Most of the grain and grass were burned, and the escort army also lost a lot of people, Feng Zicai and Deng Dinggong wanted to cry without tears, they no longer dared to move forward, so they could only stop temporarily, while commanding the army to guard the remaining supplies, while sending sentry scouts to check the situation on the top of the mountain, they wanted to find out, which group of rabbit cubs put cold arrows on their heads.

After investigation, they found that all the people who attacked on the top of the mountain had been withdrawn, and there was no trace left.

"Lao Feng, what should I do, these bunnies will only play tricks behind their backs, and they will run away when they hit, what do you say?" Deng Dinggong is angry and has nowhere to spill.

Yes, I suffered an unreasonable unclear breath for no reason, and Zuihou doesn't know who the opponent is, and whoever this kind of thing is put on it, it will make people angry.

"Old Deng, now is not the time to talk about this, we should think about what to do next." After all, Feng Zicai has grown a lot of age and thinks further.

"So what do you say?" Deng Dinggong said this sentence the most today.

"Alas, it seems that there is no better way, the only way is to protect the supplies around us, and wait for the arrival of the army, only when they arrive, we can join forces with them to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Feng Zicai said cautiously, he can't make the same mistake again.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Deng Dinggong also sighed and said.

"This time, the two of us are planted at home, such a major event, if the court knows about it, it will definitely sin the two of us, and we are afraid that we will not escape." Feng Zicai's mood is very depressed, who can be happy if something like this happens.

"I can't blame the two of us, both thieves are too insidious." Deng Dinggong felt that if the imperial court committed a serious crime against them, it would be unfair.

"What's the use of saying this, the reality is that the grain and grass have been destroyed, and the personnel have been damaged a lot, you think the court will listen to you to explain the objective reasons, no, even if there are objective reasons, the court will not let us go, they are angry, they are worried that there is no place to be angry, just right, we hit the muzzle of the gun, you say, it's not that we are unlucky, so what else, forget it, accept your fate." Feng Zicai said.

"Lao Feng, don't you care about politics? weishenmeYou can see these joints so clearly, I look at you, you are just pretending to be confused." Deng Ding is fair.

"It's hard to be confused, it's rare to be confused, to be sober when it's time to be sober, and to be confused when it's time to be confused." Feng Zicai looked unfathomable.

"Okay, okay, Lao Feng, don't talk about those esoteric truths, I'm too lazy to think about it, you say, if the court blames it, we really have no other way?" Deng Dinggong can't just let the court buckle a big hat on his head, he has to find a way to reduce the guilt.

"What can be done, the steel knife is raised in the hands of others, and we can only admit the life of the slaughter." Feng Zicai said helplessly.

"Alas, why are we so unlucky, before I came, I naively thought it was a trip to the United States, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this thing was made like this, it's not good, even the head will move, I don't know why it's so bothered." Deng Dinggong shook his head violently and sighed.

"Okay, you and I are both people who have led soldiers for many years, life and death should have been seen through, whether it is life or death, let it be fate." Feng Zicai knew that no matter how much he thought about it, it would only increase his troubles sharply, and it would not help, so it was better to keep a normal mind and follow everything.

"Lao Feng, after we deliver the supplies, we won't go back to Beijing, just stay in Zeng Guofan's camp and help him fight the Taiping Army, you say, will he take us in?" After a while, Deng Dinggong said again.

"Don't even think about it, Lao Deng, I can tell you, as the generals of the imperial court, something went wrong, what will the imperial court do to us, the imperial court has its own laws, we can't fight these crooked ideas that don't have to do with June Fourth, this is unacceptable." As soon as Deng Dinggong's words came out, Feng Zicai immediately stopped him, obviously understanding what Deng Dinggong wanted to fight.

"Lao Feng, I'm just assuming, I don't really want to do it, anyway, I have nothing to do now, the right is to chat, you talk about it, what will Zeng Guofan think?" Deng Dinggong still did not give up.

"I don't know." Feng Zicai replied very simply.

"I said, Lao Deng, why are you like this, can't you just chat, as if you really want you to do something, it's really boring." Deng Dinggong chattered endlessly.

Feng Zicai ignored him and let Deng Dinggong complain there.

"Then should we write a table and report it to the court now?" Deng Dinggong was bitterly angry, and seeing that Feng Zicai didn't pay much attention to him, he changed the topic again.

"Don't be busy, after all the supplies have safely arrived at the front camp and the losses have been counted in detail, we can write a form to report to the imperial court." Feng Zicai calculates every step very well.

"Yes, Lao Feng, what you think about is thoughtful." Deng Dinggong is telling the truth.

"That's a must, we've made mistakes and we can't make any bigger mistakes." Feng Zicai became more and more cautious after the accident.

"By the way, the sentry sent out doesn't know if they have connected with Zeng Guofan's receiving army, it's really urgent." Deng Ding is fair.

