The soldiers went to give orders, and Li Zhen and Liu Taiping talked about the arrangements for sending troops.

Before you know it, time flies.

In the small study, hurried footsteps sounded one after another. Zhou Xiuying, Lu Shaochuan, Smith, Huang Shihai, and Yang Banhou arrived one after another, and they all sat in the study in turn.

Only Qi Zhenhai led the troops outside and could not attend.

Li Zhen said in a low tone: "The Jiangbei camp was broken, Qi Shan died of illness, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army were rushing towards Shanghai, and Li Xiucheng was still chasing after him, and the situation was not good." Previously, the emperor also sent someone to send a decree to let Ben Shuai lead his troops to attack Nanjing. Ben Shuai thought about it for a while and decided to deal with Li Xiucheng and Yang Xiuqing first, and then set out to deal with Nanjing. ”

Lu Shaochuan was particularly excited, and took the lead in saying: "Dashuai, my knife and gun are ready, you can give the order." Wherever you point, I will hit you, regardless of whether he is Yang Xiuqing or Li Xiucheng, kill them all. ”

"Poof!!"

Zhou Xiuying couldn't help laughing and said, "Commander Lu, where the big boss tells you to go, you will go?" If Dashuai asks you to stay in Shanghai, are you willing? Don't talk so much! ”

"Husband...... Captain Zhou, what you said is not right. ”

Lu Shaochuan was suddenly anxious, so he didn't care that Zhou Xiuying was Li Zhen's woman.

Besides, I haven't had sex yet.

Lu Shaochuan held his head high and said unceremoniously: "Commander Zhou, what I'm talking about is that wherever the marshal is pointing, I will fight, and I will lead the troops to fight." You said that I should stay in Shanghai, isn't this beating myself? Commander Zhou, my third regiment has already recruited 1,000 soldiers, and now it is continuing to expand, I remember that your fifth regiment is less than 700 people. When there is a big competition in the army, you have to be careful, my soldiers will take care of the soldiers of your fifth regiment. ”

Zhou Xiuying snorted and immediately said, "Who is afraid of whom!" None of my Zhou Xiuying's soldiers are of a bad breed. ”

Two people, needle-to-needle.

Seeing this, Huang Shihai shouted: "What is the noise? The commander invited you here to order the next battle arrangement, not to let you argue. It's not at all like you being the commander of the 3rd and 5th regiments. Look at Captain Yang and Captain Smith, how quiet people are, you can't learn more. ”

Huang Shihai, as the brigade commander, is the commander in the army.

Zhou Xiuying and Lu Shaochuan argued, and Huang Shihai suddenly felt that he had lost face, and couldn't help but scold.

Not to mention, Huang Shihai's words, the two of them quieted down.

Li Zhen has been watching the changes, and when he saw Zhou Xiuying and Lu Shaochuan quarreling, he was not in a hurry. As long as the generals in the army don't have major problems, Li Zhen doesn't bother to ask. Seeing that Huang Shihai stopped the two of them, Li Zhen was also quite satisfied with Huang Shihai. This brigade commander still has prestige and is able to calm the scene.

Li Zhen coughed lightly twice and said, "Regarding the arrangement this time, my husband and I have already discussed it. Rise! ”

"Yes!"

All five of them stood up with serious expressions. All five of them were wearing military uniforms and looked extremely energetic.

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Huang Shihai and Zhou Xiuying listen to the order!" ”

"Here!" Huang Shihai said loudly.

"Here!" Zhou Xiuying also said loudly.

Li Zhen instructed: "The army is on the march, Huang Shihai is in Shanghai, and Zhou Xiuying leads the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment to stay behind and guard Shanghai together. If there is a small disturbance, all of them will be suppressed, those who should be arrested and those who should be killed, I will come back and deal with them uniformly. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai had a bitter face, so he could only agree.

Just now, he scolded Zhou Xiuying and Lu Shaochuan, but now he has become his own bad luck.

Huang Shihai is also a general in the army, and he also wants to lead the troops to the battle, but Li Zhen gave the order, and Huang Shihai did not dare to refute, at least not on such a formal occasion. Once the words contradict each other, it will be a case of disobedience to military orders. In particular, Huang Shihai is still the top general of the army, and it is impossible to disobey Li Zhen's orders.

