From near to far, when the order of the Western King arrived at Li Yiwen in Wuchang, it was already six days later. Li Yiwen was very upset about the rumors that had been circulating these days. After receiving the order of the Western King, Li Yiwen hurriedly read it and was extremely happy and immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.

In the Wuchang Governor's Office, Li Yiwen's generals arrived one after another, including the generals of the Shui Camp Lu Shunde, the general of the Guards Chen Yucheng, and Li Yiwen's general of the army. After the generals gathered together, Li Yiwen ordered people to pass on the command of the Western King through the command of the generals, and then said: "The command of the Western King has been clearly explained, and we are ordered to quickly inform the military and civilians. The so-called rumor of the Qing Yao's Tu is actually a saying of pretending to be a god. Mr. Zuo also explained the meaning of the so-called thirty-four hexagrams of the Qing Yao, and ordered the military officials to read and recite it carefully, and then he would explain the instructions to the military and civilians to calm the hearts of the people." Following Li Yiwen recited the thirty-four hexagrams of Zuo Zongtang's doubts. The explanation in the article happened to be the opposite of the rumors of the Qing army, and it indicates that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will achieve great achievements everywhere.

A rough man stood up and said happily: "Li Jiandian, the rumor of Qing Yao is indeed powerful. Recently, the people in the three towns have been talking about it and have been repeatedly banned. Now that the Western King has a way to break the rumors, we can calm the people's hearts. Speaking of this, Wen Jie has to rely on a talented man like Mr. Zuo. With his words, are you afraid that the people will not believe it? Cai Yuanlong said, our heaven is at a time of prosperity. If the Qing Yao talks, we will be defeated? It is ridiculous!"

Cai Yuanlong was from Yuezhou, Hunan. During the Battle of Yuezhou, he led hundreds of people from the village to join Li Yiwen's army. He was brave in fighting and was also a straightforward person, and was highly appreciated by Li Yiwen.

Cai Yuanlong's words resonated with the generals. In recent days, there were no rumors that came out. I did something like "Tuibei Tu" and the poems were sung very well. However, the generals of the Taiping Army Li Yiwen's army did not know much about literacy, and they were unable to argue and did not know how to calm the hearts of the people. Li Yiwen could only order that rumors were strictly prohibited in the army, but it was difficult for the people to control them, so these rumors were banned more and more. Now that the Western King's order has arrived, even the manuscripts on how to break the rumors have been clearly stated. Cai Yuanlong was straightforward and immediately applauded and praised them.

A thin black man beside Cai Yuanlong said in a deep voice: "Cai Junshu, what matters is not the people's rumors. If we win a few more battles in the West Palace, the rumors will naturally be broken. The one that is now deadly is the sentence of the king killing the king. I am afraid that the king of Changsha and the king of the East will have suspicion about our West Palace after hearing these disagreements."

Gao Yunguan, a native of Qichun, Hubei, was a man who was in charge of Li Yiwen when he defeated Wuchang. He was also a powerful man. He was very scheming and valued by Li Yiwen. Gao Yunguan's words came to the point. The people's hearts were good. As long as the morale of the Taiping Army was stable and he won a few more battles, the rumors would naturally be self-defeating. What was difficult was that there were also words of the king killing the king, saying that the Western King wanted to play Nanjing's independence. Such rumors spread to Changsha, and it was difficult to guarantee that the other Taiping Army would not have other ideas, and the Heavenly King and the Eastern King would not have other ideas.

Li Yiwen smiled slightly and said, "The Qing Yao is vicious in his heart and wants to use this to distract our Taiping Army. The King of Western thought also expected this, so the notice also issued an order to inform the entire army and the people. Our West Palace troops are still part of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Heavenly King is still our common ruler. Our Western King still follows the Heavenly King and the Eastern King's orders to follow the command. In order to dispel the doubts of other friendly troops, the King of Western ordered the voluntarily abandon Wuchang, Jiujiang, Tianjia Town, Anqing and other places, and let us leave some defenders waiting for the Changsha brigade to send troops to deliver, and the rest of the troops rushed east to Nanjing to gather together."

