The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 449
Guo Yi knelt down and saluted, and then said: "Master Chairman, Shi Dakai has left Tianjing now, and it seems that he has a very delicate relationship with the Heavenly King. Shenlong will have any favors."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Could I be afraid of that Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan? Why does he want to have nothing to do with me? Besides, I don't have a good impression of Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, even though I was out of respect for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and took the initiative to show their favor to them." , but they didn't give us face either, so I won't bother with them now."

Guo Yi said: "But I heard that the chairman's purpose is to recapture the treasure of Xilong Mountain. Shi Dakai is not in Tianjing, so the treasure must have been sent to Tianjing. Even if we cooperate with Shi Dakai, I am afraid that the chairman's goal will not be realized. desire."

Huang Xiaohu said: "It is certain to take back the treasures of Xilong Mountain, but the alliance with Shi Dakai is to fight against the Qing court. There is a difference between the two. Although Shi Dakai is no longer in Tianjing, I always believe that as long as we can unite with Shi Dakai, Wang Hongxiuquan will definitely not fight that day." He will turn against Shi Da for the mere treasure of Xilong Mountain."

Guo Yi said: "Since the chairman has already made a decision, I don't dare to continue talking."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Guo Yi, I will entrust you with the task of escorting Chen Yucheng to find Shi Dakai. I hope the journey goes smoothly."

After Guo Yi took the order, she said goodbye and left.

A few days later, Gu Quan arrived at Qingyuan City with his family and cronies. Luo Hongfan hosted a banquet in honor of him, and Huang Xiaohu also attended the banquet.

Huang Xiaohu said to Gu Quan: "Master Luo recommended you to guard Fuxi this time. I completely believe in Master Luo's vision and your ability to guard Gu Quan. I wonder what you plan to do after you arrive at Fuxi?"

Gu Quan said: "According to Master Luo's wishes, everything will be done in accordance with the rules of the Dragon Society, no favoritism or fraud, no partiality to villains, and try to be fair and just."

Huang Xiaohu asked: "Master Gu, how many generals will he need to guard Fuxi City this time?"

Gu Quan said: "This time I only brought dozens of personal soldiers, plus a few capable generals, I hope the chairman can leave 2000 people enough."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Maybe Mr. Gu doesn't know the importance of Fuxi City. Is 2000 people really enough?"

Gu Quan said: "Although 2000 people are not many, but Gu will naturally recruit some recruits, so it should be enough."

Luo Hongfan said: "Gu Quan, the chairman hopes that you will focus on defense this time and not take the initiative to ask for a fight. And if the situation is in danger, you can quickly lead the team to evacuate Fuxi. Preserving your strength is the fundamental."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Master Luo is right. Preserving strength is fundamental. Besides, although Fuxi City is extremely important to us, it is not impossible to discard it temporarily. Once the Taiping Army approaches, Master Gu must not Get angry."

Gu Quan said: "I would like to follow the teachings of Master Luo and the Chairman."

Everyone drank and chatted again, and then dispersed.

Two days later, Gu Quan led his family members and cronies to Fuxi City, while Guo Yi also led someone to escort Chen Yucheng to Fuxi.

A few days later, Ji Wu led the army back to Qingyuan from Fuxi City, and Huang Xiaohu went out of the city to meet him in person.

In the next few days, messengers continued to report news that the army of officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty approached Tianjing City, but they also encountered stubborn resistance from the Taiping Army, and the leader of the Taiping Army who was responsible for resisting the Qing army this time was Li Xiucheng.

The Taiping army and the Qing army fought fiercely for several days, and the outcome was hard to tell. Although Huang Xiaohu knew the direction of history, he still didn't know the specifics of this small battle, so he didn't dare to speculate who would win.

Huang Xiaohu had been waiting for Guo Yi's letter, and finally got the news.

Guo Yi escorted Chen Yucheng back to Qingyang City, and he arrived safely. At this time, Guo Yi let Chen Yucheng go, and then went south to buy urgent supplies.

Huang Xiaohu didn't act rashly for the time being, in fact, he just wanted to wait for Shi Dakai's reply. After all, he had his own words first, and he really didn't want to continue to be an enemy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time, because the Qing army had already made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom feel heavy pressure. If Huang Xiaohu continued to go south Attacking Qingyang City, I am afraid that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be attacked on both sides.

According to the news in the past few days, the Qing army and the Taiping army were at a stalemate. It seemed that no one had taken advantage of it. However, the Taiping army was on the defensive, while the Qing army was mainly attacking, so the offensive and defensive war became a protracted and attrition war, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Huang Xiaohu continued to wait for Shi Dakai's response, until Guo Yi led the team back, and then received the messenger's letter, and it was Shi Dakai himself dictated the confidential letter written by someone else.

Guo Yi gave the letter to Huang Xiaohu, and Huang Xiaohu immediately summoned Luo Hongfan and Huang Zixuan to discuss the matter.

Luo Hongfan read the letter, and then said: "My lord, Shi Dakai seems to be reasonable and can tell right from wrong, so I accepted the conditions of my lord, and is willing to donate the treasures of Xilong Mountain in exchange for the cooperation of the Dragon Society."

Huang Xiaohu was overjoyed, and said: "Sure enough, I have lived up to my expectations. Since Shi Dakai has agreed to the terms, now we have to show some sincerity."

