Cao Zhongquan's figure is slightly fat, it is normal for people to be middle-aged, he used to be a big fat man, and after nearly ten years of riding career, his figure is getting better and better

After smoking a bag of cigarettes, Cao Zhongquan knocked the cigarette gun three times next to the earthen kang, and the eldest nephew next to him, Cao Keding, immediately handed over the big teapot, Cao Zhongquan took the big teapot, cooed at the spout, raised his head and drank a few sips of tea

"Hey, you still have to spend money, you have to find a way to make money, I gave the money to Ma Dashuai, used to buy foreign guns and foreign cannons, a full 12 taels of silver or jewelry, and Ma Dashuai took something, thirty into three, three seven, in the end, it is to peel my skin, the little five subfield, he knows what the scene is, there is no room for maneuver" Cao Zhongquan was angry, almost smashed the teapot, glanced at the people in the room, although everyone has the same status, they are all in name, the general obeys the orders of the fifth marshal Chen Lin, but these four generals are his subordinates in the past, and he still has to make up his mind

Cao Kewu used to be Cao Zhongquan, the five big and three thick guys, for Cao Zhongquan, he was loyal, he owned everything, Cao Zhongquan was rewarded, including the first big wife, and then said: " Ma Dashuai took out the military order like a mountain to press Cao Ye, there was no way to do it, he said it very well, Ma Hualong's son Ma Yaobang's chest was shocking, saying that it must be shipped before spring, but I didn't see a gun, Ma Hualong didn't want us Dong Zhiyuan's eighteenth battalion to be strong, cheat us out of our money, and arm myself, it's a selfish villain, and an alliance with him, if Ma Hualong will send troops to support us, I will climb to the well from here and jump down directly."

Cao Zhongquan waved his hand and said: "Old five, don't talk so far, we can't care about denouncing the gains and losses now, Ma Dashuai can't play, Ma Hualong is related to the ancestors, there is a fart, there is only one emperor throne, everyone wants to rob me, if the family is thick, the emperor will be addicted in a few days, let each of you guard a big city, Lanzhou, let my son take care of my home for me"

"Abba, you are also far away, let's get down to business," Cao Keliao glared at his father and started a child's temper, this is not nonsense, just this little soldier and horse still want to occupy Lanzhou

Cao Zhongquan crossed his legs and sat on the kang and said with a smile: "It's not God, it's raining, it's okay today, let's drink three cups together later, don't pay attention to the hanging hair, who will take care of you, just when you speak, I heard you speak, the Chu army is too strong, Feng Xiaobao doesn't even live for a day, and even today's raindrops don't raindrop, I also want to be a national hero and fight for the independence of our Hui people, but now this environment is different, there is no twist, the main force of the Qing army has been pressed, and if we continue to fight, we are all finished playing, is it useful to rely on the Russians, the serfs in their own country have rebelled, and the officers have assassinated the tsar, even the army can't be relied on, we can only survive on our own, as for the brutal past of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we don't see ourselves, but we are no worse than the Manchus, everyone is each otherNow everyone is killing and killing, my days have not passed, when I was a landlord, what did you get, except for more to eat and drink, there was nothing to come out."

Feng Mingzhi sighed: "There are more widows, and there are more and more widows, and the crying in the city today is too miserable."

"Hey," the five of them sighed together, showing a little human touch, for the suffering of their own people, for the people of other nationalities, they would not shed even a tear under their noses, but for the killing there was a tyrannical pain

"Eat first," Cao Zhongquan's four wives came in with the dishes, and a table of wine was set up

The people in the city implement the rationing system and eat chaff and vegetables, but as the governor, they eat and drink a lot and rebel is to establish a privileged class, and after national independence, it is not for them, the founding heroes, to enjoy life, most of the rebel brothers are drunk today, not to mention that they have seen the coffin in front of them, how can they save their lives

Feng Mingzhi stood up and shouted: "Sister, you will watch your brother-in-law drink too much for us at the door, and he will leak his mouth."

