The animal world of the head of the village

Chapter 450

During the banquet, Li Xiucheng said to Huang Xiaohu: "Surely this is the president of the famous Dragon Society?"

Huang Xiaohu saw that Li Xiucheng was only about 20 years old, although his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were deep, heroic, and there was a murderous look in his brows.

Before Huang Xiaohu made a sound, another general of the Taiping Army brought the wine and said to Huang Xiaohu: "I, Xiao Yu, give you a toast. Thanks to you guys who came in time this time, otherwise Northern Jiangsu would be in danger!"

After Huang Xiaohu had a drink with Xiao Yu, he said, "I've heard of Li Xiucheng's name a long time ago, but seeing Li Xiucheng himself this time, he really is a young hero."

Li Xiucheng said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I was just a lieutenant under King Yi. Thanks to King Yi's promotion, I was able to reach my current position. This time I received a letter from King Yi and learned that the Dragon Club will Send troops to help, and sure enough, the president will come."

Huang Xiaohu said: "It's a pity that our Shenlonghui's troops are insufficient, otherwise I will join with General Li Xiucheng in the Northern Expedition and defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop."

Li Xiucheng asked: "How many soldiers and horses did the chairman bring this time?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Five thousand soldiers and horses, but lost more than 2000 people after a fierce battle, and I ordered another thousand soldiers to escort the wounded and surrendered troops back to Fuxi, so there are only less than [-] people left."

Li Xiucheng asked, "Why didn't you kill the surrendered soldiers?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Shenlonghui has never killed surrendered soldiers, and I made this rule myself."

Xiao Yu asked in surprise: "Five thousand soldiers defeated tens of thousands of Qing troops? Chairman, are you joking?"

Huang Xiaohu asked: "How many people are there in the Qing army? Why are there so many?"

Li Xiucheng said: "At that time, there were more than 4 Qing troops attacking northern Jiangsu, and there should have been [-] Qing troops in the camp. The chairman actually defeated [-] Qing troops with [-] troops. It's unbelievable!"

Huang Xiaohu said: "The Qing army camp has 5000 soldiers and horses, why are there only [-] people attacking northern Jiangsu?"

Li Xiucheng said: "The Qing army attacked northern Jiangsu in three batches in turn, trying to use wheel warfare to consume our army's vigor and torture our army's will, but in the end it still failed."

Huang Xiaohu asked: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the northern Jiangsu garrison?"

Li Xiucheng said: "About [-] people, plus reinforcements, it can reach more than [-] people."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Since the Qing army only has tens of thousands of people, and you have more than [-] people, why do you feel that you are weak when fighting?"

Li Xiucheng said: "The Qing army went south this time. There are about tens of thousands of people. In addition to Subei, some Qing troops are already on the outskirts of Tianjing, so we have to divide our forces to fight."

Huang Xiaohu said: "According to what I know, there should be at least tens of thousands of defenders in Tianjing City. Why not send them out to encircle and wipe out the Qing troops on the periphery?"

Li Xiucheng said: "It seems that the chairman still doesn't know much about the situation in Tianjing. The Xiang army is eyeing the tiger. The Qing army's tens of thousands of soldiers are waiting for Tianjing. Outside the capital, so I don't want the Qing army to get close to Tianjing City."

Huang Xiaohu said: "So that's how it is, but if we cooperate, you are willing to lend me your troops, and I will help you save the siege of Tianjing."

Li Xiucheng said: "The chairman can clearly understand the number of defenders in Tianjing. It must be because he has a lot of eyes and ears. It's just a matter of borrowing troops, and it's not just my decision, so I beg the chairman to understand."

Huang Xiaohu said, "Where's Chen Yucheng? Why haven't you seen General Chen?"

Li Xiucheng said: "General Chen has already gone to Jiangxi. King Yi is marching west. General Chen will naturally go to help."

Huang Xiaohu said with a smile: "That being said, I really want to hear what General Li Xiucheng has to say. How do you think we should cooperate?"

Li Xiucheng said: "United against the Qing army, the Shenlonghui army is responsible for assisting our army on the periphery. The matter of defending the city must be resolved by ourselves. As for the soldiers and horses, if the Shenlonghui is unwilling to continue sending troops for reinforcements, then the president will be responsible." It seems that two thousand soldiers and horses can only be mixed into our army."

Huang Xiaohu said: "You actually think so, but I am a little disappointed. I was originally here to help you fight the Qing army this time. If you want to mix us into your army, then I am very sorry. Maybe I will Take down Qingyang City as soon as you get angry, and then you Subei will face the enemy."

After hearing what Huang Xiaohu said, a Taiping Army general immediately drew his sword and rushed out, but Li Xiucheng didn't stop him, so the Taiping Army general directly slashed at Huang Xiaohu.

It was too late and then it was too fast, Huang Xiaohu didn't back away, grabbed the long knife with his backhand, and chopped off his head with a single knife, immediately blood gushed out, even more blood splashed the banquet.

At this time, the generals of the Taiping Army drew their swords and glared at Huang Xiaohu and his party. Li Xiucheng was also stunned by Huang Xiaohu's bravery.

Huang Xiaohu didn't bother to pay attention to them, he just said: "You draw your swords if you are brave enough, I will never show mercy, and is this how your Taiping Army treats guests?"

The generals of the Taiping Army looked at Li Xiucheng one after another, as if waiting for Li Xiucheng's order to act.

