Chapter 734: That person is Sun Kewang
"Defeated?"
Changsha prefect You Taizhong was dumbfounded, Sun Kewang also frowned, he thought that Shi Lin was also from the eight families of the Han army, the general of the tiger, and he was trained in the Han army at a young age, and he sat in Shaanxi for several years.

At this time, another group of defeated soldiers surrounded them, and one of them said: "The long-haired thief's firearms are very powerful, I watched them go directly to the pacesetter of the governor, and then it was like a random explosion like firecrackers for the New Year, and it didn't take long for the Shaanxi soldiers to stand it." I waited until I saw that the governor was defeated, and I knew that it was not good, so I hurried back, and then I picked up a small life. ”
"It is said that the Shaanxi soldiers were stripped naked after being caught by the Taiping Kou, and drove down the river one by one bare-chested, and they were all drowned." A soldier who hid in the pile of dead people and pretended to be dead and fled said with palpitations.
"Do you know that the Governor has ever escaped?" You Taizhong swallowed his throat and asked him what he was most concerned about.
The defeated soldiers and the one shook their heads, and they were frightened and fled for their lives, and who noticed the life or death of the governor.
You Taizhong sighed secretly, knowing that Shi Lin was afraid that he would be more auspicious. Sun Kewang also frowned, and glanced at Wu Fengsheng, both of them were speechless.
"Lord Wang, why don't we go back first, and then think of another way?"
You Taizhong saw that Sun Kewang's face sank like water, and he was even more afraid, he was now pinning his life on this righteous king, if he lost his spirit, it would really be the sky falling.
What else can Sun Kewang say, these defeated soldiers must be useless, and they can't even be put in the city. Not to mention anything else, just because these people don't take him as a righteous king in their eyes at all, Sun Kewang can still expect them to obey him? Don't add to the mess if you don't help when you arrive.
When he went back, Sun Kewang was very sad, sighed all the way, and said to Wu Fengsheng that if the front army was still there, why did he fall to such a miserable state today.
Wu Fengsheng could only keep consoling the benefactor, pointing out that although this Changsha City is dangerous at the moment, it may not be an opportunity for the prince. The so-called wealth and danger are seeking, at the moment the loyal battalion is making trouble in Hubei, Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, can't spare his hand to rescue Changsha at all, and the Zheng army in Jinxia downstream is attacking the Yangtze River, and the Qing army in Jiangning and Jiangxi has no way to rescue Changsha, Beijing is too far away, I heard that Shunzhi decided to drive the expedition in person, then there will be no reinforcements sent to Hunan, so Shi Lin, the unlucky governor of Shaanxi, is afraid that the Qing court will give Hunan the last straw.
Wu Fengzhi thinks that the current Changsha is an orphan whose father is not close and his mother is not painful, and no one cares about the gains and losses of Changsha. However, if Sun Kewang can hold Changsha City, then this orphan is his. At that time, if some means are used to support some cronies to hold the military power in their hands, it may not be impossible to make a comeback, and no matter how bad it is, the Qing court will be impressed by Sun Kewang and entrust him with important tasks, instead of being unpopular like now, and every official can step on it.
Hearing Wu Fengzhi's words, Sun Kewang was greatly moved, and his confidence in defending the city was no longer shaken. He wasn't worried that You Taizhong, the prefect, would trap him, he was only worried about how much time the Taiping Army would give him to integrate the forces in the city.
...........
You Taizhong returned to the prefect's yamen in a daze, and a group of officials and subordinates immediately surrounded him, you asked Sun Kewang and the situation in the military camp one by one, You Taizhong was so annoyed that he drove everyone out, and went to the study to write a letter again.
Before Shi Lin arrived, You Taizhong didn't know how many letters for help he sent to Wuchang, Nanchang, Anqing, Jiangning, and Jingshi, and each letter was written with sincerity and touching, but the result was that they were all lost in the sea and had no effect. finally looked forward to the new governor and the 2,000 elite Han troops he brought, but they were buried in a blink of an eye.
You Taizhong really wanted to cry without tears, he didn't know where the Taiping Army was now, and he didn't know if Sun Kewang was really willing to defend Changsha for him, in case this righteous king patted his ass and ran away again, then he You Zhifu would have to die with Changsha City.
No, I can't live, and you don't want to live!
You Taizhong suddenly gritted his teeth, threw down the brush, summoned his cronies, and ordered them to take people to look at Sun Kewang's Yiwang Mansion, if they found that Sun Kewang was going to run, then they would immediately arrest him.
You Taizhong really wronged Sun Kewang, although he didn't have much confidence in holding Changsha, but he never thought of escaping. Because he knows very well that no matter where he goes, his situation will not be better than in Changsha. What's more, Wu Fengzhi told him that although Changsha City was dangerous, if he could defend it, it would be an opportunity, a rare opportunity, so Sun Kewang was discussing with his subordinates how to defend the city.
However, at this time, there was chaos in the city of Changsha, because some people shouted in the city that the Taiping Kou had come to kill.
Because of the burning and looting of the eastward detachment of the predecessor of the 15th town of the Taiping Army in the four mansions of Baoqing, the people in Changsha City undoubtedly regarded the Taiping Army as a flood beast and regarded it as a greater Qing Dynasty. The real Manchurian soldiers are still terrifying, so when they heard that the Taiping Kou had entered the city, the people were suddenly frightened. The defeated soldiers of the Green Battalion who fled back also trembled all of a sudden, and they couldn't believe their ears.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the defeated soldiers, who had long been frightened by the bow birds, rushed out of the barracks and ran out in a panic. They are cowardly, but they are very smart, knowing that Taiping Kou is really going to enter the city, and the first thing to end up is the military camp and their soldiers who eat the grain of the Qing Emperor!
When Sun Kewang led people out, Changsha City was already in chaos, and You Taizhong's soldiers and Tuan Yong couldn't suppress it at all. The city was full of crying and screaming, no one knew whether the Taiping army had entered the city, Sun Kewang was worried that the Taiping army had made a fine work into the city to spread rumors, so that the city would be in chaos, and they would take advantage of the chaos to succeed, so he immediately rushed to the city gate with his subordinates, as long as the city gate was not lost, no matter how chaotic the city was, it could be suppressed; If the gates are lost, everything will be finished.
galloped all the way, and I don't know how many people were knocked down, but when Sun Kewang rushed to the city gate, he saw that the city gate had been opened, and a group of Taiping soldiers wearing red red army uniforms had entered the city.
"That person is Sun Kewang!"
A small banner under Daniel Zhang who had served as a soldier in Sun Kewang's front army saw Sun Kewang suddenly appear, and was first stunned, and then shouted in surprise.
"That person is Sun Kewang?!"
Daniel Zhang was overjoyed, he really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to find them, and it took no effort to get them. (To be continued.) )
