest to southeast to Bowantou and Wutai Mountain camps, approaching the northwest gates of Yangzhou. Chen Yucheng led a group to the Sanchai River to curb the southeast of Yangzhou.

Yangzhou was in an emergency, and the spring urgency ordered the guerrilla Hukun Yang Department to cross the river to help, and ordered the named general and deputy general Zhang Weibang to lead 5,000 soldiers to return to Yang County at night. Li Ruozhu, deputy minister of Jiangbei, also divided 2,000 troops to aid Yangzhou.

Shengdong Fu succeeded again, Chen Yucheng again attacked the Taiping Army of Ganquan Mountain, detoured from the small road to Yizheng Chen Banqiao, and looked at Li Ruozhu's Liuhe camp. Yu Chengqin led the main force to conquer the Hongshan kiln in one fell swoop and cut off the back road of the Li army. Gather the whole army again and encircle Li Ruozhu's department.

The siege of Yucheng was in full swing, and news came from Tianjing, saying that Wei Junchizhou had rebelled, and Li Xiucheng had been crowned King Zhong.

Chen Yucheng said: The prediction of the king of heaven, half of it was fulfilled. slapped a jujube, Li Xiucheng was calm. Xiucheng, Shixian, and Fuqing can resist Wei Jun's rebels, and we only need to concentrate on besieging Li You.

Li Ruozhu's voice was interrupted, and Hechun was shocked, and urgently ordered Zhang Weibang to reinforce Liuhe; He also ordered the guerrilla Zeng Bingzhong to lead the sailors to the Baimiao River and attack the waterway; Then ordered Feng Zicai to lead a thousand troops to Liuhe, and the president sent reinforcements from all directions.

Chen Yucheng surrounded the point to send reinforcements, ordered all the departments to rush down from the Hongshan kiln, and ordered Liu Linglin to lead the main force and copy Feng Zicai's back road. Feng Zicai was defeated, retreated to the riverside, and relied on the sailor to protect himself.

Li Ruozhu repeatedly forcibly broke through, all unsuccessful, half a month later, food, goods and medicine have been exhausted, killing horses and eating, three days of horses are gone, soldiers are hungry, grabbing rancid water to eat, soldiers Yong actually starved to death. Ruozhu knew that he would die, so he prepared to leave it behind and waited for death silently. The guerrilla Zhan Qilun was unwilling to restrain his hands, and told Ruozhu that he might be able to get rid of it under the banner of rebels. Ruozhu Nazhan Yi, with dozens of personal soldiers, mixed out of the encirclement.

When Hu Linyi heard this, he said that Zeng Guofan: Chen thief surrounded Li Ruozhu, and he couldn't break through after several battles. The thief suddenly sent a troop of soldiers and horses around the edge of Yangzhou City, Yangzhou was in an emergency, and Li Ruozhu divided his troops to go. And the thieves rushed to attack Li Ruozhu's fortress, so they were surrounded.

Zeng Guofan said: Chen thief drilled when he saw the cracks, bravely drifted, and fought with this thief, but the only way to fight was to die in the village! Yesterday, he received a report from Yang Zaifu, saying that Wei Jun of Chizhou, with no less than tens of thousands, has surrendered to Cheng since September 27 this year, submitted hundreds of false seals, and assigned his headquarters to capture Wuhu and make meritorious service to redeem himself. The matter is serious, Yang Zaifu is afraid that he will be deceitful, so he does not dare to start the performance, so he agrees to use gunboats to assist, and after he succeeds, he will only invite him to play.

Hu Linyi said: Four years ago, I shot a book into Wuchang and persuaded him to surrender. In the end, he had no regrets and was willing to refuse. Four years later, he was desperate and had no way out. Wei Jun is a hard-hearted person, and this move must be well thought out, and there is no deception.

Zeng Guofan said: I have ordered Yang Zaifu to send the general soldier Li Chengmou and the thousand general Li Chucai to Chizhou to meet him.

Hu Linyi said: In this way, Chizhou and Wuhu all belong to me. This matter is not trivial, and Peng Yulin's department should also go to help. Li Xuyi, Xiao Qijiang, and Zhang Yunlan have not arrived for a long time, and the war in northern Anhui can only be postponed again and again.

Zeng Guofan said: Southern Anhui is pacified, just around the corner, please Runzhi immediately order Peng to go. My emperor has repeatedly told us to attack Anhui and enter the Soviet Union, I have drawn up a sparse text, please ask Runzhi to observe and correct, and then give the official stationery name to play.

Hu Linyi said: How dare you dare, Brother Di's writing, every sentence is insightful, if you increase one word, you will be fat, and if you lose one article, you will be thin.

