In the afternoon, Sun Guanchen rushed to the riverside and got into Zeng Guofan's net to tell him about this important military situation.
"Assistant Minister Zeng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's a pity to lose it!”
Zeng Guofan stroked his beard and did not say anything for a long time. Sending troops to the north was his established military plan to eliminate the chief of Jinggang.
F * ck, it fit this plan. Zeng Guofan had a good relationship with Sun Guanchen's elder brother, and he had a good impression of Sun Guanchen. he felt
During the crisis two years ago, Sun Guanchen was able to borrow money generously. He was indeed a man of integrity. Today, he came to ask for troops.
It was for business, but it was also to protect the people. Moreover, tomorrow was indeed a good opportunity. However, he still had some feelings in his heart.
Unstable.
"Have you seen Young Master Long before?”Zeng Guofan asked Sun Guanchen.
"Yes, yes. The Long family is my old customer. Every year, I do a few big deals with them.”Sun Guanchen actually didn't
He knew that Zeng Guofan was suspicious since he had met the young master of the Long Family. Besides, he talked to that person
After more than two hours, it could be determined that this person was the real Long family's young master. If not, why would he pay before buying a piece of material?
A deposit of a thousand taels of silver?
Zeng Guofan nodded and said to himself,"Why did Long Hair arrange for 500 people to stay in Jinggang?”With the loss of Yuezhou last time
Zeng Guofan was much more cautious now. He still hadn't made up his mind whether to send troops or not.
"Master Di, who cares about him! Let's deal with these 500 Long Hair first.”Wang He was in a hurry to take revenge on Yanglou Si.
He tried his best to encourage them.
"Master Di, Jinggang is not far from here. I think we should send a few people to inquire about it. If it's really as Young Master Long said, then send troops?
Too late." Li Xubin also wanted to use this victory to wash away the shame of the Yanglou Division, but he was more stable than Wang He.
The attitudes of Wang and Li prompted Zeng Guofan to make up his mind. " If there are really only five hundred people," he calculated in his heart.
"Water Land Continent has 5000 people. If we use ten times the number of troops to wipe them out, we will definitely win. If we win this battle, we can cheer up the Xiang warriors.
I'm angry."
Yes, Zeng Guofan really needed to win the battle at this time! He finally accepted Li Xubin's suggestion. At night, the people who sent the detectives
Come back and tell the truth. Everything Young Master Long said was true. Zeng Guofan finally decided to send troops.
The next day, Xiang Yong woke up at four o'clock to eat. Wang Wei and Li Xubin led all the Lu Yong, and Zeng Guofan sat in the dragnet and personally commanded.
All the water warriors headed towards Jinggang. The warship soon arrived at the White Sand Region, which was twenty miles away from Jing Harbor.
The navy stopped at Bai Sha Zhou. Not long after, Lu Yong also arrived. The cavalryman turned around and reported that the pigs and cows were being slaughtered in Jinggang Town.
Immortal tables filled the entire street. Zeng Guofan was overjoyed and ordered the navy to go ashore in Jinggang. Lu Yong crossed the pontoon bridge and met in Jinggang.
Teacher.
At noon, Xiang Yong's land and water troops gathered at Jing Harbor. In Jinggang Town, although the Eight Immortals tables were all over the street, there was not a single one.
Peace Army. Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon shooting into the sky. The 20,000 Taiping Army soldiers lying in ambush on Tongguan Mountain came out together.
They all raised their machetes and shouted as they ran down the mountain. Like an unstoppable torrent, they rushed over the pontoon bridge and pressed down on Jinggang. Tsang Kwok
Fan looked at the red and yellow scarves all over the mountain and knew that he had been tricked by Young Master Long. He complained endlessly in his heart. Xiangyong only knows that Jinggang only has
Five hundred long hairs, full of confidence of an easy victory, did not expect such an earth-shattering scene to suddenly appear in front of them.
One was so frightened that his legs went soft before they even fought. Wang Wei and Li Xubin could only forcefully hold their ground and command Xiang Yong to meet them.
Enemies. As soon as they received the battle, Xiang Yong was defeated. In Jinggang Town, roars of "Capture Qing Yao Zeng Guofan alive" rang out from all directions.
