Zeng Guofan took Jiujiang, and his passion was surging for many days, but soon Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, brought him a message. said that the above sent the inspector Yu Shi Changshan to come down to inspect, and the first stop was his own Hunan army, and he used a very tactful tone to imply that his Changshan backer was Prince Gong, and he was the son-in-law of the monk king, so he asked him to receive it carefully.

The supervision of the imperial history is coming, Zeng Guofan does not dare to be careless, and his heart is also a little up and down, if the imperial history insists on finding fault this year, no one can stand the scrutiny. Empty salaries, embezzlement of military salaries, plundering of the people, etc., each army has more or less some of these behaviors, depending on whether the imperial history really wants to lift the lid.

"Brother Zeng, what is the origin of this Chang Yushi, I see that you seem to be paying a lot of attention to him recently." Hu Linyi has been told by Zeng Guofan every day to restrain and restrain his subordinates, so he can't help asking.

"Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming. This Chang Yu Shi Naigong's henchman, sent at this time, what do you say he wants to do? Zeng Guofan glanced at Hu Linyi and said carefully.

"Brother Zeng is too careful, I have also heard of this person, but from the Sanpin Imperial History, even if we catch us, it will not be his turn to enforce the law, at most he will beat our small report in front of the emperor." Hu Linyi pouted and said, the relationship between the leaders of the Hunan army is intertwined and self-contained, even if the imperial court sends them down, they must give them some face.

"If we are the green camp of the imperial court, I don't have to be afraid of him, but we are a group training, and the emperor's trust in us is limited, so let's not offend him easily, not to mention his deep background." Zeng Guofan is very careful in his work, and he can be said to be a person who takes one step and sees three steps.

"I inquired about this person, it is said that he is the son-in-law of the monk king, and he was promoted to become a martial champion who was only awarded by the martial arts, I am afraid that he is just a gentleman, he has no ability, he is here to plate gold, we just need to share his credit, and it will be gagged." Hu Linyi analyzed.

"I hope so. In fact, Zeng also hoped that the emperor would send someone down to take a look, and he could be more down-to-earth. "Zeng Guofan is also telling the truth, hundreds of thousands of troops that are not controlled by the imperial court, and no one is at ease when he becomes the emperor. As long as the imperial history doesn't ask for trouble, the emperor can sleep soundly.

"Lord Zeng, Governor Luo is here with the new Inspector Yushi." A guard came over and reported.

"Hurry up, please." Zeng Guofan glanced at Hu Linyi, meaning that Cao Cao would arrive.

In order to welcome the arrival of this supervising imperial history, and heard that this imperial history is quite pompous, Zeng Guofan put some thought about it, and within a few days of the recovery of Jiujiang, he made a very luxurious welcome banquet, which also included rare delicacies such as steamed deer tail and bird's nest chicken shredded soup, which specially feasted Yang Xiaoshan.

"Chang Yushi, this is the famous marshal of the Hunan Army, Lord Zeng."

"Lord Zeng, this is the new Imperial History of the Five Provinces Inspector Chang Yushi." Governor Luo accompanied Yang Xiaoshan to come, and when he arrived here, he introduced the two to each other.

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

Yang Xiaoshan and Zeng Guofan exchanged pleasantries, and when he saw Yang Xiaoshan for the first time, Zeng Guofan sighed in his heart, he couldn't imagine that such a young imperial history would not be able to see through it all of a sudden. This Changyu Shicheng Mansion is quite deep, and it looks very polite, but it maintains a lukewarm distance.

Governor Luo introduced the generals of the Hunan Army who came to accompany the banquet in turn, and gaged from time to time, which made a lively atmosphere.

But the generals were a little nervous in their hearts, not afraid of Yang Xiaoshan, Yang Xiaoshan looked quite kind, but the two deputy histories he brought were expressionless, with dead faces, standing behind Yang Xiaoshan without saying a word. These two are the two most impersonal imperial historians selected by Yang Xiaoshan personally from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as his assistants, to assist in supervising the hundred officials of the five provinces.

"Lord Yushi is here, he must be to inspect our Hunan army, but now the military situation is urgent, the emperor urges us to attack Tianjing as soon as possible, and asks Lord Yushi to be more considerate of our difficulties." After Zeng Guofan said some polite words from officialdom, he finally led the topic to the key point, he used the emperor to suppress Yang Xiaoshan, which means that you don't interfere with my normal military operations.

Yang Xiaoshan smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "I have also heard that General Li has been invincible and invincible these days, so naturally I will not interfere with his progress." ”

Li Xubin saw Yang Xiaoshan looking at himself and saying this, his heart suddenly became steady, he is now in the limelight, and he is about to invade Anhui, at this time, if Yushi wants to check himself, he will be quite annoying.

Yang Xiaoshan was halfway through his words, and his eyes turned from Li Xubin to Peng Yulin, the leader of the navy, "But I heard that the Hunan army sailors cost millions of silver, and the account Chang Mou still needs to be checked, and I ask Lord Zeng to forgive me." ”

Zeng Guofan's heart was bumped, Yang Xiaoshan's words were also reasonable, the sailor was the most expensive, he wanted to find the reason to stand, but in this way, his Hunan army could not advance by land and water, Zeng Guofan was a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Yang Xiaoshan knew that he couldn't stop the Hunan army from advancing into Anhui, so he made up his mind to break them up and not let them all enter Anhui, otherwise the pressure on the Taiping army in Anhui would be too great.

"Chang Yushi, this land and water advance is common sense with soldiers, what are your intentions in deliberately keeping the navy?" Hu Linyi saw that Zeng Guofan didn't speak, and he couldn't hold it back. Hu Linyi is not like Zeng Guofan's second-generation farmer, he is the second generation of officials, his father is Tanhua, the official is Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, and his father-in-law was the governor of Liangjiang, so he is not as careful as Zeng Guofan. And he is now the governor of Hubei, a member of the second grade, and he is not so polite to Yang Xiaoshan, who is from the third grade.

"Presumptuous, who is this?" Yang Xiaoshan slapped the table, in fact, he knew that it was Hu Linyi, and asked again deliberately.

Luo Bingzhang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, he couldn't imagine that Yang Xiaoshan would dare to roar Governor Hu like this, no matter how big your background is, this Hu Linyi is not a vegetarian, and there are people in the imperial court.

"You little one from the third grade of the imperial history, dare to talk to me like this?" Hu Linyi stood up, pointed at Yang Xiaoshan with his finger, and scolded.

"Chang Yushi, this is Lord Hu, the governor of Hubei, don't be impulsive, say it well, say it well." Luo Bingzhang hurriedly came over to play the round.

"That's my attitude! Come on, take down this Governor Hu for me! Yang Xiaoshan's face sank, his eyes rolled upward, and he was about to arrest someone.

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't imagine that the new superintendent Yushi didn't give face at all, and he would arrest people when he came up, and it was Hu Linyi, the governor of Hubei, the second person in the Hunan army.

The two deputy histories were very obedient, and Yang Xiaoshan said to take people, so they came over to take people.

"Who dares! You are so arrogant, why should you arrest me? "Hu Linyi is going crazy, you just have the right to report to me, and you don't have the right to take down the order of my governor and the emperor, and you don't have this right. When Hu Linyi's guards heard the sound, they hurriedly came over to grab people, and the two sides were about to fight.
