Li Hongzhang agreed to Mai Ke's invitation to grab the world's pie, which means that in the near future, the two will be in the same boat.

This is a key strategic alliance and a basis for addressing medium- and immediate issues.

When the two have a common foundation, when they look at the problems in front of them, those problems become less important.

Some questions are more straightforward and not a problem at all.

For example, in the future, Huai Yong, led by Li Hongzhang, will never take the initiative to harm the Heavenly Army when he confronts the Heavenly Army!

At the time that Mai Ke thought was appropriate, these Huai Yonghui announced their independence from the Manchu Qing and joined the Heavenly Army.

No matter what kind of action, the impact on the center of the decisive battle between the two rivers will be fatal!

When Huai Yong went all out to help the Manchus, the Qing army was in a serious disadvantageous situation, and Huai Yong's inaction and the final counterattack would definitely make the Manchu situation worse.

The two of them muttered together, and they had a rough arrangement for everything.

The two looked at each other and smiled, expressing their satisfaction with the gift they had secretly prepared for the Manchu Qing.

"Now it's time to talk about the release, right?"

Finally, there is the problem at hand, although Li Hongzhang is not as urgent as before, he still has to get an accurate explanation.

Mai Ke smiled and said: "Brother Shaoquan, this matter is like this, do you think it will work-I will not stop Brother Zhaoqing from going back, but if he himself does not want to go back, I will also support him, and I hope that Brother Shaoquan will not force him to go back, what do you think of this?"

Unwilling to go back, willing to stay in the Heavenly Army? This is impossible!

"No problem! If he is willing to stay here, I will go back alone!" Li Hongzhang readily agreed.

"That's very good, come here, ask Chen Yucheng to bring Li Zhaoqing here!" Mai Ke ordered.

One person ran away quickly and gave Chen Yucheng an order.

Since the armistice. Li Zhaoqing was handed over to Chen Yucheng to take care of.

It didn't take much time, and two handsome teenagers came together.

The two entered the house, Chen Yucheng handed over the order to Mai Ke, and Li Zhaoqing asked the second brother why did you come here.

Chen Yucheng said to Mai Ke: "Then I'll go first!"

He said to Li Zhaoqing again: "Second brother, hurry up, let's continue when we are done." ”

Li Zhaoqing said: "Then big brother wait for me." I'm done right away. ”

What's going on?

What the hell is going on here?

Li Hongzhang and Mai Ke are all second monks!

You were still alive and dead just now, why did you call yourself a brother in a blink of an eye?

"Ahem, Yucheng, don't go, what's going on, tell me quickly!" Mai Ke hurriedly called Chen Yucheng, who was going out.

Mai Ke's curiosity amused again.

"What's going on?" Li Hongzhang also asked about the sixth brother.

As a result, the two complemented each other, and of course there was a lot of repetition, telling what happened between the two during this time.

Actually, things are also very simple.

After Li Zhaoqing was handed over to Chen Yucheng to take care of, Chen Yucheng immediately untied the rope that bound him.

But Li Zhaoqing, who was full of unconvinced, took this opportunity. Fought with Chen Yucheng again.

He thought to himself, I'm not as good as you in my work, and you're not an opponent in martial arts, right? I'm the result of more than ten years of hard practice.

He didn't think about what would happen to Chen Yucheng after the victory, he just wanted to find a place to go.

But the wish immediately turned into disappointment!

Still only used one, in fact, it didn't count a move, Chen Yucheng just stretched out two fingers, and grabbed Li Zhaoqing's carotid artery acupoint at once, which immediately made him lose the ability to move.

"Anyway, I'm idle. Hitting a child on a rainy day is also idle. Chen Yucheng said leisurely.

This made Li Zhaoqing angry. I almost didn't jump like a thunderbolt!

As soon as Chen Yucheng let go, he immediately changed another set of violent tricks to attack Chen Yucheng.

He doesn't think about it now, and he doesn't have any hope of winning, as long as he hits him twice to relieve his hatred. That's it.

Who would have thought that Chen Yucheng would not give him this opportunity!

Two fingers stretched out, and two more fingers restrained him.

Only then did Li Zhaoqing recognize his head and realize that the martial arts of this kid on the other side were unfathomable!

He suddenly thought of the old master who had taught him martial arts since he was a child. Although he is a good person, his martial arts are so bad that he is scum!

If only this kid had such good kung fu!

As soon as he had this idea, he immediately said to Chen Yucheng: "Why don't you become my master?" I recognize you as a teacher, learn your skills, and then the master and apprentice will dominate the world and fight all over the world!"

Chen Yucheng suddenly couldn't cry or laugh!

This brain hole is too big, isn't it?

It's definitely not okay to be a master!

Wait, if he is a brother, I can teach him.

So he said, "You are really fooling around! I absolutely cannot be your master! You can't betray your master!"

Li Zhaoqing suddenly became a bitter face.

"However, we can be brothers, and then I'll call you one or two, I don't know if you're willing?"

Needless to say, apprentices are all willing, let alone brothers! This is too willing!

So, the two became brothers.

In terms of age, the two were born in the same year and month, but Chen Yucheng was one day older than Li Zhaoqing.

