Chapter 340 A precursor to the disintegration of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
But what he is riding on is an ordinary war horse, which greatly reduces his strength and prevents him from fully displaying it!
As the saying goes, a BMW matches a hero. Yang Xiuqing followed his fancy and found a one-horned pink dragon colt as a gift. He gave it to Guo Ruifu in exchange for the favor of Guo Wei and other neutralists.
In order to make sure that someone could restrain Hong Xiuquan while he was away from the court.
"I've really mastered the trick of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!"
Yang Xiuqing caressed her tense face with her right hand, then sighed, her sharp eyes vaguely revealing a trace of reluctance as she looked at the one-horned pink dragon pony.
Just as Yang Xiuqing was sighing, Guo Wei's uncle, the "Gun Fairy" Guo Ruifu, led by a group of maids and servants, arrived in front of Yang Xiuqing and others.
As soon as he arrived, he was attracted by the heroic appearance of the one-horned pink dragon pony!
The one-horned pink dragon pony is tall and burly,
The top of the horse's head protrudes into a small sharp corner,
Its slightly pink horse mane sways in the wind, paired with glossy and smooth fur and strong muscular limbs, giving it a unique style.
"Yang Xiuqing meets his uncle!"
Guo Ruifu, who was intoxicated, was brought back to reality by Yang Xiuqing's voice. Looking at Yang Xiuqing who was respectful to him in front of him, Guo Ruifu couldn't feel any boredom in his heart.
"My nephew is here this time, but are you looking for that guy Guo Wei? He should be here soon. Why are you looking for him?"
Seeing Guo Ruifu taking the initiative to talk to her, Yang Xiuqing was ecstatic. She even told Guo Ruifu about the mission assigned by Hong Xiuquan, and then even said some bad things about Hong Xiuquan and what happened to Liu Xinmin's troops in Yuji County!
After Guo Ruifu heard the news from Yang Xiuqing, his tiger eyes as big as copper bells were wide open. If it was really as serious as what Yang Xiuqing said, then the court would probably make a mess of porridge.
Amid internal and external troubles, where should people like you go?
"My dear nephew, if you lead the army north to Kuaiji County, there will be no one to check Hong Xiuquan.
What will the imperial court look like?"
Yang Xiuqing knew that Guo Ruifu had stepped into his trap, so he made the situation more serious. If he and others led the army to fight against Yuan Shu's army in Yuzhou, no one in the court could check Hong Xiuquan, and Hong Xiuquan's family would inevitably dominate.
He would eliminate dissidents, then dominate the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, forcing all kings to surrender to him.
All the kings in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have surrendered. According to Hong Xiuquan's nature, the faction leaders Yang Xiuqing, Liu Xinmin, Guo Wei, Feng Yunshan, and Xiao Chaogui will inevitably be implicated. Needless to say, Yang Xiuqing and Liu Xinmin will definitely die!
Guo Wei, Feng Yunshan, and Xiao Chaogui were either put under house arrest or dismissed from their posts and investigated, without exception.
While Yang Xiuqing was chatting, Guo Wei happened to come out of the house. He stepped down the steps and looked up to see his uncle Guo Ruifu chatting happily with Yang Xiuqing.
So he quickened his pace and came to the two of them.
As the saying goes, if you reach out and don’t hit a smiling face, you won’t be surprised if you are polite to others.
Yang Xiuqing came to visit this time and brought a lot of gold and silver treasures to place in the center of the courtyard. He also brought a one-horned pink dragon colt to present to his uncle Guo Ruifu. All these things made Guo Wei really unable to be angry.
Guo Wei was well aware of Yang Xiuqing's thoughts and had originally intended to decline the heavy gifts brought by Yang Xiuqing and others. However, when he raised his eyes and saw that his uncle Guo Ruifu was very fond of the one-horned pink dragon colt, he was just about to say it.
The words were swallowed hard, turned into a sigh, and then took the initiative to talk to Yang Xiuqing.
"The Lord asked you to resist Yuan Shu's troops in Yuzhou. What about Liu Xinmin? Did he ask you to kill him? Or did he ask you to resist Yuan Shu together with him?"
Guo Wei's soul torture made Yang Xiuqing a little confused, but after Yang Xiuqing had a clear idea in her mind, she combined her thoughts with the information she obtained and told Guo Wei in front of her.
"Hong Xiuquan's intention should be that we first join forces with Liu Xinmin to deal with Yuan Shu's troops in Yuzhou, then wipe out Tang Mao's forces in Kuaiji County, and finally bring Liu Xinmin back to be punished.
If we do what he said, Liu Xinmin will most likely lead the army to rebel from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even if he has generals like Wei Changhui, Zeng Tianyang, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, and Liu Wuzhou in his army, it may not be of any use!"
Hearing what Yang Xiuqing said, Liu Xinmin might be forced to lead an army to rebel from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Guo Wei felt a headache. Assuming that Liu Xinmin really rebelled against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, then Yang Xiuqing would definitely be defeated when he fought against Yuan Shu and Tang Mao alone!
If he didn't want Yang Xiuqing to lose, he would have to mobilize troops and horses to go north to support him, and this supporting force would most likely be himself or Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui.
"Hong Xiuquan cannot be allowed to have exclusive power, otherwise we will not have a good life. I will join forces with Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui and Prime Minister Hong Rengan at the court to check and balance Hong Xiuquan's power.
Your top priority is to unite Liu Xinmin's troops in Yuji County and defeat Yuan Shu of Yuzhou and Tang Mao of Kuaiji together, so that you can be free to lead the army back to check and balance Hong Xiuquan."
Seeing that Guo Wei was willing to help her fight against Hong Xiuquan in the court, Yang Xiuqing was overjoyed. He showed no emotion at all, bowed his hands and thanked him, then took the reins of the one-horned pink dragon colt and raised the precious colt in front of Guo Wei.
They gave the gift of face to "Gun Fairy" Guo Ruifu to express their gratitude.
"With the help of General Guo Wei, I dare to fight Yuan Shu and Tang Hao freely. Thank you very much!"
Yang Xiuqing bowed his hands and thanked him, and then led the soldiers behind him to withdraw from Guo Wei's mansion, return to the military camp and prepare to lead the army towards Kuaiji County in the north.
…
Yangzhou, Kuaiji County!
"If we persist for one more day, Yuzhou Yuan Shu will arrive at Shangyu County. At that time, we can launch a counterattack with Yuan Shu's troops and recapture Yuji County."
Lai Huer and Xin Wenli, who were responsible for guarding Shangyu County, chatted with each other and were looking forward to the time when Yuan Shu led the army to arrive at Shangyu. They had been beaten so hard by the rebels these days that they could not hold their heads up, and now they finally had a chance to avenge their shame!
"Of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu, the fourth and the three princes, are undoubtedly the most important. Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao are the most powerful! Since he settled in Runan County, he has rectified the administration of officials, been good to the people, and recuperated. In less than a year, the tax revenue of Runan County has doubled.
turn.
During the Yellow Turban Uprising, he mobilized his troops to attack the Yellow Turban rebels in Yuzhou, and then went all the way north to kill the bandits Zhang Bao and Wang Qing, and quelled the Yellow Turban rebellion.
A few days ago, I heard the news that he destroyed Fang La in the southern country... He is really a role model for our generation!"
Lai Hu'er gently held the crenellations of the city wall. His tall and straight body was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. The golden glow seemed to have put a layer of armor on him. Coupled with his eyes that sparkled because of his worship of Yuan Shu, the jade tree stood in the wind, majestic.
