Chapter 163: Zuo Zongtang's Cleansing of Heaven (1)

Wang Haiyang killed Li Shixian without permission, and Wang's generals Hu Yongxiang and Wang Dali were also puzzled.

Wang Haiyang said: It's not my benevolence, it's not my will, Li Shixian, Huang Shaochun, Tan Xing and other rebellious secret songs, this time they carried a number of letters of appointment from the demons, and they were bewitched; The day before yesterday, many demon generals were captured, and they all said that Li had subdued the demon. There are all human and material evidence, how can you not kill!

Huang Xiaozi said: You don't know, Tianjing City was broken, Li Xiucheng was captured, he was not satisfied with the minister's festival, his eyebrows were low, he flattered Zeng Demon, and he was also beheaded with 30,000 figures.

Wang Haiyang said: Brother Li, there is more than enough success and more failure. Luo Guozhong surrendered to the demons twice, Qian Guiren knelt down four times, Gao Yongkuan and others were blatant, and the gang begged to surrender, Li Xiucheng didn't know! harbor and connive, and delay the kingdom of heaven; I am not Lee, indecisive, and pretending to be kind; I encounter rebellion, every time I kill one, every two kill two!

Heavenly General Hu Yongxiang said: His Royal Highness King Kang, every time a major event is discussed in the future, a few of us can do it; The situation is critical, and there are not a few people in our army who are like traitors Tan Xing.

Wang Haiyang said: Brother Hu is reasonable, but in the future, I will discuss all major matters with Brother Huang and Brother Hu. Jiaoling is a place of four wars, not suitable for permanent residence, what does the second brother Hu and Huang mean?

Huang Xiaozi said: This place is in the middle of nowhere, and it is better to go north.

Hu Yongxiang said: The prosperous place in western Guangdong, Guangzhou is rich in the world, unintentionally?

Wang Haidao: This place is thousands of miles away from Guangzhou, the road is long, the north is the mountains, the south is the sea, the Guangdong and Fujian demon army is sandwiched from the east and west, I have no maneuver, this road is very dangerous.

Huang Xiaozi said: Shen Baozhen is not good at war, and the Jiangxi demon army is like scattered sand, so this opportunity can be taken.

Wang Haiyang said: Even if our army enters Jiangxi, we must fight the Fujian demon before we can make it; Zuo Zongtang's demon army, attacking and defending well, killing decisively, is really a fierce enemy. Tomorrow will be out, and the left demon will fight to the death, and then go west to Pingyuan, and go north to Jiangxi.

On August 27, 1865, Wang Haiyang sent 50,000 troops to attack in the north and besiege Yanqian; Gao Liansheng and Huang Shaochun each led an army, went out of the city to counterattack, and fought for a day, without a score.

The next day, the Gao and Huang soldiers counterattacked in three ways, and Hu Yongxiang led an army of 30,000 to build a base and set up camp, waiting for the battle; The fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, and the Taiping army camp suddenly caught fire; Hu Yongxiang looked back, and his soldiers had been defeated; Yongxiang was helpless, supervised the remnants, retreated back to the city, and said angrily, the people's hearts were unpredictable, and they couldn't prevent it.

Wang Haiyang said: The old department is unreliable, pass on my secret order, and all the servants rebel against the old department, and camp in their spare time, and charge before the battle. At the slightest hint of rebellion, all of them will be killed immediately.

Wang Haiyang suddenly counterattacked, Liu Dian fled in fear, Zuo Zongtang disagreed, and said: The trapped beast is still fighting, and Wang is rebellious! Quickly passed on my order, Zhang Hengxiang rate the headquarters, in front of the defense rock, Gao Liansheng returned to Zhongchi, in order to help the defense of the dam, and Huang Shaochun and others, to the north of Jiaoling; Kang Guoqi was stationed at Sanxikou in Songyuan and guarded the East Road; Liu Qingliang garrisoned Panlong Village and stifled the southeast.

Liu Diandao: Wang Debang's department is stationed in Xiangdong; Our troops are stationed in Maotian, the soldiers are not exhausted, and now the thieves are declining, why not go forward to compete?

Zuo Zongtang Road: In the southeast and east and north of Jiaoling, our army is in contact with each other, and the trend of long-encirclement and thieves has been formed, and all departments are taking precautions to suppress them. Jiaoling West Road, if I attack, it is said that the Yue Qian is a substitute, thankless, and the Cantonese army must intercept and suppress it by itself.

Liu Diandao: Qi Yu Zuo Shuai, the thief army is declining, gather strength to strike, or can be completely annihilated, this opportunity must not be lost.

Zuo Zongtang said: Ke'an should not underestimate Wang Haiyang's rebels, after Chen rebels Yucheng, the most fierce person is none other than this rebellion. In the battle of Yuhang, Wang rebelled and set up an ambush, and our army was defeated; Cheng Xueqi couldn't persuade him, but was angrily reprimanded. As far as Jiangxi, this reverse vertical and horizontal killing, attacking cities and conquering places, is omnipotent; Bao Chunting sent an envoy to make peace, and Wang rebelled to demonstrate. In the battle of shooting and hunting, Wang rebelled and punished my six battalions for being brave. This rebellious heart is as hard as iron, and the combat power of its army is no less than that of Cheng Fangzhong's Kaizi battalion.

Liu Diandao: Listen to Zuo Shuai's words, it is better to read the book of sages for ten years.

Zuo Zongtang said: Ke'an has said! If I attack it together, I can also destroy this bandit, but Ke'an and the brothers of Guome, I don't know how many can survive! Jinling has been broken, such remnants, sooner or later will be extinguished, not in a hurry for a month and a half, divided the land to build a siege, step by step; Bao Chunting, Lou Yunqing, Xi Baotian, Zhou Kuanshi, etc., all arrived, and then made a joint attack. The twist bandits spread to Yulu, the monk's mansion was killed, and the old man was afraid of being incompetent, and I have asked Guo Songlin and Yang Dingxun to go north to help suppress.
