On August 6, Wu Heng led the last group of the 100,000 Taiping troops and quietly left the Taiping military camp at Hukou from the southwest.

Standing on a dirt slope across the horse, Wu Heng looked at the soldiers under his command on the march expressionlessly, and involuntarily looked in the direction of Liu Qing's main camp.

Liu Qing......

In all fairness, Wu Heng did not have any ill will towards Liu Qing at first, after all, as the son of Wu Wei, the first deputy commander of the Taiping Army, Wu Heng was instilled by his father with the belief of loyalty and patriotism since he was a child.

In fact, the reason that directly led to Wu Heng's extreme dissatisfaction with Liu Qing's mother and daughter was the appearance of Chen Bei.

Chen Bei, personal grievances aside, even Wu Heng has to admit that Chen Bei is indeed a rare tiger general in the world, and Qiangdi is simply a monster. Even if Wu Heng is conceited and brave, he can't take twenty moves in his hands, and this can be regarded as Chen Bei's mercy.

However, Chen Bei is not an excellent coach, not because of Wu Heng's private criticism, in fact, Chen Bei, the tiger general at that time, really lacked the talent that a coach should have, and his talent was reflected in the battlefield charge.

It can only be said that eleven years ago, the second-generation commander of the Taiping Army, that is, Liu Qing's mother, the woman named Qian, made a wrong decision on her deathbed, and pushed Chen Bei, who secretly admired her, to the position of the third-generation commander, which made Wu Heng and other young generals of the Taiping Army who were upright at that time complain.

In fact, thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with Liu Qian's decision from her point of view, after all, Liu Qing was only about four years old at the time, and Wu Heng, who enjoyed great prestige in the army, had reached the age of a weak crown, and Liu Qian was mostly worried about her daughter's young age. couldn't convince Wu Heng's generals, and united to secretly set her up, leading to an embarrassing situation where the master was weak and the servant was strong.

Since Liu Qian can become the second-generation coach, she is obviously not an ordinary woman, and before she dies, she naturally has to consider her daughter and pave the way for her.

In her opinion, the best way is nothing more than to find a trustworthy person to check and balance the group of people in the army.

Therefore. She chose Chen Bei.

First, Chen Bei attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and second, he has a crush on her and secretly admires her, a married woman who is more than ten years older than him.

Maybe Liu Qian also felt a little headache at that time. was loved by a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, but because of this, she trusted him very much, not only entrusted the entire Taiping Army to him, but also took her young daughter Liu Qing, who was only about four years old at the time.

Perhaps Liu Qian felt that she was about to die in the world, and she could no longer give Chen Bei any promises and agreements. Therefore, he deliberately wanted to match him with her daughter; In other words, Liu Qian, a woman, actually knows how to figure out people's hearts, and seeing that Chen Bei loves her so deeply, she entrusts her daughter to him with confidence.

In her opinion. Since Chen Bei cares about her so much, she will naturally treat her daughter well.

In the final analysis, it was the old thing more than ten years ago, what was Liu Qian's mind at that time. I'm afraid only she knows it, and with the death of this beauty who has been in love with Chen Bei for more than ten years. Later generations have no way to verify the truth of that time.

But in any case, the second-generation coach Liu Qian intends to match Chen Bei and her daughter Liu Qing, which is clear to the top of the Taiping Army, which is also the reason why Wu Heng is most dissatisfied with Chen Bei.

It's not that Wu Heng fell in love with Liu Qing, a yellow-haired girl who was only four or five years old at the time, in fact, even Liu Qing, who is now close to the age of Xuan, is just a little beautiful, not to mention the title of princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, at best she is just a pretty little girl, and she can't be compared with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Qin Ke'er and other women who are called stunners, in this case, how can Wu Heng look at a little girl who can be said to be his daughter at an age?

The key is that Liu Qing must not walk with Chen Bei!

Liu Qing: Who is that? That is the daughter of Liu Qian, the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, she is also a princess, she has the blood of the Liu family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, if the Southern Tang Dynasty is successfully restored in the future, the man who can marry this girl will undoubtedly become the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

What does this mean?

This means that once Liu Qing marries Chen Bei as her mother Liu Qian hopes, Chen Bei will be able to get rid of her status as a subordinate and become the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in other words, even the heirs of the first generation of Taiping Army soldiers like Wu Heng will have to call themselves subordinates after seeing Chen Bei.

This is what Wu Heng can't tolerate!

He couldn't tolerate Chen Bei, an outsider who didn't know the details, to be able to gain such a lofty status and status in the Taiping Army one day.

In all fairness, if Chen Bei is also the same as the withered sheep of the Jinling Ram family, he has the reputation of being loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty, then his relationship with Wu Heng will definitely not be so bad.