As a result, Chen Yucheng became the eldest brother, and Li Zhaoqing became the second brother.

The two immediately began to teach martial arts.

You say that in this case, how does Li Zhaoqing want to go back?

These two brothers, now the whole brother is good, how can others interfere?

Mai Ke and Li Hongzhang looked at each other and smiled, and they both said that they could not do anything.

However, the content of the laughter of the two is different, and Li Hongzhang's laughter is a bitter smile.

Mai Ke's smile looked a bit like a successful scheme.

Li Hongzhang simply didn't mention this stubble, and instructed the sixth brother to study martial arts hard.

Of course, Mai Ke had to cooperate and told Chen Yucheng to be a good master.

When Li Hongzhang was leaving, he revealed a piece of information.

So a battle ensued.

This intelligence case hides the contradiction between Li Hongzhang and Hunan general Luo Zenan.

The two of them were both envoys of Zeng Guofan, one was a civil servant and the other was a military general, so there would have been no crossing.

Coincidentally, once Li Hongzhang went out on business. was attacked by ordinary mountain bandits, and was in danger, Li Hongzhang sent someone to ask Luo Zenan who was stationed nearby for help, but who knew that he refused.

That time, Li Hongzhang died nine times in his life, and finally disguised himself as a beggar to escape with his life. Since then, he has formed a mortal enmity with Luo Zenan.

This kind of feud really can't be resolved, although the two will still work together on the surface in the future, but once there is a chance, Li Hongzhang will definitely avenge this revenge, otherwise, he will not be able to turn a blind eye!

Now, it's such a great opportunity!

He learned that a partial division of the Hunan army had entered the Lianghuai region, which was Luo Zenan's troops, even if it was not led by Luo Zenan himself. must also be his henchman!

If you are lucky enough to catch Luo Zenan, then it will be as you wish!

This matter, if it was before reaching an agreement with Mai Ke, he would definitely not do it; how could they all be from the same trench; now, he didn't even have hope for the Manchus, would he still care about letting some of it disappear?

Li Hongzhang pointed out their march route. And after a certain amount of time, he went back.

After going back. He immediately packed up and evacuated the inner city to return to the Manchu central camp.

Mai Ke called the county lord of Xiaodao and Cheng Tongjin and assigned the task.

The goal is to eat this lone Hunan army led by Luo Zenan!

According to Li Hongzhang's intelligence, one of the routes that this army had to pass through was at the foot of Bagong Mountain, an ancient battlefield.

The time should be this evening.

Since you have to deal with this Hunan army. It is necessary to arrange the troops participating in the battle within an hour so that they can seize the fighters and catch the big fish.

I can't say it, I still have to use the special ability of the spirit rhino to move. Bring the troops over, otherwise even the original special forces will have to barely run there.

However, the area passed through was occupied by the enemy, and the probability of not encountering the enemy was simply negligible.

At the same time, all your energy is spent on marching, and you don't have to fight.

Mai Ke left 20,000 men here to defend this important stronghold, waiting for the arrival of the Northwest Corps.

Then Cheng Tongjin's troops, the special forces of the county lord of Xiaodao, were divided into two groups and began to transport, and Mai Ke also went with him this time.

A second later, all the troops arrived at the foot of Bagong Mountain, and the two groups of troops lay in ambush according to the original arrangement.

Mai Ke took a look at the topography of Bagong Mountain and found that it was still very different from what it looked like in ancient times.

The biggest difference is that in ancient times, there was a deep state of grass and trees everywhere, so the ancients said that "on Bagong Mountain, the grass and trees are soldiers".

But now, most of the mountains are rocky and bare, and even if there are some grass and trees in some places, they are all low and dry, and there is not even a soldier's hair, so it has nothing to do with the soldiers.

The soldiers who were watching themselves, though they tried their best to hide themselves, were still mostly exposed, because there was no vegetation to use.

This is not possible, it is clear at a glance, and the enemy has seen it from afar.

The key factor is to have grass and trees!

In need of plants and trees, Mai Ke naturally thought of lignin professionals.

So, he tried it himself, and with a wave of his hand, a ball of wood prima flew out!

"Huh!"

A piece of about 10 square meters of grass and trees rises from the ground.

The height is about one meter three or four, which is just enough to hide the sitting posture of people!

If you lie down, it's even more hidden.

So Mai Ke ordered all the lignin experts, all the experts who mixed the elements containing lignin, to work together to create a deep grass and trees!

So, everyone was busy, and five minutes later, the entire peak of Bagong Mountain was raised by one meter and a half.

The plants and trees created by these creations are all in line with this season, and they are all integrated with the Bagong Mountain.

When everyone was ready, a large group of Xiangyong appeared in the distance, and the front row was a field of cavalry.

The head general is Li Xuyi, the younger brother of the famous Hunan tyrant Li Xubin, who is not only as fierce as his brother Li Xubin, but also cunning as a fox, both civil and military.

One of the soldiers who was traveling with him pointed to Bagong Mountain and said, "The grass and trees in this Bagong Mountain really look like privates, should we search them?"

Li Xuyi laughed: "Shall we wait for Fu Jian and Fu Rong to go down, rest for a while, and occupy this mountain later!".
