Chapter 162 Wang Haiyang kills Li Shixian (3)
Lu Shunde and Lin Zhengyang took the lead and sent their troops to attack north. In two days, they arrived in Anyuan, Jiangxi.
Fang Zhaoxuan, the deputy general of the Guangdong Army, did not dare to neglect and led his headquarters in a hurry to pursue from Zhongkeng to Chaozhu, and from Chaozhu to Anyuan.
Fang Zhaoxuan led his troops to leave, and Wang Haiyang ordered Wang Tanfu to accompany Wang Tanfu to defend Jiaoling. Haiyang personally led a force to falsely attack Baidu; then he suddenly attacked with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry, and the surprise troops surrounded the rear and made a surprise attack, annihilating them all. Lin Bao, the commander of the capital, conquered Shigongjing and took advantage of the victory to attack Xiangcun.
After hearing the news, Fang Zhaoxuan rushed back, fired 200 guns and more than ten cannons, trying to stop the Taiping Army in a corner of Xiangcun.
Accompanying Wang Tan Fu has decided to surrender, so he quickly informs Chu General Kang Guoqi about Wang Haiyang's intention to abandon Guangdong and go to Jiangxi.
When Zuo Zongtang heard about it, he was shocked and said: Wang Ni fled into the territory of Guangdong. Although the number was still tens of thousands, including the scattered soldiers and Ting camp rebels who fled, the total did not exceed 100,000. Everywhere in Jiaoling was dangerous and barren. Abnormal, it is difficult to maintain the situation for a long time. I think that if we rebel, we will attack the well-established areas in western Guangdong. It was indeed unexpected that Thief Wang insisted on entering Jiangxi. Is this report accurate?
Liu Diandao said: "I risked my life to report the secret to the chieftain Tan Fu. There should be no lies. Tan Fu surrendered willingly, perhaps to atone for his merits."
Zuo Zongtang said: "Quickly pass on my order. The Kangguo Army Department will quickly consolidate the defense line at Sanxikou of Songyuan. Liu Qingliang's troops will strangle the lower dam, and Gao Liansheng and Huang Shaochun will strangle in front of Chi and Yan. This is the first line of defense to strangle the thieves." Brother Ke'an quickly went to Tingzhou's Zhuotian to set up defenses; in addition, Zhang Hengxiang's troops quickly moved from Shanghang to Gaowu, guerrilla Lai Chang's troops quickly moved into Yongding. If the first line of defense is broken, Brother Ke'an must hold on to Tingzhou and wait for Guo Songlin and Yang Dingxun's Soviet troops to rush for reinforcements.
Liu Diandao: Commander Zuo, don't worry, Wang is bucking the trend and it will be difficult to break Gao Liansheng's stronghold.
Zuo Zongtang said: Half of the Ting rebelled and merged, and their potential was unpredictable.
Wang Haiyang, Huang Aizi and others failed to besiege Meizhou, so they led the entire army back to Zaibei and entered Jiangxi via Wuping and Tingzhou. After more than a month of bloody fighting, with more than 10,000 casualties, they were still unable to break through the defense lines of Gao Liansheng and Huang Shaochun.
Huang Chaizi said: The demon army here will never retreat. There are also demon armies that have recently settled in Tingzhou and Gaowu. When we besieged Meizhou, how could there be so many demon troops! The policy of abandoning Guangdong and entering Jiangxi has become known to the devil.
Wang Haiyang said: "The only people who know this strategy are the kings and the general Hu Yongxiang. Except for the accompanying king, all the kings will fight in front of the formation and will not leave for a moment." Send my order quickly to arrest the traitor Tan Fu immediately.
When Tan Fu heard this, he panicked and fled to Li Futai's military camp with five hundred soldiers.
Xiangcun was defeated miserably, and Meizhou could not be attacked; Tan Fu leaked the secret, and there was no hope of looking northward. Wang Haiyang had no choice but to build a fortress in Jiaoling, and the wall could not be broken out.
One day, Li Shixian, the servant king, appeared in Jiaoling dressed as a beggar. When everyone saw him, they burst into cheers and wept to welcome the king.
Wang Haiyang, the king of Kang, also served wine and meat, and entertained him with a smile. After three rounds of wine, Wang Haiyang asked: "How did your servant survive two months?"
Li Shixian said: "That day I fell off my horse and the soldiers were defeated. I cut off my beard and hair and hid in the mountains. I stayed day and night and went out for two months. When I heard that Brother Kang was here, I came to join him."
Wang Haiyang said: "Brother-in-law is back, great things will happen!" Come, come, eat meat and drink wine!
After nine rounds of drinking, as night fell, Wang Haiyang killed five people, including Li Shixian and others, in the name of demons.
Wang Haiyang was violent and unruly, cruel and cruel, and killed him repeatedly. All the old servants of the king were determined to reunite with each other for secret business, with the intention of killing Kang Wang.
King Tan Tiyuan was very anxious, and in the name of the great plan of the kingdom of heaven, he repeatedly persuaded everyone to stop the war, but the people's hearts had dispersed.
One evening, King You Li Yuanji, King Yang Li Mingcheng and others left without saying goodbye.
After Huang Penghou, the king of Fenghou, was afraid of going to serve, he secretly surrendered to the Chu army. Liu Dian ordered his internal response and said: "The bandit army will be completely destroyed, and you will be resurrected."
The general Lin Zhengyang wanted to surrender, but the king Lu Shun refused to allow him. Lin Zhengyang did not stop, tied up the king, and dedicated the city to surrender to the enemy.
