    Within the siege array of the Taiping Army outside Suzhou City, under the banner of the Western King, Xiao Yungui slowly put down his monocular telescope and said bitterly: "Zhang Guoliang is full of tricks. Seeing that the city wall was blocked by our army's artillery fire, he simply fired  The city wall is no longer guarded, and all the soldiers and horses on the city have retreated. They will probably rely on the streets and houses in the city to resist our army."

    Zuo Zongtang on the side looked haggard and his eyes were red. He looked like he had not rested well. He hissed: "What the King of the West said is true. Zuo is ashamed. It took a long time and thousands of soldiers died in the battle.  But they still failed to capture Suzhou, and Zuo committed a very serious crime."

    Xiao Yungui waved his hands and consoled him: "Mr. Zuo is serious, Suzhou is a big city in southern Jiangsu, and Qingyao is well prepared. Moreover, Zhang Guoliang, a thief who has fought with our army for many years, knows our army's tactics very well, and is really a powerful enemy.  It is indeed not easy to break through a famous city guarded by strong generals and soldiers in a short period of time. Even if it were me, the king, he would not necessarily do better than Mr The blood debt of the dead and injured brothers, after the city is broken, we will find Zhang Guoliang  This bitch settles the score."

    Zuo Zongtang said bitterly: "This thief is indeed a powerful enemy. All the Neiying brothers we sent into the city were wiped out by him. A few days ago, he executed our Neiying brothers one by one at the top of the city. I will wait and watch at the bottom of the city.  The cracks in the eyes caused our army to attack the city with all its strength, which resulted in heavy casualties. Even after the city is defeated, Zuo will not let this thief go!"

    Xiao Yungui said sadly: "The dead brothers are all glorious. Although they are dead, their spirits are still alive. Traitor lackeys like Zhang Guoliang are alive, but their bodies and spirits are dead. After Sunan is captured,  The king will definitely erect a monument here to pay homage to the brothers who died." At this point, he paused and then said: "Let the artillery team keep firing, and be sure to blow up the city wall. The other gates must guard their camp positions.  Trap Qing Yao. I guess the reinforcements from Ji Wenyuan and Chen Yucheng will arrive tomorrow. By then we will rush into the city with our troops and kill Qing Yao to vent our anger!"

    Zuo Zongtang nodded slowly, and Xiao Yungui said again: "Let's go back to Huqiu Camp first to see the injured brothers there."

    That day, after Xiao Yungui arrived at Xushuguan by water, he ordered Tang Erniu and others to carry supplies. He and Hong Yun'er met with Zuo Zongtang and other generals. After hearing that the war in Suzhou was tragic, Xiao Yungui immediately went to Xushuguan and Wenchang Pavilion.  Visit the injured soldiers at the Taiping Army Camp's Rescue Hall.  When he arrived at Huqiu this time, he didn't have time to visit the wounded soldiers here. Hong Yun'er did not go to the battlefield and went directly to the rescue center of Huqiu Camp. Xiao Yungui also wanted to see the wounded soldiers here.  As comfort.

    At that moment, Zuo Zongtang led the way, and the two of them rushed to the Tiger Hill Camp with a group of guards from the West Palace. When they entered the rescue hall, they heard the roars of a group of wounded soldiers: "Mother of the West,  Let us go to the battlefield. We can't just watch our brothers die while we live in the background!" "Mother of the West, I am blind in one eye, but I can still kill the clear demon!" "We can fight alone.  I¡¯m the only one left, so I should follow my dead brother!¡±

    The Huqiu Rescue Center was set up by Zuo Zongtang in the courtyard of the famous Yunyan Zen Temple in Huqiu. Xiao Yungui stepped into the gate of the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was full of temporary beds for wounded soldiers. There were more than a hundred soldiers who were still able to move.  The wounded soldiers surrounded Hong Yun'er and were begging for battle excitedly.  Xiao Yungui frowned, coughed slightly, and Tang Erniu beside him shouted: "The King of the West is here!"

    Hearing this, all the wounded soldiers looked back and saw that it was indeed the King of the West who had arrived.  One by one they turned around and saluted.

    Xiao Yungui returned the salute in a circle and stepped forward. The wounded soldiers moved out of the way one after another. Looking around, he saw that the wounded soldiers on both sides either had broken hands or missing legs, or were injured on the head, or  There were injuries to the body, and many soldiers were burned.  Xiao Yungui saw this, and his heart was throbbing. He had been injured after time travel, and he knew the pain of injury. The injuries suffered by the soldiers in front of him were probably a hundred times more painful than the injuries he had suffered, but they still tried their best to stand  They straightened their bodies, and when Xiao Yungui passed by, their eyes were full of admiration for King Xi.

    Xiao Yungui only felt that his nose was a little sore. How could he let these people risk their lives to accompany them?  Is this really the elusive and elusive great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty?  At this moment, Xiao Yungui suddenly discovered one thing that he had always thought wrong before, that is, in any era, money may be able to buy people's hearts, but what can make people truly stick together is still the word friendship!  What is love?  Brotherly love, robe love!  What is righteousness?  National justice!  National justice!  The friendship that would be regarded as ridiculous by later generations stirred up Xiao Yungui's mind again in this barbaric era. At this moment, he even felt ashamed of some of his previous thoughts.

    Hong Yun'er walked forward quickly, pulled Xiao Yungui, who was in a daze, and whispered: "Please persuade everyone, they heard that you returned to Suzhou to supervise the battle, and everyone who could move clamored to go to the battle.  .¡±

    Xiao Yungui's throat was choked. He looked up, and his simple faces were full of unyielding pride. What stirred in his eyes was the invincible belief in King Xi.His body stood proudly, and the corners of Xiao Yungui's eyes were moist.

