The sky-sky fire at the entrance of Yushi burned all night. The fire caused the sky within ten miles of radius to be red, and many people could no longer fall asleep. △↗, this fire was destined to touch the eyes and moods of everyone on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Until dawn, a team of Qing soldiers from the Green Camp in Guangzhou crossed the Tanjiang River and then passed the exact information they had investigated back to the other side of the river.

The bad news came one after another. First, the fire broke out in the medicine warehouse in the navy camp caused most of the navy warships docked at the dock to be damaged. Then, the army's food and grass just transported from Guangzhou were burned. Again, the navy officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties and could no longer be established, and they could no longer undertake the task of intercepting and blocking Tan Jiang.

The news of the whereabouts of Liang Biaoxiang, the chief of the Navy, was caught in the bad news and spread it all over the place. However, this news did not make Shang Zhixin sad, but instead made him furious and could no longer suppress the anger in Wu's heart. "Bastard, bastard, Liang Biaoxiang is a bastard. He deserves ten thousand deaths, and he deserves ten thousand deaths. I want to chop his head and chop his head!"

He had to be angry. The navy was over, but the fire burned not only the navy, but also the army's food and grass! Without food, the army would eat and drink and siege the city! What was even more annoying was that Liang Biaoxiang's whereabouts were unknown. God knew whether the pirate ran away for fear of sin!

"The dog cannot change the food, the mud cannot spread on the wall. Liang Biaoxiang is extremely incompetent. I will destroy my navy and destroy my food and grass. Now I am running away for fear of crime. I will cut this person into pieces! Come on, I will immediately catch Liang Biaoxiang. I will chop him up with my own hands!"

The generals in the tent knew that the prince was impatient and prone to anger, so they were already frightened by Shang Zhixin's rage. No matter how bad news came from the other side, no one dared to say anything except their hearts, for fear that the prince's anger would be angered on their own.

Now that he heard the prince's order to arrest people, the generals looked at each other one after another: Where can I catch Liang Biaoxiang at this critical moment? What should I use to capture him? This man was originally a pirate, unfaithful, and had no lord or father. If something happened to such a big thing, he would have a ghost! Even if he didn't go out to sea, what could he do to him? In the previous Xinhui, Qinzhou Island suffered two major defeats tormented the navy, but the King of Pingnan could not do anything to him?

If you say a thousand words, the thief who was attracted by the sea was Sun Wuzi. If you didn’t have enough strength, you would not be able to do it. The Qing Dynasty was just not strong enough in the Navy. If it weren’t for the surrender of the Nanming Navy and the pirates who were attracted by the foreign countries, the Qing army would not even be able to set up a navy. I didn’t see that when Liang Biao led the crowd to surrender, whether it was the King of Pingnan or the court in Beijing. No one was not offering him or her, and if he was defeated, it was like nothing happened. Why? It was because his family did not have the ability to form a navy and there was no navy general who could take action!

So, Liang Biao really ran away for fear of crime, and that was not something that the prince’s prince could catch him as soon as he said he wanted. If someone was sent to arrest him, no one could catch him!

The generals saw this thoroughly and knew that the prince was just talking anger, but who dared to make it clear in the first place, saying that you can't catch anyone at all? That's true. The thief Liang Biaoxiang was not unlucky, but his family was unlucky first. His prince was both in a daze, who could save him in this camp?

The scene was cold and there was silence. None of the generals spoke, and no one moved. This scene made Shang Zhixin stunned for a moment, and then he became even more furious. Just as he was about to curse, Zhou Yuanliang, the deputy commander of the vassal, accompanied his military commander Qin Guocheng into the account.

Zhou Yuanliang and Qin State Cheng were both old men who followed Shang Kexi to the Qing Dynasty. Like Ban Zhifu, Xu Erxian and others, they were all highly respected by Shang Kexi. In terms of seniority, they were also Shang Zhixin's uncles. After Ban Zhifu was recalled by Shang Kexi to Guangzhou, Qin and Zhou became the second only general in the army after Shang Zhixin, and they were also the right-hand man who Shang Kexi specially left for his son. With these two people, Shang Kexi was not worried about any chaos in the siege.

After Qin Guocheng and Zhou Yuanliang entered the tent, the generals in the tent secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if they were saviors. Qin Guocheng didn't look much, but just knew what had happened just from the atmosphere in the tent and the expression of the prince's prince. He sighed secretly and stepped forward with Zhou Yuanliang to greet the prince.

Seeing them, Shang Zhixin's face also calmed down slightly.

Zhou Yuanliang first said, "Your Highness. I have searched carefully. The food and grass stocked in the navy have been burned down by the fire. I can't snatch a grain of food at all."

Hearing this, although it was known that the food and grass transported from Guangzhou were burned down by a fire, Shang Zhixin's heart still trembled. Thinking of Liang Biaoxiang, who was unknown, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, but soon calmed down his anger and asked Zhou Yuanliang calmly: "How much food is there in the army?"

Zhou Yuanliang said: "There is not much grain reserved in the army, only enough to maintain the needs for three or four days." He paused and said: "If the food for civilians is deducted, it can be more than two days, but it can only maintain the needs for six or seven days. If there is no food supplement at that time, the food will inevitably be cut off."

After hearing this, Shang Zhixin browsed and looked at Qin Guocheng, asking him: "How long will it take to transport grain in Guangzhou to come again?"

"This..." Qin Guocheng hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the navy was burned by the prince and Jingfan, and was run by the Governor's Office. Most of them came from counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture. Now they were destroyed by fire. In the short term, it is unlikely that Guangzhou will prepare so much food and grass again. Moreover, the past grain and grass transport was transported by the navy. Now most of the navy's ships have been damaged. It is impossible to transport water by land. This takes too long to take time, so it is difficult to transport it before the army cuts off food."

"So, in six or seven days, our army will be unable to escape the siege because of the out of food!" Shang Zhixin was a little unwilling. The Taiping Army in Xinhui City was obviously a turtle in the jar, and the food could not last long. It would not take long to kill into the city without any effort. But now his own food was going to be cut off first, which made him feel relieved! It felt like he had already caught a good hand, but he found that he was a husband.

When they came to Former Qin, Cheng and Zhou Yuanliang had discussed all possible solutions, but the final answer was that Guangzhou could not transport food to Xinhui within six or seven days, so the only way to do this was to rescue the siege first. Otherwise, once the army had no food, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For the sake of the security of the army, Qin State Cheng and Zhou Yuanliang both advised Shang Zhixin to withdraw their troops, and the generals in the tent also spoke one after another, believing that the army could not be able to surround Xinhui City without food.

The generals' speech made Shang Zhixin extremely annoyed. After a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted: "I naturally know the current situation, but we have another way to understand the circumference!"

Another way?

Qin Guocheng and others were shocked and puzzled.
