Under the cover of the 89th Division of the Red 23rd Army and Lin Shaozhang's first division in the direction of Hancheng, Xiajishan, Kejiang County, Quwo, and Yicheng, all the way into Pingyang Mansion, and under the cover of Taiyuan's unwilling northward action, Wei Jun and Lai Yuxin began a low-key trek between the mountains and rivers in southern Jinnan.

It wasn't until he entered the territory of Zezhou Mansion and after Lai Yuxin's Red 24th Army took Yangcheng and Fengtai, the city of Zezhou Prefecture, that Wei Jun began to operate in a big way. Slightly later than the action of the Red 24th Army, the Red 23rd Army attacking Gaoping and Lingchuan lost the first battle, Wei Jun immediately made a decision, and ordered the Red 23rd Army to leave a small force to continue to monitor the Qing troops in the two places, and wait for the Red 24th Army to come up and deal with them, and personally led the main force of the Red 23rd Army to the city of Lu'an.

Changzhi is currently stationed in Zhangde and Weihui on the front line of the Manchu Qing Dynasty loyal and righteous rescue of important grain supply and transit places, there are several battalions of Manchu green battalion defenders key protection. Although the Changzhi defenders had received important military information about the appearance of the Taiping Red Army in Zezhou Prefecture, and then learned that the Taiping Red Army was besieging Gaoping and Lingchuan, the Changzhi defenders did not expect that the Taiping Red Army would immediately appear under the nose of Changzhi, who was "located in the middle of the belly".

The Red 23rd Army, which had just capsized in the "small river ditch", sprinkled all its anger on Changzhi City. The trumpets of the charging army were constantly screaming, and the artillery fire, bullets and shouts almost overturned the entire Changzhi City. Yu Tingzhang, who missed under Gaoping City, took the lead, and the figures of Xi Bingxun, Jiang Yunxiang, and Wang Guitian all appeared in the forefront of the assault, and the Red 91st Division took the lead in breaking the city.

After countless hunger, cold, and suffering, Wei Jun finally achieved the goal he envisioned. Changzhi was defeated, and the half-starved army no longer had to worry about the problem of food, and then the success of Huguan, he had firmly grasped the passage of Taihang from the east into Hebei.

Monk Greenqin was right, when Mianxun ran to Liangxiang and was secretly running to the Forbidden City, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, the two Heavenly Empire armies had already gone east to Taihang. Wei Jun led the main force of the Red 23rd Army to the east out of Fukou, and joined the Renhua State Department from the direction of the Daimyofu to cross Zhangshui to the west to join the city of Handan. The main force of Lai Yuxin's Red 24th Army, which was oriented from the east of Huguan, met with Niu Hongsheng in Anyang.

With the great help of the Russians, Li Hongzhang was now able to enter and exit the headquarters of the coalition forces in Fengtai, the Russian legation, and the Old Summer Palace. However, his life was not comfortable, but became more and more sad. He understood and grasped the dark psychology of the Russians, and it can be said that he had saved his dangerous Empress Dowager Cixi, but the army he had relied on to threaten the Russians and was necessary for future development was gone. It's not just that, it's not just that the problem is with the Russians, and also with the Queen Mother, who gambled with his life to save her.

In his opinion, the actions of the Russians are simply to continue to step on two boats, and to be indecisive towards the Yixin party in the capital. Of course, it cannot be said that he does not understand and understand the mentality of his Russian friends at this time, after all, tens of thousands of tsarist soldiers in front of him are in trouble, and he will not turn a blind eye to himself. The problem is that saving the army at the front is not this salvation. If everyone works together to bring down the Yixin party members at once, then the whole Qing Dynasty will devote all their efforts to the fight back and stop the Taiping Red Bandits.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Cixi, after a recent period of close contact, Li Hongzhang actually began to have a faint sense of remorse in his heart. In Changchun Garden, when Putiyatin and Ignatiev agreed to the request of the power-hungry Cixi to come back again, in the face of the current crisis, in addition to the idea of killing this and killing that to vent her anger, the first thing that came to mind was not how to effectively stop the atrocities of the Taiping Red Bandits, but first proposed to go out of the customs to Mukden to "escape the summer". Of course, the Empress Dowager did not forget him Li Hongzhang, and Cixi hoped that he would be the head of the Emperor Yixun, who would be in charge of the Prime Minister's Yamen in the future, and stay in the capital.

