With the fierce horseshoes, the elongated smoke and dust billowed, Zhao Yingong, who was already the captain of the Majun of the Taiping Second Army, rode his horse across the wilderness by the Cao River, letting the hot wind envelop the sand. The dust fluttered on the face and was not moved.
I saw that they were walking northward along the Caohe River, and the sails on the near and far rivers were endlessly surpassed by them, and they were left far behind.
In fact, before the convening of the military meeting, as the reserve and mobile force of the Chinese army, half a fat cavalry camp and a cavalry camp, which were always ready to be put into battle, had already been ordered to set off ahead of schedule under the leadership of Zhao Yingong.
To this end, they also adopted a rotation configuration of one person and two horses for the first time; one was used to provide riding and transportation, and the other was used to carry personal rations and armor, so as to save time in the rapid march, and even self-sustaining and maneuvering. Longer.
In addition, there are more than one hundred horses that are specially used to tow carts to accompany them to load and transport corresponding equipment and equipment. In this way, if you encounter an enemy or encounter other accidents, you can also have spare capacity to quickly enter the battle.
"Everything is contingent, just let it go. Other things don't matter, as long as people can come one will be regarded as one;"
And the explanations of the previous leader are still vivid in my ears.
"All the people who are mobilized afterwards will be your best cover and backing. Even if things are really irreversible, try to give me a result and answer."
This made him both moved and responsible. Not to mention that now they have removed the distinctive features of the Taiping Army, and dressed up as the costumes of the rebels directly under the military government; yes, the source of their outfits and flag battles is the name of the Huang King’s daughter Cao Xiao Next, the six hundred guards who served as the front guards of the army.
Therefore, they rushed along this way, and they hardly encountered anyone who dared to stop and question them; but as he approached Xuyi City, he waved his hand and waved the flag to make people slow down.
"Feeding..."
Then following his order, the dusty pawns began to take out the dry food in the sacks on the backs of the slowly walking horses; they started to eat in steps from the inside out and back to the front.
Of course, compared to the fourth generation of the pawns, the compressed biscuits and canned meat substitutes that have been added with minced meat, fish floss, and dried vegetables are still dry and firm; the rationing treatment for the pawns is much better. They have more choices of salty fried noodles made of wheat flour, soybean juice and fat, and granular sugar fried rice crisps.
Therefore, you don’t have to bite and chew so much, you can swallow it with water; even in the bumpy horseback riding, you can quickly and easily eat and replenish your energy; and the two large bags of water they carry , Is also a bag filled with refreshing and thirst-quenching simmering pot wine, and a bag filled with rich salt and sugar water.
On the other horse-drawn cart, the compressed soybean meal cake and green fermented forage block were dragged; in order to replenish the fat and maintain the strength of the horse that has been driving for a long time. Therefore, once the marching team pauses, someone will feed the mount.
Relying on this eager and methodical rhythm, they were approaching the location of Xuyi City in less than a day under the rush of day and night after getting the order.
The only thing that can cause obstacles to them is the water network, canals, and sometimes bad road conditions that are frequently encountered on the road; the other is the interval where the mount needs to stop and recover.
Just between the silent interval where only horseshoes are running and not being eaten; the rangers who first went to investigate under the city of Xuyi also returned one after another. This brought all kinds of news near Xuyi City; however, what was surprising was that the news was calm.
Even the city of Xuyi just after the change of hands was fully gated, and allowing the people to come and go, even if they saw the prying riders, they would ignore it, as if nothing had happened, there was nothing at all. Subject to any influence in general.
"Continue to send people to investigate, respectively along the banks of the river and the banks of the Caohe, and move closer to the place where the last news came out..."
Zhao Yingong said flatly.
"I don't believe it anymore. There are nearly two thousand heads, so there is no trace or news left..."
After half a day, it seemed to confirm his determination and conviction; the farthest way to investigate the wandering ride, more than 20 miles northwest of Xuyi City, a place named Jingdi Ze has a preliminary view. Found, the remains of the equipment that was suspected to have been abandoned and burned.
. . . . . . .
And in the temporary military tent under Shanyang City, the messenger from Huang Chaoxu had just bid farewell and left.
"It is said that the mad monk has already led troops to kill Gaoyou. Everyone has said that whoever dares to stand in the way will do it..."
"So, Pang Shigu, Fei Chuangu, and Gaihong are not willing to go to dissuade and intercept..."
"The king has sent military treasury envoy Liu Tang and Youzhi envoy Zhao Zhang to inquire about the situation, let's hold on to this matter for now..."
"In addition, King Huang has already said that if this matter is taken seriously, it is the fault of Lao Shang. If you leave it alone, I am afraid that in the future, who will dare to respond to and follow the orders of the military government. So please ask the general manager. It must be expressed..."
Then in the strange eyes and expressions that he wanted to talk and stopped, or were inexplicable.
"This is definitely not my instruction and support... Why don't you believe it... If I really did it, I did it. There is no reason to deny it..."
The deputy chief, Shang Rang, who described as thin and handsome, was also walking around with great annoyance, like a sleepy beast falling into a trap.
"Who is taking the opportunity to entrap and frame me; or the dog who did it on his own.. Sending people to ask about the results of the army under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou, hasn't it responded yet..."
"Damn it, damn it, it's all a bunch of useless things; usually you want money and food and you need armored ladies, and they are like a happy match. Why at this juncture, no one can come in handy..."
