"Try Guangzhou?!"

Ge Yi was shocked by this sudden decision and jumped up from the ground with a "breaking" move. His injury was twitching so violently that his cheeks were twitching. He endured the huge pain and looked at Zhou Shixiang in surprise, shouting: "Master, didn't you agree to deal with Hahamu and go to beat Geng Jimao? Why are you going to beat Guangzhou again now?"

"Guangzhou is the provincial capital. We only have a few thousand people and we don't have any equipment to attack the city. How could we be able to fight?... If we deal with Geng Jimao, Mo General would be very confident and make this King Jingnan like General Jingnan become a headless corpse. But if we attack Guangzhou, Mo General would be very confident."

Tie Yi was also confused, wondering why Zhou Shixiang suddenly decided to give up the weakest Geng Jimao, and instead wanted to attack Guangzhou, a city several times stronger than Xinhui City. With the current strength of the Taiping Army, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to win Guangzhou.

Tieyi couldn't figure it out and couldn't think about it.

"Will the Grandmaster think about it again?"

Zhao Sihai frowned and advised: "If you don't solve the two Qing troops in Geng Jimao's letter, you will go to attack Guangzhou. If you can't take Guangzhou and Xiangshan is occupied by Geng and Shang again, wouldn't we be unable to advance and retreat under the city of Guangzhou and lose our foundation? The brothers who died in battle today died in vain?"

Shao Jiugong did not say anything, but the expression on his face clearly told Zhou Shixiang that he also disagreed with the fight against Guangzhou.

The opposition of the generals was not as expected by Zhou Shixiang. According to reason, people should be sent to Geng Jimao immediately in the name of Hahamu, and asked him to come to Sanxiang to meet with Hahamu immediately. Then the Taiping Army waited for the effort and took advantage of the great victory to eat Geng Jimao's journey.

The Qing army was defeated by two routes. Even if Shang Zhixin was brave enough to survive in Xiangshan, he would not be able to stay in Xiangshan again. His only choice was to withdraw troops and retreat back to Guangzhou immediately. In this way, the Qing army's encirclement and suppression of Xiangshan was declared a failure. But this also means that the Taiping Army lost the best opportunity to seize Guangzhou.

You should know that Guangzhou City is the most empty since the Qing army entered Guangdong. Suna had already interrogated the surrendered Manzhou soldiers. Hahamu brought out all the troops in the city. Geng Jimao also dimmed his Jingnan vassal and sent six of the nine Niulu under Shang Kexi vassal. In order to gather the right army for his son, he also transferred 2,000 Green Camp soldiers from Zhaoqing. Now the Qing army in Guangzhou City will not exceed 2,000 people.

Although the Shaowu court sent all the elite troops to Zhaoqing because of the civil war with the Yongli regime, there were at least 10,000 soldiers in the city. In this way, they were successfully attacked by more than a dozen cavalrymen of Li Chengdong. Now, Zhou Shixiang had no reason not to fight for the Qing army in Guangzhou, which was less than 2,000 in Guangzhou. If this opportunity is missed, the Taiping Army will attack Guangzhou next time. But it will really rely on human life to fill the moat in Guangzhou.

"Aren't you all looking forward to fighting Guangzhou? Why are you scared now when I decided to take you to fight? "Zhou Shixiang smiled and looked at the four generals.

"Scholar, I'm not afraid, but this is a bit too dangerous, right?"

Ge Yi disagreed with Zhou Shixiang's words. He was not afraid of fighting Guangzhou, but felt that there was no need for this at all. The current situation was very beneficial to the Taiping Army, so he had to lure Geng Jimao to annihilate it, and the Qing army would no longer be able to pose a threat to Xiangshan. At that time, the Taiping Army would fight whenever he wanted to fight Guangzhou, and fight wherever he wanted. It would be better than being so dangerous now. If he couldn't win the Guangzhou city, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts and so many brothers were killed in vain?

