Chapter 172: Lai Wenguang Dies, Yangzhou (2)

Guo Songlin received the order and rushed to the camp of the Ming army, saying that Liu Ming preached: After Ren Rei's death, Lai Rei was already a frightened bird. The three provincial brothers led the main army and chased after them; I will join the armed forces and volley around the front, and then attack from both sides, and I will rely on the reverse way of survival!

Liu Ming preached: There is a beautiful brother Lao Zimei, but the trapped beast is still fighting, be careful in everything; Wu Yi's military strength is single, Yang Dingxun's medal battalion, and he runs with his brother.

Guo Songlin and Yang Dingxun hurriedly pursued, and on December 7, in Huangliu Town, Qicheng, they besieged the East Twist Army again.

Lai Wenguang, Li Yuntai, Fan Ruzeng and others fought their way out of the encirclement and walked all the way north until Shouguang stabilized their positions.

Lai Wenguang said: It has been more than three months since the secret letter was sent to Shaanxi, I don't know if King Liang received it?

Li Yuntai, King of Wei, said: Qi Yu Zundian, the left demon Zongtang has entered Shaanxi, and it is very difficult for King Liang to withdraw. This corner is between the Mi River and the Yang River, and it is not suitable to defend it.

Lai Wenguang said: The stream is blocked, the demon artillery fire is waiting for the opportunity to fight.

Li Yuntai said no more and retreated.

The first king, Fan Ruzeng, said: Qi Yu Zundian, I am willing to lure the enemy forward.

Lai Wenguang sighed and said: Zhu Zhu Su is rabble, there is no discipline, King Xianwo does not dare to be strong, and I can't be stubborn! However, Zhang Zongyu, the king of Liang, and Ren Zhu, the king of Lu, can be clearly restrained and set up camps; Get on your horse and charge, get off your horse and ambush, you can do anything. Now the king of Lu has died, and the king of Liang is far away; The end of the road, but that's it!

Fan Ruzeng also sighed: Could it be that the sky is going to kill us?

Lai Wenguang said: The trapped beast is still fighting, and the situation is human! 30,000 war horsemen are still there, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, relying on the water to fight again, and the sky will not live up. Quickly pass on my order, the army rested on the spot, took the opportunity to kill Liu Demon, quickly went south, and walked south beyond Liutang Henan.

On December 19, 1867, Liu Mingchuan, Guo Songlin, Yang Dingxun, Shanqing, Wendekeler and others led their troops to forcibly cross the Mi River, build a fortress and line up, outflank the detour, and immediately attacked.

Lai Wenguang's soldiers were divided into three ways, swore to fight to the death, fought fiercely for three days and nights, the East Twist Army was almost rejected, and the first king Fan Ruzeng and the king Xu Changxian were killed in battle. Lai Wenguang panicked, first abandoned the foot team, then abandoned the baggage, and then abandoned the horse team, quickly along the Mi River, ran south, and then broke through the defense line of the Liutang River from Shuyang Zhangjiawan, went south along the canal, and retreated to Yangzhou Wayaopu, the foothold was not stable, and was raided by Wu Yulan's department; Lai Wenguang was caught off guard, was injured and captured, and more than 1,000 remnants of the East Twist Army also dispersed in a hurry.

Wu Yulan wanted to make immortal contributions, and repeatedly persuaded Lai Wenguang to recruit Zhang Zongyu and disperse the various ministries, and make meritorious contributions to atone for his sins.

Lai Wenguang said: Life is long, and dying at this moment is also complete; Those who are about to die, please ask Lord Daotai to give him a pen and paper, leave a few words, and make people smile.

Wu Yulan said: The two armies are fighting, and if you die, you will live, and it is a fluke to capture Er today; Whatever you want, you can't do it!

Lai Wenguang pondered for two days, and left his last words: Gaiwen is easy to call heroes, and it is difficult to be loyal and good.

More than 100 million people grow in western Guangdong, and they have to accompany me to drive the king of heaven, and advocate Jintian in the year of Daoguang Gengxu, and Dingding Jinling, which has been eight out of ten years now. However, among them, the success or failure of the militarism, the gains and losses of the opportunity, and the shift of the situation, it is difficult to describe it all, but there is only a few words to express the rest of the heart.

