Shi Dakai didn't give Hong Xiuquan a chance to fight back, and continued to scold: "Hong Xiuquan, you hypocrite who pretends to be a god, what kind of god do you pretend to be, how many husbands and wives are separated and cannot be reunited, but you yourself have three wives and four concubines, how many women have you abused......"

Shi Dakai was indignant, and counted Hong Xiuquan's hypocrisy, the evil of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and all kinds of crimes and deceptions in one go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hong Xiuquan was reprimanded until his face was red, his chest was filled with anger, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and couldn't even scold a word.

Yang Xiuqing and other kings on the left and right were exposed by Shi Dakai, and they were all ashamed and angry, extremely embarrassed, and didn't know what to do.

And the Taiping soldiers at the head of the city were greatly hit by their spirits, all of them were shocked, and the wavering color in their eyes became stronger and stronger, and the eyes that looked at Hong Xiuquan were a little less worship and fanaticism, and a little more suspicious.

After counting Hong Xiuquan's hypocrisy and deception, Shi Dakai finally said sharply: "Brothers and sisters in the city, you should recognize Hong Xiuquan's face by now, what are you waiting for, do you want such a beast to continue to work hard?" Open the city gate and return to Dawei, the Son of Heaven is merciful and generous, except for Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, the first evil thief, other innocent brothers and sisters who have been deceived, the Son of Heaven can not blame the past! ”

Expose Hong Xiuquan's hypocrisy, and then recruit those Taiping army men and women, this is the task that the potter gave to Shi Dakai.

At the head of the city, thousands of Taiping soldiers and soldiers, one by one, whispered and discussed, as if they had been awakened by Shi Dakai and began to think again.

The pair of questioning eyes shot on Hong Xiuquan's body, but it made him feel a pain in his back, and it also woke Hong Xiuquan up from anger.

"Wait for Hugh to listen to the stone thief's picking, immediately release the arrow, and shoot the traitor to death!" Hong Xiuquan roared and shouted at the bottom of the rest.

In the past, Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, ordered that the holy soldiers of the Taiping Army did not dare to disobey, and they all rushed to carry it out.

"Are you all deaf, how dare you disobey the order of the King of Heaven, do you also want to be traitors to Heaven like that stone thief?" Yang Xiuqing scolded sharply.

At this time, he had to stand up and maintain the majesty of Hong Xiuquan's Huangtian God, which was also helpless, because he knew very well that the power of these heavenly kings was nominally given by the Heavenly King, and if Hong Xiuquan's identity was questioned, then the legitimacy of their power would also be shaken.

Those soldiers were woken up by Yang Xiuqing, and in fear, they hurriedly picked up their bows and crossbows, and prepared to shoot at Shi Da in front of the city.

Shi Da expected that he would come to this point, and shouted loudly: "Hong Xiuquan, you pretended to be a ghost and deceived the people of Jiaozhou, how many brothers and sisters have been ruined, you have done a lot of evil, and sooner or later you will be retributed, I, Shi Dakai, am waiting to see the day when you die and lose your reputation and leave a stench for 10,000 years!" ”

With that, Shi Da turned around and galloped away.

Whoosh whoosh -

Arrows rained down, but they were left behind by Shi Dakai, and they withdrew from the range of arrow rain in time.

Shi Dakai retreated to his own position, bowed his hand to the potter, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the minister has done his best to persuade those soldiers, but they have been poisoned too deeply by Hong Xiuquan, and I am afraid that the minister's words can wake them up." ”

"It doesn't matter." The potter flicked his hand and said with a faint smile: "Your appearance today is enough to severely damage Hong Xiuquan's prestige and shake the faith of those Taiping soldiers, and this is enough." ”

At that time, the potters did not waste time, and since the goal had been achieved, they decisively ordered the whole army to withdraw and return to the camp.

The Great Wei soldiers lined up in an orderly formation and slowly retreated towards the camp.

The potter stared at the head of the city, as if he could see how angry and angry Hong Xiuquan of the city was, and with a sneer, he turned his horse and walked away.

At the head of the city, the atmosphere was as silent as death.

Hong Xiuquan stood at the head of the city, watching Shi Dakai go away after humiliating himself, and the qi and blood in his chest were tumbling like a tide, like a volcano as fierce and turbulent.

