After signing the alliance under the city with Prince Gong, Seng Greenqin was discussing the defense of Xuzhou, and suddenly there was a report from the horse, and the Taiping army had arrived at the village of Xuzhou ten miles outside the city.

When the two heard this, they were shocked, they didn't expect the Taiping army to come so quickly, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they immediately sent an order down and ordered the whole city to be on alert and prepare to resist the attack of the Taiping army.

Outside the city of Xuzhou, after the Taiping army went down to the village, Huang Xu summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

In Huang Xu's Chinese military tent, all the generals gathered together, or in groups of two, or groups of three or five, gathered together with each other and discussed the current battle situation in a whisper.

Huang Xu looked at the generals under the tent, smiled slightly, raised his hand and pressed it down, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, be quiet."

As soon as Huang Xu's voice fell, the big tent immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes suddenly converged on Huang Xu.

Huang Xu's face was straight, and he continued: "Please come here at this time, not for anything else, mainly to discuss with you, how to break the enemy next, you don't have to be restrained, you can speak at will?"

When they heard this, they were eager to try.

"Marshal, according to the comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, our army exceeds the Qing army by too much, so the last general thinks that there is no need to delay here, and directly attack the city" Yang Yiqing stood up from the train and proposed a strong attack.

"Okay, General Yang's courage is commendable, and he is not the vanguard of the army, Mr. Zhao, what do you think?" Huang Xu praised Yang Yiqing, and then asked Zhao Xiaofeng's opinion.

"Marshal, our army is new and vigorous, and it is indeed feasible to take advantage of the situation to attack the city." When Zhao Xiaofeng said this, he paused, looked at Huang Xu, and then continued: "Of course, the attack is not a desperate attack, but a tentative attack on Xuzhou City."

"What do you mean to attack tentatively?" Huang Xu's face was as usual, and he asked with interest.

"Marshal, before his subordinates came down, he had carefully analyzed the situation of Xuzhou City collected by the Intelligence Department, although it was located in a four-stoppled place, easy to attack and difficult to defend, but the Qing army also had an advantage, they were well prepared, abundant food and grass, well defended, and the number of people was not less than ours. With its strong combat effectiveness, our army can certainly break through Xuzhou City, but a large number of casualties will be inevitable, which is an unbearable burden for us, so a strong attack is not the best policy." Zhao Xiaofeng said his thoughts slowly.

"What's the best policy?" Huang Xu asked.

"Outwit!" Zhao Xiaofeng stretched out his right index finger and nodded his head.

"Mr. Zhao has a good plan?" Huang Xuxi said.

"There is a plan, but it will be necessary to see if it is feasible as a result of the tentative attack." Zhao Xiaofeng nodded and said euphemistically.

"Okay, listen to Mr. Zhao, just do it." Huang Xu slapped his palm, his face was extremely excited, and he immediately said: "Chuan Benshuai ordered, the army has worked hard from afar, have a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, after breakfast, the army will attack Xuzhou City."

It was night, the moon and stars were scarce, the cool breeze was blowing, the Taiping army was marching for a long time, it was really very hard, no, it was not long after the sky was dark, and the Taiping army entered the dream early.

Quietly in the Taiping camp, a group of soldiers with torches, knives and guns patrolling around, closed at the camp gate, several soldiers responsible for guarding the gate are yawning, looking sleepy, on the arrow tower at the gate, the tired archers also secretly dozed off.

What a peaceful sight!

Huang Xu was not sleepy at all, he didn't know what was wrong today, he wanted to sleep very much, but he couldn't sleep, he lay in the marching bed and tossed and turned for a long time, and he didn't fall asleep.

He thought of the two sisters Hong Zhengyan who were far away in the capital, since the last time Anqing said goodbye, so much time has passed, although the two daughters have been exchanged letters with Huang Xu for a long time, but Huang Xu always feels that it is like an itch in the boots, and it cannot completely solve the emotional hunger of both parties.

Frankly speaking, since he met the two girls, Huang Xu has been getting together less and leaving more with them, which can be said to be suffering from lovesickness, and he always feels that he owes these two sisters too much.

In order to alleviate this inner torment, the two sisters said many times that they wanted to come to the front line to visit Huang Xu, but Huang Xu refused, firstly, because of safety considerations, he did not want the second daughter to put himself in danger, and secondly, because he was afraid that after seeing the second daughter, he was reluctant to let them leave, so he could only endure the pain and refuse love.

After thinking about the second daughter, Huang Xu thought of his parents again, the parents in Huangcun Village, the distant Republic of China, their parents raised themselves as adults, and before they had time to fulfill their filial piety, they were already separated from their parents, and I am afraid that there is no chance to see each other again in this life.