    He quickly walked to the front, clasped his fists and bowed deeply to the wounded soldiers, threatening them to kneel down. Xiao Yungui shouted loudly: "No kneeling! No one is allowed to kneel! You can afford to bow to me."  ! You are the pride of my West Palace, the pride of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the pride of my Han people!"

    As soon as these words came out, all the wounded soldiers began to choke, and many of them burst into tears.

    Xiao Yungui said loudly with wet eyes: "You have shed blood and sweat for the Kingdom of Heaven and the people. The Kingdom of Heaven, the people, and everyone in the West Palace will remember your achievements! At this moment, you must first take care of your injuries and leave a useful body.  In the future, I can also kill Qingyao to avenge my dead brother and Paoze! The rest of the troops are arriving one after another. Brothers, you have done a good job. Let us do the rest! I, Xiao Chaogui, am here to thank you all.  Brothers!¡±

    The hearts of all the wounded soldiers were agitated. They had been bullied by corrupt officials, rich and evil gentry all their lives. They were always inferior in front of others, and they had to bow their backs even when they spoke. When had they ever received such courtesy?  After being stunned for a moment, all the wounded soldiers burst out shouting to the sky, "Long live the Kingdom of Heaven, the King of the West will win! Long live the Kingdom of Heaven, the King of the West will win!"

    Zuo Zongtang in the crowd also had tears in his eyes, and said secretly: "People's hearts can be used, people's hearts can be used." Hong Yun'er looked up at Xiao Yungui. At this time, she felt that Xiao Yungui's image suddenly became taller, and she couldn't help but with tears in her eyes.  Then he shouted loudly.

    After calming down the wounded soldiers, Xiao Yungui checked the items in the rescue hall one by one and told the rescue officers here to take good care of these wounded soldiers.  It is worth mentioning that the monks of Yunyan Temple, these monks have a compassionate mind, and there are also many monks here to help take care of the wounded soldiers of the Taiping Army. Under the influence of Xiao Yungui, the soldiers of the West Palace began to treat the monks, Taoists and Confucians.  Scholars and other figures from all three religions have never been persecuted as in history. Monks and Taoists wherever they went still gave great support to the Taiping Army. However, the Taiping Army did not enter temples and Taoist temples because of their different doctrines.

    The other courtyard of Yunyan Zen Temple was used to entertain pilgrims from far away. It was in a good environment, so Zuo Zongtang borrowed it to house the wounded soldiers. The abbot of the temple was very supportive and even sent a lot of food every day.  Zuo Zongtang also ordered the Taiping Army to pay for the fresh vegetables and fruits produced in the temple fields.  When the monks were taking care of the wounded soldiers, they also kept silent about Buddha's words and phrases that were taboo to the Taiping Army, so there was nothing wrong with the two sides getting along.

    When Xiao Yungui saw this, he was secretly happy. It seemed that his first step in doctrinal reform was effective. He did not want the Taiping Army to turn into a group of paranoid fanatical believers. He also hoped that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would embrace a bigger world.  A tolerant doctrine and country can accommodate more, right?

    In the other courtyard of Yunyan Zen Temple, Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er, Zuo Zongtang and others had lunch with the wounded soldiers. Zuo Zongtang arranged it very well. The meals for the wounded soldiers were better than those for ordinary soldiers.  A lot.  The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always attached great importance to the treatment of wounded soldiers. Their slogan is "Everyone must be safe". The West Palace Army attaches even more importance to this and takes care of the wounded soldiers in every possible way.

    Xiao Yungui knew that only in this way, the soldiers would not have any worries when fighting. In the past, many Qing soldiers were worried that after being injured on the battlefield, they would be abandoned like the Qing army treated wounded soldiers. At this time, it seemed that those who surrendered in Wuxi were included.  Some Qing soldiers no longer had any worries about surrendering their soldiers, and some even joked that they would kill the enemy early, be wounded early, and heal their wounds in the Jingwei Pavilion early.

    Only when an army is repeatedly beaten in blood and fire can it form its own military soul. Xiao Yungui suddenly understood what Liszt said. In order for an army to become a strong soldier, in addition to the gist of the tactics, there are many other things that need to be trained by others.  It can't be taught to you.  An army needs the support of many factors to become a strong army, just like the care and maintenance of wounded soldiers. This is just one link among many factors, including logistics, staff, military merit, training, etc.  After these wounded soldiers recover, they will be the backbone and soul of this army. With them here, the soul of the army will remain.  Xiao Yungui planned to write these valuable experiences into the West Palace Infantry Training Code one by one. The protection of wounded soldiers began to become a very important part of the West Palace Army.

    After lunch, Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er, and Zuo Zongtang checked the preparations of the Huqiu Camp. The artillery team in the front was firing cannons, and the soldiers in the back were busy preparing to attack the city.  After dark, generals Ji Wenyuan, Chen Yucheng and others rushed to Huqiu Camp with more than 10,000 reinforcements to gather together.

    Xiao Yungui took Hong Yun'er, Zuo Zongtang and other generals to catch him. After the meeting, the generals were all overjoyed. After the two armies joined forces, tens of thousands of soldiers cheered and shouted, and the momentum was powerful for hundreds of miles. They trembled and fled in the civil war in Suzhou City.  The Qing troops under artillery fire even heard the cheers of the Taiping troops.  Zhang Guoliang climbed to the top of the Miluo Bao Pavilion in Xuanmiao Temple to watch. He saw the Taiping Army's huge force and its face was earthy. He said slowly: "When the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the time for me to die."(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!</dd>
