    In the inner hall of the government office, Xiao Yungui said happily: "We might as well go all the way east along the river and fight towards Jinling. If the Qing army is attacked from behind, they will definitely send troops to the east to help, so that the pressure on Changsha will be weakened."

    Hong Yuner looked at Xiao Yungui in surprise and said, "When did you become so brave and selfless?"

    Xiao Yungui touched his chin and smiled evilly: "If I say this, the Eastern King will agree to my leading the expedition. If we go to Jinling, we can have our own territory, separate from the center of the Kingdom of Heaven. It will be much more fun to make our own decisions."

    Hong Yun'er nodded and said: "That's true. To march eastward along the Yangtze River to Jinling, you can refer to the marching route of the Taiping Army in history." Then she shook her head and said, "No, if you want to attack Jinling, the King of Heaven and the King of the East will suspect you.  Those who are disloyal.¡±

    Xiao Yungui pondered and said: "Then we attack Yuezhou first, wait until we reach Yuezhou, and then suddenly lead the army to march eastward and take Jinling directly. At that time, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and they can't control us."

    While they were talking, Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing brought the pasta. Xiao Yungui had been on the road for a long time and was really hungry, so he wolfed it down.

    After just two bites, he heard a commotion outside the government office, including many women's voices. Xiao Yungui asked strangely: "What's going on outside? Why are there so many women's voices?"

    Hong Yun'er, Li Xuanji and Yang Dongqing's faces turned slightly red, with anger and disdain rising in their faces. Hong Yun'er snorted heavily and said in an extremely angry tone: "It's so annoying to say it. These days,  , all the soldiers and horses are fighting exhaustingly outside, but the King of Heaven and the King of East let the women of the people gather to the North School Field to listen to the truth. In fact, they are selecting beauties to enter the Palace of the Heaven and the East. In the past few days, they have selected two batches of women.  There are already hundreds of people there, but it¡¯s still not enough, so we have to choose again today, it¡¯s really shameless!¡±

    The chopsticks in Xiao Yungui's hand stopped in mid-air, and he was secretly angry in his heart. He didn't even call him a brother for doing such a good deed. He was really not enough of a brother.  But this year passed by in a flash, and I felt uneasy in my heart. Before even a third of an acre of land was acquired, the King of Heaven and the King of East were busy doing beauty pageants. Is this appropriate?  Tens of thousands of soldiers in the front are fighting bloody battles, but behind them they are enjoying tenderness. Won't this chill the morale of the military?  If the people in the city want to sacrifice their daughters and sisters, won¡¯t the people¡¯s support be greatly damaged?

    Hong Yun'er then said bitterly: "You asked me to take the female battalion soldiers and horses to summon the women of the people. I will not do this dirty work. The King of Heaven sent Su Sanniang. I will go to the King of Heaven and King Dong to tell them.  After waiting for a long time, I persuaded them to take back their lives, but they were kicked out. I was really angry. If I can follow you, I will take Jinxiu Camp and go with you immediately. I don¡¯t want to stay here and suffer!"

    Xiao Yungui ate big mouthfuls and responded vaguely. He had no intention of saying anything to Hong Yun'er. Talking about this matter would get him burned, and he couldn't lose his prestige in front of the three Hong Yun'er girls.  It wouldn't be good if you didn't do what you said, so I just didn't say anything and just waited until I went to see Dong Wang to ask for clarification.

    After eating, Xiao Yungui went straight to Dongwang Mansion.  When we arrived outside the Dongwang Mansion, we saw that the East Palace here was heavily guarded, and eight cannons were fired at the door, which was very powerful.  When the counselor of the East Palace saw the arrival of the Western King, he hurriedly ordered people to go in and report. After a while, Zeng Shuiyuan, a bookkeeper from the East Palace, came out to greet him.

    "The King of the West came back in a hurry and I was not ready to welcome him. Please forgive me." Zeng Shuiyuan stepped forward and knelt down and saluted.

    ??????

