Chapter 494: Difficult situation


    Chapter 493: Difficult situation


    The anxious battle situation in Yangzhou was reversed again because of Sun Wu alone.


    Hong Xiuquan was already ready to retreat, after all, it was obviously unrealistic to seize Yangzhou under such a situation.


    But at this moment, the Han army "accidentally" exposed a big flaw. Shi Dakai and Yang Xiuqing felt that there was a fraud and both advised Hong Xiuquan not to march rashly.


    Hong Xiuquan asked where the two of them were cheating? But the two couldn''t tell the reason, which made Hong Xiuquan hesitate.


    The huge temptation comes first, and after careful consideration, Hong Xiuquan finally decided to continue to march.


    In his opinion, there is no risk in fighting, and the risk is often proportional to the receipt of goods. Once this time it is successful, the risk is worth it.


    Under the temptation of Quanzhou, Hong Xiuquan was completely stunned and led the army across the Yangtze River stupidly, preparing to attack the Han army''s ration warehouse.


    The Han army''s troops in Jiangdong seemed to be fragmented, but in fact it was a pocket array specially arranged for Hong Xiuquan, waiting to encircle and annihilate the tens of thousands of Yangzhou Ming troops.


    Hong Xiuquan''s army had just crossed the Yangtze River and had not had time to attack the Han army''s ration depot, but the retreat was cut off by the Han army.


    Sun Wu and Sun Jian personally led the navy and attacked Hong Xiuquan''s navy camp. Tens of thousands of Ming troops were completely sealed in Jiangdong and could no longer return to Jiangbei.


    Jiangdong, Ming army camp.


    Hong Xiuquan still had fantasies about victory. Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing advised: "Lord, our navy has been wiped out. Even if the Han army blockade is broken, there is no way to return to Jiangbei. If this continues, the entire army will be wiped out."


    Hong Xiuquan didn''t expect the situation to collapse so suddenly. Now he finally understood what his master Zhang Jiao felt after the millions of troops were locked in Sizhou.


    Hong Xiuquan sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Yang, what do you think you should do?"


    Yang Xiuqing said without thinking, "The Han army wants to encircle and annihilate our army from all sides, but it is not easy to do this. Our army can defend against the danger and take advantage of this gap to ask the court for help. Now only external forces can intervene to save our army from returning to Jiangbei."


    "What?" Hong Xiuquan''s face changed suddenly and he said excitedly: "You want me to think of Zhang Sheng...that boy bowed his head? This is absolutely impossible."


    Hong Xiuquan knew Zhang Sheng''s identity, so he always thought that he was the orthodox Ming Dynasty. Now he asked him to ask Zhang Sheng for help in a humble manner, and naturally he was extremely reluctant.


    Shi Dakai also knew that Hong Xiuquan had always been unwilling to give up on the position of the emperor, so he advised: "Lord, why bother to be angry with Your Majesty at this time? Only by protecting the army will you have the chance to seek other things."


    "Yes, lord, keep the green mountains here, don''t be afraid of burning firewood!" Yang Xiuqing continued to persuade.


    Hong Xiuquan''s face immediately turned blue and red. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded slowly.

    Chen Liu, the temporary palace of the Ming Dynasty.


    After Zhang Sheng glanced at the ministers in the hall, he said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, Yangzhou Governor Hong Xiuquan is trapped in Jiangdong. What should you do now?"


    Zhang Sheng’s current situation is not good. Li Mi was defeated repeatedly in Yuzhou, and only two countries remained in the four countries of Yuzhou. Liang and Lu were occupied by Cao Yuan respectively.


    Now the territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is bordered by Yanzhou, which also threatens the safety of the Ming Dynasty.


    Just as Zhang Sheng was considering whether to send troops to retake the two counties of Yuzhou to protect the safety of Yanzhou, Hong Xiuquan was trapped in Jiangdong again.


    This is like a rain that is just a sudden rain! Once Hong Xiuquan''s entire army is wiped out, Xuzhou will be threatened by the Han army again, and the Ming Dynasty will face threats to the west.


    As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Sheng couldn''t help feeling a sudden feeling of heart force. The Ming Dynasty seemed to be a ship that could not be repaired, and no matter how hard Zhang Sheng tried to remedy it, it was still inevitable to perish.


    Hong Xiuquan, a waste, told you to retreat without retreating, but now he suffered a great loss and remembered the court. What did he treat the court as a court? Zhang Sheng couldn''t help but scold him in his heart for Hong Xiuquan.


    "Your Majesty, I believe that I should not send troops. Hong Xiuquan is arrogant and never respects Your Majesty and the court. It is better to let him die."


    Feng Yunshan was the first to stand up and make a comment, but said in his heart: Hong Xiuquan, you took my achievements and suppressed me from letting me stand out. Now is the time for me, Feng Yunshan, to ‘repay’ you.


    Guo Jia then stood up and retorted: "I don''t agree with Master Feng''s words. Once Hong Xiuquan is defeated, the two counties in Jiangbei will inevitably be out of protection, and our army will soon face the Han army in the south, so we must never refuse to save it."


    Feng Yunshan did not expect Guo Jia to help Hong Xiuquan speak, and immediately frowned and retorted: "Brother Xiaofeng, the court has not threatened the Han army in the southeast direction now, and the new army has not yet been trained. Even if he wants to save it, where will the soldiers come from?"


    When the other ministers heard this, they couldn''t help but nodded secretly. Putting aside the grievances between Feng Yunshan and Hong Xiuquan, what Feng Yunshan said was true.


    Guo Jia obviously had prepared a long time ago and said slowly: "What''s the difficulty? Although the court cannot send troops at present, it can order the Governor of Xuzhou Fang La to send troops to rescue him."


    "But will Fang La send troops?" Zhang Sheng couldn''t help asking.


    Although Fang La was quite respectful to her, her intention to separatist was also very obvious, so Zhang Sheng was not sure that Fang La would respect the order.


    "Your Majesty, once Hong Xiuquan is defeated, the first person to be affected is Fang La''s Xuzhou, so Fang La will definitely send troops to rescue him." Guo Jia said confidently.


    Although Zhang Sheng was extremely dissatisfied with Hong Xiuquan, he could still distinguish between the primary and secondary when it involved collective interests, so he said decisively: "Since that''s the case, then I''ll order Fang La to send troops and rescue Hong Xiuquan!"


    ———


    Xuzhou.


    After receiving Zhang Sheng''s imperial edict, Fang La prepared to lead the troops to rescue without thinking. After all, once Hong Xiuquan is destroyed, he is indeed the one who has the greatest impact.


    But before leaving, Fang La was changed by one person, who was still from a hundred families.


    "Mr. Zou, no, Master, Master really said that he wanted to take Fang La into Yin and Yang Family?" Fang La said excitedly.


    Fang La did not know the grudge between Zhang Jiao and the Yin-Yang family. He only knew that his master Zhang Jiao also came from the Yin-Yang family, so he also wanted to get the support of the Yin-Yang family by returning to the Yin-Yang family.


    Zhang Jiao accomplished his career because of the Yin-Yang family. If Fang La could get the support of the Yin-Yang family, would he do something great that is comparable to his master?


    As soon as he thought of this, Fang La became more determined to return to Yin and Yang family.


    There is a university school as a backer, which is much easier than a person''s struggle. The foundation of these university schools is even richer than that of aristocratic families.


    When the Yellow Turbans started their business, they swept across Kanto in a short time, but the Baijiajia has put a lot of efforts into it!
