Emperor Xianfeng received information that not only the northeastern reinforcements of Montenegro were blocked, but also the news that they failed to attack the mountain and suffered heavy losses, but were besieged.

It turns out that since Wei Changhui's troops have increased greatly, and there is Mai Ke by his side to escort him, the casualties in the battle, as long as they are not the kind that lose their heads, can be immediately intact and improved, how can he not take advantage of this opportunity to fight against those opponents who must be beaten?

So, he left only a small number of people to guard the camp and guard the prisoners, and he led an army of 200,000 to rush towards Zhou Wenyu.

Suddenly, Zhou Wenyu fell into the encirclement, he tried his best to arrange the defense, and he didn't know how long he could hold out.

This situation was also transferred to the emperor.

How could he not be in a hurry, so he had a strong command that he had to be rescued.

The emperor's decree is a holy decree, and the holy decree is the supreme will, so it does not matter whether it is right or wrong, and whether it is possible to do it or not, it must be obeyed.

The first hurdle is the Regent.

The most critical factor in the efficiency and effectiveness of the execution is also the Regency.

Although he can't guarantee success, bad things can be 100% guaranteed.

As long as he "left the holy decree in the middle and did not issue it", the emperor's decree would end without a problem.

But he wouldn't do that in this matter.

Like Emperor Xianfeng, he hoped that all kinds of reinforcements would arrive in Huaibei and rescue the emperor from the siege.

To rescue the reinforcements in the northeast of Montenegro, the first person to be responsible is Qi Shan, who must bear the main responsibility.

Since the last imperial council, when it was determined that Qi Shan was in charge of reinforcements from the north, the Regent sent his old man to the northeast.

However, because Zhou Wenyu's advance force was advancing too fast, they actually missed it.

Now, Qishan is in the middle of the second echelon of reinforcements from the northeast.

This second echelon of reinforcements. It also belongs to the selected elite, with a strength of one million people.

He already knew that the advance force was blocked in Montenegro, so he urged the army to move quickly and not let them fight alone.

Just then, the Regent arrived!

With Qi Shan's keen sense of officialdom, he immediately realized. Broken!

There is no Yan zhòng thing happening, and it is not worth letting the emperor's closest people come out in person!

Sure enough, good things don't work, bad things are spirits!

Without saying a word, he immediately conveyed the holy decree: "The emperor has an order! Order you to rush to Montenegro to rescue Zhou Wenyu and his party! If there is a mistake, you will not be spared! From now on, you only have four hours!"

Looking at the spirit's gloomy and murderous eyes. Qi Shan shuddered in his heart, his knees weakened, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed, and said: "Weichen accepts the order!

Whether it was the messenger or the recipient, both of them knew that the distance from Montenegro here would be at a normal pace. At least six hours!

Of course, this time condition was added by the spirit, but he had a good reason!

The first is that he has power. As long as the emperor fulfills his purpose, and the spirit must ensure that this purpose is realized, that is to say, he has the right to impose some restrictions on this purpose.

Second, the Regent must add such a condition, which is that there must be a time limit, otherwise it will be realized after a hundred years. Nothing is useful.

Third, he came from that road just now, and knew that after hard work, it was possible for Qi Shan to complete the task within this time requirement.

"Hmph! if you can't complete the task. After delaying the emperor's major event, he cut off his head and sent it to the emperor! Don't trouble me again!" Before leaving, the spirit warned Qi Shan again.

Qi Shan didn't dare to delay, and as soon as the spirit left, he immediately got up from the ground, and the governor's majesty immediately returned to him, and shouted: "All of them, run forward! You must reach Montenegro within three hours! Whoever dares to lag behind, I will cut off someone's head!"

Qi Shan shortened by another hour!

The four-hour limit of the Regent includes the time to clear the siege, if it is all spent on the road, how can there be time to solve the siege!

In order to ensure that he arrived on time, Qi Shan converted all his 1,000-man guards into law enforcement teams, and said to them: "Now I appoint you as a military justice team, and anyone who violates military discipline and affects the army to reach Montenegro on time will be beheaded immediately!"

A thousand Judge Advocate replied loudly, "Obey!"

Saying this, they have run out half a mile away, and they no longer have time to do things step by step.

Now he was rushing back, he had gone directly from Xuzhou to Montenegro, only thirty miles between the two places, and then he had gone from Montenegro to see Qishan again.

From Qishan, to Montenegro, it is sixty miles away.

Although he arranged for Qi Shan to rescue Montenegro, he always felt unsteady, and he was really not at ease with Qi Shan.

In my memory, this old gentleman has not won once.

No, in order to have some guarantee of the realization of the emperor's will, he must arrange a second army to go to the rescue and response.

