Breathing in the choking smell of fireworks, looking at Wuchang City, which was still in flames, Xiang Rong's face changed for a while, and his brows were even tightened from time to time.

"Why are you so worried?"

It was here that Zhao Cunlan asked softly on the side.

"It's not this city yet, you see, this fold says that Wuchang has been recaptured, but this city has all been set on fire, this, how to explain to the court?"

For Xiang Rong, he naturally doesn't care, the whole city of Wuchang is almost in flames, just like when the governor of Hubei Chang Dachun used the houses outside the city to dig tunnels in order to avoid bandits, he was afraid that the residents would not leave, so he set fire to the outer city first, the fire burned for six days and nights, and tens of thousands of people were burned to death outside the city, Chang Dachun as a Han official still doesn't care about the life and death of the people, how can Xiang Rong care about an empty city, all he cares about is that the city is burned, and he sees that the fire may burn for a few days. Giving a mission to the emperor is what worries him the most.

As for the burning of this city, how many people will be burned to death? How many people will freeze to death in the future has nothing to do with him.

"Oh?"

Therefore, he responded in surprise, Zhao Cunlan unfolded the folding fan in his hand violently, although the cold wind was biting on the Turtle Mountain outside the city, but he spread the fan on his chest, which was like a Zhuge practice.

"Such a good thing, why is it like this?"

Meddlesome?

Turning his head, he looked at Zhao Cunlan in surprise, and Xiang Rong's face was full of puzzlement.

"My lord, the reason why this rebellion set fire to the city is not because he is afraid of the might of the adult's soldiers, and furthermore, the reason why he set fire to the city is precisely because he intends to use fire to tie up the adult, doesn't it mean that the rebellion has lost his courage, isn't it when the adult leads the army to pursue!"

"Brother Xinyi, when you say this, I'm really confused, you can say that you don't chase after the poor, why do you let me catch up now?"

Xiang Rong's sincerity fell in Zhao Cunlan's eyes, which really made him useful, he shook the fan in his hand and said.

"Dare to ask, how many of my officers and troops were there in Wuchang City?"

"No less than 20,000, and now more than half of it has been lost!"

"If that's the case, what if the adults catch up with Hong Yang? Furthermore, if Hong Yang's subordinates all threatened hundreds of thousands of people in the three towns of Wuhan, and claimed to be an army of 500,000, if he saw that the adults followed closely and counterattacked, what would the adults do? ”

"This ......"

Zhao Cunlan's reminder made Xiang Rong immediately aware of the danger, although he is now guilty of meritorious service, and the emperor's grace cannot be described as vast, but the fact is that the soldiers in his hands are now even less than 10,000 people, and they are still tired and tired.

"Brother Xinyi, we wait, we are the officials of the imperial court, and we should serve the imperial court ......"

Even Xiang Rong himself didn't believe what he said, the court wanted to repay, but if he didn't even have his life, what would he do?

"Therefore, this Hongyang naturally wants to chase, not only chasing, but also all the elites, followed by this Wuchang...... Adults might as well come back and let the emperor know that the adults are loyal to the king! ”

Zhao Cunlan said while gently shaking the paper fan in his hand, if it weren't for the biting cold wind, it would really have a bit of elegance.

"And then it's this chase, now it's the time of rebellion, with less than 10,000 troops of the owner, how can he seize his momentum, rather than this, why don't you follow your lord all the way, and wait until he meets with the minister of the Qin Mission, and then make a decision, I don't know why?"

Qi Shan, the minister of the Qincha in Zhao Cunlan's mouth, is now leading an army of more than 100,000 troops to the south, and it is better to wait until he meets with the minister of the Qincha before making a plan.

After a while, Xiang Rong Fang sighed.

"Well, for now, that's all there is to it...... But this Wuchang ......"

Looking at Wuchang City, which burned the sky red, Xiang Rong pointed to Wuchang and asked.

"What about this Wuchang?"

"It's okay to send someone to stay behind, what do you think?"

