In Tianchang County, there is also a tense atmosphere of martial law, and there is a faint smell of blood on the streets that has not yet dissipated, reminding people of what has happened.

"What? None of the people sent to chase it have come back so far? Then send someone again, a whole team of pursuers will not be able to disappear without a trace and abandonment. ”

Huang Cun, the commander of the left gate who was in charge of clearing the Great Wall of Heaven, said eagerly to the men gathered around him with helmets and armor.

"Zuodu, for the sake of doing things in this city, we really don't have more people at the moment. That group of horsemen managed to make it up with great difficulty,"

A subordinate general said with a bitter face.

"Otherwise, can you borrow some manpower from other brothers to support the envoys?"

Another subordinate interfaced.

"By no means, now that the military government is at a critical juncture, there can be no more variables."

Someone else persuaded him repeatedly.

"Maybe this guy doesn't know much, but he's just afraid of our actions, that's why... It's really a bit of a rumor for this fanfare.,It's not beautiful.。。 ”

"What about the people who were sent and didn't come back, it's a whole team."

"Maybe there are other things delayed, after all, this Yangzhou Zuo is all from our rebel army."

These disputes also made Huang Cun a little dizzy, and went straight to the nearest gatehouse. The clan brother who has always been good friends with him and has a lot of ideas, Huang Yi, who was promoted to the city patrol envoy in his mood, is stationed here.

"This time, there is a Wang surnamed Yu Hou in the doorman's class, but I'm afraid that things are not harmonious. I'm getting more and more unsteady in my heart. I just feel like there's a negative trust.。。 ”

After Huang Cun confided in this clan brother, he concluded.

"Whether you know or don't know, does it have much impact on our current affairs? Ah Cun,You're a little stubborn.。。 Just let the other side notice what to do.。。 This is where most people in the army are thinking, what can he do with tens of thousands of people in Huainan District, and how far can he go his own way? ”

As the least visible and non-existent among the eight sons of the Yellow Gate, Huang Yi sighed.

"Maybe that's a good thing. It's not that you secretly complain that the king is too lenient and dependent on him, and that you are drifting away from each other. The only thing to worry about is that it's a pity for that little sister Cao. Even.. ”

"What's the pity of a guy with a foreign surname picked up by an aunt halfway, if it weren't for her, why would Brother Hao be here."

Huang Cun was not angry and immediately retorted.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion on the name's head.

"Report, the team that Lin Senjun led to receive was attacked halfway. Request support for the moment and send troops to encircle and suppress. ”

Men rode into the gates and shouted.

At this moment, Huang Cun and Huang Yi's expressions became unbelievable, and they became erect; Suddenly, I put this annoying matter behind me for the time being.

。。。。。。。

In Yangzi County, a round of emergency mobilization was also carried out on the grounds of preparing for the enemy, and it entered a state of first-class combat readiness that could be deployed at any time.

"You are Wang Xingkong, who seems to have rushed out to report the news, go down to rest and heal, and I should be rewarded for such righteous deeds."

Zhou Huai'an said broadly to the person who came, and then he turned to the other generals present.

"I don't know what you think about this."

"This... Maybe it's unlikely. After all, it's the Yellow King, the leader of these hundreds of thousands of rebels. Was it so easy to be surrendered by the imperial court? ”

Wu Xingchen, the left-hand general who seemed to be the most anxious, couldn't wait to speak at the moment.

"Is there a misunderstanding and deviation?,Or is it just a false means.,After all, there have been similar actions before.。。 Or it's the private behavior of the people below, such as Mr. Shang. ”

Su Wuming, who looked a little thick and calm, then said slowly.

"What kind of madness is this, so that you don't want to put the current good situation and bend down to be the dog who wags his tail and begs for mercy in the court. This is so unconscionable. Will it be a means against this army"

Ma Junlang, who was in charge of the front, Liu Liumao, was also angry.

Hearing this, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart; His subordinates were all selected from the bottom of the rebel army, so their background was relatively clear and clean, and it was easier for them to learn and accept new things, while maintaining a boundary with the traditional rebel army.

But obviously, because of the beauty of a certain distance, there are still potential expectations and illusions for the rebels led by Huang Chao. Of course, if I didn't know some of the historical contexts, I wouldn't be like them.

"Judging from the current situation, why does the Yellow King need to be foolish about that dog court, but I know that there are quite a few thoughts and voices in the righteous army that intend to recruit peace. Most of them are demoted officials and belong to the official army, could it be an incident secretly caused by their peers. ”

The left forward general of the navy who attended the meeting was Wang Chongba, but it was undeniable that he held the middle way.

"Brothers, listen to me. This is a big matter, but it is not impossible to talk about it from the heart. To tell you the truth, there was no shortage of similar thoughts among the rebel brothers back then, but they were deceived and harmed by the Dog Court a lot,"

In the end, it was Zhu Cun, who had not spoken as the first deputy, who hesitated and said in a loud voice

"This time, someone risked his life to get away and report the news, but with the sudden and urgent action of the military government, it was uncommon and unprecedented; If you say that there has been no instruction and acquiescence from the Yellow King, it is also self-deception. ”

"Therefore, I think that even if there is not enough evidence in the end, it is necessary to take precautions, such as the change in Qizhou at the beginning is a lesson from the past."

"Then what should my generation do? It doesn't work, it doesn't work. It's really annoying. Isn't it possible to sit back and watch?"

Wu Xingchen, who was still the most anxious, shouted again.

"Then let's send someone to the General's Mansion to inform me first. Let's just say that our army has recently captured a messenger of the official army and is preparing to sneak into Yangzhou City to report the news. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Huaian already had a decision and a case.

And he has a document suspected of being issued by the imperial court, saying that the following Huang Wang has accepted the corresponding canonization and award; This is a vicious trick to divide our righteous army, and it has been notified to all the armies, and I hope that the military government will be vigilant just in case. ”

Now that we know this, based on the stance and concept that the Taiping Army has always emphasized, we cannot and cannot ignore it. However, under the disparity of forces, a direct showdown with the military government does not have much significance and effect, except for the means of fighting a fish to the death of a fish.

Therefore, Zhou Huai'an simply took advantage of the situation from the outside to test and force the General's Mansion to make a statement in disguise. In this way, it is also possible to take sides in a certain sense among the many rebels; Indirectly verify the basic attitudes and positions of the majority of people.

"Then call back as many people as possible, and order all the troops to pack up and stop, and the navy will strictly guard the ferry, prepare the corresponding boats, and make preparations to cross the river at any time and return to the south."

Wang Qiu, the deputy of the cavalry team, also looked at the animals lying on the ground in the distance with some sadness; Although he had repelled the enemies and had no damage except for a bruise on his forehead, his mount, the mule, named "Big Rollo", was unable to survive after being hit by several stray arrows because it was used as a makeshift cover for foot combat;

At present, the only way to do this is to slaughter and dispose of it on the spot, and take away the flesh that can be used. For this reason, he decided to name one of the mounts he was assigned "Big Rollo" to commemorate it.

And in the courtyard of Yangtze County, an encounter full of embarrassment is also taking place.

"Little lady, it's great that you're okay. We're finally together again. ”

Cui Wanting, who looked a little haggard and poignant, hugged Cao Xiaoniang and choked up a little; However, she was secretly becoming more and more unwilling and difficult to calm down.

Why is she in the middle of the situation, she can get the courtesy and care of that man; But he has to grovel to the best of his ability to please and welcome, like a wagging tail and begging for mercy, he has to endure hardships and suffer many sins in order to get this opportunity to stay.
