"What?"

Gao Qi was stunned, the eldest brother didn't let himself take the initiative to attack? Are you dizzy? At the moment of great revenge, he didn't even let Lao Tzu attack to take revenge?

"Big brother, you're confused! Could it be that the blood feud of the brothers was thus abandoned? ”

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Revenge, of course we have to revenge, but it's not now, we still have more important things to do!" First dismantle the Eight Banners ******! In addition, they immediately sent someone to Jinan to send a letter, transferred to Shanghai, and ordered Guanting and Chunyu to restrain their subordinates not to fight again and retreat for a hundred miles! ”

The murderous intent in Guo Ye's heart has finally appeared, and he must clean up these wastes, otherwise, he will continue to pull his hind legs in the future!

Gao Qi reacted at this time, it seems that it is not that he does not want to take revenge, but takes this opportunity to clean up the stumbling blocks on the road!

Gao Qi said excitedly: "Okay, big brother, we won't take the initiative to attack in this operation, but if the bandits don't have long eyes and just hit the muzzle, then it's no wonder to me, Lao Tzu must teach them how to behave!" ”

Guo Ye nodded and replied, "Okay, but when you arrive in Baoding, you must follow Huanzhang's instructions, he is thoughtful and thoughtful." ”

Gao Qi took the order and left.

Guo Ye took Wang Haonan and more than a dozen brothers and galloped all the way to the capital.

In less than two days, the news of Guo Ye's return reached Jinan Mansion, and Guo Ye's letter was obtained, Guo Songtao was overjoyed, and ran to Guo's mansion as soon as possible to send a letter to his two younger siblings.

"Brother and sister, are you relieved this time? Ziming has already returned, and he will come back when he returns to the capital and deals with the affairs in hand. ”

"Hmph, this damn killer, he didn't go back to Jinan first to visit our mother-in-law, but ran to the capital, bastard!"

Now, Dong E's anger has not subsided, and she snorted angrily.

Forehead......

Guo Songtao's face darkened, and he said with a smile: "Brother and sister, after all, Ziming is now a first-class duke, and this return to the country is naturally to go to the capital to thank him first, and the war is urgent, where can I take care of the personal feelings of my children?" ”

"Hmph, maybe, he's hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house in the capital, this guy, what can't he do? Maybe it's a tryst......"

Zheng Qingxue on the side hurriedly glanced at Dong E with her eyes and signaled Dong E not to talk nonsense.

Dong E just woke up, although the eldest brother is not an outsider, but after all, Guo Ye has a leg with the one in the Forbidden City, it is better not to say it, it is too shocking.

Guo Songtao comforted a few words of kindness, turned around and left, because there was something more important to do, that is, to immediately order Zuo Guigui and Yan Chunyu to stop the attack, not only to stop the attack, but also to unite Zeng Zuo Li and others to put pressure on the imperial court, and it was necessary to disband the Eight Banners, revoke the banner salary, and even let the imperial court remove the privileges of all Manchurians!

Originally, Guo Songtao was familiar with Zeng Guofan, as the original Zeng Guofan's staff, Zeng Guofan appreciated Guo Songtao a lot, and now because of the purchase of arms, Zeng Guofan owes Guo Songtao a great favor, without that batch of arms, now the Hunan army and the Huai army have long been defeated, and now it is time to return the favor.

When the telegram reached the hands of Zuo Guigui and Yan Chunyu, Zuo Guigui was persuading Yan Chunyu that the news that Jinan was raided by the twist bandits had been notified by Guo Songtao's telegram, Yan Chunyu jumped like thunder, and had to pull the training army camp westward, advance into Anhui, and then turn around and go north to Henan, fight to the death with the Northern Taiping Army and the twist bandits, and avenge the dead brothers!

Now that the enemy is present, where does Zuo Guigui dare to let Yan Chunyu turn around and go west? That let the three towns of Shandong face Shi Dakai's Taiping army alone, Zuo Guigui has no certainty of defeating the enemy, after all, the combat power of the three towns of Shandong is still a little behind the training battalion.

Yan Chunyu was dead or alive, just about to leave, when the two of them were at a stalemate, Guo Songtao's second telegram arrived again, this time the telegram was not sent in the name of Guo Songtao, but in the name of Guo Ye!

When the two of them saw the signature behind them, they were a little confused, Guo Ye actually came back, and he came back so quickly!

"Chunyu, see it, now Futai has already given an order, ordering us to withdraw for a hundred miles, restrain the troops, and not participate in the war!"

Zuo Guigui smiled bitterly.

"Why? Why? Lao Tzu just wants revenge, is ****** still wrong? ”

Yan Chunyu still didn't give up, Zuo Guigui shouted, "Chunyu, now is not the time to be rash, see clearly, this is Futai's electric order, do you still look at disobedience?" Don't want your dog's head anymore? ”

Yan Chunyu slammed the revolver in his hand against the wall, took a few steps back and forth, and shouted, "Brother Guanting, what does this big brother mean?" Are we going to ignore the great enemy? ”

"Chunyu, you still don't know your eldest brother? Is he a vengeful man? Wait, in less than two months, the twist bandits in the north will definitely be wiped out, because that guy is born to protect the short, and even the prince refuses to let go, let alone a group of bandits? ”

Yan Chunyu didn't speak, Zuo Guigui continued, "Pass the order, the army retreats eighty miles to the north and retreats to the Wuxi area, the Taiping army is willing to toss, let them toss, this time Futai let us truce, there is a purpose, this is to take the opportunity to bring down some big people in the court!" ”

Yan Chunyu's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Okay, since this is the case, let's withdraw our troops immediately!" ”

When Zuo Guigui and they discussed, another telegram was also put on Zeng Guofan's table, Zeng Guofan only frowned, for Guo Songtao's opinion, Zeng Guofan was a little undecided, forcing the imperial court to give up the Eight Banners and stop the flag salary, of course this is a good thing, but this country is also the country of the Manchu Dynasty, doing this, is not what a courtier should do, and the water is too deep, one is not careful, but there is a catastrophe.

However, what Guo Songtao said is very clear, that is, Guo Ye is back, and this is due to Guo Ye's instructions, in the first battle of Jinan, the Eight Banners missed a major event, and the arsenal and Qilu Bank that were almost killed all fell into the hands of the twist bandits.

But the huge amount of silver in Qilu Bank is an astronomical amount, which can make the twist bandit and the long hair soar into the sky!

To participate, or not to participate?

Zeng Guofan hesitated for a while, now that the Hunan army is already in decline, if you want to keep your position, you must have strong reinforcements in the court, there is no doubt that Guo Ye is the best candidate! (To be continued.) )