    We arrived at the lobby of the East Palace after a long journey. This place was originally the home of He Yuan, a wealthy family in Changsha, but now it is the residence of the East Palace, which is quite spacious.

    There are dozens of desks in the lobby. All the civil and military officers in the east hall are sitting in the hall. Yang Xiuqing's large desk is placed in the middle. The bank is filled with various documents. Because he has limited literacy, many documents are read on his behalf.  Write and issue licenses on your behalf.

    Seeing King Xi striding in, all the civil and military officials in the hall stood up to greet him. Yang Xiuqing was overjoyed to see him back and ordered everyone to continue handling military and political affairs. She took Xiao Yungui's hand and went to the study alone to talk.

    In the study, Yang Xiuqing ordered someone to serve tea and asked hurriedly: "Are you back first?"

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "The army is still behind. I will come back first after receiving the order. Are the Qingyao rampant on the North Road?"

    Yang Xiuqing's face was still stern, and he said slowly: "Zhang Liangji has gathered more than 6,000 troops to occupy the dangerous position on the north bank of the Liuyang River. He cannot hold on and is encroaching step by step. He intends to develop towards Liuyang. He must want to regain Liuyang and gradually  It is connected to the Liling Qingyao in the south. Moreover, reinforcements from Jiangbei Qingyao are still coming one after another. I heard that Hubei Admiral Shuangfu will lead 3,000 troops to Xiangyin in the near future. Now the north road is completely blocked, and the situation is not optimistic. "

    Xiao Yungui was already confident and said hurriedly: "Fourth brother,Since the ?? demon is approaching Changsha, we cannot fight against the Qing Yao if we defeat the enemy on the north road. Otherwise, like the Battle of Yong'an, it will turn into a battle with the Qing Yao to seize the key fortress. We have limited money and food, and we will eventually be unable to defeat the Qing Yao, so we have to  Don't let the city go.  The younger brother thought that if he crossed the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, mobilized the newly built water camp to attack Yuezhou behind Qingyao, and influenced Qingyao to return to the defense, and looked for opportunities to defeat Qingyao on the way, the siege of Changsha could be solved without a fight.  Even if Qingyao fights to the death, their strength can still be divided. After Dabi conquers Liling, they can send their troops north to break through the Qingyao camp.  "

    Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment and said: "The West Palace soldiers go north and jump behind Qingyao to fight. This is a great way. If we attack Yuezhou Qingyao, they are worried that we will divide our troops into Hubei Province. The Hubei soldiers will definitely be recalled by Chang Dachun, the governor of Hubei Province, Qingyao. Double blessings for Hubei  Admiral, we will definitely return to block the defense. As long as the Qing army is loose, we will have a chance. But now there is a man named Peng Yulin next to Zhang Liangji, who seems to be very strategic. I wonder if you can see this plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

    Xiao Yungui rolled his eyes and hurriedly suggested: "Don't worry, King Dong. If the Qingyao in Yuezhou is unmoved, I will directly send troops to attack Hankou, Hanyang, or even Wuchang. Chang Dachun and Shuangfu have the responsibility to guard Hubei.  My little brother doesn¡¯t believe that they can¡¯t return to the division for rescue.¡±

    Yang Xiuqing groaned and said in deep thought: "Attacking Wuchang?" Then he looked up at Xiao Yungui and said in a confused way: "You might as well lead the troops outside, so as not to be caught in the middle and make it difficult to be a good person."

    Xiao Yungui didn't know what Yang Xiuqing meant, so he could only laugh twice, but he heard that Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan were having another argument.

