Shi Dakai did not return to Wuchang before, but after arriving in Anqing, he gathered soldiers and horses nearby, and together with the east hall and part of the north hall soldiers and horses collected along the way, he gathered the army of 50,000 Qinwang in the wing hall. Shi Dakai did not dare to mobilize too many Hunan and Hubei soldiers and horses because he was worried that the Hunan army would take advantage of the situation to raid the Taiping army, after the loss of Changsha, the Hunan army became even more crazy, if it were not for the civil strife in heaven, Shi Dakai personally sat in Wuchang, and he was still confident that he would deal with Zeng Guofan, but Tianjing needed him to come back.

It was Shi Dakai who only gave the generals Shi Xiangzhen, Shi Zhenlun, Guozhang Huang Yukun and others who stayed in Wuchang and other places in Anqing, and asked them to strictly guard the line of Yueyang and Xiangyin, and choke the throat of the Xiangjiang River leading to the Yangtze River.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that the East Hall Navy had taken refuge in the West Palace, there was news that Yueyang and Xiangyin had been lost, and the opening of the Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake water system to the Yangtze River was opened, and the Hunan Army, together with Zhang Liangji, the governor of Hunan in Changde and other places, and other Qing troops began to launch an offensive in Wuchang and other places.

Although the winged hall soldiers and horses are elite and brave, but Shi Dakai is not there, the wing hall is like a toothless tiger, although the wing hall is still not afraid of the Hunan army in the field, but the Hunan army Zeng Guo clan has sacrificed their perverted hard village, dumb battle tactics, the naval army to ensure the supply line, the camp is lined up against the water, and gradually encircled Wuchang City.

Huang Yukun, Shi Xiangzhen, Shi Zhenlun and others who stayed in Wuchang had no better way, and they could not break through the Hunan army camp several times, and the naval army was not the opponent of the Hunan army at all, so they had to watch the Hunan army show off their might under the city of Wuchang, and they had the posture of besieging Wuchang. Under the pressure of the Hunan army and other Qing troops, Huang Yukun had to ask for help from Shi Dakai.

After Shi Dakai heard the news that Wuchang was tight, he couldn't hold it in his heart, and thought that his wife and children died at the hands of Wei Changhui. And he couldn't take revenge for a long time, so he vomited blood and fainted in a hurry.

The generals in the tent were shocked, Han Baoying was the first to rush over to support the king of the west, and with the help of the left and right, he called the rescue officer, and after a moment of first aid, Shi Dakai woke up and turned around.

After Shi Dakai woke up, the first thing he said was to ask: "How did Yueyang and Xiangyin lose it?" ”

Zhang Suimou had already read the battle report, and stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The Qing Demon Zeng State Domain relies on the help of the water master. In Yueyang, Xiangyin and other places to build a hard village, cut off Yueyang, Xiangyin internal and external contact, stormed more than ten days after breaking the city, the defenders Kong Zhizhao, Li Langu and Yueyang, Xiangyin defenders more than 15,000 people all died. ”

The generals and staff of the Wing Hall present all had desolate faces, although Han Baoying was heroic. But after all, it was a woman, and tears quietly fell.

"Your Highness. What do we do now? "What to do, the four words seem to be as heavy as Mount Tai. Pressed down heavily, Shi Dakai has always been the backbone of the Wing Palace, at this time everyone looked at him, the Wing King would definitely have a way, because he was the Wing King.

Shi Dakai smiled bitterly and looked at Han Baoying and Zhang Suimou. Zhang Suimou only said: "The Wing King should go and see the King of the West again." ”

Han Baoying's intelligence is not weak, and when he thought about it, he only said what he wanted, and at the moment he raised his eyebrows, and his eyes burst with tears of perseverance. Resolutely said: "Prime Minister Zhang, do you want your father-in-law to beg the thief?" Han Baoying has a strong temperament, and the king of the west has become a thief in her mouth, almost on a par with the northern traitor.

