"Guo Laodao, what do you think?"

The person Lu Yi called Guo Laodao was really a Taoist priest. His surname was Guo Mingcheng. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] After the Taiping Army invaded Jiangxi, a group of defeated Qing army green battalion soldiers ran to the vicinity of Longhu Mountain to get food and slaughtered several villages under the mountain, and some villagers Running up the mountain, they were stopped by the green camp soldiers at the gate of the mountain, covered them with sacks, and then poured kerosene on it and set it on fire for fun.

Guo Cheng, who was hiding with the brothers in the mountain gate at that time, was enraged by the brutality of the Qing army. He broke free and rushed out with a kitchen knife. As a result, he killed nine Qing soldiers in a row, scaring the rest of the Qing army. panicked and fled. After committing such a big thing, the Taoist priests on Longhu Mountain were naturally afraid that the Qing army would come to take revenge on the mountain gate. Guo Cheng was also very happy, saying that one person should do the work and one person should be responsible, so he would go down the mountain and surrender to avoid implicated the teacher.

Just like that, Guo Cheng came down from Longhu Mountain. He thought of surrendering to the government, but he asked around. The Qing army in Jiangxi had been defeated by the Taiping army from Guangdong. The officials appointed by the government were either Surrender and become an official of Ming Dynasty, or the Taiping Army will raid the house and destroy the family. The old and young even help the cubs to kill them. Now this Jiangxi has a clear surname!

This is great news. Guo Cheng wanted to go back to the mountain and tell the good news to his master and fellow apprentices, but then he thought about it. He went up the mountain at the age of six and stayed on the mountain for 20 years in a flash. Of course, he learned a good skill from his master. , but before that, he had never even entered the mountain gate. Every day he was carrying water and chopping wood, learning Taoism and practicing martial arts, and his life was too boring. Wouldn't it be a waste to live like this for a lifetime?

Thinking like this, Guo Cheng decided to join the army, relying on his martial arts to find a future and live his own life. So he went to the nearest Taiping Army recruiting point to sign up to join the army. As a result, Liu Bangdong, a hundred households who came to recruit soldiers, caught him at a glance, and made him a guard directly under him, in charge of flags and orders.

Because Guo Cheng looks a little old, and when he first entered the camp, he was wearing sloppy Taoist clothes. At first glance, he looked like an old Taoist priest who appeared out of a Taoist temple. Therefore, the Taiping army generals in the camp were only twenty-six years old. Guo Cheng is called "Guo Lao Dao".

After learning about Guo Cheng's past experience carefully, Lu Yi, the Anjun envoy, ordered Guo Cheng not to be called Lao Dao, not wanting Guo Cheng to feel that being called Lao Dao was a good thing, because his master was called "Zhang Lao Dao" by the villagers at the foot of the mountain. ". Moreover, when I played Xiao Guocheng, I listened to my brothers and the others. Anyone who is called Laodao is someone who has great ability and is respected. Therefore, Guo Cheng insisted that his companions call him Guo Laodao, and Lu Yi could not laugh or cry. went.

Guo Cheng was in a daze because from childhood to adulthood, except for his brothers who washed his feet when he was a child, no one in this world has washed his feet again. But now, Lu Anshi was holding his feet, while washing, while checking whether there was any blister below.

"Envoy Lu, I can wash myself. My feet are very firm. Don't worry, I can follow the team to the end."

Guo Cheng was a little embarrassed to free his feet from Lu Yi's hands, but Lu Yi laughed, pressed his feet into the bucket again, and said while washing, "The commander said, our generals in the Taiping Army, Only by taking care of yourself first can you kill Tartars for the world. If there is a problem with your own body, you will not be able to kill no matter how many Tartars are in front of you... Don't underestimate this foot-washing, In the past, when Liu Baihu and I were fighting Tartars in Huizhou, we used hot water to scald our feet every day when we were camping, so that the soles of our feet would be much more comfortable the next day and would not blister. Pao, the pain will make you unable to walk.... We have only walked 200 miles, and we are still far from Nanjing City. If we want to go to Nanjing smoothly, there is no problem with this foot board. "

"I know this, but Luan asked you to let me wash myself."

Guo Cheng was really embarrassed to have his feet washed by a big man. Lu Yi laughed, got up from the ground, wiped the water stains on his hand, and said to Guo Cheng: "The commander said, the Han people in the world are one family, our brothers in the Taiping Army are even more close to family, and those of us who are officers are family members. At the same time, he is also an elder brother, a parent!... Do you think it is wrong for the elder brother to wash his younger brother's feet? In the future, when you accumulate merits and become an official, if you also become an envoy of the An army, you will too. I have to take care of my brothers as much as I do now, and treat them as real family members. Only when our brothers are as close as family can we advance and retreat together on the battlefield, and can we safely hand over our flanks and backs to our comrades-in-arms and brothers. Go bravely and fearlessly!"

"Han people in the world are one family..."

Guo Cheng thought for a while. Lu Yi left, but he checked the situation of other people. It wasn't until very late when everyone fell asleep that he scooped up a bucket of hot water and sat by the bonfire to burn his feet while eating the pot with pickles. The remaining pot at the bottom. The rice was a little hard, so he soaked it in boiling water so that it wouldn't be so laborious to eat.

Suddenly, there were light footsteps behind him. Lu Yi thought it was some soldier who got up at night, but when he looked back, he saw a very familiar face that he would never forget.

"Big guy!"

