There was a lot of joy and laughter in Qinghe Prefecture City. Although there was a day and night of hard fighting, several facilities in the Prefecture City were not damaged much. Although the Taiping Army destroyed the city walls and defense systems when it was evacuated, it did not cause much damage to the streets and buildings in the city. Except for the looting before leaving, the others were still as intact.

When the empire's double dragon playing with pearl flags floated up again at the head of Qinghe City, the gentry of Qinghe Mansion came out from all over the place. The residents of Qinghe Mansion City only spent one day cleaning the several channels in Qinghe Mansion City. Red lanterns were hung at the doors of the gentry and merchants to celebrate the revival of Qinghe River.

"My gentlemen, ladies, fellow villagers, today is a day worth celebrating. We are here to celebrate our Beiyuan County Qinghe Prefecture recovered from the Taiping Rebellion Party and returned to the empire. During this period, many parts of the empire were ascended as the clutches of the Taiping Rebellion Party. The empire encountered unprecedented difficulties, but the empire never gave up its concern for the gentry and people in the occupied areas. Yesterday, our Imperial City Guards were instructed by the Empire to finally expel the Taiping Rebellion Party from this land, making this rich and fertile

The land reappears. This is just the first step for our city guard army to recover Beiyuan County. In the days to come, we will step by step, follow the established arrangements, launch a final attack on the Taiping Rebellion Party, and finally realize the restoration of the entire empire. Victory belongs to us, glory belongs to the empire!" You Sufu's face was red, and he stood on the Hongbin Tower on the first floor of Qinghe Prefecture City and spoke generously, domineeringly, looking at the gentry and merchants in the audience smiling, with admiration and admiration in his eyes. This feeling was even more enjoyable than drinking ice dew in June.

"General Yusufu said it well, the empire has not forgotten us. Today, Qinghe Mansion can escape from the sea of ​​suffering, all the officers and soldiers of the City Guard Corps. As the saying goes, give the sword to the martyrs and the wine to the heroes. Come on, everyone, we express the sincere gratitude of the people of our Qinghe Mansion to all the officers and soldiers of the City Guard Corps with our drinking wine! Please!" The president of the Qinghe Mansion Chamber of Commerce had already catered to the complacent Yusufu's flattery, which made Yusufu feel even more happy.

The wine was filled with joy, and just as the wind and dancing were singing, a soldier with a panic looked quietly into the banquet hall, looking for the commander of the Legion. He finally invited the commander of the Legion out of a group of young women and noble girls. Although Yusufu was very unhappy, he heard that the report was from the scout team sent by himself. He immediately felt a chill in his heart, and a bad premonition had already arisen in his heart.

"What's the fuss?" Yusufu asked with a calm expression.

"Legislative Commander, something is not good. According to the intelligence we collected in the north, the Kamans and the Pooles jointly sent troops to Yulin and Yunzhong. At present, Yulin and Yunzhong have fallen. The Kamans' army is moving south quickly. When the intelligence personnel come back, the Kamans' army has approached the northern border of Qinghe Prefecture!" Although under the stern eyes of the Legislative Commander, the scouts didn't care about covering up anything anymore, so they simply spit out the information they obtained in one breath.

A crisp sound of "Box" was heard. Even Yusufu had been a man who had experienced some storms, but he still couldn't bear such a sudden bad news. He was originally in his hand and fell to the ground and fell to pieces. Yusufu had no choice but to worry about his own disobedience and grabbed the scout's clothes on his chest like crazy and asked viciously: "What did you say? What did you say? Do you dare to lie about military information?! How could the Kamans attack Yulin? They are birds of a feather with the Taiping Rebellion Party, how could they attack the territory of their allies?"

"Sir, the situation is absolutely true, and my subordinates dare not conceal it. It is said that the Kamans and the Pooles jointly sent troops. Although the number of troops is unknown, it is probably more than any previous one. Please prepare for the corps commander." Although the scout was panicked, he could only helplessly shrink his neck and let the corps commander scold him.

After letting go of his hands, Yu Sufu's face turned pale. He had already agreed with the other party's statement in his heart, but he subconsciously did not want to admit that the blow was too big and it was too bad. At this time, he slowly recalled why the 80,000 Taiping Army withdrew from Qinghe Prefecture so easily. It turned out that they had already obtained information about the invasion of the Kaman people at that time, but he was still complacent about occupying the Qinghe Prefecture like a fool. He even thought that the combat effectiveness of his legion had really increased a lot out of thin air. Why were the city walls, gates and city defense facilities destroyed by Taiping Cults, and there was a joint explanation. These bastards raised by the bastards actually used such despicable and dirty means to make them unable to rely on Qinghe Prefecture to compete with the Kaman army going south.

Yusufu touched his forehead in despair and drank two more glasses of wine. He felt dizzy and staggered under his feet.

