On 18 February, Dong Zhiyuan's Hui People's Army held a meeting in Xiao Jinzhen, and Ma Zhenghe, Bai Yanhu, Yu Yanlu, and Cui Wei led the four major battalions, as well as other commanders who still had strength, Yu Deyan, Feng Junfu, Ma Changshun, Yang Wenzhi, Ma Zhenggang, Ma Shengyan, Bi Dacai, Yan Xingchun, Lan Mingtai, Ha Lianjin, Zou Baohe, Zhang Daiyu, Ma Weixiang, and others

The Hui army is a self-formation of various soldiers and horses in the battle, organizations at all levels, with strength and prestige, they are elected to the throne of marshals, and the four marshals are the four eldest brothers, and whichever eldest brother follows must be loyal to the end

Zou Baohe and Feng Junfu, the two generals of the defeated army, entered the big felt room and sat on the ground, and the meeting began

Ma Zhenghe looked around with a weather-beaten face, and the brothers said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be depressed, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, we have to have strategic depth to retreat, this time I called you here to tell you, our four marshals made a decision, Dong Zhiyuan's current situation, you have all seen it, because of the geographical constraints, we can't use our troops, but they were broken by the Qing demons one by one, so I still decided to transfer to Jinjibao, in order to let many people transfer, I decided to let Cui Sishuai and I break off by Bai Yanhu, The two marshals Yu Yanlu led the transfer of more than 100,000 people, and let you come to draw up a list of who will stick to it and which people will follow Bai Yanhu and Yu Yanlu, and we will act after five days of retreat."

With such a handsome man, why do you want to stay, stick to the nine deaths for a lifetime, no one else has any objections, raise his head and look at Bai Yanhu, he is really cunning as a fox, sitting in Dong Zhiyuan, Xifeng Town, ten miles north of Yan Xiao, just to make it easier to grease the soles of his feet, Bai Yanhu will definitely not stay, and he is good at escaping

The fourth marshal Cui Wei is a famous hero in the army, and heroes from all walks of life are vying to take refuge, but there are also heroes who are short of breath, and his subordinates Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, and Zou Baohe all showed him that he would stay in the green mountains and not worry about the meaning of firewood, so that he could make up his mind, only the fifteenth marshal Halianjin is still a die-hard loyalty, and his determination is still righteous and awe-inspiring

Since you have to stay behind, you have to be single-minded, everyone should know each other, there should be leeway, Cui Wei stroked his cheeks and beard, and said: "Halianjin, you still lead the clansmen to retreat with Bai Yanhu, I don't need so many soldiers and horses here, Zou Baohe, Lan Mingtai, you are stationed in Taichang Town, Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai and I are stationed in Zhengping Town, and protect the flank of Dongzhi County."

Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Bao and several marshals also have no objections, and they have already guessed how Cui Wei calculated, and it is certainly good that Halian Jin Shuang can obey orders and act to be able to break out of the encirclement and have a way to live

The other marshals had their own destiny, and the four marshals arranged a military meeting to end and complete the assignment

Ma Zhenghe patted his thigh and said freely: "Well, since the meeting went so smoothly, I will get drunk with the friendship of the landlord."

"That's a good feeling, we haven't had a meeting for a long time," Bai Yanhu was quite satisfied with the result of the meeting, his battalion took the lead in retreating, and the losses were negligible

Ma Zheng and the big yurt room are in order to welcome the arrival of all the heroes to hold a grand banquet, the banquet delicacies, in addition to the sumptuous refreshments and hand-caught mutton, but also deliberately killed a young horse to show the solemnity, because there is a handsome and the lady to accompany the guests, the guests were divided into two places, that is, divided into two large circles according to different genders, everyone sat on the ground, from their looks, no one looked like a defeated man

At the beginning of the banquet, Ma Zhenghe first gave a speech, generally speaking, if Ma Zhenghe usually belongs to the kind of people who do not smile, they always maintain their handsome and majestic manners, but today is not usual, he talked and laughed at the beginning, and seemed to be very active, there is a reunion, there is a parting, Ma Zhenghe has a hero, and he is determined to be righteous

Ma Zhenghe said: "I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment, we often compare the tiger to a symbol of strength, and now that so many of us are here, what a great encouragement it should be for us to start a great operation, and pray that Allah will bless us to be victorious and invincible."

