It was only at this time that Cen Yuying seemed to have woken up from a big dream and realized that she had lost the best chance to escape. Since you can't escape, then don't escape! Facing Lai Yuxin, a monkey in Guangxi, but as a talent from Guangxi, Cen Yuying, who thinks that he has read more than ten years more than Lai Yuxin, is not as hungry as Liu Yuezhao at this time. He understood that if he broke through at this time, it would be tantamount to crushing the four or five thousand troops under him. are all pushed in the city, with the city wall as a backing, everyone can always restrain each other, boost each other's spirits, as soon as you get out of the city, you will know the result. So, no matter how Lai Yuxin tossed and turned outside the city, Cen Yuying had a purpose and swore not to leave Pinglu City.
In the face of such a Cen Yuying, Lai Yuxin is not helpless. Since you didn't take the road that "let go" at first, that's fine, then let's have a good time. Lai Yuxin was like a cat that caught a mouse, and began to play Cen Yuying in the city to his heart's content. At the ferry, they are constantly rushing to transport all kinds of urgently needed materials for the army in the future, but under the city, the "powerful" siege battle is not divided into morning and evening, regardless of the timing, and it is constantly fighting. After a few days, the loyal rescuers in the city who will never get free time will not be able to bear it.
Pinglu City is too close to the ferry, so close that as long as God does not fog, the soldiers in the city can see every move of the Maojin Ferry. It's just that God doesn't give a damn god at all in the past few days, and the various river crossing tools that are overwhelming on the river, and the hot army landing scene at the ferry make the soldiers who are already getting more and more bold and weak even more unconfident. Cen Yuying's "insistence, reinforcements will return soon" all day long has become a joke used by the soldiers in their helplessness. At this time, I don't know how the opponent drummed into the city, and the "letters of persuasion" that were distributed everywhere on the streets gradually began to have a market.
According to Zeng Chuanli, who said that he was a little related to Zeng Guofan, because he went to Zhili to study alone, he missed the great opportunity for Zeng Guofan to raise troops in Xiangxiang. When he was about to rush back to Hunan to join the Hunan army and seize this rare opportunity to achieve a great cause once in a century, he was still halfway through, and his melancholy psychology full of loss suddenly felt a lot better, because there were rumors of the frustration of the Hunan army in front of him.
In desperation, Zeng Chuanli, who could only stay in Anhui and had nothing to do for several months, happened to meet the three brothers Liu Yuezhao. Under the trick of the Liu brothers, Zeng Chuanli's thief heart who sought to be promoted and made a fortune rose again. Who would have thought that not long after reuniting with the Liu brothers, they would suffer annihilation in southern Henan with the defeated army of Shengbao. Although he escaped his doom by luck, and as if he had gone crazy, he went back to Zhili in one breath, but he became alone again.
Later, what happened immediately afterwards made Zeng Chuanli feel that he couldn't do without the good luck of being promoted and making a fortune in his life. Because, the Liu brothers, who had been separated in southern Henan for several months, made a comeback, and they became the loyal and righteous rescuers who everyone sharpened their heads to get into. Zeng Chuanli then begged his friends in Zhili to help him prepare some "thin gifts", and hurriedly ran to see Liu Yuezhao. Liu Yuezhao looked down on this guy who only cared about himself and ignored his friends at first, but for the sake of the face of "Bo Li", he couldn't help but care about this fellow, besides, the Qing Dynasty was in urgent need of talents, so he recommended him to Cen Yuying.
Cen Yuying was still a little satisfied with this eloquent Zeng Chuanli at first sight, coupled with the support of his colleagues, he was not too stingy, and in a month, Zeng Chuanli was promoted to a team officer. However, in the future, Zeng Chuanli found that the "career was bumpy". In order to cope with the situation in the future, according to the overall plan drawn up by the Russian friends, the ranks of loyal and righteous salvation ** swelled dramatically. Looking around, all his colleagues in the same position as himself had already put on the pipe belt or even higher, but he still stood still. For what reason, of course Zeng Chuanli is clear, and he really can't blame himself. is too far away from home, has no other friends, and has to use the salary he has just received to pay off the debts of his friends in Zhili, where can he not make up the favorite things of Lord Shangguan, and go to honor Shangguan at a critical moment.
In desperation, Zeng Chuanli "secretly" deducted half a month's salary from the team, and mustered up the courage to send it to the marshal's mansion. Who knows that fate is too much, he sent the money in his head and feet, and was denounced by his own subordinates on the back foot. Fortunately, the co-ordinator opened the net and did not delve into the matter, and after receiving the 20th military stick, he was still worthy of him, and set up a deputy in the husband battalion for him, that is, the deputy pipe belt. However, the position of this assistant is very good, but it is not affordable, the salary is not much, and it is not his turn to be in charge. Not to mention that at least the prestige that was still there in the past is gone, but he still owes a lot of bad debts (although the responsibility for deducting military salaries is no longer pursued, the money is always paid back by him). At this time, it seems that he has never had this kind of biography in his life, not only did he not succeed in stealing chickens, but he also lost a handful of rice, and became a big assistant who could only eat and drink, and could not receive a salary for at least a year, and it also became a joke in the army for a while.
People like Zeng Chuanli who gave up literature and followed martial arts just wanted to use the majestic style of the Qing Dynasty, which was also bigger than a horse, to realize their dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune. The Qing Dynasty was vigorous, and he and they were as strong as oxen and majestic. And once the Qing Dynasty loses power, how can they be willing to be in the same boat with you? Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows what is going on in the world. It is said that peace talks are in full swing in Jinan, and Zeng Chuanli turned around for a long time before finally realizing the truth. It seems that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should not be underestimated, they have become bigger, not only the Qing Dynasty, but even the bullish foreigners have to temporarily lower by three points, could it be that their fate is really so bad? Could it be that he really got on the wrong boat?
