Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiangtan, Zhou family, big family.

    Although it has not yet developed into "Zhouban County", let alone "marriage half of Huxiang" in the late Qing Dynasty.  But from Jiajing to Wanli years, Zhou Zhiping, Zhou Zhiji, Zhou Zhilong, Zhou Yu, Zhou Xu successively passed the Jinshi examinations, and produced a lot of candidates. The Zhou family frantically annexed land in Xiangtan!

    Unlike the Tao family in Changsha, the Zhou family in Xiangtan is thriving.

    During the Wanli period, there were many peasant uprisings, and the Zhou family took the initiative to recruit village braves every time.  After repelling the peasant army, he immediately took the opportunity to annex the land, which now covers more than 100,000 mu.

    Knowing that Jiangxi Zhao's bandits sent troops to Huguang, Juren Zhou Xing, who was studying at Yuelu Academy, immediately rushed back to Xiangtan to recruit soldiers.

    Historically, in two years, he will also be admitted to Jinshi.

    At the foot of the hidden mountain, Liao Jing, Liao Sheng's younger brother, came to secretly contact Zhou Xing.

    Both parties are from rich families, there is no possibility of compromise, and they must fight Zhao Han to the end.

    "Brother Jingyu, what is the form of Xiangtan?" Liao Jing asked.

    Zhou Xing replied: "Thousands of rebels have besieged the city for half a month. I just received news that the Zhao rebels have captured Liuyang and will definitely march towards Changsha. If Xiangtan is lost, Changsha is in danger! Where is Hengyang?"

    "Except for Hengyang, Hengshan, and Leiyang, the eastern and southern counties are all occupied by Zhao bandits." Liao Jing replied.

    ?After a long battle, Liao Sheng has tens of thousands of regiments under his command, and has recovered Hengyang, Hengshan, and Leiyang one after another.

    The bandits in You County and Anren were the worst, with Zhao Han's army to the east and Liao Sheng's regiment to the west.

    This place can't stay anymore!

    Therefore, as soon as Liu Zhu sent troops from Chaling, the bandits in You County abandoned the city and fled.  When passing through Anren, the Anren bandits also fled, and the two gangs merged and ran to Yongxing County to join Xiaobawang.

    Xiaobawang heard about the situation in the north and felt unable to defend, so he abandoned the city and went to Chenzhou further south.

    They failed to attack Chenzhou, so they could only walk around the city, looting villages and towns along the way, preparing to flee from Yizhang to the border of Guangdong.

    If one ignores the fleeing bandits and the rebelling Yao people, there are now two major battlefields in southern Shonen.

    In the north, Huang Yao surrounded Xiangtan and Li Zheng surrounded Changsha. The strategic goal was to capture Changsha.  The commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers is Wang Zhiliang, the governor of southern Hunan.

    In the south, Liu Zhu, Chen Bing, Leijiabu, Zhang Tieniu, Chen Bing, Yongxing County.  While letting the missionary officers and farmers' associations divide the land, they confronted Liao Sheng's regiment from a distance. The strategic goal was to capture Hengyang.

    Liao Jing said: "Brother is going to attack Lukou, kill the bandits there, and cut off the Zhao bandits' food road!"

    After hearing the situation in the south, Zhou Xing said in surprise: "Brother, if you lead your troops to the north, will you not be afraid that Leiyang and Hengshan will be captured by Zhao bandits?"

    "It is enough to keep three thousand soldiers in each of the two cities," Liao Jing said, "the bandits in Xiangtan must be driven away, so that Changsha, Xiangtan, Hengshan, Hengyang, and Leiyang can form a line."

    Zhou Xing asked: "How should I cooperate?"

    Liao Jing replied: "My brother suggested that the Zhou family's regiment practice, go to Xiangtan to contain the main force of the bandits, and delay the time for the bandits to return to Lukou. After my brother takes Lukou, he can practice with the Zhou family's regiment, as well as the defenders in Xiangtan city.  , Attack the rebels on three sides. The rebels are surrounded by groups, without food and grass supplies, the army will inevitably be in chaos, and they can win in one battle!"

    "Good strategy!" Zhou Xing exclaimed.

    It is indeed a good strategy, the premise is to win the fight.

    Liao Sheng beat those thieves who escaped from Jiangxi, winning consecutive battles. At this time, his prestige was soaring, and he was a little too confident.  He felt that the Jiangxi thieves were nothing more than that, they left thousands of people to guard the city, stopped Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu, and even led their elite troops northward to attack Huang Yao.

    He wants one to fight three!

    Just from a strategic point of view, this approach is very smart and reasonable.  If the combat effectiveness of the two sides is similar, Liao Sheng will definitely succeed, and there is a high probability that Huang Yao's main force will be wiped out.

    It has to be said that Huang Yao rushed in underestimating the enemy, and did not pay attention to the enemy of Hengshan at all, which exposed his grain path to Liao Sheng's soldiers.

    This belongs to Huang Yao's military style, dispatching troops quickly and marching extremely fast.

    Li Zheng is just the opposite. He is cautious, considerate, and likes to discuss with his generals.  If he switched with Huang Yao, it is estimated that Huang Yao has already won Changsha, and there is no time for Wang Zhiliang to reinforce him.

    Three days later, Zhou Xing and Tuan Yong cautiously approached Xiangtan County.

    He didn't dare to get too close, for fear of the collapse of the whole army, he just wanted to attract Huang Yao's attention and create time for Liao Sheng to cut off the enemy's food road.

    "It's finally here!" Huang Yao said with a smile.

    Huang Yao had besieged the city for half a month, never thinking about attacking the city, and was waiting for the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers.  As long as the reinforcements are defeated, the morale of the defenders in the city will inevitably be low, and there will be various methods at that time.It's gone.  "Fei Ruhui walked over and said.

    The bandits under Fei Yinggong's command were all broken up and incorporated into the army, only his daughter Fei Ruhui stayed by his side.

    Fei Ruhui insisted on joining the army to fight, and obtained Zhao Han's permission.

    "How many people are here?" Fei Yinggong asked.

    Fei Ruhui said: "Thousands of them. The grain and grass go by water, and the soldiers go by the river. Watching them march, they seem to be elite."

    "I fight the elite!"

    Fei Yinggong stood up slowly, stretched his waist, yawned and said, "If we don't fight any more, our bones will almost be crisp."

    In Fei Yinggong's hands, there were only 500 regular soldiers and 500 peasant soldiers, and the rest belonged to the grain transportation team.

    After Liao Sheng exposed his whereabouts, he did not return to Hengshan, but slowed down the marching speed so that the soldiers under his command would not be so tired.

    He has more than 10,000 regiments of bravery, and he has not trained much, but he has fought for more than a year.

    This time, the 5,000 regiments of bravery who brought to cut off the grain road were all "elite" veterans who had experienced many battles.  At least, he himself thinks he is an elite who can beat the bandits from Jiangxi to the ground.

    So what about Zhao Tianwang?

    It's not that he hasn't fought the Jiangxi rebels before!

    Liao Sheng felt that the imperial examination was hopeless. In this troubled world, he wanted to rely on his military exploits to seal his wife and son, and at the same time keep his family's property.

    The next morning, Liao Sheng brought five thousand elites to Lukou to attack Fei Yinggong.

    He even trained 300 archers under his command.
