Since Tan Qing and Zhang Gong went out, Shengbao began to feel restless and wandered around in front of his master Wei and Jin. Wei and Jin saw Shengbao's worries, but he was not anxious at all. A group of black clothes quietly came to the wall of Shengbao's house under the cover of night. The men in black gestured to each other, and then some squatted down and held their companions on the wall with their hands, and those who went up reached out and pulled their companions up. If they saw it, they would think it was the special police performing.

When everyone flipped into the backyard, someone was whispering: "Where are the brothers of the new army? The villain was waiting here for a long time under the orders of the Wei and Jin dynasties." Everyone suddenly heard something, and they pulled out a short gun and pointed it at the man. After hearing the man's words, they put down the gun. Yang Yi stepped forward and asked, "Where is Shengbao? Take us." The person came and said, "Shengbao is in the study, Master Wei is accompanying him, I will take everyone here." After that, the man led the way, Yang Yi and others followed behind. There were not many guards along the way, and it should be the arrangement of the master. Occasionally, he met a few inspectors, but they were also quietly cleaned up by Yang Yi and the others.

Outside Shengbao's study was a large courtyard, and the vigilance here began to become much tighter. There was a guard more than ten meters away in the corridor. Yang Yi told the person who led the way, and the man walked towards the nearest guard. When the guard saw someone coming, he shouted, "Who?" The man replied, "It's me, I'll take a look at our master." When the guard saw the visitor, he said, "It turned out to be Wei San, why are you looking for you..." Suddenly the guard couldn't speak, and a small arrow was stabbed on the guard's neck, and the person was shaking. Wei San quickly supported him so that he would not make a sound to alarm the others.

The man in black quickly came over and dragged the guard's body away and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, he found a guard in front of him. Wei Sancai discovered that several men in black put a bamboo tube in their mouths and blew it gently. As soon as the black shadow flew towards the guard, the guard was dissatisfied and wanted to fall. Several men in black quickly stepped forward to support the guard. The person leading the way was so strange that he opened his mouth for a long time that he couldn't speak. When he came to his senses, the man in black had already arrived at the door of Shengbao's study.

Shengbao was still waiting anxiously in the study, and his fat body was sweating heavily. A concubine followed him to fan. Perhaps because she felt it was still hot, Shengbao took the fan over and slapped it hard.

The concubine next to her felt uncomfortable and said, "Master, you'd better sit down and wait." Master Wei Jin also said, "Sir, it's useless to be anxious about this matter. Just wait patiently for a while, and the two generals should have arrived at the place." Shengbao thought for a while and said, "No, I'm still worried. I have to go and see it myself. Come on, I'm going to leave the mansion."

With a clang, the door of the study was kicked open, and a group of men in black rushed in. Sheng Bao was shocked by the sudden incident. Before he could report anything had happened, he was pointed at by more than a dozen black guns, and the person sat back in. At this time, a voice came from outside: "Sir, where are you going?" After the words fell, Yang Yi was wearing black clothes and smiling, and slowly came in from outside. After all, Sheng Bao had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen all kinds of scenes. At this time, he also

I knew something was wrong, but I slowly calmed down. Faced with Yang Yi's sudden appearance, Shengbao's mind was turning rapidly. The only thing that was beneficial to him now was that Yang Yi brought few people. As long as he dragged on for a while, the guards outside would come in to check when they heard the sound, and they might be able to take the initiative back then. Thinking of these, Shengbao immediately smiled and said to Yang Yi: "Mr. Yang, which one are you singing? Is that woman Xiaoyue not in your favor? I will change it for you now."

Yang Yi's face collapsed and pointed at Sheng Bao with his finger, "I said Sheng Bao, stop acting anymore. Your people should have arrived at the post station now. It's a pity that I, Yang Yi, found it in time." Sheng Bao knew that the matter had been exposed. At this time, the guards outside heard the noise and rushed in with torches, illuminating the yard and surrounding the study. Seeing his own people coming, Sheng Bao couldn't help but become brave and stood up and said, "I, the surname Yang, took you to Beijing according to the emperor's will. Now you are on my territory, and those who know the knowledge will quickly release me. When I arrived in the capital, I would also say a few good words to you in front of the emperor."

