    "Zhang Guoliang wants to run away?"

    Fu Wendao felt hot all over when he thought of this possibility. This may be one of the best opportunities in his life. If he takes care of Zhang Guoliang and goes to the two major provinces of Shandong or Henan, it should be his turn anyway.  Already?

    But he had to force himself to calm down. He had to calm down. The current situation in the Jiangbei war situation was very strange. Although the Hong Army only had more than 10,000 regular troops and slightly smaller irregular troops and militia, it overwhelmed Zhang Guoliang, Monk Wang,  The defeated generals such as Shengbao and Hechun were unable to move and suffered repeated defeats.

    But he also had to admit that these Qing troops still had some fighting capacity and were huge. If he made a fatal mistake in his judgment, he might capsize in the gutter. Therefore, Fu Wendao carefully considered the specific details.  : "We must obtain more intelligence and request support from Jiang Ning! At least give it a reinforcement battalion!"

    Within forty-eight hours, Liu Chang had already obtained the latest battle report from the front line, as well as a message forwarded by Fu Wendao from Yangzhou via Jiangning: "Zhang Guoliang seems to be showing signs of moving north, very good, very good"

    Liu Chang looked at this information with a smile, and said to Xu Yuegui on the opposite side: "It seems that you have made some achievements!"

    "It's more than just achievements!" Xu Yuegui said with a smile: "We are following His Highness's method. Now as long as Zhang Guoliang withdraws, Xuzhou can fall into our hands!"

    Liu Chang is also quite proud of acquiring such a famous city without fighting: "It's a pity that Fu Wendao has to be held down so that he can't be too anxious, so as not to beat Zhang Guoliang!"

    Xu Xianggui, who was next to Xu Yuegui, interjected: "Your Highness, why don't you kill Zhang Guoliang completely? After all, this is a powerful force among the demons!"

    "What can a strong force do?" Liu Chang replied: "It's just a defeated army. Now in Xuzhou's strong city, there are tens of thousands of people who dare not fight with me, let alone after hastily fleeing north, I fancy  Or his ability to cause trouble in the north!¡±

    Regarding the subsequent reaction after such a huge military group as Zhang Guoliang, Monk Wang, Shengbao, and He Chun retreated northward.  As for the decision Beijing may make and the direction this military group may retreat in the future, Liu Chang cannot make a clear judgment now, but one thing is clear.

    That is the Monkey King who Zhang Guoliang Group must have penetrated into the belly of Princess Iron Fan.  Countless storms can be stirred up in the north, which will greatly benefit the Hong Army's New Year offensive.

    He is worried about another issue now, that is, the Russians and Spanish.

    The Spanish volunteer army movement in Guangdong was inherently deficient. Although it could provide Ye Mingchen and others with great support, it was still not enough to cause trouble. The Russians were the real trouble since they invaded Heilongjiang southward in the summer.  News of the Qing army's defeat was everywhere, and it seemed that they had the intention of taking over the entire outside the pass and directly advancing into the pass.

    Under such a double attack, Emperor Xianfeng and the Military Aircraft Department were already in a hurry, and many decisions were made in a mess. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Northeast fell. However, Liu Chang did not allow such history to happen, so the Hong Army must fight with the Northeast in the Northeast.  A decisive battle with the Russian army took place in the Great Plains of North China.

    According to the intelligence received from many friends of the Hong Army such as Demons, the Russian army spent a lot of money this time.  The troops they mobilized in the Far East and Outer Mongolia numbered 50,000 or 60,000, if not 100,000, including Cossack troops who had been victorious in every battle.  There are border guards that the Russians are proud of, as well as their artillery units, which are known as the gods of war. They have also mobilized troops from the interior, but the current winter has affected their offensive.

    Once the weather improves, the troops with the double-headed eagle flag will sweep across the entire Far East. But what makes Liu Chang most wary is nothing else, but the fact that the Tsar and St. Petersburg have re-appointed the former Governor of Eastern Siberia, Murayoviv. This is  The most vigilant opponent in China.

    In history, it was this man who won the war without a fight with just a few thousand troops.  He just took away millions of square kilometers of land from China. He can be said to be the most critical figure in Russian history. Sometimes, Liu Chang even suspected that this man was better than tens of thousands of hard-working Russian infantry.

    Now is the time to strengthen intelligence work, so Liu Chang said to Xu Xianggui: "In addition to Xuzhou, the work in Pheasant River Ji must also be stepped up Pheasant River Ji.

    This large market town by the Wohe River is now in a violent storm.  A heavy snowfall makes the whole world clean.

    "It's just that the people in Zhiheji today don't have the same New Year atmosphere as in previous years. They are no longer talking about whose girl is pretty, or whose family bought three to five more buckets of grain, or how to build a fence.

