Hong Xiuquan guessed correctly again, this Xiao Chaogui, like Wei Changhui, came to "rob while the fire is hot" and wanted to ask to marry Hong Xuanjiao.
In fact, a long time ago, the two of them had intentionally or unintentionally expressed their admiration for Hong Xuanjiao to Hong Xiuquan, but Hong Xiuquan pretended to turn a blind eye.
At that time, the kingdom of heaven was at a time when it was strong, and Hong Xiuquan's prestige was unmatched for a while, even if he didn't agree, the two of them didn't dare to have any ideas, let alone ask openly.
Today is different, when the Kingdom of Heaven is in danger, the prestige of Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, has also plummeted, Shi Dakai betrayed, Yang Xiuqing was captured, and the importance of Wei Changhui and Xiao Chaogui was reflected at this time.
The two of them naturally knew that their identities had risen and they had the capital to bargain with Hong Xiuquan, so they dared to propose marriage at this time, even if it would make Hong Xiuquan feel coerced.
Wei Changhui is like this, and Xiao Chaogui is even more so.
What's more, although Hong Xiuquan has a number of queens in the harem, at least there is no man and half woman under his knees, and all the kings privately suspect that Hong Xiuquan is sick and cannot reproduce at all.
This means that Hong Xiuquan's nominal relatives are only Hong Xuanjiao's sister-in-law.
If anyone marries Hong Xuanjiao, his status in the kingdom of heaven must be unmatched, and if Hong Xiuquan dies in the future, maybe this dragon seat can still take his turn.
Whether it is out of personal affection or out of coveting Hong Xuanjiao's beauty, Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui naturally have to compete to marry Hong Xiuquan.
Hong Xiuquan naturally knew all their wishful thinking, and the gloom on his face flashed, and he immediately smiled and said: "King Bei, you are good-looking, and you can fight well, you are the first fierce general of my heavenly kingdom, looking at the entire heavenly kingdom, except for you, who is worthy of my royal sister I will not hide it from you, in fact, I have long had the heart to promise Xuanjiao, the royal sister, to you." ” "Really" Xiao Chaogui looked surprised, and it seemed that he believed it.
Hong Xiuquan smiled and said: "You have no jokes, how can what I say be false, but now is the autumn of the survival of the kingdom of heaven, and it is not appropriate to marry you now, so let's go to Bushan to resist the enemy with confidence, and after repelling the attack of the Tao Demon, I will personally handle the marriage for you, so that you can marry Xuanjiao in a beautiful manner." ” Xiao Chaogui was overjoyed, and he stuck on the ground with his head, and said gratefully: "Thank you for Your Majesty's gift, the King of Heaven can rest assured, the minister will do his best to resist the enemy when he goes to Bushan, even if he fights for the life of the minister, he will definitely repel the Tao Demon by the King of Heaven." ” Hong Xiuquan nodded with satisfaction, and comforted Xiao Chaogui again, and the king of the north retired happily.
Sending Xiao Chaogui away, the silence in the hall finally returned to death.
The smile on Hong Xiuquan's face also disappeared, replaced by a gloomy coldness, and there was even a trace of angry murder in his cold eyes.
"Okay, you Wei Changhui and Xiao Chaogui, while I am useful to you now, they will all come to threaten me, hmph, for the sake of the overall situation, I will endure it for a few days, give you some sweetness, and wait for the kingdom of heaven to turn into safety, and see how I settle accounts with you after the autumn" Hong Xiuquan was secretly calculating in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more awe-inspiring.
Panyu City.
The army of 90,000 has been gathered in Panyu, and nearly 300,000 Hu of early grain and grass have also been transported south from Qujiang Pass to Panyu City through Qinshui.
After that, more grain and grass, under the dispatch of Zeng Guofan, were also continuously transported from Jingzhou to Jiaozhou.
The potters rested outside the city of Panyu for two days, and the soldiers' physical strength had recovered a little, so they planned to immediately march west to Bushan, meet Ma Chao's department, and take Jiaozhi directly.
On the road to the west, an army of 90,000 marched mightily, and the potter sat on a war horse, his eyes staring at the direction of the west, and his thoughts were flying, outlining the idea of how to break the dragon weaving.
Ma Chao's army has been killing Benbu Mountain City for three or four days, and there has been no news so far, but the pottery merchant still has some confidence in Ma Chao, if he can succeed in the raid, the next target is naturally only the dragon weaving.
Just as he was thinking about himself, there was a sudden dust and mist in front of him, and it seemed that a large group of soldiers and horses were coming.
As soon as the potter's thoughts were collected, he immediately became alert, and ordered the former army Deng Ai to lead 20,000 soldiers to immediately set up a formation in case the enemy attacked.
"It shouldn't be the Taiping thieves attacking, with their current strength, sticking to Bushan is the best policy, and taking the initiative to fight us head-on is simply self-defeating."
Mu Guiying beside him analyzed.
The potter nodded slightly, looking at the approaching dust and mist from afar, and gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.
A moment later, the dust settled, and a troop of soldiers and horses appeared in front of them, which looked like the banners of their own army.
At this time, Deng Ai rushed over and shouted: "Your Majesty, the coming army is not a Taiping thief, it is the soldiers and horses of General Ma Mengqi." ” Ma Chao Department Mu Guiying and other generals on the left and right were all shocked, and their expressions were full of suspicion, looking at each other, obviously puzzled by Ma Chao's appearance.
"Isn't General Ma supposed to be attacking Bushan City, how can he appear here," Mu Guiying wondered.
The premonition in the potter's heart became stronger and stronger, and he sighed lightly: "It seems that our General Ma Da has touched a nail in Bushan this time, let's go, let's go and have a look." ” As he spoke, the potter whipped his horse and went straight to the front army.