Yang Yi sneered, "Shengbao, don't look at who I am. Then these words are used to coax me. If you have the affair, please let the subordinates outside come in. I will kill you first." After saying that, Yang Yi waved his hand, and the two new soldiers immediately pressed the guns against Shengbao's door. Shengbao's face was calm, but his legs were already trembling slightly. Yang Yi smiled and said to the two soldiers, "Please hold the gun firmly, be careful not to get out of fire." At this time, when the guards outside saw this situation, they surrounded him. Yang Yi looked outside, smiled disdainfully, and turned to Shengbao's hideousness.

"Let them all let go of the guys for me, otherwise I will kill you first." Seeing Yang Yi like this, Sheng Bao sat back in a scared position and quickly shouted to the soldiers outside, "Don't fucking come in and throw all the guys at me." Seeing Sheng Bao's order, the soldiers outside hesitated for a moment, looked at the leader of the team, and looked at the guy in his hand, and threw the knife in his hand unwillingly to the ground. Seeing this, the other soldiers also threw the swords and guns in their hands aside. Seeing that the soldiers outside the door compromised, Yang Yi said to Yu Xin beside him: "Release the signal flare."

Zhang Gong and Tan Qing were riding horses, and behind them were a group of fierce soldiers. Under the illumination of torches, the atmosphere outside the station seemed solemn.

"Sir, the entire inn is surrounded, so I guarantee that a fly will not go out." The soldier reported to Zhang Gong:

Zhang Gong smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, don't let Yang Yi run away. I'll pass my order, kill into the post station, and catch Yang Yi alive and reward 500 taels of silver." The generals of the soldiers responded, "Yes, sir." After saying that, a group of soldiers like tigers and wolfs were about to rush towards the gate.

With a sound of "Bang!", a gorgeous firework appeared in the sky. Zhang Gong turned around and saw that it was from Shengbao's house. Zhang Gong and Tan Qing muttered in his heart, but they didn't know what happened. Zhang Gong and Tan Qing discussed for a while, and decided to take Yang Yi and go back to see. After the discussion, they were about to give orders to enter the post station. At this time, they heard the soldiers behind him in an uproar, as messy as a pot of porridge. Zhang Gong and Tan Qing looked back and saw that the soldiers had automatically given up a way out from the middle. It turned out that Yang Yi and Shengbao were leaning close together intimately and walked over. Zhang Gong wondered: "Is this hot two people so close?"

Just thinking about it, Shengbao said, "Get all the brothers together." When Shengbao spoke, his expression was extremely strange, but it quickly returned to normal. Zhang Gong and Tan Qing knew that Shengbao had always been mysterious to show their profoundness. So when Shengbao said this, he had to do it and the soldiers gathered together one after another. In fact, Shengbao was not mysterious just now. He was hinting that Zhang Gong and others were in a bad situation. As a result, after Yang Yi noticed it, he used a guy to push his waist and eyes intimately. Shengbao was honest. The soldiers who had gathered stood together and waited for Shengbao's lecture. Shengbao and Yang Yi came to the gate of the inn and faced the generals.

Shengbao's eyes suddenly looked around the soldiers' door, and his face turned ugly. Zhang Gong and Tan Qing also found something was wrong. When they looked back, they realized that the two thousand troops they were carrying were surrounded by countless new corpses. When Zhang Gong saw this, he immediately wanted to pick up the guy. With a bang, Zhang Gong had already fallen off his horse, and there was a hole in his head, and the red and white were emerging outwards. Yang Yi pulled Shengbao and stepped forward to point to Zhang Gong's body and said, "You are all surrounded. Those who dare to resist, this is a role model." At this time, Shengbao completely collapsed beside Yang Yi like a deflated ball. The Qing army in Tongzhou City was mostly the Eight Banners and the Green Camp, fighting

The strength has always been poor, not even the Taiping Army, and its morale and fighting spirit have never been high. The soldiers saw that the commanders were like this. Some timid throw their weapons to the ground first, some of them took the lead, and others threw the weapons aside. Without the leader, and some of the generals who had been bribed, the 100,000 Qing troops laid down their weapons and surrendered overnight. Tongzhou was obtained without a fight, and the door to Beijing was opened. After occupying Tongzhou, Yang Yi immediately adopted the method of blocking the news and strictly blocking the news in Tongzhou City. The residents in Tongzhou City were not allowed to go out in the short term. Yang Yi was waiting, waiting for the good news for Li Xiucheng on the battlefield in the south-west.

