Chapter 1475 Xiu''er''s true show
Chapter 1473: Xiu''er is really showing
Liu Xiu is a person who can take it and let it go. Since he knows that things cannot be done, he will naturally not be reckless until he dies.
Therefore, when the situation was in full swing, Liu Xiu still sent Kuai Liang as an envoy to negotiate with Hong Xiuquan.
Liu Xiu told Hong Xiuquan that he was willing to lead the army to withdraw from Jiaozhou and compensate the Taiping Army for certain losses, but only asked the two families to stop their troops and let the Chu army retreat back to Jingnan as soon as possible.
A person as proud as Liu Xiu negotiated with such a low attitude, which shows that he was very sincere in this peace talk.
Hong Xiuquan was also extremely moved and agreed without thinking much. After all, he was really afraid of being beaten by Liu Xiu.
But shortly before the signing of the armistice agreement, Hong Xiuquan''s suspicious old problem broke out again and began to become timid again.
In Hong Xiuquan''s opinion, Liu Xiu was really amazing. He was unable to resist the 100,000 army of his 100,000 troops if he dispatched only one-third of his troops. If he dispatched 100,000 Chu troops, how could he resist it?
This time, the other three princes put pressure on him, which forced Liu Xiu to take the initiative to seek peace. None of these princes was an ally of Hong Xiuquan, and it was just a by-pass to help Hong Xiuquan.
If Liu Xiu calls again next time, he will definitely be more thoroughly prepared. Will he still be able to survive?
As soon as he thought of this, Hong Xiuquan couldn''t help but feel a bad thought in his heart. He wanted to solve the threat from the Chu army to Jiaozhou once and for all, and live his leisurely and comfortable life with peace of mind, so he couldn''t help but have the idea of ??leaving Liu Xiu completely.
As long as the Chu army in Jiaozhou cannot return, Jingnan will likely be annexed by the three major princes, and Liu Xiu''s power will be completely eliminated, so naturally he will not be able to pay attention to the Jiaozhou. It can be said that it will be a one-time and for all.
As for whether Jingnan will raise another tiger after it is destroyed? Hong Xiuquan was not worried at all about this.
After the three major princes annexed Jingnan, 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 is still very correct, and he also followed this idea to start his journey of dying.
Hong Xiuquan pretended to order the army to let Liu Xiu leave, and Liu Xiu was confused and was careless, but secretly ordered Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai to set up an ambush on Liu Xiu''s way back to annihilate the Chu army.
In order to make Liu Xiu believe that he was not playing tricks, Hong Xiuquan showed his best acting skills in his life and tried hard to perform an image that was afraid of being beaten and eager to negotiate, just to confuse and paralyze Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu was also forced to be cruel by the coalition of three princes. He was eager to return home and saw that Hong Xiuquan was so cooperative. Although he had considered that he might be acting, he always felt that this possibility was not great. After all, how could Hong Xiuquan be so cunning? So he signed a ceasefire agreement without thinking much.
After the armistice agreement was signed, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army released the checkpoint and allowed the Chu army to retreat north, while the Chu army withdrew all its troops in Yulin County and returned the Yulin County that he had finally captured to the Taiping Army.
The handover between the two sides was going very smoothly, which also made Liu Xiu breathe more and more relieved, but what he never expected was that just as the Chu army was about to leave Jiaozhou, Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai blocked the Chu army''s retreat from left and right.
Things have come to this point, how could Liu Xiu not understand? He didn''t expect that he would be fooled by Hong Xiuquan. He underestimated Hong Xiuquan after losing his ambitions, and the result of his carelessness was that the crisis of annihilation of the entire army was about to be enveloped in the Chu army.
There are many mountainous areas at the junction of Jiaozhou and Jingnan. Yang Xiuqing wanted to follow Bai Qi and use the terrain to completely block Liu Xiu. After exhausting his morale, he wiped out Liu Xiu''s tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop.
Yang Xiuqing''s strategy is also fine, but unfortunately, he is not Bai Qi, and Liu Xiu is not Yang Lin.
Under Liu Xiu''s calm and composed command, the Chu army fled north took advantage of the opportunity and kept avoiding the ambush circle of the Taiping Army, which eventually forced Yang Xiuqing to use his last trump card, and it was this last trump card that completely destroyed the Taiping Army. After a mentally stubborn battle, under the joint encirclement of Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai, Liu Xiu''s army was trapped in a canyon.
The sun is bright and the air is clear, and there are many grass and trees in the valley, which is most suitable for fire attack. If this is burned, the Chu army will definitely end up being wiped out.
Yang Xiuqing did use fire to attack, but what he didn''t expect was that after he put down the fire, the weather was not good, and a heavy rain suddenly fell. Not only did it extinguish the fire, but the heavy rain also caused mudslides and landslides, which caused a large number of Taiping Army ambushing between the two mountains to be killed and injured.
Liu Xiu was already desperate, but he didn''t expect that the situation of lifelessness would be in a desperate situation. Even God was helping him.
Of course, Liu Xiu could not let go of such a good opportunity. Taking advantage of the turmoil of the Taiping Army, Liu Xiu immediately led the aggrieved and angry army under his command, and took advantage of the heavy rain to attack the main force of the Taiping Army. He defeated the 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 is a real show. He used the “destiny” at the most critical moment, not only to turn danger into safety but also to turn defeat into victory directly.
Of course, Liu Xiu himself was not indifferent to this. He intuitively won a little inexplicably, and Hong Xiuquan also lost very inexplicably.
After this great defeat, seven out of ten main forces of the Taiping Army had already lost, and it was rumored that the people were defeated everywhere was that God was punishing Hong Xiuquan.
After this big victory, Liu Xiu lost most of his main force and was no longer able to resist the attack of the Chu army. It took Liu Xiu only half a month to capture Yulin County and Cangwu County, a total of 23 counties in two counties.
Liu Xiu, who captured two counties in a row, did not take advantage of the situation to unify Jiaozhou, but instead 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 reason. The 80,000 Qin troops in Jingzhou were ready to cross the river. If he did not return to Jingnan, the Qin troops would really have to cross the Yangtze River.
Liu Xiu knew very well that the difficulty of occupying Jiaozhou was not Hong Xiuquan, but 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''s battle. Hong Xiuquan lost most of his main force and could not be replenished for a while. Moreover, he lost the land of the two counties and 23 counties, and could not afford to support so many large troops.
In Liu Xiu''s eyes, Hong Xiuquan has lost the qualification to compete with him. As long as Jingnan is stabilized, he can deal with him at any time.
Liu Xiu had already thought about it. As long as he did not over-stimulate the major princes, they would not fight with him like this. After the coalition of princes retreated, he could completely take over it and completely occupy Jiaozhou bit by bit.
Although Liu Xiu took away the main force of Jiaozhou, Feng Yi left behind a 15,000 army and 30,000 surrendered troops. Feng Yi had these troops in his hands to protect the two counties of Jiaozhou.
Qin Hao saw that Liu Xiu did not continue to attack Jiaozhou, but stopped and pulled out in time when he saw it, and did not force Liu Xiu too much. After all, the center of the Qin army lies in Hebei, not Jiangnan.
If Yue Fei really fought the Yangtze River, it would likely trigger a chain reaction. It would be a trivial matter to lose troops and generals at that time. If the Qin army was trapped in the mud pit in the south of the Yangtze River, it would delay the plan to unify Hebei, which would really be more than worth the loss.
