Chapter 163: Zuo Zongtang Cleanses the Kingdom of Heaven (8)

Hu Yongxiang said: The direction of the breakthrough is set, please ask His Royal Highness Kaiwang to order the abandonment of the city.

Tan Tiyuan said: It was getting late, and all departments were preparing quickly, cooking on the third watch, and setting off on the fourth watch.

Hu Yongxiang said: Surprise, attack unprepared, soldiers are fast, set off immediately; Our troops go first and explore the way for the army.

Tan Tiyuan also knew that Meizhou was in danger, so he said: The demon army is surrounded on all sides, and we are in danger. The kings Huang Penghou led his troops to be in the center, protecting the old and the young, women and children; the rest of the divisions, in turn, followed; After I cut myself off, I fought for the demon army.

Huang Penghou got the order, quickly sent his henchmen, secretly sent Liu Dian, and personally went to Tan Tiyuan's camp, whispering: His Royal Highness King Qiqi, after entering Guangdong, our army is the strongest among the kings, and the people of King Kang are the strongest; However, Kang Wang is violent, brothers are on the wall, and we have come to this point! Hu Yongxiang's arbitrariness seems to have the spirit of Kangwang.

Tan Tiyuan said: Brother Lie, don't say anything more.

Huang Peng said kindly: If Kang Wang is here, who dares to speak! I am all old brothers in Guangxi, don't be made by the Anhui people anymore!

Tan Tiyuan said: The King of Heaven once said that in our heavenly kingdom, everyone is a brother and sister, and they have food and clothing; The world is a family, sharing peace, and the geometry is obedient and thin, and it will not once become a fair and upright world. Hu Yongxiang is both wise and brave, his heart is attached to the kingdom of heaven, and he has no heart, he does not live up to the kingdom of heaven, and I will live up to it!

Huang Penghou was powerless and retreated.

Liu Dian got the news and immediately reported to Zuo Zongtang.

Zong Tang said: Huangsha Ridge group of peaks are steeply cut, a path lingers, for Meizhou out of Xintian, Huotian, right to Fengshun, left to Chaozhou between the road. This sheep intestine is dangerous, and there is no hurry; The mountain road is narrow, and it can't accommodate the public, and the thief is against the death period! Quickly pass my order, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong armies, quickly to Huangsha Ridge, encircle, chase and intercept, and completely annihilate the thief army. Beixi and other places, there are passing through the Zhu Pass Road, a line of sheep intestines, facing the abyss, and the cliff is extremely dangerous; Fengshun officials, be sure to supervise the group training, dig the pass road, and cut off the thief's way.

Hu Yongxiang and Huang Xiaozi's former army marched to Datian, and were intercepted by Gao Liansheng and Liu Qingliang.

Hu and Huang fought to the death, grabbed the road and ran around, but the army was defeated, Hu Yongxiang hid in the mountain pass, and was captured and killed; The yellow dwarf and others arrived at Beixi, and there was no road to pass, so they turned to the Baizhi Dam.

The next day, Bao Chao led the Thunder Army and the Jiangxi Army to chase after him. The yellow dwarf and others lost all their baggage, had no food, knelt on the ground, and were all killed.

Kaiwang Tan Ti Yuan Governor led the rear, fighting the armies of Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi, unable to support it, trapped in the Yellow Sand Ridge, repeatedly rushing to kill the edge rocks, risking death to attack, and repeatedly failed.

Huang Shaochun and other overseers rushed in, guns and cannons were fired, and the king was shot several times, and jumped away from the stream.

Huang Chunhou resisted slightly, that is, he led the rest of the troops and surrendered to the ground.

The generals of the Chu army were full of anger and wanted to behead Huang Chunhou to lay the dead. Liu Dian was anxious to Zuo Zongtang.

Zong Tang said: Killing on the battlefield, life and death are fate; If you don't believe it, you don't know what it can do. I will go up to the sparse, avoid the sin of Huang Penghou, and keep it in reserve with five grades.

Liu Diandao: After punishing this rebellion, the kingdom of heaven is complete, and Zuo Shuai has finally achieved great success, congratulations. I immediately invited Guo Yunxian and others to come for a drink.

Zuo Zongtang sighed: The impeachment of Ruilin and Guo Yunxian has been issued; This wine is not drunk. Shaanxi bandits have been suppressed for a long time; Lu Yu twisted, and the crowd raged. The war is endless, we will not stop, and after the southern expedition, we will inevitably look north.

That night, Zuo Zongtang wrote a letter in a hurry and sent someone to send it to Guo Songtao.

The text said: Your Excellency is trying to cheer up, but you don't live up to your will, in vain in the past, what is the benefit of bridging the gap afterwards? I only know the life of Zeng Hou, Li Bo and Hu Wenzhong, for the sake of Ah Hao, and I want to be among Zeng and Li, if I have no glimpse of my life aspirations, but with a strong eye, how unattainable it is. There is no other thought, because of loyalty and anger, with uprightness and arrogance, knowing that I sin against me, just listening.

Guo Songtao watched Zuo Zongtang's message, knowing that it was difficult to protect the position, so he immediately retreated.

The Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Guo Songtao to return to her hometown on the grounds that the military affairs of Guangdong were wrong, because of the disagreement between the superintendents and the husbandry.

Guo Songtao received the decree and wrote to Zeng Guofan: The contemptible people shocked Zuo Jun, and it was not in vain that he was inclined to him, but in the unprovoked mausoleum in advance, and the endless delay afterwards. The matter has come to this, this life is extremely poor, and it has come and gone.

Song Tao book, a light boat, a few horses, gloomy return to Hunan Province.

The huge earthquake in the officialdom of Guangdong, and the Guangdong inspection made Li Futai mourn ripples.

Staff member Zhu Yongfu said: This is the loss of Sai Weng's horse, and the Lord of Zhentai will definitely be blessed.

Li Futai said: What does this mean?

Zhu Yongfu said: As soon as Guo Songtao goes, the vacancy of the position will be filled by Chu people; However, the two palaces will not allow one family to be dominant, and adults will be promoted in the near future.

Li Futai sighed and said: Only Zuo Shuai Zongtang can strategize so quickly and kill the servants, Kang, and the chiefs; Our strength is shallow and shallow.

Zhu Yongfu also sighed: The thieves used 400,000 people from Jiang and Fujian to peep into Guangdong, and they were defeated in Wuping and then in Tai Po. Ding Wei begged to surrender to Fujian, and Gao and Guo surrendered to Fang. Li Shixian collapsed in Yongding, and the rest was only more than 200,000. Citi entered the Guangzhou with 100,000 people, collapsed in the pheasant cage, Shizheng, and collapsed in the iron field, and the whole stock was cared for in Changle, leaving only more than 100,000 ears of Wang Wei.

Jiaoling's escape is also, and half of it has been reduced along the way. As for Lianping, located in Meizhou, the armies of Fujian and Guangdong repeatedly defeated their fronts, and then fell to Jinjishi, and the remaining tens of thousands of people were in Huangsha Ridge and did their work.

Zuo Shuai's merits are unmatched.
