Cai Yingdou also attaches great importance to the collection of intelligence, otherwise he would not have won two victories against the Little Knife Society. As soon as he arrived in Changshu, he sent out a lot of secret agents to explore the strength of the Jiangyin Taiping Army. All the news of his return told him that there were only less than 4,000 defenders in Jiangyin City, and although there were still small Taiping troops in the villages and towns near Jiangyin, they were obviously busy with local stability.

He believed there shouldn't be more Taiping troops here. Attacking Wuxi and capturing Suzhou are all tough battles, not to mention that there are nearly 30,000 green battalion soldiers in Suzhou, and there are many fierce generals, and the main force of the Taiping Army will not do their best. The question is how to fight this battle so that they can hurt the Taiping army and make them have to return to Jiangyin? Of course, the old book still can't be folded here.

Just when he was thinking about it and pondering, an important piece of information came. In a small place called Xuejia Village, more than ten miles south of Jiangyin City, the banner of the "Pseudo-King An" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was discovered. After being confirmed by some neighboring people, it is certain that the "Pseudo-An King" surnamed Lin is stationed there, and there are only a few hundred people around him.

He didn't know how many kings there were in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but by feeling, if a king could appear here, he must be the head of their Eastern Expeditionary Army. This is a great opportunity, if you can knock out the head of the long hair in one fell swoop, the long hair will be in chaos without a fight, why worry about the siege of Wuxi? Cai Yingdou was extremely excited. The two attempts to block the knife will be successful, although it has only been verbally rewarded by the governor, and it has not yet received any benefits, but after all, there is already such a sum in the merit book. This time God has eyes, and the opportunity has come to him again, Sensei said that the dead prince is alive and the prince, and it is a miracle to get rid of the drum, and it seems that the top strap on his head is destined to be replaced.

Cai Yingdou decisively chose to attack Xuejia Village. In order to achieve the desired effect, he thought about it again and again, and finally chose to sneak attack lightly at night. He was very cunning, for fear of encountering an opponent who was not ordinary, and stealing chickens would not lead to a handful of rice, and under the pretext of being familiar with the terrain, he put Changshu's soldiers and horses in front. In the event of an emergency, it is better to leave yourself a way out.

It was almost midnight, and Lin Haifeng's eyes finally left the map, looking at Liu Xianghe, who was deftly folding the letter with two hands on the side, which was a letter he had just finished dictating to Hao Lisu, the political envoy of Jiangsu. He looked at the table below and smiled lightly, "Okay, give the letter to the person sent by Mr. Gu Tonglin, and you can go and rest." ”

"Rest?" Liu Xianghe looked at His Highness strangely, put the letter away, and stood up, "Isn't there still a big battle tonight?" ”

"Yes, but we don't need it, we should rest, we have to rest, and tomorrow will be tomorrow." Lin Haifeng pointed out the door, "The landlord's man is trapped doing business in Wuxi, and he can't come back, if the gunshots get up at night, the eldest mother and sister-in-law with the children will definitely be afraid, so you will be with them and sleep steadily." ”

"I... I'd like to stay here. Liu Xianghe muttered, his feet seemed to have roots, and he was reluctant to move.

"What's there to see here?" Lin Haifeng smiled, "I'll just sit here for a while, and I'll rest later." By the way, bring me some tobacco from Mr. Gu in a while. He took out the empty cigarette pack in his arms and patted it.

"Your Highness," Liu Xianghe opened his mouth and lowered his head slightly, "You can't smoke in front of outsiders, if you are reported to the East King and the Heavenly King, it will be amazing." Again... Say ...... again," she didn't say anything more, sighed inwardly, and walked out the door quickly.

