4864 Three-way Army

Yixian County is just a telegraph machine. The telegrams that have been sent to the whole country have to be sent one by one. It is not that ordinary people send telegrams. It is worth a lot of money, so the number of rebellion announcements is certainly indispensable.

It took half an hour to send a telegram, and it was still ticking until it was dark in the evening.

And in the afternoon, the army had already set off, and the 140,000 troops began to approach the north along the third route!

There was no railway in Yixian County. The army set out and walked eastward. After walking dozens of miles, one of them began to go north along the edge of the foothills, and the destination went straight to Fangshan!

The second army attacked Dingxing fiercely, and this is the place where the railway passes through. The army must divide part of it to defend here to resist the defenders that might go north of Baoding Prefecture.

The rest continue to go north along the railway!

After passing through Dingxing, the third army advanced to the Baigou River area of ​​Xincheng, and then went north to conquer Gu'an City. Then, they quickly penetrated to the north of Zhuozhou to find an opportunity to attack Liangxiang.

All plans were aimed at the new army camp of Emperor Tongzhi of Zhuozhou, with three armies facing each other, and the left and right wings were attacking Fangshan and Liangxiang to surround Prince Dun's retreat.

At this moment, the information shows that Prince Dun of Zhuozhou had just gathered 30,000 vanguards, and the number of people was not enough. If he could eat this vanguard in one bite, the subsequent battle would be easier!

"Ronglu! You will take a group of 50,000 troops to Baigou River in Xincheng, and be responsible for the eastern line..."

"Natuobao, Isha... You lead a 50,000 yuan straight along the foothills of Taihang Mountain to Fangshan, responsible for the West Road..."

"I led the remaining 40,000 elite troops stationed in Dingxing and confronted Wu Ge in Zhuozhou along the railway line..."

"No!" Ronglu was shocked when he heard this. "Your Majesty, you can't stay calm. It's too dangerous. There are a total of 40,000 people. You must be wary of the north and south attack!"

"There is Prince Dun in the north, and the Baoding Prefecture in the south is Zuo Zongtang guarding the city, and there is also railway communication in the middle... Once the north and south attack and encircle His Majesty, the situation will be dangerous!"

The other generals also dissuaded them, but the Japanese Six shook their heads firmly, "No, no, no, I must be at peace, only I can guard this place!"

"The east and west sides are fighting military battles... and the middle sides are fighting wars in the political court!"

"Haha... I want to see if the fifth brother can still take ruthless measures against me. I want to see if the fifth brother who was adopted has made any progress over the years!"

"Your Majesty! Even if Prince Dun is thinking about family affection, he will not kill him... Zuo Jigao is difficult to deal with! He is a hero of Ping Changmao and the Western Regions. He has too high reputation and has extremely rich experience..." Rong Lu still refused to give up.

"Haha... high reputation? Can fight? But don't forget that he is a Han minister! His life is saved by Sushun and me! Haha, as long as he dares to attack me, it depends on whether he dares to bear this reputation of ungratefulness!"

Hiss... Ronglu suddenly remembered the old things when he was young. Zuo Zongtang was inside Luo Bingzhang's story. Because of a conflict with Manchu Fan Xie, Zuo Zongtang even beat Fan Xie up.

The Manchus were beaten up by the Han people, and Fan Xie was so angry that he wrote a book about Emperor Xianfeng. The furious Emperor Xianfeng captured Zuo Zongtang and took him to prison.

This was a landmark event in the early days of the Pingtai Heavenly Kingdom, when the power conflict between Manchu and Han officials, and the two sides fought in the court many times.

The Manchus demanded the execution of Zuo Zongtang, while the Han ministers worked together to protect them. In the end, the Han ministers took Sushun's path!

But Su Shun was a Manchen after all. Even if he had a good impression of Hanchen, it would be a taboo to directly protect Zuo Zongtang!

Finally, something surprising happened. Sushun not only protected Zuo Zongtang, but also allowed Emperor Xianfeng to issue an order to remove Fan Xie from his official position and promote Zuo Zongtang!

The government and the country were in an uproar, and many people in the crowd didn’t know what the reason was, and Ronglu didn’t know it back then!

In fact, it is not the first time Sushun has protected the Han minister. The bannerman, Sushun, has a strange temper and is born to dislike the dissatisfied families in the Eight Banners.

In many occasions, he even cursed the trash of the Eight Banners! But no matter how much he scolded, he could not bear the pressure of the entire Eight Banners.

Then in the eyes of Ronglu and other melon-eating people, Sushun sacrificed his life to save Zuo Zongtang, which may be able to save his life, but that's all.

Why did he not only save his life, but also promote Zuo Zongtang? Not only did he get promoted, but he also made Fan Xie lose his official hat?

Everyone was surprised, and what they didn't expect was that after Sushun handled this matter, there was not much protest within the Eight Banners, as if so many forces were suppressed by the invisible hand!

Today, Prince Gong Yi finally solved the puzzle. At that time, the person who suppressed the anger in the Eight Banners was nothing but the Japanese Liu himself.

Among the Eight Banners nobles at that time, except for the emperor, only he had the highest reputation!

People looked at Yi and couldn't help but feel a little awe. Only then can they know how much Prince Gong has done in his life and how many things he is unknown.

"Haha... When I was flat and growing my hair, if I hadn't secretly protected these Han ministers from behind, this Han minister wouldn't have got so much power!"

"Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoquan, Li Hongzhang...Zuo Zongtang and others have not received my favor? How many impeachment memorandums have I helped them suppress and how much anger has been coordinated within the Eight Banners?"

"It's all for the Qing Dynasty. I endure humiliation for half my life! The world can be stabilized, and the Qing Dynasty has not fallen... I have made half of my contribution!"

"What can I do with four of you? I just know how to drink deer blood and find a woman... I still want to ride on my head when I gave birth to this son, and I still want to mess around in the Qing Dynasty?"

"Hahaha... The telegram should have arrived at Baoding Mansion at this moment? I asked Zuo Jigao to come and beat me, let him fight..."

At this point, the generals dared not persuade him again. Ronglu held his fists on the horse's back and saluted, "Your Majesty! Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I won't say much..."

"But you can't take 40,000 people! It's too small... We split 10,000 from both sides of the east and west, and His Majesty will bring 60,000 from the middle, and we can bring 40,000 on the side..."

"Haha, no need!" Yi? waved his hand. "Does I have only these 140,000 troops? At this moment, there are reinforcements in southern Zhili, Shandong and Henan, and there are support from reinforcements!"

"Although they are just some refugees, many ants bite the elephant to death! One hundred and eight million refugees can still suppress Zaichun's army!"

"If Zuo Jigao was crazy, I wouldn't be afraid of him! Baoding Mansion can use more than 10,000 soldiers, including 7,000 green camp soldiers and 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers in the city!"

"Those Three Thousand Flags Camp dare to fight against me? I'm afraid that if I shout a few words in front of the army, they will be able to surrender!"

"The remaining seven thousand green camps have not been trained for many years... When 30,000 to 40,000 refugees rush, they will disappear!"
