Zeng Guofan was used to getting up early, but he got up late today. When he got up from the bed and Jiaoxiu waited for him to get dressed, he squinted a pair of small triangular eyes and looked at Jiaoxiu with satisfaction, patting her little hands. It's not the same to have a woman around here and not having a woman! He felt the warmth of home again.

He originally wanted to have breakfast with Jiaoxiu first, and then gather Taqib and the others to discuss and discuss, but as soon as he called in the relatives outside, he learned that Taqib and a few staff members were already waiting in the front hall. He frowned, so he had to give up his plan to eat first, comfort Jiao Xiuxian and wait, and then paced the official to the front hall.

Seeing Taqi's face full of gloom and anxious looks, and then looking at the seemingly absent-minded expressions of several staff, Zeng Guofan sat on a chair in the middle of the room, twisting his beard with his hands, and muttered slowly, "Don't mess up, don't panic when you're in danger, and have the demeanor of a general." Only by resting well and cultivating a good temperament can we properly plan for a good time. In addition, this "he seldom copied the words of the saints, because he himself was a "saint" and said that his talents showed learning.

Tazib's mouth opened twice, and finally he patiently continued to listen to the "truth" of the gentleman.

Zeng Guofan hadn't said enough, but he suddenly noticed an anomaly. Zhang Shoulin and Li Xianzhang, who usually rely on think tanks, were not seated, and the sixth brother Zeng Guohua did not come, "Tower Commander, why didn't Shoulin and them come?" "He had to stop his play.

"I escaped." Tazib looked up at the roof.

"Escaped?" Zeng Guofan's eyes widened, "How is it possible, the sixth child can escape?" ”

"Alas!" Tazib let out a long sigh and told the truth about what had happened before. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "At this time, the sixth child is not only negligent in his duties, but also knows that the army is unstable, but also plays with obscenity, if he is not punished, it will be even more difficult for this soldier to lead in the future."

Zeng Guofan didn't listen to Taqibu's words, and Zhang Shoulin actually fled with two sentinels, which is enough to show that it is difficult to control the military spirit in the city anymore. He began to think about suicide again, and as soon as he remembered that he had just played with this hand yesterday, it seemed that it was not appropriate to come back immediately, so he sacrificed the magic weapon of crying. Liu Bei cried out of the world by crying back then, and I, Zeng Guofan, must at least cry out an army loyal to my Zeng family.

He cried sadly, cried and beat his chest and feet, and cried earth-shatteringly. While crying, he didn't forget to count Zhang Shoulin's disloyalty, unfilial piety, treachery, and incorruptibility, but the subordinates in the hall didn't buy his account like before, and they didn't even have a single one to dissuade them. Not only did they not, but the staff even laughed secretly in their hearts, laughing at the "wise words" that the handsome man said before sitting down. It's good now, Zeng Dashuai can't end crying.

He had no choice but to stop cursing Zhang Shoulin and the others for the time being, and began to cry while thinking about the way out in the future. In fact, until now, Zeng Guofan still has a fluke mentality, that is, what Taqib used to deceive Ximen Bingyong, the long-haired people are still afraid of themselves, and they dare not attack Zhuzhou, so they have come up with one after another "three indiscriminate" means. It is said that Shi Dakai is talented, but he is just a doll who doesn't understand military affairs and has not dried up, and he has nothing in the art of war until now. It seems that thirty-six plans are the best.

Zeng Guofan entered the city for ten days and finally came up with such a plan. He put away his tears, rubbed his dizzy head, and looked at the people in the hall, "Zeng's formation of the Hunan Army is definitely not for his own selfishness, but for the sake of the saints and the kings. Forget about the matter of the sixth child, the sentry commander on duty has to cut off his head in public, military law is not child's play, and it is not ambiguous. Originally, according to the military law, it was necessary to kill all the soldiers who were on duty last night, but now in the special period, it is enough. At present, Changsha is not able to go, or go back to Hengzhou first, wait to re-accumulate strength, and then compete with Changmao. ”

"Dashuai, there has been a long-haired sailor in the south of the city, and the ships used are built by us in Hengzhou, so Hengzhou has long been lost." Tazib stood up and spoke loudly, the corners of his eyes moistened. What kind of person is this? It's just a real bastard and idiot. In that case, why bother in the first place?

"What? Hengzhou lost? Zeng Guofan sat on the chair with his hand, leaned forward, and who knew that it was dark in front of him in an instant, and he fell to the ground. He wasn't pretending.

The Heavenly Army does not attack Zhuzhou, but it is not afraid of anyone. If Zeng Guofan dared to start a war with the Celestial Army in the first three days of entering the city, then Zhuzhou would have been gone a long time ago. It was precisely because of Zeng Guofan's inaction, coupled with Shi Xiangzhen's bold sneak attack on Hengzhou City, that the winged king Shi Dakai gave up the idea of attacking Zhuzhou first, and instead concentrated on dealing with Changsha. Not only that, but he also ordered Hu Yihuang in Jiangxi to send troops and horses to attack Pingxiang to dispel the idea of Zeng Guo's eastward flight. Zeng Guofan is already a bird in a cage, a fish in the pond, just waiting to find time to get it.

