    After reciting the prayer, Xiao Yungui handed the prayer to Hong Yun'er, who then handed it to the officer to burn the prayer in public. Everyone bowed and kowtowed again and again before getting up.  The officer in charge of the ceremony followed and said loudly: "I respectfully present this prayer, God bless me, my plans will come true, and everything will be successful!"

    All the soldiers and generals stood solemnly, each raised his right arm straight to the sky, and shouted in unison: "Go through fire and water, no matter what! Go through fire and water, no matter what!"

    After Xiao Yungui heard this, he felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his forehead, and his chest was boiling with energy. Could this be the effect of blessing?  It is really exciting. No wonder the Western powers have always had chaplains in their armies.

    After three shouts, the official shouted loudly: "Everyone stands tall and sings praises to our Heavenly Father together!" Then a tune was played, and everyone sang the Trinity Ode to praise God.

    "Praise God as the Heavenly Father, praise Jesus as the Holy Savior, praise the Holy Wind as the Holy Spirit, and praise the three persons as the one true God. Is the true way the same as the worldly way? It can save people's souls and enjoy endless blessings. The wise man is eager to follow it.  For blessings. Fools realize that the road to heaven is open. Heavenly Father¡¯s grace is so vast and boundless that he does not hesitate to send the prince to the mortal world and donate his life to atone for our sins. When people repent, their souls can ascend to heaven!¡± This Trinity hymn is a worship to God.  The church imitated the Trinity hymn sung by the Christian church at that time, modified it with reference to Chinese customs and habits, and created its own style. When everyone sang it, people felt like a spring breeze, and their souls felt a sense of comfort in the pious singing of everyone.  For a moment I seemed to feel fearless.

    After the hymn was sung, several magistrates separated and reasoned with the soldiers and the people as usual, which was the old practice of promoting the doctrine of worshiping God. Xiao Yungui called Shi Dakai to go to the governor's Yamen to discuss military and political affairs, and all the generals followed.

    At this time, Shi Dakai stepped forward and saluted Hong Yun'er respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Queen of the West. The Queen of the West has fought hard while I am enjoying myself in Chenzhou. I am really ashamed."

    Hong Yun'er admired the name of King Yi in her heart and couldn't help but take a closer look at Shi Dakai, only to find that he was handsome. Although his face was dark, there was a hint of Gu Tianle. Hearing him compliment her, she couldn't help but blush slightly.  , smiled sweetly and said: "Thank you, Brother Da. Let's go inside and sit down and talk."

    Xiao Yungui saw this and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, feeling jealous of the boss in his heart. Damn it, this four-eyed girl actually blushed when she saw Shi Da in the meeting. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to this little black face?

    The remaining generals Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xikun, as well as the newly promoted generals such as Lin Qirong, He Bin, Zhou Zhaoyao, Tong Qiangsheng, etc., met with the Yiwang generals and entered the government office together.

    In the lobby of the government office, Xiao Yungui asked Shi Dakai to take the seat on the right, and he took the seat on the left. Hong Yun'er sat beside the King of the West, the generals of the King of the West sat on the left side, and the generals of the King of Yi sat on the right.

    The generals sat down, and after King Xi and King Yi exchanged some polite words with each other, Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "I have been looking forward to it early and late, and finally I am looking forward to the arrival of the brigade. I and my brothers and sisters are really looking forward to seeing it. The government and military affairs of this big city in Changsha are quite complicated.  "More, I am already tired of the troubles. Now that King Yi has arrived, how about I abdicate the throne and let King Yi take care of all the affairs in Changsha?"

    Shi Dakai's face changed slightly when he heard this. He looked at Zhang Suimou, Huang Yukun and others, and saw that all the generals also looked surprised. Obviously, they did not expect Xiao Yungui to say such a thing.

    Shi Dakai hurriedly stood up and bowed with his fists clasped in his hands: "Brother, what you said is to offend your younger brother. When the King of Heaven and the East King came, they ordered Dakai to assist the King of the West. The left army was controlled by the King of the West, and Dakai did not dare to be a master.  Moreover, after entering the city for only a short time, I have already seen that all the soldiers and civilians in the city are praising King Xi, which shows that Brother Xi Wang has great experience in managing this city, and Dakai does not dare to accept orders, for fear of disrupting Brother Xi Wang's deployment."

