    Although Shi Da was still dubious in his heart, he could not refute King Xi's words at this moment. The fratricidal events in Tianjing Incident had greatly damaged the vitality of the Kingdom of Heaven. If King Qin's battle against traitors were to bleed again, the Kingdom of Heaven would be even weaker.  , Wei Zhijun in Huaishang was more likely to defect to the Manchus than Yang Fuqing.

    Shi Dakai didn¡¯t say anything at the moment. It didn¡¯t matter that the dignified King Yi had to endure a little grievance for the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven. After all, the grievances had their owners and the debts had their owners. His biggest enemy was Wei Changhui. After all, the other soldiers in the North Palace were also innocent.

    After thinking about this, Shi Dakai no longer bothered about entering the army immediately, and instead discussed how to disintegrate the Beidian Army in the city. He believed that as long as King Qin's army attacked and only asked for the first offender and not the subordinates, the middle and lower-ranking generals of the Beidian Army would lead their troops to surrender.  The probability will be very high, and at worst, they will defect during the actual attack on the city.

    King Xi did not refute what King Yi said this time. When King Yi talked about so-and-so among his men and so-and-so from the North Hall, and when they could win over each other, King Xi would always take note of them.

    After discussing for a while, Shi Dakai suddenly mentioned the shortage of food in the army and wanted to borrow a batch of food and grass for emergency response.  Without blinking, Xiao Yungui ordered people to invite Zuo Zongtang and asked him to allocate a batch of grain and grass to Dasheng Pass for the Yidian soldiers and horses.

    Shi Dakai was overjoyed immediately. He must have known that without food, troops cannot be gathered. If the King of the West took advantage of the lack of food in the Wing Palace to poach him, although Shi Dakai could guarantee that his veterans of the Wing Palace would not fall to the West King, he could not guarantee that the newly attached East Palace would join him.  The soldiers and horses in Hebei Palace will not defect to the King of the West.  Did you guess wrong?  King Xi is really a man who is upright and upright, with only the kingdom of heaven in his heart and no selfish thoughts at all?

    Until he walked out of the Xiaoling Guard Camp in the West Hall unobstructed, Shi Dakaiwu never understood the true face of the King of the West. He seemed to be talking to himself while riding on the horse.  He also seemed to be asking Zhang Suimou: "Is it really for the Kingdom of Heaven that the King of the West raised his troops this time?"

    Zhang Suimou's face was still solemn, he frowned and said: "You can't tell anything now, but you will know when you enter Tianjing City. If he is willing to obey the orders of the King of Heaven, it means that he is still the Western King of Heaven. Otherwise, he is the second Eastern King."  Wang Yang Xiuqing.¡±

    Shi Dakai sighed softly and said: "Suimou. Whose fault do you think it is to get to this point?"

    Zhang Suimou was speechless for a while, and Shi Dakai then slowly said: "Is Dong Wang at fault? He helped the Kingdom of Heaven conquer such a huge country. Without Dong Wang, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to get out of Guangxi. Is Wei Changhui at fault?"  Changing places, maybe I can only be forced to kill people. The King of the West is not wrong. He did not get involved from the beginning to the end. And me? Where did I go wrong? The mistake was not being decisive at the beginning.  To stop Wei Changhui?"

    Zhang Suimou said: "It is the King of the North who has a bad heart and turned grass into a monster, and it has nothing to do with His Highness. Perhaps the biggest fault is the King of Heaven. If he hadn't ignored military affairs all year round, why would the King of the East be like this? If it hadn't been for him  If you don't know who is employed, why would you go to the North Hall to kill people like crazy? If it weren't for him"

    Shi Dakai was suddenly stunned.  Then he raised his hand and stopped and said: "Maybe the King of Heaven is really wrong, but we just know these words well and don't need to say it clearly." Then Shi Dakai stared at Tianjing City in the distance and sighed softly: "Recalling the time when Jintian Village raised troops,  It¡¯s so satisfying for all of us to share the joys and sorrows together and kill Qing Yao, but we didn¡¯t expect that many brothers died not at the hands of Qing Yao, but at the hands of one of our own people.¡±

    Zhang Suimou suddenly said: "Perhaps this is what the West Palace Army said. This is the test given to us by Heavenly Father God."