Huang Zixuan asked: "What is the chairman going to do?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I will personally lead the troops to help Li Xiucheng repel the Qing army, and this time I will also take the opportunity to go to Tianjing."

Guo Yi said: "Go to Tianjing? Is the President going to attack Tianjing?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's not to fight Tianjing, but to go to Tianjing to meet that heavenly king Hong Xiuquan."

Guo Yi said: "But the chairman went to Tianjing, isn't it very dangerous?"

Luo Hongfan said: "Although Shi Dakai is willing to cooperate, the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are all from disorderly backgrounds, so they may not talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality to the chairman, so if the chairman goes to Tianjing, it may be a disaster."

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will be killed by them? I went to Tianjing, so I think they would not dare to embarrass me, but how to go to Tianjing, I haven't decided yet, this is just my idea .”

Huang Zixuan said: "Master President is going to assist the Taiping Army to repel the Qing Army. This will be tantamount to turning against the Qing Army. Then Weiyang City and Qinglong City will be in trouble."

Huang Xiaohu said: "It will be a matter of time before we turn against the Qing court. At this time, I won't care so much."

Luo Hongfan said: "Since the chairman wants to unite with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Yangcheng needs to focus on precautions. Once the Qing army attacks, it must be prepared in advance."

Huang Xiaohu said: "There are still [-] elite soldiers in the barracks, and Weiyang City should be fine for the time being. In fact, you have overlooked one point. The focus of my alliance with the Taiping Army this time is to repel the Qing army. Of course, if I join the Taiping Army in the Northern Expedition , the Qing army should have no time to attack Weiyang City."

Guo Yi said: "Northern Expedition? With the current strength of our Shenlonghui, how can we carry out the Northern Expedition?"

Huang Zixuan said: "The Northern Expedition really required too much troops, please think twice before acting, Chairman."

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You still don't seem to trust me very much, but I don't want to explain too much to you. Now pass my order and reply to the Taiping Army quickly, saying that our Shenlong Association is willing to send troops to Subei to help the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom repel the Qing Dynasty. military."

Luo Hongfan said: "Where is Shi Dakai? How do you reply?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Thank him for his hard work, express our gratitude, and tell him at the same time that we will show our sincerity to Shi Dakai, and will soon let Shi Dakai see the strength of our Shenlonghui."

After the meeting, Luo Hongfan wrote letters to Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng, the chief general of the Taiping Army who resisted the Qing Army, according to Huang Xiaohu's request.

Seven days later, Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Army wrote back, saying that he was very happy to be able to join hands with the Shenlong Society to fight against the Qing army, and implored the Shenlong Society to send troops to northern Jiangsu to help as soon as possible.

After Huang Xiaohu received Li Xiucheng's reply letter, he immediately counted [-] elite soldiers, and set off the next day to go directly to northern Jiangsu.

Three days later, Huang Xiaohu's army resisted Fuxi, and Fuxi guard Gu Quan personally welcomed Huang Xiaohu's army into the city to repair.

After leaving Fuxi, Huang Xiaohu arrived in Qingyang after another two days' travel, and then marched from Qingyang to northern Jiangsu. At this moment, northern Jiangsu had been besieged by the Qing army for more than 20 days, and he could barely support the defense. The situation was already very critical.

Huang Xiaohu didn't care about that much, and rushed into the Qing army's camp with five thousand elite soldiers. At this moment, the Qing army's camp has tens of thousands of people, but they are exhausted from fighting for days. The army will come suddenly, so they have to face Huang Xiaohu's army in a hurry, and the situation is at a disadvantage.

Seeing that there was a large army rushing to help, the defenders of northern Jiangsu were very motivated. At this moment, more than [-] Qing troops were attacking the city of northern Jiangsu. They did not expect that Huang Xiaohu's army would bypass them and rush into the Qing camp.

Under the scuffle between the two places, Huang Xiaohu's eyes were red with blood. Wherever he went, he raised his sword and dropped it, and the heads of Qing soldiers fell to the ground, as freely as chopping melons and vegetables.

The Qing army had never seen such a brave and invincible general as Huang Xiaohu, so when they saw Huang Xiaohu kill them, they all threw away their helmets and armor and just wanted to escape. How could they have the heart to resist?

After a period of melee, the Qing army was defeated, and there were countless escapees.

Huang Xiaohu saw that the situation was very clear, so he directly led the army to attack the besieging Qing army in reverse.

The Qing army besieging northern Jiangsu was attacked by the enemy, so naturally they could not continue to hold on, so they could only withdraw from northern Jiangsu as soon as possible and fled to the north.

In this battle, Huang Xiaohu lost more than 5000 of his [-] elite soldiers, but killed nearly [-] of the Qing army, and captured more than [-] people.

Huang Xiaohu's army seized a large amount of supplies on the battlefield, so they set up camp on the spot, and at the same time sent [-] soldiers and horses to escort the wounded and supplies, and escorted more than [-] surrendered troops to leave Subei, and returned to Fuxi to be placed by Gu Quan.

After everything was arranged properly, Huang Xiaohu entered Subei City with two hundred soldiers, preparing to meet Li Xiucheng, the chief general of the Taiping Army.

Li Xiucheng personally welcomed Huang Xiaohu into the city, and even hosted a banquet for Huang Xiaohu and his party.