Zhou Xiuying didn't rush to answer, and looked at Li Zhen with teety eyes.

Obviously, Zhou Xiuying is also unwilling to stay.

Li Zhen's face sank like water, his eyes flashed with a cold and serious light, shining directly at Zhou Xiuying, and asked in a deep voice: "Commander Zhou, do you disobey orders?" ”

"Obedience!" Zhou Xiuying gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed.

Li Zhen shouted again: "Yang Banhou listens to the order!" ”

"Here!" Yang Banhou said loudly.

Yang Banhou smiled in his heart, secretly thinking that Zhou Xiuying and Huang Shihai stayed behind, and the rest were probably the vanguard army and the people who followed Li Zhen to go on the expedition. Now he is called out by Li Zhen alone, and he is likely to be a candidate for the vanguard army. Yang Banhou was overjoyed in his heart, his eyes were full of expectations, and he waited for Li Zhen to give an order.

Li Zhen didn't know what Yang Banhou was thinking, and said unhappily: "Yang Banhou led the soldiers of the first regiment to Nanjing to join the soldiers of the second regiment of Qi Zhenhai. The main task of the two route armies was to prevent the Taiping army from attacking Shanghai, and the second task was to attract the forces of the bandits and take the opportunity to annihilate them. You judge the situation for yourselves, and move your cameras. ”

Yang Banhou opened his mouth wide, but he didn't expect it to be this order.

At this moment, Yang Banhou was also stunned.

Yang Banhou saw Li Zhen's stern gaze, suddenly sobered up, and said loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Li Zhen rolled his eyes and shouted: "Smith, Lu Shaochuan listen to the order!" ”

"Here!" Smith and Lu Shaochuan said at the same time.

Both of them looked serious, Smith was angry, and Lu Shaochuan couldn't see the slightest smile on his face. This guy can be serious, he can laugh casually, and he is thick-skinned and thick-skinned.

Li Zhen ordered: "Mobilize the soldiers of the third regiment and the soldiers of the fourth regiment and go with me." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them responded loudly, their voices full of endless joy.

Smith and Lu Shaochuan went out with the army, which made Huang Shihai, Zhou Xiuying and Yang Banhou feel helpless. A foreigner and one of the most unreliable pirates actually followed Li Zhen on the expedition, which was unexpected by the three of them.

Li Zhen waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, go and prepare." ”

Lu Shaochuan and Smith walked out happily, Yang Banhou and Huang Shihai shook their heads and sighed, but still chose to leave. Only Zhou Xiuying did not leave, but looked at Li Zhen with a look of anticipation on her face. Li Zhen said with a serious expression: "Xiuying, this is the result of my discussion with my husband, and my husband said that you are suitable to stay in Shanghai, so you can stay." ”

Zhou Xiuying's eyes turned, and she stared at Liu Taiping coldly, full of murderous aura.

The corners of Liu Taiping's mouth twitched slightly, what is this?

It is clearly Li Zhen's own decision, and it has nothing to do with him! He just discussed it with Li Zhen, and now it has become his responsibility. Liu Taiping did not refute either, and said: "General Zhou, the soldiers under your command are not well trained, and it is most appropriate to stay behind. ”

Zhou Xiuying snorted, turned around and left.

Apparently, the female general was furious.

When Zhou Xiuying left, Liu Taiping smiled bitterly: "My lord, you are a miserable old man." General Zhou lives in the mansion, and the old man's family also lives in the house, you splash dirty water on the old man, isn't this embarrassing for the old man! ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Xiuying will also play a little temper, and it will be fine." ”

Liu Taiping muttered secretly, since you are playing a petty temper, why do you want to push it on me?

Immediately, Li Zhen restrained his smile, got up and walked to Liu Taiping's side, and said solemnly: "Sir, I will lead the army to the expedition, and all the big and small matters in Shanghai will be handed over to Mr. ”

Liu Taiping said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, if you are in Shanghai for a day, you will ensure that Shanghai will not be chaotic for a day." ”

The four looked at each other, and a smile appeared on them.