Huang Xu's mind was very messy, so he simply got up, lit the oil lamp, took out a copy, and turned to the chapter of Xiang Yu's book to read it.

Thinking about the overlord of Western Chu, what a heroic and powerful man, swept through Daqin with 8,000 soldiers, and became an immortal cause, if it were not for his own iniquity, how could this world fall into the hands of Liu Bang.

Yes, character determines fate, and no one can change it.

Huang Xu was thinking deeply, and suddenly heard the noise outside, and there seemed to be a fire, Huang Xu was startled, and was about to go out to ask what was going on, but there were soldiers who came to report in advance, it turned out that the Qing army robbed the camp.

Huang Xu got the report, was surprised, threw down the historical records in his hand, got up, rushed out of the tent, he stood at the door of the big tent and looked into the distance, only to see that the camp gate had been lit up a raging fire, some nearby camp tents have also been ignited, the Qing army who came to rob the camp and the Taiping army who came to follow have been mixed together.

The earth-shattering shouts resounded throughout the sky, the Qing army was taken by surprise, but the Taiping army was in a panic, the two forces collided, and the Taiping army suddenly fell into the downwind.

The Qing army robbed the camp this time, and there were not many troops dispatched, and they just wanted to hit the Taiping army by surprise, set a few fires, kill a few people, kill chickens, and horror monkeys are the main purpose of Tala, if they can cause psychological panic in the Taiping army, then their goal will be achieved. Therefore, when the brigade of the Taiping army was constantly wrapped up, the Qing army retreated decisively.

After the Qing army retreated, under Huang Xu's strict orders, the Taiping army did not pursue.

After the Qing army retreated, the generals gathered in Huang Xu's Chinese army tent.

Huang Xu had a dark face and didn't speak, just looked coldly at the generals under the tent, and the generals lowered their heads in shame and didn't dare to speak casually.

"Who's on duty tonight?" Huang Xu asked.

"Marshal, it's the last general." Duan Yihu grimaced, took a few steps forward, and replied cautiously.

"General Duan, you are also a person who has been in battle for a long time, don't you know that the army of Lu Dao has just arrived, and you want to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp?" Huang Xu asked.

"Marshal, the soldiers are too tired, and the weather is good today, so....so, I relaxed my vigilance for a while, and asked the marshal to punish me." Duan Yihu clenched his fists and pleaded guilty.

"Punishment is necessary, come on, drag Duan Yihu out of the city and behead him." Huang Xu shouted.

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, everyone originally thought that Huang Xu would only admonish Duan Yihu for something, and the big deal was to blame him, but he didn't think about it, but Huang Xu dragged out of the mouth to cut it, which was too unexpected for everyone.

It wasn't until the warriors outside the tent listened to the call, walked in and grabbed Duan Yihu's shoulders, that everyone woke up, except for Zhao Xiaofeng, everyone else hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Duan Yihu, and asked Huang Xu to temporarily exempt Duan Yihu from the death penalty and let him make meritorious contributions.

"Please be gracious, and spare General Duan this time, and his subordinates think that this fault is not on him." Zhao Xiaofeng also interceded for Duan Yihu.

"Hmph, if we let him go so easily, how can Ben Shuai be worthy of the thousands of brothers who died, and besides, what use do we want in this military law, this person must be killed." Huang Xu said sharply.

"Marshal, having said that, military law is nothing more than human affection, and this is the time to employ people, if you kill the generals in battle, I am afraid that the army will be disadvantaged, and I will forget the marshal to think twice." Zhao Xiaofeng was willing to ask.

"Marshal Kaig!" The generals cried out in unison.

Huang Xu looked at Zhao Xiaofeng, and then at the generals kneeling on the ground, but did not make a sound.

"Marshal, please be gracious." Zhao Xiaofeng also knelt down.

"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing, what are you doing, get up, get up." Huang Xu saw that Zhao Xiaofeng also knelt down, and couldn't help but panic a little.

He shouted to the people to get up, but they did not answer.

"Are you threatening Ben Shuai?" Huang Xu's tone was stern and authentic.

"Don't dare, I just want to ask the marshal for mercy." Zhao Xiaofeng is neither humble nor arrogant.

"You....hum...."Huang Xu pointed at everyone and snorted coldly.

Everyone could feel the anger in Huang Xu's heart, but everyone didn't intend to back down.

"Alas, forget it, I'll listen to you this time, spare Duan Yihu for the time being, if there is a next time, I will never spare it." Huang Xu didn't want to do things too much. It is indeed not an auspicious thing to be killed.

When everyone heard that Huang Xu decided to spare Duan Yihu, they were all overjoyed, and they couldn't stop praising Huang Xu for his generosity and tolerance.

Huang Xu was also happy to push the boat along the water, he called Duan Yihu again, admonished a few words, and the matter came to an end. (To be continued.)
