Guoxing's whole fish feast is destined to not be eaten peacefully, although Mu Shun can completely get Ding Degui back, but he can't get over it in terms of face after all. Ding Degui was the main force of the reception, and it was still a little inappropriate for Guo Xing'a to be unpersonal, so Guo Xing'a could only put down his chopsticks and step on the war horse again to catch people.

Ding Degui's defeat was a mistake and a mistake. He first underestimated the enemy's carelessness, crashed headlong into the ambush circle of the Twist Army, and then hastily gave the order to retreat after the ambush. The retreat of the six hundred sailors was completely different from what Ding Degui imagined, they almost dispersed in a hurry, ran away in an instant, and there were only seven people left by Ding Degui's side who rushed back to Yi County. Of course, you can't blame the soldiers all, Ding Degui's way of giving orders is easy to misunderstand, and after the front was ambushed, Ding Degui shouted, "Run!" "Then he really ran away with his own soldiers, and when the soldiers knew what the situation was, they naturally dispersed in a hurry.

There are 100 cavalry on the surface, but there are actually 400 cavalry hidden in the secret, as long as you scout carefully, you can find it, but Ding Degui did not do this. The so-called ambush was just when Ding Degui's front was engaged with a hundred cavalry, and the Twist Army showed its hole cards. The assault of the Twist Army directly turned into a pursuit, and two hundred cavalry on war horses, with three hundred cavalry on mules, chased Ding Degui's general banner all the way to the city of Yixian.

After Guo Xing'a saw Ding Degui, his first reaction was not to save people, but to immediately order the cavalry to put on armor. Ding Degui was hit by two arrows, indicating that there were a large number of bows and arrows in the Twist Army, and the cavalry battalion that was dispatched in the nature of a ticket was not armored, and Guoxing A did not want his subordinates to be injured in this kind of battle. It wasn't until he was neatly dressed that Mu Shun led the cavalry battalion out of the camp again and rescued the embarrassed Ding Degui.

The battle between the two cavalry was really lackluster, and as soon as the Twist army appeared, it was bombarded by artillery, and after barely gathering the position, their bows and arrows were no match for the Qing infantry Minne's bullet muskets. Entering the distance of the charge, the Twist Army began to exchange the bows and arrows in his hands for sabers and spears, but was beaten by the shotguns of the Qing cavalry. When the Qing army also drew its saber, the destruction of the Twist army was irreversible.

Guo Xing'a took the medical soldiers to treat Ding Degui, whose face was pale and seemed to be about to die, while Mu Shun took a few personal soldiers and rode his horse to the high ground outside the city to check the overall battle situation. The four cavalry companies surrounded the Twist Corps, and they rushed back and forth wantonly, and the Twist Army, which was completely backward in terms of horses, weapons, and training, was almost powerless to fight back.

"Damn, what a prickly idea!" A ruddy-faced leader of the Twisted Army, who was obviously well nourished, screamed and cursed while looking for a way to escape.

"Damn, fight!" The other leader beside him was unwilling to admit defeat, observed left and right, and rode his horse straight to Mushun on the high ground. The so-called capture of the thief and capture the king first, Mu Shun sat on a horse and looked like a general of a first army.

"Watch me capture the thief!" Looking at the leader of the young man who rushed towards him, Mu Shun was very itchy, and after ordering his soldiers not to let go of the cold gun, he shouted and pulled out his saber and rushed down.

After the two horses staggered, they ran away, and the leader of the twisted army shook his right hand that was a little numb from the shock, and Mu Shun also secretly admired the opponent's martial arts. The young leader used a spear, which had an advantage in length, and between the lightning and flint just now, his spear pierced Mu Shun's choked throat. After Mu Shun blocked his spear, he slashed at the young man's neck with a backhand, and the young man raised the back rod of the spear with extremely fast reaction speed to block the fatal blow.

The two of them respectively circled the war horses and rushed to each other again, and after five or six rounds, the winner was decided. The saber made of Mushun steel cut off the spearhead of the young man, and stabbed straight ahead, and the blade cut off a large piece of flesh and blood on the young man's right shoulder. Both of them knew in their hearts that Mu Shun was taking advantage of the war horse and weapons, if Mu Shun's war horse was not so tall and fast, the result of this round was likely to be that the young man would pick Mu Shun off the horse.

