"Report!"

In the camp of the Qing army at the mouth of Beiwan, Anqing, there was an urgent and long singing, and a Qing soldier ran quickly to the big tent of the Chinese army.

As the minister personally appointed by Emperor Xianfeng, Xiang Rong supervised the army of 80,000 eight banner soldiers and 70,000 green battalion soldiers, but he was unable to take the Anqing military town, from the emperor to the civil and military officials were already quite dissatisfied with him, if he could not achieve a big victory, I am afraid that the next deposed minister will be his turn to Xiang Rong, so Xiang Rong is very entangled and troubled.

At this time, there was an urgent report outside the account.

"Report! Report to Lord Qincha, Anqing urgently report, Su Songtai's soldier Li Weiguo is leading 30,000 Shanghai troops to attack Anqing! ”

The Shanghai army is Li Jiajun, but Li Jiajun is the title of Li Weiguo's insider, and he does not dare to call Li Jiajun to the outside world, because it violates the taboo of the imperial court, and Li Weiguo does not need to find trouble for himself, so Li Jiajun claims to the outside world that the Shanghai army is from the surrounding areas of Shanghai.

"What?" Xiang Rongteng stood up suddenly, grabbed the reporter and asked urgently: "Then didn't Li Weiguo encircle and suppress the knife in Jiangdong?" Why did you come to Jiangxi? ”

"Back to the words of the lord, I don't know much about the humble position, but I heard that this Su Songtai is very powerful, Li Weiguo Li is very powerful, there is an elite foreign guns and foreign artillery team under his command, and the rebels in Su Songtai's rebellion have been suppressed, and they have just arrived in Jinling by order not long ago, and now they appear in Anqing, which shows that the siege of Jinling has been resolved."

Xiang Rong waved his hand, waved the report officer back, and then hurried the generals to hold a meeting.

Xiang Rong started as a soldier, and successively suppressed the rebellion of Tiandihui in Henan, Xinjiang and Guangxi, and was known as a prestige in the army.

Xiang Rong informed the generals of the news that Li Weiguo led the Shanghai army to attack Anqing, and the generals were very surprised, they almost never heard of Li Weiguo's name, nor did they know the combat strength of the Shanghai army, so they scoffed, thinking that their hundreds of thousands of troops could not take Anqing, and it was impossible for Li Weiguo's 30,000 Shanghai troops to defeat Anqing, thinking that Li Weiguo was just here to join in the fun.

A general of the Eight Banners said at this time: "I have heard the name of Li Weiguo, and when I entered Beijing some time ago, I heard that this person was mentioned by the Military Aircraft Department, saying that Li Weiguo's family was convicted by Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, so the foreigner personally sent a note to the imperial court, and finally forced the Military Aircraft Department to release Li Weiguo's family and return the family property. ”

"Is this worth it? How can foreigners interfere with our country's justice? It's too arrogant! ”

A group of people suddenly became agitated and expressed their indignation.

The banner general continued: "I heard that there is a provision in the Jiangning Treaty that the family members of foreign officials in China have foreign-related law enforcement powers, and this Li Weiguo somehow became a special counselor of the British Legation, although I don't know how big an official he is, but in this way he is a member of the Legation, so his family is protected by the British Legation and enjoys extraterritoriality. ”

"So that's what happened? What is the origin of this Li Weiguo? How did he hook up with foreigners, how could such a person still become the Su Songtai soldier of our Great Qing Kingdom? ”

Someone immediately asked.

I only heard the general of the banner man say: "I don't know about this, it is said that it was personally recommended by Lu Jianying, and Lord Sushun personally approved, I can't figure out why they obviously hate Li Weiguo to death, but why they still helped Li Weiguo find a county order." ”

"Do you still need to think about it? Lu Jianying's old fox must not be well-intentioned, but unfortunately he miscalculated, he failed to kill that Li Weiguo, but made that Li Weiguo bigger, and now the imperial court is the time to employ people, I heard that under Li Weiguo's rule, the Shanghai army swept the Shanghai knife will be deeply valued by the emperor, and Lu Jianying may be more difficult to do in the future. ”

"This is called lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, Lu Jianying is confused!"

"Haha!"

The crowd burst into laughter, each gloating.

Xiang Rong smiled helplessly, he is not good at this kind of officialdom fighting, as a military general, Xiang Rong relies on his strength to fight hard, and Xiang Rong is very contemptuous of opportunistic people like Li Weiguo.

"Okay, now let's talk about the Anqing issue, Li Weiguo has begun to attack the city, should we cooperate."