"Hey, let's stand guard for you," Cao Zhongquan's four wives walked out of the door to set up four sentry posts, Cao Zhongquan has more than four women, these four women belong to his wife, and other women belong to playthings, and the Qing Dynasty Ji is exactly the same, have the right to have a gun, men can't buy houses and fields, then search the harem, the Hui people, the national independence and liberation movement, will not engage in women's liberation movement, women are still oppressed

After a round of drinking, Cao Zhongquan put down his glass and said: "This uprising hurts your bones, you have all seen that the Han people and we are fighting hard, although we all die together, but how many of our Hui people, how many Han people, how many people, how many people, if we continue to fight, our Hui people will not even have a seed, where can we still establish the Uighur kingdom, the Manchu Qing is too brutal, it is going to die, our Hui race, the Han people are sad, they are willing to degenerate, willing to be dog slaves, what about us, wait for the extermination, or flee abroad, to recognize the Russians as fathers, how much difference is this from recognizing the Manchu Qing as the father, self-deception, I think it is better to learn from the ancestors, recognize the Manchu Qing as the master again, kneel and surrender without shame, everyone has to kneel and recognize the master, this time is the time to fail, the time is not for us, the Uighur kingdom, I calculated the bones of at least six hundred years agoIt's all in ashes, let's get a Qing magistrate, and we should get another sum of silver, and come back, you say it's okay."

"But we have too few people, the west gate of the city is Chen Shuai's cronies, and we can't take it," Cao Keding and several other people listened to Cao Zhong's words with one attitude, but they had concerns in their hearts, but they couldn't fight back in the nest, but they couldn't give the fifth handsome Chen Lin and the seventh handsome Feng Junfu people

Cao Zhongquan shook his head and said: "I don't buy and sell at a loss, the west gate of the city is the fifth handsome, Chen Lin and the seventh handsome, Feng Junfu retreat, they watch it closely, will they really coexist with Yongyang Mansion City, if so, they will not flee to Dong Zhiyuan, Yongyang Mansion City has become a mess, the two marshals will still escape, as long as there is a way out, this kind of person will smear oil on the soles of his feet, we don't play with them, and then play, Taichang Township people will first extinct horses, we are not even half, that is, we will die at least half of the people, wives and children will die, what to do Keliao, at night, you go out of the city to the Qing army barracks to find Xu Zhanbiao and negotiate with the Qing army, we let the Qing soldiers enter from the north gate of the city, dig tunnels and climb the city wall, and it is decided by Deputy Marshal Xu, you must meet Li Guolou and ask us how much silver our credit is worthThere are no 40,000 taels of silver, this is our low bottom line, and we need to ask clearly how much Chen Shuai and Feng Shuai's heads are worth, maybe we can get a vote," After speaking, Cao Zhongquan drank excitedly, and his face showed a yearning for silver, Li Guolou's deeds, he knew that some 100,000 taels of silver were a bit exaggerated, and he couldn't get the full credit, it was impossible to dedicate the entire Yongyang Mansion City, if he sold the army back to get a large reward of silver, he didn't want his ancestors to identify with the emperor as the monarch's father

"Daddy, we also have five handsome people in the north of the city, so what should we do" Cao Keliao scratched his head, a little worried

"Stupid, rich and dangerous, we will directly overturn the five handsome people and horses, and say that you are stupid, not to kill the army, just take the silver, you think you are doing business," Cao Zhongquan figured it out, Dong Fuxiang can turn the gun and aim it at his compatriots, he is also a poisonous spider

"Brother-in-law, do you want to find some helpers, I and Second Brother Zhang are sworn brothers, let him participate, I will definitely be willing" Feng Mingzhi lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it, but in fact, the sound of the rain drowned everything around

"You are also a fool and still worship brothers, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are also sworn brothers, not to be crushed by brothers, not to mention that when the launch is launched, shout, let him participate, and when it is launched, someone will always do it with us, you say that you have long nights, go home more often, and your wife will talk more, we are all finished, what do you still have to say, we have to avoid suspicion in the future, don't be together" Cao Zhongquan is scheming and calculating, and he is worthy of being familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the layout of the sneak attack war is not leaky, and he can't find any flaws after the planning is completed

Cao Keding sighed and said: "Uncle is so impressed by the little nephew, but when I go out of the city, I go to Keliao too weakly, and when I am frightened by the Qing army, people will not pay a high price, I can do it and clench my steel teeth without letting go of my mouth, and ask the uncle to get a seven-grade official hat, and then make a real shortage, we can also be the mayor of the town."

