Sorry, the update was delayed because it overturned the strategy of entering the Yunnan King of Dian, because it did not consider the complexity of the terrain and roads in Yunnan and Guizhou at the beginning. After being reminded by a friend, I realized that the strategy was a bit whimsical and could not be realized unless I opened my golden fingers. My friend gave a perfect strategy for the bones. If this strategy was implemented, the Qing army in the southwest would be like a bird in a cage, and sighed to the north.

Also, please rest assured, Gutou said that he would definitely do it if he had a guaranteed 2 updates every day. He would update it any later.

"Please lead us to the King of Dian!"

As soon as Zhou Shixiang returned to Guilin, the generals above the 9th town, including Guo Dengdi, the Marquis of Weiyuan who had been waiting for many days, Li Guangbo, Li Guangbo of Qingfeng, Zhou Jintang of Zhangping, Zhou Tengfeng of Haibei Road, Shi Shangyi of Weiding, and other generals above the voyage school came to ask for an immediate entry into the King of Yunnan.

Zhao Sihai, Tieyi, Su Na, Zhao Ziqiang, Qi Hao, Shao Chengguo, Su Rile, Huang Sicheng, Hu Mingyi, Li Guoan, Yu Shizhong, Eduo and other senior generals of the Taiping Army's direct town also gathered together, and their eyes looked at Zhou Shixiang were different.

All the generals of the Ninth Town were all the Ming army who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong, and they also actively responded to Zhou Shixiang's call to serve the king, so the enthusiasm for serving the king was not weaker than that of any Taiping Army. However, Zhou Shixiang led the Taiping Army to capture Guangxi like a destruction, but suddenly stopped moving forward in Guilin. This made the generals of the Ninth Town all doubtful. I wonder why Zhou Shixiang suddenly stopped. It is important to know that the King of Jin in Yunnan was alone in resistance to hundreds of thousands of Qing troops. The Holy Lord was in danger. Rescuing the Lord was like putting out a fire, so how could he withstand any delay!

Zhou Shixiang left the Zijing Mountains, and they could not find anyone, so they could only wait patiently. Now that Zhou Shixiang is back, they naturally have to come and ask Xingping Bo what his idea was. Of course, they dare not question them, but no one can make any mistakes in asking for the order to enter the King of Dian immediately.

Among the generals of several towns, Tieyi was a miner. If there were no Taiping Army and Zhou Shixiang, he would have died in the Deqing Prison, so he always regarded Zhou Shixiang as his life-saving benefactor. Like Ge Yi in the first town and Jiang He in the third town, basically, Zhou Shixiang would fight wherever he said he would fight; Zhou Shixiang would kill whoever he said he would kill. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang did not order the towns to immediately serve the king, so he naturally had no enthusiasm for serving the king. In his opinion, it would be better to establish a new king than to save the emperor who was unfairly rewarded and punished, or a scholar would wear a yellow robe.

Qi Hao was born in the Western Army. Although the King of Jin was inevitably a little unfair to him, he still tended to enter Yunnan to fight side by side with the King of Jin. But because he was born in the Western Army, he was inconvenient to ask for battle like Guo Dengdi, the Marquis of Weiyuan.

The two generals, Suna and Zhao Ziqiang, were from Manzhou and Green Camp. They had one thing in common, that is, bloodthirsty. The former did a lot of slaughtering villages in Chaozhou, while the latter did several slaughtering cities. But the two were unquestionable for Zhou Shixiang, because they had no way out. Only the stronger the Taiping Army could they survive, otherwise, they would die very ugly. The origin of the second generals determined that they were very negative about the Ming emperor of the Yongli period entering Yunnan. If Zhou Shixiang had not insisted on fighting for the King of the West, they would not have looked at Yunnan at all.

Huang Sicheng, Hu Mingyi, and Li Guoan, the craftsman who came from the green camp, had a very pissistic attitude towards serving the king, because they didn't know if they should be serving the king, and what was the meaning of serving the king.

They only knew one thing, that is, when Marshal Zhou spoke, they had to listen, otherwise they would not be able to hang out in the Taiping Army.

Compared with the attitudes of the people from the Green Camp that the King of Duty can be avoided when they enter Yunnan, Surile, Edu and others were generally very eager and anxious about Duty and the people in the Ninth Town. To put it bluntly, it is related to their own interests. If the Ming Dynasty really perished, could the Taiping Army withstand the Qing court that could free up? The Taiping Army could not bear it, and they would all be over. Therefore, Yunnan must go, and the war must be fought, and they must win. Otherwise, they would not have good fruit.

Shao Chengguo is quite like a lone hero, with his hands behind his back and saying nothing, and no one knows his true thoughts. Judging from his appearance, he is comparable to Qi Hao who is silent on the side. Yu Shizhong is a descendant of the Qi family army and is naturally extremely loyal to the Ming Emperor. But he is now a member of the Taiping Army. The Taiping Army gave him a place to stay, and Zhou Shixiang gave him the opportunity to show his skills. Therefore, in public and private, he is inconvenient to "force" Zhou Shixiang to send troops like the generals in the ninth town.

