After that night, Xiao Yungui had no time to think of his despicable and dirty thoughts. The next morning, Yang Xiuqing came to Miaogaofeng Camp. It turned out that the southern route had already returned to the early morning of the morning when the Zhang Guoliang troops of the Qing army had arrived in Liling.

The Taiping Army Chenzhou Brigade went north to Changsha, basically walking the old path of the Xiwang, along Youxian and Liling. In order to cover the family of the rear team, Liang Litai, the commander of the rear army, led three thousand troops to break the rear.

At that time, most of the Qing army was stationed in Hengzhou and guarded Hengyang Avenue. When the news of the Taiping Army in Chenzhou was gradually moving north, the former imperial envoy Sai Shanga had been locked up by the Qing court to go to Beijing for crimes. The governor of Huguang, who had just won the victory in the suppression of bandits in Wuzhou, Guangxi, led his troops to Hengzhou.

After hearing the news, Xu Guangjin was shocked. The Taiping Army Brigade in Chenzhou was known as 80,000. Once he went north to join forces with the Changmao pseudo-Western King troops who captured Changsha, the bandits would definitely be more vigorous. So Xu Guangjin ignored Xiang Rong, Zhang Guoliang and other Qing generals' opposition and forced the troops to attack the Taiping Army.

Yang Xiuqing and others were prepared for the Taiping Army. They defeated the Qing army in Junshan north of Anren, and killed Jing Wendai, the general of Zhaotong Town, Yunnan, in the Qing army, and lost more than 800 soldiers. After the victory, Yang Xiuqing ordered the entire army to go north quickly. He left behind 3,000 troops under Liang Litai, who were commanded by Liang Litai, and were in charge of cutting off the rear.

Seeing that the Taiping Army had been on guard, and the sneak attack failed, Xu Guangjin had to obey the ideas of Xiang Rong, Zhang Guoliang and other generals, followed the Taiping Army to recover lost territory and raid the Taiping Army's rear team. This was what Xiang Rong, Zhang Guoliang and others liked to do the most. They chased from Yong'an to Chenzhou and recovered a lot of lost territory along the way. This military merit was a sure profit.

This time was no exception. Zhang Guoliang's troops followed the Taiping Army's rear team to the north, recovered Anren, approached the Taiping Army's rear team, and raided the Taiping Army's rear team. Liang Litai, the commander-in-chief of the palace, repeatedly entangled with Zhang Guoliang, and fought and retreated all the way to Youxian. Due to Liang Litai's struggle, the Qing army was busy fighting for the credit for regaining Chenzhou. It was only after the Taiping Army left Chenzhou that the Qing army's vanguard Zhang Guoliang's troops stepped into Youxian.

The Taiping Army behind the palace was pursued by Zhang Guoliang for successive pursuit, and Liang Litai was very angry. In addition, when he received the news that his mother, Hu Damei, was killed in Xiangyin, and he became even more furious. He decided to concentrate his troops to completely defeat Zhang Guoliang and then catch up with the brigade and rush to Changsha.

On that day, Liang Litai led his army to set up an ambush at Danling Bridge in You County. Before Zhang Guoliang arrived, the Qing army's Manchu general Chang Lu led a thousand Qing troops to arrive first. Chang Lu had discovered the Taiping Army ambushed in the fields and sent the general Deliang to hide in the pine forest and led the front team to pretend to be in a hiding position.

Liang Litai was indeed trapped. More than 2,000 people rushed out from the side, but was cut off by Deliang in the middle. The situation was critical, so he had to send a thousand reserve teams to join the melee. At this time, Zhang Guoliang, Wang Jinxiu and others were looking forward to, leading the army. Zhang Guoliang's troops were extremely fierce and used firearms to attack the Taiping Army with a blower and a fire pot first, and then rushed in and slashed. The Taiping Army could not resist, and hundreds of people were killed and retreated to Tanjia Village. That night, Zhang Guoliang had a vicious plan, dug the river embankment, flooded Tanjia Village. The Taiping Army suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out the entire army. Only Liang Litai and more than 100 Taiping Army escaped and retreated to Changsha.