Hearing this, all the generals were extremely surprised. Following the buzzing discussion, a long-faced man stood up and said in a muffled voice: "Check, we worked hard in Wuchang. We only repelled several attacks of Qing Yao last month. The outer periphery of the three towns was arranged like iron barrels. Do you give up if you say you want to give up? Besides, most of the soldiers in our army are from Hubei. It is very difficult to ask them to advance eastward and stay away from their hometown."

The man who spoke was Wang Anjun, the commander of the Third Army, and was also from Hubei. Like Gao Yunguan, he also entered the camp in Wuchang. Among the new recruits in Hubei, he was also a general under Li Yiwen. After hearing his words, the generals agreed, which showed that the generals were still quite reluctant to give up the city along the river.

Li Yiwen stood up and walked a few steps behind his hands, saying slowly: "The King of the West said it very clearly in his letter. At present, our West Palace should focus on the overall situation. We would rather compromise than have any brothers and sisters tragic events. What is Wuchang? The King of the West can even give up Nanjing! The King of the West has sent an envoy to ask the King of Heaven, the King of the East, to move the King of Heaven and the King of the East to Nanjing, set up the capital and establish a number, and think that the Kingdom of Heaven is the foundation, let alone ours?"

Speaking of this, the generals stopped talking. Li Yiwen said again: "The King of the West also said in his letter. However, if there are new Hubei soldiers who are unable to leave their hometowns, they can stay as defenders and join the Changsha brigade. The same is our Taiping Holy Soldiers, and the same is our brothers. The King of the West has issued an order, so everyone will start preparing. However, if there are soldiers who want to stay, they can be organized into an army, commanded by Gao Yunguan and Wang Anjun, waiting for the settlement, and the rest of the troops will advance east first with the general."

In addition to giving Li Yiwen the order, Xiao Yungui also wrote a secret letter to him. The reason was that Gao Yunguan and Wang Anjun, under Li Yiwen. These two men were Gao Yongkuan and Wang Anjun, who later killed Mu Wang Tan Shaoguang surrendered to Li Hongzhang in Suzhou. When Li Yiwen reported to grant the two men the military commander, Xiao Yungui did not want to appoint them, but he thought that they were still young and did not do anything to betray him. He was afraid that Li Yiwen's kindness would hurt Li Yiwen's kindness, so he was accurate as if he was fine. At this moment, he wanted to abandon Wuchang, so he would be better off leaving these two men to the Changsha brigade and fight with the West Palace. Xiao Yungui was afraid that one day these two men would have a rebellious attack and would be troublesome to kill him in Xiancheng, so it would be better to kick out this time bomb early.

So Xiao Yungui wrote a secret letter to Li Yiwen, asking these two people to bring their troops to stay. Li Yiwen had always followed the words of the Western King, so he said it. Unexpectedly, Gao Yunguan and Wang Anjun did not object, but just looked at each other and stood up to receive the order. Seeing that the second general had no intention of following him to advance east, Li Yiwen was still quite disappointed, but when he saw that the second general was unwilling to advance east, he had to give up.

Three days later, the Wuchang Taiping Army was ready. More than 10,000 of the 20,000 Hubei recruits were unwilling to go east and stay in Wuchang. The remaining 20,000 troops and thousands of water camp soldiers led the camps to the east along the river. When they advanced east, Li Yiwen left the Wuchang defenders for half a year, and some firearms and red medicines, which were enough for them to guard, and all the other materials were taken away. Even the general accounts of the two companies, Baoqing Store and Guiyun Store, moved along with each other. He Yuanlun, Zhu Changlin and Wei Helin also received a letter from Xiao Yungui, asking them to go east to Nanjing. Xiao Yungui planned to always set the general accounts of the two companies on their territory, and leave a semicolon in the rest of the places. So the Wuchang Taiping Army began a large relocation in advance, and went down the river in a mighty manner.

