Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 247 into the city

"The old man heard about Xinhui a few months ago to take revenge for his parents, wife and children, and to clear the soldiers with his hands as a brave scholar named Yunlong. Today, when I see him, the brave scholar is indeed well-deserved, and the soldiers he leads are even more incredible. He really is a hero. , a hero comes out of a boy, hehe..."

Chen Qice, the old white-haired general who was in a good mood because of the victory, grabbed Zhou Shixiang's hand and looked at it carefully. On the side, the generals of the Chen Bu all looked at Zhou Shixiang with smiles on their faces. They didn't have the pride of a guest soldier that Zhou Shixiang thought before. This made Zhou Shixiang secretly ashamed, but he had the heart of a villain before.

Chen Qice was so enthusiastic, and he was a figure of his grandfather's generation. He couldn't stop praising him. Zhou Shixiang would not have any distaste for the old white-haired general's scrutiny, and he was humble as a junior there. After sizing up enough, Chen Qice moved his beard and introduced several generals to Zhou Shixiang one by one. Zhou Shixiang and everyone also greeted each other one by one, and they did not lack any courtesy, but they did not put themselves too low, just like the normal courtesy among friendly troops. Chen Qice was not surprised by what he did, and nodded secretly.

"If it wasn't for the general to lead troops to help, Xinhui City would have been taken away by the Qing army long ago, and there are still juniors here. The juniors could see clearly, but the Qing army fled as soon as they saw the general's banner. General Ling Hai Prestigious enough to shock Guangdong Province."

Zhou Shixiang held Chen Qice in disguise, but he didn't say the official title at all. He only called one by one from the younger generation, while Duke Xiang of Song heard the meaning, his heart moved slightly, and he secretly thought about it.

"Hey, it's not that your Taiping army has been standing in this city for several months, and you have set fire to the Qing army navy camp. How can this old man swagger into the river and go ashore with the courage to beat the drowning dog. In the war, your Taiping army has made great contributions, and your brother Zhou has made a great contribution! When the old man got off the ship, he decided to report the war to the court truthfully. What kind of joy are the emperor and the court's princes? You can rest assured. With this credit, the court will never treat you badly!"

Chen Qice has the demeanor of a veteran, and he looks like a big boss. It seems that as long as he gets a book. The imperial court will immediately reward him with a general soldier. He was also old and mature, and Zhou Shixiang refused to surrender his identity to respect him as General Ling Hai, so he called "Brother Zhou" one by one, not caring at all about the difference in age between the two.

Of course, Zhou Shixiang also wanted the official status of the Yongli court, as for the level of rewards. He didn't care, and thanked Chen Qice for his kindness with a smile, but found that the faces of the generals behind Chen Qice were not very good-looking. After a little thought, he knew the key to the problem. According to the old general's statement, the Taiping Army must have reported it. He was the biggest contributor to capturing and defending Xinhui, otherwise, the contribution of Chen Bu who came to help would be lower. There is a big difference between the primary and secondary points, and the rewards are very different, and people are all utilitarian without thinking about the minds of the generals of the Chen Department. If the navy hadn't come ashore in time, it would be a problem whether the Taiping army could hold on. It's really hard to tell who this merit belongs to.

Since Zhou Shixiang came, Qi Hao took the initiative to join the Taiping Army. He interjected and said, "The King of Xining must be very happy."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Qice and Zhou Shixiang were both stunned, Chen Qice's assistant Hu Deyu frowned slightly, but he didn't know what to think.

The atmosphere in the field was awkward. Fortunately, Chen Qice smiled brightly and said, "King Xining led an army to surround the Xinhui for a few months last year, but the result was a failure and had no choice but to retreat. Today, the Xinhui was taken by Brother Zhou. He defeated the attacking Qing army again. , the news has passed, how can the Xining Prince be unhappy, I am afraid that the day will be reported, and the army will be marching east again."

"I'm afraid Prince Xining won't be able to get out..." Hu Deyu murmured, but no one heard.

"Since the Qing army has been defeated, Xinhui will no longer be in danger of being surrounded. Then please invite the general to enter the city for a talk, but some ideas of the younger generation should be discussed with the general Haosheng."

Chen Qice was coming to aid from a guest army, and Zhou Shixiang, as the actual owner of Xinhui City, naturally had to treat each other with kindness.

Chen Qice said with a smile: "Alright, since the old man entered the sea in the second year of Yongli, he has not stepped into a city or a pool inland for several years. Last year, he watched this Xinhui city from a distance and was anxious. Today's great victory is just in time. As soon as I wish, I want to visit the city." Then he greeted his subordinates, "Come, all of you will follow the old man into the city and have a good look at the city of Daming."

The generals responded with a smile, but Hu Deyu reminded Chen Qice in a low voice. After listening, Chen Qice quickly said to Zhou Shixiang: "By the way, Brother Zhou has extra food and grass to supply the old man's navy."

"forage?"

Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it seemed that Chen Qice's navy was just as poor as his Taiping Army. He smiled bitterly and said, "The reason to invite the old general into the city is to discuss this matter of food and grass."

"Oh?" Chen Qice saw the troubled look on Zhou Shixiang's face, and his heart was tight, knowing that the other party's food and grass would be difficult, thinking that he only brought a few days of food and grass in the army when he came here, he couldn't help but feel anxious. But he remained calm, nodded with a smile, motioned to Zhou Shixiang to lead the way, and instructed Hu Deyu: "Zixuan, you go to arrange it, the aftermath is up to you, you don't have to ask."

"Yes, General." Hu Deyu hurriedly responded.

"Old General please!"

"Brother Zhou, please!"

When Zhou Shixiang invited Chen Qice and his party to enter Xinhui City~www.mtlnovel.com~ there were corpses and burning camps everywhere along the way. Every time a team passed by, Chen Qice had to stop, and if he saw a wounded soldier, he had to pay attention. This kind of behavior naturally made Zhou Shixiang feel even more deeply, and he felt that this old white-haired general was not like other generals in the Ming army. It's very grounded. However, the more Chen Qice was like this, the more Zhou Shixiang didn't know how to open his mouth to carry out the next thing.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, there happened to be old people and children organized by the Taiping Army back camp to go to Zhancheng to pick up things. Seeing these old people and children who were so hungry that they were malnourished, Chen Qice's face was horrified and very sad.

On the battlefield, both the Taiping Army and the navy were cleaning up separately. The two sides tacitly went their separate ways, and there was no such thing as a fight for the spoils. If they wanted to come to Chen Qice's side, they also ordered them from the opposite side.

Song Xianggong sent people into the city to clean up the county office early, and then scavenged some dried meat and vegetables, and managed to buy a table that was quite eye-catching, but there was no drink in the army, fortunately Chen Qice didn't mind. So both sides sat down with tea instead of wine.

After three rounds of tea, Zhou Shixiang first said that the Taiping army was nearly out of food, and then proposed that the Qing army's food and grass captured in this battle should be divided equally by both sides, and the rest of the supplies should be divided equally. To be continued.