"Shi Dakai, Shi Dakai, Shi Da-"

Under the extreme anger, the angry blood in the chest gushed out uncontrollably, and a mouthful of old blood directly reached the throat, Hong Xiuquan screamed in pain, and opened his mouth to squirt out a mouthful of blood arrows.

Yang Xiuqing and the other kings were taken aback, and before they could react, Hong Xiuquan had already fainted, and his body fell backwards.

"Heavenly King!"

Everyone was taken aback, rushed up, hurriedly supported Hong Xiuquan, who had fainted, and hurriedly carried down the city.

……

When Hong Xiuquan woke up, he found that he was already lying on the bed, and the East King and other courtiers gathered in front of the couch, all worried.

When they saw Hong Xiuquan wake up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to say hello.

"Shi Dakai is a traitor, I have to break his body into ten thousand pieces!" As soon as Hong Xiuquan came to his senses, anger surged to his head, and he couldn't help but scold again.

Yang Xiuqing waited for him to scold for a while, and then persuaded: "The king of heaven is angry, that stone thief is just a clown who jumps off the beam, his performance today is clearly instructed by the Tao demon, and the intention is no more obvious, it is nothing more than to use the stone thief to disturb the hearts of our army, if the king of heaven is angry with his holy body, then he has fallen into the trick of the Tao demon." ”

Hong Xiuquan's anger subsided slightly.

Yang Xiuqing took advantage of the situation and said: "Heavenly King, now that we have successfully retreated to Qujiang Pass, with this Xiongguan, even if the Tao Demon has a million troops, he does not want to set foot on the Guancheng for half a step, so the minister thinks that our current strategy should also be changed." ”

Hong Xiuquan's eyes moved slightly, brushed his hand, and motioned for Yang Xiuqing to continue.

Yang Xiuqing and Pan revealed his new strategy, that is, he led part of the troops and horses, continued to hold the Qujiang Pass, used the Guancheng as a barrier, and used limited troops to nail the Wei army under the Guancheng.

As for Hong Xiuquan himself, there is no need to spend here anymore, when he leads the rest of the soldiers and horses to withdraw to the hinterland of Jiaozhou and return to Tianjing.

On the one hand, Hong Xiuquan had to return to Tianjing to recuperate from the internal injuries of anger and blood, and on the other hand, he had to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, reorganize the soldiers, gather grain and grass, and restore the strength of the Taiping army.

In the end, when the Wei army division was under the old city, there were changes in the north, and the army's heart was shaken, Hong Xiuquan led the reorganized army to Qujiang Pass to rendezvous, and launched the Northern Expedition again.

"Dongwang is reasonable...... Hong Xiuquan nodded slightly, as if he had been moved by Yang Xiuqing's words.

Hong Xiuquan actually didn't want to stay in Qujiang Pass anymore after experiencing today's "humiliation", because Shi Dakai didn't know when he would jump out and humiliate himself again, and he couldn't stand this anger.

Just when Shi Dakai was about to nod, Sima Hui stood up with his cane and arched his hand: "Heavenly King, don't do it, don't do it!" ”

Hong Xiuquan frowned, and had to listen to Sima Hui finish speaking.

"That Tao Demon with soldiers like a god, treacherous, we only as much as possible to concentrate on Qujiang Pass, in order to have a perfect grasp of the Tao Demon, today the king returned to Tianjing, leaving only the East King and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard Qujiang Pass, in case there is a mistake, Qujiang Pass is lost, I Jiaozhou North Gate Hole open, Wei State's iron cavalry can drive straight into the hinterland of my heavenly kingdom, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Sima Hui painstakingly analyzed the pros and cons, but before Hong Xiuquan could speak, Yang Xiuqing sneered disdainfully, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Shuijing, you won't be scared by the Tao Demon just because of our unexpected defeat in the previous time, and you will be bitten by a snake for a while, and you will be afraid of the illness of the well rope for ten years." ”

Yang Xiuqing sarcastically mocked Sima Hui in front of everyone, Xu Shu saw that the teacher was offended, and immediately became angry, and opened his mouth to retort.

