Sigh:

A sail far away from the sea is boundless, and there are only fairy mountains overseas.

There are dangers in the wind and waves, and there is no paradise in the world.

Looking back on the years, I think about life for decades.

There is a definite number of short growth numbers, and the cup is not drunk and then continued.

Here is a digression, when the dervishes remembered that the dervishes were going north across the sea to find a new way to cultivate immortals, the dervishes sighed to himself, and when he was born, he couldn't go with him to cultivate immortals.

Gossip aside, the book is back to business:

On the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month of the third year of the Taiping Khan Emperor's Kaiping, at noon, the Dadu Mountain in Beihai, the dervishes monk held a bowl in his hand, and Li Wenshan drove a boat into the sea to the north, and everyone in Dadu Mountain came to see him off.

Shi Qiangsheng hugged Lele, pulled Huanhuan, and the little scholars, and Wu's mother, who was in charge of everyone's diet, a total of 12 people, stood at the foot of the north of Dadu Mountain, watching the dervishes, the little stick and his wife, Li Wenshan, Cuigu and his apprentices and a group of five people stepped across the trestle bridge and got on the big boat.

Everyone "cherishes" each other, and then they part.

Li Wenshan read the second half of the "Fish Watching Sutra", and he was quite insightful, and went to the cabin to meditate and practice by himself. The little stick couple came to watch the sea view with great interest. Only Aunt Cui looked gloomy.

When Cuigu came to the deck, she saw that the dervishes were also there, and Cuigu said: "Senior brother, we don't know how far Beihai is when we go, and when will we reach the other side!"

The dervish smiled and said, "Senior sister, you don't have to be sad, when it's time to come, it will naturally arrive."

I have been feeling that my realm is difficult to suppress recently, if I break through, with my bowl, take you with me, it is estimated that it will only take three or two days to arrive.

It's just that I have to wait, after all, your realm cultivation has not yet been able to break through the acquired and enter the innate realm. Although Li Daoyou is already in the innate realm, it is not yet time to break through the innate realm.

I thought, with my bowl, to help you, everyone has broken through, we can cultivate immortals together, and we can take care of each other. ”

At this time, the sea breeze blows the huge sails, and the ship moves very fast. The broadside hits the waves, and it trembles all the time. Looking from afar, the sea and sky are on the line, and the near is the white gulls flying upward, and the blue waves are surging downward. From time to time, there are birds singing, and there are many wind and waves.

Cuigu looked at these, and suddenly a kind of resentment suddenly appeared in her heart, so she shook her head hard, shook off her sorrows, reluctantly smiled, and asked the dervishes: "Senior brother, what is a good way to help us break through together?"

The dervish monk smiled and said, "Senior sister, my bowl is quite unusual, I am also thinking, how can we make everyone progress at the same time and break through the realm?"

Cui Gu said: "Senior brother, then you have to come up with a good way quickly!"

- Not to mention this, the dervishes and the two masters and apprentices of the dervishes and the two masters and apprentices of Li Wenshan Cuigu sailed to the North Sea, sailed straight north, and turned around to talk about the Taiping Khanate.

On the eighth day of the first month of August, the wedding ceremony of the Khan Emperor, the marshal of the Left Army held a wedding on the same day.

The dervishes had never seen that lively scene, and Li Shijian had never told the dervishes about it later, so he naturally couldn't describe it with the insights of the dervishes, but everyone can imagine it, so I won't repeat it here.

Let's say that Li Shijun, the marshal of the left army of the Taiping Khanate, on the third day after his wedding, asked for war, and the Khan agreed, so Li Shijun said goodbye to his newlywed wife Murong Juan and came to the county seat of Pang County on the front line.

Why was Li Shijun so anxious to go to the front? It was only because of the Great Western Khanate that Tang Zirong had learned that Murong had surrendered the city gate, that his general Zhong Junli and his adviser Ha Junbao had been captured, and that the Taiping army had also secretly attacked and captured Pang County at the same time.

Li Shijun was in the capital, and after hearing the news, he naturally asked for battle.

