"Disheng has no intention of surrendering?"

Almost yes, Hu Linyi returned to the camp alone, and Zhang Liangji greeted him and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hu Linyi nodded and said with a slight shame.

"I'm ashamed to say it, I originally thought that I could persuade Disheng not to make mistakes, but who would have thought that Disheng would be so stubborn, although he was kind and persuasive, he still didn't get anything!"

Zhang Liangji, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sighed slightly:

"Disheng's heart is like this, I can force it, Runzhi, you don't have to be sad, after all, you have done your best!"

With an "oh", Hu Linyi said to Zhang Liangji:

"The Governor is in the tent? Lin Yi wants to personally ask the Metropolitan Governor for his guilt! ”

When entering the camp, Hu Linyi bowed respectfully with a guilty expression on his face.

"The minister has the trust of the metropolitan governor, and failed to persuade Zeng Guofan to submit to my righteous army, please ask the metropolitan governor to punish the crime!"

"Punishment?"

Looking at Hu Linyi, who was full of shame, Zhu Yifeng, who was sitting behind the bookcase, put down the book in his hand with a smile, stood up and walked to Hu Linyi, helped him up and said.

"Runzhi did not hesitate to risk his life for my righteous army, what is the crime? Even if it is guilty, it is also the crime of Zeng Guofan, what does it have to do with Runzhi! ”

Hu Linyi, who was being supported, heard the governor say this, and thought that his friend had mistaken himself, and he sighed in his heart, and said with no emotion.

"Disheng is mistaken! The minister's previous delay in the military overseer plane for his own selfishness is really a crime that deserves death! ”

"Ten Thousand Dead ......"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng said with good words.

"Disheng is a great talent in Hunan, even if he doesn't want to submit to my righteous army, how can Zhu bear to hurt his life! Runzhi is considerate of my heart of cherishing talents, just risking his life, you go, I am worried, as long as you come back safely, Runzhi must not say this again! ”

"The Metropolitan Governor loves him like this, Lin Yi is really ......"

Hu Linyi knew that now was not the time to be a child, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Without further ado, since Zeng Guofan has no intention of surrendering to my righteous army, then our righteous army should immediately send troops to attack Yuezhou......"

Although Hu Linyi, who made up his mind, couldn't bear it, but after the benevolence and righteousness were exhausted, he understood that he had no other choice, and compared to personal friendship, the great cause of the righteous army was the most important thing.

"Siege?"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng said.

"It's late today, there are more than 10,000 Xiangyong in this Yuezhou City, if it is a siege, even if it is attacked in this Yuezhou City, it may also fall into street fighting, and the short-handed soldiers are in succession, which is not conducive to the firepower of our army at night, tomorrow!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yifeng glanced at Zhang Liangji, but Zhang Liangji only lowered his head slightly. There are some things that you don't need to say now, or don't need to tell anyone at all! Just do it!

It was getting late, and on the Yueyang Tower, Zeng Guofan's eyes were staring at Dongting Lake, these eight hundred miles of Dongting were so wide, but his mood was a little heavy at this time.

"Big brother, all battalions have been notified, and as soon as the hour is over, the whole team will go out of the city!"

Zeng Guobao looked at the eldest brother, opened his mouth and stopped talking. After learning from the eldest brother that Zhang Liangji, Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang and others had all returned to obedience and rebellion, his mind was a little floating, and their characters all surrendered to the Han army, do they really think that this destiny is in Han and not in Qing? If not, how would they have surrendered to the Han army?

"Got it!"

Zeng Guofan nodded, his gaze turned to the north, and at this time he could vaguely see the lights in the camp of thieves.

"Guobao, Zhang Shiqing has dropped, Hu Runzhi has dropped, and Zuo Jigao has also dropped ......"

When he let out this sigh, Zeng Guofan seemed to be much older, until now, he still couldn't accept those former old friends, and they actually surrendered to Wuchang one by one.

"Big brother, actually, in fact, it's actually ......"

Seeing that the eldest brother took the initiative to mention this matter, Zeng Guobao tried to say.

"Since Zhang Shiqing has also surrendered to the rebels, why should the eldest brother be like this? Now the situation in Hunan is collapsing like this, Jiangxi is poisoned by the Cantonese bandits, even if I wait in Jiangxi, it is also under the fence, and the court does not know how to investigate the matter of Hunan at that time, please think twice! ”

Zeng Guobao said from the bottom of his heart, compared to the eldest brother's loyalty to the court, his loyalty to the court is extremely limited, in comparison, he even cares more about the wealth of the Zeng family, and even in his opinion, if the eldest brother can return in time now, no matter how bad it is in the future, he can get a founding father, and then the Zeng family will be able to really retire with the country.

is like this in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it directly, he can only say his thoughts euphemistically, because he understands the temper of the eldest brother and is a person.

"Guobao, do you think that the eldest brother should descend to Wuchang?"

From his younger brother's words, Zeng Guofan, who heard his meaning, asked rhetorically.

"Disheng, if Zhang Shiqing is shrewd, he has also fallen in Wuchang, Zuo Jigao, Hu Runzhi, Disheng often says that his talent is far more than ten times that of Disheng, and now they are all returning to the righteous army, although I don't know if this is the desire of the people in the world, but it is also the people's will, if the people's heart is like this, Disheng can resist it!"

