Chapter 117: Chen Yucheng stopped in Huangzhou

Chen Yucheng repeatedly attacked Zongyang, so he ordered Sun Kui, the owner of the white flag of the twisted army, to lead his troops to attack Gushi, Henan, in order to contain it; Yu Chengqin led the main force, from Anhui to Hubei, Kehuo Mountain, Zhanying Mountain, and defeated Yu Jichang's army; attacked Qishui and broke the coalition army of Li Xuyi and Shu Baomabu; Redress as the Hunan army and earn Huangzhou.

Huangzhou is only more than 200 miles away from Wuchang, the war cavalry is coming in one day, above Huangzhou, there is no Hunan army and a soldier, Wuchang soldiers are less than 3,000, Hubei governor Hu Linyi is anxious, hot as fire, spitting out thick purple blood.

After a few cups of decoction and medicine, Hu Linyi's condition eased slightly, and he sighed: I am a stupid person playing chess, and I don't care about my family.

Lin Yi said goodbye, and urgently ordered Li Xuyi, Peng Yulin, and Yu Jichang to withdraw from the siege of Anqing and return to Wuchang.

Chen Yucheng arrived in Huangzhou, Wuchang was shaken, all shops were closed, and all residents fled; Mrs. Hu Linyi also went out of the city with her son.

Idler's advice: Worry about the people's hope!

Mrs. Hu said: My righteousness is a martyr, and I have no responsibility to be martyred. If you don't go, you have nothing to do with the old woman, and now your son belongs to me, go, I share!

The governor of Huguang was also shocked, and he quickly attacked the existing soldiers and guarded them strictly; Flying to urge Li Xuyi, Shu Bao Ma Bu officers and soldiers to intercept head-on; He consulted Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, to postpone his entry into Sichuan, gallop to the Qi and Huang areas, meet with the armies of Hubei, and cooperate to block the palace.

The next day, Guan Wenchi went to Hankow, negotiated with the British Legation Counsellor Pa Xiali for a long time, and signed the "Hankow Concession Terms".

According to the Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin, Hankou was a treaty port, and the British government had the right to establish a concession here; Mr. Governor is worried, why?

Official Wendao: The established covenant is of course obeyed; However, the rebel bandits came to the city, and they were about to attack Hankou in a few days, and the city was broken and destroyed, and the rubble was everywhere; The land you leased will also be destroyed by war.

Pasha Li said: How can this be reasonable, tomorrow I will go to Huangzhou to contact Chen Yucheng and others, Chen Ruochen, my British Empire will do its best to stop it!

On March 22, 1861, Pasha Li and the British naval commander He Bo arrived in Huangzhou by warship and advised Chen Yucheng not to attack Wuhan, and the British warships on the bank of Parrot Island were by no means fishing boats!

Chen Yucheng said: The holy army is invincible. However, the land leased by your country will be preserved by the President.

After Pasha said goodbye, Yong Tian'an Ma Rong said: The Yiren ship is strong and the war ship of the Hunan demon is all Yiyi; Hunan Demon Water Master, I can't stop it yet.

Chen Yucheng said: The kings of heaven, east, wing, gan, and loyalty are not united with Yihuo; The President has no intention of committing such a crime.

Jingdong's main general Liu Yinglin said: Gong Deshu, the owner of the Twist Army, was killed in battle, and the Twist Department has retreated to Dingyuan in Shucheng and Lujiang; The loyal king Li Xiucheng is still in Ruizhou, four hundred miles away; Whether Wuchang attacks or not, please also ask Yingdian to make a quick decision.

Chen Yucheng said: The twist retreat is excusable; The loyalty is not in Hubei, and it is not extravagant; I will fly to the king of heaven, send generals to transfer troops, and gallop to help Anqing. The order of the president of the speed pass, Jie Tianyi Lai Wenguang, stayed in Huangzhou; The rest of the armies attacked northern Hubei with the president to raise food and funds; As soon as the Tianjing army arrived, they quickly returned to help.

On March 26, Chen Yucheng's troops divided into six routes, all of them went north, and in half a month, they captured seven counties in the two prefectures of northern Hubei Province.

Chen Yucheng entered northern Hubei Province, Hu Linyi's worries eased slightly, and he said: Qizhou, Huang'an, De'an, Xiaogan, Huangpi, Suizhou, Yunmeng, Yingcheng, and Macheng are lost, but these nine cities are not worth Wuchang! Chen's kennel is close and far away, and the death period is near! Quickly pass my order, Li Xuyi's army, the soldiers are divided into two routes, Li Xuyi led a department, galloped to Wuchang, and guarded the fundamental; Jin Guochen and Cheng Daji led 7,000 braves, together with Peng Yulin's sailors and Shu Bao's horse team, galloped to northern Hubei and encircled and suppressed Chen Gou. Duolong Abe, do not act rashly for the time being, and firmly strangle the north of Anqing. Zeng Guoquan, Yang Zaifu, Zeng Guobao, and Wei Junbu immediately joined forces, besieged Anqing, and transferred dogs back to help.

Hu Linyi finished the order, and urgently consulted Zeng Guofan: Di Shuai is like a meeting, Lin Yi is a stupid man who plays chess, and he doesn't care about his family. Chen Bandit Yucheng led 100,000 troops, Kehuo Mountain, Zhanying Mountain, attacked Qishui, and took Huangzhou; In a few days, I re-entered northern Hubei and attacked my two prefectures and seven counties. Lin Yi thought that Chen Gou would commit Wuchang! Lin Yiji took advantage of Chen Gou's entry into Hubei to attack Anqing on a large scale. The city is broken, and Chen Gou is a tree without roots and water without a source; If the city is not broken, Chen Gou will definitely rescue him desperately. We can gather the main force and kill the dog against the city of Anqing. As soon as Chen Gou died, Hong Rebellion was also over. If you want to achieve this great achievement, you should quickly give up Jiangnan, coordinate all departments, and attack Anqing.

In addition, Lin Yi meditated hard and couldn't sleep all night, secretly thinking that although Anqing was the throat of Jiangbiao and the root of Pingwu, this place had not been restored, and the water and land were obstructed, so he could not reach Jiangning. However, the thieves got close to the profiteers' ships and ships, and the grain and rice gradually increased. Lin Yi thought that if Di Shuai was difficult to give up Jiangnan, and Anqing had more rice, the besieging army would be withdrawn.