    Xiao Yungui laughed loudly, stood up and supported Shi Dakai, and said sincerely: "Brother Da, I have spoken seriously. To be honest, I am not good at governing the place and arranging politics and finance. I am a general who looks forward to the stars and the moon."  Come on, it¡¯s known to everyone in the Kingdom that Da¡¯s brother is good at managing money. It¡¯s just right for Da¡¯s brother to take over the government affairs, and I can also free up my hands to concentrate on military affairs.¡± Seeing that Shi Dakai still wanted to speak, Xiao Yungui continued: ¡°Dad¡¯s brother is good at managing money.  Needless to say, since the King of Heaven and the King of the East have ordered Brother Da to be controlled by Brother Yu, then Brother Yu will hand over the burden of government affairs to you, Brother Da, you will not disobey."

    Seeing that Xiao Yungui was disobeying his order, Shi Dakai bowed down and accepted the order: "In this case, I will temporarily take over the government affairs here to share the worries of my brother. I will do my best to handle the government affairs here."

    Xiao Yungui nodded slightly and said with a smile: "That's good. I have ordered Zeng Shuiyuan to prepare the account books. I will arrange for him to explain to Da Compatriot later that the food, grass and clothing needed by the Zuo Army have been prepared. I will prepare them later."  Later, the water source will be handed over together. Brother Da, let¡¯s sit down and continue talking about military affairs.¡±

    After the two of them sat down, Xiao Yungui said again: "When I came, I only had more than 1,800 soldiers and horses. Fortunately, I had many soldiers along the way.??Tiandihui, Paogehui and many common people joined, and the strength was only over 10,000, but there were many new soldiers.  Now, I have dispatched troops to the northeast and south sides of the city to defend according to the danger. I have even rushed to build a pontoon bridge on the Xiangjiang River in order to connect the land of western Hunan. I have sent troops to Yuelu Mountain to guard. I have dispatched troops from all sides. The city is no longer able to divide the troops to garrison. Please also ask  The left army of Da compatriots is guarding the city, and it is enough for me to lead the troops outside to resist the enemy.  "

    Shi Kaida and the generals of the Zuo Army were shocked again. Zhang Suimou squinted his eyes and stood up, clasping his fists and saying: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, as the saying goes, guests do not deceive the host. Our Zuo Army has just arrived. The former army has treated each other well with food and clothing."  How can we let our former army brothers go out of the city to resist the enemy alone?"

    Huang Yukun also stood up and said: "Yes, Your Highness the King of the West, you guys in the front army, we are not here to snatch the credit. We have deep friendship with you in the front army. I deeply appreciate it. If I am asked to wait in the city again to receive blessings, I will only  I'm afraid our subordinates will quit." As soon as the two said this, the generals of the left army stood up and declined.

    Shi Dakai finally stood up and bowed deeply: "Brother Xiwang, I have just arrived with the new army. It is a great virtue to just sit back and enjoy the success. Now that I have not made any achievements, how can I dare to occupy the magpie's nest? If this is the case, I will not dare to enter.  The city is over, now lead the troops out of the city."

    Hong Yun'er on the side smiled brightly and said to Xiao Yungui: "Since Da compatriots and everyone in the Zuo Army have expressed their opinions, I think the soldiers of the Zuo Army do not want to be underestimated, so why not let the Zuo Army send troops to Wujialing in the north to guard the North Road?  , move Lin Qirong and Li Yiwen's troops to the east road to join forces with Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xineng to strengthen the defense on the east. At the same time, the left army still takes care of the city. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for the King of the West to move to consolidate the three southeast and west roads? "

    In fact, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er had already discussed this idea last night. If Shi Dakai and others were unwilling to stay in the city, they would let the left army guard it in the north. After all, according to the original historical context, Dong Wang would suggest continuing to go north, and then  He went eastward along the Yangtze River, heading towards Nanjing, and finally settled in Nanjing.  If the front army led by Xiao Yungui wants to separate from the main force, it must get out of the way to the north. Otherwise, according to the temperament of the East King, the West King will still let the West King lead the front army to continue to lead the battle, so he can only follow the army into Nanjing City.  So after discussing for most of the night, the two decided to retreat in order to occupy the dangerous places in the southeast and southwest. This might give them an advantage. The two also agreed that one would be a good person and the other a bad person. It would be best to let them  Shi Dakai volunteered to guard the north, so that no one could notice that their true intention was to separate from the brigade.

