When Lei Hu led the army south from Jingdezhen, he didn't feel happy after completing a job, but looked a little depressed. The upper-level officers of the cavalry division of the Guangfu Army who were responsible for contacting the Taiping Army were also unhappy.

"Lin Fengxiang turned out to be a villain." Song Wu expressed his attitude.

"Did Lin Fengxiang arrange for his subordinates to do this?" Zhao Di also questioned Lin Fengxiang and Lin Fengxiang's subordinates.

Escorting the cannon to Jingdezhen is already a very hard job. If it weren't for the fact that after learning that Britain had strengthened its support for the Qing army, the General Staff thought it was necessary to support the Taiping army, and the Liberation Army would have a large offensive direction, and there would be no need to consider running thousands of miles to the north of Jiangxi.

When the troops arrived in Jingdezhen, they learned that Lin Fengxiang was not in Jingdezhen, but went to the direction of Jiujiang. The battle in Jiujiang was critical, and Lei Hu didn't feel that Lin Fengxiang had anything unacceptable to do this. However, Lei Hu later appeared, and he may have been wrong.

"I really didn't know before, there are so many rules for righteousness in the rivers and lakes!" The malice on Lei Hu's face may have remembered what happened at that time, and the muscles on his face were slightly twisted, as if he was about to laugh.

Song Wu and the other officers who participated in the negotiation meeting also had similar expressions, remembering the situation at that time, no matter what they were angry about, everyone still had a feeling that not smiling was not enough to be lyrical. It's not a laugh of approval, it's a laugh from the heart.

Seeing that Lei Hu and the others were hurriedly preparing to get rid of the artillery, Lin Fengxiang's subordinates said that they hoped to let the Liberation Army send this batch of artillery to Jiujiang, and the price could be doubled if it was sent to Jiujiang. How could this trick of deceiving children bluff Lei Hu? Sending artillery to Jiujiang is not sending artillery but going to war. Lei Hu bluntly rejected the request of Lin Fengxiang's subordinates.

Seeing that Lei Hu was not sent, Lin Fengxiang's subordinates began to talk about "righteousness in the rivers and lakes". Although the rhetoric seems to be righteous and strict, as if the Guangfu Army owes the Taiping Army a great favor. But Lei Hu still understood that the Taiping army was frightened when fighting against the Hunan army, and hoped to get the support of the Guangfu army. But they didn't have any bargaining chips that could make the Liberation Army obey them, and they could only put the "righteousness of the rivers and lakes" on the table.

That meeting was the one that Lei Hu and others had heard the most about the "righteous spirit of the rivers and lakes", and the generals of the Taiping Army were simply lotus flowers, telling all kinds of singing and weeping stories about righteous anger. Lei Hu had to maintain his dignity, but Song Wu was actually not very good at this kind of verbal dispute. Zhao Di saw that these two were silent, and he opened his mouth, "Everyone, I think you should say this to the Heavenly King before the Heavenly King kills the East King." Or tell these stories to the King of Heaven and the King of Wings. ”

After Zhao Di's words were finished, Lin Fengxiang's subordinates all shut their mouths. The expressions that seemed to have eaten poison really made the brothers of the Liberation Army who participated in the meeting feel very happy. It's just that hitting people doesn't slap their faces, and scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings. Zhao Di said this, but it also gave Lin Fengxiang's subordinates an excuse to make it difficult for the recovery army.

Lin Fengxiang's subordinates first moved the artillery, and then kept silent about the silver. Lei Hu asked once, and Lin Fengxiang's subordinates claimed that "the silver is still being counted." ”

Playing tricks and waiting for the trick to frighten Lei Hu, as soon as the order was given, the cavalry division of the Guangfu Army began to pull out the camp and move south. Until Lei Hu's troops went away, Lin Fengxiang's subordinates didn't send the silver.

"Commander, aren't you afraid of being blamed?" Song Wu was a little worried.

"Divisional commander, is this the Governor's arrangement?" Zhao Di is not very optimistic either.

Lei Hu sneered, "The governor said, money doesn't matter. Once the artillery arrived, we were able to rest assured. I think so, since Lin Fengxiang's subordinates treat it like this, then we will also talk about righteousness in the future. They do the first year of junior high school, and we do the fifteenth. ”

Sometimes, it's a way to understand things. In the rules of the rivers and lakes, if you accept something sent by others thousands of miles away, you will not give money. This means that both sides are severing. Now there is really no reason for the Guangfu Army to maintain a very good relationship with the Taiping Army.

After listening to Lei Hu's explanation, Song Wu said: "It's good that the governor doesn't blame him." ”

Lei Hu sneered: "I don't want the governor to blame, this time the loss of the embankment is made up for the loss of the embankment, so I can only go to Fuzhou and get this batch of artillery money from the Hunan army!" ”

"Very good!" Zhao Dixi said, "Just look at how capable the Hunan army is." ”

Freed from the task of protecting one hundred and fifty artillery pieces with artillery carts, the cavalry division left Jingdezhen and greatly improved its marching degree. The 8,000-strong troops rushed straight to the city of Fuzhou, which was also guarded by 8,000 men.

Hearing the news that the Guangfu Army went south and went straight to Fuzhou, Zeng Guohua is now faced with a three-choice question. Either he stayed in Fuzhou to continue fighting, or left Fuzhou with his troops, or Zeng Guohua himself left Fuzhou City with a reason for "Ding Wei". Undoubtedly, Zeng Guohua could not make the choice of giving up Fuzhou, and he even welcomed the Guangfu Army to attack Fuzhou. In addition to setting up bamboo sticks and trap positions outside Fuzhou City, Zeng Guohua also ambushed a thousand Qing troops in the south of the city, preparing to send this "strange soldier" to raid the flank of the Guangfu Army when the Guangfu Army attacked Fuzhou City. If it can succeed, the Qing army in the city will open the city and kill it, and it will be able to inflict heavy losses on the Guangfu army in one fell swoop.

On the afternoon of July 5, the Guangfu Army arrived 3o miles outside Fuzhou and began to camp.

On July 6, the day of the father of Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guohua's brothers, the troops of the Liberation Army divided into four teams and began to surround the city of Fuzhou. This action was completely unexpected by Zeng Guohua. He knew that the number of troops of the Guangfu Army was not large, and compared with the Qing army in the city, the Guangfu Army had no advantage in strength. In such a situation, the Guangfu Army is still divided into four teams to surround Fuzhou City, what kind of trick is this playing? Could it be that the Guangfu Army is very confident in itself, thinking that it can surround Fuzhou City on all sides and wipe out the Qing army in the city?

Seeing a force of more than 1,000 people heading straight to the south of the city, Zeng Guoquan also mobilized the troops in the city, preparing to go out of the city to attack the Guangfu army when the south of the city and the Guangfu army began to fight.

In the hidden place at the head of the city, Zeng Guohua observed the movements of the troops of the Guangfu Army with clairvoyance. Unlike the conservative and cautious Hunan army, the troops of the Guangfu Army acted quickly, and all actions were not advanced in arrays. However, he saw that the troops of about 1,000 people of the Guangfu Army formed more than 20 columns and marched south. Some of the columns also carried horse-drawn artillery. This is completely different from the neat array adopted by the Hunan army.

Zeng Guohua initially sighed in his heart that the Guangfu Army was running fast enough, but after watching for a while, the column of his current Guangfu Army was divided into two parts, one part of which was towards the south gate of Fuzhou City, which had the meaning of blocking the city gate. In addition, the troops of about 500 people were divided into more than ten small columns, and they went straight to the direction of the Hunan army that was ambushed in the south.
