    "Aren't you afraid that Qing Yao will treat you as a vulgar joke when you write like this?" Hong Yun'er's soft voice floated in, but her tone was cold. When she looked back, she saw the curtain lifted, and Hong Yun'er  The son limped in slowly.

    She changed into a lake green dress with Suzhou embroidery and lace, and red pants underneath, but she still wore a yellow scarf on her head. Her face was still a little pale, with a hint of anger in it, "Xuanji, you go and accompany me.  Madam Zuo, let me come here."

    Li Xuanji said oh, stood up and saluted Xiao Yungui, lowered her head and hurriedly left.

    Xiao Yungui originally planned to take this opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Li Xuanji and talk about life, but he didn't expect it to be ruined by Hong Yun'er, a girl with four eyes.

    "What do you mean?" Xiao Yungui sat down angrily. Hong Yun'er rolled her eyes at him, sat down behind the desk, picked up her pen and said, "Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passersby. What bad idea do you have?"  , do you think you can hide it from me?"

    Xiao Yungui's anger surged, and he said bitterly: "I was just afraid that you were still angry and refused to help, so I asked Miss Xuanji to write for me. I haven't done anything here yet, and you are just thinking wildly. Am I really that bad? Hong  Yun'er, let me tell you, now that I am the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I have the final say on who I want to be close to and who I want to accept as my queen. You have no control over it. Do you really think you are my wife?  "

    Hong Yun'er became angry and said coldly: "What we are doing now is to lose our heads. If you don't put your mind on big things and think about these dirty things all day long, do you think you have a long life?"  ?¡±

    Xiao Yungui snorted angrily and said: "I have been very restrained. You know how many girlfriends I had in the past. It can be said that I have sex with women every day. Since time travel, I have not touched a woman for so many days. I originally wanted to  Xiao Chaogui also has a wife, and I never expected that she would be like you, who can only look at her but not move, do you understand my pain?"

    Hong Yun'er's face turned red and she spat: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me write the letter to Zhang Liangji for you." After saying this, she picked up her ink and pen, pretending not to understand.

    Xiao Yungui let out a laugh. Women are indeed very unreasonable creatures, and sometimes they can pretend to be confused. He didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. He muttered: "This letter of war is written to Zhang Liangji. This is what I think.  In the War Letter, we put more pressure on the Qing army, creating the illusion that we are about to move north in the near future, so that they can restrain themselves and not dare to go south to use troops. While the Qing army is afraid to go south, we set out to clean up the local regiment training in the south of Xiangyin.  At the same time, we recruited people to harvest the autumn grain, and collected all the grain south of Xiangyin and north of Changsha into our treasury, leaving not a grain of grain for the Qing army."

    Seeing that he was no longer entangled in the matter, Hong Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This method is good, but we still need to deploy some troops south of Xiangyin to put pressure on the Qing army."

    Xiao Yungui walked a few steps with his hands behind his back: "I plan to let Li Xiucheng, also known as Li Yiwen, lead 800 people to stay, while dismantling local regiment training, grabbing food, and at the same time putting pressure on the Qing army in Xiangyin. Li Xiucheng's talent  You and I both know that if we give him a chance to practice now, he will definitely do well. Hu Linyi is currently in charge of the Qing army, and the Chenzhou brigade on my side will arrive in a few days, so I really can¡¯t separate myself from him.  Zhou Xuan, after much deliberation, he could only keep Li Yiwen, and he could barely be Hu Linyi's opponent."

    Hong Yun'er nodded in agreement: "Li Xiucheng is cautious and quick-witted, but he needs more training opportunities as a leader to grow up as soon as possible and become an independent figure. This arrangement is good."

    Xiao Yungui said with a big smile: "That's why I want to scare Zhang Liangji, so that Li Xiucheng can act with less pressure." At this point, he paused and said: "There is one more thing to say in the content of the letter.  The original governor Luo Bingzhang and the chief envoy Weng Tongjue were imprisoned in Changsha and told Zhang Liangji to redeem these two rice bugs with silver taels, because I don't have idle people here."

    Hong Yun'er said with a smile: "This deal can be done. We can make Zhang Liangji difficult for once and see if he will save his colleagues or how much silver he is willing to use to redeem them."

    The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if the storm had passed. Xiao Yungui said calmly: "Yun'er, to be honest, it's good when you don't go against me."

    Hong Yun'er picked up the pen and started writing. As she wrote, she said: "I am against you all for your own good. Do you remember the Tetris you played when you were a child? This game tells us that the accumulation of small mistakes will lead people to a dead end.  Yes. If you sincerely just want to take advantage of others, there will be no good results in the end."

    Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "I don't think so. The human community has stipulated many morals and rules that restrict our behavior. If you want to be recognized by others, you only need to do the same as others. But according to the law of survival of the fittest, the last among human beings  Standing on top of the pyramidThese people are destined to be only a few people who are different. These people are either wise and selfless like the saints in ancient times, or they are as talented and unscrupulous as Qin Shihuang.  I can't be a saint, and you don't expect me to be one either.  "

    Hong Yun'er laughed dumbly and said: "I didn't expect that a rich second-generation young master like you would have such a profound understanding."

