The moon is like a hook, and in addition to the sound of footsteps in the camp, only the chirping of insects remains.

Hong Xuanjiao sat in the tent with an excited expression.

It's all up to tonight's actions.

After Li Zhen and Long Xi left during the day, she didn't pretend to be unconscious all the time, and soon returned to normal, and then instructed the soldiers patrolling outside the camp to prepare food, have a good meal, and quietly recuperate in the big tent, trying to recover her spirits. At night, Hong Xuanjiao still lit the oil lamp at the beginning, but later in order to make extraneous branches, she directly extinguished the oil lamp and sat alone in the camp tent and waited.

Time is so long, every second waits.

Rao is so, but she insists.

Hong Xuanjiao's spirit began to be excited, and she continued from night to night, looking forward to it.

In the middle of the night, the camp fell completely silent.

Hong Xuanjiao stood up, stretched her muscles, and looked solemn. She took a deep breath and walked lightly to the door of the tent, gently lifted the curtain, opened a small gap, and looked through the gap in the camp. Because the tent was dark, but there were torches shining outside the camp, no one found her hiding in the tent and peeking.

Hong Xuanjiao took a look and found that the patrol of the camp was not strict, only a team of more than 100 people was constantly patrolling. It's just that Hong Xuanjiao's mind is on how to escape from the camp, and she doesn't have the heart to analyze these things. She only hoped that the patrolling soldiers would not come here so that she could escape.

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Xuanjiao found that the patrol team had just passed outside the tent.

This time, Hong Xuanjiao was completely happy.

Fifteen minutes was enough time for her to sneak out.

After the patrolling soldiers passed through her tent, Hong Xuanjiao lifted the curtain and quickly ran out of the tent. Hong Xuanjiao was very vigilant after leaving the camp tent, and quickly ran to hide outside another camp tent to see if there was anyone. Seeing that there was no one on the road ahead, he continued to run forward, very fast.

In this way, Hong Xuanjiao continued to move forward.

On the way, Hong Xuanjiao encountered soldiers several times, but they all avoided it dangerously, and came to the edge of the camp without danger. This place is on the edge of the camp and is unguarded.

Hong Xuanjiao reached out and grabbed the fence and slammed it hard, but as soon as she used it, she immediately pulled the injuries on her body.

"Fight!"

Hong Xuanjiao drank violently, enduring the pain on her body and climbing up. He rolled over and jumped straight out of the camp. The moment she fell to the ground, she was not standing on the ground steadily, it was similar to rolling on the ground and falling to the ground with body pain.

"Bear with it, for revenge!"

Hong Xuanjiao comforted herself, looked at the camp again, and then walked into the night without looking back.

……

Camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

The oil lamp flickered gently, and Li Zhen worked at the desk, holding a quill pen in his hand, writing and drawing non-stop. In front of Li Zhen was a map with detailed maps of Yangzhou and Nanjing. Li Zhen marked many places on the map, all about the next movement arrangement.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was raised, and Long Xi walked in quickly.

"Dashuai!"

Long Xi's steps were brisk, and his face was happy.

Li Zhen put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile: "How is the situation, did Hong Xuanjiao escape?" ”

Long Xi nodded and said, "Well, I have already escaped." ”

Li Zhen said: "Very good, Hong Xuanjiao really entered the sleeve." Next, it depends on how Hong Xuanjiao acts. You send someone to follow this Hong Xuanjiao, if Hong Xuanjiao goes to Longtan Town, you can turn around and return. If Hong Xuanjiao didn't go to Longtan Town, but ran directly to Nanjing, she would be arrested immediately. Didn't work to get her out. ”

Long Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will immediately let Long Er and Long San track down Hong Xuanjiao." ”

Li Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to let Long Xi leave, and then extinguished the oil lamp and went to sleep.

……

On the morning of the next day, Li Zhen summoned the chief general of the army to the big tent of the Chinese army.

All the henchmen are gathered here.

Li Zhen's gaze swept over everyone sitting in the camp tent, and said in a deep voice: "I have gathered everyone today to discuss how to deal with the 15,000 Taiping soldiers detained in the camp. We ourselves have only 8,000 soldiers, and although these 8,000 soldiers can make the bandits obedient, we can't stop 15,000 mouths, and we need food. ”

"It's too much of a burden to keep captives in captives."

"Therefore, you have been summoned for the purpose of negotiating a charter for the treatment of the captives. In the future, when we fight the enemy and capture the enemy, we will draw a scoop according to the established regulations, and we will not have the headache we have today. What can you do with the captives in the army, just speak freely. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen looked at Ye Chengxin, who was sitting at the end, and ordered, "Xiao Ye, you remember the key points. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Cheng nodded heartily, prepared the rice paper, and picked up the pen to be ready to record at any time.

Li Zhen looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about it, what do you think?" ”

"Dashuai, I'll say it first!" Lu Shaochuan took the lead in raising his hand and said loudly: "Although the bandits are hateful, I have to tell the truth, they are all a group of poor people, a group of people who have no way out. Since they are innocent, can they arrest the generals in the bandit army, and then let the ordinary bandits go and let them leave on their own. ”

Lu Shaochuan is usually arrogant, but he takes great care of the people.

Long Xi immediately said: "Dashuai, I don't agree with Commander Lu's opinion. It is true that Regiment Commander Lu was well-intentioned and thought about the lives of the bandits, but he only considered the immediate solution and did not take into account the future path of the bandits. This time, the bandits were released, and they were able to escape. But what can they do after leaving? ”

"Perhaps, they can go farming, but can they make a living by farming? It turned out that these bandits were unable to live because they farmed, so they embarked on such a road of no return. They don't have any skills, and in the end they can only fall into the grass, or they gradually gather in Nanjing and become bandits again, I think it is definitely not feasible to let go of the bandits. ”

Lu Shaochuan said-for-tat: "What do you have in mind Brother Long?" ”

Long Yu said: "Not for the time being! ”

Lu Shaochuan snorted and didn't speak, but he understood that his method was not good.

Smith said, "Marshal, can we recruit some of the captured bandits into our army?" In accordance with the principle of strength and weakness, we have left the elite people behind and integrated them into the army to enhance our own strength. Then let go of the selected remaining soldiers, this release should not just be released, but also consider their livelihood to ensure that they can live. ”

Yang Luchan sighed: "The world is in chaos, and it is not easy to live. If they are allowed to move to Guangdong, it should be a good idea. But the process of migration is also very hard. ”

Li Zhen nodded, constantly thinking about methods.

This matter must be implemented, and a charter must be formed, so that it will not be chaotic in the future.
