The general soldier is the rank of the second rank, and the deputy general is the rank of the second rank, which is enough, if you want to be really lacking, then you have to pay it back? Tu Linxin said, within a province, there are only two or three general soldiers, each under the jurisdiction of a town, this master of my family, when he fought to the death in Rehe and Miyun, shouldered the blood and sea of cadres, and the sky was guarded, only to let go of a left-wing general army is really lacking, you eight long-haired leaders, dare to say what to say, "specify what province and what is the responsibility"? Dream your mother's dreams!

"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan's answer surprised Tulin.

"Xiexie handsome cultivation!" Gao Yongkuan stood up with joy and bowed deeply.

"Sit, sit, but in this way, half of my credit will be shared by Li Futai." Guan Zhuofan sighed.

Gao Yongkuan was stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while.

"General Gao, as long as you mention Tan Shaoguang's head, the court will definitely approve these due rewards. But in the end, I am only a provincial feudal department, and the lack of eight second-grade products is not trivial, it is a great favor, of course, it has to be played by Li Futai himself, in order to appear justified and grand. Guan Zhuofan explained to him, "I think it's good, the front of the north of the city is Cheng Xueqi's opening camp, I wrote a letter to Li Futai, and sent Zheng Guokui to accompany you to find Cheng Xueqi, and then go to see Li Futai together." The three of you, who used to be comrades, are now all obedient to the court and serve the country together, which is really a good story. ”

Gao Yongkuan understood that Guan Zhuofan was thinking about them, and while he was grateful, he was also a little worried.

"Dashuai, I'm afraid that Li Futai will not make sense if he can't talk about it......," Gao Yongkuan said hesitantly, "What's more, it will also thin out your credit." ”

"It must pass. By all means! Guan Zhuofan waved his hand and smiled. Li Futai is the person who knows the importance the most. You give Suzhou City to him, and it's too late for him to be happy, how can it not make sense? If you don't feel at ease, I will recommend another person, and it will be good for you to ask Cheng Xueqi to find him as a mediator. As for the credit, it's all for the country's affairs, I'll let Futai get better! ”

It's a great festival! Gao Yong said with relief. I can't imagine that among the demons, there are such officials.

"I don't know which one the marshal wants to recommend?"

"In the Huai army, there is a winning army, I guess you know?"

"Yes, the marshal said Gordon? I knew he was an officer in England. ”

"Yes, he used to be my subordinate, and now he is with Li Futai." Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "General Gao, I'll spread it out and say okay, we all know it." Foreigners are the most trustworthy. I'll plan for you, if Gordon is in the middle of this matter. Naturally, you can be relieved of your worries. ”

This time, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. Gao Yongkuan and Wang Anjun glanced at each other, both of them were happy colors.

The matter was so decided, Guan Zhuofan immediately wrote a document, listing several requirements put forward by Gao Yongkuan, stating that he did not dare to be self-dictatorated, and asked Futai to make a decision. He handed the letter to Zheng Guokui, instructed him, and sent him to accompany the two "princes" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, still by water, and made a detour to the north of the city to see Cheng Xueqi.

Guan Zhuofan only sent three people to the door, and then stood with his hands in his hands, looking at their distant backs, his face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see a trace of joy, anger and sorrow. Tulin, who was on the side, blushed, looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"How?" Guan Zhuofan glanced at him, "Do you have something to say?" ”

"Master," Túrin snorted, "it's too cheap for them...... There is also Li Futai, who has made a great contribution in vain. ”

"They killed 40,000 people in Hangzhou, ruined the reputation of thousands of women, and tortured and killed 34 of my soldiers in Qingpu City," Guan Zhuofan's words seemed to answer Tulin, and as if he was muttering to himself, "The nine of them are really daring men...... Such a person, what is the reward for a few real shortage of general adjutants? Li Futai will naturally reward them for their great achievements. ”

In the past few days, Li Xiucheng keenly felt that the atmosphere in Suzhou City was wrong.

He and Chen Yucheng are like the two pillars of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after Chen Yucheng died at the hands of Shengbao, he even carried a thousand catties of heavy burdens on his shoulders - this burden, one end is Tianjing, where King Hong Tianwang is located, and the other end is Suzhou, the capital of his Sufu Province, and he has become more and more difficult to pick.

After all, he didn't have three heads and six arms, and King Hong couldn't really summon the Heavenly Soldiers to help him fight. Seeing that the return deadline set by the king is approaching day by day, the situation in Suzhou is not only not improving, but also deteriorating day by day, which makes Li Xiucheng, who has experienced countless vicious battles and is accustomed to wind and waves, also begin to feel helpless.