Because Zhou Tengfeng, Haibei Province was too concerned about the survival of the court, he was in a hurry and said that Zhou Shixiang was in Guilin and the soldiers did not advance, and wanted to sit and watch the court's annihilation. As soon as this statement came out, Guo Dengdi, the Marquis of Weiyuan, immediately panicked and quickly pulled Zhou Tengfeng, indicating that he would not speak nonsense to avoid annoyance to Zhou Shixiang. Zhou Jintang, the Bo Zhangping, also felt that Zhou Tengfeng had passed a little, and stopped them one after another, worried that Zhou Shixiang would take advantage of the issue and take the opportunity to take Zhou Tengfeng and completely swallow his troops.

Zhou Shixiang was not angry, but did not tell the generals when they would send troops. Instead, he signaled to General Zhao Sihai, the military officer, to inform the generals of the latest information sent by the spies sent to Guizhou by General Zhao Sihai.

"According to the probe, Chen Weixin, the puppet Guangxi Governor, retreated to Duan, the commander of the Qing army, sought help from Duani. Duani had ordered the Guangxi admiral Guoan to lead the troops back to block our army into Guizhou. According to the surrendered official, Zhang Zichang, the surrendered official, Guangxi left governor, only more than 10,000 troops were brought before Guoan entered Guizhou, but now his troops may have about 30,000 to 40,000 people. The extra troops were all Guizhou. Yunnan's surrendered troops had roughly the same combat power as ordinary green camps."

After saying this news, Zhao Sihai took out another piece of information and started to say to the generals: "In addition to ordering the line Guoan to return to the army to intercept our army, Duni ordered the pseudo-pac county prince Luo Keyi to lead more than 4,000 troops back to Guiyang. He found that this group of people had to fight against the white flag and blue flag. If our army wanted to enter the king of Yunnan, we could only take Guizhou, that is, the route that line Guoan took on that day, and then went to Nandanzhou. The prefecture went north to Guizhou, and then passed Fengning, Dushan to Duyun. Then he followed the official road to Guiyang, and then went south to Yunnan from Guiyang."

As he said that, Zhao Sihai turned around and walked behind Zhou Shixiang, pointed to the huge southwest map drawn by the military staff and said to everyone: "If we don't take this road, then our army can only go southwest Guangxi into Yunnan, and the southwest Guangxi is mostly steep mountains and ridges, and there is no road to go, and it is impossible for the army to pass. If we really want to take this road, all the equipment must be given up, and the cannon town cannot pass, and it is even more difficult to transport food and grass, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not worth the loss. Therefore, the military believes that this road is not advisable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tengfeng from Haibei Road said: "You can't walk southwest of Guizhou, so you can walk into Guizhou. If you can walk in Guoan, you can walk in the line, and we can still walk."

Zhao Sihai shook his head and said, "It is different from the past. After the Qing army in Guizhou learned that our army occupied Guangxi, it began to block the official road into Guizhou, and set up more cities and villages on the important roads. On that day, Guoan was also very difficult to take this road. The reason why he was able to reach Guiyang smoothly was that the Ming army in Guizhou had no intention of fighting and had no resistance at all because Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so it allowed Guoan to pass through the line smoothly. Now we are facing not only the difficulty of this road, but also the layers of obstacles from the Qing army, so it is also very difficult to take this road."

Zhou Tengfeng heard a little unresolved and said angrily: "No matter how difficult it is, we still have to serve the king. Do we ignore the safety of the saint because of the difficulties? If this is true, then why would Xingping Bo call on us to serve the king that day?"

Zhao Sihai smiled, not caring about Zhou Tengfeng's anger. He said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, the general did not say that he would not be able to serve the king. But there are many ways to serve the king, and it may not be necessary to enter Yunnan to serve the king."

"What does the Grand Marshal mean?"

Marquis of Weiyuan Guo Dengdi turned his head to look at Zhou Shixiang who was standing there. The eyes of the generals also moved away from the map.

Zhou Shixiang still did not speak, but Zhao Sihai said to him: "The general's meaning is that the fifth town is feinted from Nandan to advance westward, causing our army to enter Guizhou in a large-scale manner, luring Guoan from Guizhou into Guangxi, let him go deep into Liuzhou, and then annihilated the line headquarters in Liuzhou. If the line headquarters reaches Liuzhou, the navy will cooperate with Shao Jiugong's third town to defend, and from the tenth town and the eleventh town to be transferred to the third town to command, and the fifth town is on standby near Liuzhou. The battle in Liuzhou is unified and responsible for Shao Jiugong."

The generals were discussing the feasibility of this plan. Zhao Ziqiang, the fifth town general, suddenly spoke: "Liuzhou starts fighting, where will we go?"

"Let's go to Hunan."

The person who spoke was not Zhao Sihai, but Zhou Shixiang who had not spoken for a long time. (To be continued.)
