Liang Huafeng was defeated in the Benniu River, tens of thousands of horses were lost, and only more than 600 cavalrymen fled back to Changzhou with him.

Hearing that Liang Huafeng was defeated, the academician in Changzhou city was so frightened that his face was pale, and he could not speak fluently. After seeing Liang Huafeng, Eise Hei hugged him and cried bitterly, and said repeatedly, "What should I do now, what should I do now?"

How did Liang Huafeng know what to do? Most of his soldiers were lost. Except for a few hundred cavalry, there was not even a single defender in Changzhou city. How to defend?

As for the Taiping Army, since the victory over the Benniu River, the Taiping Army North Route Army has not stopped for a moment.

Xinyi Town set out from Liyang, Nanjing, under the command of the town general Wang Fuchen, and arrived at Yixing in two days. The officials and soldiers in Yixing City had long since expressed their intention to surrender. As soon as the Taiping Army arrived, the magistrate Hu Yongkuan, Qian Zong Wu Wenjia and others immediately opened the door and surrendered.

After appeasing the officials of Yixing and making peace with the people, Wang Fuchen led the cavalry eastward to Changzhou, occupied Zhongxi on the 24th, and the forward entered Wujin County on the 26th. Like Yixing, Wujin officials did not resist, and Kaesong surrendered. On the 27th, the Taiping Army on the North Road and the Taiping Army on the West Road joined forces at the foot of Changzhou City. More than 15,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Changzhou City, but they opened the south gate.

After besieging the three towers, Liang Huafeng knew that the Taiping army had left the South Gate not to besieged to death, but just let the defenders in the city have no intention of defending it. But at this time he has no intention to keep Changzhou. In the early morning of the 29th, the south gate of Changzhou suddenly opened. Hundreds of Qing cavalrymen surrounded Liang Huafeng, and Ese Hei fled south desperately, apparently to flee to Suzhou.

Wang Fuchen wanted to lead the cavalry to hunt him down, but Zhou Shixiang had a commanding order, saying that the poor bandits should not pursue him, and let Liang Huafeng go to Suzhou.

After Liang Huafeng and Ese Hei fled, Zhou Angui, the prefect of Changzhou, and others, together with the gentry in the city, went out of the city and offered Huang Bo to surrender. At this point, Changzhou was restored.

Zhou Shixiang asked Zhou Angui to remain the prefect of Changzhou, and ordered to issue a list to calm the people. He also strictly ordered the Taiping troops entering the city not to invade the people. He also ordered all the young men in Changzhou captured in the Benniu River to be sent away, and ordered to return to their homes. Yan Ming is the teacher of the king. The men in the family who were taken away by the Qing army even burned incense and prayed, hoping that the Great Ming Taiping Wang Shi would be able to stay in Jiangnan forever and not be like the previous Zheng army.

After Liang Huafeng and Ese Hei escaped from Changzhou, they first fled to Wuxi County. After staying for a long time, they felt unsafe and fled to Suzhou overnight. The people of Wuxi described the Qing army who escaped from Changzhou as "the northern soldiers were frightened and frightened by the wind".

In fact, Liang Huafeng is indeed like a bird with a startled bow. What made him even more flustered was that he didn't know if Guan Zhongzhong in Suzhou would admit him into the city. However, knowing that Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu were hostile to him, Liang Huafeng had to go to Suzhou because he had nowhere to go.

Arriving at the foot of Suzhou City, Ese Hei personally called the door. Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu were surprised when they got the report. After the two discussed it, they believed that the Liang Department had not many troops and would not pose a threat to Suzhou. The next step of the army is to attack Suzhou, so Liang Huafeng can be put in to defend the city. After all, there are still hundreds of cavalry in the Liang Department, and they can come in handy at critical times. Besides, the person who came to call the door was with a black forehead. If they didn't let people in, the emperor would know in the future, and they would not have any good fruit to eat.

In the past, Liang Huafeng was the enemy of life and death, but now it is the object of cooperation. The world is changing, it is impermanent. This ending was exactly as Zhou Shixiang had expected earlier. Under the pressure of the Taiping Army, Liang and Guan would definitely stay together to keep warm.