    Shi Dakai gave a bitter smile, nodded slowly and said: "It is indeed a test given to us by Heavenly Father and God. After we go back, we should share with everyone what we heard in the West Palace. Many brothers actually still have doubts"

    At the gate of the camp, watching Shi Dakai and his party walking further and further away, a smile appeared on Xiao Yungui's face, and he turned back to Zuo Zongtang and said: "Tomorrow when the soldiers and horses from Yidian come to move food and grass, they can tell the news  Revealed to the Citizen Soldiers of Yang Fuqing¡¯s Department.¡±

    Zuo Zongtang nodded slightly and said: "When Yang Fuqing's troops came this time, they didn't have enough food and grass. That group of Citizen Soldiers couldn't get rid of Jianghu habits, and they were very unwelcome to the regular Eastern Palace Army of Yang Fuqing's troops. They were given very little food and grass. When they arrived in Chun  After being transformed, this group of Citizen soldiers went around robbing homes for food. They were just like a group of hungry bandits. If they knew that such a batch of food and grass was being transported to Dasheng Pass, they would definitely rob it on the way."

    Xiao Yungui laughed sinisterly and said in a low voice: "Yang Fuqing's Citizen Soldiers robbed King Yi's food and grass. The two families might fight each other, and they would no longer be able to get together, and we would have a name."  , we can justifiably get rid of this group of bandit-like Citizen Soldiers. Yang Fuqing couldn't fight against Shi Dakai, so he had no choice but to surrender to us, killing two birds with one stone." After saying that, the two of them laughed together.

    This Citizen Soldier under Yang Fuqing is one of the Tiandihui troops who moved to Jiangxi after the failure of the Guangdong Uprising last year.  After being unable to attack Guangzhou for a long time, Chen Kai and others led most of the Tiandihui to attack Guangzhou.The troops fled to Fujian and went to the West Palace. One of the Tiandihui rebels, known as one hundred thousand troops, led by Chen Rong, Deng Xiang, Lu Wei, Tan Xing, Tan Fu, etc., took the road from Chaling to Yongxin,  Anfu, Fenyi, and Wanzai went north to Jiangxi and other places for activities. In the autumn of this year, due to the oppression of the Hunan Army and Jiang Zhongyuan's troops, the Taiping Army Yang Fuqing's troops came to Changsha from Nanchang Third Road to rescue Changsha. On October 19 of that year, the two armies stopped at Wan  After joining forces, the name "Citi" appeared soon after. Since then, "Citi" has become the exclusive designation of this Tiandi Hui force that originated in Guangdong and was organized into the Taiping Army in Jiangxi.

    But because this Citi Army was attached to the establishment, Yang Fuqing had no time to rectify it. Most of the Tiandihui rebels were people with strong gangster habits. Over time, their banditry became more serious. From the beginning of deception to open robbery later.  Just when Yang Fuqing was planning to impose strict punishments, he did not expect that the Tianjing Incident occurred, and then Yang Fuqing had to temporarily give up the idea of ??reorganization.  Later, when he joined the Qinwang in Beijing, Yang Fuqing was worried that sooner or later this Citigroup army would cause trouble if it stayed in Jiangxi and would threaten his future, so he brought 30,000 Citigroup soldiers with him.

    These Citizen soldiers were originally said to number one hundred thousand, but they included the old, weak, women and children. After returning to the Taiping Army, only 30,000 soldiers were left to use, so the number was greatly reduced. The remaining old, weak, women and children stayed in Jiangxi to work in the fields.

    Because the Citi Army did not come from the orthodox Taiping Army, they were looked down upon in the East Palace Army. They often received the least and worst food, grass and supplies. It became even worse after they left Jiangxi.  Yang Fuqing's army was also short of food and grass, so the Citi Army had very little food and grass, so the Citi Army began to buy food from everywhere and get food and grass themselves.

