In war, what you fear most is that your strategic purpose and strategic intentions are detected and guessed by your opponent, and based on your purpose, intention, many marching routes and war means can be inferred.

On the strategic level, Shi Dakai is obviously a master who is proficient in this art. He has also heard of Zuo Zongtang's difficulty. After this actual battle, he looked like Er'er. If the troops surrounded Anqing, it might be more secretive.

Even An Qing was sure of seventy or eighty-eight points in one battle. Zuo Zongtang's intentions were too obvious and too obvious. Unlike Zuo Zongtang's previous tactic of avoiding the important and taking advantage of the situation, there must be evil. After careful consideration, Zuo Zongtang is not an incompetent person when comparing the battle situation in Jiangxi.

The Qing Yao in Anhui and Jiangxi had an extremely clear purpose of the operation. The troops surrounded Anqing and resolved the dilemma of Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps. Although the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei retreated under the power of the heavenly soldiers, as the general who led the troops and the commander of the army, Shi Dakai knew clearly that the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei were just temporary retreats.

According to Qing Yao's tactics, I am afraid that in a short time, the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps that besieged Tianjing will be re-established again. If the two camps re-establish and Anqing will fall again, the advantages of the heavenly soldiers in the past will no longer exist, and the entire surrounding area of ​​Tianjing will be divided and surrounded again.

Anqing was the provincial capital of Anhui before, and its status is naturally very important. If you look at Anqing alone, it would not be too eye-catching. However, considering the current Anqing in the overall situation of the Kingdom of Heaven, this status is extremely important.

In Shi Dakai's view, if the Qing Yao soldiers encircle Anqing, the threat is much higher than the Jiangnan camp located outside the city of Tianjing. Once Anhui and Jiangxi are not protected, it will be difficult for Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take advantage of it. The two Jiangnan camps will no longer exist.

Anqing takes into account both Anhui and Jiangxi from north to south, and radiates east to west to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Zeng Guofan's Hunan Yong and Zuo Jigao's Chu Yong are both enemies of heavenly soldiers, and their combat power is stronger than Xiang Rong.

Once the two armies arrived in Anqing, Shi Dakai was not sure whether he could defend this place. He looked at the slow movements of the two armies. Obviously, he did not want to retreat as soon as he touched it. Zuo Zongtang had withdrawn from Shucheng and Tongcheng areas these days, but the troops still had the same force, and he was afraid he would not retreat casually.

Although Shi Dakai didn't get much of the battle report in Jiangxi, Zeng Guofan changed his past habit of making arbitrage and made steady progress in Jiangxi, which was obviously not a good phenomenon.

The troops surrounded Anqing and threatened Tianjing to resolve the dilemma of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in addition to Zeng Zuo. What worried Shi Dakai even more was the Qing court master who planned this strategy behind the scenes. Xiang Lao Yao and Tuo Minga, who were trapped in Jiangnan and Jiangbei camp, were not the talents of generals, so they had three years of stability in Tianjing.

This time, the prefectures and counties in Anhui and Jiangxi were not taken away, and they had to work together to encircle Anqing. After careful consideration, the threat to heaven was extremely posed and it was not a general, so it was difficult to plan such a strategy.

The military siege of Anqing was unstoppable. With the combat power of Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, it would be difficult for him to defeat the two men who fought steadily in a short period of time. For the Kingdom of Heaven, although Su and Zhejiang are in sight, the defeated soldiers of the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei are still the greatest obstacle for the heavenly soldiers to enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is undoubtedly a dream to conquer Su and Zhejiang in a moment.

Compared with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the situation in Anhui and Jiangxi has undoubtedly improved a lot. Tianjing can stand firm and cannot be supported by Anhui and Jiangxi before. If Anqing loses, Anhui and Jiangxi will be split in half and can only fight each other.

From Anqing to the river, he arrived in Tianjing in one or two days. Shi Dakai personally experienced the combat power of the Xiangyong Navy. After occupying Anqing, Xiangyong and Chu Yong's water and land coalition forces could encircle Tianjing in three or five days. Once the old demon's Jiangnan camp is established again, it is also a question whether Tianjing can be defended.

Since suffering from the great loss of Brother Yang and losing Jiujiang, the battle situation of the heavenly soldiers in Jiangnan was barely enough, but it was no longer as good as before. Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Xiang Lao Yao, and a brother Yang who was still in Jiujiang. If the four of them work together to defend Tianjing, it would be as hard as heaven!