    ?????

    Hong Yun'er nodded and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Yes, the nouveau riche vulgarity is stronger in you. Many rich second generations have received higher education, and you can't compare."

    Xiao Yungui looked indifferent: "Whatever you say, I have seen all the history of my father's fortune. He is an out-and-out profit person, although I hate this kind of thing.  , but I have to say that this is the simplest and most effective way. I have never seen anyone who does things without considering interests, and I have no idea how much the sincerity you are talking about is worth."

    Hong Yun'er looked at Xiao Yungui speechlessly and said word by word: "Just wait, one day you will see such a person. No wonder some people say that we are the beat generation, not that our bodies are  No, but mentally and spiritually there is no trace of the benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust of the ancient Han people."

    Xiao Yungui also wanted to retort, but suddenly a guard outside the tent reported loudly: "Your Highness the King of the West, General Li is back. Our army in Jinlong Town was defeated. Hu Luxue died in the battle, Li Zuoche was seriously injured, and only five hundred people came back."  There were less than two hundred people."

    "What?!" Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er were shocked. They hurried out of the tent and saw Li Yiwen's men returning to the camp with the defeated male and female soldiers.

    What came into view were faces covered with mud and blood, their uniforms were in tatters, and the broken flags were stained with blood, but what was imprinted in the eardrums were the screams of the injured soldiers.

    Xiao Yungui opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. Hong Yun'er had already burst into tears and rushed forward to help rescue the wounded soldiers.

    Li Yiwen came to Xiao Yungui and said with a heavy face: "King Xi, when I arrived with my troops, the Qing army had already retreated. Li Zuoche led his troops to block the Qing army in Jinlong Town, and there were only less than two hundred people left.  There are more female soldiers left, there are more than 120, while there are only fifty-seven male soldiers left."

    "The dog is a demon!" Xiao Yungui couldn't help roaring, pulled out a long knife and stabbed it into the soil, then squatted down and couldn't help but shed tears.  He couldn't control his emotions at this moment. He didn't want to lose his temper like this, but something seemed to be blocked in his chest, and he seemed unhappy if he didn't yell loudly.

    After calming down for a while, Xiao Yungui followed Li Yiwen to visit the wounded soldiers.  Li Zuoche was seriously injured, with several deep stab wounds on his body and a lot of blood loss. He didn't know if he could survive the night.  Many of the remaining wounded soldiers were injured by Miao soldiers' powerful crossbows and spears. Most of these sharp weapons were poisoned. Wounded soldiers with injuries to the trunk could only wait to die slowly, and those with injuries to the limbs had to have their limbs amputated.  For a time, the camp was filled with miserable howls and screams of pain, which made people shudder.

    Li Yiwen came up and said, "His Royal Highness the King of the West, during this march, we intercepted more than a dozen boxes of tobacco at Chatingpu. Should we distribute some to the wounded to relieve their pain?"

    Xiao Yungui knew that the tobacco Li Yiwen was talking about was opium paste, and smoking was always prohibited in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. But now that these wounded soldiers were in so much pain, it seemed that they could only use opium paste to relieve the pain, so that those who were seriously injured could not leave.  So hard.

    "Let someone take care of this matter, but others are not allowed to smoke. Well, from now on, let all the military rescue officers prepare some smoke for the seriously ill and injured, but try not to use it for the lightly injured." Xiao Yungui said feebly.  Waving his hand, opium did have medicinal value. It was originally a drug such as narcotics. When someone was injured on the battlefield in this era of mixed hot and cold weapons, the pain was so painful that it could kill someone, so there was nothing wrong with giving opium to the wounded soldiers.

    After Li Yiwen ordered his subordinates to get opium for the wounded soldiers, he came to Xiao Yungui again and saw him squatting on the ground, looking at the soil on the ground in a daze. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, we are  Aren¡¯t you going to march into the army tomorrow morning to take revenge?!¡±

    Xiao Yungui took a deep breath and said, "You said Qing Yao will retreat immediately when he sees you?"

    Li Yiwen nodded, Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "Qingyao's leader is Hu Linyi, the prefect of Liping, Guizhou. Although this man has not fought with our Taiping, he has been fighting against the Miao people in Guizhou for many years. His pharaoh's way of using soldiers must be  Guessing that we will lead our troops north to retaliate tomorrow, we may have laid out an ambush to ambush us. Do you think that if you were Hu Linyi, after you severely wounded the enemy, would you guard against the enemy's retaliation?"

    Li Yiwen said thoughtfully: "The demon did not engage me and retreated calmly, which is indeed very suspicious. My younger brother has sent people to investigate. If the Qingyao's arrangement in Yuanjiapu is rigorous, it means that Hu Linyi is playing tricks and bluffing, and there must be no ambush. If it is Yuanjiapu  The Qing army looked slack, just trying to lure our army to retaliate, and there must be a large army ambushing them afterwards.  "

    Xiao Yungui hummed and said: "This is what is true in the art of war, and what is false is true. We will decide how to act after your scouts come back. My letter of challenge will also be slightly revised, Hu Linyi  This person cannot be let go so easily. If Qingyao is really unprepared, I will definitely lead my troops to kill him tomorrow!"