"Legislative Commander! What's wrong with you?" the scout was shocked and shouted loudly.

Yusufu's mind was confused. What should he do? He heard the scout exclaimed and looked around. He found that this place was still the side of the banquet hall. Fortunately, no one saw him losing his composure, otherwise he would not know how big a storm would cause.

"Go and call the guards over, I will go back to the commander's mansion first! Let the guards pass on my orders and let the leaders of each division come to our mansion to discuss matters immediately, and there must be no delay!" After calming down, Yusufu knew that he must not be panicked at this time, otherwise the gentry and merchants of Qinghe Mansion would find out that he would really be difficult to get out.

A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire conference room. A group of people sat silently in their seats, either smoking in a silence, holding a teacup, only Yusufu's creaking leather boots paced back and forth in the middle of the hall like a tiger in a cage stepped on the floor, and the sound was extremely harsh.

"Don't sit here and talk about your own opinions. Time doesn't wait for anyone. It won't take long before the old and young people in Qinghe Mansion will know the news. At that time, the situation will be passive, but we will not be able to do so." The head of the left was Yusufu's chief of staff Zhang Jinfu. His tendency could be heard in his words. If he didn't leave, he would be unable to leave.

"Mr. Zhang means we will retreat east now? But where should we retreat? Unless we return to the imperial capital, from Qinghe to the imperial capital, there are all flat horses and flat horses. The heavy cavalry of the Kaman people have always been invincible. Even Li Wufeng's Gaoyue heavy infantry has suffered a great loss. Our army is mainly light armored infantry, and the heavy infantry is not large in scale. How to resist? The Kaman people's troops will definitely exceed our city guards this time. In this way, we still want to stalemate with the Kaman people in the plains. Isn't it the same as dying?" A tall and thin man expressed his opinion, "Otherwise we retreat to the city of the imperial capital and work with the Third and Fourth Legion, and maybe we can compete with each other."

"Return to the imperial capital? In this case, can you go back to the imperial capital? If you go back, maybe the soldiers can escape this disaster. I am afraid that everyone here can only go to the military court! The news of Qinghe's resurrection has probably been published in the major newspapers of the imperial capital today, right? In a blink of an eye, we left the people of Qinghe Prefecture and fled without fighting, and fled back to the imperial capital in one go. Isn't this going to go to the gallows by ourselves?" The first person sitting in the right head was a thin old man, and he is also a veteran of the City Guard Corps. Deng Yuanbiao, deputy commander of the City Guard Corps, spoke sarcastically and had always had no rivalry with the Legion Commander Yousufu. He was dissatisfied with Yusufu launching the Qinghe Battle in order to make performance. He fell into a trap and was in a dilemma, which made him extremely dissatisfied.

"But, Lord Deng, it's probably not easy to defend this Qinghe Mansion. Before leaving, the Taiping Army had destroyed many walls at the West Gate and the South Gate. It would take less than half a month to repair it. Moreover, the Taiping Army also destroyed the catapults and crossbows on the city wall. Now Qinghe Mansion is simply an unguarded city. How to defend it? Besides, we are not sure how many people the Kamans went south, but according to our subordinates, the number will definitely exceed our army! If this battle is really fought in Qinghe Mansion, we are afraid that we will be in trouble." The person who spoke was a division commander, and he expressed many concerns.

After hearing a cadre quarrel, Yusufu felt even more irritable. As Deng Yuanbiao, the old guy said, the big report on the restoration of Qinghe has been published in major newspapers and magazines in the empire, but now he escapes in shame, fearing that his position is a trivial matter, and it may be a fate of going to the gallows. But if you want to fight, you are not sure. Once you are trapped in this Qinghe Prefecture by the Kamans, it may be the end of annihilation. Unless the Third and Fourth Legion come to help with all their strength, but he and His Highness Ninth have a little tower in his heart. Will he let the only force in his hands that is completely under his control to rescue him? Yusufu has no confidence.

But now I am afraid that I can only bet on this game, and the fate of returning is predictable. The worst result of fighting is the same as the end of retreating. It is better to be a damn bet. Even if death can lead to a heroic reputation, it is far better than going back to the gallows with your tail between your tail. If Situ Lang considers his own uses and being under pressure from the public opinion of the whole empire, he might really let the Third and Fourth Legion save him.

"Enough, I have decided. It is not my style to retreat like a bear. It is not my style of Yusufu. Facing the military law gallows is not your willingness. Then we might as well play a destiny roulette with the Kaman people in Qinghe Mansion to see who loses and who wins. As for reinforcements, I will immediately send someone to the imperial capital to ask for reinforcements. I believe that Your Highness Ninth will not sit idly by." Yousufu vaguely revealed his relationship with Your Highness Ninth and cheered his subordinates, but only he knew what it was inside.