"Master, we are not afraid of Qing Yao, but we just fought with the Manzhou Tartars. Although we won, the casualties of each battalion were quite serious. We still have the advantage of military strength to deal with Geng Jimao. But we are really not good enough to fight Guangzhou...Master, the last general, as long as you raise an army in Luoding, has long been locked on his waist. If he fails, he will become a good man. If he dies, there is nothing to say. But the general's decision is too risky and cannot agree to the last general." Zhao Sihai made his attitude directly. He firmly disagreed with fighting Guangzhou.

Tieyi thought for a while and said, "If the Grand Marshal really wants to decide to attack Guangzhou, the General of the Last Army can only follow the orders. But Guangzhou is the provincial capital, and the General of the Last Army does not have enough gunpowder to explode the city wall. Could it be that the General of the General of the Last Army asks his brothers to take their lives to climb the city wall in Guangzhou?"

"No, I didn't ask you to take your lives to climb the city walls of Guangzhou. I have a better way." Zhou Shixiang smiled, not caring about his subordinates' doubts and opposition to his decision.

"What can I do with the Grand Marshal?" Tie Yi said in confusion.

"Suna, tell them how Li Chengdong occupied Guangzhou back then."

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

Suna took two steps forward, bowed to Tieyi, Ge Yi and the others and said, "Dear generals, when Li Chengdong attacked Guangzhou, the situation faced by him was even more dangerous than us, and he would definitely not be able to take it down by forcibly siegeing the city. For this reason, Li Chengdong selected 300 elite soldiers to sneak into Huashan, the north of Guangzhou City, and sent more than 10 cavalrymen to pretend to be the Ming army to report the news. After entering Guangzhou City, the dozen or more cavalry immediately took off their disguises and exposed their braids, waved their swords and shouted, "The Qing army is here!", and then killed people in the downtown city. As a result, the whole city of Guangzhou collapsed. The Ming army guarding the city was caught off guard and had no idea how many Qing soldiers came in the city. When they reacted, Li Chengdong's brigade of Qing soldiers had already rushed in from the east gate and seized Guangzhou City with almost no effort."

After hearing Suna's words, Tieyi suddenly realized: "What do you mean is to tell us to learn from Li Chengdong?"

“That’s right!”

Suna nodded with an indescribable excitement on his face. He said, "I am willing to bring all the troops into the city in the name of winning. All the generals lead the brigade in the back. After I get up in the city, I will respond. Guangzhou is within my control!"

Tieyi, Zhao Sihai, Shao Jiugong and others looked at each other, all wondering whether this strategy was feasible.

"Why can't we do what Li Chengdong can do? At that time, there were at least 10,000 Ming troops in Guangzhou, but now there are only two or three thousand Qing troops in the city. The only ones that can be fought are the three Niulu Han troops under Shang Kexi's vassal. The others are all green camp soldiers, which is not enough for us to fight. As long as we enter the city, the Qing army will never be able to drive us out again! ...You see!"

Zhou Shixiang asked the blind Li to bring the map. He pointed to the map and said to the generals: "If we eat Geng Jimao's two thousand men, Shang Zhixin on the right will definitely return to Guangzhou, and his subordinates will have five or six thousand Qing troops. Once this Qing army retreats to Guangzhou City, if we want to fight Guangzhou, we will have to suffer huge casualties. Therefore, we must not miss this opportunity!"

Zhou Shixiang suddenly looked up, stared at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "We must fight! If we occupy Guangzhou, we will have half of the province's territory. I, the general of Guangzhou, can be considered a true name!"

"Damn it, this transaction is a bit big! Damn, if this ticket is done, it will be really big!"

Ge Yi swallowed his throat and swallowed again and again. He looked at Zhou Shixiang's face and on the map. He couldn't help but whisper to Zhao Sihai and the others beside him: "I'm so moved when I look. What do you say?"

Zhao Sihai thought for a moment and asked, "What should I do if Monk Geng Jimao's letter?"

"Send people to send all the cut Tatar heads back to Xiangshan, and ask Qi Hao and Jiang Tuzi to hang these Tatar heads on the city gate. I don't believe it. Shang Zhixin and Geng Jimao can still bite the bullet and attack the city if they know that Hahamu is finished. They are not afraid that we will cut off his retreat! Besides, Xiangshan City is not paper-made. There are so many cannons on the top of the city, which is enough for the Qing army to drink! Qi Hao and Jiang Tuzi are no longer capable. Keep the head office for three or five days! With these three or five days, we have taken Guangzhou. If we turn around, we can deal with the letter of Geng Jimao!"