But it's a pity that Chen Bei is from a famous family, but he is the sworn enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, one of the Great Thursday Towns, and the son-in-law of the Liangqiu family in the Donggong Mansion.

Just look at the withered sheep, as a Southern Tang Zhongliang, he didn't even dare to make a noise when his sister Yiyi married Xie An, an important minister of the Great Zhou court, not to mention Chen Bei, who was hostile to many generals of the Taiping Army.

Perhaps, if Liu Qian's power in the dying generals was handed over to Wu Heng, let him serve as the third-generation commander, and let Chen Bei serve as the deputy commander, the current situation of the Taiping Army would obviously be much better.

First, Wu Heng is indeed a talented commander, with the power and means, and knows how to forbear, which must be no less inferior to Li Shen, the third son of Li Ji, the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the current King of Qin.

Second, if Chen Bei can get rid of the shackles of the boss's power and concentrate on dealing with the war, he will definitely become a battlefield veteran who even his cousin [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Wu is afraid of.

But unfortunately, Liu Qian reversed the positions of the two out of selfishness to protect her daughter, which made the extremely scheming Wu Heng quite limited in the position of deputy marshal, and also made it difficult for Chen Bei to exert his unparalleled force in the position of coach.

And more importantly, because of this incident, Wu Heng was deeply jealous of Chen Bei.

Heavenly Ji [Liu Qing]......

Since you, a stupid girl who doesn't know right from wrong, trust Chen Bei as much as your mother, then don't blame me Wu Heng!

With all the evil thoughts in his heart, Wu Heng rode his horse down the dirt slope with an expressionless face, and followed the team towards Jiangdong slowly.

It's not hard to guess. At this time, Wu Heng obviously had the intention to abandon [Heavenly Ji] Liu Qing, a princess who enjoyed a high reputation in the Taiping Army, and to put it nicely, he asked her to drag Xie An's 80,000 Liang army at Hukou, which was ugly, which was tantamount to letting Liu Qing fend for herself.

Even, it is best that Liu Qing can die at the mouth of the lake, anyway, it seems that such a disobedient king, Wu Heng is too lazy to push her to the throne. And if Liu Qing makes any mistakes, Chen Bei will definitely not give up. Most of them will attack Xie An's 80,000 Liang army desperately.

In Wu Heng's opinion, although Xie An's 80,000 Great Liang Army was well-armed, it would be easy for Chen Bei to kill Xie An, as long as he had murderous intent towards Xie An.

And Xie An died. The 80,000 Great Liang Army will obviously not give up, and will inevitably pursue and kill Chen Bei fiercely, and during the period when these two groups of people are fighting each other, he Wu Heng has enough time and troops to take down the entire Jiangdong and restore the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As for who will sit in the emperor's position, that is only a matter for later, anyway, he Wu Heng has already achieved the feat of restoring the Southern Tang Dynasty. It is enough to explain to the military and civilians of Jiangnan and Southern Tang.

I have to say that Wu Heng is indeed very thoughtful, and he is quite skilled in [borrowing a knife to kill] with one hand.

And at the same time, in the Hukou Zhou army camp. Xie An still didn't know that 100,000 soldiers of the 150,000 Taiping army had gone to Jiangdong, after all, in order to avoid suspicion, Wu Heng was also quite careful when marching, and was not bumped into by the Zhou army.

Anyway, he left behind a confidant general named Ma Fu. He was told to shoot his handwritten private message into the Zhou camp at night, so that Xie An could learn that his Taiping army had left Hankou for Jiangdong. I'm not afraid that Liu Qing won't die here. After all, in Wu Heng's view, Xie An can be regarded as an experienced commander with troops, and there are 80,000 well-equipped and well-trained Liang troops under his hands, if this can't get rid of Liu Qing, who only has 50,000 soldiers, then Wu Heng can only say that Zhou Guoqi is exhausted.

But at this time, Wu Heng's confidant general named Ma Fu had not yet shot the letter into the Zhou camp, so Xie An still thought that the main camp of the Taiping Army on the opposite side still had 150,000 troops, but he did not dare to act rashly.

On the afternoon of August 6, on the afternoon of the day when Wu Heng's last army quietly left Hukou, as the commander of the 80,000 Liang Army, Xie An was trying to stay and walk without the help of crutches under the support of Mirage Qin Keer and the little girl Wang Xin.

The so-called [100 days of wounded muscles and bones], under the careful diagnosis and treatment of Gou Gong, a half-baked man who used poison to outperform medical skills, although Xie An's days of cultivation were not as long as 100 days, but they were full of calculations, and there were about 70 days.