    Just listen to Yang Xiuqing continue to say: "The King of Heaven recently selected some women to serve as female officials in the Palace of Heaven. You know that our Kingdom of Heaven does not use eunuchs. The Queen of Heaven needs someone to take care of her, so she planned to select a few women to serve as female officials in the Palace, but  Some villains misinterpreted the meaning of the King of Heaven and me, causing the whole city's women to panic. The King of Heaven protected those people, so he took advantage of the situation and laughed. Even I, the King, packed dozens of them here. You are the same as King Bei, Da Xi and other people in the house.  Originally, there were dozens of girls sent there, but you were not here. I was worried that Xuanjiao would be jealous, so I didn¡¯t send them. They were all kept here by me. You can go and see if you like the one you like.  Mother, please don¡¯t abuse this girl. The dozens of people here have already left. If you don¡¯t like them, just let them go home.¡±

    Xiao Yungui was overjoyed. It turned out that Yang Xiuqing still thought of him and left a share for himself. But then he thought about it, he was about to go on an expedition, and he had no time to enjoy the gentle countryside, so he had to hold it back, clasping his fists and saying:  "Fourth brother's kindness, I appreciate it. The expedition is about to begin, and I don't want to be distracted. I'd better ask fourth brother to help me get rid of all these women." Then Xiao Yungui whispered again: "Fourth brother, you shouldn't say anything.  If so, it seems that now is not the time to do these things.¡±

    Yang Xiuqing's stern face sank and said: "Why don't I know? But the King of Heaven insists on doing this. Do you want me to ask Heavenly Father to come down to earth for these trivial things? Now that the enemy is facing us, let's give in if we can."

    Xiao Yungui heard that Yang Xiuqing seemed to have compelling reasons. He used Heavenly Father to persuade him too much, but the Heavenly King did not like it. In the past, Xiao Chaogui often used Heavenly Brother to come down to earth to persuade, but the Heavenly King still went his own way.

    Yang Xiuqing then sighed softly and said: "Agui, you go, the further away the better. I can deal with it alone here. There are too many people involved. The king of heaven needs to look bad. Is there any crime or fault?  I can take the responsibility alone, and you can lead the troops to fight. I will take care of these dirty things in the court. In addition to Shuiying, you can also take Jinxiu Camp with you. Xuanjiao will stay in the city for a while.  , sooner or later something will happen, and it will be fine in your army, and I won¡¯t be out of sight and out of mind. However, your children can¡¯t go with you. The King of Heaven will always give him an explanation, and he won¡¯t trust you to take your family with you.  Let¡¯s go.¡±

    Xiao Yungui was so frightened that he was sweating. Yang Xiuqing seemed to have read through his thoughts. He asked Hong Xuanjiao to go to war with the army, but he wanted to keep his family behind. It was obvious that he still wanted to monitor the Xiao family, the Jiang family, and the Huang family.  All of a sudden, Kouzi became a hostage, and even Xiao Youhe became a hostage. If there were no hostages, it seemed that neither the King of Heaven nor Yang Xiuqing would be able to trust him to lead the expedition.

    For a moment, Xiao Yungui gritted his teeth and said, "I know, I just want all the kids to stay." It's a blessing to be able to leave. It can't be perfect. There will always be a way for the kids to take over in the future. Even if they can't, Xiao Yungui  He also felt that it didn't matter. Anyway, these people didn't have any affection for him. They were just his physical relatives and had nothing to do with him. As long as Hong Yun'er was not left behind.

    No matter whether it is the King of Heaven or the King of the East, neither of them will object too much to the fact that the King of the West has left. As long as they have important hostages like Xiao Youhe in their hands, they both believe that the King of the West will not rebel.  Once the king of the west, the heavenly brother, left, the king of the east was able to cover up the sky with one word in the center.  The King of Heaven is considered one less threat. Although King Dong is still there, after all, it is better to deal with one person than toStrong against two people.

    Looking at Yang Xiuqing's stern face, Xiao Yungui didn't know if his true thoughts were what he said, that he wanted to leave the center to avoid trouble, or if he wanted to monopolize power. But for now, Yang Xiuqing still treated him like a brother.  , many things Yang Xiuqing could only say in front of him.

    When he walked out of the study, Xiao Yungui looked back at Yang Xiuqing and thought to himself, thank you very much, brother Dongwang. I don¡¯t know when we will see each other again in the future. I hope you can speak openly and honestly like this next time we meet.