When Li Shijun passed by the county, he asked Xu Xing to accompany him, and chose another one to replace Xu Xing.

This time, Li Shijun originally led 30,000 soldiers from Beijing, plus selected 20,000 from the captured soldiers in the county, so the actual strength of the left army reached 150,000.

On the same day, Li Shijun rushed to Pang County, Tian Mengchang naturally went out of the city to greet him, and after meeting, Tian Mengchang said: "Senior brother is overjoyed, the foolish brother is here, and he didn't have time to participate in the wedding celebration!"

Li Shijun said: "Senior brother guards this Pang County on my behalf, it's hard work! Senior brother doesn't have a doppelganger technique, how can I go to the capital?"

After that, Li Shijun laughed, and Tian Mengchang also laughed. The two entered the city in succession and came to the county office of Pang County, which is now where the marshal of the Left Army is located.

When Li Shijun came back, the first thing was to gather the generals to discuss matters. Tian Mengchang said: "Senior brother, when you went to the capital to get married, I had already sent Ma Rong to lead 3,000 troops to capture Jing County. ”

Li Shijun said: "Senior brother, I'm afraid that General Ma's 3,000 troops will seize Jing County, and he may not be able to succeed easily! General Ma is brave, but it is a pity that he is rough in his strategy. ”

Xu Xing said: "General Ma's 3,000 men and horses went to capture Jing County, but I am afraid that it will be inappropriate. ”

Tian Mengchang said with a smile: "Before General Ma left, I had already given him a secret plan, teaching him to lie in wait outside the city of Jing County, and only do sneak attacks. The unprepared defenders of the county should be able to succeed. ”

Li Shijun said: "How to sneak attack?"

Tian Mengchang smiled and said: "That Jingxian County, just on the bank of the Jinghe River, I have instructed General Ma Rong to block the upstream river first, then there will be a shortage of water in the downstream through the county." Ma Rong did not attack the city first, but only ambushed his army in search of water through the county to win. After defeating the army seeking water in Jingxian County, it is easy to sneak attack and seize the city!"

Li Shijun listened to it and said with a smile: "It turns out that Senior Brother has already done everything he could!"

Tian Mengchang said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Ma Rong will be inconvenient to the enemy alone, so I specially sent a general to assist him." ”

Xu Xing smiled and said, "Okay! Brother Tian is really thorough!"

Tian Mengchang said: "Senior brother, our army has conquered Pang County, and Tang Zirong is preparing for a large-scale counterattack!"

Li Shijun said: "I already know this news, but where did it come from?"

Tian Mengchang said: "Xu Wenhu and Xu's junior brother are pseudonyms Xu Hu, and he is currently active in Xining Prefecture, and the news he sent was a day earlier than the meteor scout. ”

When Li Shijun heard this, he said, "Senior brother, did Senior Brother Xu say when the soldiers of Daxi will be able to get here?"

Tian Mengchang said: "I said, it is estimated that it will take ten days." ”

Li Shijun said: "Okay! Senior Brother Tian, I will leave 50,000 horses, Chang Sheng, Xiang Tuo, Wu Jun, and Meng Ping will help you defend Pang County, and I will lead 100,000 horses and horses to Jingxian County, and attack Mumen Prefecture with Marshal Lin Heng of the Right Army, what do you think?"

Tian Mengchang smiled and said: "Okay, junior brother, I promise to defend the city for more than a month, and give you plenty of time, you can rest assured that you will go to Mumen Prefecture!"

Li Shijun said: "In this case, I should set off quickly and go to Jingxian!"

On the 14th day of August in the third year of Emperor Taiping Khan's Kaiping, when Shen arrived in the afternoon of Pang County, Li Shijun led 100,000 soldiers to Jing County.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Shijun ordered: "March overnight today, and rest after arriving at Jing County." ”

So the army did not stop, and finally arrived fifty miles north of Jingxian County after dawn the next day. Li Shijun ordered the three armies to camp and rest.

