Sure enough, the people of Guide Mansion were gathered in front of the yamen, the reasonable Taiping Army shouted loudly, and the white-flour steamed buns placed at the door were hot several times, and they didn't see a few people come out to follow them, some young men couldn't stand the temptation, so they wanted to come out and eat a steamed bun, and then they were threatened by the old man near the left: "You kid, if you eat their steamed buns, the government will be the first to cut off your head when you come back," "If you go out, don't think about going to the ancestral grave in the future!" "Only some scoundrels didn't care about these dangers, went out of the crowd, received white-flour steamed buns, scattered braids, and joined the Taiping army.

The Taiping army defeated the Henan governor Lu Yinghub's troops outside Guide Mansion, and on June 15, they were defeated in Guide Mansion (now Shangqiu) and captured a large number of iron cannons. Sixteen days later, he went north to Liujiakou, where he planned to cross the Yellow River and go northeast by way of the mountain. At that time, the Qing court had detected the intentions of the Taiping army, and urgently dispatched troops to burn boats along the river to prevent blockage. The Taiping army abandoned and returned to Germany, followed the west of the river, successively captured Ningling Suizhou (now Sui County) Qi County Chenliu, on the 22nd the whole army to Kaifeng Mansion outside the city, the siege of the city was not overcome, moved to Zhuxian Town. On the 29th, he was evacuated, passing through Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Zhongmu, and went to Bishui on the third day of July.

June 28, Wuzhi County.

Wuzhi Xia belongs to Jizhou, Spring and Autumn Zhihuai County, Qin changed its name to Wude. In the sixteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, Wuzhi County was placed and used until the Qing Dynasty. Outside the county seat of Wuzhi County is the Yellow River water that rolls all over the sky and looks at the east to flow, it is the height of summer at this time, the water is monstrous, standing on the Yellow River embankment, only a sound of water vapor comes back, the opposite side of Wuzhi County is Zhengzhou Mansion, across the opposite bank faintly can also see the fishermen leaning on the opposite side to cast nets on the embankment.

Outside the camp of the Qing army, the people turned on their horses, the Qing soldiers wearing trumpet uniforms shouted to demolish the barracks, the monk Greenqin sat in the handsome tent, holding the documents in his hand and looking at it, his staff, the master Zhang Dongfan waved the folding fan into the handsome tent of the monk king, made a gesture, and said: "Prince Gong ordered Zhili and Shandong to supply our grain and grass infinitely the day before yesterday, last afternoon, it has been eight thousand loads, I have written down the receipt, please put on the big seal." ”

"Hmm," because he was afraid of the rumors, and the army led by the monk did not ask Henan Province to pay for grain and grass, Monk Greenqin put down the paperwork in his hand and asked, "How are the preparations outside?" ”

"It's ready to be pulled out at any time."

"Okay, pass on the general's order, start immediately after lunch, and walk west along the Yellow River! Send scouts and the general army of Yansui Town to see where the traitors cross the river! ”

"Yes!"

Bishui Town, known as "Xiongzhen" in ancient times, is a town under the jurisdiction of Xingyang Prefecture in Henan Province. Kaifeng, the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties in the east, Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties in the west, Shaolin Temple of Songyue in the south, and the Yellow River, the source of China, in the north, have the Bianhe River meandering and flowing, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

The Taiping army thinks that the monks and Taoists are the heavenly demons who want to be exterminated, and the thousand-year-old temple in Bishui Town - Yuanfeng Temple, none of the monks are gone, all of them were hanged by Dinghu Hou Li Kaifang on the archway of the mountain gate, the Buddha statues in the room were all destroyed, Lin Kaifang sat on the throne of Sakyamuni on the Daxiong Treasure Hall and laughed, and one of Ananda's arms fell in front of the incense case.

A Taiping army knelt down and saluted: "Dinghu Hou, Jinghu Hou has killed the Qing demons in the town, collected their money, please prepare to pull out, cross the Yellow River in Bishui Town today, and kill the Qing Demon's Jingshi!" ”

"Okay, pack up, immediately rendezvous with Jinghuhou, cross the Yellow River, and let the Qing demons in Beijing taste the power of our heavenly soldiers and generals!"