Right now, Pinglu City was really surrounded by the surging Taiping Red Army, and Zeng Chuanli, who had tasted the powerful Red Army of the Celestial Empire, suddenly made a fuss in his heart, like a frightened rabbit, and was going to find a chance to slip away.
Li Lao Er is the husband who has the deepest friendship with Zeng Chuanli in the husband service camp. He is a middle-aged man who fled from Shaanzhou to Pinglu, usually silent and inconspicuous, but he never spares his life when he does his work. Not only that, but this miserable man, who is said to have died in the war and is left alone, is not stingy. Although the monthly salary for him is limited, Zeng Chuanli, who came to the husband's service camp to be called "poor", was not less cared for by him, and only Li Lao Er was willing to give him the pocket money that he lacked. came and went, and Zeng Chuanli, who felt the heat and coldness of the world, threw away the shelf of an adult and became good friends with this ordinary husband.
In order to show that he has never been ungrateful, secretly, Zeng Chuanli helped Li Lao Er say some good things in the pipe belt, and naturally, Li Lao Er gradually got the benefits and became a small husband and servant. Li Lao Er should have worked less, but he still buried his head in the past. Li Laoer's salary is more, and Zeng Chuanli's hands are beginning to feel more lively.
After several days of non-stop fighting, the soldiers in the city were miserable, and the husbands and soldiers of the husband battalion were also miserable.
"Second, rest, rest, don't be so stupid." The tired eyelids were almost supported by a stick so that they would not be together, and Zeng Chuanli, who was about to go back to the room and slept on it for a few hours before relieving his anger, met Li Lao Er, who was busy and sweating profusely, at the door. Looking at Li Laoer's face, which was already dark and thin, but now it was more like he was about to take off, he pulled the burden on Li Laoer's shoulders, threw it aside, and sighed again and again, "You are a person...... It's just *** stupid to do it endlessly, if people are tired to death, there are more rewards, so what's the use? β
"Your Excellency...... My lord...... The soldiers in the city are in a hurry...... "Li Laoer, who was dragged into the courtyard by Zeng Chuanli, stumbled and turned back, as if he was still reluctant to bear the burden on the ground, and shouted, "My lord, the grass people are grateful to the adults, but the lives of the grass people are cheap, and they can't die of exhaustion, as long as they can help the soldiers in the city do something, even if they are tired to death, they will ......."
"Nonsense, without you Li Er, this city can't be defended?" Zeng Chuanli was annoyed, "Come in with me, and then we'll talk about it later, what does it matter to you if the city is not broken." β
"Second brother, listen to Lord Zeng's orders, hurry up and go in to rest, I'll pick up this burden." At the door, a husband picked up the burden of Li Laoer.
"Oops...... Really...... The adult ...... "Li Lao Er finally didn't look back, and half-pushed and half-followed Zeng Chuanli into the house.
When he entered the house, Zeng Chuanli sighed and threw himself on the bed. He struggled to raise his arm and pointed to the teapot on the table, "Ouch...... I'm exhausted. Second, please help me pour me a cup of tea, you ...... You pour it yourself and drink ......"
Li Lao Er brought a cup of herbal tea to Zeng Chuanli, "My lord, you have to take care of your body, and the grass people will still count on adults to live a good life in the future." β
"Good day?" Zeng Chuanli stood up strongly, raised his head and drained the full cup of tea, and then fell back heavily, lamenting, "Where will there be a good day...... This is a rotten city surrounded like an iron bucket...... Ahem...... Maybe when...... Ahem...... It won't be long before I go...... I will go to Hades to find a good life. Speaking of this, Zeng Chuanli turned his face to look at Li Lao Er, and let out a long sigh.
"Second child, now...... Now I envy you...... At least...... At least on the day the city breaks, you'll still be able to ...... Can I continue to live......"
Li Lao Er brought another cup of tea and handed it to Zeng Chuanli, and suddenly, he found half of the "Letter of Persuasion" all over the city exposed from Zeng Chuanli's cuffs. "My lord, drink some more water, and then rest, actually...... In fact, adults can also find a way to live. β
"It's gone...... It's gone......" Zeng Chuanli's voice couldn't hide the sadness. In fact, the reason why he was so tired that his back hurt and his legs cramped was not for business, but almost all over the county, looking for a leg step for himself in case of emergency, but unfortunately, he didn't find it, "Where is there a way to live...... Wait...... Wait......"
"My lord, the grass people don't know a single word, and they don't have any ideas. However, the grass people listened to what many people in the city were secretly talking about, as if they could avoid death as long as they 'fell on the verge of defeating their brother'. My lord, what do they mean by this 'brother who is on the verge of defeat'? If you get your brother and you can avoid death, then ...... The second child would rather be the elder brother of the adult once he is older, and the adult will kill the grass people, won't it be over? Anyway, the grass people are alone, and life and death are the same thing. β
Li Laoer's sincere kindness made the lonely Zeng Chuanli's rare corners of his eyes tide, "Er, ...... The official ...... This official really didn't get to know your good friend in vain......"
Zeng Chuanli handed the empty teacup back to Li Lao Er, and with Li Lao Er's help, he sat up from the bed. He looked at the naΓ―ve second Li Lao, first shook his head, and then he took out the "persuasion letter" in his sleeve, and smiled helplessly, "Second brother, thank you for your kindness." But what people are talking about is a defection, which means turning the muzzle of the gun, not beating your brother to death......"
