"Chunyu, this time, I will hand over all the battles in Henan to you, remember to advance to the south with all my might, and push the troops to the east of Xinyang, ready to attack from behind the Taiping army at any time!"

Yan Chunyu's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that the eldest brother would let him take on this heavy responsibility!

It's not impossible to be alone, but when it comes to qualifications, He Qimou and Zuo Guigui, which one wants to be in front of him, it is natural for him to give them two a hand, even if it is Gao Qi, as the most elite commander of the first brigade, he must be ranked in front of him!

Zuo Guigui's eyebrows were raised, a little puzzled, he always thought that he would definitely lead the army to recover Henan, and enter northern Anhui to face Shi Dakai head-on, that must be Guo Ye's business, Zuo Guigui didn't think that he had the certainty of victory in the face of Shi Dakai.

Unexpectedly, it was Yan Chunyu who led the army to attack Henan alone, and it was a second mixed brigade!

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "What, you don't want to?" This time, you are the sharpest dagger in my hand, just like when you were fighting thousands of miles away and raiding the Twisted Army, you will fiercely threaten the back and ribs of the Taiping Army, ready to stab you fiercely at any time! This responsibility is very heavy! ”

"Boss!"

Gao Qi said dissatisfiedly: "Such a heavy task, Chunyu can do it, even if you want to go, then I will take the first brigade to go, right?" ”

Yan Chunyu stopped doing it and shouted, "Old Gao! You go? How old are you, this is the heavy responsibility given to me by the boss, what's the matter, why can't I do it? Didn't I fight better than you in war? Besides, there is also Brother Guanting above, even if I don't go, it will be Brother Guanting himself! ”

Guo Ye glared at the two of them fiercely, and replied lightly: "First, in the face of the main force of the Taiping Army, do you think that you can easily defeat Shi Dakai?" Even I have to go all out, I need Guanting to give me a counselor in military affairs at any time, Brother Qimou is better at cavalry combat, in Jiangnan, there is water everywhere, and this advantage cannot be brought into play; Second, I need a force to quickly insert into southeastern Henan and western Anhui to attract Shi Dakai's attention, Gao Qi, your first brigade is mainly infantry, how can you advance quickly? To fight this kind of battle, Chunyu and Tengjiao are better at it; Third, the First Brigade is the main elite, which is to play the greatest role, in the face of the Taiping Army, which is overwhelming, I need to have the most drastic means to give the Taiping Army the strongest psychological impact! Only the 1st Brigade will be able to complete this task, you and Chunyu will do their jobs, don't make any more trouble! ”

Yan Chunyu said with a smile: "Big brother, since this is the case, why don't I leave all the artillery and half of the infantry battalion, you only need to transfer three or four more cavalry battalions to me, plus those few Green guns are enough, wouldn't it advance faster?" ”

Zuo Guigui glanced at Yan Chunyu amusedly, and replied, "Okay, Chunyu, don't look for scolding." Replace your artillery with cavalry, and you can run rampant in Henan for a while, but what about entering the border of Anhui? Where are rivers everywhere, or the Qinling Mountains, and your cavalry can still run? Without artillery, how can you bring enough threat to the Taipings? ”

Yan Chunyu's face turned red, he was so happy, he got carried away! secretly glanced at the eldest brother, and saw that the eldest brother was already blue, so he hurriedly shrank his neck, made a lot of money with a muffled voice, and didn't talk anymore.

Zuo Guigui said in a deep voice: "Ming Shuai, this arrangement is very reasonable, it's just that we haven't gotten the battle report from the front for a while, I don't know what the situation of the Hunan army and the Huai army is now, these days have passed, and I don't know if they can hold on, Shi Dakai is very powerful, and the Taiping army has recently been equipped with a large number of foreign guns and foreign artillery, I really don't know where they got these guns, these foreigners are bold enough......"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and replied, "Don't doubt it, these foreign guns and cannons are all sold to them by me......"

Belch......

Not only Zuo Guigui, but also the others on the side were stunned!

Gao Qi's face was full of shock, and he shouted: "Big brother, you, you are a capital enemy, a capital enemy!" Are you stupid, or are you crazy? ”

Guo Ye said angrily: "Shut up, you're stupid!" If we don't sell these weapons to Shi Dakai, where will we get so much silver to continue fighting? Do you know how much silver Shi Dakai spent on buying three batches of arms one after another? ”

"I don't know, I just know that if we do this, we will throw a lot of lives into the brothers for no reason!"

Gao Qi was dissatisfied, no matter how much silver he had, it couldn't compare to the blood of the brothers!

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Well said, even if you kid is still a conscience!" ”

"Ming Shuai, what the hell is going on? The Taiping Army is now equipped with many foreign guns and artillery! ”

Zuo Guigui asked with a puzzled face.

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Listen to me first, Shi Dakai has purchased arms three times, and spent a total of no less than five million taels of silver on the Taiping Army, but we slaughtered them ruthlessly, and the net profit has exceeded three million taels; In order to be able to confront the Taiping army, the Hunan army and the Huai army also purchased a large number of foreign guns and artillery, which was also not less than five million taels of silver, and in addition to the profits due to the Americans, we could also make a profit of nearly three million taels of silver, which was enough for us to exterminate the Taiping army......"

Zuo Guigui was speechless for a while, good guy, Ziming is not only a first-class genius in war, but also a first-class businessman who is a black-hearted businessman, with an income of five million taels, and he can make a profit of three million taels, a profit of more than 100 percent! To one hundred and fifty percent!

"But, Ming Shuai, what Gao Qi said just now also makes sense, the Taiping Army is equipped with a large number of firearms, which has brought great difficulties to our entry into the Taiping Army, and we have to pay the price of our lives for a little elite......"

Zuo asked preciously.

Guo Ye smiled: "So what's there?" The Hunan army fought against the Huai army and the Taiping army, and those weapons and ammunition would naturally continue to enter the hands of the Taiping army, but if we fought against the Taiping army, would the Americans still have so much courage to supply the Taiping army? Let me tell you, as long as our army enters northern Anhui, all the ships that transport arms in the United States will not dare to be half a step close to the south of the Yangtze River, you must know that half of the shares of the current Colt Arms Company are mine, I give an order, they will never dare, even the US government will never dare, because they are still relying on Xiaohai to fight, if they overthrow us, Xiaohai will directly take their elite to the southern rebels, do you think they will regret jumping into the Mississippi River at that time? Without the supply of the Americans, the ammunition of the Taiping Army will be completely used up in less than a month, leaving artillery and foreign guns empty, without shells and bullets, so what is the use of fart? Not even a monkey can be scared! ”
