Chapter 164 Seng Gelinqin died in Caozhou (1)
After the battle at Heishidu, King Zun Lai Wenguang, King Zhang Zongyu of Liang, King Renzhu of Lu, and King Zhang Yujue of Youwo worked together to break out of the encirclement and stopped in Dengzhou, Henan to discuss their way out.
Zhang Zongyu had a long private discussion with Ren Zhu and Zhang Yujue, and then he called Lai Wenguang and said: After the fall of Anqing, he followed his brother's suggestion and led the northern alliance of Nian and Miao to the left of Gu Jing. In order to restore Anhui Province and consolidate the capital, this is the best strategy. If the Ying Palace obeys the brother's advice, how can the Kingdom of Heaven be like this? There are thousands of people in a family, but only one person is in charge. We are willing to obey the command of the palace and swear to live and die together without hesitation.
Lai Wenguang said: I am deeply grateful for the love from all my brothers. From now on, all the matters will be decided through consultation by our brothers. The young heavenly king has been killed by the demons of the Qing Dynasty, and the kingdom of heaven exists in name only. If we continue to use the name of the kingdom of heaven, it will only be superficial. What do you mean, brothers, I still use the name Niannu, supplemented by the military system of the heavenly kingdom, changing foot to ride, running and killing demons, in order to restore the country in the near future?
Zhang Zongyu said: "I will come down as soon as the palace orders me. We will obey the instructions."
Lai Wenguang said: We are newly defeated, so we must not act rashly; the most urgent task is to get rid of the monks and demons, recruit troops, and slowly make plans.
King Renzhu of Lu said: "Your Highness, King Zun, I believe that it is better to fight monsters quickly, but if you fight them too late, things will change." The monk demon is no match for me. If there were no rebels in the battle of Black Rock Crossing, our army would not have suffered a disastrous defeat.
Zhang Zongyu said: "Your Highness, King Zun, what King Lu said is right. Heishidu was defeated miserably and the morale of the army is extremely low. It is even more important to rise up and slay the monsters."
Lai Wenguang said: Water has no constant shape, and soldiers have no constant momentum. Avoid the real and attack the weak, and recharge your batteries. When the monk monster attacks, run away to avoid it. The monk monster withdraws from the siege, and the strange soldiers harass it. When it is exhausted, confused and upset, join forces. Encircle and annihilate them.
Zhang Zongyu said: This is a siege method. The monks, monsters and Mongolian cavalry are the best at this method. If I treat others in their own way, great things can be accomplished.
Lai Wenguang said: The Mongolian cavalry of the demon monks is galloping through the Central Plains. King Luo, King Fu, Song Jingshi, etc. were all killed by them; we cannot underestimate them. Do not fight with them within three months; send my order quickly, and the army will be stationed on the spot to recuperate.
After the battle at Heishidu, Seng Gelinqin, together with Yi Chang Hengling, deputy commander Chang Xing'a, registered admiral Guo Baochang, guerrilla Chen Guorui and others stalked and pursued them. At the end of the year, they drove into Henan.
Heng Ling said: "Qi reports to the Commander-in-Chief, all the traitors and rebels have gathered in Dengzhou County, are you chasing after them?"
Monk Gelinqin said: The black stone crossed the bandits, and the two hundred thousand people were instantly wiped out. The remaining five thousand people who slipped through the net can be cut off with a little courage.
Chen Guorui said: "I have reported to the Commander-in-Chief that the remaining bandits must be killed." If we let it go, it will overflow and the consequences will be endless.
Monk Gelinqin said: "Qingyun's words are reasonable. Send my order quickly. All the troops will work at night to surround the remaining bandits. Song Qing, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang Town, quickly leads the Yongyi army into Henan to help in the battle."
When Seng Gelinqin's troops arrived in Dengzhou, Lai Wenguang, Zhang Zongyu, Ren Zhu and others discussed where to go.
Zhang Zongyu said: The army has rested for more than a month, and it can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong. The King of England likes to shoot back his horse the most. Why don't we follow suit, destroy one enemy, and retreat calmly. I immediately led three thousand yellow flags to attack first and then test the demon army's combat power.
Lai Wenguang said: "The King of England's Thirty Check Points to return the carbine, no one can beat it, let's give it a try today!" Brother Liang, let's explore. I will join Brother Lu in dredging Hao and building fortresses, and we will be ready.
King Lu Renzhu said: "Brother Liang, take a break, I, Lan Qi, will go first."
Zhang Zongyu said: "I have made up my mind. Brother Lu will speed up the blue flag and watch from behind."
