On May 5, Lei Hu and Ke Gongyu each began to march eastward with their own troops.

The strategic decision made by the General Staff was to hold Zhenjiang, occupy Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and control the Taihu Lake area. At the same time, he approached Shanghai, got in touch with the Little Knife Society, and brought it under Wei Ze's control. Then they went south to attack Jiaxing and Hangzhou, and occupied the entire Zhejiang region.

Yang Xiuqing has already promoted all of Wei Ze's subordinates, although there are still so many troops under his leadership, but they have all been given the position of reward inspection point. Yang Xiuqing solved the problem that the official position of the generals of Wei Ze's troops was much lower than that of the troops at the same level...... The marching work is responsible for the staff departments of each department, and Lei Hu and Ke Gongyu no longer have to worry about this work. The two graces walked side by side, and the guards around them spread out a circle, so that the two of them could talk without worrying about someone eavesdropping.

It stands to reason that after this promotion, Wei Ze's generals fully felt the grace of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and should have been elated about it. However, the favor of the East King brought by this grace has been greatly reduced because of the recent incident. Lei Hu had an uncomfortable expression on his face, and said to Ke Gongyu: "I said that the East King is too ruthless to do this?" If it weren't for Wei Changrong telling me the truth, I really wouldn't have thought that things would still be able to do this! ”

Although he knew that no one could hear the conversation between the two of them, Lei Hu still kept his voice down. Ke Gongyu also kept a straight face, but did not immediately answer Lei Hu's question. After a while, he said: "King Qi ordered us to take Changzhou, let's fight quickly!" What's the use of thinking so much? ”

Lei Hu couldn't accept Ke Gongyu's explanation at all, and he said in surprise: "Huh? When something so big happens, don't you have any ideas? ”

Ke Gongyu glanced at Lei Hu, "King Qi doesn't dare to get involved in this matter, do we dare to get involved?" Let's fight east as soon as possible, and the farther we fight, the farther away from Tianjing City. People say that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and I don't want to stay in Zhenjiang at all now. The farther away from the land of Tianjing City, the better. ”

This explanation was obviously completely understandable and acceptable to Lei Hu, so Lei Hu was silent for the time being. But after only being silent for a moment, Lei Hu couldn't help but ask, "Did you say that King Qi had already guessed this matter?" ”

Ke Gongyu glanced at Lei Hu, "I said Lei Laohu, I am not the roundworm in King Qi's stomach, how do I know if King Qi had already guessed that King Dong would do this." If you really want to know, then you might as well ask King Qi directly! ”

was robbed by Ke Gongyu like this, Lei Hu immediately shouted: "How dare I ask!" How do I ask? ”

After shouting, Lei Hu showed that his voice was too loud, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and continued: "You said that King Qi has always told us that King Dong is the number one person in our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, could it be that King Qi has long known that King Dong is such a person, so he said this to us, let us not do anything to make King Dong angry." Lao Ke, you follow King Qi early, you tell me about it! ”

Ke Gongyu is obviously very impatient with Lei Hu's practice of being so dead, but Ke Gongyu is also an old brother who was in Yong'an City when Yong'an was established, he not only has contact with Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, but also has certain contact with the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan, Ke Gongyu has certain contact with Wei Changhui, the king of the north and Feng Yunshan, the king of the south.

After thinking about it, Ke Gongyu said: "Lei Laohu, the East King is indeed the number one person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In those days, the army marched and fought, and the training and management of the army were very powerful. This is not King Qi talking nonsense. But I really didn't expect Dongwang to be so cruel to his brothers now. As for King Qi, we have been following him for so long, what kind of person King Qi is, you and I both know very well. He has always said openly about some things, and since the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, big and small things have been made public. I said this, you did the killing of Li Guangfei, and when you look back now, will you think that it was a random killing? ”

At the mention of the military court, the muscles on Lei Hu's face couldn't help but tremble. Li Guangfei was fascinated and stole three maps to Wen Yuewei, the female leader of the Twist Army, no matter how hateful, pitiful and even ridiculous Li Guangfei was. However, the military tribunal's crimes against Li Guangfei and his trial were fair. Even Lei Hu, who didn't want Li Guangfei to die, only had regrets, but he didn't have the resentment of the military court.

Seeing that his words hit Lei Hu's heart, Ke Gongyu continued: "Lei Laohu, our King Qi has always done things like this. Just like the matter of the North King this time, if the King of Qi wants to seize the military power of the King of Qi, he will also say it directly in the General Staff. Definitely not playing tricks like Dongwang. Not to mention that after seizing the military power of the North King, he will calculate the North King from behind. No matter what Dongwang thinks, it's not right for him to do this! ”

Hearing this, Lei Hu sighed, "That's what you said." Originally, I thought that the General Staff and the military tribunals were sometimes too slow and cumbersome. But now, if there is no general staff and military tribunal, the king of the east can clean up whoever he wants! ”

Ke Gongyu felt quite scared when he heard Lei Hu's words, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph! So no matter what you think, I'm going to follow King Qi. Whether it's the General Staff or the military court, with this thing, our brothers can not end up like the King of the North. What do you think? ”

Lei Hu listened to Ke Gongyu's words with suspicion, he couldn't help but glare at Ke Gongyu, but only glared, after staring, Lei Hu said: "What King Qi does is reassuring, of course I also follow King Qi!" ”

"Then fight a good war, hurry east, and get as far away from Tianjing City as possible!" Ke Gongyu said.

After finishing speaking, Ke Gongyu glanced at Lei Hu again, he pondered for a while with his lips tensed, and then finally said: "Dongwang has patrols in our army, although this time we left Anhui to leave the patrols in Anhui, but I think there are only people in our brothers who can be trusted by Dongwang." Lei Hu, you have to be careful when you speak in the future, if King Qi is dealt with by the King of the East, I am afraid that our brothers' lives will not be so good! ”

Hearing this, Lei Hu's eyes widened, and he said in an unbelievable tone, "Who is the person who Dongwang can trust?" ”

Ke Gongyu looked at Lei Hu's startled appearance, and replied quite dissatisfied: "How do I know? Maybe it's just my guess, but it's always a good idea to be careful. It's not that the king of the east hasn't beaten the king of Qi, as a subordinate, even if we can't help much, it's better not to cause trouble for the king of Qi. ”

Lei Hu was not overly surprised this time, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "I know!" ”

After saying this, the two began to talk about the military operation against Changzhou. After discussing it for a while, I saw a staff officer of the reconnaissance unit approaching on horseback through the guard circle. The reconnaissance staff officer brought news that the Qing army in Changzhou did not hold on, and a Qing army of more than 3,000 people came out of Changzhou and approached the side of Lei Hu.