Yiyu was in the second year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he was the first to Mu Guoen, a civil servant, and a court class. In the autumn of the sixth year of Bingchen, on the occasion of the country's many deaths, when the monarch and ministers tasted courage, they abandoned the text and went to the military, and were ordered to go out to Jiangyou, in order to use it later. The Lord of Ho is gracious, and the rewards and punishments are given by the rest, and when it comes to the prelude, it is not a heavy task.

In the winter of the seventh year of Ding Si, he ordered him to return to the dynasty and be assisted by Guji. In the spring of the eighth year of Wuwu, my lord Shengming, with ministers without doubt, and knew Yu ambition, so he ordered to attack Jiangbei to cooperate with Cheng Tian'an Chen Yucheng to defend the matter, and forever consolidate the gateway to Kyoto.

Under the order, the competition is self-defeating, and I am afraid that I will have the weight of the commission, and I dare to complain that I will not obey? And the words are contrary to the ear, the good medicine is bitter, and the truth is also the word.

In the autumn of the eleventh year of Xinyou, Anqing was lost, and there was a suggestion in the rest of the time: when Zi Anqing was lost, it was advisable to join Zhang Lexing and Miao Peilin in the north to consolidate the left of Beijing, and the surprise troops entered the land of Jingxiang, not more than half a year, the soldiers were many generals, and they could restore Anhui Province and consolidate the Beijing Gate, which was the best policy.

King Nai Ying did not follow the Yu discussion, so he led his division to cross the Lu, asked for the order to defend himself, and added the seal of Yu as the king of obedience, and ordered to go on an expedition with the king of Fu and the king of Qi, recruit soldiers and horses, and restore Anhui Province as soon as possible. Whew! This is the reason for the British king's own misfortune and the hatred of the country.

There are also loyal to the king Li Xiucheng, who attacked Shanghai in vain without knowing the king's order, not only did he not conquer it, but also lost the righteousness of foreign peace treaties, defeated the country and lost his family, all because of this move. At the end of the Xinyou year, the king of Kaifu and the king of Qi were reluctant to pass through the Huai, and the rest of the time knew that there was a day to cross the Huai, and there was no period to turn Huai.

It is to pass the five passes, cross the Qinling Mountains, arrive at the Central Plains, go out of the Tong Pass, in the winter of the twelfth year of Renxu, march into Hanzhong from Yunyang, all the way surging, attack all the invincible.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Jiazi, he returned to the east from Hanzhong to illustrate the siege of Beijing, but it failed to lead to the loss of Kyoto and the dispersion of people's hearts. At that time, the soldiers of Jiangbei had no way to return, a total of tens of thousands, all of whom were Mengbo, and its leaders Ren Zhu, Niu Hongsheng, Zhang Zongyu, Li Yuntai, etc., swore to live and die together, and they did not give up their suffering, so please take control of the belt in order to ensure the effect.

This is the result of the lack of benevolence of the officials and soldiers, and it can also be said that they do an injustice and kill an innocent person. Thinking about it in this way, it is true that it is not easy to say good words through the ages.

Depending on this situation, after the monarch humiliated the country and ruined the family, he had to reluctantly engage in it, and did his best to obey the mandate of heaven.

Unexpectedly, after several years of independence, he fought without victory, covered with frost and snow, in order to restore the country in the near future. Who cares about Li Gongbao, resourceful, elite and general; And being able to sanctify the body is to make everyone feel benevolent.

Although his talent is shallow, he has long known that independence is difficult to sustain, and it is difficult to stand in isolation; In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Bingyin, Zhang Zongyu, the king of Liang, Zhang Zongjue, the king of Youwo, and Qiu Yuancai, the king of Huai, advanced to Ganshan and Shaanxi, and thought that the chaos was a horn.

But God doesn't bless me, until today, what can I say! The ancient gentleman, the country is ruined, the monarch humiliates the minister, and the righteousness is obvious.

Now the rest of the army is scattered, and the real sky is defeated, what a pity! The only death is to repay the country, and to the whole minister's festival.
