Chapter 1642 Five ways to attack Qin (Part 1)
Chapter 1640: Five ways to attack Qin (Part 1)
Hearing Chong Heihu''s words, Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said with disrespect, "No need, I will come here in person, and no one of you is allowed to follow me."
"But…"
"This is a military order."
After saying that, Liu Xiu did not respond to everyone, so he rode his horse and drove away, dismounted in front of Hong Xiu, and helped him up.
Hong Xiuquan looked at Liu Xiu with a look of shock. The generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were also surprised. Obviously, they didn''t expect that Liu Xiu was so brave that he would come here alone without the guards.
"Duke Hong, if you surrender sincerely, Xiu''s promise will definitely agree."
Liu Xiu looked at Hong Xiuquan and said sincerely: "If you are still unwilling to accept it, you can kill Liu Xiu now."
Although Hong Xiuquan was trapped in self-denial and was full of despair about the future situation, it was naturally impossible for Liu Xiu to say that there was no resentment. So when he saw Liu Xiu coming to his door alone, he couldn''t help but have a different thought in his heart.
Just when Hong Xiuquan was malicious, he heard Liu Xiu''s words and was immediately scared and sweated. He quickly knelt down again and said, "I dare not, Hong Xiuquan sincerely asked for surrender, and he had no other intentions. I would like to ask the King of Chu to understand."
Hearing Hong Xiuquan say this, Liu Xiu immediately smiled, but Shi Dakai behind Hong Xiuquan was anxious.
"God, think twice..."
"shut up."
Hong Xiuquan''s sudden shouting not only calmed down some generals who were unwilling to surrender, but also Shi Dakai who was preparing to attack.
Hong Xiuquan looked at everyone with a warning, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident. He really hoped that these old brothers could start and end well, rather than die in a bad life or suddenly died because of irrationality.
Hong Xiuquan now understands everything. Liu Xiu must be testing himself. He knows everything he thinks. Since he dares to come alone, he will definitely be sure to escape unstoppable.
"well…"
After sighing in his heart, Hong Xiuquan stopped thinking about anything else and shouted again: "Please take the seal of the King of Chu."
Seeing that Hong Xiuquan was not playing tricks, the Taiping generals were resentful but were still content. Liu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Naturally, he would not take risks with his life, but he really did not want the surrender to become a war.
Liu Xiu smiled brightly, took over the Heavenly King Seal from Hong Xiuquan''s hand and the Tiger Talisman of the Taiping Army, and said seriously: "Don''t worry, Mr. Hong, Xiu must treat the Taiping Army well."
"Thank you for repaying your grievances with kindness."
Hong Xiuquan expressed his gratitude again, while Liu Xiu shouted directly: "The whole army entered the city."
With Liu Xiu''s order, tens of thousands of Chu troops entered Jiaozhi, and the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officially accepted everything that originally belonged to the Taiping Army.
At this point, after the split from the Yellow Turbans, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had been active for more than ten years, was finally completely destroyed by Liu Xiu.
In fact, even if Hong Xiuquan does not surrender, Liu Xiu can still eliminate Hong Xiuquan at most six months.
Liu Xiu almost occupied most of the seven counties and 57 counties in Jiaozhou. Hong Xiuquan could only hide in Jiaozhi City and survive, entrusting all his hopes to the rescue of Sun Jian of the Eastern Wu, but Sun Jian could only save for a while rather than a lifetime, so it was only a matter of time before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed.
Of course, if Hong Xiuquan really resists stubbornly, even if Liu Xiu can win in the end, he will suffer greater losses, rather than losing tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people in vain like now, and may miss greater opportunities.
Liu Xiu also received the edict from Liu Ji''s attack on the Qin army not long ago. If Hong Xiuquan continued to be dragged in Jiaozhou, he would not be able to fully participate in the discussion of Qin affairs.
Qin and Chu have always been incompatible. Now they have finally had the opportunity to attack Qin Hao. Liu Xiu would rather give up some interests than miss this opportunity.
"Everyone, Wang Mang suffered a crushing defeat and Li Jing won a complete victory. Now Qingzhou is certain, and Hebei is in danger."
Liu Xiu''s eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he said resolutely: "You must never wait for Qin Hao to occupy Hebei, so I decided to respond to the call of King Shu and send troops to attack Qin." The generals of the Chu army were also extremely frustrated by Yue Fei, and they retreated from Nanjun to the poor Jingnan. Now that they heard that Liu Xiu was going to take the initiative to counterattack the Qin army, they all seemed to be injected with chicken blood, so naturally there was no reason to object.
"Lord, it is inevitable to send troops to attack Qin, but how should we fight this battle? We need to take a closer look." Deng Yu said.
"oh?"
Liu Xiu frowned slightly and asked, "How to find out the method in detail?"
"For example, how many soldiers are dispatched? Which route are they responsible for attacking?"
"The Qin army is much stronger than the Wu army''s Taiping army. If you want to ensure victory, you must dispatch at least 150,000 troops. As for which route to attack?"
After pondering for a while, Liu Xiu said decisively: "Of course it''s Nanjun, which is the territory of our Chu State. Now that it''s taken back, Liu Ji has nothing to say."
“Wrong, big mistake.”
Deng Yu said three typos in a row, shook his head and asked, "The Taiping surrendered army has not yet returned to his heart, the Eastern Wu army has not yet retreated, and the Nine True Soldiers have not yet surrendered. How can we mobilize 150,000 troops to attack Qin?
Now that Jiaozhou is just a preliminary decision, it is time to be in trouble. If all the troops are sent out to fight, it is inevitable that there will be no turmoil in Jiaozhou, which has just been obtained? ”
Liu Xiu frowned even more when he heard this. He naturally knew what Deng Yu said, but in his opinion, these were not a big problem.
"The situation in Jiaozhou has become a foregone conclusion. Sun Jian is not a short-sighted person. Hong Xiu has surrendered. He will retreat soon. As for Shi Yi?"
A trace of contempt flashed in Liu Xiu''s eyes and he smiled faintly: "He is just an incompetent person. No matter who leads the troops, he will only send more than 10,000 elite troops to mobilize more than a month to wipe out the two counties of Jiuzhen Rinan."
"What about the Taiping surrendered army?"
"Forehead…"
Liu Xiu was speechless. Of course, he knew that although the Taiping Army surrendered, there were hidden dangers within. If the Jiaozhou defenders were empty, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Taiping Surrendered Army would not rebel.
In general, Liu Xiu does not lack anything now, but he only lacks time. Only with enough time can he transform what he already has into strength.
"How much force does the military advisor think it should be used?"
“Maximum 50,000.”
"What can 50,000 do?"
"Capture Jiangxia."
Hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned and immediately understood what Deng Yu meant.
"This time in the attack on Qin, Shu and Tang are the main force. Our army only needs to assist from the side and then take the opportunity to seize the benefits.
Jingbei Jiangling and Xiangyang and other important military cities must be the key to the competition between Qin and Shu.
Our army dispatched few troops, and even if we could capture them, we might not be able to defend them. Therefore, there is no need to steal these important lands. Instead, we will take the opportunity to eliminate Huang Zu and occupy Jiangxia''s important land.
Once Jiangxia is in hand, our army can threaten the Eastern Wu from three directions: Jiangxia, Changsha and South China Sea. At that time, we can attack and retreat or defend, and we will be innate and invincible. ”
Liu Xiu''s eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed, "I''m pretty good at it, just do it."
