27. Eight Banners of Manchurian Mongolia (7)
The generals in the tent were in an uproar, and a commander of the Taiping Army with a red face said eagerly: "Master Hou, what should I do next, the Pinghu Marquis in the north is estimated to be really like what the Qing Demon said, the whole army has been wiped out, and the reinforcements in the south are not available, so how can we rely on these more than 10,000 people to fight in Beijing?" ”
"Exactly, the Mongolian cavalry of the Qing Demon also joined the action to encircle us, this day is hot, the Mongolian horse of the Qing Demon is not tolerant of the heat, so there is no threat to us, but this is going to be August, and when the horses are fat, then our cavalry is okay to say, the infantry will be scattered in a rush!"
Lin Fengxiang waved his hand, the generals stopped talking, ready to listen to the orders of Jinghu Hou, there was not a trace of wind in the sealed tent, the generals felt that they were already sweating, Lin Fengxiang thought for a long time, and then said: "It is impossible to cross the Yellow River immediately now, and it is unrealistic to return to Tianjing." If we talk about going back to Tianjing, it is estimated that the brothers will rush home, and the cavalry of the Qing Demon will charge again, and none of us will be able to go back! Now I can only think about the ground in Henan and Anhui, dealing with the Qing Demon, and waiting for the reinforcements of the Dongwang Army! Let's first look at the mountains and forests there, see the stitches, left and right, uncertain purpose, we must let the cavalry of the Qing Demon not give full play to the advantage! ”
"That's all we can do now."
Outside Zhengzhou.
Monk Gelinqin was not interested in the flattery of the Zhengzhou Mansion who knelt down under his horse, and said with a smile to Ke Lihong, the chief soldier of Yansui Town, who was standing on the side: "General Ke not only beheaded more than 1,000 rebels, but also bit the rebels to the death, and did not let the rebels become troubled places. ”
Ke Lihong knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, the iron armor on his body was stirred up, "Mark the grace of Xie Dashuai's cultivation." ”
"Hurry up, there is no need to be polite in the army, next, the commander first asked the soldiers of the Eight Banners to go up to me first, and the soldiers of Yansui Town retreated to the rear army to rest first, waiting for the commander's order, Li Kaifang's troops in the north have been completely annihilated, and the commander wants this Lin Fengxiang to fly hard!"
"Wow!"
Monk Greenqin turned his head to look at the prefect of Zhengzhou Mansion, the fat prefect smiled and bent down and lowered his hands and waited for Monk Greenqin to speak, "Zhengzhou Mansion, you choose a few people who are familiar with the terrain of Henan to send to Ben Shuai's army, Ben Shuai must know every river and every mountain in Henan Province!" If you do this well, your Zhengzhou Mansion will be a great achievement! ”
"Yes, yes, the monk king can rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to do it!"
In the Old Summer Palace, in the main hall of the wind and lotus in the Quyuan, the large flower pots on both sides are full of ice cubes stored in winter, the lotus wind blows in outside the hall, and the dormitory is cool and breathable, Xingzhen strives to pick up the embroidery needle as thick as a hair, the pink silk thread on the embroidery needle is almost invisible to the naked eye, Xingzhen picked up the embroidery needle, let out a long breath, and then gritted her teeth, poked it fiercely from the silk surface on the embroidery frame, embroidered up and down a few times, only felt that her waist was a little sore, Hurriedly asked Xiao Anzi to move a few softer pillows for herself.
Finally embroidered a tip of a small petal on the belly pocket, the palm of her hand was sweating, and Xingzhen put down the embroidery needle. He looked at his craftsmanship proudly, and asked An Dehai on the side: "Xiao Anzi, how do you see the embroidery in this palace?" ”
An Dehai looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said with a stiff face: "Niangniang's craftsmanship is naturally good." Before Xingzhen could speak, Fan'er came in with a bowl of maple dew tea, saw the belly pocket of Yi Guifei's craftsmanship, put down the maple dew tea and came to the front of Xingzhen, took a closer look, and then smiled maliciously: "Niangniang's craftsmanship is really good, this little pink butterfly on the lotus petals is really vivid, I can't see where is the head, where are the wings!" Fan'er must not know what "abstraction" is, if he knew, he would definitely hurry up and arrange it.
The assistant manager of the sixth palace and the powerful emperor's favorite concubine Yi Guifei Niangniang made a big red face, and Xiao Anzi on the side couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, Xingzhen patted Fan'er's head with a brush, "You have a lot of mouths!" Xingzhen looked at her craftsmanship and became more and more annoyed, why is Dongfang Undefeated embroidery so good, she has crossed into a woman, she can't learn this!" Let's just ask Anqian to take it and embroider it, and the emperor will just think that I embroidered it. Ancy smiled and replied, putting away her belly pocket and silk thread needle.
Xingzhen picked up the butterfly pattern colorful bowl, opened it and took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction, "This tea has been brewed a few times to be excellent, but recently I like to eat these sweet and sour things." Seeing the hawthorn cake and rose roll on the coffee table again, he picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and Fan'er was about to say something, when Tang Wufu outside announced loudly, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Xingzhen hurriedly swallowed the hawthorn cake, wiped her mouth with a silk, quickly stood up from the Luohan bed with her stomach, and helped Anqian's hand to get down, just got off the ground, and saw Emperor Xianfeng rushing in in a hurry, with a fold in his hand, the emperor ignored the palace people who knelt on the ground and saluted, and looked at Xingzhen who was squatting and saluting excitedly and said: "Lan'er, Monk Lingqin 600 miles to urgently report the good news, take advantage of the time to cross the river half-crossing, more than 10,000 people were killed, 1,500 people were surrendered, and all the rebellions north of the Yellow River were destroyed!" Hurriedly pulled up Concubine Yi, "I said that you are pregnant, don't make such false courtesies, get up and sit down," Emperor Xianfeng waited for Xingzhen to sit down, and after sitting down himself, he hurriedly handed the fold in his hand to Xingzhen, "Take a look!" Lan'er, Wu Yundi, who you told me about last time, also rode alone to capture the bandit leader's local official Zheng Prime Minister and Pinghu Hou Li Kaifang, hahaha, Lan'er, this is a great joy! ”
Xingzhen looked at the recital of Monk Greenqin's victory at a glance, and then said to Emperor Xianfeng with a smile: "This Baishan has failed the grace of the saint and should be killed, but fortunately, Wu Yundi has saved the glory of the Jianrui Battalion, and he is worthy of being the first family member, and he has not lost the face of the emperor." ”
"Extremely, extremely!" Emperor Xianfeng happily slapped the table, "Or Lan'er, you have the vision, just pick out such a kid from the Jianrui camp, and he is also a natural general, the messenger who came back from Chuanjie and the military machine Zhang Jing said, that kid was wearing silver armor, majestic, and jumped lightly from the horse, and he captured Li Kaifang with a single ride, and fell in front of the monk king, just like the reincarnation of the white horse Zhao Zilong, as brave as the reincarnation of the white horse!" ”
