Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1475 Xiuer is really beautiful

Chapter 1473: Xiuer is really beautiful

Liu Xiu is a person who can take things and let them go. Since he knows that something cannot be done, he will not be reckless until death.

So, with the war situation in full advantage, Liu Xiu still sent Kuai Liang as an envoy to take the initiative to negotiate with Hong Xiuquan.

Liu Xiu expressed to Hong Xiuquan that he was willing to lead the army to withdraw from Jiaozhou and compensate the Taiping Army for certain losses. However, he only asked that the two families stop fighting and make peace, so that the Chu army could return to Jingnan as soon as possible.

A proud person like Liu Xiu negotiated with such a low profile, which shows that he was very sincere in this peace negotiation.

Hong Xiuquan was also extremely moved by this and agreed without much thought. After all, he was really frightened by Liu Xiu.

But not long before the armistice agreement was signed, Hong Xiuquan's old habit of being suspicious relapsed, and he began to be timid again.

In Hong Xiuquan's view, Liu Xiu was too powerful. He only dispatched one-third of his troops and horses, and it was difficult for his army of 100,000 to resist. If he dispatched 100,000 Chu troops, how could he resist?

This time, pressure from three other princes forced Liu Xiu to seek peace. None of these princes were Hong Xiuquan's allies, and they would only help Hong Xiuquan incidentally.

If Liu Xiu calls again next time, he will definitely be more prepared. Will he be able to survive by then?

At this thought, Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but have an evil thought in his heart. He wanted to solve the Chu army's threat to Jiaozhou once and for all, and live his leisurely and comfortable life in peace, so he couldn't help but have the desire to leave Liu Xiu behind completely. idea.

As long as the Chu army in Jiaozhou cannot return, Jingnan will probably be annexed by the three major princes. Liu Xiu's power will be completely eliminated, and naturally he will no longer be able to pay attention to Jiaozhou. This can be said to be done once and for all.

 As for after Jingnan is destroyed, will another tiger be raised? Hong Xiuquan was not worried at all.

 After the three major princes annexed Jingnan, under mutual checks and balances, they would definitely not be able to take care of Jiaozhou in a short period of time, and Hong Xiuquan would be safer by then.

I have to say that Hong Xiuquan’s idea was extremely correct, and he followed this idea to start his journey of seeking death.

Hong Xiuquan pretended to order the army to let Liu Xiu leave, to confuse Liu Xiu, who was eager to return home, but secretly gave Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai orders to set up an ambush on Liu Xiu's return journey and annihilate the Chu army in one fell swoop.

In order to make Liu Xiu believe that he was not playing tricks, Hong Xiuquan used his best acting skills in his life and tried his best to portray an image of someone who was afraid of being beaten and couldn't wait for peace talks, just to confuse and paralyze Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was also forced hard by the three-way alliance of princes. He was eager to return home and saw that Hong Xiuquan was so cooperative. Although he also considered that he might be acting, he always felt that this possibility was not high. After all, how could Hong Xiuquan be possible? Is there such a city? So the armistice agreement was signed without much thought.

After the armistice agreement was signed, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army opened the checkpoint to allow the Chu army to withdraw northward. The Chu army withdrew all its troops in Yulin County and returned Yulin County, which was finally captured, to the Taiping Army.

The handover work of both parties went extremely smoothly, which made Liu Xiu even more relieved. But what he never expected was that just when the Chu army was about to leave Jiaozhou, Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai blocked Chu's army on the left and right. The army's retreat.

Things have come to this point, how could Liu Xiu still not understand? He did not expect that one day he would be fooled by Hong Xiuquan. He underestimated Hong Xiuquan after losing his ambition, and the result of his carelessness this time, The crisis of annihilation of the entire army is about to loom over the Chu army.

There are mountainous areas at the junction of Jiaozhou and Jingnan. Yang Xiuqing wanted to follow Bai Qi's example and use the terrain to completely block Liu Xiu. After depleting his morale, he could annihilate Liu Xiu's tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop.

