However, in the following time, the written application submitted directly by Zhou Huai'an was actually rejected, on the grounds that "the cost is too much and it is harmful to the military capital".

But on the other hand, Zhou Huai'an's application was approved to be handed over through Lin Yan, another seriously shrunken version; The so-called preparatory document of "making all the armies choose athletes and compete in front of the Yellow King for fun". And the host has also turned into another completely unfamiliar name.

Well, now he can confirm that at least in the Great General's Mansion, or a considerable number of people around Huang Chao have opinions about him. Even to the point that in addition to refusing reasonable requests on a daily basis, he will never let himself have the slightest opportunity to show off or perform.

The second fleet, which was much larger and laden with rice from Annam, became the last catalyst for the army to assemble and make noise in Canton for a long time, and finally to march northward.

Although there are obviously many gaps and deficiencies in the replenishment of specific money, food, armor and materials; There are still many things that are being produced and transferred, and there are still many materials on the books, which are still waiting to be collected and used in the warehouse; All of them add up to about one-third of what was planned.

And the generals of the big and small rebel armies who have been soaking in Guangzhou restaurants and brothels for days have also said that we have not completely recuperated physically and psychologically, and the voices of the majority of soldiers are strong.

But the final order from the general was still with Huang Chao's personal appearance in the large school field outside the city, as well as more than a dozen heads who were named and looked down, and dozens of people who were dragged out to be beaten with sticks or flailed to show the public; And it became the fact that the first detachment of men and horses belonging to the Third Army of the front wing drove away.

Of course, he also did a lot of work and effort during this period; For example, he publicly expressed his personal status and promised that the first batch of men and horses who were willing to take the initiative to ask for their lives as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition would be given priority to replenish the elite soldiers collected from all over the country and the standard armor stored in the Guangzhou Prefecture; There is also reward money and portable food distributed to the heads. As for the men and horses that are further back in the progress of the promotion, the less things they can get, and they will even have to accept the punishment of reduced troops, equipment, and supplies.

And these promises of his have completely become the practical pressure of Zhou Huai'an's busy and complicated work; After being busy from top to bottom and emaciating physically and mentally, and starting to make more and more frequent mistakes, omissions and accidents; Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but take advantage of his expediency, and asked to meet Huang Chao in person to make some suggestions, hoping to slow down the progress a little to ensure the efficiency of the preparations; At the very least, it can make the rebels more fully prepared, and the back road grain road is more powerful.

But Huang Chao's answer surprised him slightly.

"The grain road or something is actually not tight, when I led most of the righteous army, isn't this how I came all the way."

"What is the lack of food, clothing, and armor. As long as you have enough manpower, you can find it from the officers and soldiers. ”

"You only need to have more than a dozen Japanese food in front of the army, and only one walled city will be broken, and the next food and clothing will be naturally solved."

"Now I have been recuperating outside this mountain range for a long time. All the departments are replenished by themselves, and there is food for the troops. There's so much room for worry. ”

"Monk Xu, you are just in my righteous army for a short time, and you don't understand the reason."

At this point, he paused and continued.

"Now what is even more worrying is that the place outside this ridge has been enduring for a long time, and the sharpness and body bones of the soldiers have been dulled. You understand no. ”

Well, Zhou Huai'an could only secretly pinch his nose and retreat; The other party said that this kind of blind movement of the traditional peasant rebel army in the headless and fly-like way is so magnificent, justifiable, and justifiable, and how can I find fault? It's simply the best reason that there are no flaws in the whole body. Although complaints and remarks were given back

However, what Zhou Huai'an didn't think about was that in the following time, the situation began to gradually deteriorate and intensify; Because of the order of supplementation and the relationship between relatives and relatives, more than a dozen soldiers gathered in Guangfu began to use their own means, and those who were more polite would find ways to send favors to Zhou Huai'an, or ask for favors through various connections in the general; Unceremoniously began to use private means behind his back, directly threatening and luring these handling personnel.

Although Zhou Huai'an, as the chief planner who actually coordinated the assignment in the middle, no one dared to harass and be rude; But the men and makeovers he sent down did not have such luck and qualifications; So much so that for a period of time, there are often people who are sent out, because of unfounded names or imaginary reasons, they are held hostage and beaten every once in a while.

There is even a relatively strong military force, kidnapping and holding hostage specific personnel and unleashing rogue words, either immediately seeing ready-made things or handing over heads. Then Zhou Huai'an made an exception to ask for the few times he used the guards, and led the team to surround and rush into the opponent's camp, and cut off more than a dozen bloody heads, and this kind of thing stopped a little.

。。。。。。。

And in a group of rebels waiting to be raised, it belongs to the queue of kitchen fire.

Zhao Ziri, the official of Zhao Ziri, who was once the only master of Zhao Jiazhai, once struggled to deal with the fire in front of him, while muttering that he must have gone crazy; Otherwise, how could they calmly let the calamity star sit on their forehead close to each other and talk to each other.

"Under the surname Sue, people call me Lucky Sula."

And he is still spreading his poison to the people around him who are new to him.

"Not only do you win more in gambling, but you also have the luck of turning evil into good fortune again and again."

Hearing his boasting, Zhao Ziri only felt that the thing in his head that had come and broken at all had just jumped and jumped on it again, and he had stepped on it several times, and he couldn't continue to put it together. Zhao Ziri, whose brain had already been poured with boiling water to the north, suddenly stood up explosively from the silence.

"Look at that, it's Brother Zhao who has always taken care of me."

Then I saw that the little schoolmaster Sula also turned around when he heard the sound, and hurriedly gestured to him

"It's also the best testimony of my journey all the way."

Pu you old wood, Zhao Ziri only felt that there was smoke on the top of his head, and he was angry and exploded on the spot, and then he slipped before he could support the wall, and suddenly sat down on his back and sat down in the charcoal fire with only the remaining embers, and he screamed on the spot. The sound is so cut, it is really "smelling sadness, and those who see it crying".

At the last moment when he was carried away, Zhao Ziri still saw that evil face, and shouted loudly by shaking vigorously on the edge of his lifting frame.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you, don't leave."

Then, the entire lifting frame was suddenly opened and folded by him with all his strength, lost his balance and threw it aside, and directly knocked Zhao Ziri, who was upright and unable to move, overturned and laid it on the muddy ground and completely lost consciousness.