Come, in order to have a proper period, Gou Gong does not recommend Xie An to stay too early and try to walk, after all, Xie An's leg bones are still itchy, which means that the leg bones have not completely healed, but Xie An really can't take care of it for so long, think about it, call a person who comes to be good and decent, and recuperate on the bed and wheelchair for more than two months, Xie An really can't stand it, to put it vulgarly, in the past two months, he has sat so much that his butt is almost calloused.

Finally, under the nervous gaze of countless people in the tent holding their breath, Xie An took a small step with his right foot with the support of Qin Ke'er and Wang Xin.

"Good!" With Xiao Li's excited applause, everyone in the tent applauded, including the generals of the Liang Army led by Liang Cheng.

I have to say that just looking at the scene of Zhou Junshuai's account, it is worth sighing for Liu Qing.

is also as the commander of the First Army, the lieutenant general of the Taiping Army, and the deputy marshal Wu Heng went to Jiangdong with 100,000 elite Gu Zi, and let Liu Qing fend for himself at Hukou; On the other hand, on the side of Zhou Ying, the top and bottom were concentric, and even, the generals of the Great Liang Army such as Liang Cheng did not hesitate to applaud excitedly for their commander Xie An to take a small step.

In this case, if the Taiping Army can still win the Great Liang Army, it will be really unreasonable.

Of course, Xie An, as the person concerned, couldn't bear the excited eyes of his cronies and generals, and he really couldn't understand what was worth applauding after just walking a small step.

"You're all idle, aren't you? ――Where did you go to the marshal's tent to applaud? Xie An looked at the cronies and generals in the tent angrily.

Everyone in the tent laughed, and among them, Liang Cheng rarely said a joke.

"What the adults teach is ...... Aren't we all idle! -- Your lord is the [soul] of our army's 80,000 soldiers, and only when you stand firm, can our army's 80,000 soldiers stand firm, isn't it? ”

It may be that he has been in contact with Xie An for a short time. Liang Cheng also has a little understanding of his own coach's character, but he is not as restrained as he was at the beginning.

"You ......" Xie An was speechless when he heard this, after all, except for the nine thousand cavalry who didn't know which col to hide in at the moment, the remaining more than 70,000 Liang troops really had nothing to do.

No, as soon as I heard that my boss was going to try to stay, I ran to applaud and cheer one by one, and I didn't want to think about what was commendable about it.

It can only be said that these people are really idle and have nothing to do.

Looking at the group of idlers in the tent and shaking their heads speechlessly, Xie An took a deep breath. patted the back of Qin Ke'er and Wang Xin's two daughters' hands, motioned for them to let go of themselves, and said softly, "Ke'er, girl." You two let me go first, and I'll try it myself......"

"Oh, brother, then you have to be careful......"

"Yes, sir......"

Qin Ke'er and Wang Xin cautiously let go of the little hands that were holding Xie An's hands and took a small step back.

I saw that under the nervous gaze of the idlers in the tent, Xie An took a few deep breaths. Staggering a step.

Finally......

Before Xie An, who was a little excited in his heart, could show a happy smile, a shout suddenly exploded in the tent, and Xie An was shocked and almost fell to the ground.

"Xiao Li. You kid get out of the house! Xie An glared viciously at Xiao Li, who almost made a fool of him.

In fact, long before Xie An spoke, Xiao Li, who felt that he was going to be unlucky, had already escaped in the laughter of idlers in the tent, hiding outside the curtain at the tent, and poked his head inward after half a sound. looked at Xie An with a sneer, a look of flattery.

Shook his head speechlessly. Xie An didn't pay attention to this reckless man, balanced his body, and took another step, and immediately, many idlers in the tent applauded, Rao is face was quite thick-skinned, and he also felt a little uncomfortable.

After walking back and forth in the tent for about a long time, Xie An's head gradually became tired of a layer of sweat, although the steps taken were only a handful, but whether it was him or the idlers in the tent, they were very happy in their hearts.

"Your Excellency, wait a minute." Walked forward and squatted down, Gou Gong pinched Xie An's leg bone with a serious face, pinched and pressed it inch by inch, and after half a sound, his serious face showed a relaxed smile of relief, stood up, nodded and said, "There should be no problem, the bones have roughly grown, but for the sake of properness, it is recommended that adults in the next month, it is best not to move more, and it is okay to ......move a little."

"Hmm!" Xie An nodded again and again, although Gou Gong was just a half-baked Langzhong, and he couldn't compare with Jin Ling'er in terms of medical skills, but now that Jin Ling'er was not there, Xie An could only listen to the diagnosis of this guy who used poison better than medicine.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Hearing Gou Gong's words, the idlers in the tent hugged their fists and threw their hands at Xie An, dictating words of congratulations, which made Xie Anxin feel speechless.

