After Xiao Yungui gave the order in the inner hall, the two generals Lin Li looked at each other, and Lin Fengxiang stepped forward and said, "The Western King puts national affairs first, which is a blessing for the kingdom of heaven. But if you shouldn't say anything, if it is the King of Heaven, the King of East will really be suspicious of us. Even if the King of West gives up all the cities, it will be useless. As long as there are troops in our western hall, to be honest, the King of Heaven and King of East will still be suspicious."

Xiao Yungui looked at Lin Fengxiang in surprise. The honest man's words were said to be a point. He gave up cities such as Nanjing. In fact, he did not really want to please the Heavenly King and the East King. He was for the vast army and civilians of the Heavenly Kingdom, and also for the Qing army. This shows that the Western King had no intention of reassurance, so that the subjects of the Heavenly Kingdom were relieved and the Qing army gave up. He also knew that as long as the troops and horses were strong, the Heavenly King and the East King would not be eliminated. But now it is not the time for a showdown. The West Palace urgently needed a base to gain a foothold. With a stable rear, he could consider something else.

Li Kaifang also said: "Yes, King of the West, we always rush in front, others are picking up cheap behind us. When will our West Palace really have our own territory? We come along the way, cities, soldiers, money, grain, and firearms are all made by our West Palace themselves. How have others ever tried? If you have to be suspicious of us, then it would be better to really support the King of the West to pull the flag and work alone, so as to avoid the aura of this bird!"

Xiao Yungui felt a little comforted. The words of the two generals Lin and Li represented the old brothers in the West Palace who had been with him for many years. They were the essence of the West Palace. With their loyalty, they would have undefeated capital. No wonder they had this idea. The West Palace is a front army and must be a vanguard in every battle. However, after a fight, the positions of the generals and soldiers were never higher than those of the royal relatives such as Lai Han and Ying. After hard work, they were still suspicious and no one could stand it. What's more, the Western King was their leader, and they won consecutive victories under the command of the Western King, making these old brothers more loyal to him. The other recruits are mostly children of Xianghu, Hubei and Anhui. Many people have never seen the Heavenly King and the East King, so naturally they would not be loyal to them. The current Western Palace is based on the head of the West King. Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui was quite moved, and it seemed that it was not impossible to pull the flag in advance and work alone.

Zuo Zongtang coughed and said, "The two generals and ministers in the West Palace understand that the biggest enemy is Qing Yao. If we do this in the West Palace, we will only lose the heart of the people. This is absolutely absolutely necessary."

After hearing Zuo Zongtang's words, Xiao Yungui's thoughts immediately dissipated and nodded, "Yes, I am the Western King of Heaven. I am not irreversible. My West Palace will never do anything to betray me! Besides, it is not a good thing to give up the city along the river and Nanjing. We can shrink our troops and continue to advance eastward, and attack the more prosperous places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi. We do not have to be nostalgic for the gains and losses of a city and a place."

Wang Kaiyun nodded slightly and said, "No, it's better to let the Heavenly King and the East King occupy Nanjing. With them in front of us, we can be more calm in using troops in the West Palace. Disasters are good, and everything will be wrong. There will be gains when you lose, and giving up Nanjing and the city along the river may not be a bad thing."

Everyone looked at Wang Kaiyun together, and they all felt that the scholar was right. Xiao Yungui touched his chin and nodded and said, "That's right. I'm still worried about not being able to distribute too much troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I originally planned to continue to recruit new recruits, but now there are nearly one million soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City to have a meal, and the food is still a little nervous. Renqiu's statement is good. There will be gains when there are any mistakes. Give up Nanjing and the speech city. Our West Palace can shrink its troops and horses. It is also a good thing to throw this big burden to others in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi Province."

Everyone laughed, Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "Okay, if everyone has decided on the plan, Mr. Zuo will write a memorial. He will only say that the ancient capital of Nanjing, the six dynasties can be established by heaven. The soldiers of the West Palace ask the Heavenly King, and the East King will move the troops and the cities along the river will also be handed out together. The Heavenly King, and the East King will send another strong general to guard it, thinking that Nanjing is fundamental. At the same time, the generals along the river are ordered to prepare for the settlement and immediately draw some troops to Nanjing. We cannot wait for the Heavenly King and the East King to start attacking Jiangsu and Zhejiang before starting the attack. We must start the battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang immediately. First, when the Heavenly King and the East King arrive, our West Hall has a place to go; second, we cannot give Qing Yao a chance to breathe. Qing Yao has such a rumor, so we want to make us lose our place. They have a chance to breathe, but we can't let them do what we want!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yungui said to Lin and Li Generals: "Besides the five thousand defenders left in Nanjing, you two commanders. Lin Fengxiang led the troops to capture Guazhou, Li Kaifang led the troops to capture Zhenjiang, and after the other generals arrived, we will discuss taking Suzhou and Hangzhou!" Zhenjiang, Guazhou is the throat of the north-south water transportation. The Taiping Army controlled the above-mentioned areas, which was equivalent to cutting off the transportation of north-south grains and seizing the lifeline of the Qing court. After years of excessive cultivation in the north and the harsh climate at the end of the Little Ice Period, grain production and economic crops were not enough to support the operation of this huge empire. Since the Qing Dynasty took over, the capital has relied on the grains from the south to support the Qing court. The Qing court's finances were basically supported by the grains and silver. The Taiping Army's advance towards Jiangnan would definitely give the Qing Dynasty unprecedented panic.

