Hong Xiuquan was shocked, Yu Ji was shocked, Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui were shocked, and all the monarchs and ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were shocked and stunned by this appalling news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even Sima Hui, who was light and breezy, changed his expression, and glanced at Xu Shu, and there was a deep strange color in the eyes of the master and apprentice.

"What do you say, tell me again!?" Hong Xiuquan clenched his fists and shouted.

"The world, the king of the east...... Army...... The army is gone. The holy soldier replied tremblingly.

There was a deathly silence in the tent, followed by an uproar.

Hong Xiuquan sat there with an angry face, and the ministers on the left and right were all shocked and stunned, shouting that it was impossible and no one wanted to believe it.

You must know that since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, they have been invincible and invincible from attacking Jiaozhou to entering Jingnan.

And now, the 40,000-strong army has been wiped out?

Moreover, the person who commanded the army was still the most outstanding commander of the Heavenly Kingdom, Dongwang, and was assisted by Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng, two famous generals of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Such an incredible defeat was beyond the comprehension of the monarchs and ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how could they not be shocked and stunned, and refused to believe it.

"It shouldn't be the failure of burning the enemy camp, the old man's prediction is right, but the southwest wind blew all night last night, the wind helped the fire, and the fire attack should not fail." Sima Hui calmed down first and asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Hui, our army did succeed in burning the enemy camp, but the land battle was completely annihilated." The holy soldier replied.

Sima Hui was surprised, so he thought that since he had made correct preparations and succeeded in burning the enemy camp, the Wei army would fall into chaos, and Yang Xiuqing's land surprise army should easily break the Wei army, but how could the whole army be annihilated.

At that moment, Sima Hui ordered the holy soldier to tell the details of the entire battle.

The holy soldiers explained how the Wei army sacrificed their warships to induce their own army to attack, and how they were prepared, and the large army withdrew from the camp first, and lined up on the avenue to meet the army led by the king of the east.

Later, how the king of the east forcibly attacked, but was ambushed by the cavalry of the Wei army, the 40,000 army would rather die than retreat, and was killed cleanly, and the king of the east and the king of the west were forced to retreat, and the whole army was annihilated.

In the holy tent, from Hong Xiuquan to Sima Hui, everyone fell into a state of surprise and confusion.

They all thought that Yang Xiuqing's strategy was ingenious and could kill the Wei army by surprise, but they never expected that the Wei army had expected it, and instead took their army and used a hundred warships as bait to lure them to take the initiative to attack and fall into the ambush trap.

"People say that the potter is treacherous, the old man is a teacher today, no wonder my two students will be repeatedly defeated under his hands......"

Sima Hui, who understood, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, with a bit of admiration and helplessness in his eyebrows.

It's just that he was still a little confused in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "It's just that even if this pottery thief predicted that our army would attack by surprise, how could he calculate it so accurately, you must know that from the wind to the fire attack, it was only more than an hour, how did he make such a precise deployment, could it be that he could predict the change of the wind and clouds?" ”

As soon as Sima Hui's exclamation at his own words, Hong Xiuquan, Wei Changhui and other heavenly monarchs and ministers were even more amazed, and they couldn't believe that the pottery merchants could speculate on the changes in the wind and clouds, which was comparable to Sima Hui's ability to observe the heavens.

Hong Xiuquan was even more angry that his face turned slightly red, and a trace of shame burst out in his sunken sockets.

Just a moment ago, he was "unashamed" to claim that he had the ability to predict the future, and that it would be a big victory when he saw the East King.

As a result, a quarter of an hour later, the potter actually slapped him in the face with the god-like ability to see through the changes in the wind and clouds.

This humiliation was deeply engraved in Hong Xiuquan's heart, making him hate the potter more and more.

Just when their monarchs and ministers were shocked here, the tent curtain was lifted, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and Shi Dakai, the king of the west, both stepped into the holy tent.

Hong Xiuquan's eyes widened, and he wanted to be angry at Yang Xiuqing, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

He thought of Yang Xiuqing's power to cover the sky with one hand, and thought of Shi Dakai's lofty position in the hearts of the soldiers, so he didn't want to reprimand these two too much, so he only asked coldly: "You guys are back." ”

Shi Dakai had a look of shame on his face, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Hong Xiuquan, and said ashamedly: "The minister lost this battle, and countless soldiers were broken, which damaged the prestige of the kingdom of heaven, and asked the king of heaven to punish the crime." ”

Shi Dakai's initiative to plead guilty made Hong Xiuquan feel a little more comfortable in his heart, he didn't speak, and glanced at Yang Xiuqing who was standing.

He was counting on Yang Xiuqing to be ashamed of his defeat in this battle, so that he could naturally reprimand Yang Xiuqing, even if he was jealous and did not dare to punish Yang Xiuqing, but he also demonstrated the authority of his heavenly king and suppressed Yang Xiuqing's arrogance that rose too quickly.

Yang Xiuqing did not kneel, and his face was not half ashamed, but stood tall and said proudly: "Heavenly King, the minister thinks that although our army has lost more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, our army has not been defeated, on the contrary, the minister thinks that we have won." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the big tent, and his surprised eyes shot at Yang Xiuqing.

