At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, it is the location of the Chinese army of the general soldier Ma Tianbao. According to the arrangement of Lord Xiang Rong, the governor of Liangjiang, he had just moved to the camp a few days ago, and the thirteen battalions under his command only temporarily followed the eight battalions. After dividing the battalions, he ordered a tentative attack on the Qilin Gate.

The Taiping army in the city may have limited numbers, but they just blindly held on, without the slightest sign of counterattack. After attacking several times with no result, Ma Tianbao withdrew his troops and began to think about how to continue to expand northward, completely blocking the connection between Changmao and Zhenjiang in the city.

He sent two battalions of men and horses, and under the leadership of the adjutant general Chen Xingzu, he stretched out more than ten miles to the north, and then began to ask the governor to quickly call the other battalions to be built to ensure his own safety.

Before rushing to camp and send sentry spies around, Chen Xingzu did it in an orderly manner. In order to facilitate the long-term holding, he also called his soldiers to drive away all the common people who could be found nearby, men and women, young and old, who could move, and began to dig trenches and build drawbridges in front of the camp day and night.

It must be said that Chen Xingzu is still a general, and while doing all this, he even left a team of people in advance in an unnamed small village between him and the general army battalion, and agreed on the contact method and disposal decision in case of emergency. The first is to ensure the connection with the general army camp, and the second is to fear that the Taiping army in the city will take advantage of this gap. He felt that since it was going to be blocked, it was better to make the blockade as dense as possible, and it was better not to let go of even a fly.

A long-haired team that took advantage of the cover of night to transport grain and grass to the city was discovered by the men and horses in the small village in time, and the alarm was issued, Chen Xingzu immediately led his troops to cover the kill, and the men and horses of the general army battalion immediately came up with reinforcements. Although only a small part of the grain and grass carts were intercepted due to the long hair in the city, this is enough to show his foresight. While he was rewarded by the commander-in-chief, Chen Xingzu did not forget the brothers who made meritorious contributions. Zhang Fu, the team officer who commanded the team, was promoted to a registered sentry officer by him, and he made up for it in the future, and was rewarded with a lot of wine and meat.

After awarding the reward, Chen Xingzu looked at Zhang Fu, who was full of smugness and ready to leave on his face, patted him on the shoulder, and reminded, "Don't be careless when you go back, your task is to be a sentry, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't, you will avoid it." Longhair suffers, and he won't fail to pay attention to you. Just in case, send you fifteen more brothers. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Fu hugged his fists and looked arrogant, "Don't worry, adults, the little ones sleep with one eye open, and they will never ask Changmao to find anything cheap." ”

"That's good," Chen Xingzu smiled, "Follow this official well, and there will be more opportunities in the future." ”

"It's all up to the cultivation of adults!"

Zhang Fu left the camp contentedly and returned to that inconspicuous small village.

It is said to be inconspicuous because the village is too small, with a total of more than a dozen thatched houses, scattered on a mound. Due to the chaos of the war, most of them hid in nowhere, and now there is only one family left, and they are still an old couple. It's not that the old couple doesn't want to hide, but they are too old to run, and they have nowhere to go. It's really a person who doesn't rush things, things rush people, and the old couple who originally wanted to resign themselves to their fate really encountered a military disaster. Since the day before yesterday, as soon as more than 30 officers and soldiers were stationed, the old couple had become natural servants, diving, feeding horses, and cooking. If it weren't for the poor family with four walls, there might be some calamity.

When the sun was about to set, the leader who went out in the afternoon brought back more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and the old man looked at his old wife, who was black and yellow, sick, and felt uncomfortable for a while, and secretly complained. It's all to blame on this old woman, what is there to love in a broken family, it is better to go to the city at the beginning. As soon as he thought of this, the old man couldn't help but laugh at himself. I heard that the Taiping Army in the city is a men's and women's branch, and if I really want to go, the old couple have to live separately, and they don't even have a home. Besides, they are all a lot old, they can't do it vigorously, and the old woman is a problem, even if she goes, who wants to adopt a father for nothing? Since ancient times, I have only heard of children to raise, but I have never heard of choosing fathers and mothers.

"The military masters have been rewarded, and the two of you are also cheap, take care of it, and you can fight the rest of the sacrifices. Don't feel wronged by you, I hope that the military masters will stay for a few more days, and you will not have to shave your own food. ”

Zhang Fu commanded his subordinates to throw the meat and vegetables they had just brought back to the old couple, grinning with a big mouth, "I ate one of your old hens when I came the day before yesterday, and I saw that I felt sorry for you, so I will compensate you today." ”

Seeing Zhang Fu come out of the house, the old man smacked the ground.

"I'm an old hen for laying eggs!" The old woman sighed and muttered.

"Where to find some arsenic, feed these beasts at once." The old man looked at his wife beside him and muttered hatefully.

"Don't you dare to talk nonsense!" The old woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover the old man's mouth, and looked at the door in a panic, and saw that there was no one outside, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a terrible thing, so that they can hear it." ”

In another thatched hut not far away, dozens of people filled the room to the brim, flattering and touting, which made Zhang Fu's whole body feel light, and the pockmarks on his happy face trembled.

"Brothers, let's blow and blow, and we can't forget the real thing." When he said this, Zhang Fu raised his face, "After eating and drinking enough for a while, I will strengthen my guard as before." I patted my chest in front of Master Chen, and no one can afford to be guilty of a business trip. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Sentinel, we all sleep with one eye open, and not a single long hair will slip down our eyelids." A soldier lifted his eyelids with one hand, and made a strange appearance.

"That's right, we're all waiting to get rid of the Sentinel." "It's better to get some silver later."

"Haha, I think you'd be happiest if you could reward a few girls." The soldiers were coaxing.

Zhang Fu patted his chest with a haha, "No problem, as long as the long hair is eliminated, there will be anything." But now the most important thing is to go and repair the fence outside, once the long hair copied our nest, it will not be fragrant to eat. ”

After drumming up the so-called walled wall made of dozens of downed trees, the sky had already darkened, and almost every hand of the soldiers rubbed their shriveled stomachs, which had already begun to growl, and watched the bursts of cooking smoke rising from the roof of the old couple, swallowing and foaming from time to time.

Zhang Fu looked at the unpromising appearance of his subordinates, and instructed the two soldiers on duty, "Keep your eyes open, good things are indispensable to you." Then, he waved at his subordinates, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

Looking at his smiling subordinates, he still inevitably said again, "Drink less wine, and remember more mistakes." ”