She called out. Cannons, drums, and footsteps sounded like thunder and lightning. Xiang Yong felt like he had fallen into the Eight Trigrams Formation, he didn't know where to run and could only retreat.
Back to the riverside. Zeng Guofan was angry and anxious, and there was nothing he could do. Seeing a group of Xiang Yong running towards the river, he was furious.
He hurriedly took out the sword given by Wang Shiquan, left the ship and went ashore. He asked Kang Fu to insert a military flag by the river, and he stood on the flag with his sword.
Then he raised his triangular eyes and shouted,"Anyone who crosses this flag will be beheaded immediately!"”
Kui Yong was stunned and stood by the river, not daring to move forward. A few of them wanted to make up for their mistakes, but they braced themselves and turned back. this
At that moment, another wave of defeated courage came to the riverside like a withered leaf that had been swept up by a strong wind. One of them was a small man from Xiangxiang
In a panic, he only cared about running for his life. He didn't see Zeng Guofan standing there and ran past the flagpole in a daze. Zeng Guofan hated
Gritting his teeth, he stabbed forward. The short Yong Ding screamed and rolled on the ground in pain. His blood dyed the river bank red. Taking advantage of Zeng Guo
The moment Fan drew his sword, a group of brave escapees hurriedly bypassed the military flag and rushed to the warship parked by the river.
Without waiting for orders, they pulled the sails and set sail, blindly firing at the two sides. Many Xiang soldiers took advantage of the chaos to take off their uniforms and throw away their swords.
The gun hid behind the bushes and trees. Zhou Guoyu and Wei Kui, the new leader of the Chuanzi Association, led their brothers to rush out from Jinggang Street.
"Catch Zeng Guofan!"”"Kill Wang He and Li Xubin!" "The day of revenge for our brothers has arrived.
It's time!"
Although Zeng Guofan was still standing under the military flag with his sword in hand, it was no longer of any use. A team of brave soldiers bypassed the military flag and jumped onto the warship.
The emperor fled for his life. At the head of the pontoon bridge, Wang He led a group of suicide squads and after a fight, they had the upper hand. The pontoon bridge was taken over by Xiang Yong.
However, a group of defeated soldiers took the opportunity to escape from the pontoon bridge and ran back to Changsha. Zeng Guofan was so angry that he threw his sword on the ground.
He ordered Kang Fu to bring people to dismantle the bridge. Li Xubin ran to Zeng Guofan and asked,"Master Di, don't tear down the bridge, let our brothers find a way.
Let's live! Otherwise, they would all be wiped out. Old man, hurry up and get on the boat. We'll take revenge another day.”
Zeng Guofan looked at the Taiping Army that was pressing down like waves, as well as Xiang Yong who was all in chaos and scrambling to board the ship to escape.
He shook his head helplessly, but he was still unwilling to board the boat. Li Xubin was anxious. Suddenly, someone shouted,"Wei Yongfu, shoot the flag!"
Get that bearded man!"
Before he could finish his sentence, an arrow flew past Zeng Guofan's left ear. He was so scared that his soul almost fell out of his body. Li Xubin and Kang Fu came over.
He forcefully pulled the trawler and immediately set sail.
At this moment, a southwest wind blew on the river surface. The warship was sailing against the wind, and it was very difficult. Li Xubin forced Yong Ding to disembark.
On the shore to pull the rope, Chu Ruhang urged Shui Yong to shoot to cover. All the ships fired their cannons at the same time and finally managed to catch up with the Taiping Army.
Suppress it. The brave men who could not get on the boat looked around for a way, crossing mountains and ridges, and fled in the direction of Changsha. From the start of battle
It was only a meal's time before the entire line collapsed.
Zeng Guofan sat on the trawling net, listening to the pursuers behind him shouting,"Capture Demon Head Zeng alive", and watching the two sides fly over like locusts.
The arrow, as well as his own flustered appearance, he was angry and embarrassed. Ever since he left Hengzhou, he had fought two battles with Long Hair.