Thinking of Brother Yang, Shi Dakai's face was extremely bitter. This was exactly the same as when he threw himself into Jiujiang. He went from the three towns of Wuhan to Huange and Ezhou, and first cut off the water division and then destroyed the Lu division.

The soldiers surrounded Anqing and blocked the river. Then they turned around and wiped out the heavenly soldiers of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces with the mainland. The heavenly soldiers were unable to take care of each other and were defeated one by one, which was sooner or later.

"Is Brother Yang going to use troops again? The target is Tianjing?"

Although he was talking to himself, but when he connected Brother Yang San and Tianjing, Shi Dakai couldn't help but stand up with some hair. Brother Yang could not stop him. If he lost Tianjing, where would the heavenly soldiers go? Where would the heavenly kingdom go?

Shi Dakai was very disgusted with Brother Yang's methods, and he killed them all! Last time, the troops were out of the Two Lakes, the Land Division, and the Water Camp, with nearly 40,000, and less than 2,000 survived. Most of these people were brothers from the Water Camp, Wei Jun's Ezhou Land Division, and the entire army was wiped out. Shi Xiangzhen's Huangzhou Land Division only survived. If Brother Yang occupied Tianjing, he would be afraid...

Further down, Shi Dakai didn't dare to think about it carefully, so he could only quickly write a book to report the matter to the King of Dong. After defeating Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Dongwang had a lot of thoughts. I am afraid that now is not the right time. Once Brother Yang moves, it will be a thunderous momentum. With the heavenly soldiers of Anhui and Jiangxi, it will be extremely difficult to stop Brother Yang's army.

In addition, Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, who are not easy to deal with, will be out of control if the Anqing pass is gone!

Shi Dakai's idea was basically Yang Meng's purpose. The progress of the army surrounds Anqing was extremely smooth. The left mule in Anhui knew about him. The actions in Shucheng and Tongcheng were enough to make Yang Meng not doubt him in a short period of time. Zeng Disheng from Jiangxi was the same. He changed his previous rash style and began to slowly capture some of the Taiping Army's money and food in Jiangxi.

What made Yang Meng happiest was that Zeng Disheng's small moves in Hengzhou expanded Xiangyong. Although the scale of expansion was only 5,000, for Yang Meng, this was Zeng Disheng's attitude. With this, there was no need for those small moves of Shadow.

The Jiangnan Camp collapsed, and Lin Jili also took over the moldy food. The next battle situation was afraid that the court would feel uncomfortable.

The defeated army of Jiangbei Daying could not stop the Taiping Army's troops, so Minga lost Yangzhou. The Taiping Army opened the gateway to Jiangsu north; the Jiangnan Daying retreated and Lishui was lost. The two Suzhous and Changzhou were also the items of the Taiping Army. The iron triangle with Tianjing, Zhenyang and Suzhou and Changzhou as the main structure has been established. As long as Yang Xiuqing exerted a little force, it would be enough for the court to scratch his head.

Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui went west to Anhui and Jiangxi, probably because Yang Xiuqing had the intention to usurp the power. As long as the gentleman Shi Xianggong did not have the intention to usurp the power, he would definitely tell Yang Xiuqing the importance of Anqing to Yang Xiuqing. Yang Xiuqing would not take the safety of Tianjing lightly. In this way, his hidden ambitions could only ferment for a period of time.

When Lin Jili and Yang Xiuqing were exercising their strength at the same time, the court was an ant on a hot pan. Zeng Disheng and Zuo Jigao were slow to move. He was afraid that it would be a natural situation after he put the third note on his own.

Lin Jili, who was trapped in Jinghai, received a batch of life-saving food from the sect. Although it was a little moldy, it was better than hungry. The rescuers in Tianjing were not many times, and the three of them felt resentment, and even more so with the soldiers below. I don’t know when there were deserters among the heavenly soldiers.

After being trapped in Jinghai for nearly two years, the northern deacon of the Principle and School of the Confucianism became the close friend of the three. It was not willing to do so, but had to do it for Senggelinqin, who repeatedly poured water into Jinghai. Facing the encirclement like a clear demon, the three could only let go of nothing in Jinghai City.

