At this time, all the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army gathered together, and Li Hongzhang and others also put down their affairs and rushed over for a meeting.

First of all, of course, it is to introduce newcomers who have just rushed over to work.

"General Qiyu, I'll wait for the generals of the righteous army to arrive!" Qin Qiong stepped forward to report.

"Please!" Bao Hong had already prepared and hurriedly invited them in.

"General, an old friend of the students also came to serve. His talent is no less than that of a student. Immediately afterwards, Li Hongzhang, who was naturally a visiting old friend, stepped forward.

"Mr. Li's friend, he must also be an immortal, please see him quickly!" Bao Hong responded with a smile, what Li Hongzhang said was naturally a good friend Zeng Guofan.

Those men were waiting outside the tent, and when they were allowed to enter the tent, they entered the tent one after another.

The most eye-catching thing is the one who is nine feet long, dignified in appearance, and has a stable figure. As soon as you stop there, a heavy momentum arises spontaneously, and people subconsciously appreciate its calmness and reliance.

can have such a temperament, so that Hou Zhou Taizu is willing to pass on the throne to his nephew, it is naturally Chai Rong.

"This righteous man's name is Chai Rong, and he can be described as both civil and military, and a large part of the planning of my volunteer army team was planned by him." Qin Qiong stepped forward and introduced.

"Oh! It is very rare to have an all-round talent who is both civil and military, so virtuous and capable enough to coordinate the overall situation! Bao Hong greeted with a smile, "It's really a hero in troubled times, and only in turmoil and chaos like the Yellow Turban Rebellion will so many talents emerge!" ”

"When I heard about the general's repeated defeats to Zhang Chu's Yellow Turban, I yearn for it, and I hate to fight to the death for the general immediately, fight bloodily, and wrap the body in horse leather!" Chai Rong hurriedly responded, quietly complimenting Bao Hong's achievements, and expressing his determination to serve, and his language art was even exquisite.

"This gentleman's name is Yu Yunwen, and he is another person in the army who is both civil and military, and most of the decisions in the army are decided by him and the Chai Rong brothers."

Qin Qiong's next introduction is the young scribe beside him, this person is dressed in a green robe, gentle and elegant, with a pair of bright and clear eyes, as if you can see him at a glance, he is a real and clear existence in front of you.

"Seeing Mr. Yu's clear eyes, I know what it means to be clear-minded and clear inside and out! In such a state, you can grasp the key to any problem in your eyes and solve it easily! Bao Hong laughed.

Yu Yunwen, a scholar who resolutely resisted gold, attracted the attention of the superior with his eyes.

"There is this Meng Hui brother, and his ability to lead troops should be the best among the generals of our righteous army." Qin Qiong continued, "If the leader charges into battle and breaks the formation to kill the enemy, there is no problem for us and the others. But if it is said that precise command, such as controlling the army with arms and fingers, wandering, interspersing, building defenses, and protecting villages and towns, only the Meng Heng brothers can do it. ”

Bao Hong nodded and said with a smile: "This is rare, there is no strong city wall as a barrier on the village, and it is really remarkable to be able to protect the village under the attack of the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" On behalf of many people, I would like to thank the general!

"The general's words are serious!" Meng Heng hurriedly responded, "These are all things that should be done in the future, how can you be thanked by the general?" What's more, the general has done much more than under him, and he admires him so much that he is willing to charge into battle and die on the battlefield for his subordinates! ”

"If you come to help me Bao Hong, don't talk nonsense about dying on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, etc.!" Bao Hong said with a smile, "We not only want to kill the enemy and restore the peace of heaven and earth, but also keep our useful bodies and do more things for the people, don't you say?" ”

"What the general said is very true, we must obey it!" The generals answered one after another.

"There is still this gentleman left, I think it is Mr. Hongzhang's old friend!" Bao Hong greeted with a smile, "It would be a great honor for Mr. to come!" ”

"The general is gracious! The general fights against the yellow scarf, calms the ****, and it is the honor of the students to come and offer their meager strength! Zeng Guofan hurriedly said politely.

"Mr. is talented, he can't ask for it, how can it be said that it is a meager effort!" Bao Hong smiled, "It is with all of you who have come to help that our next things can be implemented." Otherwise, as soon as we divide our troops, our strength will be greatly weakened. ”

"By the way, the general said that there is something important to discuss?" Zong Ze, who was sitting on the side, asked.

"That's ............"

Bao Hong immediately said the two things he had said to the generals again. The main topic is to divide the troops and help the wind, and the secondary topic is to finish all affairs as soon as possible and prepare to leave Yangzhou.

"The first question is who will temporarily replace the right wind supporter?" Bao Hong introduced the whole situation, and asked, "Sect Elder, Hongzhang, you are my right and left hand when I was in charge of Right Fufeng, who do you think is suitable for this position?" ”

Zong Ze and Li Hongzhang glanced at each other, and Zong Ze took the lead in speaking, "The general also said just now, this time we will go back not only to govern the place, but more importantly, to cooperate with the army to fight against Liangzhou Qianghu." This is much more difficult than simple governance! ”

"Mm-hmm, we've talked about this before!" Bao Hong nodded, "But what does this have to do with our decision on the candidate?" With your abilities, it's easy to do this job well. I still have faith in you! ”

"The general has confidence in us and others, but doesn't Your Majesty have confidence in the ministers of the court? There are many big people in the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, can't they still govern a Fufeng? Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

"Well, we discussed it before, Your Majesty must be unable to allocate more troops to the Xiliang battlefield, so I hope that this time the right Fufeng can well cooperate with the pace of the war of Ma Yuan and others, and there will be no accidents. Therefore, no matter how new talents and filial piety are honest, or whether they are able to be ministers, they have not been appointed, but have chosen me, the right support of my predecessor, and they can directly start working without any running-in. ”

"So, is there any doubt about what the general should do?" Zong Ze said with a smile.

"Let you two go back?" Having said this, how could Bao Hong not understand what they were trying to say?

"In terms of military affairs, I think Rengui is fully capable of taking over my position." Zong Ze said with a smile, "I also know all the generals in the army, and I have also been in contact with the new ones, as long as the generals work together, there is no need to keep my old man here!" ”

"In terms of government affairs, Lu Deng is also very quick to get started. Originally, it was just right for Lu Deng to take over my position, but now, I recommend Mr. Yu, Mr. Chai, and Guo Fan to take up the post together. Lu Deng went to Fufeng with me, after all, I had to transport grain, grass, clothing, and various chores to support the war, and it would be better to have someone to help! ”

"The three of them are jointly responsible for government affairs in the military?" Now that he has figured it out, Bao Hong, the successor of Zong and Li, is also thinking about it, but he doesn't understand Li Hongzhang's proposal that Yu Yunwen, Zeng Guofan, and Chai Rong jointly handle government affairs.

"After all, a few people have just arrived, and we can't put government affairs on them all at once." Li Hongzhang explained with a smile, "So it happens to divide the Chinese army, cavalry, and left and right parts for them to deal with." When they are familiar with the work at hand, they can send people out to lead the troops and entrust government affairs to one person! ”
