The trump card of the monk king is his Mongolian horse team, chasing the south and chasing the north, which can be regarded as the hero of the previous generation.

But the Twist Army also has a horse team, and the Twist Army's horse team is growing stronger year by year. Although the Mongolian horse team is fast, the twist army is also extremely alert, you chase me, you go and I disturb, come and go. The monk king followed behind the butt of the twisting army, exhausted, but he could never chase an end.

The rest of the armies involved in the suppression of the twist, under the method of warfare of the monk king, it is difficult to cooperate effectively with each other; There are also many habits that have become accustomed to war; Or beggar-thy-neighbor, friendly troops are as immobile as a mountain, in short, it is good that bandits do not disturb my jurisdiction.

Cixi thought: If "he" is now in China, where does he need to be so distressed!

The problem is that "he" is not in the country right now.

King Gong decided: to transfer Zeng Guofan to be stationed on the border of Hubei and Anhui as a minister of Qincha, and to command and suppress the twist.

When the monarch and ministers played right, King Gong said: "Liangjiang can be temporarily handed over to Li Hongzhang to handle the grain platform for Zeng Guofan, and it should be the most suitable between them and disciples." ”

Cixi did not object to this arrangement, but other parties could not be without doubts: "What about Monk Lingqin? Will there be any opinions? ”

King Gong hesitated for a moment and said: "Zeng Guofan is the most prudent in using troops, and he is well versed in the principle of static braking, which just complements Monk Greenqin. This move is beneficial to the country, and as a relative of the country, Monk Greenqin is the same body as the country, and knows the righteousness, so he must be able to take the overall situation into account. ”

The so-called "complement each other" implies that the monk king is reckless and unplanned, and must be corrected by Zeng Guofan; "As a relative of the country, be the same body as the country", is to force the monk king not to accept this arrangement; "Knowing the righteousness" is to acknowledge Cixi's worries. The monk king will more or less "give birth to opinions"; zuihou。 He can only be counted on to "take care of the overall situation".

King Gong's words. Of course, Cixi understood. As for whether the monk king can really "take care of the overall situation", she has no spectrum in her heart, but there is no more way to do it at the moment, so she has to sigh lightly: "That's right, just do it." ”

King Gong added: "Please let the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces be relieved, Monk Greenqin will use his life extra to repay the grace of heaven." ”

The meaning of this sentence is: Monk Lingqin does not want Zeng Guofan to share the merits, and he is also concerned with the prestige of the first generation. Twisting must be done with all its might. The situation seems to be that Guan Zhuofan went to Jinling to suppress Hong Yang, and the Jintai opened up the city, Zeng Guoquan was greatly stimulated, desperately climbed first, and finally recovered the city.

Zeng Guofan is the "whip" thrown on the head of Seng Lingqin.

The intention is haode, that is, don't overdo it, poke out some basket.

Wen Xiang saw Cixi's uneasiness, and said: "The Empress Dowager of the Holy Mother, using the Zeng State Domain to suppress the bandits, does not seek immediate success. As long as the situation can be controlled, wait until Xuan Jun returns home. ”

Cixi's brow furrowed: Exactly. As long as the situation does not continue to deteriorate before the Xuan army returns home, when "he" returns, no matter how fierce the bandits are, how can they be one of the Xuan army's blows?

If you think about it carefully, it turns out that there are all four corners, and the possible unpleasantness of the monk king has become completely unimportant.

So he drafted the decree, used the seal, and sent it to Jiangning in an urgent manner for 600 miles.

The next day, the excerpt of the third-class resolute public relations Zhuo Fan to play the Atlanta great victory arrived.

This time, the excerpt arrived at six o'clock in the hour, which was much more calm than the last time, and the whole city of Beijing knew about it later.

So, inside and outside the palace, the cabinet military aircraft, the six departments and nine secretaries, and Han Zhan Kedao, all of them were happy and enthusiastic, and they all looked proud, and they were full of laughter.

The sound of firecrackers rang off for another night.

"He" is coming back soon.

Cixi suddenly felt that her previous worries were so ridiculous, what was there to worry about? After "he" came back, all the chaos would naturally disappear!

During these days, even Ci'an understood the map of the United States, and knew what it meant to win Atlanta, although he still couldn't help but sigh and cry, but soon smiled, and even took out his own ladder and put a round of rewards in the palace.

The east side took the lead, and the west side naturally couldn't be followed, and another round of rewards was released.

