late Qing Dynasty arrest

Liu Jintang led the cavalry of the Second Battalion of the Hunan Army back to Yan'an from Guojiaqiao on the front line. They met a little resistance along the way, and with the help of Huairou's brotherhood, the rebels in the fortresses and beacon towers along the way surrendered, and entered Yan'an City without bloodshed.Li Guolou also entered Yan'an at this time, and the two met at the foot of the desolate Yan'an city. The troops led by Cheng Kun rushed into Yan'an city to fight the fire, and roughly rescued 10,000+ catties of grain.Mu San brought the list of goods from the three warehouses outside the city, and several people got together to make a rough calculation. The Qing army lost more than half of its grain and grass, and the loss of other firearms, weapons, medicine, military uniforms and other materials was even more numerous.

Holding the list of supplies, Liu Jintang wanted to cry. These supplies were the supplies for the front-line war. Such a huge loss caused unimaginable consequences.The summer offensive will be postponed, and it is very likely that the Qing army's attack on Jinji Fortress will be delayed until next spring.

Li Guolou was also a little depressed, bowed his head and said nothing, although Battelle and Cheng Kun could not be blamed, but the rebels successfully broke through the defense line of Li Ziying, which made him hard to absolve himself of the blame.

Cheng Kun kept silent, peeping at Li Guolou's expression. He had already quietly informed Li Guolou of the cause and effect of the war. A battle had become a stain that Li Ziying could not wipe away. He took the initiative to give way to the rebels. Can't confide half a sentence.

Although Mu San made great contributions, he saved the crisis of the Qing army and saved more than 80 catties of grain and a large number of strategic materials.But he and Dawazi Yang would also be criticized by the court for breaking into the enemy's camp, so he also kept a low-key and low-key with interest, keeping silent like an invisible man. [

The government office in Yan'an City has long been reduced to ashes. They are sitting in a merchant's yard, the atmosphere is a bit dull, under the dim oil lamp, several people have their own thoughts, and they don't know what to do next?

Fan Dahui entered the room, and said solemnly, "Master Li, Gao Liansheng's body has been found, and I have sent someone to repack it in a coffin and send it back to his homeland in the future."

"Well, I got it. We'll pay homage to Gao Shoubing when Marshal Zuo arrives." Li Guolou waved his hand slightly to settle his mind. He didn't like Gao Liansheng, and the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty could be completely avoided.But people are already dead, so they have to mention it in the direction of Gao Daquan, and use Gao Liansheng's signboard to inspire those rebels who are still at large.

The battle was won with little effort, but it was actually a poor endeavour.The rebel army seems vulnerable, but this is the only way for the rebel army, and this rebel army has not yet formed combat effectiveness.In the future, the rebel army will learn lessons in battle, learn guerrilla warfare, learn to encircle and fight for reinforcements, learn raid warfare, and terrifying hand-to-hand combat.To deal with the insurgents operating in the wild, the only way to drag yourself to death is to rely on pursuit warfare.Otherwise, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and there will be great chaos in the Northwest.

The strategic layout was planned by Zuo Zongtang. In the vast area south of Yan'an, the Shuge Laohui Xiangtang is hidden. Some counties have announced uprisings. The indisputable news made everyone present terrified.

Li Guolou got up to look at the map, and sighed regretfully. He failed to encircle and wipe out the rebels, which made him fail.If Li Ziying was disabled at the cost of annihilating the rebels, can this price be borne?Li Guolou thought it over clearly, he was a friendly army, not the main force of the Chu army, so there was no reason to cause disaster.Being on the front line of Yan'an City, he will also let go of a way and not decide the outcome with a single battle.The future is long, and Lei Heng's troops will not be able to turn the sky.

Where will Bingfeng point next, it's time to test him.Huang Ding's three cavalry battalions will arrive tomorrow, and Zuo Zongtang will lead the army, and they will also rush to Yan'an the day after tomorrow.Several Qing armies are about to encircle and suppress the fleeing rebels. Zuo Zongtang will never let Lei Heng of the Gelaohui have a chance to become a leader. Lei Heng is a Han Chinese, and his proposition is to "expel the Tartars and restore China!" Let Lei Heng fly Soaring to the sky, the entire Qing Dynasty will suffer a catastrophe.

Is there any room for maneuver in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region?Li Guolou looked at the map, thinking in reverse, thinking where would the rebel Lei Heng develop?If Lei Heng was just a bandit, if he wanted to be quick, he would attack the city and conquer several counties with thousands of soldiers. Ganquan County, Fu County, and Luochuan County would definitely be ravaged by the rebels.But Lei Heng is a generation of heroes?

Li Guolou looked at the map for a long time without saying a word, and the others also stood beside the map thinking about it.Although Liu Jintang was in contact with Li Guolou for the first time, he already knew that Li Guolou was very scheming and the city was very deep.Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that the two groups of Li Ziying launched an attack on the rebels and arranged three hidden food storage points near Yan'an.Moreover, Dawazi Yang and Mu San looked up to Li Guolou and acted as if they were completely obeying Li Guolou. These two people were clearly instructed to deliberately disrupt the good situation of the elder brother's uprising.

Liu Jintang is an ambitious young man who wants to make contributions and will not miss any opportunity. He will leave Yan'an tomorrow and lead the second battalion of cavalry to continue chasing the fleeing rebels.But his self-cultivation skills were not as good as Li Guolou's, so he still asked, "Master Li, where are you going to pursue the rebels tomorrow? Or stay in the city and wait for the Zodiac Officer?"

"I'm still chasing Lei Heng. I'm going to march towards Diebu County. I'm going to block the rebel army's way of entering Sichuan at a rapid pace. I'm afraid that Lei Heng's troops will flee back to Sichuan, and I'll be in trouble." Li Guolou pointed Diebu County in the southwest direction of the map expresses the fear in my heart.