Shi Dakai first divided his troops to attack Liuyang, lured and eliminated the Qing army that came out from Changsha to reinforce it, and at the same time, Liuyang also fell into the hands of the Heavenly Army. At this time, the trenches under Wei Jun's subordinates in the north of Changsha City were dug up to a distance of only twenty steps from the city wall. In the south, Shi Xiangzhen had already left Xiangtan and dug a trench under the city. The preparations for the siege of Changsha by the Celestial Army were fully ready. Zeng Guofan would never have thought that the bluffing Heavenly Army was under the city of Zhuzhou, with a total of only 4,000 men and horses.

There was a panic up and down in Changsha City. As the Celestial Army's siege of Changsha intensified, the news of the Zeng's brothers and those who helped the Zeng clan to form the Hunan Army was harshly suppressed in Xiangxiang, especially when the 2,000 men and horses who tried to support Liuyang had no way to return as soon as they left the city, the Celestial Army's persuasion announcement began to play an increasingly effective role. Rumors spread in Changsha City, the people were excited, the original Hunan and Chu regiments in the city quietly took off their military uniforms and mixed with the people, and some of them fled the city at night, even the thousands of green battalion soldiers in the city were also panicked all day long, and the soldiers had no heart to fight.

In the face of the harsh situation, Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, Xu Youren, the political envoy Xu Youren, the envoy Tao Enpei, the governor Bao Qibao, and the prefect of Changsha, Jin Dawei, discussed many times and tried their best to save Changsha from the crisis. First of all, the political envoy Xu Youren and the envoy Tao Enpei proposed to immediately ask the sage to impeach the squire Zeng Guofan, and the Hunan army kept dispatching, except for being able to harass the local gentry, but it was vulnerable to a real war. What's more, Zeng Guofan still watched the fire from the other side when he arrived in Zhuzhou, and he could not cultivate this practice of putting national interests behind himself, so he must immediately dismiss this useless local armed force and severely punish Zeng Guofan.

Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang, like Zeng Guofan, was also a mediocre person. It was precisely because he was deeply touched by his incompetence that he used to desperately support Zeng Guofan's training of the Hunan army, and he wanted to use Zeng Guofan to relieve himself of his responsibility. Now no matter how stupid he is, he can see through it, Zeng Guofan is nothing more than a talker, and he is not as good as himself. I was finally kind to him, and this thing turned a blind eye to his own danger. He doesn't listen to the emperor's words, nor does he listen to the words of his benefactor, only he himself is the most important. Therefore, Luo Bingzhang denounced the shortcomings of the local group training in his recital to Xianfeng, and implored the saint to stop being obsessed with this useless strategy.

Regarding the endless trenching of the Taiping army outside the city, Luo Bingzhang and others unanimously thought that it was the Taiping army's plan to bomb the city in the crypt. After thinking about it, Luo Bingzhang actually came up with a good solution. If you bury a water tank at the base of the city wall a few steps, you can hear if someone is digging a hole in the city wall again. Admiral Bao Qibao added to this, don't they all say that the blind have the most sensitive hearing, so you might as well concentrate the blind people in the city, and each person is responsible for a tank, so as not to worry about not discovering the movements of the Taiping army.

As a result, the cylinder in Changsha City suddenly became a strange commodity, and the blind man was even more sought-after. As long as he is a blind man, he can sit in a large vat and receive a silver reward every day, so the blind team that is in short supply will naturally be mixed with some ruffians. In order to deceive more rewards, false information emerged one after another, and suddenly there were voices from the east and suddenly movements from the west, causing the officers and men to rush to dig and dig wildly, and they were exhausted for their lives.

Luo Bingzhang felt more and more that the end was coming. At noon, he wanted to gather a few more dignitaries during the meal, but he was afraid that he would be alone, and he would have no bottom in his heart. But after waiting for a long time, only one Bao Qibao came, and Xu Youren and Tao Enpei actually claimed to be sick. David Jin was even more surprised, saying that he was leading his servants to help a lonely family repair the house, and it was going to be winter, so the people could not be punished.

Luo Bingzhang's nose was almost crooked, these bastards are leaving a way back for themselves. He looked at Bao Qibao, and Bao Qibao looked at him, all of them were helpless. "Brother, you have to persevere, the Holy Lord will not give up Hunan." Luo Bingzhang's voice was a little choked.

Bao Qibao sighed, "Leave it to fate!" ”

At this moment, a loud roar was heard from the north of the city, and the governor's mansion was also shaken, the window paper rattled, and the dust on the roof spilled on the wine table. There was not a moment of silence, and there was also an explosion to the south.

When the wine glass in Luo Bingzhang's hand fell to the ground, his whole body trembled, and after being stunned for a while, he couldn't help but shout, "Blind, why didn't the blind man hear it?" ”
