In view of the fact that the Wu army in Shanghai was set up on the outskirts of the city to defend the passes, the Taiping army also dispersed its forces, and also established many camps in the suburbs of Shanghai to confront the Wu army's strongholds, among which Lu Shunde's department was responsible for the Pudong battlefield, and the main force was stationed on the east bank of the Huangpu River; Tan Shaoguang and Huang Zilong were jointly responsible for the most important Puxi battlefield, and the main force was also stationed in the Xinqiao area southwest of Xinzhuang.

According to the agreement before the war, after a day of hard fighting, Tan Shaoguang's Taiping Army, who was responsible for the main attack that day, rested and slept peacefully, and was only responsible for caring for the safety of the self-army camp. On the same day, Huang Zilong's troops, who were responsible for containing the attack, took on the important task of patrolling at night, sending a large number of soldiers to patrol the perimeter as a unit to prevent the Wu army from sending troops to attack or play other tricks at night.

Of course, patrolling in the field with black lights is not a beautiful difference, especially the Taiping army troops wandering in the outermost part of the defense area, and they have to always be on guard against the sneak attack or cold guns of the Wu army, which is not only bitter and tiring, but also dangerous to their lives at any time.

Fortunately, however, the Taiping Army Corps, which patrolled the outermost part of the defense zone tonight, was lucky, and never encountered any danger, and finally stayed up until half past four in the morning while yawning.

"Fuck it, it's almost dawn, and I can't even open my eyes."

"Come and change the guard, I want to sleep, I just want to sleep."

"Shhhh

"Help! Help me! Soldiers of the kingdom of heaven, save me! There's a demon chasing me! ”

The sudden cry for help interrupted the whispering of the Taiping Army, and the Taiping Army immediately raised their guns to take precautions, and probed their brains to see the direction from which the sound came. Then, in addition to a clearer cry for help, a stumbling figure also appeared in the moonlight's field of vision of the Taiping Army.

This Taiping army team did not dare to agree casually, in addition to being afraid that this was a trap for the Wu army to lure the enemy, but also afraid that the person who asked for help would be pursued by the Wu army behind him, and the result was not surprising, a group of pursuing figures appeared behind the person, shouting: "Stop!" Shoot if you don't stand still! ”

Bang bang bang, and the sound of gunshots, the man screamed and fell to the ground, and when he struggled to get up, the man didn't know what he threw in the direction of the Taiping Army, and then stumbled in the other direction and ran away, the Wu soldiers behind him shot again, and the man was shot again and fell, and then there was no movement, it should have been out of breath.

During this period, because of the discovery of a large number of enemies, the neighboring Taiping army did not dare to make any moves, and all of them lay motionless in the dark, for fear of suffering doom after being exposed. But fortunately, those Wu soldiers never found out that there were Taiping soldiers hiding nearby, and they were also afraid that the gunfire would attract a sneak attack by Taiping soldiers, so they quickly left with the body of the person who was being hunted and killed, and did not search carefully around the scene.

The person who was being chased and killed threw something in the other direction before he died, the moonlight was bright, and several Taiping soldiers could see it clearly, and after the Wu soldiers who were chasing and killing walked away with the corpses, these Taiping soldiers of course touched the scene not far away to search, and they really found a purse, in addition to a few pieces of broken silver and some copper coins in the purse, there was also a letter that was pinched and hardened into the purse.

Then, of course, when it was all dark, this letter was placed in front of Huang Zilong, who was having breakfast, and what surprised Huang Zilong was that the cover of this letter not only had Chinese words personally received by Tan Shaoguang, but the text was still written with a foreigner's pen, and the payment was more directly written in English letters that Huang Zilong could not understand at all.

"How does it look like a letter written by a foreigner?"

Under the suspicion in his heart, Huang Zilong did not rush to send someone to deliver the letter to Tan Shaoguang, and first found a well-paid interpreter to translate the signature for him, but the answer given by the interpreter made Huang Zilong even more surprised - the signature on the envelope turned out to be the name of the current commander of the British Army in Shanghai, Dieffrey!

The fire paint on the envelope had been crushed when it was put into the purse, the seal had been opened, and he couldn't help but be curious, Huang Zilong still took out the letterhead to watch, and saw that the letters were all written in foreign characters, Huang Zilong just hesitated, and immediately handed the letterhead to the interpreter, and instructed: "Translate it into our words, read it to me." ”

The interpreter agreed, read the content first, sorted it out, and then read it while translating: "Dear Tan, I have seen the letter that you kindly reminded, thank you very much for your concern for me, I will respect your suggestion, and I will not let Teng Hu Zhou's group of Qingguo bastards find out that I am your friend." ”

"Rest assured, I'm ready to join forces with you to eliminate the stingy bastards of Tenghu Zhou and help you gain access to Shanghai, my men are looking forward to getting those lovely gold, silver, and jewels as soon as possible, they are loyal and brave enough to help you immensely on the battlefield. But I also hope that Tan will make good on your promise and give us the promised spoils, or else my lovely subordinates will become a bunch of vicious bastards. ”

"By the way, hurry up and get rid of those two damn bastard comrades Zilong Huang and Shunde Lu! It's best to use Tenghu Zhou's group of Qing bastards to kill them directly, as your envoy said, and take the opportunity to eat their army, land, and city! If you need it, my men and I can help you with everything! Your most loyal friend, British Army Colonel Still. ”

Listening to the content of the letter recited by the interpreter, Huang Zilong was only shocked at first, and did not understand why Tan Shaoguang had already established an alliance with the traitors of the British army but kept it secret from him, but when he heard the last paragraph read by the interpreter, all the doubts in Huang Zilong's heart were naturally solved, and then he immediately became angry, and couldn't help but say to the interpreter: "Read the last paragraph again." ”

The interpreter agreed and repeated the last paragraph again, Huang Zilong still couldn't believe it, and asked, "Is the translation correct?" Isn't that the content? ”

"Master Hou, if you don't believe in the villain's foreign level, you can find another interpreter to read to you." The translator who was hired with a high salary was a little unhappy and said: "If this is not the content, please resign the villain, and the villain does not want a salary." ”

Huang Zilong was even more silent when he heard this, and after his eyes rolled for a while, Huang Zilong also beckoned his confidants and soldiers to the front, and commanded in a low voice: "Immediately cross the river to see Prime Minister Lu, just say that I have a very important confidential matter to face him, and ask him to cross the river to meet me." Besides, please remember to bring the foreign translation from his army, and I have important foreign letters for him to see. ”

The soldiers agreed, and immediately took Huang Zilong's order arrow out of the camp and went to Pudong to contact Lu Shunde, leaving Huang Zilong to grit his teeth in the tent, and whispered viciously, "Okay, you Tan Shaoguang, not only want to eat alone, but also want to borrow a knife to kill people, and take the opportunity to eat Lao Tzu's territory, you wait!" ”

only cared about Tan Shaoguang's eating alone, or because of his son Huang Demao's reminder, Huang Zilong remembered that it was his army's turn to attack the main attack today, and he said reluctantly: "Let's fight according to the original plan, or the main attack on Sijing, and collect the troops on time at four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

After that, Huang Zilong no longer cared about this matter, and allowed the front-line generals to launch a strong attack on their own, let alone send people to monitor and supervise the battle, so as to prevent the front-line soldiers from stealing and playing tricks, and they could not do their work alone.