Mu Guiying and the others were all suspicious, thinking that with Ma Chao's strength, there were 15,000 elite foot cavalry, nobodies in Bushan City, and thousands of soldiers and horses, how could they be opponents, how could they let Ma Chao touch the nail.
The generals were suspicious and stepped forward after the potter.
In the former military department, Deng Ai's department had already joined up with Ma Chao's department and stopped advancing on the spot to rest.
The potters passed by all the way, and saw that the returning soldiers were all dressed in red and hung with colors, and their expressions were gloomy, obviously they all looked like they had lost the battle.
Ma Chao saw that the pottery merchant had arrived, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, and said with a look of shame: "The minister took the initiative to attack Bushan, but the siege failed, and the enemy army was defeated. ” Ma Chao, the result is defeated Mu Guiying often met Chun and other generals, all of them looked shocked, and their eyes burst out with surprise.
Even Mu Guiying, although she did not approve of Ma Chao's unauthorized division of troops to attack Bushan, it does not mean that he has no confidence in Ma Chao, in fact, she has always believed that it is okay to take Bushan City with Ma Chao's strength.
She didn't expect that Ma Chao would be defeated The potter's expression also moved slightly, and there was a bit of surprise in his expression, but because he had a premonition, when he heard Ma Chao say that the army was defeated at this moment, he was not so shocked.
"Let's be flat."
The potter flicked his hand generously, "The general will not grant the order of the king outside, you see that the fighter plane is decisive and it is not wrong, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is not a big deal, but I am very curious, who has such a great ability, and actually repelled you Ma Mengqi" Ma Chao was relieved that he was not punished by the pottery merchant, and when he heard the pottery merchant ask him how he was defeated, the shame on Ma Chao's face was heavy.
He stood up and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, so he uncomfortably told the truth about his defeat.
It turned out that after destroying Yang Xiuqing that day, Ma Chao divided 15,000 soldiers and horses with Mu Guiying, and went to Benbu Mountain City through the starry night of Qinshui.
At the beginning, Ma Chao's troops were invincible, and the Taiping army was defeated along the way, and even broke Gaoyao, Duanxi, Guangxin, and Mengling counties, and rushed to the area of Bushan City within a few days.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, something happened suddenly.
The Taiping army guards of Nabu Mountain City unexpectedly changed the Taiping army's defense strategy, and actually took the initiative to attack and set up an ambush east of Bushan City.
And Ma Chao attacked all the way, and he also relaxed his vigilance a little, but he didn't expect the enemy to dare to take the initiative to attack, so he was ambushed by the enemy and lost thousands of soldiers and horses.

After Ma Chao's defeat, he was naturally extremely unwilling, packed up his troops and horses and continued to march westward, until he arrived in front of Bushan City, forced the city to go down, and planned to break through the city the next day to wash away the shame.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened again.
On the night of Ma Chao's camp, the Nabu Mountain guard attacked and robbed the camp again, set fire to his camp with the wind, and killed and wounded thousands of his soldiers and horses in the chaos.
Ma Chao was defeated twice, losing nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, in this case, he finally realized that the enemy was not an ordinary person, and with the little strength at hand, it was not easy to quickly break through Bushan City.
At this time, he learned that the potters were coming with the main force, so he had to withdraw his troops and retreat eastward, and came to meet the main force of the potters.
Ma Chao knew that the pottery merchant was aware of everything, although the more he spoke, the more he felt humiliated, he still didn't dare to hide half of it, and told the truth about his defeat, and didn't dare to hide a word.
Mu Guiying and other generals on the left and right, but they listened to it one by one, and they thought that their ears had heard it wrong, and there was a look of disbelief on their faces.
You know, the person in front of you is Xiliang Jinma Chao.
In terms of martial arts, it has the power of a half-step martial saint, and in terms of the ability to command troops, it is also a first-class existence, and among the 15,000 soldiers and horses unified, there are nearly 6,000 elite iron horses.
This kind of strength was actually defeated by a small enemy general of Bushan City.
Or twice "I said General Ma Mengqi, it's not that my lieutenant Chi respectfully speaks to you, to tell the truth, what kind of character are you, you actually lost two times in a row to an unknown general, you are embarrassed."
Wei Chigong was even more open-mouthed and poured salt on Ma Chao's wounds.
Ma Chao was already depressed enough, but he poured salt on the wound for Yu Chigong like this, and felt even more embarrassed, glaring at Wei Chigong fiercely, with a fire in his heart, there was a potter in front of him, but it was not easy to attack.
In desperation, Ma Chao had no choice but to glance at Wei Chi Gong and defended: "What do you know, how do I know that there is a powerful character hidden in the thief army, there is a powerful character hidden in Bushan City, you don't know how elusive that person is with soldiers, don't say it's me Ma Chao, even if it's you, you will still be defeated under him." ” "Is this person as godly as you say," Wei Chigong muttered with a questioning expression.
In the heart of the pottery merchant, he had a strong interest in this "nameless enemy general" who could defeat Ma Chao twice, so he said: "There are endless strange people and strange people in the world, and it is not uncommon for the Taiping army to hide powerful characters, Deng Shizai is not the best example, but Meng Qi said so much, I don't know yet, what is his name for this enemy general who defeated you twice" Well, recently the inspiration has come again, tonight Yanzi I will insert an article in the public account, probably should be called Wu Song and Pan Jinlian can't say the secret, everyone remember to search for Yanzi's WeChat public account: Tang Yan returns tangyanguii remember, it is to search the public account surprise waiting for you oh isjgy:
