Of course, Zhou Huai'an, who didn't know anything about this for the time being, still carried out the rescue plan step by step and marched into Jiangling by himself.

Therefore, the Taiping army only stayed in Yueyang for one day, which was used to organize the march, receive the warehouses, requisition and replenish supplies, and leave the wounded and the men and horses left behind

After setting up the follow-up conscription, food conscription, and clean-up and rectification plan, they continued to march non-stop, in order to seize the short window period when the news was too late to come out, and in the blink of an eye

Fleeting potentially advantageous fighters.

Prior to this, there were already some new forces/reserves that had not directly participated in the battle in the city, and were in better condition, led by Ge Cunzhou and Liu Liumao respectively; Go on

Along the Yangtze River waterway, riding on the traditional official road, and traveling by vehicle, we set off one step ahead.

Therefore, when Zhou Huai'an's battalion of men and horses also began to advance by boat, you could see one after another left by the vanguard on the side of the road, with simple ciphertext

and a preset camp for a large number of people to rest and rest.

There was also a small episode on the way to Gangneung, but when he crossed Shishou Mountain in Shishou County, he outflanked and annihilated a group of local officials and soldiers

, I also encountered the remnants of a defeated rebel army hiding in the mountains, and there were about 1,000 people in ragged clothes.

"After the Shimono Hengjun (box) Lang General Zhang Juyan, I have seen the void left behind. I am willing to serve the dogs and horses left behind. ”

Later, he was taken to the top of a riverboat with a good view of the Chinese army, and was a leader of the rebel army who looked old and had rough skin and dark hair.

I saw that his hands and feet were covered with yellowed calluses left by years of labor, like an old farmer who was accustomed to going to the fields; On the face that has been weathered and covered with ravines, it is also somewhat

The usual humble smile and flattery. But it reminds people of the old trees that bend and root on the ruins of the wild deserted temple.

"You have mistaken the title, now the Guangfu is the head of the king, and I am just a deputy to the king. Just call me a leader. ”

Zhou Huai'an immediately waved his hand to correct.

"Yes, yes, I'm confused and I remember it wrong. Please lead the army and don't be surprised."

The gray-haired and pale Zhang Juyan hurriedly responded.

"Please also lead the army to give me the next one.,The opportunity to take revenge on those official dogs is ah.。。 Along the way, they chased them very badly, and there were many new and old ones

Brothers.. Now that's all the hands."

"It just so happens that I also need to be familiar with people in the neighborhood. I don't know if you can help. ”

Zhou Huai'an bowed slightly to him.

Judging by his appearance and body details, at least, he wore a pulped white hemp under his rusty willow leaf armor, and his feet were peeled old boots, and his cuffs, elbow tips, and crotch were all covered

grinding off the line; Obviously, no matter what the reason and reason, he still maintained some of the hardships and simplicity that only the old rebels had in his early years, and even shared the weal and woe with his subordinates

style and style.

And what Zhou Huai'an has seen along the way, it has obviously been corroded and degraded by the sudden enjoyment of wealth and glory, and has become very different from top to bottom

When they got up, most of the generals of the rebel army who wore silk and brocade and gold and jade all the time were relatively easy to distinguish.

In addition, although his subordinates are very unkempt and unkempt, they are still in good spirits and fighting spirit; Although he was defeated in the middle of the rush to aid Gangneung, he was in a defeat

In the adversity of being pursued several times, there are still these men who continue to follow him; And even more so because they have not given up the families of the wounded, who account for a small half of them

It's hard to come by.

Just for this, Zhou Huaian felt that he was given a chance, and it was not impossible to add more to this.

"Yes, but half of these brothers were recruited from nearby villages. Although the leader is called"

Zhang Juyan said spontaneously.

"All I have to do is avenge those brothers."

"Very good, the rest of your men, I will send someone to replenish your equipment and clothing, and follow my brigade to march and listen."

Speaking of which, Zhou Huai'an is colorful

"But I have to say ugly things ahead, since I want to act with my army, I must follow the rules and regulations. It is not allowed to act without an order, and it is not allowed to act privately

From the place of detention and nuisance. Otherwise, it will be treated as an enemy. ”

"It's natural. It's natural. ”

Zhang Juyan was surprised and hesitated for a moment, then put his posture very low and patted his chest.

