The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 252 Return after a big defeat, go south for inspection

For Yue Fei's request, Chen Youliang still chose to refuse.

After all, if once the armed forces are withdrawn to the east of Ganshui.

That means that Chen Youliang will never have the chance to get involved in Jingzhou again.

…………

However, Yue Fei seemed to have expected this.

Before Chen Youliang could reply, he received a message that all the territory west of the Ganshui River in Yuzhang had been lost.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Jingzhou army is preparing to invade Yichun, Nankang and other counties at any time.

For a while, Chen Youliang finally felt the seriousness of the situation.

He knew that if he did not reply, his army would be completely blocked in Yuzhang City.

Although he knew that Yue Fei was forcing him to commit the crime, Chen Youliang had no way to resist.

…………

One day later, Chen Youliang agreed to Yue Fei's request and withdrew all troops from Yuzhang to the east of Ganshui River.

So far, with the retreat of Chen Youliang, the plan of the Taiping Army to invade the north was aborted.

Moreover, the Jingzhou Army can be said to have played a leading role in this great battle.

If the Jingzhou Army hadn't wiped out the Taiping Army under Southern King Feng Yunshan, how could the main force of the Taiping Army, which was in full swing, retreat?

In the end, he attacked Chen Youliang's troops with the momentum of a great victory, and agreed to fight and win!
With their own efforts, they also contributed to the tranquility of the south of the Yangtze River. The Jingzhou Army can be said to have contributed a lot.

Today, almost all the people in the south of the Yangtze River have remembered Gao Qi's illustrious reputation.

Because it was this man's strength that made Jiangnan quell the war so quickly and lead a stable life.

Although Gao Qi has long been famous all over the world, it is mainly spread most widely in the north.

But the people in the south don't know the brutal nature of the nomads outside the Great Wall because of the favorable location.

Therefore, relatively little is known about Gao Qi's heroic deeds.

…………

Wu Jun
According to the intelligence, due to the change of the situation, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was worried about making mistakes in Lingnan, so he led the army to withdraw.

And Shi Dakai led an army to garrison Yuhang City, where he confronted the Sui army.

Knowing everything, Lai Huer immediately led his army to Yuhang without hesitation, vowing to regain Yuhang and other places in one fell swoop.

Due to the strength of the troops, Shi Dakai chose to avoid the edge temporarily and stick to the county.

Therefore, along the way, the Sui army was invincible, just watch the wind!
It's just that a good form is not long-lasting, and this is the reason why it is too rigid and easy to break.

It is only said that when the Sui army attacked the territory of Hangzhou, they found that the Taiping army had already ambushed all around.

It is estimated that there are almost hundreds of thousands of peace soldiers.

No need to think too much, coming to the nursery department has already been tricked.

The main force of the Taiping Army retreating to the south is just a cover, the real purpose is to attract Hu'er to pursue.

In this way, the enemy was lured to go deep, and the main force of the Sui army was wiped out in one fell swoop, reducing the pressure on the defense line in Yangzhou.

With the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Taiping Army, although the soldiers of the Lai Children's Department are elite.

But as the saying goes: A hungry tiger cannot withstand the devouring of a pack of wolves.

For a while, the Sui army suffered more and more casualties!
After a night of fierce fighting, Lai Hu'er finally broke out of the siege under the desperate protection of the general Sun Jian.

However, in this battle, the elite Sui army was almost completely lost.

Nearly [-] remnants of soldiers broke out with Lai Hu'er.

If you want to say, why Hong Xiuquan has already withdrawn his troops, and why would he still think of an ambush to protect his children.

In fact, this was Feng Yunshan's plan before committing suicide.

At that time, since Feng Yunshan knew that his army had been tricked by the Jingzhou army, he knew that the annihilation of the entire army was inevitable!

Therefore, Feng Yunshan urgently thought that the defeat of his entire army would definitely affect the battle situation of the main force.

That's why Feng Yunshan explained this plan to the guards on the side, asking him to break through with all his might and dedicate it to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

The purpose is to let it severely damage the Sui army, so as to consolidate the defense line in the south of Yangzhou.

Although the Taiping Army has defeated the Sui Army and wiped out its elite.

But for the safety of the Lingnan base camp, Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to let Shi Dakai lead the army to sit in Yuhang and play by ear!
Subsequently, Hong Xiuquan led the main force to withdraw to the south and returned to Lingnan in an emergency to prevent the Jingzhou army from raiding.

Lai Huer, who had fled in a big defeat, led his troops back to Wu County, and closed the city gate urgently.

The situation was very critical at the moment, and I was deeply afraid that the Taiping Army would take advantage of the emptiness and make a large-scale attack.

When he heard that the main force of the Taiping Army had really withdrawn to the south this time, Lai Huer was slightly relieved.

After all, now that the elite are exhausted, if the Taiping Army marches northward, it will be difficult for the Sui Army to resist.

However, Lai Hu'er did not dare to be careless in the slightest, fearing that this was another trick of the Taiping Army.

Confused the army to relax its vigilance, and then attacked suddenly.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Lai Hu'er continued to guard the city, and then sent several waves of scouts south to investigate.

In the end, after repeated confirmations, Lai Huer believed the truth of the matter.

…………

Jiangdu, Xinggong

At this time, Yang Guang had received the news that the Taiping Army in the south of the Yangtze River had been defeated to protect his children, and the Jiangxia Army had lost its elite.

After deep deliberation, regardless of the objections of the ministers in the DPRK, he resolutely decided to go south for inspection in person.

However, due to Lai Hu'er's defeat, for his own safety, Yang Guang personally summoned Jiangling Marquis Gao Qi to lead an army of guards in order to prevent any accidents.

However, unexpectedly, Gao Qi refused to accept the imperial edict.

The reason is also because he was seriously injured, so he was unable to lead the troops to escort him, and he hoped His Majesty would forgive him.

After hearing the news, Yang Guang didn't know that now Gao Qi had officially separatized one side, and he was obedient to the imperial government's decree!

However, after Lai Hu'er was defeated and the elite was exhausted, Yang Guang did not dare to force Gao Qi too much.

After all, although Gao Qi refused to accept the imperial decree, at least on the surface, he was not completely separated, and he was still a courtier of the Sui court.

In addition, Gao Qi's reason is understandable, because Gao Qi was indeed injured, this is an indisputable fact.

…………

Although there is no foreign army to escort, Yang Guang's determination to go south for inspection has not wavered.

Because Yang Guang wanted to operate the south as the base of Sui Ting Zhongxing.

It is necessary to completely control Jiangnan firmly in his hands.

But now, with Lai Huer's defeat, it is conceivable that hidden forces in various places in the south of the Yangtze River must have begun to surge undercurrents.

Therefore, Yang Guang chose to go south at this time to frighten all places in order to cause riots.

However, this is only one of the reasons.

The most important reason is that the Grand Canal that traverses the north and south has already been built.

However, due to various reasons, the river sacrifice ceremony that Yang Guang has always dreamed of has been delayed.

Therefore, Yang Guang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go south to complete the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river.

In this way, he voted his determination to value the world and help the Sui Dynasty.

…………

However, this time Yang Guang went south without much fanfare, but left Jiangdu with great fanfare.

After all, the Sui Court is already full of smoldering fires.

It is hard to guarantee that there will not be hidden anti-thief forces in various places after hearing the news.

Ambush yourself on the way to intercept and kill yourself!

…………

However, as Yang Guang went south quietly, there must be rumors everywhere in Jiangdu City!
