Chapter 48 Borrowing Grain

In the evening of the same day, the good news was sent to Yang Xiuqing's house, although Yang Xiuqing was a little surprised, but did not take it too seriously, captured 1,000 enemies, killed 500 enemies, this can only be regarded as an ordinary victory in the Taiping army, so only casually praised two sentences, wrote down the credit first, and waved away the female soldiers who came to deliver the letter.

In short, in the eyes of Yang Xiuqing and Xiang Rong, this is just a mid-to-lower-scale ambush battle, winning is not enough to change the situation of the battle, and defeating it will not hurt the muscles and bones, except for the parties who are directly fighting, no one knows the final result, especially Fuxing was killed in the hands of Xiang Rong.

Because it was a lone army, and the entire southern Jiangsu region was still in the hands of the Qing court, Wang Feng specially picked up the mountains and forests and walked in a no-man's place, and the speed was not fast until the fifth day, that is, May 8, when he walked to the vicinity of Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture.

At the head of Liege, Wang Feng ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, leaning against the trunk of the tree, Hong Xuanjiao turned his head and said: "Wang Feng, aren't you boasting that you will solve the food problem?" Now the food in the army can only be eaten until tomorrow at most, so you should quickly find a way. ”

"Okay!" Wang Feng beckoned: "Lu Dayou, take some brothers to explore the neighborhood to see if there are any big families, be careful, don't let people find out your whereabouts." ”

"Yes!" Lu Dayou led a few people to run into the distance.

Hong Xuanjiao frowned and said: "Wang Feng, I thought you had any good ideas, it turned out to be a grain grab, and our Taiping Army is not allowed to rob grain, not to mention that this is on the territory of the Qing Demon, robbing grain, can you still not expose your whereabouts?" ”

Wang Feng said disapprerovingly: "What do you mean by robbery? I'm going to borrow it, and I'll pay it back later! Besides, what is the difference between the holy treasury system and robbery? ”

"Huh~~" Hong Xuanjiao didn't argue with Wang Feng, and chuckled: "You go to borrow, people are willing to borrow you, we are bandits, we are traitors, don't we have to rob in the end?" ”

"Hehe~~" Wang Feng smiled mysteriously: "It's not us who borrowed it, it was Lord Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu Province of the Qing Court Bureau, who sent us to borrow grain, do you understand?" ”

"Huh?" Hong Xuanjiao's face was stunned, and it took a long time before she suddenly realized: "Oh~~ No wonder you let those three hundred people keep braids, and you also left part of the cut braids, it turned out that you had already planned to pretend to be the Qing army, such a ghost idea can be come up, I really convince you, no, I have to go and see how you pretend to be the Qing army." ”

Li Erhu also patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the Qing army can't do anything else, bullying the common people are all first-class good hands, and the subordinates are willing to bring some brothers to help ensure that they don't show their feet. ”

Wang Feng waved his hand: "It's not a last resort, who wants to do such a thing?" It's better to do less, Li Erhu, when Lu Dayou comes back from the target, you will go and explain to the three hundred people, and then change all your brigade into Qing army uniforms, and the braids should be glued, by the way, find me and the prison army two sets of Qianzong official uniforms. ”

"Yes!" Li Erhu responded loudly.

"Huh?" Hong Xuanjiao seemed to think of something, and sighed lightly: "I see that you are not in a hurry all the way, if I hadn't reminded you, wouldn't you have thought of the problem of lack of food?" ”

"Sister Xuanjiao, you have wronged me!" Wang Feng hurriedly shouted: "You can't do it early or late, it's easy to be exposed too early, you have to calculate the time and place, you see, from Tianjing, there are hills and mountains all the way, and it's easy to hide your whereabouts, but after Changzhou, until Shanghai is a flat river, no matter how careful we are, we will be discovered, after borrowing, immediately run to Shanghai as fast as possible, first hit the demon by surprise, and then think about how to rescue the knife will!" ”

"Huh~~" Hong Xuanjiao spat out a turbid breath: "I found that I was useless at all, this way was all your idea, I was thinking, if it was not the king of heaven and his heavenly brother who were in charge when Jintian raised the army, but you, I am afraid that it would be impossible for my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to come down for three years and only occupy a corner of Tianjing." ”

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "Who knows what didn't happen, just like your dead ghost man, who can be hit by cannonballs in the war, this luck is really nothing to say, Sister Xuanjiao, it's not me to hit you, it's better for women to stay away from the war, equality between men and women is not that women have to do the same thing as men, but they have their own division of labor, each doing their best, the king's will to liberate women is good, but it is overkill, however, you don't want to be arrogant, for example, while you are resting, you help me beat my legs and pinch my shoulders, isn't it good?" ”

Originally, Hong Xuanjiao didn't think much of what Wang Feng said, but after hearing the back, she was even more angry, and immediately smashed Wang Feng's thigh with a hard punch, as if she was beating his leg for him, and then twisted her head!

Wang Feng rubbed it and closed his eyes slightly.

After about an hour, Lu Dayou ran back out of breath, and Shi Li said: "The commander of the Imperial Supervisor, there is a Sheng Mansion near Longxi outside Wujin County, covering an area of dozens of acres, there must be a lot of grain!" ”

"Good!" Wang Feng shouted hello and waved his hand to Li Erhu, Li Erhu spread his legs and ran away, and after a while, two sets of Qing officer uniforms were sent over.

Wang Feng has no pressure to wear it by himself, except for lowering the brim of his hat slightly, so as not to expose the hair on his forehead, Hong Xuanjiao's face is full of hesitation.

Wang Feng couldn't help asking, "Sister Xuanjiao, what's wrong?" ”

"This" Hong Xuanjiao was puzzled: "It's always uncomfortable to wear your stinky man's clothes, and there is a smell of sweat." ”

"Hehe~~" Wang Feng smiled strangely: "Sister Xuanjiao, let's not talk about the second brother, since Tianjing came out, I have traveled so much every day, and the weather is getting hotter, but no one has taken a bath, you women smell good?" Don't be disgusted with this, get over it, when we have our own territory, even if you bathe with milk every day, I will raise a hundred and ten cows for you, come, hurry up and put them on, it's a big deal I'll wipe your body tonight, or you stay and wait. ”

"Wear it, I don't dare to work on you!" Hong Xuanjiao snorted lightly, pinched her nose and put her clothes outside.

Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao turned into the appearance of a thousand commanders of the Qing army, and Li Erhu's side was also ready, after explaining that the whole army stayed in place, Wang Feng left in a hurry with nearly a thousand people.

The Sheng Mansion is about fifteen miles away, and before he got close, he saw a large area of imposing buildings rolling along the terrain, and there were several smaller villages nearby, which was obviously a local noble family, and Lu Dayou really didn't brag about it!

Wang Feng waved his hand violently: "You, you, you, surround the Sheng Mansion from all sides, and no one is allowed to run away without Lao Tzu's order!" ”

Wang Feng's subordinates were all from the Qing army, and the Qing army was familiar with the big eaters, and they were all in good spirits, and they were assigned by Wang Feng to send several teams to surround the Sheng Mansion.

Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao led three hundred pigtailed soldiers and two hundred musketeers straight to the gate, and after turning over and dismounting, Wang Feng gave Li Erhu a look, Li Erhu rushed up, bang, and slapped hard.