A burst of applause interrupted Ma Zhenghe's words, and then he said some words of praise, other people for the handsome Ma Zhenghe, in addition to their love, is to admire those marshals with ghosts, ashamed, when there is a plan to defect, several marshals snoop on each other, wondering if the other party will betray themselves

Ma Zhenghe asked Bai Yanhu to speak, and Bai Yanhu pretended to be modest and said: " Marshal Ma, you have won the award, I really can't bear this burden, although Bai Yanhu has been from Rong for many years, but his life has been bumpy and the record is very small, I am ashamed, this time I organized a strategic shift, and you can also count me as if you can afford me, I must work hard to bring LinkedIn back to the army and open up a road to victory, but if there is no Marshal Ma, Dong Zhi County here, I am afraid that there will be no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground, so I sincerely thank Marshal Ma for paving this road to freedom for us, sincerely thank you for your kind reception, Yu Yanlu and Jinjibao waited for Marshal Ma to break out of the encirclement and get together at the moment full of this cup”

The people in the "dry" circle sang together, and Ma Zhenghe was very proud when he heard it, but he also pretended to be very modest on the surface, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be Yu Yanlu, Bai Yanhu, don't be polite, it's all for the great cause of the nation, I also want to thank you for leaving a spark for our Dong Zhiyuan's return to the army."

During the greetings, Yu Yanlu and Bai Yanhu talked freely about the strategic deployment of the retreat, Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Baohe and others praised them for their resourcefulness, worthy of being a master of improvisation, secretly preparing to pass the news to the Qing army, they were frightened by the Qing army, and made up their minds to revolt, and were ready to reveal the content of tonight's military meeting to Xu Zhanbiao, the deputy commander of the Qing army

At this time, the guards brought a plate of hot mutton and walked into the yurt, and Ma Zhenghe asked everyone to wash their hands and eat

When the men took advantage of the excitement to chew and swallow, and the mouths were full of oil, the women praised the tender and delicious horse meat, and the young horses under the age of one were so tender that the women also showed a very active atmosphere, and the singing and dancing nation began to perform singing and dancing "Banquet Song"

"Banquet Song" dances in a phalanx formation, with graceful and luxurious images such as phoenixes, butterflies, peonies, pigeons, etc., and things closely related to the life of the nation, such as lambs, grass, and sweet springs, so the arm movements are changeable during the dance, and the characteristics are just like butterflies flying, and the wind and phoenix spreading their wings, and the movements are unrestrained and beautiful; The legs are flexed and stretched flexibly, like a herdsman rushing to Guan Qunyun, his movements are undulating, steady, flexible and tenacious, chic and free, his head is shaky and agile, and his eyes are skillful, all of which express the joy and joy in "Banquet Song".

After a song, the men also joined the dance ranks, began to twist the waist and dance the flowers, this dance step rhythm is clear and chic, with the leg movements flexing and stretching and undulating larger, the dance is characterized by one hand holding the ear or the back of the waist, the other hand forking the waist or the left and right sides of the swing, when the emotion is excited, it shakes the head, it once with the flower music to highlight the characteristics

Women play the mouth strings is a kind of blowing the mouth strings and accompanied by impromptu expressions, folk entertainment form, using the mouth strings to express their feelings, the mouth strings are soft and deep, the rhythm is changeable, there is joy, bright like a finch, the tip of the tongue is like a branch, the birds are happy, the morning sun is depressed and depressed, like the eaves dripping water, like the autumn rain, such as crying, such as complaining, simple and unpretentious, like a camel jingling, like a camel bell on the freight road

When blowing the mouth strings, you can entertain yourself by sitting, standing, and walking with various strumming string movements, such as the charming shaking of the upper body, the soft movement of the hips, and the leisurely and light steps

The banquet lasted until sunset, but everyone was still in the mood, and Ma Zheng ordered his own soldiers and guards to withdraw the meat, and brought refreshments such as milk tea and fried fruits from milk skins, and continued to sit and talk happily

Bai Yanhu took the Dongbula and sang it, touched the two delicate little mustaches, and said loudly: "I also have a song of Dongbula, brothers and sisters, don't laugh, drink too much, your tongue is a little knotted, hahahaha"

After a burst of hearty laughter, Bai Yanhu sang loudly: "I love Dongbula, the dusk plateau has your charming fragrance, I play my Dongbula, and sing for my beloved girl······

Bai Yanhu can sing and dance, touch the girl's heartstrings, and also make him the protagonist of the banquet, he was just a small person in the past, the strength of the uprising team is not strong, but there is a personal charm, so that countless heroes and heroes are attached, and the strength in the battle is getting stronger and stronger, and he has the reputation of the fox of the army