At noon, there was a report from the Malay Expedition that General Ma Rong and the deputy general had blocked the Jinghe River for a day or two, and the county had not yet sent out soldiers to search for water. When General Ma Rong heard that the marshal had arrived, he specially sent a small one to ask for an order, but the marshal's order was obeyed.

When Li Shijun heard this, he ordered the army to set up camp and advance to 20 miles away from Jing County, and then turned back to the horse and said: "You report back to General Ma and General Yu, let them rest assured, just wait for the ambush of the enemy." ”

Tanma said "Yes!" and turned back to report to Ma Rong.

However, he said that in the county seat, the guard general had the right to lead 40,000 troops, and was ordered by Xin Junji and Bu Junrui to defend the city, and he had already learned that there was a shortage of water in the city. This man has the right to do it, and he is also a cautious person, so he was selected by Xin Junji and Bu Junrui to guard this Jing County.

Tong Quan sent someone to report to Xin Junji and Bu Junrui urgently, saying that it was in the county seat, and there was a sudden shortage of water in the county, and the river was cut off!

Bu Junrui immediately ordered someone to report urgently, and he had the right to:

——The Taiping army has captured Pang County, this must be the enemy soldiers of Pang County, send people to capture Jing County, at present, our army cannot draw troops on the front line, you have to guard Jing County well.

It is impossible to artificially block the river for a long time, but there will be a time when the enemy army will not be able to stop it and will break the mouth, and then there will be no more shortage of water. It is estimated that it will take three or two days, and General Wangtong must be careful not to easily send troops out of the city to find water. I'm trying to send 5,000 men to your aid!

At the same time, he was extremely glad in his heart: In the end, he was a military advisor, and a discerning person could see the root of the problem at a glance!

However, the lack of water is more difficult than starvation! Tong Quan himself feels that it is difficult, but when there is an order from above, who dares to disobey it?

The defenders of the city are all over the city looking for water, but there are wells, they are all crowded with people, and the army and civilians are mixed, crowded and chaotic.

However, the wells are limited, and after two days, the well water is not available!

Li Shijun had already made people find out about the situation in the city, and at that time he had another plan in his heart: Okay! Won't you send people out of the city to find water? Then I will trap you in the city and fight for your reinforcements!

So Li Shijun sent a report to Ma Rong: - The water of the river should be released once every three days, and then blocked after reducing the water potential, so that the city of Jingxian will always be in a state of water shortage, and our army will besiege the city and send reinforcements.

So Li Shijun gave an order and led an army of 100,000 to surround Jingxian. Then, Li Shijun personally challenged.

In the county, there is a general, whose real name is Hu Dali, who has some courage and makes a long-handled machete, so people give it the nickname "Hu Dadao". On the same day, Hu Dadao saw that Li Shijun's army was besieging the city, so he asked Tong Quanquan to fight, and wanted to go down to challenge Li Shijun.

Tong had the right to say: "General Hu, that Li Shijun is said to be brave and strategic, and quite powerful, so don't challenge him." ”

I don't want Hu Dali to have a good friend, and he is also guarding the city in this county, and he also has the strength to make a pair of big axes invincible. Therefore, people give the nickname "Man Modi", in fact, his real surname is Bai, and his name is Bai Renying.

This white man was even more anxious to die than Hu Dali, and he jumped violently at that time, as long as he went down to the city to face the battle.

Tong had the right to say: "The right military governor and the right minister authorized me to guard this Jing county, but I see that I am doing things steadily and cautiously! Don't I want to go down to the city to meet the enemy? It's just that Li Shijun is not an opponent in general, so we take it as the top priority to guard the city carefully. If anyone dares to speak out to fight the capital, I will kill them!"

Under the order of Tong Quan, Hu Dali and Bai Ziying had no choice but to retreat angrily.

Tong Quan had just come to the city gate to watch the enemy, and suddenly, he saw the city gate open downstairs, and two generals rushed out with 200 people!

Tong Quan was taken aback, and hurriedly went down to the city gate in person and led his men to close the city gate. Only then did he climb the watchtower again and watch the second general of the city fighting with Li Shijun.