Lin Haifeng sat down on the wooden bed steadily, put up Erlang's legs, controlled the remaining cigarette residue in the cigarette pack, rolled it, lit it, and took a deep breath. Looking at the pillar of smoke rising from the cigarette butts, he narrowed his eyes and sang softly, "The smoke is rolling and singing heroes, listening to the green mountains on all sides, the thunder beats the golden drum on a sunny day, the sea waves make a harmony, the people's soldiers drive the tigers and leopards, and forget to die to protect the peace...... "Singing and singing, suddenly a puff of smoke choked his throat, gnawed and coughed.

"Look, what's the good of smoking, choking, right?" Liu Xianghe turned around and heard His Highness singing a new song again, so he leaned against the door and listened quietly. Seeing that His Highness was choked and coughed and wheezing, tears were about to fall, and he hurriedly handed a glass of water on the table to His Highness's hand, "Singing and smoking, that's not choking." ”

"yes, yes, next time I smoke, I won't sing nonsense." Lin Haifeng rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and muttered in his mouth.

"Your Highness, what song was you singing just now, can you teach it to me again when you have time?" Liu Xianghe casually stuffed a cigarette purse into Lin Haifeng's hand, and asked with a flushed face.

"Okay, okay, wait for the free. You haven't forgotten that song a few days ago, have you? ”

"Look at what His Highness said, the one I cooked chicken soup for my relatives was precocious, where can I forget." Liu Xianghe said as he walked towards the door.

"Hehe, smart, it's better than this king, if this king can learn it in ten days." Lin Haifeng put the cigarette purse that Liu Xianghe had just given him to his nose and sniffed it, it was the newly roasted tobacco in Zhenjiang, and the aroma was tangy. At that moment, he suddenly noticed the cigarette purse. Strange, this seems to be the one that Liu Xianghe embroidered at the beginning, right?

"Your Highness, the outside is all arranged, and this troublemaker, the humble position has also been brought to His Highness." Huang Zaixing came in from outside like a gust of wind, followed by Zeng Jinfa and a wilting Chen Tingxiang.

Lin Haifeng looked at Liu Xianghe's back and stuffed the cigarette purse in his hand into his arms, but his cigarette was not extinguished, and the people around him who knew that he was smoking were no longer one or two. As long as he doesn't smoke outside, he comforts himself like this.

"To the east and north of the village, a platoon of troops was deployed on each of the first line of defense, ready to resist for a while, and then retreat to the second line of defense that had been constructed, concentrate the strength of the spy company, and use the trenches to block and consume the demons. The south was garrisoned by the communications battalion, and a group of soldiers and horses led by Chen Zongyang were already on standby ten miles to the west...... "Huang Zaixing made a detailed report on the pre-battle arrangements. Finally, he smiled, "As soon as the fight starts, I will command the east and north, and Minister Zeng will command the south." ”

"Yes, okay, that's all." Lin Haifeng was very satisfied with Huang Zaixing's ability, he motioned for Huang Zaixing and Zeng Jinfa to sit down, and then tilted his head to look at the wilting Chen Tingxiang, "Hehe, you all see, this Chen Tingxiang is still dressed quite well today, the water is slippery, well, this is the right name." How's it going, did you learn to do laundry? ”

"Your Highness, yes, yes, in the future, I will wash my humble duties every day, but... It's just ......" Chen Tingxiang looked at the two ministers in the room as if asking for help, hoping that they would help him say something good about him, as they said on the road. In any case, you can't miss the tear that is about to begin! For this reason, don't talk about doing laundry, it's okay to ask him to do anything.

Lin Haifeng walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulders, "In the future, you must be meticulous in doing things, don't always be smug and your butt looks like you're pointy." In addition, sorting out the military discipline and internal affairs of an individual or even an entire company is as important as fighting a war. As a company commander, we must play a leading role. ”

"Your Highness, I remember!" Chen Tingxiang's waist is quite straight, and he still wonders in his heart, wasn't my company commander removed? Could it be that His Highness forgot?

Lin Haifeng didn't know that he could think so much, so he pulled him to sit down casually, and then looked at Huang Zaixing and Zeng Jinfa, "I have an idea, let's discuss it......"