The Hunan army and the Huai army are also okay, the old opponent is very familiar, but the Xuan army, what's going on? From the beginning of the attack on Shanghai, the Xuan army was fought once, and the Xuan army grew once, and now, almost no army can fight the Xuan army head-on. His own elite Chinese army has been transferred to Tianjing, and the troops in the city are ......

Of course, Tan Shaoguang can be trusted, and his adopted daughter is married to him. As for Gao Yongkuan, it is difficult to say - although the offensive of the two armies of Xuanhuai and Huai is very fierce, but in the past few days, Gao Yongkuan and others have gone out of the city three times, each time saying that they are inspecting the defense outside the city, but every time they come back, the fortress outside the city will lose a few more. By yesterday, even the largest stone fortress, Fort Fuhai, had been lost, but the soldiers guarding the fort were not too damaged and were able to withdraw to the city.

The army's spirit is unstable! Although there is no tangible evidence, Li Xiucheng, who has read countless people, still has a sense of foreboding. There is a rumor that Gao Yongkuan once got on a small boat on the edge of Yangcheng Lake, but as for what to do, I don't know.

Regardless of whether this kind of thing is true or not, the spread of such rumors is itself a very bad sign! However, if it is said that it is necessary to "strictly enforce the law", in the end the counter-state has not been revealed, and the situation is judged, most of the more than 40,000 soldiers in the city are their subordinates, so they do not dare to "strictly enforce the law" - the Tianjing incident is not far away, how can it be good to come again in Suzhou?

After weighing it, I can't help but call them to the Zhongwang Mansion in the Humble Administrator's Garden to say something.

"Now that the Lord is covered with dust, the situation in heaven is very difficult, and this is something that everyone knows. At such a point, whether Suzhou can hold on depends on everyone's meaning. Li Xiucheng said very frankly, "Most of you are people from the two lakes, if you have other thoughts in your heart, everyone has their own ambitions, I can't be strong with each other, just don't harm each other." It's just that I, as a true loyal military advisor of the Kingdom of Heaven, can't help but die for the King of Heaven, as long as I am in Suzhou for a day, I have to guard it for a day, it's a big deal that you will tie me up and give it to that Guan Zhuofan! ”

True Loyal Military Division is Hong Xiuquan's latest title to Li Xiucheng, and in terms of status, it can be regarded as below one person and above ten thousand people. When he said this, Tan Shaoguang's face changed color first, and he turned his head to look around at his eight "brothers", not believing that they would have the heart of rebellion.

The other eight people looked at each other, and Zuihou was still opened by the second brother Gao Yongkuan.

"Please be relieved! We have been brought up since childhood, who dares to have his heart? Self can never be unjust. If he had his heart, he would not have suffered with King Zhong for several years. ”

These words were high-sounding, Tan Shaoguang relieved his heart, and Li Xiucheng listened to it and felt comforted. However, when everyone resigned, Gao Yongkuan deliberately procrastinated and stayed in Zuihou, because there was still a sentence to say to Li Xiucheng.

"Your Highness, your kindness to us, Yun Guan will never dare to forget." Gao Yongkuan's tone was extremely sincere, because this sentence was indeed from the heart, "I heard that the deadline given to you by the old man Hong Tianwang is almost here, and now Suzhou is surrounded by officials and soldiers, and it is not easy to walk on the road, if you don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid you will miss your return date." In the final analysis, the kingdom of heaven can lack anyone, but it cannot lack a loyal king. ”

Li Xiucheng stared at Gao Yongkuan for a long time, and finally understood his words, and for a while, he was silent.

On the third day, Li Xiucheng took his ten personal soldiers, escorted by a group of 500 elite soldiers, and left Suzhou City gloomily. Before leaving the city, he called Tan Shaoguang and persuaded him to go with him.

"Lord, I can't go." Tan Shaoguang shook his head and said, "You go to Tianjing to preside over the overall situation, I will definitely defend Suzhou for you, wait until you break the Zeng shaved head, and then lead the troops back to relieve the siege of Suzhou!" ”

These words, I'm afraid it's not haode? But Li Xiucheng is an extremely smart person, and he knows that Gao Yongkuan and these people are just thinking about their own kindness now, and once they leave, most of them will have to make changes. At that time, Tan Shaoguang was alone and dangerous. However, after repeated persuasion, Tan Shaoguang just refused to listen.

"Your Highness, please rest assured! Gao Yongkuan is a few of them, they are all my brothers, and they dare not listen to my words! Tan Shaoguang said confidently, "Even if I have any foolish thoughts, as long as I am in the city, I won't be able to make any waves!" ”

I hope so. Li Xiucheng sighed, shook his head slightly, and stopped talking.