"Well, there is a reinforced battalion of our army in Lazikou, with more than [-] soldiers, so there should be no problem." Liu Jintang smiled slightly, feeling a lot more relaxed.

Li Guolou looked dignified, waved his hand and said, "Liu Zhoutong, you can't think like this. Lei Heng is afraid of rebelling in Yan'an. It is very likely that there are internal support in the garrisons in various places. Will the Sichuan army in Lazikou be invaded by elders? We can’t be sure, we still have precautions. If the Yan’an area is ruined, Sichuan must not be ruined. Now the main force of Xu Zhanbiao’s Guoyong Battalion is on the front line of Jinji Fort. Combat power, we cannot afford this responsibility."

Mu San, Liu Jintang, Cheng Kun, Fan Dahui and others all changed their expressions, and they all looked at the map in the direction of Li Guolou's finger.In a short time, Liu Jintang figured out the key point. Sichuan was the vital gate of the Qing army, where it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it happened that the main force of the Sichuan army was in Jinji Fort.If the rebels enter Sichuan, the entire Sichuan-Shaanxi region will become more corrupt, and Sichuan will become the base of the rebels. He said anxiously: "Master Li is wrong, I should rush to Lazikou overnight, and our old Hunan army will attack thousands of miles. on the line."

Fan Dahui's face was extremely ugly, and she almost wanted to scold her, isn't this taking credit?

Cheng Kun blurted out: "No way! I can leave immediately."

Mu San couldn't object clearly, so he dragged out a long voice: "Master Li."

Li Guolou smiled slightly and said, "Okay! I believe you can defend Lazikou. You have to solve the unrest in the garrison. I think there is at least one sentinel who joins the Gelaohui. It would be hard to say if there are more."

Everyone's eyes turned to one person involuntarily, and Mu San smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't rebel, and I don't know people from Lazikou."[

Liu Jintang didn't expect Li Guolou to be so magnanimous, so he cupped his fists brazenly and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Li, and ask Mr. Li to lend me two hundred horses for a while, and I will return them double in the future."

Li Guolou took a glance and said, "Liu Jintang, don't talk big, write me an IOU, and my brother will settle the score."

"Okay! I'll write." Liu Jintang also took a quick look at Li Guolou, who was younger than him. He didn't have any friendship yet, so he couldn't take advantage of Li Guolou. The cowhide that turned [-] horses into [-] horses was exposed on the spot.I heard that Xu Zhanbiao, Huang Ding, and Guo Baochang all made good friends with Li Guolou and reaped a lot of benefits. There are many opportunities. When I first met him, I felt that this person was quite generous, not a small-minded person.

Fan Dahui and Cheng Kun received the military order to prepare [-] war horses for Liu Jintang. Thinking about why Li Guolou gave up a great achievement, he felt a little unbelievable. Li Guolou is the kind of guy who wants to get involved everywhere. , Why did you suddenly change your temper?

Cheng Kun muttered bad things about Li Guolou, and Fan Dahui said solemnly: "Cheng Kun, don't be discouraged, I think Master Li doesn't want to take the credit for himself, and Liu Jintang can't save face by making a trip for nothing, so sell it to Xiang Army, we will see each other later. I can only guess what Master Li is thinking. We will compress the territory of the rebel army and catch some small fish to show our merits in front of Marshal Zuo. Everyone will share the credit. Our Master Li is still young, so there is no rush. "

"Hey, I can only think about it this way. Master Li is a legacy policy. Lei Heng led a large group of rebels to advance south on purpose, and they will definitely turn west. This time it is cheaper for Liu Jintang. Zuo Zongtang is coming soon, we can earn money If you don’t get cheap, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs.” Cheng Kun didn’t dare to mess around this time, the Qing army strictly enforced military discipline, treated the people of Yan’an kindly, and gave preferential treatment to the prisoners.

"Hey, the great god is like this. He can't tolerate sand in his eyes. How can this kind of person know the suffering at the bottom. It's our Master Li who is open-minded, duplicity, and good at using tricks." Fan Dahui admired Li Guolou completely. Li Ziying made the most contribution to occupying Yan'an City for the first time. He saved tens of thousands of Qing troops in Guojiaqiao. Will crash across the board.

Cheng Kun laughed and said, "Master Fan, it's not a good thing to say what you say, you used the wrong word."

Fan Dahui said with a smile: "It's okay, our Master Li likes someone to hurt him, and he won't mind my evaluation of him."

Cheng Kun and Fan Dahui chatted and laughed happily, and soon prepared the 500 war horses. Fan Dahui handed over the 200 war horses to Liu Jintang, and watched the old Hunan army with more than [-] cavalry, one man with two horses, and even pack horses to carry weapons and medicines , There are more than [-] long husbands in the team, they are indeed strong and strong, and everyone looks like a jerk, as if they are mocking his figure.

Fan Dahui said quite seriously: "Liu Zhoutong, please see clearly, these two hundred war horses are all first-class good horses, don't give me back bad horses and draft horses then."

Liu Jintang clasped his fists in salute, laughed and said, "Don't worry, Master Fan, I will definitely give you back every horse."

Amidst the laughter, the old Hunan Army troops marched away, Fan Dahui shook his head, turned around and returned to his command, and tried to reason with Qiu Ba, but it didn't make sense.Fortunately, Li Guolou has a big official hat and power is in the hands of the people. Liu Jintang dare not blackmail Li Guolou's [-] war horses.IOUs are used to cover the fart, and he still has several IOUs from Xu Zhanbiao and Guo Baochang in his hand. He has become Li Guolou's friend, and the IOUs can only be used as paper to cover his ass.
