Because the navy wanted to remobilize the ships of the East Hall Naval Division to transport the soldiers and horses of the Wing Palace, it was delayed for a day, and it was not until the afternoon of the second day that the navy of the Luo Outline Department began to pull out, and more than 800 large and small warships went to Wuchang in a mighty way.

Although Xiao Yungui remembered that in later generations, the waterway from Wuchang to Nanjing on the Yangtze River could be navigated by thousands of tons, but he was not sure whether there would be particularly narrow bends or shoal sections, so the front part of the sailor division was composed of more than ten flat-bottomed sand boats, all of which were equipped with a channel depth ruler, and the ruler made of long bamboo poles tied to the bow and stern of the ship was put into the water to sail to determine the depth of the waterway and open the way for the Blue Water and Zihuo.

The sorrow of humanity lies here, and almost every great technological advance and scientific innovation is in the service of war. The West Hall was no exception, and after the navy and navy, some corresponding oceanography and water pattern began to appear in Sufu Province, just to meet the needs of the war. In this way, for the first time in the history of the Yangtze River, a scientific water ripple measurement was carried out systematically.

After sending off the navy, Xiao Yungui was not worried about the war in Wuchang at all, with the Blue Water and the Purple Fire in charge, there were twelve red single ships in the lineup, and the escort team composed of the rest of the merchant ships, sand ships, and Fu ships could completely defeat the Hunan army sailors at three distances, whether it was medium, far or near. Once the Hunan Army's naval division is defeated and there is no supply from the waterway, I believe that no matter how hard the turtle shell of the Hunan army's hard village on land is, it will be surrounded to death, so once the Hunan army's naval division is defeated, Zeng Guofan, the old fox, will definitely choose to retreat.

After Shi Da drove away, Xiao Yungui's attention turned back to Yang Fuqing's side, after Chunhua Town was occupied by the West Palace, Yang Fuqing's troops were trapped within a radius of more than ten miles around Hushu Town, and more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from Chen Yucheng's department and Li Xiucheng's department in the West Hall choked Hushu Town and various key roads, making Yang Fuqing's troops unable to advance or retreat.

Yang Fuqing repeatedly sent people to ask to see the king of the west. The reply was that the soldiers and horses in the east hall were killing each other for no reason, and the soldiers and horses were in chaos, and they must lay down their arms and accept the reorganization of the west hall, otherwise they would be wiped out as rebels.

Outside Hushu Town, inside the ancestral hall of Lianhua Village, this has become Yang Fuqing's temporary residence at this moment, and the leaders and generals of the East Hall are gathered here. In the center of the ancestral hall, Yang Fuqing listened to the reply of the West Hall with a pale face, and kicked the flower pot on the side in anger, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Chaogui is too deceitful! What is he doing here? My east hall cleaned up a few rebellious troops who did not obey orders. Is this also cannibalism? He Xiao Chaogui said that we are rebels, we are rebels? How unreasonable! ”

The generals in the courtyard secretly slandered in their hearts, and the Citi Army was not a few people, but tens of thousands. The incident of the Citi Army this time is full of strangeness, they robbed the grain and grass in the wing hall, and dared to take the initiative to come to the camp of Chunhua Town to make trouble, which is not in line with common sense. In the chaos. Although it was the Citi Army who fired first and injured people, Yang Fuqing's subsequent handling was too hasty. He even launched a large army to exterminate the Citi Army. As a result, things got bigger and bigger, and they got to the point where they are now.

Although the excuse of the West Hall is a bit far-fetched, the King of the West is the leader of the Qinwang Army Alliance this time, and he is still the King of the West who has the possession of the Heavenly Brother. The king of the east is dead, and according to the rules of heaven, the words of the king of the west are indeed the greatest. At the beginning, the king of the west sent people to persuade him to stop fighting, but Yang Fuqing ignored it. If it's big, this is disobedience, and the disobedient army is, of course, the rebel army, what are people polite to you?

Chen Zhaoping, the third inspector on the left side of the east hall, said in a deep voice: "Guozong, now is not the time to be angry, the east hall is in danger, and the slightest carelessness will lead to destruction, so we should make careful plans." The king of the west has already left a glimmer of hope, if he suddenly has a heavenly brother to send a decree, saying that we have turned grass into demons, and ordered the heavenly kingdom to exterminate us, will we still have a way out? ”

Yang Fuqing shook his spirit, and came back to his senses a little, indeed as Chen Zhaoping said, now Xiao Chaogui still has some way to retreat, but with the order of the king of the west, he ordered the east hall to put down his arms and accept the reorganization.

Chen Zhaoping saw Yang Fuqing slowly sit back on the chair, and then said: "We came to suppress the Citi Army this time in a hurry, and the soldiers did not carry much dry food, and because the nearby villages were harassed by the Citi Army, most of the people fled to the West Hall to rule, and there was very little food that could be found in the villages. Although his subordinates have ordered people to collect all the grain and distribute it re-quota, it is still not enough, and it is estimated that the food will be out of supply tomorrow. Without food and without troops, we can't stay here for long. ”

Yang Fuqing said viciously: "Then we will break through and go back to Jiangxi, what kind of King Qin's hoe is the Hongmen banquet set up by Xiao Chaogui, he just wants to annex our East Palace!" Let's break through and go back to Jiangxi! I want to see if the soldiers of the West Temple dare to really fight a tough battle with us! "After Yang Fuqing's troops were surrounded, the West Temple Army just held the dangerous place and blocked the way, but it had not taken the initiative to attack, the East Temple soldiers approached, and the West Temple soldiers just fired guns and cannons from a distance to scare the East Temple Army back, and the two sides had not yet broken out into a more severe conflict, so Yang Fuqing still had the confidence to break through.