"Yes!"

Henan Province.

A man galloped close to the city gate of Henan Mansion, because it was a rebellion against Henan, originally there were many fewer business travelers in and out of the big city of Henan Mansion, the soldiers guarding the city were bored basking in the sun and nonsense, seeing the knight, the gatekeeper was about to come forward and ask, the man shouted: "Fire hand fire delivery!" The gatekeepers didn't dare to intercept it, so they had to let the man gallop into the gate of Henan Mansion.

A young man who had just been on an errand touched his shiny head and asked the head of the gate guard suspiciously: "Brother Hu, what is this fire delivery?" Why don't we interrogate? ”

"That's an emergency military situation! If you want to report to the top urgently, if anyone stops you, it is a blessing to be trampled to death by a horse, and if you don't trample to death, you will be beheaded by military law! You should be vigilant in the future, don't make a mistake, if you commit an accident at that time, Brother Hu will not be able to save you! ”

"Yes, yes, the little brother must remember Brother Hu's words." The recruit was submissive.

The rise of what everyone was talking about, that Brother Hu began to talk about his glorious past, saying that he had stopped the frame of the Bingbei Road and asked him to line up to enter the city, and the Bingbei Road could not take himself, so he could only enter the city honestly, and when everyone was listening to the stars and worshiping incomparably, they only heard a burst of thunder in the city, and the muffled rumble gradually became louder, and the face of the big brother Hu changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ordered the brothers guarding the city, "Quickly retreat!" The cavalry is going out of town! Brother Hu and a few of his subordinates shrank outside the city gate hole, only to feel that the horses' hooves were flying, the people and horses were neighing, and the dust and fog were filled, and in a blink of an eye, thousands of cavalry galloped out of Henan Mansion and went to the east.

The smoke and dust did not disperse for a while, several people waved their hands, coughed a few times, and a thin man with a black mole on the corner of his mouth said with a smile: "These masters of Yansui Town don't know who to go to scourge. ”

"You know what!" Brother Hu scolded, and then pondered: "This is going to the east, it must be to encircle and suppress the rebellion!" Amitabha, hurry up and kill them! If it weren't for the rebellion entrenched on the ground in Henan, why would we have lost so much oil and water in the door, and we wouldn't be able to finish it! ”

"Brother Hu is right!"

On the official road outside Henan Province, the town chief soldier Ke Lihong rode his horse to the east under the support of a group of pro-soldiers, and there was a scout in front of him who faced the torrent of the large army, the scout did not dare to meet head-on, and stood on the official road with the reins of the horse, which was worthy of half of the cavalry, and saw a group of people coming over from the general army, and hurriedly turned the horse's head, followed Ke Zongbing's side, and did not dismount, and hurriedly said: "Military gate!" The monk ordered that he must rush to the place where the rebel is located fifteen days ago, and if the rebel crosses the river, he will immediately attack him halfway! ”

"Okay, pass the order, hurry up, go east immediately, and then theorize when you arrive in Bishui Town! The monk king is only the Yellow River, and this seat will block the retreat of the rebels first! ”

"Wow!"

Monk Greenqin raised his hand to stop the persuasion of Jianrui Yingdu Baishan: "Monk King, why do you need to gallop for hundreds of miles, we just need to stay by the Yellow River to wait for work." The Chinese army will stand behind a small earthen bag on the side of the Yellow River outside the city of Shaanzhou, and the monk Gelinqin said: "The emperor's will is that a thief is not allowed to cross the Yellow River, and the king's current law has violated the holy decree. Needless to say, the order," a group of generals on the side leaned down to obey the order, "immediately cross the river to find out the news of the traitor, if the traitor is not in the river today, let's cross the river and have a good time with the traitor!" ”

"Wow!"

Wu Yundi was so excited that he couldn't help himself behind the Jianrui Camp Dutong Baishan, twisting the reins of the horse with both hands, and the rouge horse under him felt the master's fighting spirit and sneezed uneasily.

It's finally time to go on the field and kill the enemy!