Sima Hui raised his hand slightly, signaling him not to be impulsive, Xu Shu had to swallow his anger and did not squeak.

"King Dong, the old man is not afraid of the pottery merchant, he just tells the truth, and the old man also thinks that the pottery thief's previous victory is not a fluke." Sima Hui said lightly in a calm tone.

"If it weren't for some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, fleeing from the battle, how could the Tao Demon win, wouldn't this be a fluke?" When Yang Xiuqing spoke, he glared at Li Xiucheng with disdain.

Li Xiucheng was ashamed, hurriedly lowered his head, took a few steps back, and shrank into the crowd.

Sima Hui was speechless for a moment.

Yang Xiuqing raised his head and said proudly: "Qujiang Pass is as solid as a rock, and its solidity even surpasses that of Tongguan and other dangerous passes in the world, and this king personally sits in the town to guard the pass, is it possible that Mr. Shuijing thinks that with the ability of this king, he can't even defend a mere pass?" ”

Yang Xiuqing asked so arrogantly, Sima Hui was speechless, of course he knew that Yang Xiuqing was a high-minded and arrogant, but narrow-minded person, if he openly denied Yang Xiuqing's ability in front of so many people, it was not a wise move to offend such a high-ranking and powerful king of the East.

Moreover, although Sima Hui was afraid of the potters, he was still very clear about the solidity of Qujiang Pass and the strength of Yang Xiuqing himself.

Thinking of this, Sima Hui sighed lightly and retreated, no longer opposing Yang Xiuqing's proposal.

Yang Xiuqing overwhelmed the water mirror strategically, a trace of pride flowed between his eyebrows, and he turned to look at Hong Xiuquan and asked him to make a determination.

Hong Xiuquan pondered for a moment, and happily flicked his hand: "In this case, I will hand over this Qujiang Pass to the East King, and I will set off to return to Beijing tomorrow." ”

Yang Xiuqing became more and more proud, and hurriedly said: "Heavenly King Shengming, the minister hereby assures the Heavenly King that as long as there is a minister here, if the Tao Demon dares to come to forcibly attack the problem, the minister will kill him without leaving a piece of armor, let him taste the pain under the halberd city, and the Heavenly King will wait for the good news of the minister." ”

Hong Xiuquan listened to Yang Xiuqing's generous words, and his mood improved, his face gradually dissipated, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smug sneer.

……

The next day, Hong Xiuquan left Qujiang Pass with 40,000 soldiers and horses, and set off south to return to Tianjing, leaving only Yang Xiuqing to lead 40,000 Taiping troops to continue to guard Guancheng.

The information that Hong Xiuquan left Qujiang Pass reached the Wei camp within a few days.

The potter knew very well that this was because Hong Xiuquan relied on the strength of Qujiang Pass, and disdained to confront his troops here, so he left and left only Yang Xiuqing to guard the pass.

Hong Xiuquan's contempt was in the hands of the potters, and he immediately ordered Zeng Guofan in the rear to transport heavy siege weapons such as Tianlei cannon and dragon fury to the front line as soon as possible, so as to take advantage of the enemy's reduction to break through the city as soon as possible.

In the evening of that day, the potters rode their horses and patrolled the camps to appease the wounded and the sick and boost the morale of the soldiers.

When the potter stepped into the camp of Changyu Chunsuo, he found that the whole camp was five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, and the security was heavy, as if he was facing a great enemy.

The potter was curious, and walked into the big tent, and after the monarch and the minister saw the ceremony, the potter said strangely: "Yuchun, your camp is so heavily guarded, who is this to guard against?" ”

Chang Yuchun gave up his hand, and explained with some embarrassment: "Back to Your Majesty, this matter is also a bit ridiculous, this morning a person came to defect to the minister, but was rejected by the minister. The man was not convinced, and said that he wanted to make a bet with the minister, if he could steal the minister's official seal before tomorrow morning, the minister would take him in, and the minister was so excited by him that he agreed to his ridiculous gambling contract, so His Majesty would see ......"

Chang Yuchun scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, embarrassed to continue.

"This person dares to sneak into your camp alone and steal your official seal, which is a big breath." The potter was interested, and couldn't help asking, "What is this madman's name?" ”