    Sure enough, after Xiao Yungui heard this, he pretended to be angry, snorted heavily, and said coldly: "We and our brothers are talking about military affairs, why do you, a woman, get in the way? Do you think the lesson Heavenly Father gave you last time is still there?"  Isn¡¯t it enough?!¡±

    The King of the West has always disliked the Queen of the West interfering in military affairs. He once asked Heavenly Father to come down to earth to discipline his wife. Shi Dakai and others have long known that, but it seems that the King of the West still does not like the Queen of the West to interfere in politics.

    Hong Yun'er also pretended to be ashamed and angry, and stood up and said sadly: "The troops in the north are thin and mostly new. Brothers Lin Qirong and Li Yiwen are newly promoted generals. In the north of Xiangyin, Zhang Liangji, the new governor of Qingyao, is taking charge.  If you mobilize an army to come, how can you let the north resist?"

    Xiao Yungui was furious, banged the table and shouted: "You don't need to lecture me like a woman. I will strengthen my troops in the north. With the blessing of my heavenly father and brother, why should I be afraid of Qingyao Xiaoxiao? You let Brother Zuojun go to stop Qingyao Fengrui.  Wouldn¡¯t it make people laugh at me, Xiao Chaogui, for trying to harm my brothers?¡±

    Seeing the red-faced and thick-necked couple arguing, all the generals did not dare to speak. Shi Dakai had also seen these two living treasures arguing before, but at the moment, he was the only one qualified to persuade him, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "  King Xi and Queen Xi, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."

    Xiao Yungui glanced at Hong Yun'er bitterly and said, "Sit down, don't say much, and listen to Da Xi's idea."

    Hong Yun'er sat down angrily and turned her head to ignore Xiao Yungui. This was not the first time the two of them had quarreled. Everything seemed so familiar that no one could tell that the two were acting.

    Shi Dakai muttered: "Brother Xi Wang treats us so kindly. The whole Zuo Army is really ashamed. I already know the Xi Wang's good intentions, but as Xi Wang Niang said, the north is also an important place. Qing Yao Governor Zhang Liangji is stationed in Xiangyin.  We are gathering troops and horses to prepare to recapture Changsha. I am willing to lead troops out of the key areas in the north of the town to defend the key passes of Changsha. Our left army has more than 10,000 people. If we leave the north of the town and guard the city at the same time, our strength is more than enough. In fact, just now I just said  I had this intention and wanted to invite myself out of Zhenbei Road, but Xiwang Niang quickly said that she would not do anything to do with Xiwang Niang, so please think twice."

    Xiao Yungui tightened his dark face, glanced at Hong Yun'er angrily and said angrily: "Look at this, your wish has come true."

    Shi Kaida made another request on the third day, and Xiao Yungui had no choice but to agree to the left army leaving the key areas of Wujialing and Liuyang River in the north of the town.

    After discussing the general strategy, everyone discussed some military and political details. Shi Dakai responded to Xiao Yungui's proposal to surrender the flag.He strongly agrees with the punishment of hard labor. He also feels that the killing should not be excessive, but the bannermen cannot be easily let go. The best way is to let them do hard labor for the army.

    Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Xiao Yungui invited the generals to the banquet and arranged for Shi Dakai and others to go to the side hall to freshen up and change clothes. The generals of the Western King also got up and prepared.

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er went back to the bedroom to change their clothes before entering the room. After closing the door, Xiao Yungui couldn't wait to step forward and said angrily: "Four-eyed girl, are you attracted to Shi Da?!"

    Hong Yuner curled her lips and snorted: "I don't know what you are talking about."

    Xiao Yungui said bitterly: "I just saw you blushing and smiling at him."

    Hong Yun'er was secretly amused. It seemed that this man was jealous, so she raised her pretty face and snorted softly: "Yes, I just like him, so what?!"