Ten months ago, after more than 10,000 troops from Zhang Guoliang's troops of the Qing army were from Liling to Wuchang, the Taiping Army originally planned to capture one place and abandon one place as before, but unexpectedly, the Taiping Army did not abandon the important town along the river this time. After Zhang Guoliang's troops arrived in Wuchang, they attacked several times, but were defeated by Li Yiwen. They had more than 2,000 soldiers, but they could not even find the walls of Wuchang City.

On that day, Zhang Guoliang heard the news that Changmao in Wuchang City had gone east, and he led his troops to attack Wuchang again, but he still failed to gain a advantage. Then Xiang Rong's messenger arrived, and Zhang Guoliang realized that the long-haired thieves were mobilizing some troops to advance east, intending to start a new offensive in the east. Xiang Rong learned that the cities occupied by the Taiping Army along the river were all signs of mobilizing troops, so he led his troops to the outside of Nanjing to station. However, the Taiping Army had already occupied the dangerous terrain outside the city. Xiang Rong could not set up a Jiangnan camp in Nanjing Xiaoling Guard like in history, so he had to retreat to Niushou Mountain to garrison.

Faced with the order of Emperor Xianfeng to regain Nanjing, Xiang Rong was in a state of suffering. Now Changmao can calm down and not launch an offensive is already Amitabha Buddha. Xiang Rong did not plan to stroke the tiger's beard. He knew that the Taiping Army in front of him was the soldiers of the Western King of Taiping Army that almost died in Xiangjiang. So he ordered Zhang Guoliang, Li Mengqun and other Qing troops to abandon the strategy of attacking important towns along the river and move closer to the periphery of Nanjing. Xiang Rong, the old fox, had a premonition that the Taiping Army would definitely make big moves this time.

Sure enough, news came that day that Zhenjiang and Guazhou were in a fall, and Jurong, Lishui and Yangzhou were exposed to the Taiping Army's military front. Yangzhou is fine, it was the defense zone of the old man Qishan, but Jurong and Lishui were careless. Since Wuhu was still in the hands of the Taiping Army, if there were any mistakes in these two places, Niushou Mountain, which Xiang Rong's troops stationed, would be killed, and his 20,000 Qing troops were in danger of being completely wiped out.

So before Xiang Rong could arrive, he retreated to Lishui and Jurong, who was more prescient in blocking the road to the West Palace to advance to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai. But what Xiang Rong did not expect was that Xiao Yungui had long disliked Xiang Rong, a follower. He would be better off blocking the road to advance, and annihilated it, completely lifting this annoying fly. So the Taiping Army and the Qing Army were busy dispatching troops in Jiangnan, preparing to start a bigger battle.

Compared to Xiang Rong's worries, the Heavenly King and the East King far away in Changsha had more worries. When the rumor of "Tuibei Tu" came, Yang Xiuqing understood at the first moment that this was Qing Yao's trick to spread rumors and cause trouble, but when he recalled it carefully, Yang Xiuqing still felt a strange feeling in his heart. The Western King was once his hard-core brother and was also his biggest ally in the upper class of the Taiping Army. The Western King would unconditionally support the decisions he made, and he would unconditionally support the decisions made by the Western King. Even in order to dispel the idea of ​​the Heavenly King to win over the Western King, Yang Xiuqing even tried to get rid of the Western King's Niang and break the nepotism between the Western King and the Zhutang King's family and even the Heavenly King.

But at this time, the King of East felt that his former brother had changed and was no longer as easy to control as before. Since he led his troops north to Yuezhou to create a strange stone from the sky, Yang Xiuqing began to have a headache. Without the need for Qing Yao to remind him, Yang Xiuqing began to find that the power of the King of West had begun to expand, and he captured dozens of towns along the way, including big cities like Nanjing and Wuchang. Regardless of population, money, grain, and firearms, were dozens of times that of the Taiping Army in Changsha. Will he be willing to be just one King of West? How to fight back on this rumor, stabilize the King of West and not do betrayal, and maintain the good situation became a problem that Yang Xiuqing was worried about.