"Yes, if you stay a little longer, there will be an extra moment of danger, I hope they can come as soon as possible, only when these things are delivered clearly, we can rest assured." Feng Zicai said.

While the two were discussing, the sentinel sent out to report that the receiving army had arrived at the mouth of the valley and was rushing towards this side.

When Feng Zicai and Deng Dinggong heard this, they were overjoyed, and finally waited for these saviors, they quickly packed up and stood in front of the team, ready to meet the army led by Li Yuandu and Luo Zenan.

The fires in the valley have been extinguished, and only a few scattered fires are still engulfing the grain and grass that have not yet been burned.

Li Yuandu and Luo Zenan led their army through the valley, and what they saw along the way shocked them, and all they could see was the burned grain cart. Although they had learned about the situation from the sentinels in advance, they did not expect that the damage would be so large.

The army led by Li Yuandu and Luo Zenan and the army led by Feng Zicai and Deng Dinggong finally converged.

"Two generals, it's been hard all the way." Li Yuandu and Luo Zenan hugged their fists at the same time to Feng Zicai.

"Where, where, I don't dare to work hard, but the loss of grain and grass is huge, and the two of us can be described as old-faced." Feng Zicai was ashamed.

"General Feng, you must not blame yourself, no matter who puts this matter on the table, you may not be able to be alone, because you may encounter Taiping thieves this time, these people don't know if they are crazy during this time, they pick other people's grain and grass to start, which makes people unguardable, and the grain and grass in our station are also burned by them." Li Yuandu was deeply sympathetic to Feng Zicai's plight.

"No wonder, no wonder, I just said that weishenme they are so skillful, and the advance and retreat are well-founded, it turned out that they met a real opponent, say a thousand, ten thousand, but also blame us for being too careless, if you are cautious, don't panic into the valley first, and wait for your army to come, and then go together, maybe this kind of thing will not happen, speaking of which, it's really embarrassing." Feng Zicai has no intention of shirking responsibility.

In fact, this incident in the valley has something to do with Deng Dinggong's insistence on entering the valley in advance, although Feng Zicai never blamed Deng Dinggong in his words, but Deng Dinggong understood in his heart that he was mostly to blame for this matter. Originally, Feng Zicai wanted to pass through the valley after converging Li Yuandu's army, but he Deng Dinggong insisted on leaving, so they would venture through the valley. If he could listen to Feng Zicai, maybe this would not have happened.

"General Feng, it is commendable that you can snatch back some of the grain and grass, and your ability to ensure that other materials are not lost." Luo Zenan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also said.

"Ashamed, ashamed." Feng Zicai was ashamed, but when he heard Luo Zenan say this, he felt a little better in his heart.

"Two generals, we also sent people to the top of the mountain to investigate, but did not find any traces left by the enemy, I have always wondered, they weishenme do not take advantage of the victory to attack, so as to try to snatch our remaining supplies, is it because they feel that the strength is not enough, impossible, since they are so well prepared, they must have a great deal of confidence to eat us, so why do they want to retreat silently, I have thought for a long time, and I can't understand, I wonder if the two generals can help me relieve my doubts?" Deng Dinggong said what he had been wondering about in his heart.

"According to my analysis, they should not be sure that they will swallow you in one breath in a short period of time, so they don't dare to make a rash move, and besides, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, they may already know that we are not far from you, if the war between them and you is stalemate, Zuihou is caught off guard by us behind the back, then they will lose more than they gain, so they will not take advantage of the situation to pursue after they succeed, but take it when they see it and quietly withdraw." Hearing this, Li Yuandu seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and it can be seen from this that this Li Yuandu is indeed extraordinary.

"General Li's analysis is very reasonable, like a pot empowerment, which made me suddenly open, I didn't expect this gang of thieves to be so cunning." Deng Dinggong was deeply touched.

"In the future, if you touch them, you must be careful, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may fall into their way." Li Yuandu reminded.

"General Xie Li reminded." Deng Ding is fair.

"Okay, generals, it's getting late, in my opinion, can we take these supplies to the camp first, and then talk about the rest?" Feng Zicai saw what he should say, and what he said was almost the same, and said.

Feng Zicai was worried about the safety of the materials, if he could get to the camp a moment earlier, then he would have one less responsibility, so he was in a hurry to urge them on the road.

"Yes, yes, General Feng is reasonable, let's go on the road, ask General Feng to arrange." Li Yuandu hurriedly said.

"Okay, General Li, I won't be polite to you, please open the way with General Luo in front, and I and Lao Deng will protect the supplies in the back, what do you think?" Feng Zicai said.

"So good." Li Yuandu and the two have no opinion.

After the distribution was completed, the army marched again and steadily marched towards the large camp of the Zeng State Domain. (To be continued.)