Lu Yi was so excited that he stood up and went to meet Zhou Shixiang. Zhou Shixiang hurriedly raised his hand and pointed at the sleeping soldiers, signaling Lu Yi not to disturb them. Lu Yi was busy sitting there and didn't dare to move. Zhou Shixiang smiled and stepped forward to look at the young officer by the light of the fire. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this man.

In the end, Zhou Shixiang's eyes fell on the bowl that the young officer was holding, and he was startled when he found that he was eating water-soaked rice. Zhou Shixiang didn't say anything, just patted the young officer on the shoulder, then turned to leave.

Lu Yi sat there dumbfounded, watching Ge Zhenjiang and Chen Qianhu disappear into the night surrounded by the commander.

......

In order to rush to Nanjing at the fastest speed, all Taiping soldiers in the Eastern Expedition were required to travel lightly. Except for necessary weapons and armor, each soldier was only allowed to carry 20 catties of grain and a bed of 6 catties of quilts, so At this moment, the more than 30,000 Taiping soldiers lying in the open space on the bank of Tunxi are all sleeping in the open air around the bonfire, and there is no tent at all. It was the end of August at this time, and the south was also cold, and there would even be dew in the early morning.

Along the way, the sound of sound of sleep made by the sleeping soldiers was everywhere. Under the gaze of the sentries and the patrolling soldiers, Zhou Shixiang and his party cautiously walked through the camp and came to the Tunxi River, which was quietly flowing. The wind by the river blew the torches held by the guards to the brink of extinction, and the hunting sound of the military flag not far away struck everyone's heart.

"This map of Nanjing City was bought by the Ministry of Military Intelligence from a former Jinyi Weibai named Wei Youqing."

"Wei Youqing?"

"According to this person, he is the distant nephew of Wei Zhongxian, the **** of the Tianqi Dynasty. When Wei Zhongxian was not down, he found a family of Jinyiwei for him. After Wei Zhongxian died, he was kicked out of Jinyiwei by the court, and later went to Jiangnan. The Qing army in Jiashen year When he went south, he happened to get this Nanjing structure map from the descendants of Wei Guogong. At that time, he felt that this map might be sold for a lot of money in the future, but no one would buy it after 16 years in his hands.” Guo Xiong said When I got here, I paused and said: "The intelligence officer of the MIIT in Jiangnan first found the descendants of Wei Guogong, only to know that this picture fell into Wei Youqing's hands, and it took several months to find out Wei Youqing's whereabouts, which cost a lot of money. I bought this picture from him."

Zhou Shixiang nodded. He didn't care how he got this map of Nanjing's fortification in the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He only cared about whether it was useful or not. He asked Guo Xiong, "Is this picture credible?"

Guo Xiong said with certainty: "The military has studied it, and combined with the Nanjing intelligence sent by the Ministry of Military Intelligence, we agree that this picture is true."

"Then where did you choose to explode from?"

"Yifengmen!"

"Yifeng Gate?" Zhou Shixiang frowned slightly, "Is that the city gate where Liang Huafeng attacked King Yanping's army?"

"That's the city gate. As shown in the picture, the Yifeng Gate is full of pure mud, which is the most suitable for digging tunnels. There is no need to worry about the danger of water ingress and collapse, and there are dense wild forests, which are not easy to be discovered by the Qing army."

Zhou Shixiang pondered for a while, and said to Guo Xiong: "You will be responsible for this matter. I don't want to blow up Nanjing City by then."

Guo Xiong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Commander, the last will be guaranteed with his life!"

"What's the use of your life, if you can't break through Nanjing City, even if you cut off my head, it won't save my 30,000 soldiers!"

Zhou Shixiang took a long breath, and marched 800 miles to seize Nanjing City. The success or failure was in one fell swoop, and the danger was no less than that of the Eastern Expedition Chaohui against the Jidu army. If it is successful, the southeast will change color; if not, the more than 30,000 Taiping troops will become a lonely army, unable to advance or retreat under the city of Nanjing, and there is no food supply, and there is a great probability that the entire army will be wiped out. When he made the decision to attack Nanjing with the whole army, Zhou Shixiang knew that this was the biggest gamble in his two lifetimes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was a bigger bet than following Suna's suggestion that day to attack Guangzhou!

Ge Yihu was a little worried and said: "Commander, the last commander thought that it would not be difficult to capture Nanjing, but such a long and hurried march is unprecedented for our army. There will be many, even in the best case scenario, there will be less than 20,000 people. At that time, people will be exhausted and their physical strength will reach the limit. If they have the strength to attack the city, they will explode the city of Nanjing, and there are tens of thousands of Qing troops in the city. To stop their counterattacks, this battle is too risky."

Ge Yi mentioned that this problem is also the most worrying thing for the military and the towns. From Huizhou Prefecture, through Ningguo and Taiping, take the trail to Gaochun and Lishui, and finally go to the west of Nanjing. This distance is at least 800 miles. Judging from the quality of the recruits, there are probably less than 20,000 people who can successfully reach the city. However, the 20,000-strong expedition and the tens of thousands of Qing troops who were waiting for work had the big killer of demolition, and the generals were still not optimistic about winning the city of Nanjing. After all, Nanjing is not an empty city, but there is a prince of Tartar in it!

"The Qing army in Nanjing, I have put bait on them. The bait is very fragrant. I am not afraid that Yue Le will not bite the hook. As for the problem you mentioned, I have just thought of how to solve it." Speaking of this, Zhou Shixiang raised his eyes Glancing at the night sky, he said lightly: "Pass the command, take Nanjing, and the city will not be blocked." (To be continued.)