After Liang Litai and others fled back to Changsha, the south route of horses also returned to Changsha one after another. Zhang Guoliang's troops chased after him and had already occupied Liling again. Later, Xu Guangjin's brigade had passed You County, and the Qing army approached Changsha one after another. After hearing the news, Yang Xiuqing did not punish Liang Litai, so he comforted him a few words and ordered him to go down to heal his wounds. He rushed to the camp outside Xiwang City and summoned the generals to prepare to leave the team.

In the camp of the Western King, in addition to the generals of the West Palace, Yang Xiuqing brought his uncles Lai Hanying, Luo Dagang, Lu Shunde, Zeng Lichang, Chen Renbao, Xu Zongyang, Yang Fuqing, Lin Shaozhang and other generals to the camp.

After the generals sat down, Yang Fuqing, the generals of the State Council, stood up and briefly explained the movements of the Qing army. The generals in the West Palace were not surprised. Last night, the horses in the West Palace also returned to the army, and there were also news from the secret spies from the Heaven and Earth Association. Xiao Yungui, who could not sleep, simply summoned the generals to discuss military affairs, so the generals were already aware of the current situation.

After hearing this, Xiao Yungui, who was sitting at the lower head of Yang Xiuqing, clasped his fists and said, "Fourth brother, the Qing demon soldiers arrived in Liling, and the Qing demons in Liuyang Wang Jialin's army in the north, and the Qing demons in Xiangtan Deng Shaoliang's army in Xiangtan were surrounded by three sides. My younger brother thought that our southern army would take the lead to attack Xiangtan, and Dabao would attack Liuyang, so that the head and tail of the Qing demons could not be taken care of each other. He also set up an ambush between Xiangtan and Liling to find an opportunity to annihilate the Qing demons from Liling, and then divided his troops to cross the Xiangjiang River in Xiangtan, along Tanjiashan and Cha'en Temple to attack Hengshan County, and threatened Hengzhou. When the Qing demons were running back and forth to rescue, he would find an opportunity to eliminate the Qing demons. My younger brother was willing to lead the eight thousand soldiers in the West Palace to personally fight south. The fourth brother was in charge of Xiangtan or Changsha to support the attack, and he would definitely win a complete victory."

This idea was decided last night after Xiao Yungui, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang discussed it. The generals believed that the Qing army in the south was powerful and had many firearms, and were powerful Qing demons who had been fighting with the Taiping Army for a long time. In particular, Xiang Rong, Zhang Guoliang, Jiang Zhongyuan, Hechun and others were all cunning people. In the Battle of Yong'an at the beginning of the year, Xiang Rong and other generals were fighting step by step, fighting with the Taiping Army that was guarding the dangers, gradually forming a siege net based on solid camps and besieged the Taiping Army, which eventually led to insufficient food in the Yong'an Taiping Army and forced to break through.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, all the generals thought they should take the initiative, jumped behind the Qing Yao and launched an attack, and involved the Qing army back and forth, and only then could they find flaws and defeat the Qing army during the Qing army's march. If they still fought camps or positions with the Qing army, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Taiping army. Xiao Yungui was very satisfied with the strategy proposed by Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and other generals. This was a bit like the mobile warfare fought by Taizu in later generations, which had vitality in annihilation of the enemy in the movement. The Taiping army was all good at walking on mountain roads and raiding for long distances. Compared with the Qing army green camp soldiers with a lot of supplies, they still had an advantage in sports warfare.

Yang Xiuqing was still expressionless. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "Do you have something to say?"

Luo Dagang stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness the Western King is very good at this strategy, but the young general thinks that Your Highness the Eastern King should be in charge of the dangerous situation outside Changsha. The young general in Xiangtan is willing to lead his troops to guard the Xi Jinping."