Cao Zhongquan's mind was sober, he thought about it, and nodded and said: "Well, Keding goes, I'm relieved, don't come back tonight, I won't be able to come back tonight, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow night."

The five of them were sneaky and drunk, and they didn't dare to drink more than three glasses, so they ate noodle soup after eating the stomach, and the layout was roughly planned, so they left the compound in the rain

Cao Zhongquan and others were prepared to do a big job with practical actions, and many officers who returned to the army were drunk and confused, said a few strange words, opened their hearts, played the piano indiscriminately, and the national righteousness was just a loud slogan, and then fell into reality, or personal interests, and the "100,000 taels of silver" made many people tempted, but unfortunately there was no blessing to suffer, wouldn't it make them feel sad, and only blamed that there were too few soldiers and horses in their hands

The war contains many unstable factors, divides and disintegrates, the enemy's fighting spirit depends on intrigue and trickery, and also relies on large sums of money to buy, and the slightest changes on the battlefield have behind-the-scenes deals

Some of the officers seemed to hear the woman's crying and immediately changed course to comfort the widow

Before the widow could wipe away her tears, a man kicked open the door and assured the widow that he was able to protect the woman, and the man came

Women struggle, escape, cry, scream, but this is the unspoken rules of war in wartime, including these things, women are dedicated to warriors, this kind of thing will always happen, powerless to struggle, women are pressed by men, they want to kill the enemy, they want to protect their beloved women, warriors do not charge in bed

Ugly deeds occur in wartime, just like this heavy rain, they will be erased by the earth, leaving no trace, erasing good and evil, it can no longer be described, because war changes all rules, and the law cannot be judged, as for the harsh military law, it changes with the times, and the army can slaughter a city without committing any crime in a place, just like the slaughter of the city and relief coexist, there are contradictions from time to time, and the implementation of military law in each battle is different

Brutal soldiers obey orders, military orders make soldiers ruthless and unjust, become machines that implement military orders, the state, the nation has no practical meaning for soldiers, they only listen to the words of the commander, a warlord can change an army to war, let every officer make a choice, back to the army, those imams, landlords, filial sons also stand in line, they all make painful choices

The rainy day made the Qing army busy, the figure disappeared, except for the military tents on the ground, there was no movement, Peng Yuan Mountain was a treasure land that could be attacked and defended, Xu Zhanbiao had moved the Chinese army's big tent to the top of the mountain, the dripping hole was cleaned, the cave was played, the officers played chess, and after the battle, it was rare to be busy, and the counselor studied Li Guolou's poem "Qingpingle Dong Zhiyuan"

Guo Baochang lost a game of chess and glanced at him: "Boss Gao, don't look at it, why do you praise Li Guolou, literati like to fake, he has already written poems, which is improvised, Li Guolou is a model of fake emptiness"

Counselor Lao Gao stroked his beard and said: "Well, Guo Shoubei said it thoroughly, I don't believe that people can write poems like this, a Cao Zhi seven-step poem is unprecedented, Li Guolou is too fake, I despise him"

Xu Zhanbiao won a game of chess and said with a smile: "Don't talk bad about him behind Li Guolou's back, there is a kind of questioning him face-to-face and asking him if he is cheating."

Guo Baochang smiled and said: "Isn't Vice Marshal Xu eating people's soft mouth, he won't demolish Li Guolou when he sees him cheating, so he will let him be complacent."

Counselor Gao said with a smile: "Guo Shoubei, then you said that Li Guolou opened 100,000 silver heavy gold, is it useful?"

"Phew, it's not a fart, it's not that Vice Marshal Xu encircles Sanque and wears down the fighting spirit of the army, which time is not like this, Yongyang Mansion City, I will eat it," Guo Baochang also wanted to regain the disadvantage and play another game of chess

But Xu Zhanbiao had already stood up, relaxed his nerves and tensed up again, the art of war was changeable, the soldiers were uncertain, and the water was normal, and the strategy had to be tried to know if it was useful, anyway, he didn't need to spend money, hoping that Li Guolou's measures would wear down the will to resist the army