It ended in a crushing defeat. He did not know how the battle situation at Xiangtan was like. Long Hair was so crafty, he was afraid that he would most likely fail. Hard training
Xiang Yong, who had trained for a year and hoped to build a great achievement, was actually so vulnerable. Zeng Guofan was extremely disheartened. The emperor's great trust, respectfully
The trust of Wang, Scholar Su, and Master Jing Hai, and his own ambitions were about to turn into bubbles. The big ones in the "Exhortation to the Yue Bandits"
If he said that, he would forever become a laughing stock for his descendants. Thinking of this, Zeng Guofan was so ashamed that he couldn't even put himself to shame. He closed his eyes and suddenly,
However, Bao Qibao's ferocious and angry face, Xu Youren and Tao Enpei's cold and hateful faces, and Luo Bingzhang's gloating face appeared.
Kong, as well as all kinds of malicious faces in Changsha officialdom, were annoyed and confused. Slowly, these faces merged into one.
Face. The face was sallow and narrow, and the two sharp eyes stared at him coldly from behind the lenses.
He squeezed out a hoarse voice from his throat,"First Lord, if you don't die in the cell, you'll die by the sword.”Zeng Guofan opened his eyes in shock.
Eyes, wasn't this Sima Tiezui from twenty years ago? Shouts of "Capture Demon Head Ceng alive" came from behind.
The closer it got, the louder it got. He was certain that the day that Sima Tiezui had predicted had arrived, and he would definitely die today. he knew very well that he
He had already formed a great enmity with the Taiping Army. Once he was caught, there were only a few outcomes: Cramp, skin, light the sky lamp, dismember, gouge out
He was beheaded and beheaded. Each of them made his heart skip a beat. He imagined the pain of being tortured, and the blood in his body froze.
"No! I am a second-grade official of the imperial court. How can I be humiliated by Long Hair? I would rather die.”Zeng Guofan set himself down
Make up your mind.
His eyes drooped and his face was pale. He looked listlessly at the rapid river flowing north. I can't imagine that this one
The beautiful and passionate river water that he loved so much would actually mercilessly devour his body today. "Fate, this is fate
Luck!" Zeng Guofan sighed in despair.
Kang Fu entered the cabin and saw Zeng Guofan sitting on the stool like a dead man, his eyes already numb. He suddenly realized the situation.
Not good. Kang Fu quietly retreated and sat outside the cabin, not taking another step.
When the boat passed Baishazhou, Zeng Guofan saw a whirlpool beside the cabin. He pushed open the hatch, closed his eyes, and jumped into the vortex.
Go. Kang Fu heard the sound of water and saw the hatch open. He knew that Zeng Guofan had jumped into the water. He shouted,"Save Master Zeng" and jumped into the whirlpool.
In the middle. Everyone on the ship was shocked and rushed to the side of the ship. Kang Fu was a good swimmer and quickly pushed Zeng Guofan out of the water. The people on the boat caught him.
He carried him into the cabin. Seeing Zeng Guofan's ashen face, everyone was worried that he was dead. Kang Fu put his hand on Zeng Guofan's nose and felt something.
Only when the thread of Qi is in and out can I be at ease. Everyone was busy changing his clothes. After a long time, Zeng Guofan opened his eyes and saw Kang Fushi.
She stood at the side, knowing that he was the one who went into the water to save her. He glared at Kang Fu,"You want Long Hair to insult me?"
What?"
Kang Fu was quick-witted and quickly smiled."Milord, just now Changsha Flying Horse reported that Deputy General Ta had won a complete victory in Xiangtan!”
Zeng Guofan said coldly,"The boat travels on the water, and the flying horse reports. How do you know?"”
Kang Fu replied unhurriedly,"We encountered cavalry who reported victory on the land at Pushan. To reassure you, we sent someone to take a small boat."
I'm here to tell you."
"Where is he?"
"He's in the back cabin. I'll go get him."
"No need." Zeng Guofan closed his eyes again.
Kang Fu said softly to Zeng Guofan,"Milord, rest in peace! We'll talk about it after we get to Changsha."
Zeng Guofan could no longer speak. He lay flat on the bed and let the net drag him to Changsha. Along the way, the sound of wind and waves,
He always suspected that Long Hair was chasing him until he got close to Water Land Continent.
