In the past six months, Anqing has repeatedly been in an emergency, Chen Yucheng has dredged Hong Xiuquan again, although southern Jiangsu has it, but if Anqing is broken, there will be endless troubles, and it will be rescued immediately.

Hong Xiuquandao: Encircling Wei to save Zhao, the established policy, the British compatriots are in the north of the Yangtze River, and the loyal compatriots are in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Yucheng said: Anqing has been trapped for a long time, and the troops have entered Wuchang, the road is far away, and it is not urgent. Weichen and Zhongwang Xiucheng joined forces together, crossed the river and swept the north, and first relieved the siege of Anqing. Auxiliary King Yang Fuqing and Huang Wenjin Department, along the south bank of the Yangtze River, directly took northern Jiangxi. The servant king Li Shixian's department was directly taken from Huizhou to Gandong. Liu Guanfang, Lai Wenhong, and Gu Longxian, the three jointly attacked the demon camp of the Zeng State Domain in Qimen. The five-way army was divided into joint attacks, that is, to relieve the siege of Anqing, and to punish Zeng Demon in Qimen.

Hong Xiuquandao: Accurate!

Chen Yucheng said: There is no time to delay, Weichen will lead the headquarters and cross the river first; Loyal kings, auxiliary kings, serving kings, etc., please ask His Royal Highness the Ganwang to supervise again.

At the beginning of October 1860, Governor Chen Yucheng led 20,000 horses to cross the river to the north, encircled the furnace bridge, and attacked Shouzhou.

The generals Liu Xuanlin, Ma Ronghe, Chen Wencai, etc., were all confused by the British king's reluctance to seek the near and far.

Chen Yuchengdao: Last month, Fengtai practiced Miao Peilin, and repeatedly showed goodwill. The president of Shouzhou, its 100,000 people, if echoed, the north and south of the Huai River, a horse Pingchuan.

Liu Xuanlin said: The Twist Army Alliance advocates happy deeds, Miao Peilin supports the self-respect, the first rat at both ends, and should not be gullible.

Chen Yucheng said: The president listens to his words and watches his deeds. Even if there are no seedlings, our Kede Shouzhou, Lu'an, and Tongcheng, Luzhou, and Shucheng are connected together, and their momentum is even greater. When the loyal king's army arrived, he immediately attacked from both sides, completely annihilated the Hu Demon army, and relieved the siege of Anqing. Where are the three departments of the loyal king, the auxiliary king, and the servant king?

Liu Linglin said: Detective, Zhong Wang is still in Suzhou, and Yang Fuqing and Li Shixian have moved to southern Anhui.

Chen Yucheng sighed: How slow is the loyal department!

Auxiliary king Yang Fuqing got the order, accompanied by the king Li Shixian, to attack the capital of Nanning, Anhui, besieged the city for 40 days, and killed Zhou Tianshou, the governor of Hunan, and the Taiping army was greatly inspired. Subsequently, Li Yang divided his troops, Li Shixian drove his troops south, on October 8, besieged Huizhou, and broke the city the next day; On the 12th, Xiuning was broken again.

Huizhou is broken, and Qimen is already in the urn. Zeng Guofan hurriedly said to the staff: In the first battle of Huizhou, Li Yuandu's whereabouts are unknown, I can't sleep at night, I mourn this person, I use it against his talents! Quickly pass on my order, Zhang Yunlan's department, first attack Yixian, consolidate the grain road; Bao Chao aided the army of Ningguo, must return, join forces with Zhang Bu, and besiege Xiuning.

After the words of the national domain, the upper performance said: Li Yuandu of Huining Taiguang Road came from Hunan with a newly recruited pawn. However, the city of Huicheng is vast, and there are only 2,000 Xiangyong, which is not enough to distribute. Li Yuan lay at the head of the city, tried his best to resist, but he could not resist the 40,000 thieves.

That night, Li Yuandu sent a letter, Zeng Guofan knew that he was not dead, and sighed: Li Yuandu abandoned the city and left, the big festival has been lost, and it will be difficult to stand on his own feet after that!

Soon, Li Yuandu went to Qimen, and the national domain greeted him.

Li Yuandu said: Qi Yu Di Shuai, there are 600 original defense troops in Huizhou, and if they don't fight, our army can't support it, and it will collapse. I had no face to see Di Shuai, and fled to Zhejiang, hesitating on my own.

Zeng Guofan angrily reprimanded: The defense of Huizhou is arduous; You volunteered, I kept it or there was no defect, so I agreed with you in five chapters, and you did not follow one chapter; In Rong for six years, and the heart is not reasonable! At the moment, we should be humble and calm, and specialize in camping and buying rice, and we must not be impatient.

Li Yuandu was reprimanded and discouraged, and said that Li Hongzhang said: The loss of Huizhou is all my fault!

The next day, Yuan Du demanded a sum of arrears from the grain station and left suddenly.

Zeng Guofan was furious and asked Li Hongzhang to draft a draft for impeachment.

Li Hongzhang said: Li Ciqing couldn't fight, he took his life by luck, remembered his diligence in the past, purged the commander and calmed his anger.

Zhao Liewen also said: Di Shuai is angry, Li Ciqing may have no other intentions, just dare to do things!

Zeng Guofan said: Li Yuandu is stubborn, and I will ask him to be dismissed from his post and questioned to set an example. Reward for meritorious service, reward and punishment are unknown, and everything cannot be accomplished; If the rewards and punishments are clear, the four can do it.

