    The night sky is deep and far away, a new moon is blooming with cold moonlight, and the rolling water of the Yangtze River is glowing with cool waves under the moonlight.  On the edge of the Yangtze River, under the moonlight, there was a tent with more than 3,000 people, and bonfires were lit. The soldiers inside were all wearing red armor and red scarves, but their faces were full of sadness, and the sounds of long and short sighs came and went.  The moonlight makes people's hearts even colder.

    In the Chinese military camp, Shi Dakai woke up suddenly, his forehead was covered with big beads of sweat, his heart was beating wildly, his breathing was very rapid, and when he turned around, he saw his adopted daughter Han Baoying leaning on the bed, leaning on the bed with one hand, sleeping quietly.  With.  The dim candlelight reflected Han Baoying's delicate face, and her long hair hung down under the red scarf, which made Shi Da sigh happily. She was still so delicate when she fell asleep. I remember she was also like this when he rescued her.  He leaned on his saddle and fell asleep.

    At this time, Shi Dakai thought of Princess Huang and her two children, and his heart was as sharp as a knife. He also thought of his beloved general Zhang Suimou, who was seriously injured, and his heart was broken even more.  He hated himself for being negligent and thinking that Wei Changhui did not dare to do anything to him, which resulted in a catastrophe.  He secretly called his name, Shi Dakai, Shi Dakai, you think you have been leading troops for many years, where are the three strategies and six Taoists?  As the saying goes, "A good man protects three villages, and a good dog protects three neighbors." I, Shi Dakai, can't even protect my children and wife, so what kind of commander-in-chief am I?  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but beat my head with my hands. The more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, and tears fell from my eyes.

    After feeling sad for a while, Shi Dakai slowly stood up, put on his shoes, and put the yellow scarf on his head. Just as he stood up, the noise became louder, and Han Baoying woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes.  He said happily: "Father, are you awake?"

    Shi Dakai hummed and asked in a low voice: "Is there any news from Tianjing?"

    Han Baoying shook his head and said: "No. After Brother Ma took us out of the south gate, we walked straight to the west. Now we have reached the Yangtze River. We will reach Wuhu Camp dozens of miles away. There is no Tianjing along the way.  news."

    Shi Dakai sighed slightly and asked, "Where is Ma Haocheng?"

    Han Baoying said: "He was patrolling the camp outside. He followed our Brother Ma's men, and hundreds of people from the East Palace who were separated along the way followed. Now there are more than 3,000 people following us."

    Shi Dakai adjusted his clothes and asked through gritted teeth: "Is there any news about the princess?"

    Han Baoying lowered her head and said with a miserable expression: "The brothers who came to seek refuge said that hundreds of people in Prince Yi's Mansion were killed by Wei Changhui, a thief."

    Hearing this, Shi Dakai trembled all over, let out a loud hey, and murmured: "Wei Zheng! You are so cruel!" After saying that, he pulled out the sword hanging in the tent with a swipe, and walked out of the tent quickly.  , Han Baoying hurriedly followed.

    Shi Dakai walked out of the camp with a long sword in hand, walked quickly to the center of the camp, and stood still under the apricot-yellow banner of Fengtian Slaying Demons.  Under the light of the bonfire, the Taiping soldiers sitting on the ground in the camp were all stunned, and they all whispered, "It's His Royal Highness King Yi!" "His Royal Highness King Yi is awake!" No one greeted, and more than 3,000 people spontaneously relaxed.  He slowly moved closer to Shi Dakai and formed a circle, quietly waiting for Shi Dakai to speak.  Among them were Han Baoying's female camp soldiers, Shi Dakai's Wing Hall deployment, the remnants of the East Hall, and Ma Haocheng's North Hall soldiers.  Although they did not belong to each other before, now they are gathered together around King Yi.

    Shi Dakai took a deep breath.  He said loudly: "Brothers, something happened in Tianjing. The killings are heavy. The old brothers are dead and scattered. Can you still stick to your beliefs?"