Zhang Suimou said helplessly: "The king of the West has no last resort, now we are already embattled, there is a shortage of food and grass, coupled with the defection of the navy, Wuchang is tight, and we can't enter Tianjing, what else can we do?" ”

Han Baoying was silent for a moment and asked, "What if you go to see the Western Thief?" ”

Zhang Suimou did not hesitate: "If the King of the West still wants to keep the Kingdom of Heaven, he will send the sailors west to rescue Wuchang, at least Wuchang can break the siege!" Tens of thousands of soldiers in Wuchang can be saved! ”

Zhang Suimou is telling the truth, at present, the king of the west will not be the wing hall for the time being, and the king of the wing needs to go to the king of the west to persuade him to send reinforcements to the west to rescue Wuchang first, if the king of the west really regards the kingdom of heaven as a thing in his pocket, he will not sit back and watch Wuchang be captured by the Qing army again.

After listening to Zhang Suimou's words, all the generals nodded thoughtfully, the strange thing is that no one asked the king of the west if he had the courage and mind to agree to rescue Wuchang, since Shi Dakai and all the people below have not considered this problem, the king of the west no matter how to plan for the wing hall, but his determination to support the kingdom of heaven and expel the demons seems to be unquestionable, just like when he sent a huge fleet south to pick up the small knife society rebels of the Xiamen uprising at a huge cost, all the generals of the wing hall thought that the king of the west would definitely send troops to aid Wuchang.

Shi Dakai got up suddenly, the corners of his mouth were still bloodshot, but his slightly tired thin face was still resolute and firm, he nodded heavily and said: "The King of the West will definitely agree to rescue Wuchang, if Wuchang is lost, the Yangtze River will no longer exist, and the southeastern provinces of the Kingdom of Heaven are in danger, and the King of the West will definitely save him, otherwise he will not be the King of the West!" ”

……

A few hours later, Shi Dakai, Zhang Suimou, and Han Baoying brought dozens of people to Chunhua Town, and finally met the West King and the West Queen Niang in Chen Yucheng's camp. Han Baoying came with Shi Dakai at the behest of her, Han Baoying had never seen the western thief in her mouth, so she begged Shi Dakai to bring her with her out of curiosity. Zhang Sui was afraid that Han Baoying would offend the king of the West by his outspokenness, so he kept telling Han Baoying to be cautious in his words and deeds along the way. Han Baoying agreed, but secretly thought in her heart, if the thief agreed to rescue Wuchang taking into account the overall situation, if she didn't agree, she Han Baoying would scold the thief happily even if she fought to light the sky lantern.

Entering the camp tent, there was a tall and mighty man with a rough face sitting on the handsome seat, he was dressed in a yellow robe and hood, and the word "King of the West" was embroidered on the hood. Han Baoying was slightly disappointed, this King of the West looked like a big man selling coolies in the market, and he didn't see any amazing appearance, but there was a beautiful woman sitting next to him, with a heroic aura in her beauty, which made Han Baoying look sideways.

Shi Dakai stepped forward and saluted, Han Baoying had to follow Zhang Suimou to make a big salute, the king of the West laughed and walked down from the handsome position, helped Shi Dakai and said loudly: "Da brother actually came here to find this king, it is really unexpected, come and come, my brother does not need the false courtesy on the official face, sit down and talk." ”

Han Baoying's mouth was deflated. Secretly scolding this thief is really shameless, the father-in-law's great gift has already been done, so he came up to help him up hypocritically, and said that he didn't need that false courtesy, didn't he want to put on the 8,000-year-old stand of the king of the west and stabilize his father-in-law in front of everyone?

