In the lobby of Liling County Government, after Zhou Zhaoyao introduced He Bin, the rudder leader of the Liling Pao Brothers Association, to Xiao Yungui, He Bin stepped forward and knelt on one knee to the ground and shouted: "The Prince of the West is here, please be bowed by the villain. If it weren't for the help of the noble army, the villain and his brothers would probably die in prison. The villain is willing to bring more than a thousand brothers under his command. I wonder if the Prince of the West is willing to accept it?"

Xiao Yungui was both surprised and happy. He didn't expect that he had no intention of planting willows and someone came to surrender. Could it be that he really had a great fortune? Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, there were gangs everywhere, and there were thousands of people who could do it at will. Wouldn't it be easy to gather people to rebel?

At that moment, Xiao Yungui laughed and helped He Bin up. Although he was short, he looked very smart. Seeing his eyes flashing, Xiao Yungui suddenly realized that He Bin and these robed brothers were arrested in prison by the Qing Yao official. Now that he escaped from prison, he was desperate and could only surrender to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was in full swing. Thousands of people were just He Bin as his capital for his entry.

Since they were all taking their needs, Xiao Yungui was not polite. He immediately comforted him with kind words and expressed his willingness to accept the Thousand-Bao Brothers' Association. He then asked Tang Erniu to take them down to have a meal and summoned the men of the Pao Brothers to meet up with the city government office as soon as possible.

After He Bin and others left, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but feel excited and walked around the lobby. If the men of Brother Pao joined, then his counterfeit Xiwang would have more than 4,000 troops, which would have been more than the real Xiwang attacked Changsha. If he accidentally let him break through Changsha, wouldn't that change history?

You should know that the current governor of Hunan is Luo Bingzhang. It seems that Zeng Guofan, who later formed the Hunan Army, was also worried at home, but he didn't know whether he was in Changsha or not, and Zuo Zongtang would also help defend Changsha, Luo Zenan, the father of the Hunan Army, Peng Yulin, who was known as Xue Shuai, and Zhang Liangji, the new governor of Hunan who later arrived in Changsha. Among his Taoists, there was the famous Hu Linyi. These people were famous officials of the Qing Dynasty who later suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They appeared in Hunan at the same time, or even in Changsha. If the city of Changsha was broken, he would accidentally kill half of the generals of the future Hunan Army.

Xiao Yungui's imagination was not completely impossible. More than ten years after the Battle of Changsha, Xu Yaoguang, a man at that time, sighed in his book "Talking about Zhejiang": "In the second year of Xianfeng, the Guangdong rebels (Taiping Army) attacked Changsha without breaking, and Tianliu thought it was the foundation of the southeast to restore the foundation!"

At this moment, Xiao Yungui suddenly felt as if he was standing at a crossroads. A strong impulse surged deep in his heart. This inexplicable impulse filled his limbs and bones. The angry impulse almost made him lose his mind. A bold idea was born in his heart. Since he had traveled through time and had such a good opportunity now, why not use this opportunity to change history and save the suffering country and nation now? Let the Qing Dynasty enter the history list one day, and then this ancient nation and country can suffer less suffering and humiliation!

Xiao Yungui's face turned red. With this thought, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He suppressed this thought and walked back and forth for more than a dozen times. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "Xiao Yungui, Xiao Yungui, you should be more realistic. There is a sharp blade hanging on your head. What are you doing that useless? You are not a real mud leg, so you should think about how to go back and continue to be your rich family."

Just as he was talking to himself, he suddenly saw the sky on the east side of the hall reflecting red. Xiao Yungui hurriedly walked outside the hall, but saw a large area of ​​fire rising from the east, reflecting the deep night sky blood red. Under the originally quiet night, there were shrill crying and screams coming.

Xiao Yungui urgently asked the card knife guard who was guarding the hall and said, "What happened there?"

Before the card knife hand could answer, he saw a Taiping army and several Taiping New Army coming quickly. The Taiping army was thirty years old and looked handsome. After taking his subordinates to Xiao Yungui, he reported: "Report to your highness, General Li Zuoche took us to the homes of several large bannermen in the city to find food. Unexpectedly, those bannermen refused to pay the food and spoke rudely. The new army brothers were angry and killed hundreds of bannermen in the family. After moving out the money and grain, they began to set fire to the house. General Li was afraid that the army would panic when they saw the fire, so he ordered us to report it."

Xiao Yungui was stunned. He originally planned to ask Li Zuoche to take people to find money and food, but he didn't expect that they would kill people, but they still killed them all. Although they were bannermen and were unkind, were they all the people in the family who deserved the crime? What about the servants, maids, and servants in their family? Should they be killed?

But seeing the Taiping Army who came to report, his expression was a little unbearable and he didn't dare to look at him, but the new army behind him was full of excitement. Xiao Yungui sighed in his heart. These new army in the Tiandihui must have been bullied by these rich families in daily life. Or maybe they had never been bullied by the rich families in Liling City, but were bullied by the rich families in their hometowns. But after this hatred was accumulated, as long as they were rich families, they would think that they should die. Isn't killing officials and rebelling and robbing the rich families one of the reasons why they joined the Taiping Army? Simply put, this is just the psychological trouble of hating the rich. Xiao Yungui felt like he had knocked out the five flavor bottle in his heart. His rich family might also be the object of their hatred.