    More than 3,000 people stood quietly, and no one spoke, "I know that at this moment, your hearts must be very messy, very messy. Yes, I am also very messy. I don't understand why my brothers want to kill each other.  Have Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother abandoned us?" After hearing this, some people in the crowd began to cry softly.

    Shi Dakai suddenly pointed his sword at the Fengtian Monster Killing banner behind him and shouted: "Since your faith has been shaken, why do you still hang out this flag?"

    All the soldiers were suddenly startled. They all looked up at the apricot-yellow flag. The words "Fengtian and Kill the Demons" on it seemed to be magical. The sadness in people's eyes slowly disappeared, and the eager eyes began to appear again.  .

    Shi Da said cheerfully: "Until now, I, Shi Dakai, still dare not or forget the oath I made when I started the incident. God gave me a body, and it must have its purpose. I will kill monsters, kill evil and keep the good, and give up my broken body.  Build my country. Have you forgotten this oath?"

    "No!" "I didn't forget!" all the soldiers shouted.

    Shi Dakai said slowly: "Tianjing cannot accommodate us, so we will go elsewhere, continue to search for our heavenly country, continue to eliminate the evildoers in the world, and continue our dream of heaven! Are you willing to follow me, Shi Dakai?"

    "Yes!" The soldiers finally roared, panicking since the Tianjing Incident.The heart was finally suppressed a little. The Taiping King killed the king, but the soldiers at the grassroots level did not know what was going on. Whether they were blindly following, fearful or confused, but at this moment they found their goal again.

    "Okay! Let's continue walking west tomorrow and return to Wuchang. As long as we don't lose our faith, we can rebuild the kingdom of heaven in our minds wherever we go!" Amid cheers, Shi Dakai walked slowly towards the big tent.

    Entering the camp, Han Baoying behind her said happily: "Father, you finally cheered up."

    Shi Dakai turned around and smiled bitterly, and asked: "How many soldiers are there in the army at the moment? How much food and grass are there?"

    Han Baoying lowered her head when she heard this and said, "I have been staying by my adoptive father's side and have no time to inquire."

    At this time, three people walked into the tent, and the first one said: "There are 3,325 male and female soldiers in the camp, with only enough food and grass for three days, more than 50 firearms, and 87 horses.  It¡¯s all our belongings, King Yi.¡±

    Shi Dakai raised his head and looked up, but it was Ma Haocheng. He said with a slightly gloomy face: "Thanks to you, Shi is safe and sound. Aren't you going to go where you should go?"

    Ma Haocheng looked back at the two people following him, clasped his fists towards Shi Dakai and said: "Yi Wang is a great talent, we three brothers have discussed it and plan to follow Yi Wang and start a new career."

    Shi Da opened his eyes and looked up.  There were only two people behind him, one with a face full of flesh and blood.  He was extremely ugly and had a rough expression. He stepped forward, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "I'm Cao Erhu, I'm willing to listen to King Yi's orders!" The sound was like a loud bell, very powerful.

    The other man had a fair complexion, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic expression. He took a step forward and clasped his fists and said, "I am Zhang Wangqi. I am willing to listen to King Yi's orders!" His tone was firm and heroic.

    Shi Dakai returned the salute with clasped fists, looked at Ma Haocheng and asked: "Is this arranged by the King of the West?"

    Ma Haocheng shook his head and said: "No, what King Yi just said is thought-provoking, but the dream of heaven is our lifelong wish. King Yi is kind, and I don't want to leave now. We are willing to follow King Yi."

    Shi Dakai pondered and said: "Do you want to continue working as an undercover agent for the King of the West here in my Wing Palace?"

    Ma Haocheng smiled slightly and said: "The King of the West is still the King of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the King of Wings is still the King of the Wings of the Kingdom of Heaven. How come there is such a thing as undercover plotting? Doesn't King Yi not want someone around him to send a message to the King of the West at any time on behalf of the King of Wings?  What?"

    Shi Dakai was slightly startled and said, "What message do you want to spread?"

