[The college entrance examination is over, and the education reform is going to be Σ(°△°|||) 】

On the fifth day of the first month of August, on the official road fifteen miles away from Xinyang, the Qing soldiers who had returned from the Rolling River Battlefield were slowly surging towards the city, and the banner of Jingzhou General Yongrui had been erected in Xinyang, as well as Zhao Yongji, the deputy general of the Xiangyang City Garrison, and the two Qing army bosses who escaped from the Rolling River Battlefield were collecting scattered remnants. Of course, Yongrui was shot in the shoulder, and his shoulder blades were broken, so it is naturally impossible for people to really be directors, and it is Zhao Yongji who is in charge in Xinyang City.

And the current Qing army is precisely the army of the Xiangyang City garrison, the Xiangyang City garrison has suffered greater losses than other teams, on the first night, Chen Ming attacked the Qing army camp, and the team that collided was the Xiangyang City garrison. So their speed and determination to run away were only slightly behind the flag soldiers, but just like the flag soldiers were taken care of by Chen Jiajun's horse team, they were also chased by Chen Jiajun all the way from Xiping to Queshan County, muskets, spears, shields and other things that hindered their escape were all lost, and many people didn't even have a waist knife, which was really embarrassing to the extreme.

Zhang Chongbei was carrying a waist knife on his waist, his head was bare, the cool hat was long gone, his body was black and not slipping away, and his two eyes were like the national treasure giant pandas of later generations, blue and black, but the eyes were full of bloodshots. Where is there still a little bit of majestic shadow of Xiangyang guarding the door. But regardless of whether he was majestic or not, he finally returned to Xinyang alive and returned to this safe place, which at least had not been patronized by Chen Jiajun.

God is pitiful, when the army entered Henan from Wusheng, he passed through Xinyang in the team, this interval was only a few days, but it was ......, like a world away, like a world away.

He finally led his troops to escape from the county seat of Queshan, and met Wang Zhiyuan of the right battalion by the Wuwuzhai River, and the number of people who met in pairs was about 100 people, and then on the way south, he met a few soldiers from Xiangyang, and also got the news that their battalion officers were hung up in the chaotic army.

Zhang Chongbei and Wang Zhiyuan did not come in a disorder, the strength of 100 people was already very strong, the villages they passed along the way, asked for grain for grain, pigs and sheep for pigs and sheep, Zhang Wang and Wang were in addition to eating and drinking, there was no longer much time to delay, and they came to Xinyang City one by one. The two of them didn't know that Chen Erbao, who had collected troops from Qushan County and returned to Ruyang, really didn't make the next step south, and their tension was in vain.

The closer he got to Xinyang City, the slower Zhang Chongbei felt his steps. He already has more than 120 people under him, and the troops are 100 whole, but now the original people under his command who escaped from Xiping with him are not even 20 people, if he returns to Xiangyang, how can he explain to the parents of his subordinates? Moreover, the thieves are strong, and the court must take the suppression of bandits as the first priority, and it is unknown whether the brothers' pensions can be obtained, so how can the family who has lost his brother live?

Wang Zhiyuan was lying on an ox cart in the back, this strong man was quite strong, and he couldn't get his life after a few hits, although the wound on his thigh made him unable to walk freely, but his voice was loud, his voice was high, and he was full of energy.

Wang Zhiyuan has been scolding and scolding, this garrison master who is famous for his spear kung fu in the Xiangyang Green Camp, is angry about the defeat of the army in Xiping. Zhang Chongbei also persuaded him at the beginning, you can scold him, don't go overboard, Wang Zhiyuan is too old in his scolding, you say that you are a Han person, dare to scold the flag soldiers for being incompetent and cowardly, aren't you asking for trouble?

Wang Zhiyuan also knew that Zhang Chongbei was doing this for his good, and he did restrain a little when he scolded later. But Zhang Chongbei felt that in the midst of the defeated army, Wang Zhiyuan walked all the way and scolded all the way, and he didn't feel good after all. At this time, you should walk quietly, Zhang Chongbei's scolding is annoying.

It's also because Sure Mountain is not too far from Xinyang City, nothing happened to their defeated army on the road, and the bad changes that Zhang Chongbei thought about in his mind scared himself a little.

No matter how slow the speed is, there is a moment when you reach the end, and Xinyang City is in front of you.

Zhang Chongbei stopped, Wang Zhiyuan suppressed the scolding, and the team stopped a mile or two away from the north pass of Xinyang City, because a team from the south pass was rushing towards them.

The sound of footsteps was bursting, and several flags guided the arrival of the brigade, faintly encircling the army of Zhang Chongbei and Wang Zhiyuan. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed abruptly, Zhang Chongbei swallowed his saliva vigorously, he didn't know what was going on. But when an unknown Qing military attache came up to them and ordered all of them to disarm, Zhang Chongbei obediently threw down the saber at his waist.

The military attache who was also the head of Qian glanced at Zhang Chongbei and Wang Zhiyuan on the ox cart, "Which part of you are from?" ”

"This brother, we are all guarding Xiangyang City." Wang Zhiyuan is not as timid as Zhang Chongbei, and his voice is loud.

Chief Officer Qian was not angry, he only glanced at Wang Zhiyuan again, waved his hand and said: "Search your body one by one, and those who dare to kill and loot the people will be taken down." The rest of the soldiers entered the west village of the city and left all the above here. ”

Zhang Chongbei was also anxious at this time, and hurriedly asked, "This brother, why is this?" We didn't rob or kill. ”

The thousand chief officers didn't answer, just waved their hands back, at least two hundred people rushed over, and Zhang Chongbei and his party retreated, guarding the weapons, and then two to one, two to one, and quickly searched everyone. Zhang Chongbei also breathed a sigh of relief, because the basis for these soldiers to judge whether to loot and kill the people was whether they had jewelry and a lot of gold and silver, and Zhang Chongbei and Wang Zhiyuan's defeated army obviously did not. Then Zhang Chongbei, Wang Zhiyuan and the three generals in the team were immediately treated much higher, entered Xinyang City, and officially enjoyed the treatment due to officers.

It wasn't until they met their top superior, Zhao Yongji, that the group knew why there was such a thing outside Beiguan. 、

Because of the news of the defeat of Xiping, murder and robbery, rape of women and children, and even slaughter of villages and villages, the news has somehow spread in Xinyang City in the past two days. And recently, some soldiers and officers have indeed taken out a lot of bloody jewelry to exchange gold and silver in the pawnshop in Xinyang City, which has caused too bad and too bad an impact.

Yongrui, who was seriously injured, was shocked by this incident. Although he is a Taiping general, his basic political qualities are not lacking, otherwise he would not have been repeatedly entrusted with important tasks by Qianlong, a son of the Yellow Belt Clan.

"Yesterday, fifty or sixty heads were just cut off in front of Dazhai in the west of the city. You guys are running for your lives all the way, and you can still not loot and kill, Zhao is very good in his heart. "Zhao Yongji's face is warm, the fifty heads yesterday are not all deserved, the flag man in charge of this matter did not put a flag soldier who escaped back into the fifty columns." Just rest and rest in Xinyang City, the Chen thief has returned to Ruyang Mansion City, and he will not attack south in a short time, so you will all rest assured in Xinyang and take care of your body. ”