On November 12, 1859, Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi, and Guanwen jointly played the title: Hong Xiuquan according to Jinling, Chen Yucheng according to Anqing, private Zhengshuo, falsely claiming to be a prince, and a thief who stole the number. Shi Dakai and others from Zhejiang to Fujian, and Jiang, and Hunan, and Guangxi, the elephant of thieves. Gong and Zhang Zhuzhu have a large number of shares, and they are indefinite, and they are also thieves. Since the civil strife in Hongyang, Zhenjiang overcome, Jinling rebelled against the fierce flame for a long time, and Chen Yucheng traveled back and forth to Jiangbei, colluding with bandits, Luzhou, Pukou, Sanhe and other places, stacking our division, so that the erosion of northern Anhui is widespread, and the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River are endless. If you want to clear all roads, you must first break through Jinling. Jinling was broken, the overall situation was shaken, and then the soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion could be divided into several provinces, and their salaries could be divided into several places. If you want to break Jinling, you must first station heavy troops in Chuhe, and then you can go to Jiangning Waiping to cut off the grain road of Wuhu. If you want to garrison Chuhe, you must first besiege Anqing to break the nest of Chen Rebellious; and Luzhou, in order to attack Chen Rebellion will be saved. Cheng Neng besieged two places and took the side counties. The counter-preparation is multi-forced, and he does not dare to go north to Qiyu, and he does not dare to look east to Jiangpu and Liuhe. The thief who stole the trumpet did not exhaust his strength to protect his roots.

After the national domain and Lin Yi were sparse, it was reported that Li Xuyi's troops had arrived in Yuezhou, and Hu Linyi said: Within ten days, Li Xi'an's army will definitely arrive. I immediately ordered Yu Jichang, led an army of 5,000, attacked Qianshan Paradise Town, here, stretching for 200 miles, ten thousand mountains are thin, the outer danger is in the middle, follow the southeast out of the water roaring mountain is the hidden mountain, follow the east out of Longjing Pass is Tongcheng, follow the east slightly north out of Xiaotian then Shucheng, and the north is Huoshan, and the north of Anhui is also an Olympic area. The thief does not know that it is a natural danger, and there are few defenses; The Wutun army is solid, and it can be a place for the army to be transferred.

Zeng Guofan said: Xiao Qijiang and Zhang Yunlan have not arrived, and our troops are insufficient, so we will fight again later.

Hu Linyi said: Shengbao is worried at home, Yuan Jiasan can be set in Jianghuai, and my north is safe for the time being. Chen Yucheng fought for a year, and the soldiers were tired. I occupy the town of heaven, occupy the terrain, wait for the thief to work, and wait for the thief.

Zeng Guofan said: After the battle of Runzhi, I will go to Huangmei and arrange offensive and defensive matters.

Hu Linyi said: Chen Wei led the army, erratic, Brother Di can make Yuan Fu cross to the north, one is to protect Brother Di nearby, and the other is to temper Yuan Fu's mind. Although there are few Yuan Fu, he is calm in battle, and his offense and defense are good, which can be of great use.

Zeng Guofan said: Runzhi doesn't know, Yuanfu is busy, every time he goes to the city, he will take leave and return to his hometown, buy a field and build a house. I don't know where it is, under the command of me and Runzhi, others lead the army, even if Lao Jiu is nine, he is also out of his ranks.

Hu Linyi smiled and said: Yuan Fu's actions are really human nature; Returning to the hometown, glorifying the ancestors, and also the long-cherished wish of the people. However, you and I are both hard-working people, and we can't do things that please us.

Zeng Guo Fan Dao: Those who seek great things are the first pattern. Lao Jiu built a house in the field, and the small wealth is safe, which is incompatible with us. Looking at Runzhi, if Chen attacks Taihu Lake, what should he do?

Hu Linyi Road: Taihu City East Xiaochi Station, across the east and west, east through Qianshan, Tongcheng to Luzhou, west through Susong and Hubei Province, has always been a must for the soldiers. If the thief arrives, Tang Xunfang will continue to besiege the city, Bao Chao will enter the Xiaochiyi, Duolong'a and Jiang Ning will fight for ten days, and Brother Di and Li Xuyi will chase them away, and they can win the game. Zhen Gan is an army and sends his brother to protect himself, how about it?

Zeng Guofan said: No, no, although I and Guobao are brothers, but one by one, Guobao has become more and more distant from me.

Zeng Guofan said goodbye to Hu Linyi with a sad face. Zhao Liewen asked. Guofan Dao: Everyone is out of me, but why should it all belong to Hu Gong? The same is true for Guohua and Guobao.

Zhao Liewen said: Everyone has selfishness, can't be official, can't be wealthy, why don't you leave?

Zeng Guofan said: What should I do?

Zhao Liewen said: Profit cannot be alone, and profit alone will be defeated; It is difficult to see the public, and the opinions are different. Those who gather the private interests of all people can become the public of one person. Raise your arms and exhale, and the responders gather, which is the potential; Wealth gathers and people scatter, and wealth scatters people gather, for profit. Everyone in the world is a snob, and I am mixed in.

Zeng Guofan said: It is clear that listening to the words of the king is better than reading a book for ten years.

Yu Jichang received orders from Hu Linyi and captured the town of Heaven on November 20, 1859.

On the 21st, Li Xuyi led 9,000 Xiangyong to Huangzhou; The national domain and Lin Yi were all happy. The next day, the national domain got up and rushed to Huangmei. Hu Linyi and Li Xuyi went east to Qizhou and entered Chen Deyuan; Immediately the order was issued: all departments should not take the dangerous city lightly, and only increase the casualties; Jun Hao built a fortress, and the first thing to do was to help the thief.

Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi joined forces to attack Anhui, but Chen Yucheng did not dare to slack off, that is, he gathered the whole army and attacked Yangzhou again; He also ordered the deputy general manager to lead a strong army to cross the river to attack Jinzhu Pass and Moling Pass, and plagiarized the Jiangnan camp; Then ordered Li Shixian to attack Huangchi and disturb the Jiangnan camp.

He Chun complained bitterly, and ordered Li Ruozhu and Ma Dezhao to strictly guard Yangzhou and not to go out lightly; Feng Zicai galloped to Guazhou; Liu Jisan guarded the long wall of Jinling South Road and Moling Pass; Zheng Kuishi stuck to Gaochun and Dongba.

Ma Dezhao, the commander of Guyuan, did not defend himself, personally led an army, went out of the city to attack, and destroyed more than ten camps of the Taiping army in a war.

Liu Linglin said: Ma Dezhao is brave and brave, and Yangcheng is difficult to break. Visiting Wei Jun's generals Huang Wenjin, Gu Longxian, Liu Guanfang, Lai Wenhong, etc., drank to the gods, woke up, resolutely anyway, and is now attacking Chizhou together.

Chen Yucheng said: Wei Junzhong betrayed his relatives and left, and Chizhou would be broken sooner or later. We besiege Yangcheng, if we can break it, we will break it, and if we don't break it, we don't need to be strong. The army drove eastward and attacked Liangpu, which saved Xiucheng from fire and water, and relieved the siege of Tianjing. Ma Ronghe's department, and then hit Moling Pass to contain the main force of Hechun.

On November 15, 1859, Chen Yucheng led the main force back to Pukou and surrounded Zhou Tianpei's army.

He Chun was frightened and urgently ordered Zhang Yuliang to lead his troops to help; Day after day, Zhang Guoliang was ordered to cross the north to command the battle of Liangpu.

Chen Yucheng also dispatched troops, and Tianchang and Liuhe 20,000 soldiers and civilians marched south to join the Liangpu battlefield. On the 21st, Yucheng gathered the whole army and attacked Zhou Tianpei's camp at night.

Tianpei was not thirty years old, brave and simple, bloody battle for seven days, fifty-six camps, only five or six remaining, Tianpei saw that there was no hope of holding on, and personally led the rest of the troops, and met the attack separately. Yucheng fought and retreated, Tianpei chased farther and farther, and went straight into Yucheng's preset ambush circle, and they were all besieged and killed. Zhang Guoliang's reinforcements arrived, and the war was over; Guoliang gathered and collapsed, and retreated.

and Chunwen, and then sent Feng Zicai's department to help.

Yucheng killed Tianpei, relieved the siege of Pukou, gathered Li Xiucheng's troops, re-attacked Jiangpu, built a fortress by the mountain, and forced Zhang Guoliang's camp on three sides.

Zhang Guoliang was fearless, and together with Feng Zicai, he attacked Chen Yucheng's camp day and night. On November 30, Zhang Yuliang led his troops to arrive, and Zhang Guoliang was able to kill, personally led a department, threw grass to add to the hao, and smoked and impacted.

Chen Yucheng refused to attack, sat firmly in the Chinese army, and only ordered artillery stones and arrows to be used to his heart's content. Guoliang attacked on his back, had no place to stand, the casualties doubled, and the thousand general Bao Tingxiang also died halfway. Guoliang did not dare to attack again, so he hurriedly closed the team and stuck to the Yushan camp; He also sent Zhang Yuliang to lead his troops back to Hujiangpu County.

Zhang Guoliang collected his troops, Chen Yucheng counterattacked, but did not resist; Then he turned to attack Jiangpu, built many camps, set up forts to bombard the city day and night, and dug tunnels behind the cards, wanting to buy goods and ammunition to bomb the city.

Zhang Yuliang carried it for four days and tried his best to protect the city wall. That night, Yuliang sent troops to the city, threw spray cans, rockets, burned wooden cards, and destroyed tunnels. The Taiping army was unprepared, abandoned the camp and fled.

Chen Yucheng transferred troops to attack again, and suddenly received a report: Huoshan County and Tiantian Zhenfu were attacked by Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi, and Weng Tongshu, and Taihu, Luzhou, Anqing, Shucheng, and Tongcheng were all in an emergency.

Chen Yucheng then said that Li Xiucheng said: Anhui Province is an important place for grain resources in the Kingdom of Heaven, and there is no room for loss, and Heaven Town is a key point for all roads, and it must be recaptured. I killed Zeng and Hu Eryou, and then came to help my brother.

Li Xiucheng said: Wei Jun rebelled, southern Anhui was weak, Yang Fuqing was too busy to take care of himself, and Li Shixian was powerless to attack Hechun Demon. Jiangpu is here, and my brother can still deal with it. If my brother goes, the kingdom of heaven is in danger!

Chen Yucheng said: I will leave 10,000 horses, which is enough to cope with March; Three months later, I have settled in northern Anhui.