But for the sake of being in a good mood at the moment, Xie An was happy to cooperate with them.

"Rejoice together, rejoice together!"

After making a lot of noise, many idlers in the tent retired one after another, although these people actually had nothing to do, but it was not good to stay in Xie An's handsome tent all the time, after all, they could still see the look on Xie An's face.

As a result, Liang Cheng and other generals of the Great Liang Army continued to patrol all parts of the camp, and the assassins of Dongling and Jinling went back to their own tents and sharpened their swords.

In the huge handsome tent, only Xie An, Qin Keer, and Wang Xin were left.

For some reason, Qin Ke'er suddenly noticed that Xie An's gaze looking at her was full of aggression, and this discovery made her heart pound.

"Girl?"

"Huh?" Suddenly, hearing Xie An's shouting, the little girl Wang Xin raised her head suspiciously, and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?" ”

Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the anxious Qin Ke'er, Xie An smiled and said, "Gou Gong is clumsy, maybe he will fry his brother's medicine, you go and watch it for your brother, and when the medicine is ready, bring the medicine for your brother, okay?" ”

As if noticing Xie An's glance with ulterior motives, Qin Ke'er's breathing accelerated slightly. What are you talking about Gou Gong being clumsy, the medicine you have been drinking in the past few months has been boiled by that subordinate, right?

I obviously want to get rid of this stupid girl!

Qin Ke'er secretly despised in her heart, looked at Wang Xin a little nervously, and secretly prayed in her heart that this little girl would not be deceived by her unkind brother.

It's a pity that the little girl's wisdom has not reached Qin Ke'er's level at all, and after listening to Xie An's words, her eyes lit up, and she said with joy, "Let me go and decoct medicine for my brother?" ”

"Well, this is you! - In other words, only you can do it! In the blink of an eye, Xie An spared no effort to praise the little girl.

Under Qin Ke'er's gaze with a secret sigh, the little girl blushed with joy, nodded and said, "Well, I'll go watch it for my brother!" With that, she staggered away from the tent.

It was so easy to be deceived......

Don't go, stupid girl!

Qin Ke'er couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, seeing that the little girl had just left the handsome tent happily with her front feet, and she felt two eyes full of aggression on her back feet.

"Kerr?"

"Old man......"

"Come and sit here." Xie An patted the bed beside him.

"......" Qin Ke'er hesitated, walked over with his head down, and sat beside Xie An obediently.

"Kerr, I'm so happy today, do you know why?"

Looking up at Xie An's eyes full of meaning, Qin Ke'er barely showed a little smile, and said softly, "It must be because the old man's legs are almost healed......"

"Yes," holding Qin Ke'er's waist with one hand, Xie An said with a smile, "I'm really happy, my legs are almost healed, do you know why?" ”

What other reasons could there be? Isn't that ......

Qin Ke'er was discussing, and suddenly, as if she realized something, she looked at Xie An and opened her mouth silently, and then lowered her head with a flushed face.

Are you finally going to do it to yourself?

This guy ......

"Tonight, how's it going? Sure enough, master, I'm still used to taking the initiative......" Xie An smiled and whispered in Qin Ke'er's ear, the warm breath made Qin Ke'er tremble, and the roots of his ears gradually became red and hot.

Glancing at the small bed in the opposite place, Qin Ke'er was sincerely grateful to the little girl who was hostile to her for the first time, after all, in order to prevent her brother-in-law Xie An from being [deceived] by Qin Ke'er, a fox spirit, the little girl also set up a small bed in Xie An's handsome tent, and monitored Qin Ke'er for twelve hours a day.

"No, sir...... If the lady finds out......"

"Don't be afraid, as long as we keep quiet, that stupid girl won't find out, she's so stupid......"

As an elder brother, even if it is a righteous brother, has he buried his sister like this?

Qin Ke'er really wanted to give up for Wang Xin, a little girl.

However, compared with herself, she still felt that she was much more aggrieved than Wang Xin.

Damn, what is that little girl doing in Liu Qing? Wasn't it smart and clever in the past? Could it be that this guy really fell for this guy's trick so easily?

At this moment, Qin Ke'er desperately hoped that her ally [Heavenly Ji] Liu Qing could immediately break through the camp, so as to avoid the suffering of the man in front of her, but she didn't know that Liu Qing at the moment only had 50,000 soldiers in her hands.

It is undeniable that in fact, at present, Liu Qing is also preparing to attack Xie An's camp and try to decipher the Zhou army [code] she deciphered, but she just doesn't know if she can catch up......

Well, most of them won't be able to catch up......