The beautiful woman also got up and stood beside the King of the West and said with a smile: "The Winged King must have something important to say when he comes, Your Highness should arrange the military affairs properly as soon as possible and concentrate on the affairs of the Winged King." ”

Shi Dakai also saw that all the generals of Chen Yucheng's department in the west hall of the big tent were there, and it seemed that the king of the west was planning how to force Yang Fuqing to submit, and immediately said: "Since my brother is arranging military affairs. The little brother waited outside the tent for a while. ”

But the king of the west glared at the beautiful woman and said, "What do you mean by this? Da is his own brother, and some military affairs can be more important than brotherly affairs, right? At that moment, he looked back at Chen Yucheng and other generals and said: "This little thing doesn't need to be discussed, just use grace and power, if Yang Fuqing insists on going his own way, he will use a knife against his own people." Then we will exterminate him mercilessly! But remember, he is stubborn alone. But there is nothing wrong with the soldiers. Anyone who lays down his arms and accepts reorganization will be treated as his own soldiers, and he must not be beaten or scolded, let alone killed. ”

King Xi sent Chen Yucheng and other generals with a few words. Han Baoying was very surprised, Chen Yucheng, a young general of the Heavenly Kingdom, was famous, and even the Qing Demon Jiang Zhongyuan, Zeng Guofan and others felt extremely awe-struck when they mentioned him. And in the end, he also relieved the siege of the East Palace, and the statement had already been raised, but now in front of the King of the West, he was submissive and obedient to orders, it seems that this West thief still has some means.

Looking at the beautiful woman who was taught a lesson by the King of the West, but still had a smile on her face, Han Baoying secretly thought that this woman must be Hong Xuanjiao, the flower of peace, and among the women of the heavenly kingdom, Hong Xuanjiao was the most famous, but Han Baoying seemed that she stood with the vulgar and did not know how to respect her Xiwang, it was a flower inserted in cow dung, and when she looked at her father-in-law, it was a beautiful and radiant spirit, although she was in adversity, she did not see any decline, and she only felt that if this Hong Xuanjiao was worthy of her father-in-law, it would be a pair made in heaven. God is really blind.

After the generals left, only Shi Dakai and the Xiwang couple were left in the tent, Shi Dakai didn't talk nonsense, so he said that Wuchang was in a hurry, and finally said: "Brother, Wuchang is in an emergency, and I also ask my brother to send a navy to rescue." ”

Although Zhang Suimou repeatedly warned Han Baoying to endure this breath, he couldn't help but say in front of him: "The king of the west has good means, and he has collected all the water troops in the east hall overnight, and now that Wuchang is in an emergency, only the king of the west can save the 50,000 soldiers in Wuchang." ”

Xiao Yungui didn't feel ashamed at all, but said with a smug face: "The training of the East Hall Navy is deserted, and the ships of the Navy are dilapidated. ”

Han Baoying couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, he had never seen such a shameless person who got cheap and sold well, so he couldn't help but sneer at the moment: "His Royal Highness the King of the West means that the East Palace Navy will be reorganized in the near future, so it will not be able to come to the rescue of Wuchang?" ”

Xiao Yungui sighed, and said with a smile: "This little girl is Baoying, I heard that you have adopted a wonderful righteous daughter, it turns out that it is her, she is really heroic, and her spirit is not inferior to that of a man." Then he looked sideways at Hong Yun'er beside him and said with a smile: "Missionary, humanitarian, you are the flower of peace, but this Baoying is known as the flower of peace, it looks like when you were young." ”

Han Baoying was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "I'm not a little girl!" ”

Hong Yun'er smiled slightly and said: "Miss Baoying is already the leader of a women's battalion, naturally she is not a little girl, the Kingdom of Heaven will still be the world of these young people in the future, and the Kingdom of Heaven has to count on them." ”

Xiao Yungui saw that Shi Dakai was also strong and forbearing, knowing that he was, and the Wing King might be angry, so he smiled at the moment: "Da Hu doesn't have to be anxious, Luo Outline has already gone to Wuchang on the road, this rescue of Wuchang has the West Hall Navy to complete, the East Hall Navy has just experienced the Tianjing Rebellion, the army is unstable, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they really can't force themselves to fight, the West Hall Navy has been training in Shanghai for a long time, and there are two new Western sail warships in charge, and the sailors who discipline Zeng Guofan have all gone to feed the fish, shrimp and crabs of the Yangtze River!"