However, after Liang Huafeng was put into Suzhou City, he was worried that Guan Zhongzhong would harm himself and swallowed his soldiers, so he told Jiang Guozhu and Guan Zhongzhong to tell Jiang Guozhu and Guan Zhongzhong that he would vacate the military camp for him in the city alone, and he and his soldiers and horses They all lived in the barracks, and said that they were not in charge of allegiance to their subordinates. This time, they came to Suzhou for the purpose of cooperating and guarding, so they would not participate in any military discussions. If Guan Loyalty needs him to send troops, he only needs to have someone send the military orders.

Guan Xiaozhong knew that Liang Huafeng was afraid that he would use a poisonous hand, so he smiled coldly, and ordered someone to vacate a space in the west of the city to place Liang Bu. Ese Hei is a Manchurian, a cabinet scholar, and has no military power, so Guan Zhongzhong and Jiang Guozhu are still polite to him.

Jiang Guozhu came forward to invite the forehead black to the governor's yamen for a banquet, and the forehead black came happily, Guan Xiaozhong and the Suzhou prefect Yan Shaoqing sat with him.

At the banquet, Jiang Guozhu slammed the side, intending to find out from Forehead Black whether there was a secret message from the emperor in Liang Huafeng's hands. Forehead Black naturally insisted that there was no, it was all the Ming army spies provoked. No, he insisted that he didn't, but Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu were even more determined that Liang Huafeng had a secret decree in their hands, otherwise why would Liang Huafeng be so wary of them after entering the city. If there is no ghost in his heart, can Liang Huafeng be like this?

Guan Zhongzhong even guessed that the eight achievements of the secret purpose were brought by Eise Hei from Xingying, but even if this is the truth, it is not the time for fire fighting, because the current Suzhou City is already a powder keg and cannot withstand a little spark.

After the Taiping army captured Changzhou, it had already marched towards Wuxi, and the front came to report that the Taiping army had entered Wangting in Suzhou, and would attack Hushu Pass at any time. The city of Suzhou is now in a state of panic, and many people are conspiring to dedicate the city in private.

Zhou Shixiang was very happy with the success of the military deployment in Changzhou. When he was in Wuxi, he received an urgent delivery from Guangzhou, and under the protection of the pro-military, Zhou Shixiang had already set off for the northward journey~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has now entered the territory of Jiangxi. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang wanted to take Suzhou in one go, completely pacify Jiangnan, and use Jiangnan as a gift for the enthronement of the superintendent and the southern capital. At the same time, the secret report from the Ministry of Military Intelligence was also sent to Zhou Shixiang. Regarding the behavior of Lian Chengbi and others obstructing the supervision of the country's northward movement, Zhou Shixiang just smiled contemptuously, and it was not a problem for the humane and corrupt Confucian around him.

Zhou Shixiang wanted to take Suzhou quickly, and then returned to Nanjing to meet the supervisor and his party. I didn't want the army to advance to Wangting on the second day, but it snowed heavily. In the southern part of the Yangtze River, there is very little snowfall in winter. Generally, the snowfall falls in the twelfth lunar month of winter. At this time, it snows at the end of winter, which is really rare.

The heavy snow affected the action of the army, and Zhou Shixiang had to order the whole army to rest at the front line of Wangting. At the same time, they urgently ordered Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou to quickly make winter clothes.

In the heavy snow, Zhou Shixiang was also waiting, waiting for Liang Huafeng, who fled into Suzhou City, to fight with Guan Zhong loyally. Although this possibility has become very small under the pressure of the Taiping Army, it cannot be ruled out that it will not happen.

What Zhou Shixiang did not expect was that he did not wait for the news of Guan and Liang Rushou, but received a secret letter from another group of people in Suzhou City.

On the third day of November, Zhou Shixiang secretly met several Qing army generals who had sneaked out of Suzhou on Yangcheng Lake in the north of Suzhou City. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