"I will definitely supervise them strictly, and ask your ministry to send more people to supervise and correct them."

"I have a copy of the Marching Code here, you can take it back and let it be read."

Before he said goodbye, Zhou Huai'an suddenly flashed a familiar name in his database.

"By the way, I heard that you are from Linpu, Puzhou (now southwest of Juancheng, Shandong). But there's still a word called Guowei? ”

"The leader really has a heart. Under is the rebel army of Linputou. ”

Zhang Juyan couldn't help but respond with some pleasure.

"Guowei is also the name given by Yang Junshi back then."

"Sure enough, it's you."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sigh and looked at his distant back, and then his mood became a little strange and regretful; I didn't expect to meet such a number."

Qingqi" characters. At the beginning, he also knew and noticed his existence through the lace gossip of historical figures on the Internet.

You know, this is a controversial figure in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms; There are not only the means of reassuring people's livelihood and gathering and the merit of fighting immediately, but also the grass on the wall is strong

The right and the winner, the philosophy of survival has no bottom line and is reluctant.

But the most famous deeds in his life were when he was already an important minister of the Later Liang regime and a prince with a different surname; Because the women in the family are quite beautiful, they are known as the living Cao Cao

The living wife controlled Zhu Wen's classmate, and was able to leave a name for the famous "family bucket", known as a generation of ancient forgiveness hat patriarchs with green clouds on their heads.

However, Zhou Huai'an recalled and reflected afterwards, this turbulent world really can't just bury his head in farming, but also be able to fight more wars; As long as the corresponding results are obtained

and the accumulation of fame, it is natural that all kinds of historical figures will emerge. It's like a deep-diving fish that is vigorously stirred up in deep water, there is always one

The probability of crashing into the big net that he is in the hands of the times that disturb the times.

No, in the various developments along the way, there are already three or two of them knocked out with dates and without dates. When I think of the five generations of emperors and generals with different backgrounds

and the times, almost half of them are inextricably linked to the Huangchao Rebel Army; Zhou Huai'an's mind couldn't help but become hot, and he rushed to help Jiangling

The final battle generated more expectations.

As for the person he met on the road, Zhang Juyan, who will be greeted with a smile by someone who will be green through the whole family in the future, is not so unpleasant and disgusting; Although he

His character and position in the future may not be very good, but at least he can mix with the king in five generations, and his corresponding governance and military skills are still outstanding.

And Zhou Huai'an's current way of employing people is never afraid that you have shortcomings and problems, just afraid that you have no ability or can't be used in the right place. In other words, it is

There are basically no useless people in this world, only the problem of not knowing how to do things.

Even if the enemy has the enemy's usage, and the spy has the usage of the traitor, even if it is a disabled waste and a fool, it can also be arranged through the corresponding labor

to create some existential value.

As for the use of children as a fraction or half of an adult, of women as men, of men as animals, of animals as living machines... each

Creatures that pant are tiny parts that fit into the big machines of productivity; Under his rule, it was already a kind of political correctness and extraordinary system of "overwork and glorious death".

Experience ripened.

It is the so-called catching a toad and dragging out the urine, or the basic housekeeping principle of removing shredded meat from the legs of mosquitoes.

。。。。。。。。。。

In the city of Xunyang (near present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi), Yang Shigu, who was responsible for preparing and guarding the old and weak families and baggage in the rear formation, also fell into some serious predicament.

Not only because of the outbreak and spread of the epidemic, but also under the double influence of the news of the successive defeats in the front, the hearts of the people in the city have become extremely chaotic.

"Oh no, Master Yang..."

A sweaty rebel leader shouted angrily.

"There are a few more captains at the head of the battalion, who have taken people out without permission... The west left gate and the east right gate are already unguarded."

"Then what will Huang Lang say there?"

Yang Shigu sighed heavily

"General Huang Lang has already personally led people to chase him"

The leader said with a strange expression.

"Did he chase him too?"

