    Li Xiucheng's answer was speechless: "This is both the intention of the King of Heaven and not the intention of the King of Heaven"

    His answer was too confusing, but Zhang Lexing could understand that the King of Heaven could no longer control the entire Taiping Army, so sometimes he supported troops entering Kaifeng, and sometimes he made completely different statements, but this was also his annexation of the Taiping Army.  A great opportunity for this force: "Well, when I see the King of Heaven, we can have a good talk and we will definitely reach a consensus"

    A few hours later, someone in the Taiping Army said angrily: "Nuanzi is just Nuanzi, a group of bandits. No wonder we all invaded Tianjing and Wuhan, but they still didn't even conquer their hometown of Haozhou!"

    The person who said this was none other than Chen Yucheng, the famous King of England. The former "Thirty Check Points" has now become the most influential person in the rest of the Taiping Army. This is simply a miracle.  (Just read the novel.)

    Chen Yucheng was only twenty-one years old. This handsome young man had cooperated with the Nian Army countless times in history, but he had always looked down on these friendly armies. He believed that these friendly armies had poor military discipline and failed to achieve more than they did. Now he is even more  Some people questioned Nian Zi: "Now that Luzhou has been lost, if we don't advance towards Kaifeng and fight for the Central Plains, will we just defend ourselves at Zhiheji!"

    Liu Xuanlin next to him agreed with Chen Yucheng's judgment: "King Ying, what you said is true. There is only one way to survive now. That is for us to join forces with Nianzi and go all the way northward to attack Kaifeng and avoid Liu Juehu's front. Maybe there is still a chance.  vitality!"

    This Liu Xuanlin is also a well-known figure in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although he is many years older than Chen Yucheng, he and Chen Yucheng have been close friends since they were young. More importantly, Liu Xuanlin not only has military skills, but is also a rare scholar in the Taiping Army.  , even Zeng Guofan respected him so much that he often did not dare to call him by his first name in his letters, but instead addressed him as "Xiao Weng". When it came to the decisive battle in Anqing.  Liu Xiaolin led his troops to besiege Chigangji, and said very solemnly: "We must not let Xiao Weng slip through the net."

    Chen Yucheng's final defeat had nothing to do with the total army gathered by Liu Xuanlin's regiment in Chigang. Since Liu Xuanlin's more than 3,000 Taiping Army commanders were completely wiped out.  Chen Yucheng lost the ability to fight the Qing army in the field and could only sit back and wait for death.

    But now Chen Yucheng has not only Liu Xuanlin, but also tens of thousands of Taiping troops following him, so he has a lot more confidence: "Xuanlin, if Zhang Lexing refuses to do it, then we will get rid of Nianzi and do it ourselves.  There are quite a few of us who have the same idea!¡±

    Liu Xuanlin doesn¡¯t see it that way.  He said: "But what they want more is to hand over guns and surrender. They are not of the same mind as us. King of England, taking Kaifeng is not a problem, but after we take Kaifeng, it is a problem"

    This is a stab at Chen Yucheng. Chen Yucheng also knows his old problems. Among the Taiping Army, he can be said to be the best corps commander.  He was victorious in every battle, but he still had a fatal flaw.

    That is pride, fatal pride.  Especially the pride of victory.

    In difficult situations, Chen Yucheng is often able to organize battles very well. However, when he is at an advantage or after winning a victory, Chen Yucheng becomes too proud and underestimates the enemy. In the past few years, winning first and then losing has become more and more common.  How many times, this may have a lot to do with Chen Yucheng's youthful ambition and lack of control.

    Chen Yucheng also knew this fatal flaw of his, but he was successful at a young age and had already become a commander of ten thousand people at the age of sixteen or seventeen.  He could never change his youthful and frivolous habits throughout his life, so he turned around and said, "Then we have to deal with Kaifeng. This is the only way out!"

    "There is still a way out!" Liu Xuanlin said softly: "There is still a way out!"

    "I know!" Chen Yucheng sighed. This handsome little general sighed quietly, but with extraordinary determination: "In this current situation, I am the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is me. If I follow Liu Juehu,  The kingdom of heaven is almost there.¡±

    He became determined again and continued: "Zhang Lexing wants to fight to the death with Liu Juehu at Zhiheji. This is a dead end. [*You]"

    Not to mention Chen Yucheng, even Liu Xuanlin could see the problem with Zhang Lexing's strategic layout. No problem. There are more than a hundred miles around Zhiheji where Nianzi's base is. Nianzi can easily be replenished in these bases, and this is their  Everything is convenient in my hometown, and it seems to be very suitable for launching a strategic decisive battle, or as a base for going south to the Huaihe River.

    However, this strategic layout has a fatal flaw, that is, this area was originally the poorest area in Anhui. After the Yellow River captured the Huaihe River, the Yellow River Flood Area made these areas even more impoverished, not to mention the production suffered here after the Nianzi riot.  to fatal destruction.

    What¡¯s even worse is that Nianzi doesn¡¯t have any cities at all. They are just a combination of a bunch of polders. Even Nianzi¡¯s base camp isJiji was nothing more than a large market town. This place became Woyang County later. Even among the many counties in Anhui, this place was nothing.