    Yidian was better off with food, and finally bought it with money. If he didn't have it, he wrote an IOU. The people near Tianjing, the name of King Yi, still bought it.  The Citizen Soldiers had no choice but to grab them. Yesterday, the West Palace Army took down a Citizen Army of more than 300 people. However, there were 30,000 Citizen Soldiers near Tianjing, so Xiao Yungui thought of taking advantage of this opportunity.  Kill two birds with one stone.

    After returning to Dasheng Pass, Shi Dakai immediately ordered people to prepare and sent Shi Zhenji to lead 2,000 men and horses to the West Hall Camp early the next morning to collect grain and grass.

    Early the next morning, Shi Zhenji led 2,000 troops to the West Hall camp to collect food and grass. The people in the West Hall were extremely enthusiastic, allowing Shi Zhenji and others to feel the enthusiasm of the brothers' troops. When the West Hall general asked if he needed to send troops to escort  At that time, Shi Zhenji refused without thinking.  This is near Tianjing, the hinterland of the Kingdom of Heaven. There are no clear demons. Even the North Palace Army has retreated into the city. Why send more troops to escort?  In fact, Shi Zhenji was still worried that if he had too much contact with those strangely dressed West Palace soldiers, his soldiers would have other thoughts.

    After leaving the Xiaolingwei camp, we traveled more than twenty miles. Unexpectedly, several groups of people emerged from the woods in front of us. There were tens of thousands of people, but they did not display any banners. The leader was a big man with a red scarf on his head.  , shouted and ordered the Yidian army to put down their food and leave.

    Shi Zhenji was furious and stepped forward to ask questions. The big man was very anxious and seemed to be afraid that the Yidian army would come near Dasheng Pass. He whistled and more than ten thousand people rushed forward to grab the food.

    Shi Zhenji was furious and ordered his men to protect the food. After the two groups crowded together, they started fighting and then using knives. Soon they started fighting in the chaos.  Although the Yidian soldiers were elite, their numbers were small after all. The group was even more hungry and desperate to grab food. The Yidian soldiers could not stop them, so they had to retreat with the injured.  The group of people grabbed the food, collected the bodies, and quickly retreated.

    After Shi Zhenji fled back to Dasheng Pass to report to Shi Da, Shi Dakai was furious and immediately ordered his troops and horses to bring Shi Zhenji over. However, when they reached the place where they were robbing grain, all the people had left.  Shi Dakai was still angry, so he led his soldiers and horses to search privately, and finally found a few lone men. After questioning, he found out that it was the Citi Army of Yang Fuqing's department who was robbing the food.

    Immediately Shi Dakai came to Chunhua with his troops and horses to ask for food and grass, and also asked Yang Fuqing to give an explanation.

    But he said that Yang Fuqing led his troops to Chunhua. He had no choice but to come here, and he was always worried that the King of Heaven would hold the East Palace responsible, and he was even more worried that the King of the West would annex his troops, so he kept hiding in the two palaces.  After passing the troops, he planned to retreat and return to Jiangxi to become his own emperor as soon as the momentum was not good.

    Yang Fuqing had enough food and grass for this expedition, and Jiangxi was prosperous, and several counties in the north also had enough food and grass. However, they did not expect that after the army arrived in Chunhua, the granary caught fire for no reason. Although the rescue was timely, a lot was still lost.  forage.

    Later, Yang Fuqing reduced the rations of the Citi Army to ensure that his trusted soldiers and horses had food and grass. However, Yang Fuqing of the Citi Army agreed that they would get food everywhere. Anyway, this is the outskirts of Tianjing and not the land of Jiangxi. If you rob it, you will rob it.  That¡¯s it.

    When Shi Da came with his troops and horses, Yang Fuqing got the news from the spies. At first, he thought that Shi Da was coming to kill, and hurriedly ordered his troops to prepare for the enemy. Later, he realized that it was his Citi Army who was snatching the enemy.The food and fodder of King Yi!

    Yang Fuqing cursed in his heart that gang of gangsters, the Citi Army, who were so courageous that they actually managed to take over King Yi, but he had no choice but to go and meet King Yi.
