Yang Xiuqing sighed. Said: "Wing King, it's not that I have the ambition to destroy my own prestige, it's really Li Zhen who is too powerful." When Li Zhen was still in Shanghai, Li Xiucheng was defeated by Li Zhen again and again, and I scolded Li Xiucheng for being stupid and useless. It's a pity that Xiao Wangniang was defeated, losing more than 30,000 troops, and then losing more than 10,000 soldiers in my hands, I have to say that Li Zhen is very powerful. This man is young but cunning, an old fox. ”

When Shi Dakai heard this, he frowned and said: "Brother Dongwang is proficient in the art of war and is an outstanding commander; Li Xiucheng can fight well and is a good hand in fighting; Xiao Wangniang is brave and brave, and the battlefield is invincible. You all lost to Li Zhen, which shows that Li Zhen should not be underestimated. ”

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, her heart suddenly felt a lot better.

At the very least, give him a step down.

Shi Dakai continued: "Brother Wang, I don't know much about Li Zhen, almost all of them are from others. You personally fought with Li Zhen and had contact with Li Zhen, so tell me more about it. ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "Okay, I'll start from when I met Li Zhen!" ”

Immediately, Yang Xiuqing started from the time he knew Li Zhen, from Li Zhen's envoy to Nanjing to ask for ransom, and then to Li Xiucheng's attack on Shanghai...... One by one, one by one, and finally the recent war. Not only that, Yang Xiuqing told everything she knew about Li Zhen in detail, hoping to help Shi Dakai more.

After everything was said, Shi Dakai fell into silence.

He closed his eyes and thought about Li Zhen in his mind.

After a long time, Shi Dakai opened his eyes and said slowly: "Brother Wang, Li Zhen is an opponent. But please rest assured, Brother Wang, I will definitely defeat Li Zhen. In fact, Li Zhen and Shi Dakai are about the same age, Li Zhen is twenty-three or four years old, and Shi Dakai is not very old, and now he is only a twenty-four-year-old young man.

Because of this, Shi Da's happiness aroused a competitive spirit.

Yang Xiuqing looked at Shi Dakai and said solemnly: "Yiwang, your main task next is to deal with Li Zhen's main force. You lead the army to attack Li Zhen, you must be careful. ”

Shi Dakai waved his hand and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I have my own plans." In a short period of time, I had no intention of leaving Tianjing, and I waited to gather all the news about Li Zhen before I led my troops into battle. ”

……

North Palace, in the main hall.

At this time, there were only two people in the temple, and there was not a single attendant. Of these two people, one of them is Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and the other is Qin Rigang, the king of Yan.

Wei Changhui said in a deep voice: "King Yan, the Wing King is back. ”

Qin Rigang said: "I know! ”

Wei Changhui said: "The Wing King returned with a large army, and the Wing King was still talking to Yang Xiuqing in the East Prince's Mansion. If we do it, we will definitely alarm Shi Dakai's soldiers, what do you think? ”

Qin Rigang snorted and said, "Shi Da is invincible in the war, and he is the god of war in the army. If Shi Dakai stays in Tianjing, we must not do anything, otherwise we will disturb Shi Dakai, and the gains outweigh the losses. Not to mention taking down Yang Xiuqing, even we have to be involved, the only thing we can do now is to wait. Shi Dakai always has to deal with Li Zhen, and what we have is time, there will be no problem. ”

Wei Changhui said: "Okay, that's it. ”

The two got together and kept discussing the details of dealing with Yang Xiuqing.

At this time, Yang Xiuqing had no idea that the danger was approaching him.

……

Time flashed, and it was already the beginning of August.

During this period of time, the development of the camp has entered the regular stage, and everything is developing in an orderly manner. During this period of time, because there was no Taiping army attack, he was also rare and idle.

In the barracks, drills are underway.

Li Zhen took the dragon boil and slowly patrolled the camp.

Long Xi looked at the soldiers in the army, and thought of some things that Huang Qiang had told him. Long Xi took two quick steps, followed Li Zhen's steps closely, and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, it's August now, and the time for Mrs. to give birth is not far away." What's next for you? If you don't exterminate the bandits, how can you go to Beijing? ”

Li Zhen immediately stopped, and the expression on his face changed.

Regarding Zhilan, Li Zhen has always avoided it.

Because Li Zhen faced a problem, only by exterminating the bandits could he go to Beijing to meet Zhilan. However, once the bandits are eliminated and there are no people to contain the Manchus, it is very likely that Li Zhen will lose the space for promotion, and he will even face a situation where the children of the Eight Banners will attack him en masse. However, Li Zhen did not exterminate the bandits, and he could not go to Beijing to meet Zhilan.

Such a difficult choice made Li Zhen very difficult.

In fact, Li Zhen has been thinking about a way, wanting the best of both worlds, but after all, it is difficult to think of a way. Don't look at Xianfeng's extreme kindness to Li Zhen, and almost no restrictions on Li Zhen, but the person who can achieve the position of emperor is definitely not a bloodless person. Once Li Zhen angered Xianfeng, he would definitely be hit.

"Report!"

Just as Li Zhen was deep in thought, a soldier quickly ran over and stood in front of Li Zhen and raised his hand to salute.

Li Zhen retracted his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing this, Long Xi sighed in his heart.

He brought up the matter of Zhilan because he wanted to discuss with Li Zhen and solve this matter completely. Now he was interrupted by the soldiers who suddenly ran over, and Long Xi found out that Li Zhen didn't want to talk much about it, and he felt sorry in his heart.

The soldier reported with a serious expression: "Marshal, a group of people have come from outside the camp, and the leader is called Zeng Guofan." He took more than a dozen people with him and wanted to meet the marshal. ”

"Zeng Guofan?"

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, reached out and pressed the soldier's shoulder, and asked unconvincedly, "Are you sure it's Zeng Guofan?" ”

"Well, it's really Zeng Guofan."

The soldier nodded, affirmatively.

"Hahaha......"

Li Zhen laughed, let go of the hand holding the soldier, and walked quickly towards the gate of the camp. This smile, as well as Li Zhen's brisk walking towards the gate of the camp, made the soldiers and Long Xi who reported the news stunned. Because neither of them figured out why Li Zhen laughed after confirming that the person who came was Zeng Guofan, could it be an old acquaintance?

At this moment, Li Zhen's mood is indeed very comfortable.

The famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty took the initiative to visit, and Li Zhen was very happy in his heart.

For Zeng Guofan, Li Zhen is extremely familiar.

Moreover, Li Zhen knew that Zeng Guofan had not yet jumped into the dragon gate at this time, and he was depressed. Because at this time, Zeng Guofan was defeated in successive battles, and was almost killed by Shi Dakaike. After Li Zhen came to the gate of the camp, his eyes quickly glanced at the door, and finally landed on the person standing at the front.

This person has thin cheeks, prominent cheekbones, a long and thin face, deep and long nose on both sides, a pair of triangular eyes, and a pair of broom eyebrows.

Li Zhen glanced at it, and suddenly had an unusual feeling.

This person must be Zeng Guofan!

He already had a determination in his heart, strode up, stretched out his hand, and took the initiative to say: "Brother Bohan (Bohan is the character of Zeng Guofan), look up for a long time!" You're welcome here. ”

ps: The third update, it's finally done, call it a day. Ming'er doesn't go to work on weekends, so she can sleep lazy, so happy.