Li Xiucheng said slowly at this time: "Master President, isn't it a little too much?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "It should be you who went too far, right?"

Li Xiucheng said: "The chairman threatened us just now, saying that he was going back to attack Qingyang City, and then joined forces with the Qing army to attack North Jiangsu. , but the chairman has already taught him a very painful lesson, so I think this matter will stop here, I wonder what the chairman wants?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "I'm not afraid of fighting, let alone fighting? You guys go up together, if you can touch me, I will admit defeat and let you handle it!"

Li Xiucheng said: "Dancing with knives and guns at the banquet is definitely not good, and this time we are hosting a banquet for the brothers of the Dragon Society. Of course, we don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Those who drew their swords just now, I will give you a chance to attack me first, because even if you don't attack me, I will not let you go. If you dare to draw your swords against me in the banquet, Don’t you think that’s the way to go?”

Li Xiucheng said: "Since the chairman insists on this, then I can only let it go."

When Li Xiucheng said this, five or six Taiping Army generals rushed towards Huang Xiaohu with their knives, and dozens of Taiping Army soldiers also rushed out to kill Huang Xiaohu and his party.

Now Huang Xiaohu knew that Li Xiucheng had set up an ambush long ago, so he didn't care so much, he went straight up and hacked to death five or six generals of the opponent, and then killed them together with dozens of Taiping soldiers. Li Xiucheng and Xiao Yu didn't make a move, so Huang Xiaohu didn't make things difficult for them.

After a scuffle, only three of Huang Xiaohu's confidantes were left, but all the soldiers and generals of the Taiping Army were hacked to death by Huang Xiaohu. The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying.

Xiao Yu came out at this time, and said: "I think the chairman has finished venting his anger, so let's stop here, how about it?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Li Xiucheng, what do you mean? If you are still not convinced, we can single out, and I will let you have one hand and one foot!"

Li Xiucheng's veins burst from anger, but he just held back and dared not make a sound.

Xiao Yu said: "Master President, how about I personally escort you out of the city?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "Well, today I will spare Li Xiucheng's life for your sake, but if you treat me like this today, then don't blame me for being rude to you."

Just as Huang Xiaohu was about to leave, Li Xiucheng said suddenly: "Mr. President, please stop. I was wrong this time. I will apologize to Mr. President!"

Huang Xiaohu said: "If you kneel down and beg me, maybe I can consider accepting your apology, otherwise I will definitely send troops to attack Qingyang, and if Qingyang is captured, I will attack northern Jiangsu, and then join the Qing army to besiege your Tianjing!"

Li Xiucheng calmed down, then knelt down to Huang Xiaohu, and said: "I implore the chairman to think twice, don't turn against us because of this matter, let alone join the Qing army in a fit of emotion, I kneel down to apologize to the chairman, I hope the president can forgive my mistake."

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu quickly knelt down to make amends, and said, "Master President, it is true that we were wrong this time, but the President should have killed many people, and the anger in his heart should have subsided a lot, so I implore the president to forgive our mistakes."

Huang Xiaohu saw that Li Xiucheng and Xiao Yu both knelt down to him, so he said generously: "Since you all knelt down and admitted your mistake, and I'm not such a petty person, let's forget about this time, I won't follow You care about it, but you have to promise to lend me troops, so that I can help you to repel the Qing army as soon as possible."

Li Xiucheng said: "Since the chairman has made such a request, I will dispatch [-] elite soldiers to obey the command of the chairman. Please, the chairman, repel the Qing soldiers as soon as possible, how about?"

Huang Xiaohu laughed a few times, and then said: "Okay, very good, I want to go back to the barracks first, and we will talk about the details tomorrow!"

Xiao Yu got up to escort Huang Xiaohu and his party out of the city, and then went back to report to Li Xiucheng.

Huang Xiaohu returned to the camp and called a meeting of several generals to discuss the matter.

One of the generals said: "The Taiping army dared to assassinate the chairman during the banquet. This matter must not be let go."

Another general also said: "They broke their promises, how can the chairman cooperate with them again?"

Huang Xiaohu said: "So I think our people will be used as personal soldiers. If they lend us troops, we will fight against the Qing army. If they don't, we will return to attack Qingyang."

At noon the next day, Huang Xiaohu met Li Xiucheng outside Subei City. Li Xiucheng said: "The [-] troops are already being dispatched, and they should be handed over to the chairman in two days."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Okay, then I will take over the [-] troops in two days, and then what do you want me to do?"

Li Xiucheng said: "Although the Qing army was defeated last time, the loss was not large, so the Qing army's power in the outskirts of Tianjing is still not small. I hope that the chairman can lead the [-] troops to the outskirts of Tianjing to fight the Qing army. The heroic bravery of the grown-up man, it must be no problem to repel the Qing army."

Huang Xiaohu said: "This ten thousand army is lent to me, but when will it be returned?"

Li Xiucheng said: "After defeating the Qing army, everything can be discussed."

Huang Xiaohu said: "Are you so generous that you are going to give me 1 horses?"

Li Xiucheng smiled and said: "As long as the chairman can repel the Qing army and lift the siege of Tianjing, everything else is negotiable."

Huang Xiaohu looked at Li Xiucheng with a bland smile, and knew that it must not be that simple, but for the time being, he couldn't think of any tricks in the middle, so he secretly reminded himself to be careful in everything.
