In Huainan 800 miles away, although with the fall of Guangling, Shanyang, Zhongling and other places, the entire thirteen prefectures in Huainan basically fell into the control of the Taiping Army; however, in the area north of Guangling to the Gaoyou Lake to the south of Shanyang, sporadic and frequent battles still occur from time to time.

Because the remaining troops of Yang Xingmin, Zhu Yanshou, Tian Bao, Lu Shizhou, An Renyi, Zhao Huang, etc. who fled from Guangling City, were still struggling to persevere among the many frozen water and grass storms in the Gaoyou Lake Basin; and they also captured several local forts and market towns, killing and plundering them, regardless of gender, age and young.

Therefore, as long as you walk among the withered large and wild weeds, you may accidentally encounter a few corpses of famine that are hard-frozen, covered with thin or thick snowflakes, as if they have fallen to the ground and take root and merge with the world.

Wrapped in a velvet coat and a big ear-covered hat, Xu Wen, the new special consultant of the Anti-Rebel Association, was also worried about moving slowly in this team full of baggage.

It is not a particularly relaxing thing to move on during the snowy winter. He had rested at least five places along the way; three of them were gathering sites and stewards transformed by ordinary village houses, but he could not see a dead person who was frozen or hungry. Even those elderly, young, women and children with obvious physical weakness looked angry under the old clothes.

This made him secretly startled, at least for the current brilliance of the epidemic and war, and the deserted and population everywhere; how could the Taiping Army's ability to deploy and distribute materials and subsequent maintenance and support in these unintentional details be worthwhile and terrifying? You must know that Xu Wen had also presided over the raising and transportation of food and grass in the army behind the scenes, so how could he not know the difficulties and troubles in this?

He had seen this baggage team with his own eyes unloading mountains of cargo, rations, and grease from the vehicles and ships swaying up the river; and then he walked firmly along the snow-covered road, filling the villages and warehouses in the strongholds he passed along. However, this was just the slightly larger one among the countless teams that were now traveling through Huainan.

These waves along the river have become torrents that are connected to all directions, which are also another proof of the powerful strength of the Taiping Army. Here, there is no longer the destruction of swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, firearms, and the deterrence of attacking cities and villages; but another kind of inexplicable power and profoundness that saves the world and people, lives countless people, and can hit people's hearts directly.

At least he can confirm something. After this harsh winter, whether it was Yang Xingmin, who had been following the former leader, or the old masters of the Huainan Jieya in Guangling City, the situation of the local scenery could no longer be returned. Because any resistance and rejection of the Taiping Army was either wiped out and killed before, or fell under the rampant epidemic, the remaining ones could not survive the harshness of this winter.

Therefore, the only one who survived in the spring of the following year was the so-called "new land and follow the people" who generally thanked and followed the orders and propositions of the Taiping Army. In other words, Xu Wen himself was one of the members who were lucky enough to stand out among these new land and followers. You should know that before being dispatched, he had participated in several large-scale collective trials in his hometown Luzhou and various matters prepared before and after.

Because, with the trampled reed marsh and dry grass all over the ground, there were also Taiping cavalry wearing iron scales and hoodies. They swung their guns and knives like driving pigs and sheep herders, driving these fleeing enemies back like sifting, and eventually turned into a large group of huddles entrenched on the road...

On the third day, the secret strongholds, including many wild villages in the vast reed grass of Gaoyou Lake, were successively killed by Taiping soldiers who followed the map, destroyed one by one and burned them down. Captives from all directions gathered in Gaoyou City for a while.

However, in the past, the land of Huainan always tried to maintain a basic glamorous and decent Shouhao Army. Now they are like beggars, wrapping them with various fabrics that can be found; they are all pale and thin and weak, and they can't even wear basic armor. They have exposed head, face, hands and feet and other body parts, and there are many blue-gray and purple frostbite marks, and they can only squat like quails and squeeze into a ball:

This made Xu Wen, who was in charge of the inspection, feel mixed feelings but doesn't know what to say. At this time, Chen Duer, the cavalryman who was leading the team to follow the response, reminded:

"Consultant Xu, your business is time to open."

Afterwards, Zhang Hao, the commander of the left yamen with disheveled hair, was the leader of the old Huainan who were identified and identified among the prisoners, and they couldn't help but curse at Xu Wen:

"Xu Laosi, you are a thousand-killer..."

"You can't kill Xu Si, you're not going to die a good death..."

"I'm doing this for your own good,"

Faced with these curses and insults, Xu Wen said calmly:

"At least after you are recognized by me here, although Ming Dian Zhengzheng's death cannot escape death, at least you will not implicate too much of your family; perhaps you can also have bloodlines passed down from generation to generation."

"But if you let me continue to harm the local area, even if the Taiping Army cannot pursue their families, how could the victims and related families in those places be spared easily? I'm afraid there will be more things that cannot be said."

"How dare you dog thief!!!"

"Swear and not give up!!"

However, there are completely different tones in this intercourse of scolding:

"I am willing to redeem myself. Please give the villain a chance to redeem himself in the past, in view of the old righteousness. "

Xu Wen couldn't help but look closely and found that it was the general of the Yaqian cavalry under Yang Xingmin, who was always brave and powerful, and the hometown party king Jingren, who was born in Hefei, Luzhou.

"I am willing to surrender, too...I also know the possible hiding place of An Renyi..."

After this start, another Huainan Moon Shooting Cavalry General Asina Yuelu quickly started to speak:

He was originally a relative of Turkic branches, and led a few Shatu people and Miscellaneous Hu Hu cavalry in the army. He first followed the entire territory of the Tianping Army and then transferred to Yang Xingmin's command. Compared with these deep and bitter detailed tasks, he did not have such a firm and hard position.

However, after hearing this sentence, Xu Wen felt aroused. An Renyi was a divine cavalry and one of the famous champions, he was once the top figure who was known as the number one sharpshooter in Huainan.

——I am the dividing line—

In the distant north, in the southwest of Hedong Road, in the Shangdang and Xiangguo basins, the southwest of Hedong Road, snowflakes fell on the messy corpses scattered on the road, including both the Hu people in felt-wearing leather hats and the officers and soldiers in big jackets and hats; but more were men, women, young and old who were exiled to the road; after they encountered a cold wave by chance, they kept hugging each other and were frozen to death on the side of the road.

The commander of the Shatuo Army Yier, who was heavily armored, with a bow and a spear, and riding a white horse, has now been changed to the Chinese name Li Keyong. Zhu Xieyisheng, who claimed to be the descendant of the Cao lineage of the Li Tang royal family, was adopted as one of his adopted sons, and the Shatuo Yong general An Jingsi, who changed to Li Cunxiao. He also looked at the Chengde military camp that became empty overnight, and said in confusion:
Chapter completed!