Hong Xiuquan's face sank even more, and his angry eyes glared at Yang Xiuqing, secretly angry that he was too conceited, obviously he suffered a big defeat, and he didn't plead guilty, but he even dared to say that he was a big victory.

Hong Xiu was annoyed, but he still didn't dare to show it, and only said lightly: "I want to hear how we win." ”

Yang Xiuqing said to himself: "I have a million holy soldiers in heaven, and the death and wounded of only 40,000 are insignificant. And in this battle, the soldiers of our army are going forward one after another, even if they fight to the last person, they will never retreat, which greatly promotes the tenacious will of our heavenly saints, and will deeply shock the Wei demon, so that they can win a battle on the surface, but in their hearts they have been deeply afraid of the power of our army. ”

As soon as these words came out, the original uproar in the holy tent immediately fell silent, and most of the people looked at Yang Xiuqing's eyes, no longer looking at a loser, as if they had been persuaded by Yang Xiuqing's words.

Even Sima Hui nodded slightly, secretly thinking: "This East King is really amazing, the black can be turned white by him, no wonder he can cover the sky with power, even the King of Heaven is afraid of it......"

Hong Xiuquan clenched his fists secretly, the green tendons on his face twitched inadvertently, and he could naturally hear it in his heart that Yang Xiuqing was arguing with strong words and making excuses for his failure.

It's just that although his heart is as clear as a mirror, Hong Xiuquan can't find a loophole, so he can only swallow the anger in his stomach.

After taking a light breath, the corners of Hong Xiuquan's mouth even barely squeezed out a smile, nodded and said: "Although a good one is defeated, he still wins, the king of the east is reasonable, this battle has made Tao Demon see the iron will of my heavenly holy soldiers, Tao Demon is already frightened, are you afraid that you will not be able to defeat him in the future." ”

Hong Xiuquan said so, and Wei Changhui and others on the left and right naturally hurriedly agreed, and the emotions in the big tent rose for a while, as if Yang Xiuqing had returned with a big victory.

The corners of Yang Xiuqing's mouth flashed a trace of pride, but Shi Da opened his fingers and said sharply: "Heavenly King, those 40,000 soldiers are not afraid of life and death, and they are better than their lives to promote the military prestige of our Heavenly Kingdom. ”

In the big tent, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn again, and there was silence for a while.

Hong Xiuquan's brows condensed slightly, and he shot into Shi Dakai's gaze, revealing a little complaint, and asked, "King Xi, did you really retreat and flee from the battle?" ”

Shi Dakai arched his hand and said: "Heavenly King, the minister just feels that it is important to promote the military prestige of my heavenly kingdom, but in exchange for sacrificing the lives of 40,000 brothers and sisters, the price is too great, so the minister took matters into his own hands and chose to withdraw the troops, but unfortunately the minister was still half a step late, and only took a few thousand brothers to fight out of the encirclement, and the remaining 40,000 brothers were all killed by Wei Demon." ”

When the words fell, Yang Xiuqing shouted: "Shi Dakai, you are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, and you run away without authorization, in front of the Heavenly King, how dare you quibble!" ”

Shi Dakai was also forced to fire, turned around and glared at Yang Xiuqing angrily, and asked rhetorically: "King Dong, you said that I was greedy for life and afraid of death, so why did you flee in the end, why didn't you fight and die on the battlefield with those 40,000 soldiers to promote the military might of my heavenly kingdom, could it be that you are also greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Shi Dakai, you-"

Yang Xiuqing was choked and speechless, glaring at Shi Dakai with an angry face, obviously not expecting that this loyal King of the West would have the determination to break the net, and dare to contradict himself in front of so many people.

Hong Xiuquan looked at the two kings who were arguing and accusing each other, his face was gloomy and ugly on the surface, but a sneer quietly flashed in his sunken eyes.

Seeing that the two of them were almost arguing, Hong Xiuquan raised his hand and shouted: "Okay, you two shut up for me, in the holy tent is so noisy, do you still have the king of heaven in your eyes!" ”

Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai were slightly shocked, so they had to endure it and didn't dare to speak again.

"King of the West, I have ordered the King of the East to control the kings and generals of the Kingdom of Heaven, how dare you not listen to the orders of the King of the East!" Hong Xiuquan shouted at Shi Dakai.

Shi Dakai didn't dare to argue anymore, so he had to bow his head sullenly.

Yang Xiuqing was proud, cocked his nose and aimed at Shi Dakai, thinking that Hong Xiuquan was going to support him and speak.

"King Dong, you are really right." Hong Xiuquan changed his words, and looked at Yang Xiuqing reproachfully, "You are the king of the east, you should have the bearing of the king of the east, but you quarrel with the king of the west in this sacred tent, just like the shrew scolding the street, where is the system!" ”

Yang Xiuqing's face changed, obviously he didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to not stand on his side, but to play fifty boards on each side, and took the opportunity to reprimand himself again, demonstrating the authority of his heavenly king.