    Ma Haocheng clasped his fists and said: "After King Yi returns to Wuchang, he will definitely send all his troops from Hubei and Hunan back to Beijing to kill Wei Changhui. The King of the West also intends to raise troops to return to Beijing. The goals of the two families at the moment are exactly the same. King Yi needs  We brothers are staying here so that we can exchange news with the West Palace."

    After Shi Dakai pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "The King of the West is really planning every step of the way. Even arranging for an undercover agent to be an undercover agent in our army is an open and honest conspiracy. It is impossible to refuse."

    Cao Erhu asked with a voice as loud as a bell: "Can His Royal Highness, King Yi, endure this bad breath from the North Hall?"

    Shi Dakai shook his head and said: "The Kingdom of Heaven is not the Kingdom of Heaven for our family!"

    Zhang Wangqi nodded and said: "King Yi's benevolence is indeed well-deserved, but only by bringing order out of chaos can we save more soldiers and civilians."

    Ma Haocheng also said: "That's right. Could it be that King Yi watched the King of Heaven being killed by King Bei? If King Yi raises an army to serve the king, he must have many followers. This is the time for King Yi to show off his talents."

    Shi Dakai shook his head and said: "Could it be that if I go back to King Qin in Beijing with the King of the West, I must obey the orders of the King of the West? The King of the West wants to subdue my troops and horses in the Wing Palace without any hesitation. Do you think I can't see it?"  Is there any plan to leave the King of the West?"

    Ma Haocheng smiled slightly, gave a thumbs up and said: "As expected of the King of Yi, but this is also the conspiracy of the King of the West. It is true that the King of the West's message to raise troops is already on the way. He called on the King of Yi and Yang Fuqing of Jiangxi to raise troops to serve the king.  Kill the Northern traitor and Zhaoxue for the Eastern King. I think the message will arrive in Wuchang soon. King Yi is also the enemy of the North Palace. Moreover, the Western King is 8,000 years old, and Brother Tian has come down to earth to speak on his behalf. Now that there is no news from Beijing,  The King of Heaven ordered not to leave the capital. If it is true, King Yi should raise troops to avenge hundreds of wronged souls in Prince Yi's Mansion. King Yi should also raise troops to serve the king, rescue the King of Heaven, and support the court. King Yi of King Yi should do the same.  Raised an army."

    Shi Dakai smiled bitterly and said: "The King of the West is indeed very wise and courageous, and he is so skillful in using conspiracy. If I, Shi Dakai, do not respond to the King of the West's instructions and raise an army, I will become a traitor to the Kingdom of Heaven. I will act recklessly without revenge. But if I  I and Yang Fuqing responded to the King of the West's message, that is, they must obey the King of the West. When the several armies joined forces to surround Tianjing, the King of the West used some tactics. I was afraid that the troops of Yang Fuqing and I would fall apart and all of them would surrender.  West Hall.¡±

    Ma Haocheng smiled and said: "We are all the destined kings of heaven, how can we come here?"?Who should I belong to?  Isn't it a bit narrow-minded for King Yi to think this way?  "

    Han Baoying had been listening quietly and suddenly said: "Father, Brother Ma is right. Since the King of the West has raised troops to quell the chaos, we must follow him, otherwise we may not be able to restrain the soldiers and generals below from taking revenge."  Heart."

    Shi Dakai pondered for a long time, and finally sighed slowly and said: "I just hope that the King of the West is not the second King of the East, nor the second King of the North." Then he shouted in a deep voice: "Order all the ministries to prepare breakfast. After you are full,  Go back to the Wuhu camp and use the East Palace navy to rush back to Wuchang as soon as possible!"

    Finally, he looked at Ma Haocheng and the other three and said: "You three, together with the soldiers who escaped from the North Palace, follow me first. I need you to communicate with the King of the West."

    Ma Haocheng and the others bowed and took orders and turned around to leave the tent. After leaving the tent, Ma Haocheng looked back at Shi Dakai who was walking around restlessly in the tent, and thought to himself: "King of Wings, King of Wings, King of the West can't be  The East King will not be the North King, but the most unlikely thing is to be the Wing King. The Wing King looks forward and backward, and it is really difficult to achieve great things in troubled times"
