"Good luck to the world!"
To the north of the river, the Taiping soldiers, who were as dense as a swarm of ants, were holding sharp swords and shouting loudly, with a fierce momentum.
After defeating Huangfu Song, the Taiping Army did not stop. Now it has completely occupied the important town of Xingyang and several dangerous passes built around Xingyang.
There are not only arsenals here, but also large granaries, making it a very good place for a battle.
The fortified city east of Luoyang was almost empty.
Luo Xiao stopped risking huge casualties to attack the remaining fortified cities. Instead, he stationed himself in Xingyang, attracting the Qinwang Army from all over the world and attracting firepower for the Taiping Army in other states and counties.
The most correct approach for the powerful powers in the world should be to wipe out the Taiping troops in various places separately, and to wipe out all the Taiping troops distributed in the prefectures and counties around Luoyang, so that they can join forces.
But the military is just a continuation of politics. When the capital faces a huge threat, no military goals matter.
The most correct thing for Luo Xiao is not to care about the damage and attack Luoyang directly, but the correct way is different for a person who can't live for many years and a person who can live for decades.
After Luo Xiao's training and battle after battle, the Taiping Army was no longer the same army as Zhang Jiao.
No matter how harsh people are, they must admit that this is an elite team, and it is a rare elite team in the world.
What kind of army can be called elite?
There are just two things, skilled techniques and tactics, and a firm will to fight. The former can only be obtained through repeated battles and hard training, while the latter...
The commander's personal charisma can greatly enhance the army's fighting will.
Rewards for the future can enhance the army's will to fight. For example, if you conquer a city and promise not to seal the sword for three days and not to seal the sword for ten days, you can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness.
But in Luo Xiao's view, these are all trivial methods, methods limited to one army or one team, and methods that only war generals can think of.
In Luo Xiao's view, the combat effectiveness of a country's military is a reflection of the entire country's politics.
When the politics is clear, the fighting power is strong; when the politics is dark, the fighting power is weak.
Military is the continuation of politics. It is not just war, but the entire military system. This is the key.
Luo Xiao took a three-pronged approach. Zhang Jiao's reputation was not good for others, but it was extremely high for the Taiping Taoists. This ensured that the Taiping Taoists were naturally fond of him and the Taiping Army trusted him.
After completing this step, Luo Xiao began to reform the political system of Taiping Dao.
He integrated most of the Taiping armies in Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou, and established a military-first system with Xingyang as the center.
Taiping soldiers and their families lived in divided areas.
Who should do what, men are responsible for what tasks, and women are responsible for what tasks.
Who should get what, food, cloth, men, women, even the elderly and children, all distributed according to their needs.
Luo Xiao arranged everything properly.
In Luo Xiao's opinion, this is too simple.
Because most of the Taiping Taoists were from the poorest backgrounds, they were easily satisfied.
The entire Taiping Army was well organized and orderly, which was a far cry from the chaos of the past.
Especially in troubled times, they can still have such a life, and a spirit from the heart fills the hearts of the Taiping Army.
After living for decades, when have I ever seen such a peaceful world? The state of the Taiping Army can only be described in four words, which can be used by the people.
In Luo Xiao’s words, “The Han court used violence, and Taiping used gentleness; the Han court used cruelty, and Taiping used kindness; the Han court used injustice, and Taiping used equal distribution.
The world of Han Dynasty is so dark.
How bright is the peaceful world.
The tiny moth flies towards the lantern. The man yearns for light and is willing to sacrifice. This is the natural principle.
If I do the opposite to Han Ting, I will have peace.
People's hearts are on my side, what can't I win? "
In the city of Xingyang, the residence of the great virtuous master of the Taiping Army.
The Qu commanders, each in charge of an army, sat obediently like children. They all looked at Luo Xiao, who was sitting on top, with infinite reverence in their eyes. That was not the way they looked at people at all, but It's like looking at a god.
In the eyes of these people, Luo Xiao is almost omniscient, omniscient, and omnipotent. No matter whether it is government affairs or military affairs, nothing can be difficult for him. From the time he defeated Huangfu Song to the present, he has established the prototype of this Taoist country. .
Nothing goes wrong!
Almost every moment, Taiping Road continues to become more cohesive, and the Taiping Army becomes stronger. This is all done by the person in front of me, so lightly.
In Luo Xiao's hand, he had important military information about the Taiping Army in other states. After seeing it, he put it down and said to the commanders in the hall: "The elite Taoists from Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou are gradually gathering here, and they are constantly recruiting new ones." Become a Taoist.
Next is the Qingzhou Taiping Army, which has grown rapidly and now has hundreds of thousands of people. It is powerful and is attacking westward to join us.
The situation for the brothers in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Youzhou was not very good before, but as we defeated Huangfu Song, threatened Luoyang, and continued to harass Sanhe and Yingchuan counties, all the princes and princes in the world turned their attention.
The heroes of the Han Dynasty have led their armies to attack us.