"Lord Xiang, don't forget, you are the minister of the Qincha all the way, our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have not taken Anqing, if you give Li Weiguo the first place, not only will you lose face, but our generals here can't afford to lose this person!"

Everyone opposed sending troops, and it depended on Li Weiguo's jokes.

Xiang Rong didn't dare to offend these banner masters, and he didn't like Li Weiguo anyway, so he pushed the boat down.

Xiang Rong's 150,000 army stood still, wanting to sit and watch Li Weiguo eat deflated, however, the sky was not as good as people wanted, and soon a newspaper officer came in to report, and everyone was stunned.

"Report, the Shanghai army has captured Anqing, and the Hong bandit rebels guarding Anqing fled in panic from the south gate!"

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

……

There was an uproar in the big tent, everyone was shocked, no one thought that Li Weiguo could capture Anqing, let alone Li Weiguo to capture Anqing.

After Xiang Rong repeatedly confirmed that the Shanghai army had indeed captured Anqing, he suddenly couldn't sit still.

Not only him, but all the Qing army generals couldn't sit still.

What are you kidding, their 150,000 army couldn't beat Anqing for many months, so that the Taiping army was scared to death, as soon as Li Weiguo came, only 30,000 troops took Anqing in less than an hour.

Shame on you!

Below Zi Xiangrong, everyone has these two words written on their faces at the moment.

"My lord, please send troops quickly, it's still too late, although Li Weiguo has taken Anqing City, but we can send troops to arrive in time, and we can also grab a credit."

"That's right! Your Excellency must not let Li Weiguo snatch the credit! ”

"Yes! What kind of thing is he, Li Weiguo, a mere fourth-grade soldier, how dare he grab credit from the ministers all the way to the great man? ”

Xiang Rong nodded, and immediately ordered: "Pass on the order of Benqin, the whole army quickly pulls out the camp and heads to Anqing." Vice General Liu, you quickly take a cavalry to the present, carry the token of Ben Qincha, and let Li Weiguo's Shanghai army stand still and wait for orders, and Ben Qincha will arrive later. ”

This is the credit of Chiguoguo's desire to rob Li Weiguo!

However, Li Weiguo is not easy to bully, he is in Anqing City at this time, and he has already made preparations.

"Report to your lord, there is a cavalry from outside the north gate, and the leader claims to be surnamed Liu, and he is the deputy general of Xiang Rong, the commander of the Qing army at the mouth of Beiwankou, and he asked to meet your lord in person, saying that he has something important to discuss."

Li Weiguo was accompanying Fu Shanxiang to visit around, and after hearing this report, he asked, "Have you asked him clearly about his intention?" ”

The pro-soldier replied: "The other party is so coaxing, what do you say that the Shanghai army dares to rob them of their credit, you must let us obediently give up Anqing, otherwise we will look good." ”

Li Weiguo sneered: "This is the rhythm that is coming to rob us of credit!" ”

Fu Shanxiang on the side suddenly frowned slightly, and said angrily: "These officials can't fight ten people, but they can't compete with one person, but they are ten people who grab credit, it's really shameless!" ”

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "The lady can't be angry with them, I have long expected this situation." ”

Fu Shanxiang immediately grabbed Li Weiguo's arm and asked curiously, "How does Xianggong plan to deal with them?" You must know that there are a lot of flag people on the other side, and it is not easy to mess with! ”

Li Weiguo patted Fu Shanxiang's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, lady, have you forgotten that we are still followed by a large group of tails?" ”

Fu Shanxiang asked: "Xianggong is talking about Lu Jianying's Jinling Army?" Aren't they also here to take credit for your work? ”

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "That's right!" There are wolf dogs in front of them and domestic dogs in the back, so let's just let them eat the dog first, anyway, the dog eats the dog, and we just have to watch the show. ”

Fu Shanxiang's eyes were painted, full of wisdom, and he quickly figured it out, and suddenly turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Xianggong is so powerful!" ”

"That's it!" Li Weiguo laughed, squeezed his eyes at Fu Shanxiang, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the room, Xianggong has something more powerful for you to see!" ”

"I hate it, people don't want to watch it!" Fu Shanxiang's face was immediately crimson when she heard this, and she was ashamed, she lacked resistance to this kind of thing when she tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, although she didn't follow her mouth, but her body had already betrayed her.

Li Weiguo smiled evilly, just took Fu Shanxiang is hand, and strode into the door.

Mingyue and other female guards also didn't follow anymore, standing guard at the door, with an expression of "stop coming".