Luo Dagang was originally a general in the West Hall, but when he was in Chenzhou, the King of the West led his troops to attack Changsha. He stayed and merged into the East Hall when he went north. However, because he was born in the Heaven and Earth Association, Yang Xiuqing was not happy, so he was a little depressed and unsuccessful. This time, Luo Dagang was intended to return to the King of the West.

Yang Xiuqing looked at Luo Dagang and shook his head slowly and said, "You and Lu Shunde stayed to prepare for the water camp. The Xiangjiang River waterway traverses the land of Xiangchu. Once the water camp can be completed, you can also support the soldiers and horses of the King of Xiwang. In this way, the three of you, including Zeng Lichang, Chen Renbao, and Xu Zongyang, will go south to attack Xiangtan with the troops of the West Palace. After capturing Xiangtan, Lai Hanying will lead the troops to guard Zeng Lichang, and you will assist you. Yang Fuqing, Lin Shaozhang, you will follow the king to lead the remaining troops to guard Miao Gaofeng and other dangerous places in the south of Changsha City. Beware of the Qing demons' sudden attack, and the camera will come out of Liling."

Hearing this, all the generals stood up and took the order together, followed Yang Xiuqing to signal the generals to sit down, and slowly said: "The battle is imminent, but the flag-men in the city and the demon-teacher in the demon are not removed. At noon this day, they all came to the bank of Xiangjiang River to kill the flag-sacrificial flag. After the flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sacrificial flag-sac

Speaking of this, Yang Xiuqing looked at Xiao Yungui and said, "There are many new soldiers in the West Palace, so the new soldiers in the West Palace will hold the sword to let them see some blood before the war."

Xiao Yungui had already planned to send troops, and Yang Xiuqing should have avoided the matter of letting him slaughter the bannermen. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing mentioned the old things again now, and seemed to be giving a direct order. Thinking of the situation discussed with Huang Weizheng and his son last night, he knew that he would never be able to handle the butcher knife. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, killed 400,000 Qin troops. Although he destroyed the Qin Dynasty, he lost the hearts of the people in the end. Xiao Yungui didn't want to be the name of a butcher. To be honest, there were many unarmed old, weak, women and children among the bannermen, who really couldn't do it. Xiao Yungui stammered.

Yang Xiuqing frowned slightly and ordered the generals to step down and prepare their own troops. Only he and Xiao Yungui were left in the tent.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xiuqing said slightly anger: "Chaogui, what are your concerns? Why do you always push back and forth in this matter? This is not like you used to."

Xiao Yungui Qiqi said ai: "Fourth brother, after all, there are many elderly, weak, women and children among the bannermen, and I really can't do it. Besides, these bannermen live in central Hunan for generations, which is no different from those of Hunanese. I am worried that if I kill them, I will lose the hearts of Hunanese."

Yang Xiuqing said coldly with a stern face: "So you are soft-hearted. Since we have embarked on this path of rebellion and killing officials, we are not willing to be rude in the eradication of these monsters. If we lead thousands of troops, we must be hard-working. The military strategy is Yun Ci, but we will not be in charge of soldiers! The bannermen are the foundation of the Qing monsters. How can they defeat Qing monsters if they don't kill them? Moreover, these bannermen rely on their own identity as bannermen, have always been accomplices for tigers and rampant in the countryside. If you kill them, you are eliminating the harm to the Hunan people! As for why you want to kill the elderly, weak women and children, you are going to kill the weeds and eliminate the roots without leaving any future troubles!"

Xiao Yungui couldn't help but say, "But there are so many bannermen in the world, can we really kill them all? Can we kill them all?"

Yang Xiuqing said coldly: "I don't plan to kill them all, but one thing is to kill the bannermen and be afraid! Let them know who is the master of the world. At that time, as long as the bannermen surrender, our heavenly kingdom will naturally be transformed and accept them. But before killing the bannermen for two hundred years, I will not stop! You can't stop either!"

The cold and sequential words made Xiao Yungui tremble. Can killing people make people surrender? Xiao Yungui doesn't know the answer for the time being, but he seems to think that killing and stopping killing is not the best way, but now he really can't find any words to refute Yang Xiuqing.