Zhao Sihai thought about it carefully and nodded. He had no other worries.

"Then what should we eat when we go to Guangzhou?" Ge Yi suddenly asked an important question nervously. Eating is indeed a big deal.

Zhou Shixiang gave him a blank look: "There is food in Guangzhou for you to eat! You have to eat big fish and meat every meal!"

"Hey, Ge Laoliu, you are so mean. With the two treasure houses of Pingnan Prince's Mansion and Jingnan Prince's Mansion, are you still afraid that you will not have anything to eat?" Zhao Sihai smiled.

"Just have food!" Ge Yi grinned: "We are in danger of wealth and honor, and we will be in danger of death. The man is dead and the birds are facing the sky. Grandmaster, I will listen to you. Let's learn from Li Chengdong to fight Guangzhou! When the city is broken, the old thief Shang Kexi will be cut alive!"

"Shang Kexi would never have dreamed that Hahamu had been wiped out, nor did we expect that we would not be going to deal with the other two Qing troops now, but heading straight to his home! One is prepared and the other is unprepared, and with Manzhou soldiers like Suna as their internal support, the chances of winning Guangzhou are very high."

"The King of Jin burned Kong Youde in Guilin, and we burned Shang Kexi in Guangzhou!"

Tie Yi, Zhao Sihai, and Ge Yi were all moved by Zhou Shixiang, and their hearts were so excited that they could kill a prince like King Jin, and they were indescribable excitement.

But Shao Jiugong asked: "There are also green camp commanders led by Hu Qili in the north. They are blocking the front. How can we go to Guangzhou?"

Zhou Shixiang did not answer, but Su Na laughed at the side: "The general named Hu is a coward. Hahamu asked him to lead his troops up, but he didn't dare to come. Now Hahamu is defeated, and he dare not fight with us. Beizhi thought that the man surnamed Hu might have already taken people back now."

"Run?" Tie Yi was shocked: "If he ran back to Guangzhou, wouldn't Shang Kexi know that Hahamu was killed by us, so how could we attack Guangzhou?"

"The person surnamed Hu dared not run back to Guangzhou. He has been staying in Shunde before, and now he must be running towards Shunde."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one, what if the Hu surnamed goes to Guangzhou?"

"Then let's compete with him who can run faster!"

Zhou Shixiang put away the map, "All the baggage is here, the personal military camp, the second infantry battalion on the left and right were all light-fitted, and followed me straight to Guangzhou." He shouted again: "Blind!"

"exist!"

The blind Li was shocked and replied loudly.

Zhou Shixiang looked at him and asked him: "You are thinking about getting married to the women in Manzhou all day long. Now let's fight Guangzhou. There are many women in Manzhou in the city. I ask you, do you dare to bring people into Guangzhou?"

"Dare, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!" The blind Li's face was full of excitement, and he suddenly stood there, looking embarrassed: "But what should I do if I can't ride a horse?"

"Then tie you up right away!"

"As long as you can tie it up, I'm willing to do anything as long as I can take Guangzhou!" The blind Li grinned and saw that Su Na's face was a little bad, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, you are my brother now, brothers and wife should not be bullied. I will not bully my sister-in-law, but I will protect her."

"Then thank you brothers."

Suna looked embarrassed. He knew what the outcome of the women and children in Manzhou would be like after the Taiping Army broke through Guangzhou, but he had no way out. His former compatriots were already his biggest mortal enemy. In order to survive, he could only go to the dark side. Fortunately, Marshal Zhou promised him that no surrendered Man Bing family members would be allowed to invade, which made him feel a little better. After all, in addition to enjoying the life of a person, the most important thing is his family. The Taiping Army can protect him and his family and also give him a future, which is considered to be a kindness and righteousness.

"Master, please give me the order, brothers will do your best to do this!"