Yang Xiuqing’s strategy is also okay, but unfortunately, he is not Bai Qi, and Liu Xiu is not Yang Lin.

Under Liu Xiu's calm command, the Chu army fleeing north took every opportunity to avoid the Taiping Army's ambush circle, and finally forced Yang Xiuqing to use his last trump card, and it was this last trump card that completely destroyed the Taiping Army. . After an exhausting battle, Liu Xiu's army was trapped in a canyon under the joint siege of Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai.

 It was a clear day and there were many vegetation in the valley, which was the most suitable place for a fire attack. If the fire were to burn down, the entire Chu army would definitely be annihilated.

Yang Xiuqing did use the fire attack, but what he didn't expect was that after he put down the fire, the gods were not kind and suddenly a heavy rain fell. Not only did the fire go out, but the heavy rain also caused Mudslides and landslides caused a large number of casualties to the Taiping troops who were ambushing between the two mountains.

Liu Xiu was already in despair, but he never expected that he would survive from a desperate situation. Even God was helping him.

Of course, Liu Xiu couldn't let go of this God-given opportunity. Taking advantage of the moral turmoil of the Taiping Army, Liu Xiu immediately led his frustrated and angry army to attack the main force of the Taiping Army during the heavy rain, and defeated 80,000 Taiping Army in one battle. , and chased for more than a hundred miles before stopping the pursuit.

I have to say that Liu Xiu's operation was really brilliant. He used his "mandate of destiny" at the most critical moment, not only turning danger into safety, but also directly turning defeat into victory.

Of course, Liu Xiu himself was not happy about this. His instinct to win was somewhat inexplicable, and Hong Xiuquan's loss was also extremely inexplicable.

After this great defeat, seven out of ten of the main forces of the Taiping Army were lost, and rumors spread among the people that the reason for the defeat was God's punishment of Hong Xiuquan.

After Liu Xiu's victory, the Taiping Army lost most of its main force and was no longer able to resist the Chu army's attack. Liu Xiu took only half a month to capture Yulin County and Cangwu County one after another. A total of two counties and 23 counties.

Liu Xiu, who had captured two counties in a row, did not take advantage of the opportunity to unify Jiaozhou. Instead, he ordered Feng Yi from Jingnan to come to Jiaozhou to take charge, while he led most of his troops back to Jingnan.

Liu Xiu did this for no other reason than the 80,000 Jingzhou Qin Army was already preparing to cross the Yangtze River. If he did not return to Jingnan, the Qin Army would really have to cross the Yangtze River.

Liu Xiu knew very well that the difficulty in occupying Jiaozhou did not lie with Hong Xiuquan, but with the intervention of external princes. Otherwise, Hong Xiuquan would have been destroyed by himself long ago.

The Taiping Army was severely damaged by Liu Xiu in the first battle. Hong Xiuquan lost most of his main army and would not be able to replace it for a while. Moreover, he lost two counties and 23 counties, and could not support such a large army.

In Liu Xiu's eyes, Hong Xiuquan has lost the qualification to compete with him. As long as Jingnan is stabilized, he can be dealt with at any time.

Liu Xiu had already thought about it. As long as he did not overly provoke the major princes, they would not fight him so hard. After the allied forces of the princes retreated, he could slowly plan for it and completely occupy Jiaozhou bit by bit.

Although Liu Xiu took away the main force of Jiaozhou, Feng Yi left behind 15,000 troops and 30,000 surrender troops. Feng Yi had enough troops to protect the two counties of Jiaozhou.

 Qin Hao saw that Liu Xiu did not continue to attack Jiaozhou, but retreated when he saw the opportunity, and did not force Liu Xiu too much. After all, the center of the Qin army was in Hebei, not Jiangnan.

If Yue Fei really attacks the Yangtze River, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction. Losing troops and generals will be just a trivial matter. If the Qin army falls into the quagmire in the south of the Yangtze River and delays the plan to unify Hebei, then the gains will really outweigh the losses.