At this moment, Guo Songtao's words came from the side, and I saw him walk to Zeng Guofan's side, look at the righteous army sailor on the lake and say.

"In the 20th year of Daoguang, the younger brother once entered the Zhejiang School of Politics, and in Zhejiang, he saw with his own eyes that the ships of England were strong and artillery, and today's Wuchang people, their strong ships and guns are not inferior to Yingyi, and they are trained in Western law, which can be said to be the best of the West, so it can be seen that their minds are ......."

Compared with other people, Guo Songtao, who had experienced the battle of Zhejiang more than ten years ago, had personally witnessed the loss of Zhejiang's coastal defense, and he was deeply impressed by the strong ships and guns of the "Daoyi", which had always been despised by "Huaxia". And now Wuchang's strong ships and artillery are even more invincible in his opinion, and when the news that Zhang Shiqing and others have returned to the righteous army reached his ears, he was also deeply shocked, and even contacted the Cantonese bandits in Jiangning, believing that this was the manifestation of the exhaustion of the Qing Dynasty's national spirit.

What should happen when the Qing Dynasty is about to run out?

Either self-reliance and strength, treat him to the world day by day, or submit to others, and compared to Jiangning Yue bandits, this Wuchang Righteous Army is naturally the best choice, and because of this, he seems to understand the choice of Zhang Shiqing and others.

"Yunxian thinks that this Wuchang thief is the desire of the people of the world!"

Looking directly at Guo Songtao, Zeng Guofan's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"It's not that Song Tao thinks that Wuchang is the heart of the people of the world, but where the hearts of the people in the world will go!"

Guo Songtao did not answer Zeng Guofan's question, but played tongue twisters with him, and listened to Zeng Guofan when he was surprised.

"Today, if Zhang Shiqing, the great official of the feudal territory, descended in Wuchang, if Zuo Hucai's reputation is full of Huguang, he also served him, the news came out, Huguangyan was not shaken, and then the talents of Huguang would be willing to lie in the wilderness, so that the hearts of the people of Huguang will naturally return to Wuchang and the Han army!"

Guo Songtao's words vibrated in Zeng Guofan's ears like thunder, not to mention other people, even if his own brother heard that someone like Zhang Shiqing had already descended to the Han Dynasty, he also couldn't calm down, thinking that the change in the number of qi in the world had been revealed, not to mention those virtuous people who were in the wilderness?

If this is the case, wouldn't the hearts of the people of Huguang be attributed to Wuchang, how far is it from getting the hearts of the people in the world? Compared with the imperial court, those in Wuchang and the Han people also, compared with Jiangning and Wuchang, do not believe in cults and abide by holy religions. Under the rise of one and the other, when the hearts of the people of the world are all returned, isn't it the day when the national spirit of the Qing Dynasty is exhausted?

Frightened in his heart, Zeng Guofan couldn't speak for a long time, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because he knew very well what would happen in the future, and at that time, this Great Qing Kingdom ......

But the emperor treats me like a mountain, and I can......

"Yunxian, remember, when I was guarding at home, it was Yunxian who lobbied me home, and I came out of the mountain!"

At this time, Zeng Guofan seemed extremely calm, he stared at Dongting Lake, and said the past.

"In another day, if you know the difficulty of this time, will Yunxian persuade me to go out of the mountain?"

"This ......"

At that time, the reason why Guo Songtao persuaded him to go out of the mountain was for a reason, and when he saw that he reminded him of yesterday's old events, he explained.

"Although the Cantonese bandits win the hearts and minds of the people with national righteousness, those they rely on worship God and worship Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother; believing in the paganism of Jesus and obsessed with the heresy of the New Testament; Everywhere he passed, he destroyed the Confucian tablet and burned the Shizi Xue Palace, which was the enemy of our Chinese civilization for thousands of years, which has aroused the anger of the heavens and the resentment. All my disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and Sven's generation, all of them are hated with gritted teeth. Even the foolish people in the countryside and the pawns of the peddlers could not tolerate the atrocities of smashing the Bodhisattva gods and the statue of Emperor Guan Yue. If we defend the banner of the famous religion, we will surely win the hearts of the people of the world. Everyone in the world will belong to the division of King Qin, so can't the Cantonese bandits last long? But now, the world is unpredictable, and you need to be cautious! ”

A sentence that the trend of the world is unpredictable but expresses Guo Songtao's true thoughts in his heart, although he feels that the trend of the world may belong to Wuchang, but he is not so sure, but this kind of thing really needs to take too many risks.

And when Zeng Guofan heard him say this, he also nodded thoughtfully, and after looking at Guo Songtao for a while, the light in his eyes flashed, and he said.

"Unzen, it seems that you have already made a decision?"

"Then you were born...... Hey"

Faced with Zeng Guofan's question, Guo Songtao first nodded, and then looked at him with a long sigh.

Looking at these two, Zeng Guobao was confused, he didn't know what these two brothers were playing here, but he could feel the change in the eldest brother's mood, just when he didn't know why, he saw the eldest brother standing by the wall with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at Dongting, as if he had realized something.

"Relying on the sky and the sea are innumerable, and the flowing water and mountains know themselves. Yunxian, this time you and I will say goodbye, please cherish it in the future! ”

A short poem shows that Zeng Guofan, who is determined to do so, did not look back at Guo Songtao, and Guo Songtao bowed to him.

"Disheng, from now on, I cherish myself!" (To be continued.) )