There is no fire, medicine, artillery, and it is very difficult to break through the rammed earth walls and Qingyao camp around Jinghai. In the past two years, more than 20,000 elite soldiers in the Northern Expedition were killed and ran away, leaving more than 10,000 left. Jinghai City has actually become a barracks with only men. From Lin Jili to ordinary Taiping soldiers, the eagerness to capture the capital in his heart has long been beaten to the cold of the north and disappeared.

I don’t know when the Principles and Buddhism were spread quietly in Jinghai City. Lin Ji and Li and the other two also ignored this. After all, in the siege of death, both the Heavenly Father and the Principles and Buddhism were no longer important. Food that could fill the stomach and clothes that keep the cold were necessary to survive.

In the hands of the teachings, some of these things can be brought into the sea of ​​silence. From the beginning, they entered the teachings for a cotton coat, to now helping the teachings to promote the teachings, many changes in things have been unknowingly done.

"Three, no matter whether the success or failure of this break, my master will keep three of them safe.

As long as the three can break through the iron siege of Senggelinqin, it will put some pressure on Tianjin Wei. In the early summer next year, we will ensure that the three can lead the army out of Jinghai!”

Facing Lin Jili and the other three, the Northern Deacon of the Political Science and Education, they were content to speak, and they were completely unaware of being killed.

"Deacon Yang, we have done what we should do and what we shouldn't have done. It's been more than two years since then. Can't we talk about some things openly and honestly?

Whether it’s selling oneself or cooperating with each other! The three of us can’t hold on for another two years, right?”

After two years of hard defense, Lin Fengxiang became the leader of the three. The rescue in Tianjin was not good. The recent batch of reinforcements was a year ago. They only fought in Shandong and returned to the army. Lin Fengxiang was really not worried about the Kingdom of Heaven. He was in a desperate situation for two years and could figure out many things. Why bother to come!

"As long as there are those who believe in the Heavenly Father in Jinghai City, this matter cannot be done. You three will be the ones who will deal with these people, otherwise..."

He glanced at Lin Ji and Li in the hall. The Yang family manager did not hide his cover and said what he should have said directly.

"We are the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom, Deacon Yang. Is it too much to do this?

Senggelinqin outside the city has surrendered several times, but we are not really a way out!"

Ji Wenyuan is still interested in the kingdom of heaven among the three. Lin Fengxiang's attitude is very clear. He will follow anyone except Qing Yao. He contacted the three of them in northern Henan, but unfortunately the people who were not allowed to get in, so he had to give up this matter.

As for Li Kaifang, although he had some thoughts in his heart, he could only be a double-faced person for the sake of the unity of the three.

"Haha... there are some people and some things, and it's time to make a decision. Let's meet again if you are destined!"

Since some people in the army believed in the principles and religion, for Lin Jili's Northern Expedition Army, this Deacon Yang has become a place that has gone without a trace.

Before leaving, he looked at Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang deeply, and as for Ji Wenyuan, he glanced slightly.

Shortly after Deacon Yang left, Lin Ji and Li launched a fierce counterattack against Senggelinqin's iron siege. Although Senggelinqin claimed to be the elite of his subordinates, in order to protect Tianjin Guards, his Mongolian Iron Cavalry and Eight Banners elites also suffered thousands of casualties. He was the Taiping Army and killed more than 3,000 core members. Ji Wenyuan, a general of the Northern Expedition Army, died in front of the formation.

Since the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei were successively destroyed, the capital of the capital was threatened by the hairy thieves. The battle situation around Tianjin Wei shows that the Mongolian cavalry and the elite Eight Banners of Senggelinqin were difficult to block the Taiping Army's offensive, and the capital of the capital was at risk of falling at any time.

The Four Color Stick couldn't help but think of moving to the Rehe River again. The Gyeonggi area is in danger, and the situation in Jiangnan is also extremely bad.

The defeat of the Jiangbei camp in Tominga not only lost the camp that had been built for three years, but also lost Yangzhou and Yangzhou, and Jiangsu's door was opened.

After Xiang Rong was defeated, he might have been embarrassed and angry, or he might have been exhausted and died in the army. Although the court urgently transferred the Anhui Admiral Hechun to reorganize the Jiangnan camp, it was very urgent that it would be difficult to defend the Suzhou and Changzhou prefectures.

First, the two major camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei collapsed, and then Lin Jili's Northern Expedition Army was in a strange state. The situation in the court suddenly became particularly difficult. The disaster of destroying the country seemed to be right in front of us. If Su and Zhejiang were really lost, the thief would probably have really accomplished. (To be continued...)