Chen Zhaoping sighed lightly, this Grandmaster of the Kingdom has been wrong again and again, the soldiers and horses in the East Hall were just trying to move forward before, and people just fired a few shots and released a few cannons to scare them, if it really started, the soldiers of the West Hall would not be polite. At that time, the East Hall and the West Hall had a very strict conflict in Guangde, when Hu Yihuang commanded the East Hall Army to raid the West Hall under Guangde, and the West Hall unceremoniously beat the East Hall Army. It was also after that battle that Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, saw the true strength of the west hall clearly, and Yang Xiuqing thought that he was afraid that he would not get any benefits from dealing with the king of the west with the strength of the east hall at that time, so he adjusted his strategy and subdued the two kings of the north wing first before making plans, but he did not expect to trigger the Tianjing Incident. The root cause of the Tianjing Incident was not that Yang Xiuqing forced Banzai, but that he planned to clean up the North Hall and the Wing Palace, which provoked the situation that the North King, the Wing King and the Heavenly King joined forces to launch the incident.

Although Yang Xiuqing was defeated in the Tianjing Incident, there was no problem with his general policy, first annexing the weaker opponent, and then finally dealing with the most powerful enemy, so that he had a chance of victory. Yang Xiuqing was able to judge the situation and quickly see the power of the West Hall and chose to temporarily retreat, which shows that Yang Xiuqing's intelligence and city government bearing are extremely high, but what about Yang Fuqing now? It's really hard to look at the back of the East King.

But Chen Zhaoping still endured this breath, and faithfully performed his duties as a strategist and persuaded: "Guozong, the West Hall can still refrain from surrendering now, we must not take the initiative to attack the West Palace, otherwise the mouth is solid, and there will be no room for turnaround. ”

Yang Fuqing stared at Chen Zhaoping coldly and said, "You have repeatedly persuaded me to join Xiao Chaogui, have you also been bought by Xiao Chaogui?!" Well?! ”

When Chen Zhaoping heard this, his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, he had always been planning for Yang Fuqing, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Yang Fuqing, this person's qi is narrow, and he is really not a supportable master. But Chen Zhaoping still hurriedly knelt down and said: "The subordinates are loyal to the Guozong and the East Temple, and they have no intention of betraying!" ”

Yang Fuqing snorted coldly and said, "Okay, tonight, the third watch breaks through, and you lead the front to break south to show your loyalty!" ”

Chen Zhao's face was very ugly, but seeing that Yang Fuqing's face had already appeared with murderous intent, he had to reluctantly accept the order.

Yang Fuqing shouted loudly: "Xiao Chaogui is unkind and unjust, intending to annex my East Palace, King Qin's hoeing and rape is just an excuse, I think he wants to take the position of the King of Heaven, such a rebellious person We swear to fight it to the end, tonight the second watch cooks, the third greater army breaks through in four ways, let's go back to Jiangxi first, and then the army comes to crusade!" ”

The generals looked at each other, but they still got up to receive the order, just listening to the voice, it was uneven, and there seemed to be no fighting spirit.

……

"What kind of bird battle is this, originally came to avenge the king of the east and fight the northern traitors, this is good, none of the northern traitors have been seen, but they have killed a lot of their own people, and now they are going to fight the king of the west, what is wrong with our kingdom of heaven?"

It was already the second watch of the sky, the moon and stars were scarce in the sky, and in the camp south of Yang Fuqing's department, several small soldiers sat on the ground with food, and a soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes said indignantly while eating: "Today I will beat you, tomorrow you will beat me, no matter how you fight back and forth, you will beat your own people." ”

A thin soldier sighed: "The dragons in the sky are fighting, and the fish and shrimp at the city gate are suffering." I heard that the soldiers of the West Temple are so powerful, even the old Maozi soldiers in the north were beaten by them, aren't we going to die when we fight with the West Temple? ”

The big-eyed soldier nodded and said, "Yes, I also heard that the soldiers of the West Temple have a musket and a lot of Western artillery, can we beat this shotgun artillery?" Then he asked hesitantly: "Third brother, you said that if we beat our own people like this and die, can we go to heaven after death?" ”

The thin soldier was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, I originally wanted to kill more demons, even if I die, I can go to heaven, but now I really don't know where to go after I kill my own people." ”

"What are you guys talking about?" The whip was pulled down without a head, and several small soldiers were immediately so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but it was the military judge of the patrol camp who heard these words that shook the hearts of the soldiers, and whipped them down.

"Stop!" When the warden of the military justice team was about to execute these little soldiers, he heard a person behind him stop him, and when he looked back, it was the inspector Chen Zhaoping who came over with a few brand swordsmen.

"Check Chen, these people are talking nonsense here, confusing the army's mind, and their subordinates are about to enforce military law!"

Chen Zhaoping glanced at a few soldiers who were trembling and kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to lift their heads, and sighed lightly: "There will be a moment before the team is leaving, one more person will have more strength, keep a few of them." ”

The warden was a little embarrassed, Chen Zhaoping waved his hand and said: "You guys go and prepare, if anyone retreats later, you can kill it!" That's what you have to do! When the warden heard this, he said no more, but bowed and withdrew.

Chen Zhaoping looked at a few small soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh to himself: "With such morale and military spirit, how can you fight?" Oh, it seems that the destruction of the East Temple will be tonight. (To be continued......)