Out of a certain sense of honor that Guo Xing'a could not understand, Mu Shun did not pursue the young man who fled in the wilderness, but rode back to the high ground with a rather heroic horse. The leader of the Twisted Army, who was well nourished, galloped over to pick up the wounded youth, and then the two quickly fled from the battlefield with a few relatives.

"Have you seen that person? How does it feel a little familiar! In the hollow phalanx, Cao Menghao felt that the leader of the Twisted Army who took the young man was a little familiar, and turned his head to ask Li Zhi beside him.

"It's not too impressive, but after you say it, it really looks familiar!" Li Zhi also felt a little familiar when Cao Mengyi mentioned it, but his impression was very vague.

"When have you seen it?" The cavalry is chasing after the poor, and there is no stage for the infantry to perform, and several infantry company commanders are chatting freely.

"Before joining the army! It's very blurry, isn't it like whom? Li Zhi had no impression that anyone resembled that person.

"I can't see clearly!" Cao Meng put down the monoculars and shook his head. The telescope is not a first-person lens, and it is difficult to see the face of a person on a high-speed horse.

"Maybe the body shape is a little similar to someone! How can anyone we know be a bandit! Li Zhi didn't care.

"That's right!" Cao Meng smiled a little reluctantly, there were few of his former friends left, and it was true that no one went back to be a bandit, but in fact, there was still one missing. Li Zhi has been with this person for a short time, so his impression is relatively vague, but he will not be wrong!

The few Twisters who escaped did not attract the attention of anyone other than Cao Meng, because they were only a very small minority of the very few. Of the 500 twisters, only twenty or thirty escaped, of whom more than 200 laid down their arms and became prisoners, while the other 200 or so became the heads of the horses hung on their horses. Ding Degui was not injured, because he had a good habit of paying attention to his appearance, and when he was in battle, he was wearing more than forty catties of iron armor, and the so-called two arrows were just stuck in the armor leaves.

Guo Xing'a, who entered the city in triumph again, still failed to eat the last few dishes of the all-fish feast, because Zou Chuan, who was very excited, changed the dishes with the support of several wealthy families in the city, and the fish banquet was upgraded to a full-scale feast. Guo Xing'a was served again, and it could not be described as shocked, and every dish he ate this time was worth hundreds of gold.

After eating and drinking for three days, Guo Xing'a, who had already settled the account, reluctantly said goodbye to Zou Chuan, Ding Degui, Wang Wenju and others, and Guo Xing'a pinched his thigh and forced himself to rush back to Gu'an, because if he ate any more, the British and French troops would land. The few people who saw them off were not as reluctant as Guoxing'a, although the Twist Army really came, but they suffered a big loss in the hands of Guoxing'a, and for a while and a half, there was no such thing as the one who was not afraid of death who dared to come to Yixian to die, so their mood could be described as happy and happy.

"Of course I want you to rise step by step, but if something happens one day, don't care about anything, just save your life, and then come to me, I'll arrange for you!" Guo Xing'a is very reluctant to the big fat man Zou Chuan, although Zou Chuan is not a good official or a good person, but he is really a very good fox friend and dog friend.

"Yun Shuai, this sentence is remembered by the officials! The mountain is high and the road is far away, Yun Shuai goes all the way! If there really is that day, Xia Guan will definitely play for Yun Shuai before and after the saddle! Zou Chuan was moved by what he said, but he was not moved at all in his heart, Guoxing Ah is really a crow's mouth, and he is still rising day by day!

As for Ding Degui and Wang Wenju, Guo Xing'a is purely diplomatic rhetoric, these two really have no advantages, and they can't eat all kinds of waste when they eat. The whole army reluctantly left Yixian, which was delicious and delicious, and then whipped the horses and drove to Yanzhou. Saishan'a and others originally suggested that Guoxing'a take Qufu, and then go north to Tai'an and then go to Jinan, so that they could visit Confucius and Mount Tai. However, in addition to reminiscing about the gorgeous delicacy offered by Zou Chuan, Guo Xing'a thought was about the British and French forces, where was he in the mood to visit Sage Kong, so he directly chose Yanzhou.