This is probably what the legend says, everyone in the world is the enemy! "
There was a smile in Luo Xiao's voice that could not help but laugh, and it was full of boldness and boldness, as if he was not the enemy of the whole world, but the friend of the whole world.
His calm and relaxed performance also affected Commander Qu of the Taiping Army in the hall, and his previous worry was swept away.
Youqushuai asked directly: "General, what should I do next?
King Qin's army of princes is probably coming soon, but I don't know whether they will join forces and march together, or come separately. These people should not be underestimated. "
Luo Xiao smiled when he heard this, stood up and walked slowly out of the house. His handsome men stood up and followed him.
Luo Xiao looked at the blue sky with his hands behind his hands and laughed loudly: "Why are we staying in Xingyang?
Don’t you just want to see the King Qin’s army in this world?
Isn't it just to let the princes in the world who are still loyal to the Han Dynasty and the clan members of the Han Dynasty who still have achievements in the world see with their own eyes how our Taiping Army cut off the destiny of the Han Dynasty!
Let them come.
Let’s see if they can revive the Han Dynasty, or if we can overthrow the Han Dynasty.
Don't be afraid, as I once said to you, in this world, instead of spending your life in a cowardly manner, it is better to do the next big thing with a clear conscience.
Killing a dynasty that is coming to an end, destroying the old decadent world, and building a new world. Is there any more magnificent cause in the world than this? "
The brilliance in the eyes of the commanders of the Taiping Army shone brighter and brighter. In their eyes, Luo Xiao's figure became taller and taller, like the towering Mount Tai.
They had never seen anyone like Luo Xiao before.
They were deeply impressed by his chivalrous spirit, his disdain for the fame and fortune that most people pursue, and his benevolence towards all people.
In the past three hundred years, the greatest saints I have heard of are King Zhaosheng and King Luowen, and the greatest saint I have ever seen is the Great Sage.
This is the truest thought of the commanders of the Taiping Army.
Luo Xiao continued to walk into the courtyard, and the group hurriedly followed, only to hear Luo Xiao loudly say: "Go and explore the news from all directions to see who is the first prince to arrive.
First, use his head to tell everyone in the world, don’t waste time and commit suicide one by one, let’s do it together! "
The commanders of the Taiping Army have been waiting for this day for too long. They can't wait to fight with the last army that the Han Dynasty can rely on.
The Qin kings and princes in the world also raised their troops and came to Xingyang. Luo Kong led the Western Region cavalry at the fastest speed. He quickly crossed the river from Hexi, then arrived at Hedong County, and then went straight to Hanoi County and stationed at Dahe. On the north shore, the trumpet of war seemed to sound in an instant.
However, for the time being, Luo Kong did not have the energy to cross the river and attack the Taiping Army, because he was entangled by local forces and was holding him back.
Of course, the imperial court would not completely rely on King Qin's army. Sili still had war potential. The imperial court quickly recruited a group of young men from the Sanhe area and Hongnong County, and opened its arsenal to Huangfu Song to rearm a large army.
However, this time Huangfu Song was very cautious. He led his troops to station west of the passes in Xingyang to prevent the Taiping Army from suddenly attacking Luoyang and putting the whole world into a passive state. Even if they could not win in the field, they could still defend the city.
With these two armies in place to besiege Xingyang, the princes of Yuzhou and Yanzhou closest to Xingyang either led their armies to attack the east and south of Xingyang, or they each found people with high reputations to form alliances.
For example, Luo Zichuan, a model in the world, ranged from governor to county hero. Many people came to join him, hoping to use him as the leader to form a coalition to attack the Taiping Army in Xingyang.
The Zhang family who is closest to Xingyang also led a private army to Luochuan's command. Regarding the Taiping Dao rebellion, among the top wealthy families, the most popular one is the Xinzheng Zhang family. Who knows that they believe in Taoism.
Some people also rumored that Zhang Jiao was a member of the Zhang family in Xinzheng, just to criticize the Zhang family. They forced the Zhang family to take out their genealogy and confront people one by one to prove that Zhang Jiao was not a member of the Zhang family in Xinzheng.
Troops of armies were encircling Xingyang quickly or slowly, as if they had laid a dragnet. No one could escape. Huangfu Song looked at the news with a smile on his face. He had already said that as long as It is easy to recruit troops from all over the country to put down the Taiping rebellion.
My Han Dynasty has a good historical tradition of being diligent and rescuing people for three hundred years, so why not use it!
The emperor of Luoyang's face was relaxed at the same time, but his brows were furrowed at the same time. How could King Qin be so helpful? Look at the Ruzi Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who lost the throne to Qin.
Luo Xiao continued to deduce the weaknesses of these princes on the map. Although he said that the princes should attack together, they still have to defeat them individually during the war.
————
He occupied Xingyang, joined forces with millions of people, and gathered 100,000 Taoist soldiers, using the name "Heaven Taoist Master". Within a few months, he got a piece of peaceful land. Is it a witchcraft to achieve peace? ——"The Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty"