Xiao Yungui coughed a few times, let out a long sigh, pretending to be nothing, "I ordered Li Zuoche not to disturb the people and the other rich Han families, so that they could send people to put out the fire quickly, and not to harm the fish in the pond. If the fire affects the houses of the people next to him, it would be bad. Remember that we only kill the bannermen, not to kill indiscriminately, and not to plunder!"

The Taiping Army was taking the order loudly and turning around to leave. Xiao Yungui suddenly asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

The Taiping Army turned around and bowed and said, "The subordinates are Li Yiwen, the northern two Simas under the command of the brigades in the front camp of the new army."

The Taiping New Army of the Tiandihui was also organized according to the Zhou Li. Five people were the ranks, and the rank commander was in charge, defeated the enemy, and won the victory. The five soldiers were in two, and the two Simas were strong, brave, powerful, and powerful. The five soldiers were in charge of the five soldiers; the four soldiers were in charge of the east, west, south, and north. The five soldiers were in brigades, and the brigade commander was in charge of the first camp, the back camp, the right camp, the left camp, the left camp, and the fifth army commander was in charge of the fifth army commander, and the army commander was in charge of the front camp, the back camp, the left camp, the right camp, and the fifth army commander. Li Yiwen was originally his elite swordsman, and he was in charge of the two Simas and twenty-five soldiers.

Xiao Yungui nodded and waved his hand and said, "You should send an order quickly." Seeing that Li Yiwen was extraordinary, Xiao Yungui still thought he was a famous person, but when he heard that his name was not familiar, he asked him to pass on his life. However, this rich man didn't remember it at all. Li Yiwen was actually the famous loyal king Li Xiucheng, who later became famous. Li Yiwen was just his former name.

Shortly after Li Yiwen took the people, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang arrived quickly again, but they saw Tong Qiangsheng following behind them. Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and sent Tong Qiangsheng to find out the news. He was already worried that Tong Qiangsheng and others would bring money and food to go and never look back. Then he would be beaten up. Fortunately, Tong Qiangsheng is back.

Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and Tong Qiangsheng came forward to salute, Xiao Yungui laughed and said, "No need to salute, Brother Tong, what did you find out? Let's go into the house and talk in detail." As he said that, Tong Qiangsheng entered the lobby of the government office.

When he arrived at the lobby, Xiao Yungui walked to the table of the Zhengtang Mansion, waved his hand and lifted the gavel, signing arrows, and copywriting on the table to the ground. He then took out a map drawn with cooked sheepskin from his arms. This map was originally a thing of Xiao Chaogui, but it was a map obtained by Xiao Chaogui before sending troops. It only marked the roads, rivers, and the locations of several county towns. It was painted very roughly, just like a map drawn by a primary school student. There were any detailed maps in the Taiping Army these days. It would be nice to have this map.

After Xiao Yungui finished the map, he greeted the three of them, looked at Tong Qiangsheng and asked, "Brother Tong, what did you find out?"

Tong Qiangsheng clasped his fists and said, "I spent a few taels of silver to ask a fellow villager who was a clerk in the Hunan Governor's Office to inquire about a few things. Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Qing Yao Hunan, has been dismissed from the Qing court. Zhang Liangji, the new governor of Qing Yao Hunan, has not yet taken office. Luo Bingzhang has temporarily taken his post. Luo Bingzhang heard that our army has successively conquered Anren, Chaling and other places. He has ordered two thousand green camp soldiers transferred from Shaanxi to garrison outside Changsha City. At the same time, he is mobilizing nearby Qing Yao to help guard the provincial capital Changsha. He heard that the 800 townsmen in Liuyang had arrived in Changsha and was sent by Luo Bingzhang to Jinpenling seven miles south of Changsha City to guard the city. The Qing Yao in the city is recruiting young and strong, and it seems that there are three or four thousand green camp soldiers. Bao Qibao, the governor of Qing Yao Hunan, originally had four or five thousand green camp soldiers. It is estimated that there are more than ten thousand Qing Yao soldiers in the city."

Xiao Yungui nodded, which was similar to what he expected, but Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's expressions changed slightly. You must know that the attacking city must be far greater than the defending party's troops. At this time, their subordinates were only three or four thousand people at best. How could they face the city with more than 10,000 people stationed?

Xiao Yungui touched the beard on his chin. He now liked to touch the beard and asked again: "Where are those Shaanxi soldiers deployed?"

Tong Qiangsheng replied: "The fellow villagers said that these soldiers from Shaanxi were very domineering. Luo Bingzhang asked them to garrison at Shimapu ten miles south of Changsha City. However, these Shaanxi soldiers drove out of Changsha City, but they did not leave outside the city, saying that they would have to pay the money before leaving. The soldiers started to make money, which made Luo Bingzhang very anxious. Luo Bingzhang was recruiting wealthy families in the city. The Shaanxi soldiers had not left yet. The subordinates thought that they would not arrive at Shimapu in another two days."

Xiao Yungui asked again: "Have the Liuyang Township Yong from Jinpengling reached Jinpengling?"

Tong Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Zhu Han, deputy general of the Qing Yao Yuanzhou Association, brought 800 Liuyang Township Men's Men, and he had arrived at Jinpenling, and there were a lot of firearms and supplies."

Xiao Yungui smiled gloomyly and said, "Don't put anyone out of the city back, but there is a small path that can pass around the stone horse pave and penetrate Jinpenling?"