Seeing that the billowing black smoke had the potential to overwhelm the sky, Xiang Rong nodded and said.

"Just do what Brother Xinyi says!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Slightly clenched his fists and bowed, Zhao Cunlanyi looked elegant, and then he specially commanded.

"However, please pursue along the south of the Yangtze River."

"Oh? This is? ”

"There is no ship under the command of my lord, and when the time comes, when I get to Jiangxi, it is naturally blocked by the rivers and lakes, and I can't cross it!"

As a staff member, like any staff member, Zhao Cunlan first considers the interests of the proprietor, as for the interests of the imperial court - he, Zhao Cunlan, did not eat the country's money, so naturally he does not need to consider national affairs, and his plan is naturally for the benefit of the proprietor, as for whether it is beneficial to the imperial court, it is unknown.

When Xiang Rong sent troops to prepare for the pursuit of the generals, the Taiping army on the other side was also making plans to cover the safe navigation of the king and his people.

"Damn!"

Almost as soon as the holy official who announced the decree left, Wang Fu scolded here, and the bandits' dens stayed for a long time, and their temper and habits would always be affected a little.

"Isn't this using our brothers as guns, I thought that Huangzhou was heavily guarded, let our brothers fight the striker, and now I ****** let our palace behind, or behind the ass of the whole army, and take away our two brigades, damn it, isn't it obvious to let us die, who doesn't know, the army of the Qing demon has arrived in Henan, in case it hits......"

When he first went down the mountain, Wang Fu just wanted to find a background, but he never thought of being cannon fodder, but who would have thought that now he has not only become cannon fodder, but the other party even uses them as cannon fodder without disguise!

"That's it, the big boss, I can take a good look, just like their little family bears, they will definitely not become a big climate, it's really not good, let's just go ......"

Without waiting for Li Erhu to finish speaking, Wang Fu slapped him with his hand, and in the loud slap, Wang Fu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Chen Shuyang.

"Master Shishuai, the humble rank is just a momentary speech, and please ...... the sea and the sea."

"Haihan is a fart!"

Chen Shuyang smiled bitterly, he didn't mind saying anything foul, in this Taiping Army, even if there is a little talent, someone has to know whether it is not, look at the people in the house, Liu Jian is from the Hunan Tiandi Society, Li Yuanji is the Bangzi of Yueyang Wharf, everyone is in the eyes of the "Cantonese", isn't it the same identity - "outsiders".

"We have all ****** cannon fodder, the Qing army is coming slowly, if it comes quickly, whether you and I can save our heads, that's all a ......"

"What the hell!"

Liu Jian was the first to scold.

"Back then, when the leader would follow Li Dashuai, there would not be so many heads, whoever has the ability, who is on it, then like now, when the first "Guangdong Province" can crush you......"

Liu Jian's "Gang Society" Li Dashuai, in fact, four years ago Hunan Tiandi Association Li Yuanfa launched an uprising, at that time Liu Jian had participated in that uprising, and it was precisely because of the failure of the uprising that he lurked in the mountains, until the Taiping Army hit Hunan, before defecting to the Taiping Army, but who would have thought that those people would not look down on them because they were the members of the Heaven and Earth Society, but because they were not "from Guangdong Province", they were suppressed, and now they are even more watching those people push themselves to death, how can he stand this breath?

"Master Shuai, I can see it, those Cantonese are just using us as cannon fodder, and when the team is all gone, then the demons will pounce on us, and when the time comes, we will be all finished!"

So what to do?

Chen Shuyang's mind is calm, could it be true that he surrendered to the official army? Surrender, of course not, surrender is not the same as recruiting security, but how can the government recruit security now? And since ancient times, I thought that how many people who recruited An ended well?

The chaotic mind made Chen Shuyang at a loss for a while, and it took a while before he spoke.

"Well, brothers, you say, what can we do now? The government can't vote on the other side, and it's forcing us to die here, you tell me, what else do we have now! Come ......"

Leaning forward slightly, Chen Shuyang looked at a few people in the room.

"This is related to our own net worth and life, you say, what should we do?"
