Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 57 Hong Xiuquan: Your mouth is blessed, right?

Seeing this, Feng Yunshan stopped arguing with Xiao Chaogui. He turned his head to look at Hong Xiuquan and spoke.

"I hope the king will make the decision for me!"

"My subordinates are loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven. Their deaths cannot be in vain!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuquan stroked his beard and began to think.

But he didn't know what to do, so he just looked at Yang Xiuqing and waited for Yang Xiuqing to make a decision.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiuqing thought for a while and then tried to smooth things over.

"Logically speaking, Chaogui, you did the right thing."

"You can't command an army with kindness, and you can't command money with justice. You really need to make some choices under the circumstances."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chaogui couldn't help but smile.

But before he could laugh out loud, Yang Xiuqing continued.

"But it is also true that you, Chaogui, harmed Yunshan's fourth army."

The smile on Xiao Chaogui's face froze, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Yang Xiuqing continued.

"How about this, I will give some of your former troops to Yunshan as compensation."

"Yunshan, don't hold on to this matter anymore."

"What do you two brothers think?"

Yang Xiuqing’s attitude was very clear: to appease Feng Yunshan and suppress Xiao Chaogui at the same time.

Who says that Xiao Chaogui is now the most powerful figure in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

In order to balance the power within the Kingdom of Heaven, Hong, Feng and Yang are actually standing together now.

But even though they could suppress him, we were now facing a powerful enemy and it would not be a good idea to offend Xiao Chaogui to death.

Therefore, Yang Xiuqing's best option now is to try to smooth things over while weakening Xiao Chaogui.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunshan nodded in agreement.

Although he values ​​Li Yi, what he values ​​is the living Li Yi.

As we all know, dead people are worthless.

Li Yi is just Feng Yunshan's subordinate, not his biological father. It is unrealistic for Feng Yunshan to fall out with Xiao Chaogui over a dead man.

For Feng Yunshan, the best option is to use Li Yi's incident as an excuse to get some benefits from Xiao Chaogui, make up for his losses and maximize his interests.

After all, he couldn't really expect Xiao Chaogui to pay for Li Yi's life, right?

This is unrealistic!

Although Xiao Chaogui's face looked ugly and gloomy as if water could drip out of it.

But after all, he was in the wrong first, so he finally nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing nodded slightly.

"So best."

"In that case, let's discuss how to defend against the enemy!"

Having said that, the matter has been explained to Feng Yunshan and can be considered over.

No one, including Feng Yunshan, would pursue the matter further.

Hong Xiuquan was indifferent to Li Yi's affairs. Yang Xiuqing just wanted to smooth things over and maintain stability to avoid a direct conflict between Feng and Xiao. Although Xiao Chaogui felt guilty, he did not think he had done anything wrong. Feng Yunshan also just wanted to maximize his benefits.

Now that everyone's interests have been met, Li Yi is naturally no longer important.

From Li Yi's perspective, it may be frustrating and infuriating, but this is the reality.

Just at this moment, a fast horse came galloping.

"Report! Report to the Heavenly King!"

"The main force of the Qing demons from Xunzhou, the main force of the Qing demons has arrived!"

The knight on the fast horse pointed in a direction with a look of fear on his face and said.

At the end of the field of vision, there was a cloud of smoke and dust.

A large group of Qing troops appeared on the battlefield and were advancing towards the direction of the Taiping Army.

That is the main infantry force of Xiang Rong’s troops!

A huge black mass of people and horses spread out on the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The reason why Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui were still in the mood to argue just now was not because they were careless, but because the military pressure that the Qing army had previously put on them was actually limited.

Wulantai's troops were temporarily held back by Li Yi. Zhou Tianjue and Li Nengchen had not yet entered the battlefield.

Although Xiang Rong's troops had arrived at the battlefield, only the cavalry led by Xiang Rong himself had arrived, and the main force of his infantry was still on the way.

Although the cavalry led by Xiang Rong was powerful, they could only disperse the Taiping Army's rear army and female camp by taking advantage of the Taiping Army's unpreparedness.

Once they encounter the Taiping Army's main camp which has already been on alert, they will definitely not be able to charge.

However, now that Xiang Rong's main infantry force has arrived at the battlefield, that's another matter.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuquan asked in a panic.

"Xiuqing, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"The Qing demons have gathered a large number of troops just to stop our army. It seems that our army is hopeless to move eastward."

"Withdraw troops as soon as possible while the Qing monsters are unable to form a siege."

"The ones who have arrived now are most likely the vanguard of the Qing monsters. If we delay any further, I'm worried that more Qing monsters will arrive at the battlefield one after another and surround me at the mouth of the Dahuang River!"

"Then the situation will be troublesome!"

Yang Xiuqing had already realized that the situation was hopeless, and was preparing to withdraw to Jintian first, to hold out against the Qing army, and then make other plans.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuquan nodded in approval.

But at this moment, a fast horse came running again from the distance.

The knight on horseback galloped all the way to Hong Xiuquan and began to report.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the Heavenly King, traces of the Qing Yao army have been found in the west and the north..."

"Our army, our army may have been surrounded!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuquan subconsciously looked at Yang Xiuqing again.

Ok!

You are such a bad mouth!

They had just said that if they didn't retreat they would be surrounded, and then they really were surrounded.

You've got a big mouth, right?

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiuqing spoke.

"Heavenly King, the Qing Yao's encirclement will soon take shape. Now is definitely not the time to hesitate."

"Please, King, order the troops to withdraw as soon as possible!"

Hong Xiuquan took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Then, I'll do as you say!"

"Xiuqing, you must immediately start making arrangements for the breakout."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuqing immediately clasped his fists in agreement.

……

"Trash, a bunch of trash!"

"Fuck you, come on, all of you!"

Ulan Tai was riding on a horse, pulling the reins anxiously. Looking at the poor performance of his own soldiers on the front line, he felt furious.

He finally deployed his troops and surrounded a group of isolated long-haired bandits who had penetrated deep into the enemy's territory.

However, the soldiers were afraid of fighting and dared not charge forward, so they were unable to defeat this group of Taipa bandits.

The battle even reached a stalemate.

Ulan Tai was so angry!
At this moment, a deputy general named Ulantai came to his side on horseback and began to report.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the latest news is that the main forces of Xiang Rong, Li Nengchen, and Zhou Tianjue have all arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield."

"We can deploy at any time to wipe out the main force of the long-haired bandits invading the Dahuang River estuary!"

"Our army will win this battle!"

When Wulantai heard this, there was no joy on his face, but he became more anxious.

"Can not be done!"

"This can't continue like this!"

"Xiang Rong and the others have arrived. They are about to start the encirclement and annihilation of Chang Mao. I cannot miss this battle..."