Until it was very late at night, they dispersed and walked out of the big felt room, Cui Wei's face was solemn, there was no time to talk and laugh, Ma Zhenghe was willing to die for the great cause of the nation, and he also wanted to survive for the survival of the nation, the more he argued, the more clear the truth is, the more he wanted to be crooked, or Imam Zou was right, he had a chance to take revenge if he lived, and even his wife was remarried, and his son and daughter were slaughtered, who would remember you

"Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Bao and you came to my camp to discuss how to defend the city," Cui Wei glanced at his footsteps, staggering, and several handsomes were pretending to be drunk, which was the appearance of righteousness and death

Among these people, the first person to betray the great cause of the nation is Yu Deyan's family, the great cause of the family, the Lord has a wide range of contacts, and the Qing army secretly communicates with the Qing Dynasty, even when the war is also done with the Qing Dynasty, Yu Deyan has betrayed the military secrets of the Hui army, and after the defeat and setback, he first made up his mind to revolt and dragged his cronies Bi Dacai into the water

Lan Mingtai is a swordsman, he originally had no faith, he lived by burning and looting, and he had milk, and he was the master's subordinate, An Jie brought him a letter to advise him to return to the Qing Dynasty, and Xu Yi, a high-ranking official, Lan Mingtai had long felt that Yu Deyan and Bi Dacai were acting secretly, and after some contact, they found out the truth and followed Yu Deyan to prepare to turn back

As for Zou Baohe, he was a coward, he was scared by Li Ziying, and he ran on this thief ship without being persuaded to survive his family

In the military tent, Shicai was still drunk, and the drunken people immediately became dignified, with an old Chengmuguo demeanor, Cui Wei sighed slightly: "Yu Deyan, I have already thought about it, or revolt on the battlefield, and dedicate Taichang Town and Zhengping Town to Vice Marshal Xu, as for Ma Zheng and Dong Zhi County, we don't have to care, everyone has different ideas, everyone is a brother, I can't betray my brother."

Yu Deyan exclaimed: "Or Cui Shuai has the courage to let Halianjin live, and then I will talk about it, so that you brothers will have a good life in the future, the conditions for the Qing army are not bad, those members of the elder association also give official positions, and we still have the clan, Zuo Dashuai is willing to give the territory, I don't blame the past, I don't think we can fight Ma Zheng and the team, for Dong Zhiyuan, a few people can't do it, and the other returning troops still have to work hard a few times, otherwise Zuo Zongtang will not let us keep the army."

"Then it goes without saying, if it weren't for looking at your face, I would even dare to twist off Ma Zhenghe's head," Lan Mingtai turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, who would have thought that Ma Zhenghe would be beneficial, most of his subordinates were Han Chinese, and he would dare to attack anyone

"Hey, Lan Mingtai still forget it, it's too fierce, it's not beautiful, let the Qing army consume strength, so that we can show our importance, the battle is good, the mess in Xinjiang, the Qing army will be used, we must first be low-spirited, be a man, arrange the tribe well, and people's hearts are important," Zou Baohe opened his mouth and closed his mouth, that is, the tribe returned to the Qing Dynasty for the benefit of the nation, so he didn't think it was a betrayal of the great cause of the nation, and the truth would tell the tribe that he was good at speaking, and what people said was right

"Hehe, I'm still a soldier and fights in local governance, I'm not interested in dying, I'm going to die on the battlefield," Lan Mingtai refused to put down his gun, he would only rely on looting to support his subordinates, and he was not interested in robbing the population

"Snort" The person next to him sneered, Lan Mingtai also said that he was going to surrender before the battle was fought on the battlefield, and now he is still talking big words, who would believe this kind of nonsense

Cui Wei's eyes widened and he shouted: "What are you laughing at, when is it still like a hanging child, set off for me now, rush back to the station overnight, control your own camp, have long nights, and have many dreams, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Yes" Yu Deyan, Bi Dacai, Lan Mingtai, Zou Baohe and stood up in high spirits, it has not been so cool for a long time, the people's hearts are united, and the battle has begun, and they will spend the rest of their lives in peace, without fear of dying on the battlefield

Cui Wei led his subordinates to hold a brief military meeting, and then left Xiaojin Town overnight, and their departure doomed Dong Zhiyuan's return army to be torn apart