These two generals are Hu Dali Bai Ziying - the two generals each brought their own 100 pro-troops out of the city to fight!

At that time, Bai Ziying went out first and shouted to Li Shijun: "Li Shijun!

When Li Shijun saw it, this guy, with a black face and a body like a small iron tower, was riding on a silver horned horse, and Zari was dancing with two big axes, which looked really a little imposing!

Li Shijun looked at the general on the other side and shouted: ", from which state did you come to the front line of Mumen Prefecture to sell samples?

At this time, when Hu Dali saw Li Shijun fighting, he ordered his subordinates to beat the drums!

At that time, the drums shook the sky, and the armies on both sides shouted.

Bai Renying hates people the most about being black, and in his opinion, black is synonymous with ugliness. At that time, Bai Ziying was furious and scolded: "You sharp-faced little thief!

Bai Ying scolded angrily while rushing forward!

When Li Shijun saw it, his two eyes were focused, narrowed into a slit, stared at the opponent's pair of mountain-opening axes, and knocked the silver wildebeest under his crotch, which was also a horse rushing forward, but the hinch coil dragon spear in his hand was shrinking back, wanting to strike a thunderous blow.

When the two horses approached, Bai Renying's big axe swung twice, one left and one right, staggered out. Li Shijun's skein dragon spear only had a little thorn, fell on the opponent's axe blade, and used a word breaking trick, at that time, swinging away the opponent's first hand with an axe, and then stirring, bounced off his back hand axe, and at the same time, with such a back hand, the tip of the gun went straight to the middle palace and pierced Bai Ying's chest!

When Bai Ying saw this, he was taken aback, and when he fell back, he saw a red tassel in front of him, piercing the tip of his nose, and the strong wind blew his face coldly.

At this time, the two horses staggered, and Bai Yingying wanted to get up, and at the same time, the big axe in his left hand slashed horizontally, wanting to cut Li Shijun who was passing by his side.

I don't want Li Shijun to take his left hand down at this time, and his right hand is raised, and the twisted coil dragon gun was like a big stick at that time, swept over, only to hear the sound of "dang chang", the big gun swept on the opponent's left hand axe, and the two generals crossed the wrong horse, each turned the horse's head, and hit each other again.

This time, Li Shijun figured out the opponent's catties, and he was even more ruthless, and as soon as he looked at him, Li Shijun stabbed out the dragon spear first.

Bai Ying's hands and big axes are crossed into crosses, and he often wants to put a big gun on the shelf, but he doesn't want Li Shijun to be a long and the tip of the gun is closed, sunk and long, and he only hears a "plop" sound, this big gun pierced into Bai Ying's lower abdomen!

The white man's eyes widened, his face was surprised, he threw a double axe, and held Li Shijun's big gun, however, Li Shijun's horse rushed forward, and when he took advantage of the situation, he heard Bai Ying's "ah" and shouted, and he fell off the horse!

When Hu Dali saw this, he didn't want to think about whether Bai Ziying could be an opponent if he was not an opponent? He rushed forward with a wild scream, shouting as he rushed: "Dare to kill my friend! I will kill you and avenge him!"

As soon as Li Shijun saw the opponent's style, he knew that he was on par with the general just now, so he didn't answer, rushed forward, and the hinch coil dragon gun in his hand came out, Huo Ran is move and nodded!

Hu Dali relied on his strength, raised the machete at that time, twisted and obliquely blocked, only said that he had blocked the spear, and he could kill the enemy!

Li Shijun saw that the other party's style was extremely vicious, the big gun shook, and the machete was flicked away, at this time, the two horses were staggered, Li Shijun grabbed the straps around the opponent's waist with his hand, and shouted: "Come over to me!"

When Hu Dali was caught, he threw away a machete, bent down, and struck with both fists, making a move and two winds to hit Li Shijun.

When Li Shijun saw it, he was angry in his heart, and with a flick of his hand, he threw Hu Dali on the ground, took the horse at that time, and the big gun "smack" a little, straight on Hu Dali's throat, and shouted: "If you dare to move again, I will stab you to death!"