So the palace maids and eunuchs privately begged God to worship the Buddha and bless Grandpa Guan to win the battle every day in that United States.

Ci'an quietly discussed with Cixi: "Sister, that Shengbao, otherwise let's not do it, right?" ”

Cixi smiled: "Sister, don't worry, he is not a person who harms the public because of his own interests." ”

This "he", Cixi did not have his name, but Ci'an certainly knew who she was talking about, and listened to it in her ears, naturally, without a sense of abruptness.

Cixi pondered for a while and said, "But for the sake of his face, you can stay alive." ”

Ci'an breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good, it's good, it's just that you never use it." ”

That night, although the sound of firecrackers outside the palace continued, Cixi slept a good night's sleep that had not been seen for many days.

At the third watch, "he" came again.

This time, there was no halfway, there was no Bai's disturbance, all the way to the boat, and finally into the depths of the lotus flower, startled a shoal of gulls and herons.

The tent in the sea of flowers, the embroidered couch of Fangjiayuan, all returned.

She must have shouted, for when she woke up, a palace lamp outside the tent was lit, and the two palace maids knelt on the ground in fear.

Cixi told them to retreat.

After the lights were turned off again, in the dark, the young Queen Mother's eyes burned.

Early the next morning, the whole class of military aircraft was called, and Libin, the rank of Sipindao, was specially ordered to meet with the class.

Like last time, Libin arrived in Beijing one day in advance, King Gong received him first, and the next day Guan Zhuofan's report was sent by Shanghai 600 miles in an expedited manner.

The difference is that last night, the palace issued a decree to reward Libin with the title of Sipin Dao.

Along with the will, there is a full set of four-grade official uniforms: lapis lazuli blue nirvana glass top, eight pythons and five-clawed python robes, snow finch complements, and fragrant wood pearls.

This is an extraordinary grace.

To be honest, the title of five-rank prefect before Libin, because it was donated, is not very valuable. This Taoist title is not the same, not only is it promoted two levels in a row, but more importantly, it is specially awarded - this gold content is ten times that of the donor.

The question is, what about weishenme?

Although Libin is hard, he is just a messenger, and the court doesn't seem to have a rule for rewarding the messenger? Besides, that's a lot of money.

What's more, the front-line soldiers have not yet been officially awarded.

But the king has a gift, and the minister can't resign. Libin has a small position and is not qualified to resign.

He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he was worried all night.

Early the next morning, when he was waiting for the class to meet him, the ministers of military aircraft did not seem surprised that he had changed his official uniform overnight, but only congratulated him with a smile. Libin thanked him again and again, got a free time, and quietly asked Cao Yuying for advice. Cao Yuying just smiled and said, "It's always a good thing." And he would not say anything more.

Or summoned in the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The two palaces were full of smiles, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an also smiled and said, "Libin, let's meet again." ”

Unlike the Chattanooga Victory before it, the Atlanta Victory was a series of battles and was much more complex than the Chattanooga Victory. But with the success of Chattanooga and the "homework" done in the past few months, coupled with Libin's vivid speech, even the Empress Dowager Ci'an has figured out the ins and outs of a series of wars.

Guan Zhuofan repeatedly made strange plans, Dalton made a roundabout surprise attack, Saleka cut off the enemy's food route, Aratuna dug a trench to approach, and New Hope Church scattered soldiers attacked at night.

The battle of life and death in the trenches on the moonlit night of Aratuna, the sea of corpses and blood in front of the Kennaso Mountain formation, the two palaces imagined the situation at that time, and couldn't help but be shocked.

It's just that the two queen mothers don't understand one thing: in Guan Zhuofan's recital and Libin's mouth, what are the two things that repeatedly appear "railway" and "train"?

This question was raised by Tzu An.

Libin said: "If you return to the queen mother, this 'railway' and 'train' are one and the same. A 'railway' is two long 'rails' laid on the ground, and the distance between these two 'rails' is always the same, walking side by side and never intersecting. This 'train' is made up of many carriages connected to the front and back, and each carriage is equipped with wheels, which are also made of iron, which are closely connected to the 'rails', and the 'train' can run on the 'rails'. ”

It's not too hard to understand. Cixi nodded and said, "'The car is the same'." ”

Libin said: "Our Lady Queen Mother Shengming! ”

Cixi continued: "This train is so heavy, but it takes many horses to pull it?" ”
