Confrontation is a very boring thing, it is boring, and the heart is tormented, and no one knows what will happen next, the heart is always hanging, and I can't let it go.

For the Taipings, it was true, and for the foreigners, it was also true.

To put it more clearly, both sides are now tense and waiting for an opportunity, waiting for what they think is a favorable opportunity, waiting for the other party to accidentally make a mistake, and time is also passing in waiting.

Bush boredomly brandished the command knife in his hand and slashed in the air to vent his exuberant energy.

"General, do you think General Marshall will be able to return in time?" Patton, who was beside Bush, asked cautiously.

As a fierce general under Bush, although Patton is also a murderous demon king of the world, but as the so-called one thing descends to one thing, he is in front of Bush, who is honest like a turtle grandson, as well-behaved as he wants, to exaggerate a little, that is, he doesn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and he doesn't dare to put a fart casually.

In fact, deep down in Patton's heart, he was arrogant, even a little empty-eyed.

Sometimes, in a quiet place without Bush, Patton often thinks in his heart what Bush and Marshall are, they are just rude and ignorant Yankees, how can they be compared with him, an orthodox British gentleman, besides, the British Emperor is known as the empire on which the sun never sets, and is the real hegemon of the world, what is the United States, at best, it can only be regarded as a small follower of the fox and the tiger behind the tiger, what is the great deal, and how can it be compared with their great British Empire.

Patton sometimes wondered how his esteemed queen could hand over such an important position as envoy to China and supreme commander of the Eight-Nation Coalition in China to the Americans.

However, this is just his personal thoughts, he understands, and understands very well, since the queen has made such a decision, there must be her reason, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, everything is just a matter of interest, Patton, as an officer loyal to the queen, only needs to obey the queen's holy decree unconditionally.

Although Patton looks down on the Americans a little bit, and also looks down on Bush and Marshall, he still deeply admires Bush's military quality and strategy, and there is something in this Bush that even Patton can't explain, which can make people involuntarily surrender, and it seems that this Bush was born to be a general and a leader.

Moreover, more importantly, this Bush is an out-and-out cold-blooded madman, he doesn't care whether you are his enemy or his own people, as long as anyone touches his mind a little, it may lead to death, to put it bluntly, he is a tyrant.

How could Barton not be careful when dealing with such a person.

After listening to Patton's words, Bush did not look back, nor did he stop the command knife in his hand, but swung a few knives more fiercely, and then turned his back to Patton and said, "He will definitely rush back."

Although Patton did not like Bush's arrogance, he still believed in Bush's words, and he did not think that the Taiping Army could stop their well-equipped, heroic and combative Eight-Nation Alliance.

"That's good, that's good." Barton nodded again and again, and said vigorously.

"Patton, what's going on on the Taiping side?" Bush looked in the direction of the Taiping formation and asked as if meaninglessly.

"What can they do, just a bunch of grass cobs, just waiting to die." Patton dismissed the authentic.

He has never looked at the Taiping army with a straight eye, he doesn't think that such an army is of any use, and those rumors that preach how powerful the Taiping army is are even more unbelievable, he doesn't think that the Taiping army is really much stronger than the Qing army, and the Qing army is losing and retreating in front of the Taiping army, that is not because of how capable the Taiping army is, but because the Qing army is too useless.

"Oh, Patton, it looks like you know the Taipings well, or, let's talk about the Taipings?" Bush narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

Patton's face changed, and he secretly said that what he said just now was too casual, and this guy Bush must not be satisfied, otherwise, Bush would not have spoken to him with such an attitude at such a time.

When Barton thought of this, his heart lifted up, and his palms sweated.

To tell the truth, he doesn't know much about the Taiping Army, and his usual understanding of them is only based on hearsay, and he has not personally heard and seen it, and Bush is now asking him, isn't that his life, Bush is already dissatisfied, if he talks nonsense again, in case he annoys this tyrant, isn't it boring for himself.

Barton regretted a little that he had just had a long mouth.

Looking at Patton's embarrassed face, Bush spoke again: "Patton, what, don't you want to?"

"No, no, no, general, it's just, it's just ......" Patton saw that Bush looked very unhappy, and the tone of his voice changed, so frightened that he almost peed his pants, he was in a hurry to explain, but he didn't say a reason for a long time.

"Okay, don't pretend, if I'm right, you're just talking nonsense." Bush was unrelenting.

When Patton heard Bush directly dismantle himself, he snapped and fell to the ground in fright, his face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he told him again and again: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore, I don't dare to do it again..."

Bush squatted down, stared coldly at Patton, who couldn't stop begging for mercy, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and then said without any emotion: "Are you afraid?"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, general, I'm really afraid." Barton nodded repeatedly.

He has a deep-seated fear of Bush.

"Am I that scary?" Bush said suddenly.

"This, this... I don't know." Barton's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

If he hadn't been at a disadvantage, he would have scolded Bush in his heart for being a bastard, is this talking about human words, but at such a time, the only thing he can say is that he doesn't know a few words.

"I don't think you dare to say it." Bush seems to have seen Patton through.

"No, no....oh, no, yes, yes......" Barton couldn't control his mouth a little and started talking a little incoherently.

Bush stood up with a cold face, suddenly flew up with a kick, kicked Barton out of the distance, and then scolded in his mouth: "Patton, you listen to Lao Tzu, what Lao Tzu has given you, you have to do a solid job for Lao Tzu, forget it this time, if you perfunctory Lao Tzu next time, Lao Tzu will never spare you."

Although Bush's scolding was fierce, it made Patton's whole body relax, he knew that his life was saved, Bush just scolded him, which meant that he would not be killed again, he picked up a life, thinking of this, he couldn't help touching the cold sweat on his head, and completely softened to the ground.

Patton understood the meaning of Bush's words, and he was blaming Patton for not reconnoitring the movements of the Taiping Army, perfunctory, and opening up his words to Bush, and this is exactly what Bush cannot tolerate.

In Bush's mind, no opponent is completely weak, and no opponent is negligible.

Moreover, from the course of their confrontation with the Taiping Army just now, Bush can see that apart from a certain gap between the Taiping Army and them in terms of weaponry and equipment, it is not necessarily inferior to them in other aspects such as military quality and tactical application.

That's why he taught Barton a lesson.

"Yes, general, I know that I am wrong, I must find out the next move of the Qing army, and then return to the general." How dare Patton not take it seriously, even if he despises the Taipings, he can't despise Bush, Bush can kill him anytime and anywhere.

"Get out!" Bush yelled.

When Patton saw Bush yelling at him, he didn't think he was worried, but he was happy, he knew that he was okay and had already picked up a life, so he rolled and crawled and quickly disappeared from Bush's face, so as not to cause Bush's unhappiness again, so as to torture his wounded little heart again, but he could no longer withstand the blow.

Bush looked at Patton, who was running away like a rabbit, shook his head, and threw a disdainful look at Patton's back.

Useless British, that's what Bush thinks at the moment.

After Patton fled to safety, he immediately began to deploy reconnaissance of the Taiping Army, which he had to take seriously and must not displease Bush again. (To be continued.)