Yang Shigu suddenly felt a little top-heavy dizziness and mental strength; At the beginning, several generals of the rebel army came out under the pretext of chasing down their fleeing subordinates

He never came back.

Now it seems that even if it is the nephew of the family left by King Huang and the core force, it is a candidate who may not be reliable when the matter comes. And now there is no such repression

If we work together, Yang Shigu is afraid that according to the mature methods in Guangfu in the past, the means of continuing to control and isolate the epidemic will not be able to be maintained.

After all, those who were encircled for the disease also had various relatives and friends among the rebels; Most of them don't care about the big picture

, wanting to leave this plagued Jedi with their loved ones is what they want now. Not to mention the tens of thousands of local people in this city.

However, as the Empress Zhonglang of the General's Mansion sent Huang Cun out to chase and escape, Yang Shigu didn't even have the ability to stop them; At this moment, he suddenly became a little sad

What is the purpose of all this that I have always been busy and working hard for, and how did it come to this point.

"You should also take someone out to avoid it."

Yang Shigu said to this leader with some interest

"At this time, the epidemic is going to be uncontrollable, and it doesn't look at people."

"Yang Junshi, you haven't left, and I can't go."

The leader smiled innocently and said.

"Actually, my military master and general are gone, there are few people left, and there is nowhere to go now, so it is better to try your luck with your old man."

"You have a heart,"

Yang Shigu then remembered that the other party was gathered back after being scattered, but he was temporarily placed in the back formation waiting for the remnants to be sent and assigned, but it was not good to criticize him anymore

Turn relieved.

"After getting through this difficulty, I will recommend it to the Yellow King. For now, I'm going to bother you to find some people to take a second look at the city gates. ”

Then, he remembered the message sent by the Yellow King two days ago. However, he instructed him to have a private relationship with Wang Zimian and the virtual monk who occupied the Guangfu side in his personal name

to see if we can restore some basic contacts under the table first.

But as the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, what credentials and conditions can he come up with to turn his face against the facts, and he almost didn't tear up the last layer of the relationship on the surface

The other party is negotiating.

Could it be that these military resources and materials under his own nominal jurisdiction, but the major stakeholder involved in this is not his own power center that has temporarily left the military government?

Can an empty military advisor who has spoken not very well be able to bear and bear it.

And as the army of the Yellow King snowballed after leaving the mountains, and the number of people who gathered and defected became more and more, the behavior of others became more and more unpredictable and unseemly

Get it; When has it become that they cannot easily communicate with each other, but rely on this kind of back-and-forth indirect intentions and more and more frequent scheming methods

to maintain all kinds of daily internal relationships.

Yang Shigu opened his mouth and surrendered his subordinates to the environment, but he saw the leader who had just gone out, and he was covered in sweat as if he had been fished out of the water, and almost

Let the prostrated messenger return.

"The sailors of the righteous army suffered a great defeat in the battle of Yangyezhou, and all the people under the Mondutong were defeated."

"The Yellow King has already led his formation from Pengze City to protrude and moved into the territory of Hongzhou;"

"The southern wing of the commander who stayed in Peng Ze was killed by his subordinates, and he has already opened the door to surrender the officers and troops,"

"Now under the leadership of the dog thieves of the Huainan Army, they have divided their troops to chase and kill Xunyang."

"By the time I ran all the way, the Hukou garrison on the east bank of Peng Lize (the predecessor of today's Poyang Lake) had already escaped, and there were traces of official and military outposts."

"So I specially grabbed a boat to get over, and the Tongbing military division hurried...

Yang Shigu couldn't help but buzz in his head, as if he had been knocked hard, and the rest of the words couldn't be listened to at all; I just feel that the incomparably sad comes from the heart, and I am

Have you been given up and forgotten in disguise?

"Please also ask the military advisor to put aside other irrelevant things, and go south by boat to join the main formation."

The other party's continued words pulled him back from this emotion, and the military government had finally not forgotten his existence.

"And what about the rest of the city."

Then after habitually asking this sentence, Yang Shigu suddenly seemed to understand that he had become much older, and he no longer asked questions.