The gunshots in Jiujiang City finally stopped after dawn. Li Xiucheng did not take the method of killing the Taiping Army, but left two city gates and let the Taiping Army escape. The main general was killed, leaving the Taiping Army without a leader. Although the Taiping Army in Jiujiang City had 200,000, most of them were newly recruited new recruits, with less than 50,000 veterans. Under the fierce attack of the new army, the Taiping Army quickly became disorganized. In addition to Peng Dashun's death, the Taiping Army, who had no fighting spirit, began to escape from the city gates. The 200,000 army fled more than 100,000 in one breath. After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Jiujiang City was easily occupied by the new army led by Li Xiucheng. Afterwards, Yang Yipeng commented on the battle in Jiujiang: "This is a classic battle that uses psychological warfare."

First, Li Xiucheng adopted the siege but not the attack. He took advantage of Shi Dakai's time to take care of Jiujiang and adopted the tactic of killing first and then fatigue on Jiujiang. Then he took advantage of the opportunity of the Taiping Army to attack and counterattack. The counterattack process also fully considered that most of the Taiping Army were new recruits. In order to avoid the trapped beasts fighting, Li Xiucheng did not completely surround Jiujiang and left a way for the Taiping Army to escape, so as to avoid the possibility of the Taiping Army fighting street battles with the New Army without a way to escape. After this battle, it was included in the textbooks of the New Army Military Academy.

Jiujiang was defeated, and the back doors of Nanchang and Wuchang were completely exposed to the new army. The base area where Shi Dakai worked hard to manage had no strategic depth, and was completely squeezed between the two cities of Nanchang and Wuchang. The Taiping Army's front line was a flat straight line. Shi Dakai was completely in a passive attack. The only thing that made Shi Dakai feel at ease was that Li Xiucheng did not take advantage of the situation to kill Nanchang and Wuchang, but sent an envoy to demand negotiations. In order to cooperate with Li Xiucheng's negotiations, Liu Mingchuan, who had been staying in Yingtan, also sent troops north and stationed troops at the city of Nanchang.

Through the Jiujiang Battle, Shi Dakai fully realized that his troops were far behind the new army in terms of equipment and quality. If this battle continues, Shi Dakai and all the Taiping Army will inevitably fail. After discussing with his subordinates, and through Li Xiucheng's active ceasefire attitude, Shi Dakai also felt Li Xiucheng's sincerity, so this time Shi Dakai finally agreed to have a dialogue with Li Xiucheng. Li Xiucheng expressed his sincerity. After receiving Shi Dakai's reply, he immediately decided to go to Wuchang in person to meet Shi Dakai.

A warship carried Li Xiucheng to Wuchang City. When the ship was docked at the dock of Wuchang City, Li Xiucheng took a deep breath, looked at the familiar city, and slowly walked down the boat. At this time, Li Xiucheng had already seen Shi Dakai with many subordinates greeting him on the dock. In just a year, Shi Dakai was much older and no longer as energetic as before. Although his figure was still strong and tall, his big waist was slightly hunched, and some white hair appeared on his temples. Maybe it was because Li Xiucheng did not kill the Taiping Army, maybe it was because Li Xiucheng did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Wuchang, so that Shi Dakai could concentrate on dealing with the Hunan Army, or maybe it was because Li Xiucheng, as the winner, could come to Wu alone.

Chang expressed great sincerity for the negotiations. When Shi Dakai saw Li Xiucheng, he felt a little grateful. Seeing Li Xiucheng off the boat, he quickly stepped forward to meet Li Xiucheng and shouted, "Xiucheng, is it always good?" Li Xiucheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this former superior, and he couldn't calm down. The two actually met again under this situation. Li Xiucheng looked at Shi Dakai's stretched hand and hurried up to hold it and said, "Wing King, are you okay?" After a simple greeting to each other, the two former comrades-in-arms, today's opponents, stood on the dock, without saying a word for a long time. The silent atmosphere was broken by the sound of cannons passing from afar. Shi Dakai let go of Li Xiucheng's hand and smiled helplessly. Li Xiucheng knew that this was the cannon of the Hunan Army bombarding Wuchang.

"Brother Xiucheng, please!!" Shi Dakai said politely:

"Please, King Wing!" Li Xiucheng called Shi Dakai the King Wing as always
