Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi had worked together in the Imperial Academy for a year. They were of similar age and were both from Hunan, so they were close. daoguang
Twenty-one years ago, Hu Linyi's father, Hu Dayuan, died of illness. Hu Linyi returned to Yiyang with his father's coffin. Zeng and Hu were there.
They broke up that year. At the end of the three-year mourning period, Hu Linyi donated the prefect of Anshun Prefecture in Guizhou Province, and later changed to the prefect of Zhenyuan Prefecture and the prefect of Liping Prefecture. in
As a prefect, he was promoted to Guidong Dao because of his meritorious service in organizing local soldiers to suppress the unrest of the Miao people. Wu Wenrong was the governor of Guizhou and valued Hu very much.
Lin Yi's military talent, after Wuchang acting Huguang governor, urgently asked the court to transfer Hu Linyi to Hubei support. Hu and 600 local soldiers
When he arrived at Jinkou, Wu Wenrong had already died. Hu did not want to join the Jingzhou general, Tai Chong, so he left 600 local soldiers in Jin.
He went to Changsha alone and discussed with Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang.
"Brother Runzhi!" Zeng Guofan looked at Hu Linyi, who was dressed in military uniform, and said affectionately,"I haven't seen you for many years.
Compared to him, he looks even more heroic."
Hu Linyi was also very happy to say,"Since the twenty-first year of Daoguang, my father abandoned me and Lin Yi left the capital to return home. I have been separated from my brother."
It had been 14 years. There is no day when the thoughts of clouds and trees do not sprout. Brother Zhiren has been proud of himself these years, and now he leads 20,000 soldiers and 100 generals.
Yuan, save the country's difficulties, ease the king's worries, Lin Yi can not help but admire him to the extreme.”
The two of them went to the study hand in hand, and the bodyguards served tea. Zeng Guofan said to Hu Linyi affectionately,"In August of the year before last, Guofan unfortunately heard
After his mother's death, he hurried back to Xiangxiang with the examiner of Jiangxi Province. Later, I was ordered by the imperial court to help with the regimental training. I wanted to carry the mountains and gallop the river to save my barren village.
In case, he came to the province with Zhang Shiqing Zhongcheng, Jiang Minqiao, Zuo Ji Gao to recruit local soldiers and set up a military camp. Who knew that Guofan was not leading the army
Only then, when he first fought with Long Hair, he was defeated twice. Fortunately, with the help of Laita, Luo, Peng and Yang, he was able to avoid being completely annihilated.
Forgive me, and I will be re-established. Brother Tai's training has achieved remarkable results. My brother, Ji Gao, Luo Shan and others often encourage each other with brother Tai's great talent.
It is said that Taiduan has great talent and is enough to save today's turbulent situation.”
"Brother Di Sheng is too polite. Guizhou is a remote place, what Lin Yi did is really not worth mentioning. Long-haired giant bandits, they're tough
Good at fighting is rare in ancient and modern times, and it is common for military strategists to win and lose. Lin Yi now sees the military camp of Xiang Yong neat and tidy, with bright armor. He will win a great victory in the future. He will certainly be able to participate in it.
Divination."
Just as they were talking, Zuo Zongtang heard the news and rushed over. Hu Linyi's wife is Tao Shu's seventh daughter Jingjuan. In terms of seniority, Zuo Zongtang is better than Hu Linyi.
A generation higher. But in fact, Zuo Hutong was four months older than Hu Zuo, so the two of them always called each other brothers. exchange pleasantries
Later, Zong Tang said,"I heard that you came to Hubei with 600 local soldiers at the invitation of Wu Wenjie." Now the Duke of Wu has died for his country, benevolence
Brother He Jin, how much more?"
"Lin Yi is here to discuss this matter with the two brothers.”
"Xiang Yong is about to go up north to aid Hubei and lacks a general. Brother is ten times stronger than me. If you don't mind, this troop will be led by my brother.
Let Guofan and Ji Gao raise money for your brother to fill in the personnel, be a Xiao He who guards the country, appeases the people, provides food and pay, and never cuts off the grain road!”had
Guo Fan laughed.
Hu Linyi waved his hand repeatedly and said,"Brother Disheng, you really know how to joke. You've worked hard and started a business. You're the Xiang that everyone hopes for."
Brave commander, Lin Yi how can look up to brother's back.”
Zuo Zongtang felt that Zeng Guofan's words were somewhat hypocritical, so he said decisively,"There's no need for Disheng to give up the position of the chief, nor does Runzhi.
I'm going back to Guizhou. Six hundred Qian Yong from Hunan Fan library pay, Runzhi will assist in washing life, together with the north!”
Because Zuo Zongtang suggested to reward Xiang Yong at the playground outside the south gate last year, after Jinggang's defeat, he went to the boat to reprimand Zeng Guofan, making Luo
Bingzhang admired Zuo Zongtang's outstanding knowledge. In their daily interactions, Luo Bingzhang often praised Zuo Zongtang's courage and ability to do things.
Therefore, he valued Zuo Zongtang very much, to the extent that he listened to him.
Therefore, Zuo Zongtang could use the tone of a governor to make arrangements for this matter.
Hu Linyi was worried about the lack of food and pay for these 600 local soldiers, so he generously agreed,"Lin Yi will obey Ji Gao's orders and from now on,
Brother Disheng will be a deputy general."
Zeng Guofan also modestly gave way and decided on this matter. Hu Linyi said,"Lin Yi was taken in by Brother Disheng, and I have no way to repay him.
He presented Cao Cao's plan to cut off food in Wuchao and defeat Yuan Shu as a gift to meet him.”
Zeng Guofan said happily,"Please tell me the details."”
Hu Linyi said,"I have been in Jinkou for more than ten days. I have found out that most of the Long-haired grain is gathered in Tongcheng and Chongyang." This time, we should split up.
The leader took action and sent an army to attack Tongcheng and Chongyang first to seize their food and grass.”
Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang said almost at the same time,"This is a good plan."
A few days later, Zeng Guofan's Xiangyong Army set off from Changsha to rescue Wuchang. These three paths were:
Taqibu, Luo Zenan, and the others led seven thousand troops along Miluo, Yuezhou, Linxiang, Puqi, Xianning, and Zhifang into Wuchang.
The second route was led by Hu Linyi, Li Yuandu, and the others. After capturing the Taiping Army's rations in Tongcheng and Chongyang, they would join Xianning.
The main road attack Wuchang; The third road is the navy, led by Peng and Yang, out of Dongting Lake, from Linxiang, Jiayu, Jinkou eastward into Wuchang.
The three groups of people were about to set off when the Qinbing reported that the governor of Hubei, Qinglin, had brought a thousand hungry and tired soldiers to the Xiangchun Gate. Zeng Guofan heard about it
"It seems that Wuchang has been lost."”
