The sun is about to set, and the gorgeous sunset is still floating on the horizon.

Yang Xiaoshan's army was already not far from the city gate.

"Fight the honor guard of the East King!" Wu Ruxiao hurriedly commanded.

Some of the defenders on the Changshu city wall gathered together to talk, some seemed to be sleeping, and some were even smoking a big cigarette, Yang Xiaoshan looked at them and shook his head again and again, if such a lax defense is attacked by the Qing army, how can it be good?

"King Dong, the old brothers are fighting less and less, and the new brothers are increasing in large numbers, they have not experienced any war, and the military discipline is a little lax." Wu Ruxiao understood what Yang Xiaoshan was thinking.

"Old Wu, now that the team of your old brothers can still maintain the tradition of our old Guangxi team, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really don't believe that these are our Taiping Army, which is worse than the green battalion soldiers of the Qing Demon!" This road gave Yang Xiaoshan a particularly great stimulus, after leaving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for so long, he couldn't imagine that the team would degenerate to such a point.

When the army entered the city, a recruit from Changshu wanted to come forward to ask, but a veteran hurriedly grabbed him: "You are crazy, this is the team of the East King." ”

"How does the East King pull? Isn't our great leader also a king? "The recruits don't know about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom yet.

"King of the East, temperate the kings, all the princes have to listen to the king of the east! You don't know that? The veteran knocked the recruit on the head and lectured.

"Good boy, so big!" The recruit stuck out his tongue and was startled.

"Get out of the way, they're in such a hurry, it seems that we're going to be unlucky than the king." The veteran's eyesight was good, and he saw the anger of Yang Xiaoshan's team.

On the other hand, in the palace, Qian Guiren, the king of the east, had already received the information that Yang Xiaoshan, the king of the east, had entered the city, and he was completely panicked. Why did Dongwang come to Changshu with this joint, did he find out that he was going to surrender the Qing army, and he didn't come early or late, but he came at this time.

"You shouldn't find out, you are very hidden in doing things, and the king of the east has never negotiated with you, and you may not even know yourself." Qian Guiren comforted himself that when Yang Xiaoshan was in command, he was only a middle- and lower-level officer, and he was not qualified to enter the camp for ceremonies, he knew Yang Xiaoshan, and Yang Xiaoshan did not necessarily know himself.

"Hurry up, tell your subordinates to greet the East King!" Qian Guiren hurriedly greeted the housekeeper of the Biwang Mansion, arranged it, and greeted the East King.

When Yang Xiaoshan came to the palace, his face was even worse.

This is more than the main body of the palace can be seen that the original is Changshu's official office yamen, but obviously the expansion has changed a lot, not only looks brilliant, poor and extravagant, under the eaves there is actually engraved with the dragon gold color, this is the palace of the capital does not dare, this is more than the palace actually made a row of edges.

After entering the palace, there are all kinds of pavilions and rockery ponds in the palace, surrounded by green trees, fragrant flowers, it seems that this is more than the king for this palace is to spend all his thoughts.

"With all your thoughts on such enjoyment, how can you still have the heart to fight the demons?" Yang Xiaoshan said secretly, feeling even more unbearable about this than the king in his heart.

"King Dong, the last general Qian Rengui welcomes the late, and asks for forgiveness, and please forgive your sins." Than Wang Qian Rengui panicked and brought his subordinates over to greet him.

Seeing that this was bigger than Wang Fat's head, the shiny golden crown on his head was very big and heavy, and the robe on his body was also very luxurious, Yang Xiaoshan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"You are Qian Rengui?" Yang Xiaoshan seemed to have some impression of him, but he was much fatter than before.

"Exactly, exactly, the East King, you are in command of the Western Expedition, and the last general is just a division commander under the King of Zhong, do you still remember me?" Qian Rengui tried to get closer to Yang Xiaoshan.

"Now you are a king, tell me how many demons you have killed." Yang Xiaoshan snorted coldly.

How dare Qian Rengui say that this is a king bought with money, so he can only laugh and say: "It's all appreciated by the king of heaven, sympathetic to the last general, just a fifth-class king, nothing, nothing?" ”

"Your soldiers are in the village near Changshu, do you know about robbing people's girls?" Yang Xiaoshan went straight to the point.

Qian Rengui's heart relaxed suddenly, it turned out that the king of the east came here because of this matter, not because he found that he was going to surrender, it was too good, his life could be saved.

This time, Qian Rengui began to perform. He knelt down, hugged Yang Xiaoshan's leg and cried: "King Dong, it's all my fault, thousands of our brothers in Changshu have nothing to eat, and we can't collect food." I pressed a little harder, I didn't expect this to happen, it was all the general's fault. "Actually, how can Qian Rengui not know? If he couldn't collect the grain, he robbed the women and sold them for money to pay for the army, which he himself asked his subordinates to do.

Yang Xiaoshan saw that he was crying heartbreakingly, and he was also blindfolded by him all of a sudden, and he also knew that the team's food supply was a very headache for the leader, seeing Qian Rengui bowing his head and admitting his mistake, his tone was not as tough as before.

"The military discipline of your team is really poor, look at those people in the city, and some people smoke big cigarettes? How do you lead the team? Yang Xiaoshan then reprimanded, but his tone was a little softer than before.

Qian Rengui saw that his crying scene had some effect, and hurriedly continued: "King Dong, the battle has been fought to this point, Changshu Xiaocheng can't recruit soldiers, and the last general can only make do with it, this is the last general's negligence, the last general will definitely kick out all these guys who don't abide by military discipline out of our Taiping Army when he turns around." ”

"General Qian, now the Kingdom of Heaven is at a critical juncture, the more this situation is, the more we must pay close attention to military discipline, so that the people trust us and stand on our side. You haven't been in Heaven for a day or two, and you should be very clear about our military discipline requirements. Yang Xiaoshan said bitterly, and wanted to save him. After all, now that the talents of the Kingdom of Heaven are withering, it is the time to employ people, and he also wants to give Qian Rengui a chance.

"Yes, yes, the things taught by the king of the east, the general will definitely follow the teachings of the king of the east." Qian Rengui's surface kung fu was full and almost deceived Yang Xiaoshan.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a person broke into the palace, and this person was Qian Rengui's confidant Luo Guozhong.

As soon as he rushed in, he knelt down and shouted, "King Dong, I report Qian Rengui." This guy wants to become a demon and wants to dedicate Changshu to Li Hongzhang! ”

It turned out that the sudden visit of the East King frightened Luo Guozhong, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Xiaoshan had seen through Qian Rengui's plan and was here to get Qian Rengui. Luo Guozhong is more sure of his judgment, Qian Rengui must have failed.

Qian Rengui, who was kneeling on the side, didn't expect Luo Guozhong to betray himself at this time, and he died of grievance in his heart, and he didn't expect that he had fallen into his own hands. It's no wonder that others are at both ends of the snake and the mouse, and their subordinates are definitely not loyal people.

"King Dong, don't believe him, he spews blood." Qian Rengui was still quibbling.

"King Dong, there are more than 500 old brothers from Liangguang in Changshu Prison, this is ironclad evidence that Qian Rengui has become a demon, and the King of East sent someone to take a look." Luo Guozhong immediately said that he had sold Qian Rengui all at once.

Qian Rengui collapsed to the ground, knowing that he was finished.
