Seeing that things were going to make a big fuss, Zeng Guofan couldn't sit still, and hurriedly got up to block Hu Linyi's guards, "You guys retreat first." ”

The guards looked at Hu Linyi and then at Zeng Guofan, put away the knife, and left the room.

Zeng Guofan turned around and bowed his hand to Yang Xiaoshan: "Lord Yushi wants to arrest Governor Hu, and may I ask what Governor Hu has done?" Is it because there is some verbal dispute with Chang Yushi? Zeng Guofan seemed to be impartial, but in fact, the implication was to blame Yang Xiaoshan for being too arrogant and guilty for his words.

"That's not it, arrest him because Governor Hu has committed a capital crime." Yang Xiaoshan had already prepared and said with his head held high.

"Oh? Lord Yushi has just come to Jiujiang, and before the review has begun, there is evidence of Governor Hu's capital crime? Zeng Guofan said sarcastically, he didn't believe Yang Xiaoshan's words at all.

"It seems that Lord Zeng is still in the dark, Governor Hu's mother has passed away, he doesn't go back to Ding Wei, but he is still holding his official position here, such an unfilial person, do you think I should arrest him?" Yang Xiaoshan said sharply. Along the way, he was trying to find a way to break up the Hunan army. After learning the news of Hu Linyi's mother's death, Yang Xiaoshan found his weakness, he didn't want to make such a big fuss, but just now Hu Linyi was too arrogant to suppress him, I am afraid that everyone here will not take him seriously.

"Brother Hu, is there such a thing?" Zeng Guofan really didn't know about this, and looked at Hu Linyi incredulously.

"My mother just passed away, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." Hu Linyi was grabbed by the handle, and his voice immediately lowered. His mother had just passed away a few days ago, and Hu Linyi had the news, but he suppressed the news, and thought about the relationship in the capital to apply for the exemption of Ding Wei, and now that the Hunan army is counterattacking, he is reluctant to miss such a good moment of meritorious service. I didn't expect Yang Xiaoshan to shake this out here.

"If you are not filial to your mother, how can you be loyal to the court? Lord Zeng, your Hunan army has a big problem. Yang Xiaoshan immediately attacked Zeng Guofan.

None of the people present could speak for Hu Linyi, this era attaches great importance to filial piety, and this violation is a big deal.

However, Luo Bingzhang was still shrewd, and immediately said: "Actually, Master Hu is already ready to go home to worry about it, but Jiujiang didn't conquer it before, so he dragged things down, am I right?" Lord Hu. ”

Hu Linyi saw that Governor Luo gave the steps, so he also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Yes, the military situation was urgent before, and Hu couldn't miss the state affairs because of family affairs." Hu originally planned to go home today and keep filial piety for his mother, but he didn't have time to tell you. ”

"Since Lord Hu said so, it seems that he is really dedicated to national affairs, Chang just reminded Lord Hu that he has no other meaning, sit down, don't waste this delicious food and wine." Yang Xiaoshan saw that Hu Linyi softened, he really didn't have such a big right to arrest the governor, but he was forced by the form, so he had to scare him. Seeing that he had softened and wanted to go back to Ding Wei, he had achieved his goal and stopped taking advantage of the situation.

The two deputy histories let go of Hu Linyi and returned to Yang Xiaoshan's side.

After this uproar, Yang Xiaoshan established his prestige in the hearts of the officers of the Hunan army, and he even dared to arrest Governor Hu, let alone others.

"General Peng, would you like to give you some time to prepare?" Yang Xiaoshan brought the topic to the matter of inspection.

At this time, the situation was already in favor of Yang Xiaoshan.

Peng Yulin glanced at Zeng Guofan, saw that he was silent, and knew that the matter to be reviewed could not be stopped, so he nodded and said, "The last general will go and prepare." ”

Zeng Guofan didn't want Yang Xiaoshan to investigate, but Hu Linyi's matter was extraneous, and he was afraid that Yang Xiaoshan would make a fuss about it if he blindly blocked it at this time. And what Yang Xiaoshan said just now is very skillful, and the word preparation shows that Yang Xiaoshan is not trying to embarrass himself, and letting himself prepare is equivalent to letting them check themselves by default to eliminate the traces of problems.

Yang Xiaoshan saw that Zeng Guofan did not stop him, and knew that his goal had been achieved, on the one hand, he transferred the second-in-command of the Hunan army from his post, and on the other hand, the sailors of the Hunan army were left in Jiujiang by him. At this time, Li Xubin's forces to attack Anhui were greatly weakened. If he dares to be greedy and reckless, it will not be a matter of pestering him, and a way will be found to eliminate him.

A few days later, Li Xubin, the number one general of the Hunan army, was finally about to set off from Jiujiang, and as the vanguard of this attack on Anhui, he brought 10,000 of the most elite soldiers of the Hunan army. Zeng Guofan and other generals saw him off.

"Rujiu (Li Xubin's words), don't be greedy for merit, this attack on Anhui, as long as you hit Shucheng, wait until the pseudo-wing king Shi Dakai leaves the Jiangxi border, I will bring troops to help you." Zeng Guofan still attaches great importance to Li Xubin, since the infantry generals Tabuqi and Luo Zenan died in battle one after another, now the most capable person in the Hunan army army is this Luo Zenan's disciple Li Xubin.

This Li Xubin is indeed very powerful, he has risen from a scholar to a scholar by virtue of his military exploits to now from a second-rank political envoy, which can be said to be a rocket-like rising speed. And the word has been passed down from above, as long as he takes Anhui, the hat of the governor of Anhui will be kept for him.

"Don't worry, Lord Zeng, Rujiu will live up to the trust." Li Xubin is very confident, during this time he defeated Wuchang, Wei Jun was defeated and fled, and then conquered Jiujiang, Lin Qirong died in battle, these famous generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have become his stepping stones, and his self-confidence is now the most inflated moment.

Bidding farewell to Zeng Guofan, Li Xubin drove out of Jiujiang City with 10,000 horses.

Yang Xiaoshan knew that Li Xubin was out of the city today, and he was already standing at the gate of the city waiting for him. Seeing Li Xubin coming, he deliberately provoked him and said: "I heard that it is Chen Yucheng, the first fierce general of long hair, who guards Luzhou, Anhui, and General Li should be careful." ”

Li Xubin is a typical Hunanese, Yang Xiaoshan's words obviously had an impact on him, and he said very domineeringly: "If a thief can fight, I can also fight!" ”

"Then wait for General Li's good news, if the general feels that he can't fight, he might as well hand over the army to me, I especially want to meet these bandits." Yang Xiaoshan stimulated Li Xubin again.

"Don't bother Lord Yushi, these 10,000 people are enough to defeat Anhui. Mishi-sama should do what you should do. After Li Xubin finished speaking, he excitedly urged the war horse to leave, obviously Yang Xiaoshan's words affected his state of mind.

If you think I can't do it, I'll use these 10,000 people to show you. Li Xubin is now full of thoughts about making meritorious contributions and making great achievements.

After leaving the city, he quickly marched to Anhui, Zeng Guofan's admonition had already been thrown out of the clouds, and now he is like a fierce beast, only prey in front of him, and the rest is not scrupulous.
