Zeng Guoquan led more than 2,000 people under Xiao Fusi's department to press over, and the Northeast Army only had one squad, so it was impossible to stop Zeng Guoquan and protect Li Xiucheng. However, the squad leader of the Northeast Army moved cautiously, and the soldiers did not stop Zeng Guoquan, but they still formed a circle and encircled Li Xiucheng in the middle. In case Tan Shaoguang can arrive before Zeng Guoquan gets Li Xiucheng away, the two sides will have a lawsuit, and Li Xiucheng is also in their hands, at least he will not suffer a loss.

Zeng Guoquan, who was extremely excited, didn't notice the Northeast Army of more than ten people at all, and stared at Li Xiucheng with straight eyes, as if looking at his first love who had been separated for more than ten years. Zeng Guoquan was carrying a small dagger in his hand, and he killed it like a hungry tiger and rushed straight to Li Xiucheng. What kind of identity Zeng Guoquan is, even if everyone saw the dagger in his hand, they didn't expect him to do anything to Li Xiucheng, but Zeng Guoquan really wiped his face, and in the exclamation of everyone, he raised the dagger and stabbed Li Xiucheng's left arm. However, Zeng Guoquan came very violently, but he started very lightly, and he was very pointed, and he did it perfectly without hurting the skin.

"Pierce my cheek and ruin my face, are you happy?" This first knife, Zeng Guoquan avenged himself. When Li Xiucheng led his troops back to Nanjing, he once led hundreds of thousands of people to besiege Zeng Guoquan's camp, and in the fierce battle, Zeng Guoquan was hit in the cheek by a stray bullet and almost returned to his position. It is also the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, although this shot disfigured Zeng Guoquan, but the injury was not serious at all. When the morale of the Hunan army collapsed and was almost defeated, Zeng Guoquan miraculously stood up with a bloody face and stabilized his position, which led to today's victory.

"Do you remember the Battle of the Three Rivers? New hatred and old hatred all poured into Zeng Guoquan's heart, in addition to being almost killed, Zeng Guoquan and even the entire Hunan army hated the battle of Sanhe the most.

In the Battle of Sanhe, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng worked together to defeat Li Xubin, the fierce general of the Hunan army, and annihilated more than 5,000 elite Hunan troops, and Zeng Guohua, the sixth brother of Zeng Guofan, also died in Sanhe. At that time, Li Xubin was defeated and died, not only Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi couldn't eat for half a month, but even Xianfeng, who was far away in Beijing, cried for a while, and Hu Linyi's later exhaustion and death were related to the Battle of Sanhe. Li Xubin's department can be said to be the elite of the Hunan army in the early stage, and his entire army was wiped out, which can be said to have wiped out the old capital of the Hunan army. The grief of the Hunan army at that time could not be expressed in words, not only did the elite soldiers in the four years since the formation of the army be exhausted, but the loss of the main generals and strategists at that time also made a huge gap in the management of the Hunan army. Zeng Guoquan felt hatred, so he simply used a dagger to rip a piece of meat off Li Xiucheng's leg, opened his mouth and ate it raw.

"Lao Jiu, are you there?" Li Xiucheng was beaten twice in a row, but he didn't change his face, and he was a little bit bared and cracked. But Li Xiucheng showed a bearing that matched his identity, and looked at Zeng Guoquan with a contemptuous look.

"I ......" Zeng Guoquan also reflected that he had lost his price, how could the commander of the first army have the dignity of a big man, he humiliated Li Xiucheng like this, but he lost the face of the Zeng family and the Hunan army. Whoever hears about today's events will say that the Hunan army has a small belly and chicken intestines, and they will say that the Zeng family has no tolerance for people and no general's demeanor.

"I was defeated and captured, and I just died, why do you do this?" Li Xiucheng smiled bitterly and squeezed Zeng Guoquan again, but the squad leader of the Northeast Army on the side had already begun to wrap Li Xiucheng's wounds, he didn't dare to let the person who this chief specially came to find die of such a small injury.

"It's useless to talk more, let's go back to the camp!" Zeng Guoquan also felt that he had just gone too far, so he threw the little dagger away from him, and arched his hand to Li Xiucheng in a fake way.

"Alas!" Li Xiucheng took a nostalgic last look at the free sky, and wanted to return to Nanjing with Zeng Guoquan as soon as he took a step, but as soon as his legs were raised, a few shiny bayonets were put on his chest.

"What does that mean?" Li Xiucheng advanced and retreated, and his leg was hurt badly by Zeng Guoquan just now, and he didn't understand why these people stopped him.

"Who are you?" Zeng Guoquan was too excited just now, and in the midst of thousands of troops, he didn't notice some strange characters around him at all. It wasn't until Li Xiucheng was stopped that he found out that there were more than a dozen guys in fancy clothes around him.

"Salute! The report to the commander, the inferior rank is Zhang Zhiqin, the corporal squad leader of the 1st Marine Regiment of the National Defense Force in the northeastern region of Manchuria in the Qing Empire. The squad leader of the Northeast Army reported his name.

"The Manchurian Army? What do you want to do? Zeng Guoquan was not interested in the long and awkward name of the Northeast Army, where it came from is where it is from, and what people form is what kind of army, so the Hunan people form the Hunan Army, and the Manchurians are naturally the Manchurian Army. Guo Xing'a racked his brains to avoid the name, and was changed back by Zeng Guoquan in a word.

"Report sir, this man is our captive!" Zhang Zhiqin's level is too low, and the number of people is too different from Zeng Guoquan, so it is inevitable that he will not have enough confidence to speak.

"Give them a few taels of silver!" Zeng Guoquan thought that it was just a few Manchurian soldiers who wanted to ask for a reward of silver and give a few taels of silver, and he didn't think about the dispute.

