Shengbao, a Manchu man with a white flag, was born in a person, and served as a cabinet bachelor, because he was appreciated by Xianfeng, he began to leave the civil and military forces, added the title of the capital, and led the troops to pursue the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Although this person's name is Shengbao, he is often ridiculed by his colleagues as "defeated Bao", and the pursuit of the Northern Expeditionary Army gave up military power to the monk king because of the long-term attack, and then withdrew from the battlefield first because of a cannon wound at Bali Bridge.

However, Katsubo was lucky, and the monk king fought until the end of the battle and the seven horsemen were deprived of their posts and cut off, while Katsubo escaped punishment because of his injuries.

Later, in the Xinyou coup, this Shengbao was quite smart, and like Zeng Guofan, he wrote to support the empress dowager of the two palaces, and also led troops to support the Xinyou coup d'état near the capital, so his military power was retained, and he was also crowned the minister of Qincha, and still let him suppress the local army in Henan.

It's just that this Shengbao Lord is really not the material to lead the troops, he has been defeated in Henan repeatedly, and the twisted army has been crisscrossing Henan for ten years, and the more people are suppressed, this Shengbao has no record and desperately sucks the blood of the local government, forcing them to pay people to support themselves, but Henan is miserable. Moreover, this Shengbao thinks that he is a literati, and he is a Manchurian nobleman, and he feels that he is more noble than those military generals, and he speaks arrogantly and arrogantly towards his colleagues and allies, and is very unpopular.

This Shengbao also knew that he couldn't fight, so he attached great importance to plotting against the wavering elements in the Taiping Army and treated them quite favorably. Miao Peilin and Li Zhaoshou, the two chameleons, chose him as their target for surrender.

Katsubo took advantage of these two men to get some credit, but these two chameleons also caused him a lot of trouble, because they repeatedly jumped ship, although they killed a lot of Taiping troops, but also killed a lot of Qing troops, and all when Shengbao was under him. He can't take off the hat of "supporting the army and arsoning", but other people are afraid of his identity and dare not speak out.

However, now Shengbao is running at the right time, Li Qinbang betrayed Zhang Lexing in Xiyangzhai, Henan, and he just executed him in Lingchi, and now Miao Peilin has given himself the British King Chen Yucheng as a letter of nomination, which is a greater credit. Sheng Baozheng wrote to the Qing court, preparing to escort Chen Yucheng to the capital to show off his rare exploits.

"Old man Zeng, your Hunan army has been busy in Anhui for so long, and in the end, I picked peaches." Shengbao was still lying on the Taishi's chair, wondering what reward the imperial court would give him this time.

"Report to the capital, and often to see the adult." His men came and reported.

"Changshan? Is that the old man's son-in-law? What's going on on with this hairy kid running on my turf? Katsuho stretched, a little displeased.

"It's this Changshan, the villain looks at him as if he is not good, and please be mentally prepared." The subordinate reminded him in advance.

Katsuho slapped the table and shouted angrily: "He dares! A little hairy kid dares to make trouble with me? I'm tired of it, let him come over, I want to see what tricks he comes to play with me? ”

After a while, Yang Xiaoshan walked into the hall with a comfortable expression.

"What wind blew my nephew to me?" As soon as Sheng Bao came up, he hinted to Yang Xiaoshan that he and Monk Lingqin were of the same generation, and he should pay attention to his identity.

"Lord Sheng, Bendu is here to ask for someone on the order of Zeng Shuai!" Yang Xiaoshan doesn't think that he is shorter than Shengbao, you are Dutong, and I am also Dutong, why can you take advantage of me? In order to rescue Chen Yucheng, Yang Xiaoshan also deliberately pulled out the banner of Zeng Guofan.

"Who?" Sheng Bao's eyes rolled, and he could guess who it was, and now the most precious person in his hand was not the British King Chen Yucheng.

"Lord Sheng, don't ask knowingly, the Hunan army has been fighting around Anhui for several years, and it is not easy to close the net, and this fish that slipped through the net was picked up by you like this, it's not appropriate." Yang Xiaoshan knew that his foundation was too shallow to suppress Shengbao, so he desperately borrowed the momentum of Zeng Guofan, after all, he was now a handsome, and he had more than a dozen first- and second-grade officials, which was a very powerful prince in the court.

"It's your own problem to let people go, it's my ability to catch this Chen Yucheng, why should I let you the people I catch with my ability?" Shengbao was really arrogant, and obviously didn't take Zeng Guofan seriously.

"This Chen Yucheng was not caught by your Lord Sheng, it was caught by Miao Peilin from Nashouzhou, he just changed his mind a few days ago, and was willing to join my command, and rededicated Chen Yucheng to Bendutong. Katsu-sama doesn't have to be beautiful. Yang Xiaoshan pressed step by step, just to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and save Chen Yucheng.

"Dreaming, people come to me, what kind of dog is Miao Peilin, what can he do? Chang Dutong, if I say something unkind, even if your father-in-law, the monk Greenqin, comes, I won't let this Chen Yucheng go! "Katsuho's face is full of arrogance, very arrogant, and he doesn't leave any room for it.

"Lord Sheng, Bendu Tong must take this Chen Yucheng away, you can make a condition!" Yang Xiaoshan saved Chen Yucheng heartily.

"You just think about it, I won't give Chen Yucheng to you under any conditions, I have asked the imperial court to send this Chen Yucheng to the capital, if the imperial court does not agree, I will put him to death in this Shangqiu City." Katsuho is a decisive railway.

Yang Xiaoshan knew that it was absolutely impossible for this Shengbao to release people, if Chen Yucheng was escorted to Beijing, he could still save himself, and the difficulty would be a little smaller, but if he didn't agree, he would have to attack Shangqiu and rob the law field, which would be too difficult. And now it seems that the imperial court does not agree with the majority, since Xianfeng's death, the captured senior generals of the Taiping Army were basically executed by Ling Chi locally.

"I can't wait, I can't afford to wait, wait to find a way to win before this. But this Shengbao has tens of thousands of Qing troops, and there are a large number of Qing troops in the surrounding states and counties, if he tears his face and fights with him, first, he may not be able to fight, and secondly, it is likely that Shengbao will execute Chen Yucheng in advance, and his final goal will not be achieved. Yang Xiaoshan thought to himself.

"Lord Sheng, aren't you afraid that I will go to the Queen Mother to sue you?" Yang Xiaoshan said coldly.

Sheng Bao glanced at Yang Xiaoshan, and said even more coldly: "Chang Shan, don't think that you have established a little dragon skill and are rampant in front of the Pondu Commander. If it weren't for the fact that the Pontus General led troops to the capital to support the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the eight ministers of Gu Ming might not have succumbed so easily, and my credit for Conglong is much greater than yours! ”

"That's what you said?" Yang Xiaoshan suddenly thought of a way to win and save his life.

"That's what Pontus said, who doesn't know the power of Pontus to obey the dragon in the court officials around here?" Katsuho laughed out loud after saying this, and said smugly.

Yang Xiaoshan looked at his smug appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart: "This guy thinks he is smart, but in fact he is really very stupid, he doesn't know that he is dying, and he handed over the death hole to me, this time it depends on how you die!" ”

"Bendu Tong will write to the imperial court, give us a commentary, and see who the imperial court is for! Farewell! Yang Xiaoshan made up his mind to bring down Shengbao.

"I don't send it! I will also go to the two palaces of the Queen Mother. Don't think that you have a little favor now, Bendu wants to see if it is important for me to win or for you, a hairless child with a hairless mouth, to be important? Sheng Bao said arrogantly, not taking Yang Xiaoshan in his eyes at all.