He is also under pressure now, although he has the absolute trust of the emperor, if he always talks nonsense, but in fact he has achieved nothing, the emperor's trust in him will definitely be greatly reduced! After all, the emperor is not stupid.

As he galloped, he thought about who to send to the second echelon and to Montenegro.

In fact, during this period of time, except for occasionally helping others, such as the last time he helped Xu Guangjin, he has always been a good six masters together, and the implementation of another resolution of the last imperial meeting is to organize another governor's group, including those governors who have not lost so far.

And the leader of this governor's group is the sixth master, and the people and horses in the hands of the sixth master are also the largest among these governors, about 700,000 or so.

This group formation process is quite smooth, because the sixth master has a prominent reputation, and more importantly, he is the only one in the royal family who is a leader in both civil and military affairs.

In this way, he has convincing capital.

From the point of view of military strength, among his 700,000, the most powerful White Russian mercenary regiment has a total of 400,000, both in terms of overall strength and individual ability, which are superior to other Qing army troops, and even comparable to the most powerful Heavenly Army troops!

Therefore, the prestige of the sixth master was further enhanced, and his own overall concept was also greatly strengthened.

These few days are actually a run-in period between the spirit and the sixth master, and when the governors of each family have visited, everyone has joined the governor's group and accepted the command of the sixth master, and the run-in between the two has also been completed.

The combination of these two really complemented each other, and if the two wanted to do something consistently, there was generally no opposition within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Now, the Regent has set his sights on the mercenary of the White Russians!

If 200,000 White Russian cavalry are sent to aid Montenegro, it is estimated that this thing will be successful.

Regent made up his mind, no longer delayed, and came to the sixth master in the next second.

As soon as he talked about the relevant situation and his own plans, the sixth master immediately agreed!

This is the benefit of tacit understanding after successful running-in!

There is no need to go on long speeches and try to convince the other side, because everyone is thinking and looking at the problem on the same basis.

The sixth master immediately called the commander of the White Russian mercenaries, Alexandrovich, and ordered him to lead 200,000 elites to Montenegro and pick up the northeast reinforcements there!

"Obey!" replied Aleksandrovich, very professionally, but immediately revealed the essential characteristics of the mercenary, and said with a grin: "Silver?

Since it is called a mercenary, every qiē is about price, otherwise it is not a violation of the rules of the industry?

The sixth master didn't think it was angry, and replied happily: "Take a person and give you ten taels of silver! I wish you a great fortune!"

Aleksandrovich immediately smiled, this price was unprecedentedly high, and it was no more than five taels before!

The spirit added to him: "You only have three hours to complete the task! If you exceed, the silver will be halved! If you advance, there will be another reward, for every ten minutes in advance, you will be given an extra silver tael!"

"That's it!"

At first, the Regent was dismissive of things like silver, but seeing that silver had so much magic over these mercenaries, he unconsciously took advantage of it.

Aleksandrovich pinched his fingers, it was cheap to fight like this, and he smiled even more and gladly obeyed the order.

In this way, Wei Changhui, who was besieging Zhou Wenyu, didn't know that within two or three hours, a strong enemy would arrive!

Wei Changhui didn't know, but Mai Ke knew it clearly!

His intelligence network all over the country, including Wu Renxiao's system, as well as those under the jurisdiction of the beggar gang, are all operating precisely, and such a large military operation has long been detected by them, and according to the transmission system, after being summarized and summarized, it was sent to Mai Ke's hands.

Knowing that the enemy was coming from two directions, Mai Ke decided to come up with a plan, that is, in the overall occupation of the entire encirclement point reinforcements, and then a local encirclement point reinforcements!

He was thinking about how to deal with the White Russian mercenaries in the hands of the sixth master!

400,000 together, it seems that there are more of them, after all, these people are very strong in individual combat ability, and it is disrespectful to fight so many people together!

Divided into two, I dealt with 200,000 first, but there is no such problem!

Okay, that's it!

You have set four hours for success, and I have set four hours for you to be wiped out!

So, Mai Ke began to arrange troops!

In the first step, he sued Wei Changhui that he only had two and a half hours to completely solve the besieged bald Zhou gang!

In the second step, he mobilized Hu Yihuang's cavalry to stop the White Russian mercenaries between Montenegro and Xuzhou!

In fact, this line was originally their line of defense.

However, in the past, it was an offensive line against Asahiju, but now it is blocking the enemy coming out of Asahiju.

Mai Ke's request to Hu Yihuang is to go all out and eat this White Russian army as a whole!

As for other places, they can be temporarily abandoned, it is estimated that the Qing army will not return to the north on a large scale, they must be difficult to open, and it is important to rescue the emperor!

In the third step, Lin Fengxiang's corps, which was defending Xuzhou from the east, except for a few people, all drove to the north of Montenegro and intercepted Qishan's million-strong army there!.