Li Hongzhang said: If the public insists, Hongzhang will not accept the manuscript!

Zeng Guofan said: Don't bother your hands, I will draft my own draft.

Li Hongzhang said: If the public walks alone, I will go by myself.

Zeng Guofan said: Let it be.

Li Hongzhang packed his bags and left.

Zeng Guofan also did not stop him, saying that Zhao Liewen said: When the catastrophe comes, they fly separately, and they will commit less old diseases. can judge the time and also be able to deal with the situation, and can also take advantage of the trend, Shaoquan is a first-class person. It also hurts people's hearts.

Zhao Liewen said: Although Li Shaoquan is a donkey who borrows the slope, the land of Qimen is indeed a Jedi, and it is indeed advisable to move to avoid it, without further ado, the sooner the better.

Zeng Guofan said: I have been fighting for many years, who can not know; Qimen is the emperor's election, acting as the governor's head; The former king of Qin did not arrive, and now he has withdrawn without authorization, which is always unreasonable. Zuo Zongtang recruited brave soldiers, where is he now?

Zhao Liewen said: Qi Yu is handsome, Zuo Zongtang is now in Jiangxi, and it will arrive at the end of the month.

Zeng Guofan said: This is very good, Bao Chao, Zhang Yunlan's two departments, plus Zuo Zongtang's army, can reach Li Xiucheng's rebels.

Li Xiucheng was stationed in Suzhou, physically and mentally full, and did not want to cross north, so he played Hong Xiuquan: Du'an County, Jiangxi, Suizhou, Yining, Wuning, Daye, Xingguo, Qishui, Qizhou, Wuchang, Jiayu, Tongcheng, etc., there were more than 40 people with gifts to send to Suzhou, and Gong Cheng surrendered to the army. Weichen did not cross north for the time being, that is, he marched west along the west after a month, recruited hundreds of thousands of such people, and then swept north in accordance with the edict.

Hong Xiuquan was furious when he heard this, and ordered Xiucheng to sweep the north immediately.

Li Xiucheng is confident, and he also has the city government, and he refuses to obey the edict. Tell Li Shixian: There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, Hangzhou is full of flowers, and it is safe to attack?

Li Shixian received the consultation, left a small army to guard Huizhou, Xiuning, led the main force, attacked Zhejiang, on October 20, 1860, Li Shixian captured Yanzhou Mansion.

Erli turned, and Yang Fuqing followed, stopping in Ningguo to recuperate.

When Chen Yucheng learned about it, he sighed: This president is not afraid of war, but there are many dragons and tigers, and it is really difficult to bite! If you don't concentrate all your strength, you can't break this demon. Li Xiucheng is blind, if Anqing is lost, Tianjing is not guaranteed; If Tianjing is lost, the kingdom of heaven is finished! Yang Fuqing and Li Shixian are also short-sighted, if the two attack Qimen together, Zeng Guofan will not be able to stop them; Zeng Guoquan's army must cross south to rescue, and the siege of Anqing will be solved.

Jingdong's main general Liu Xuanlin said: Yang Demon Zaifu blocked the Jiangdao, the anti-demon Wei Jun invaded Zongyang, Zeng Demon Guoquan besieged Anqing, Duolong A Demon crossed the trailer river, Li Demon continued to be stationed in Qingcaoyuan, the demon forces were scattered, why don't I attack Taihu Lake, Hu Demon Lin Yi is the head of the demons, Taihu Lake is in an emergency, the demon will come back to help, intercept halfway, or have a chance to win.

Chen Yucheng sighed again and said: The demons besieging Anqing seem to be scattered, but in fact they are a piece of iron bucket; Northwest of Anqing, Linghu Lake, I have no water division; Yang Zaifu and Peng Yulin rampant in the rivers and lakes, and Wei Jun rebelled against the demon in Fangyang, choking the east, south and west of Qingqing; In the north of Anqing, Zeng Guoquan has two deep roads, and in the meantime, he is not in a hurry to attack, but he is actually trapped; Duolonga is stationed in the trailer river, echoing the rear of Zeng Guoquan's side; And Li Xuyi's stationing in Qingcaochang can protect the camp of Duolong'a, and retreat can bless Hu Linyi's lair. Hu Demon Lin Yi and Zeng Demon Country Domain's chess game is really to attack me and save me, and to encircle the point and send reinforcements. The two demons have been planning for a while, I made a hasty move, how can I be undefeated? Li Xiucheng is not coming, and I am the only one who fights to the death. Among the demons, only the demon of Duolong is fierce; The president ordered that the whole army move to the trailer river, and first punish Duolong and a demon.

Liu Xuanlin said: His Royal Highness, don't be rash, our army is alone, or it can be successful, but it has been a demon to the north, or it has failed. Playing the king of heaven and the king again, we must urge the loyalty, auxiliaries, servants, etc., even if they do not go north, they will also enter Qimen and involve Zeng Demon.

Chen Yucheng said: Time is not waiting, the army will enter the Duolong demon camp in Shucheng and Lujiang, and build a fortified company camp at the trailer river, Xiangpu Street, Wanghedun, Tangli Mountain, and Zunshi Nunnery, waiting for the opportunity to attack. The song invited the heavens and the dry to urge the kings to attack the Zeng Demon Kingdom in southern Anhui, and they were also sent out quickly.