    Weizi, or called Zhai, or by other names, is the standard army of Lianghuai villages and towns.?Fortress, whether it is Huaizi, Tuanlian, or any other armed force, if you want to start an uprising, you must first build a fortress. Sometimes you build a fortress directly in your hometown, using clan relationships, and sometimes you build a fort where you have relatives.  No matter what form it is, a village builds a fence based on relationships and friendships. A fence means that this force has its own foundation.

    In history, when Seng Gelinqin conquered Zhiheji, he broke countless polders. As a result, the clan relationships in these villages underwent earth-shaking changes. Some families were killed, and some small families became the leaders of the village.  Under the new owners, some families have completely declined. Typical examples are the Zhang Lexing and Zhang Zongyu families. According to incomplete statistics from later genealogies, at least a hundred people from the first two generations of the Zhang family joined the Nian Army, and most of them served as Nian chiefs.  And died on the battlefield, leaving only about thirty people in the third generation.

    This kind of Weizi can be said to be the strongest military stronghold that Nianzi could think of, with dense gun holes, hundreds of kilograms of cannons, ditches for releasing water, and walls of two or three feet high. In history,  The Nianzi Weizi uprising was ultimately defeated by Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang's siege tactics. Such Weizi continued to last for nearly a hundred years in the Huai Army's hometown, and even played an important role during the Anti-Japanese War.

    At that time, there was a Weizi left by the famous Huai Army general Zhou Shengbo in Feixi. A group of middle and high-ranking officers of the Gui Army were gambling with the descendants of Zhou Shengbo in the Weizi. Unexpectedly, an infantry brigade of the Japanese army came out of the city to raid. They had just raided the place where these gamblers were.  Weizi, in a hurry, Weiding and the guards used Weizi to organize resistance, and blocked the Japanese troops who did not know what was true and what was true outside Weizi for a whole night.

    At daybreak, the senior officials of the Gui Army who were in high spirits but were caught gambling were so angry that they all pulled their troops over to openly fight against the Japanese army's gambling operation.  Unable to hold up under the siege of the Japanese Army, they retreated and suffered setbacks, and finally almost the entire army was wiped out. According to the history of the 60th Infantry Regiment, after the war, the 60th Regiment went to clean up the battlefield and found more than 300 soldiers.  The corpses of Japanese soldiers became the most glorious battle in the entire Anhui Anti-Japanese War history. This was the famous Battle of Shushan.

    ???????????????????????????????????? Now the Naizi of Zhiheji have to think about how to strengthen the village walls and fortifications. They are discussing how to place earthen cannons, setting up traps, and all kinds of methods.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT!

    As soon as they heard this sentence, everyone felt that they were defeated. Some people took a few sips of wine, while others simply shouted: "Listen to Alliance Leader Zhang. Listen to Alliance Leader Zhang. We don't need to worry about it!"

    But how could we not worry? There was a lot of bad news coming from the south. Feng Sixian had already attacked with thunderous force. Zhang Lexing personally took action. As a result, he was defeated in the field battle at first. The Hong Army's cannons and miniguns exploded so much that Nianzi didn't dare to get up.  Then came the news that many Weizi had been directly breached. Everyone felt that the good days of Weizi were coming to an end.

    If it hadn¡¯t been for this heavy snowfall, maybe Feng Sixian would have gone straight to Zhiheji, but Naozi could no longer see any way out.

    Liquor is now the most popular product in Pheasant River Market. Thinking of the storm-like guns and artillery in Feng Sixian's team, Naozi feels a lot more fearful. Now hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in the quagmire of Pheasant River Market.  The Taiping Army complained that Nianzi retreated too quickly, and Nianzi complained that the Taiping Army was late and missed important events, not to mention that the various banners of Nianzi blamed each other.

    Pheasant River Market, which used to be so peaceful, has now become sparkling. You must know that it is precisely because Pheasant River Market used to be the largest bandit den in the surrounding area. In the past, no one dared to cause trouble here. Miraculously, people here even stayed open at night without picking up lost items.  .

    It's great now. There are men everywhere with big guns and small guns. Sometimes women also wield knives and guns. Sparks will appear when they disagree with each other. But there is no silver, rice vat or rice in the pocket, not even the New Year's Eve.  It has become a common problem in the whole Zhiheji market that the New Year's goods cannot be prepared. Many people are already complaining that Zhang Lexing should not be meddlesome and take over tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers and their families. Now he is making trouble.  Have a bad year.

    Liu Sanniang came to Pheasant River Market in such an atmosphere. When she first arrived at Pheasant River Collection, she was even frightened by the violent scene in Pheasant River Collection. She never thought that Pheasant River Collection could accommodate  With such a large number of people, there have never been so many people in the past even when a big city was broken.

    However, this kind of chaos also made it convenient for her. The more chaotic the situation, the more comfortable she became. She didn't even need to speak, she just listened to the conversation and got a lot of accurate information from Nianzi.

    She sneaked into Zhiheji on the orders of Liu Chang and Xu Yuegui.  !  ~!