Lin and Li generals took the order loudly and left. Zuo Zongtang also ordered Wang Kaiyun to go down and draft the document. After the three left, Zuo Zongtang stroked his hands and said, "The Western King needs to endure it for a while. It is not the time to stand up for independence. We need to follow the Ming Taizu, build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings. We should not put ourselves at the forefront of the storm. We should still let the Heavenly King and the Eastern King be the best. When our strength increases greatly, we will no longer be kings and no need to worry about those false names."

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "I understand this matter. We will immediately shrink our troops and prepare to capture Suzhou and Hangzhou, advance to Shanghai, take Suzhou and Zhejiang as homes, and go to Fujian and Jiangxi as barriers. There is room for maneuver." He said this, touched his chin and frowned, "It's just that I am thinking about what kind of man would make such a vicious rumor on the side of Qing Yao? This person is so talented and so familiar with our heaven, and he is a strong enemy."

Zuo Zongtang pondered and said, "This person must be a great enemy. You can send Bai Zetang people and others to investigate openly and secretly. After finding out, you will get rid of it first and then quickly."

Xiao Yungui nodded heavily and said coldly: "No matter who is standing in front of me, we must get rid of it, let alone this person is so dangerous!"

After the plan was decided, Zuo Zongtang went to handle official duties, and only Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner were left in the inner hall. When Xiao Yungui looked back, he saw the four-eyed girl pondering and muttering from time to time. Xiao Yungui said strangely: "What are you talking about?"

Hong Yuner frowned and said, "I am thinking about the "Tuibei Tu". I am worried that this prophecy will be true. Think about it, if fate really can't escape it, it will be useless even if we work hard."

Seeing Hong Yuner's solemn look, Xiao Yungui knew that she had become a demon and hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't think about it randomly. The words that Tuibeitu make sense. Chinese characters are profound and profound. One word has many meanings. It is also a bit far-fetched to say that the Thirty-Four Hexagrams are the prophecy of the defeat of the Heavenly Kingdom."

Hong Yuner shook her head and said, "No, it's not unusual for one or two hexagrams to say occasionally. You also know what happened later, such as World War I, World War II, Japan's invasion of China, and the founding of New China. These prophecies have all happened in the history we know."

Seeing that she was pretty and unrestrained, Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "If there was a fatalism, I, the King of the West, would have been reimbursed under Changsha City, and could I still stand here to talk to you? Since God has arranged for us to travel through time, it will inevitably bring about changes. I think the time and space we are in are two parallel worlds with the time and space we were originally. Otherwise, how do you explain that Nanjing City was a historical event conquered by the King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? In fact, I am the best proof. There are many factors that affect the historical process, and there are thousands of dots and lines related to it. Since the historical node of the King of the West has changed, there will inevitably be changes in the future, and any fatalism can be broken."

Hong Yuner said oh, then she came to her senses. After thinking for a while, she said with relief: "I understand. It turns out that the biggest variable in this time and space is that we both. Well, after thinking it through, I won't be afraid."

Xiao Yungui smiled and gently held Hong Yun'er's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one dares to bully you."

Hong Yun'er was held by his big hand and was stunned for a moment. Seeing him laughing treacherously, his face turned stern, he pulled back his jade hand and said angrily: "Are you familiar with you? Feel less touching." His face still turned red in a bad mood, and he hurriedly thought of getting up and running away.

Xiao Yungui refused to give up and grabbed her and said, "Yun'er, we are all husband and wife, even the baby is born. Are you still unwilling to recognize the reality?"

Hong Yuner shook off his big hand, blushed and turned around and spat, "Who is a couple with you?" Then she whispered in a low voice: "I, I haven't even had a relationship..."

Xiao Yungui was a little amused and said seriously: "Okay, from now on, let's re-love with the doll on his back. This is OK."

Hong Yuner also laughed out loud, walked to the door with her hands behind her back and looked back and said, "It depends on your performance." After that, she ran without looking back.

Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and clenched his fists and thought to himself, "If you work hard, you can get there if you have the chance, otherwise you will be really suffocated."

A few days later, the rumors of the Qing army also reached Nanjing, but the West Palace was prepared and immediately presented a notice to express the loyalty of the West Palace. The imperial edict told the military and civilians that the Western King had already written a letter to the Kingdom of Heaven and asked the Heavenly King to move to Nanjing to take charge of the overall situation, and ordered the military and civilians of the West Palace to follow this, and the Western King was independent, and the rumors of Tuibeitu were self-defeating.

At the same time, the soldiers along the river began to be transferred eastward, and only some defenders were left waiting for the Changsha brigade to send troops to take over. With the cooperation of the water camp Luo Dagang, the two generals Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang launched the Guazhou and Zhenjiang Battle. The imperial envoy Qishan led more than 20,000 Qing troops in the north and the Qing army in Jiangnan were unable to rescue. Within a few days, Guazhou and Zhenjiang fell, and Qishan had to camp outside Yangzhou to confront each other.

After the Western King's memorial was delivered to Changsha, it really made the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and Eastern King Yang Xiuqing embarrassed for a while.