"Report to the sir, the lowly rank needs to hand over this prisoner of war to the regiment, please don't embarrass us, sir." After all, Zhang Zhiqin didn't know much about the inside story, and fantasized about fooling the past.

"Take people away!" Zeng Guoquan was too lazy to talk nonsense with a soldier in charge of more than a dozen people, and after ordering someone to take Li Xiucheng away, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"I see which of you dare to move!" Zhang Zhiqin from Shandong is a fiery temper, Zeng Guoquan made him very embarrassed today, and Zeng Guoquan's contemptuous attitude just now also made him very uncomfortable, so he adhered to the consistent style of the Northeast Army, task first, who cares who you are. In the face of the enemy's absolute superiority, Zhang Zhiqin did not take away Li Xiucheng's ability through the battle, and all he could do was to hijack Zeng Guoquan, the commander of the Hunan army. Zeng Guoquan was too excited just now, and he had already walked into the circle formed by Zhang Zhiqin's class, and now he left without any precautions because he turned around and gave Zhang Zhiqin too many opportunities. Zhang Zhiqin took out the * representing his identity as an officer, and brought Zeng Guoquan back, and the brave Zeng Guoquan just wanted to struggle, and the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his temple. Not to mention Zeng Guoquan this time, no one in the Hunan army dared to move.

"Little brother, don't be impulsive! Do you know who I am? Have you thought about the consequences of messing around like this? Zeng Guoquan was quite calm and became his own negotiator.

"Sir, please don't embarrass the lowly rank and other people are real, we have already reported this important offender, you have to take people away, we can't explain to Shangfeng. Our Manchurian military law is strict, and our brothers cannot afford the crime of lying about the military situation. Now I can only grieve you, I bother you to help, accompany us to hand over this important criminal, and when the task is completed, our brothers will kowtow to you to make amends! Zhang Zhiqin dragged Zeng Guoquan and began to retreat while fooling his mouth, and several soldiers pulled Li Xiucheng up, and then surrounded Zhang Zhiqin and the three of them in Kanxin, covering them, and began to slowly retreat in the direction of Shence Gate.

After Tan Shaoguang got the news, he did not rush to save Li Xiucheng with enthusiasm, but looked at the map and prepared for a full-scale conflict with the Hunan army. At present, the total strength of the Hunan army is more than 100,000, but there are only more than 50,000 people around Nanjing, and the speed of mobilization and assembly will not be very fast. In terms of weapons, the Northeast Army has an absolute advantage, but the Hunan Army is now all weapons produced in North Manchuria, and they also use "Jinxi Yi" rifles and artillery, and the Northeast Army cannot completely crush the Hunan Army in terms of weapons. Fortunately, the sailors of the Hunan army were extremely weak, and they had no power to fight back in the face of the fierce First Rapid Reaction Fleet, and the terrifying firepower of the First Rapid Reaction Fleet could also completely suppress the firepower of the Hunan army in the Linjiang area, providing the Northeast Army with absolutely superior firepower cover.

The Marine Corps has an overwhelming advantage in light and heavy weapons, but after all, the number of people is only one-twentieth of that of others, so Tan Shaoguang's tactical thinking is based on the navy. The Northeast Army has been outside the Shence Gate for two days to pay tribute to the general's celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and now is not the time to continue to love the generalist education, Tan Shaoguang decisively gave up the Shence Gate camp, and the whole army withdrew to Fengyi Gate. The First Rapid Response Fleet also lit a fire and anchored, and in the name of military exercises, blocked the river from Yongdingzhou to Baguazhou, and the eight-star flag flying high represented the authority of the great general Guoxing'a. The middle and lower-level officials of the Qing Dynasty were all confused and did not know what was happening, but the foreigners and high-ranking officials knew that as the representative of the Eight Banners, Guoxing'a began to maintain the ruling authority of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles. Of course, Changchun's Guoxing'a didn't know anything, all of this was the handiwork of Tan Shaoguang, an anti-Qing person, but this situation was what Yixin, Su Shun and others liked to see.

After the 248-millimeter guns of the three ironclad giant ships were aimed at the city of Nanjing, Tan Shaoguang personally led the cavalry of his personal guards to the south to rescue the old commander he had been thinking about day and night. Of course, Tan Shaoguang, who was wearing a Manchurian military uniform and had shaved his long hair, was also a little at a loss about how to face the former prince, but one thing is certain, the loyal king must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Hunan army.

Tan Shaoguang rushed to Xiaolingwei and met the hostage-taker Zhang Zhiqin, and then Zeng Guoquan had a gun on his head, no longer a cutting-edge metal ammunition revolver, but the Black Star pistol that Guo Xing'a had just made according to M1911. This kind of pistol with cross-era significance can only be worn by officers at or above the colonel level in North Manchuria, and Tan Shaoguang, who is a major general, has just been issued one.

Zeng Guoquan, who was a hostage, was also helpless, thinking that Tan Shaoguang, who was dressed gorgeously, would be reasonable, but he thought that this senior general was as crazy as a soldier. However, looking at the direction of Tan Shaoguang and the others' retreat, Zeng Guoquan was not in a hurry, they were walking towards Nanjing City step by step. In front of the eldest brother, he will definitely be scolded, but there is no one in the world who can deal with Zeng Guofan, these crazy Manchurian generals will definitely suffer a big loss in front of Zeng Guofan, and then obediently let themselves go.

However, Zeng Guoquan didn't know that Zeng Guofan didn't have time to know about his abduction at the moment. Zeng Guofan was standing at the head of Fengyi Gate, looking at the terrifying cannon ports on the river outside the city, and his mind was full of thoughts about whether the imperial court wanted to exterminate the Hunan army.
