A moment ago, the imperial court also issued a holy decree to the two of them, demanding that the remnants of the Taiping Army be quickly exterminated, and the decisive battle with Zhang Yun should be postponed first!

But in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yun's cavalry troops had already arrived at his side......

Now we have to discuss, who to hit first?

Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang both saw a touch of bitterness in each other's eyes!

"This time Zhang Yun is menacing, although there are only less than 100,000 troops, and there are only more than 20,000 cavalry, but the city of Nanjing is ......"

Li Hongzhang can't go on when he talks about this, it is really the next battle in Nanjing, which has left him with too much psychological shadow!

Zuo Zongtang looked at Li Hongzhang, who was frowning, and said, "I take the liberty of asking, is Zhang Yun really as powerful as rumored?" ”

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly, in fact, everyone who had never seen a battle under the city of Nanjing didn't believe that Zhang Yun was as powerful as rumored!

But Li Hongzhang has experienced the Battle of Nanjing, and he naturally understands what the name Zhang Yun represents...... At this time, he faced Zuo Zongtang's questioning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Hongzhang thought for a while and said, "Zhang Yun is even more powerful than the legend......"

Tso......

Jin Yishan with 20,000 cavalry, appeared in high spirits at the boundary of Shangqiu, at this time he kept sending scouts to find out the details of Li Hongzhang, and let the remnants of the Taiping army move closer to him.

Two days later.

Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng finally got rid of the entanglement of the Manchu cavalry and joined forces with Jin Yishan......

"Haha......"

Zhou and Yang laughed and greeted Jin Yishan, and received a warm response from him.

After defeating the puppet Qing cavalry again, the combined forces of the Patriotic Army and the Taiping Army finally won a precious period of time to reorganize the army.

Yang Desheng and the others were busy reorganizing the army without mentioning it, and Zheng Qiushan at this time, after visiting Jin Yishan, got an order.

Go to the 20,000 cavalry and select 3,000 cavalry to come out and reorganize your own cavalry division, this is not what Jin Yishan meant.

But Zhang Yun rewarded him for his merits, and the general died in a hundred battles...... There was nothing wrong with this, but Zhang Yun didn't like to hear it, and more importantly, the big war was coming!

At this time, if you don't increase the power of Zheng Qiushan, who has been baptized by war, will you still increase the power of Jin Yishan?

Therefore, although Jin Yishan was very unhappy, he still had to give a part of the cake in his hand to Zheng Qiushan to take care of......

Send it away...... Zheng Qiushan, who was a little ecstatic, only then did Jin Yishan look at Li Qing and said: "Jin came from afar, and he doesn't know the specific situation here, and he doesn't know much about Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang...... I hope that Master Li will not hesitate to give advice! ”

Li Qing got up and saluted before he said: "Chief of General Staff Jin has killed the small one, according to the grade, the small one is only a fourth-grade petty official, and he really can't deserve the ...... of Chief of General Staff Jin."

"Master Li, you are humble...... Who doesn't know that the Military Intelligence Bureau is humble and powerful, just like you Director Wang! Even Lord Tie Niu is afraid that he will have to give him three points, which is majestic, tsk! ”

Li Qing's face was pale, not to mention the others, if Zhang Yun or Tie Niu heard it, Jin Yishan's words just now, I am afraid that even Wang Xiaofei, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, would be unlucky.

Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Chief of General Staff Jin should not make such jokes, otherwise if it reaches the ears of the commander, I am afraid that it will cause another wave......"

Jin Yishan looked at him with a playful smile, and did not force the topic to continue...... Instead, we got down to business!

"How many troops does Li Hongzhang have? These Master Li should be clear, right? Please don't hesitate to give us advice! ”

Seeing that Jin Yishan was finally normal, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up: "According to Senior Commander Zheng's personal investigation, as well as all the agents of our Military Intelligence and Security Bureau...... After a painstaking analysis, Li already had a rough guess about the strength of the puppet Qing in this place! ”

"The foreigners obviously won't let the puppet Qing court really stand up...... This will hit their interests, so although the puppet Qing court keeps buying breech-loading rifles, the number of rifles that can be bought in the end should not exceed about 250,000. ”

"Among them, the puppet Qing still has to keep tens of thousands of cavalry, if it is calculated in this way, Li Hongzhang on the opposite side should only have more than 200,000 rifles, and which tens of thousands of so-called puppet Qing iron cavalry ......"

"And this amount is not much different from the information we have found, it should be true...... That's all Li knows, I hope it can be helpful to you, Chief of General Staff, Kim! ”

When Li Qing recounted the information of the Manchu army opposite, Jin Yishan's fingers kept tapping on the table, and as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Yishan stood up and began to circle in the tent.

At the same time, he secretly analyzed the combat effectiveness of the puppet Qing Dynasty in his heart, which more than 200,000 infantry, in fact, Jin Yishan did not pay attention to it, after all, he was a cavalry unit, he could fight if he wanted to, and he could leave if he wanted to......

But the tens of thousands of cavalry troops that still existed in the puppet Qing Dynasty made Jin Yishan frown, in case they were bitten by the time!

"Hey......

At that time~ Once a large number of troops are lost, this Lord Tie Niu will give up his face and win the position he has won, I am afraid that he will be taken by Zhang Yun openly, and even Lord Tie Niu, Zhang Yun's henchman, I am afraid that he will not be able to say anything for himself.

So now Jin Yishan is very entangled, Zhang Yun is following behind him, and he is also rushing here day and night, he is originally a cavalryman, and he can surpass him far, but he has no choice but to be responsible for opening the way for him...... It's only been delayed until now!

Judging from the information received yesterday, Zhang Yundu is about to arrive in Henan, if he doesn't make any moves at this time. When Zhang Yun arrives here, will he have his own good fruits to eat?

Perhaps seeing Jin Yishan's entanglement, Li Qing appealed for the same interests, and didn't care about Jin Yishan's temptation of himself just now.

Suddenly spoke: "Chief of General Staff Jin is thinking about it, how to attack that hedgehog in the pseudo-Qing, right?" Li has a way here, I don't know if Chief of General Staff Jin wants to hear it? ”

"Speak ......"

When Jin Yishan was in a hurry, Li Qing highlighted this statement, so he couldn't help urging him again and again!

Seeing this, Li Qing didn't sell anything, and said directly: "There are still 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry on the Taiping Army's side, and after joining forces with you as Chief of General Staff Jin, there are also 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry, to be honest, such a force is very easy to operate......

"If you forcibly attack the puppet Qing battalion, with Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, the two old foxes' black belly, then Chief of General Staff Jin, you will definitely be fooled, but what if we just harass?"

"Anyway, the marshal's order is only for you, to a certain extent, to contain the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty first, and keep the fire of the Taiping Army from being extinguished!"

With Li Qing's narration, Jin Yishan's eyes became brighter and brighter......