"I really want to go all out to fight the monk Xu, no matter whether I win or lose, I have become a joke in the army. Even if the King Huang is there, it won't make me easy..."
"If I'm having trouble this time, do you still want to go well. Do you really want to be dismantled to other departments to listen to the effect, do the deeds under the fence..."
As the second-ranked figure of the rebel army below the Yellow King, he is certainly proud and self-confident, but he also has the corresponding decisiveness and tactics to face reality.
Therefore, when Wang Xianzhi was defeated and died, and his elder brother Shang Jun was intercepted by Song Wei by Pinglu Jiedu; in the future, as a battalion guard, he resolutely led the old brothers on Mount Yaxuan to break through the encirclement of the official army. In this way, he voted for Huangchao, another big mountain of the rebels, and gained the qualifications and status of the second man of the rebels.
Although he was somewhat unhappy and indignant at being threatened and persecuted by opponents who could only seek a future under his own hands, he was still a little bit upset and indignant; but in the face of the imminent fire and the heavy price that might hurt him fundamentally, he did not hesitate. Show your attitude and position to avoid risks.
Then he screamed and vented, and drove these generals away to work, or after pretending to be busy; Shang Rang confronted Tian Chengrong, the envoy of the general's mansion who had gone back and returned, with a cold voice. Tao.
"What's the situation in the General's Mansion? How could you be sent here... No news from Kong Bugeng, Chen Ju and others..."
"General Manager Shang doesn't know something...something big happened in the military mansion this time..."
Tian Chengrong, who had already changed a respectful expression, continued to say.
"Kong Panji, Chen Kongmu, and Wei Zhubo, who have been with you all the time, have been taken to prison one after another; Li Canjun even drank the medicine when he was arrested. In the end, even Huang (E) patrolled. The (Liang) courtyard was also taken from the public for errands, and since then he never showed up again."
". This time, I took the initiative to ask for my order to get the errand of coming to spread the word and presenting love in person..."
"What's the situation... But is it against me..."
Shang Rang's narrow and sharp eyebrows couldn't help but raised.
"It is said that some are suspected of leaking the inside information of the Fuzhong, some are delaying the military aircraft, some are missing the case, and some are trying to deceive the king...There are different charges, but at least a dozen people are involved..."
Tian Chengrong shook his head.
"Next, it is said that we will further purify the inside and outside, but it is not only the manager's relationship, I am afraid that other important things will happen... Please also prepare the manager to beware..."
. . . . . . .
In the General's Mansion of Tianchang County, the imprisoned inspector of the food court, Huang E, also knelt on the ground, and cried out loudly to the iron-clad yellow nest in plainclothes:
"Brother, this is from my true heart. I don't want you to be distracted and disturbed, so as not to delay the big brother secretly negotiating about Zhao'an..."
"But I don't want the servant Li Yan (joining the army) who is in charge of me, but he secretly concealed evil intentions, and secretly erased a few handed military documents and retention records, and persuaded me to suppress this matter before making any calculations..."
"I've always used him smoothly but I've been blinded by the lard, and I would have listened to his nonsense and made this huge mistake; now, I dare not expect the big brother to spare my mistake;"
"I just want to think about the reason of coming out to fight for my hometown and returning to the roots of the fallen leaves. After I succumbed to the law, I will leave a handful of bones, and I will have the opportunity to be buried under Eshan in my hometown in the future. Ghost"
Hearing this, although Huang Chao was still expressionless, he sighed heavily in his heart; and touched on some memories of his hometown and old things that he cherished; as a child of the Huang family and a member of the nearby tribe, Huang Di participated in it very early. The family salt trade business; but it has been squandered until the eldest to get married.
Then it didn't take long for the newlyweds to meet themselves not to return to their hometown, and it coincided with the subordinates and the potential family from the county who coveted and cleverly seized Huang's possessions, and finally had to respond to the situation. As a result, Huang Ee left his newly married wife and followed him without hesitation.
I waited a few months to fight back, but it was the result of being slaughtered. After following me all the way, I didn't know how much hardship I suffered, how many sins I suffered, and how many injuries were added to my body. It was so easy to have a chance to enjoy the blessing. It didn't take long before he was implicated in committing this capital crime.
Therefore, when linking his unreserved attitude of confession to these pasts, Huang Chao found that it was difficult for Huang Chao to make up his mind to directly order it to be dragged out and sent off.
And when Huang Chao left without saying a word, Huang Ye, who was kneeling on the spot, also let out a sigh of relief in his heart; but said that this terrible hurdle was finally over; then, he secretly thanked the person who sent him secretly. The person who mixes around and gives his own ideas;
This elder brother was able to endure hardships in his early years, and he was able to discipline himself and others strictly; therefore, he was unrelenting in his prestige for this. But also with the increasing position and power over the years, it has become a little concerned about the old feelings.
Therefore, only by doing what you like and doing what you like, can you find such a first-line opportunity for yourself in this crisis; after all, everyone is the Huang family, can you really cruelly kill your own brothers who are already familiar with them? , And give up the key position to other outsiders.
Therefore, next he must find a way to find an opportunity for this elder brother to take advantage of the opportunity to get down the stairs; he can truly get out of this mishandled crisis of confidence and gain the possibility of resurrecting in the future.
For example, can you give treasure to Mrs. Liu who gave birth to the second son for her elder brother? (End of this chapter)