    They didn't even capture the city of Haozhou. With a large number of people and little land and poor production, they could only make trouble and plunder hundreds of miles away, using the looted loot to feed their clan. But  Now under Liu Juehu's military front, they could only be trapped in hundreds of miles of densely dotted polders near Zhiheji.

    Therefore, Chen Yucheng continued to pound the table and said: "Xiangbei, only Xiangbei, Nianzi must have friends who agree with us!"

    Although Chen Yucheng felt that tens of thousands of Taiping troops were trapped in Pheasant River, Feng Sixian was shocked by the news of the alliance between the Taiping Army and the Nian Army among the Hong Army.

    The combination of these two powerful enemies is not good news for the next major offensive of the Eighth Division. Feng Sixian himself has issued a military order and must deal with the enemy forces in Pheasant River Ji as soon as possible: "Now the core is in Pheasant River Ji."  The northern Anhui region is full of Nian and Taiping troops. According to the most optimistic estimate, the total number is 200,000!"

    "What a bunch of bandits that can't be killed!" The officer of the Eighth Division immediately shouted: "How many thousands of them did we kill last time? Fifty thousand? Sixty thousand, and so many of them appeared again."

    ¡°That¡¯s why His Highness has repeatedly warned that the dispute is a political issue, not a military issue. We must fight for it as dividedly as possible.¡±

    In a sense, what Liu Chang said is indeed the truth. Nianzi is the inevitable result of population pressure and political darkness, but the problem is how to deal with the Nian army. Feng Sixian said straightforwardly: "The current strategic directions are based on Fujian."  The two provinces with the weakest troops are Anhui! Fujian still has one division and two brigades. Our Anhui only has one division and one regiment, plus an infantry regiment borrowed from Jiangxi. If we don¡¯t count the militia, rural soldiers, and county ** companies  , the **** camp of the state capital has a total strength of only 16,000 people."

    Even if the ** Battalion and ** Company as local troops are included, the strength of the entire Anhui battlefield is just over 20,000 regular troops. If the quality of the Taiping Army, Nian Army, and Qing Army they faced is not considered,  , based on statistics alone, the total strength may be close to 300,000.

    "Twenty to one!" Feng Sixian quickly concluded: "And we have a great advantage."

    In fact, Feng Sixian did not include the militiamen, basic militiamen, and rural soldiers who actually participated in the war. If these irregular troops were included, the total army strength of the Hong Army on the Anhui battlefield should be more than 100,000, but these  Irregulars don't make much sense.

    These units may be fine for defense, but if they are used for offense, they are of little significance. The problem Feng Sixian encounters now is that the regular army is too thin, especially after losing the key support from the headquarters, attacking the Pheasant River Collection  It seems to be very difficult.

    Feng Sixian likes the current situation. Difficulties will make him full of passion and motivation. He will strive to eliminate the entire Anhui in the shortest time. Just like Nianzi is not a piece of iron. Many Nian soldiers, especially those belonging to  The Nian troops in the Blue Banner often contacted Feng Sixian about the issue of surrender.

    "Maybe we can create a gap in the Nian Army, as long as one model is enough!" Someone put forward this suggestion: "For example, Liu Sanniang is a good model, but they occupy Fengyang County."

    "After all, she is just a woman. No matter how talented she is, she is still just a woman!" Feng Sixian disagreed with this opinion: "I have suggested to His Highness that Yang Fuqing Brigade from Jiangxi can be seconded to us in Anhui. This is the old Taiping  A team with military roots!¡±

    "A team based on the old Taiping Army" means that this is only a second-rate unit in the Hong Army, but a second-rate infantry brigade is enough. At least the Old Taiping Army is most familiar with how to deal with the Taiping Army and the Nian Army, but Feng Sixian  He knew that this suggestion would not be approved.

    The most important battlefield now is the battlefield between the two lakes. Both Hunan and Hubei must win the entire province, especially Hubei. Even Feng Sixian himself is looking forward to the moment of conquering Yichang. As long as Yichang is conquered, Hubei's Shi Tieji will be seventh.  The master can then return to Wanxi and become one with Feng Sixian.

    The situation on the battlefield in Hubei has undergone earth-shaking changes since Hu Linyi surrendered. Shi Tuiji, the Hubei governor, can be said to be unlucky. He has captured most of Hubei within a few months of taking office, unlike Feng Sixian who only captured  Just half of Anhui.

    But someone raised objections: "We also have teams based on the old Taiping Army in Anhui, and there are more than one brigade. It depends on whether the governor is willing to make this determination!"

    "Where?" Feng Sixian quickly understood: "You mean Shi Dakai from Anqing!"

    "That's right! Now it's our turn to solve Shi Dakai'sIt's time!  "

    Feng Sixian immediately asked: "Isn't Shi Dakai considering changing the flag?"

    "It's not just a matter of changing flags!" A group of officers stood up and protested Feng Sixian's weakness: "It's a matter of changing one's mind."