Guoxing's department was not idle along the way, and Emperor Xianfeng's edict to allow Guoxing'a to recruit soldiers and horses has not expired! Although the Enfeld M1853 was a bit insufficient, but a bunch of muskets of other miscellaneous brands were also captured, how could Goxinga be willing to let the weapon idle. Anyway, with a lot of silver in his hand, Guo Xing'a took away a large number of Shandong Hans along the way, and completed the formation of the second infantry battalion.

All the way through Tengzhou, Zoucheng, Yanzhou, Wenshang, Dongping, Pingyin, Gaotang, Pingyuan, and Pingyuan went straight to Dezhou, that is, the well-known places in "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" went shopping, and Guoxinga also made up for the regret of not eating a complete fish feast. The state capitals and counties along the way, there are receptions everywhere, and the dishes from the north and south are still eaten in different ways, and there are twenty or thirty tables at a time. Of course, these officials who accompany the guests are much worse than Zou Chuan, they will eat, and occasionally say something, Guo Xing'a can't understand. Where is like Zou Chuan, not only can you eat inside and outside, but also can talk about every dish and every kind of etiquette with a dish. Guo Xing'a finally knew what a decadent feudal dynasty was, it was too extravagant. Although the delicacy is innocent, a plate of vegetables can eat a small family's harvest for a year, and Guo Xing'a is also very guilty. In particular, many dishes are not delicious, such as "Thousand Lips Stacked Cui", which is not delicious at all, but it turns out that more than 1,000 fish are used, which is really precious for the sake of preciousness, of course, this is also related to the fact that Guo Xinga does not like smooth fish lips.

If Hong Xiuquan's corruption is the burning of the nouveau riche, the corruption of these officials is like the death of the rich second generation. They are all people who are poor and extravagant, and those who are inferior are desperate for food and cannot get them, and they are all people who are selfish to the extreme, completely ignoring the blood and tears of the people who are fighting each other. Guo Xing'a is also a member of the ruling group at the moment, although he is constantly roaring in the depths of his heart, he still eats and drinks calmly, after all, he can sit on the main seat to eat, drink and laugh without worrying about the rice grains in his bowl.

The city walls of Texas were already in sight, and Goxinga was still hiding in the carriage sobering up. After passing Yi County, rice wine with slightly weak alcohol power became rare, and Shandong officials were all good men who were not able to go to their posts in three bowls, and Guoxing'a, who had to go to a banquet every other day, was dizzy almost every day.

"Damn, this side is left! If you can't figure it out, you can't walk together, and you don't even want to eat tonight! The carriage moved a little slower, and Goxinga's carriage was closer to Jiying's second infantry battalion, and the loud shouting and scolding of Hatan came clearly again.

"Brothers, work hard! When I arrived in Texas, I gave everyone beef and wine! Guo Xing'a leaned out half of his body to cheer up these Shandong soldiers who were being trained and abused by recruits.

"Thank you, sir!" Although they can't learn to walk in unison, the slogans can still be shouted by the recruits.

"Your Excellency, go to the city and rest! These bunnies can't do it if they don't practice, I'll take them outside the city to practice well! "Ji Young is also very dissatisfied with his subordinates, they are not even able to compare to the dolls of the teaching team at the moment.

"Okay,...... Hatan, don't hit anyone! Guo Xing'a nodded and was about to go back to the car to rest, but suddenly he was worried that Hatan would not be able to control his temperament, so he leaned out and added.

"Huh! My lord, don't worry! If I beat people up again, I'll write you a thousand-word check! Hatan said with a grin.

"Fuck off!" Goxinga waved his hand impatiently and drove Hatan away.

The main force all walked towards Texas City, while Ji Ying and Hart turned to the east with the second battalion of infantry, watching the recruits walk away under Hatan's scolding, Guo Xinga suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
