In October of the fifth year of Xianfeng, Jiangsu, Moling Pass.

This year's winter seems to have come very early. The winter chill seems to be worse than usual.

The north wind came in the night, blowing a large flag in front of the barracks several times. The flag was stubbornly spread out again, and in the faint light of the lights, a vague "Chen" character was raised in the wind. Nearly two watches, one long and one less, under the illumination of the white-haired moonlight, brushed the flagpole with the surname Chen erected, and stepped into the military tent next to it. In the dim light of the tent, it could be seen that the old man was about forty years old, with a full beard and bright eyes. When he entered the tent, he called to the young man who seemed to be sitting alone in the tent: "See the Prime Minister!" ”

The young man had two moles under his eyes, his face was handsome, like a celestial, and he didn't see the slightest murderous aura - this was Chen Yucheng, the prime minister of the winter official of the Heavenly Kingdom, Chen Yucheng was shocked when he heard this, and when he saw the person clearly, he hurriedly got up and said: "Uncle, there are no outsiders at this moment, why be so polite?" ”

The bearded elder who was called "Uncle", Chen Yucheng's uncle Chen Shiyong smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the adults haven't had dinner yet, so come and have a look." ”。 At the age of fourteen, Chen Yucheng joined his uncle in the Jintian Uprising. Because of the 30 checkpoints on the right side of the palace, he unified the 13th Army and the 4th Army of the Water Battalion, and moved to Hubei, Anhui and other places. He is strict in governing the army, brave and strategic, good at building fortresses and besieging, and now he is only twenty years old and is already the prime minister of Dongguanzheng.

When Chen Yucheng heard this, he immediately looked at the young man in the guard's uniform behind Chen Shiyong, and saw Chen Yucheng's slightly reproachful gaze. The young man lowered his head and argued with some humility: "My lord, don't do lowly things. It was Uncle who asked me first, and I told the truth. ”

Chen Shiyong took two steps closer and said in a half-concerned and half-admonishing tone: "I know that my lord is still worried about Jurong's affairs, but the whole territory of Jiangsu Province is in an emergency, and it can't be solved without eating." The friendship between adults and Prime Minister Li Cheng is naturally known to us. But when Prime Minister Li Cheng sent a letter. But we may not be aware of our situation. Since such a big accident happened in Tianjing City in the first half of the year, Wing King Chitose left Tianjing again, and the Qing Demon here is also extremely rampant, if he knows. I won't be surprised by you. In fact, adults should know better than anyone else. We also have to defend against Zeng Guofan, who attacked Wuhu County, in Moling Pass. Our army is really powerless against the siege of Jurong! ”

In the second half of the fifth year of Xianfeng, the Qing court gritted its teeth and collected grain, grass, and silver to build the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. After Xiang Rong's death, the successor minister of the Qincha supervised the military affairs of Jiangnan and Chun and Zhang Guoliang set off from Jintan, bypassed Jurong, and re-encamped in Xiaoling Wei'an, at this time the people in Tianjing City were panicked, Shi Dakai ran away in a negative mood, and the army was unstable, and Chun camped for three days, and no one in Tianjing City came out to harass, so that Hechun set up the Jiangnan camp safe and sound.

He Chunzhi was complacent, so he turned the gun and pointed directly at Jurong, at this time it happened that Li Xiucheng, the deputy prime minister of the Taiping Army, led two thousand Taiping troops to defend Jurong, and now Zhang Guoliang was arrogant, besieging Jurong day and night, Li Xiucheng was a little difficult to resist, and sent a messenger to Moling Pass to find Chen Yucheng to rescue.

The Prime Minister Li Cheng in Chen Shiyong's mouth is Li Xiucheng, the deputy prime minister of the local government, Chen Yucheng has been listening attentively, and only then did he smile after Chen Shiyong finished speaking: "Got it, uncle, I figured it out just now, and I was about to ask someone to bring dinner." I've been eating a lot for the past few days, and now I want to."

"Oh, really?" When Chen Shiyong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "It's very good, I'll ask them to get some food." I know the taste of adults best, and you can eat deliciously. ”

"Then it's annoying Uncle to go by himself." Chen Yucheng nodded and smiled.

When Chen Shiyong walked out of the tent, the young man on the side, Chen Jucheng, the eighteen-year-old brother of the Yucheng clan, first looked at the door of the tent, and then approached Chen Yucheng's side, and whispered: "Brother Picheng, what you just said, is it true?" You really don't plan to save Brother Even? "Chen Yucheng's original name was Chen Picheng, Li Xiucheng's original name was Li Yiwen, Yucheng, and Xiucheng's name was given by Hong Xiuquan. In addition, the heavenly ritual system "brother" specifically refers to Jesus, so Chen Jucheng can only use "quietly" in private when he uses the old title.

"Jucheng," Chen Yucheng looked at this brother of the same clan who was two years younger than himself, laughed, and the smile on his handsome face was like Qiuxia, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

Ju Cheng was stunned by this sudden question, looking at Yucheng's expression, he couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while. He blinked—he resembled Jade, especially those large, divine eyes—and then said resolutely, "Don't be afraid! I heard that when the Lord led 500 Heavenly Soldiers to attack Zhenjiang City, it was as big as I am now. You're not afraid, and I'm not afraid! ”

"Good!" Yucheng patted the case and said with a smile: "You go right now, and ask Ye Jian and Commander Liu to come over for me, saying that I have something to discuss." ”

"Yes!" Jucheng simply agreed, turning and walking. When he arrived at the tent door, he couldn't help but stop, turned around, and said suspiciously: "My lord, you? ”

A smile flashed in Yucheng's eyes, and he said mysteriously: "I'll take you, another surprise attack!" ”

It wasn't until Jucheng's figure disappeared outside the tent door that the smile in his eyes converged and gradually turned into a color of determination

After a while, inspector Ye Yunlai and commander Liu Gunlin came to the tent together. After the ceremony, Ye Yunlai first asked straight to the point: "The Prime Minister called me and the two of us, but what's the urgency?" ”

"Exactly." Yucheng replied, "Jurong is besieged, and the two of you must have heard about asking for help from our army. ”

"Yes, we all know that." It was still Ye Yun who answered.

"I have decided to lead the headquarters of 3,000 brothers to aid Tongtong early tomorrow morning, and after I go, please ask the two commanders to lead the 10,000 brothers to continue to aid Wuhu!"

"Your Excellency, please think twice!" When Ye Yunlai heard this, he immediately blurted out.

"Yes, sir!" Liu Gunlin followed and said: "The adults only bring 3,000 people, and there are only less than 7,000 remnants in the city. ”

"You don't need to say more!" Chen Yucheng said categorically, "It is precisely because Jurong only has less than 3,000 remnants that I have to go!" He paused, softened his tone slightly, and said, "I also know that the enemy is outnumbered, and I will not fight the demon soldiers head-on, but only plan to attack them from behind and attack them unprepared." Of course, the demon army is powerful, and even if the two parts of us are combined, they may not be able to solve the siege of Jurong. I just want to slow down, and when the situation in Tianjing is a little calmer, and after the initial situation in Wuhu is decided, I think the king of heaven will send troops to help as soon as possible.