Before this great change in the Forbidden City was not really successful, Li Hongzhang also understood that what he said now was actually just a fantasy, but this fantasy also made him disgusting enough. First, although he became the deputy of Prince Yixun, without the queen mother and the emperor, he was also under one person and above ten thousand, but he completely lost the command of the army. Cixi made it clear to him that in view of the experience and lessons learned from the past, the three armies of Ma, Lu and Shui must be handed over to the most reliable person to command, this person is not Li Hongzhang, who he wants to wear, but also the descendant of Aixin Jueluo, Prince Yixun.

To say that this Prince Yiyun was at least more on the side of Yi Xin's party in the last palace turmoil, and he did not have such loyalty to Cixi as he did, but it can be said that at the critical moment, after all, people are still a family. What is Li Hongzhang speculating for? If he doesn't get the expected purpose, can he not be disappointed?

Secondly, the Empress Dowager Cixi seems to have a complete contingency plan in her heart, it turns out that he was kept in the capital not for anything else, but to completely destroy a gorgeous building in the capital under the condition of persisting until the last moment, what Forbidden City, what Temple of Heaven, Temple of Earth, Xiannong Altar, what Old Summer Palace, all of them were burned, leaving a pile of ruins for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Li Hongzhang is bad, but no matter how bad Li Hongzhang is, he doesn't dare to shake the courage to do this kind of thing that loses the yin virtue of his ancestors, not to mention asking him to destroy these magnificent buildings around the Forbidden City with his own hands, that is, when he saw those Russian soldiers in Changchun Garden pretending to be drunk, stealing treasures and treasures in the garden everywhere, and even scraping the layer of gold leaf smeared on various palace pillars and decorations in the garden, Li Hongzhang felt pain. Li Hongzhang didn't understand that in addition to the majesty of the royal family, the Forbidden City also contained the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people, if Cixi asked him to burn the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Heavenly Palace in Tianjing City, then he would definitely burn to the ground, and he would not even frown. But what is the architecture of the Forbidden City? That's the Zongmiao Sheji of Li Hongzhang and others, why did they struggle for a long time? It's not just that they will shine proudly forever.

However, Li Hongzhang is a great talent after all, and he is a figure who does not hesitate to endure humiliation for the sake of national affairs.

In the Russian Legation in Dongjiang Rice Lane (now Dongjiaomin Lane), Putiyating pointed at Li Hongzhang's nose as soon as he entered the large living room, and he was angry, "Bastard...... Stupid Pig ...... You still accept the training of our Russia, and like your ignorant master, you don't care about the overall situation, and only covet the pleasure of the moment. Because of your bastard behavior, you will bury the main Tsarist force on the entire Lubei front......"

"Your Excellency General Counsel, please respect my identity." Under the wanton humiliation of Puti Yating, Li Hongzhang, who is now the representative of the Empress Dowager Cixi, suddenly turned white and red, and he trembled all over, and it was not clear whether he was angry or ashamed.

"Identity? Hahaha......" Putiyatin laughed wildly and waved one arm hard, "If it weren't for us, what kind of bullshit would you talk about, and you would have gone to hell to be a ghost......"

"Forget it...... The enemy is now peaceful, and must not fight in the nest. Seeing that the situation was tense, Ignatiev quickly got up and stopped Putiyatin, "Why, Yi Xin still refuses to send troops to help Pryushenko get out of the predicament?" ”

"Sending troops?" Putyatin looked at Igonatiev and glared at Li Hongzhang fiercely, "These damn Chinese pigs are a group of sick men who can't be healed." They are preparing to flee to Rehe and Mukden, where are there any people who are willing to fight desperately for their society in front of them. ”

"Go to Rehe...... Mukden ......" Ignatiev muttered as he repeated Putiyatin's words, his face blank.

"How can they be willing to go to Rehe and Mukden?" Li Hongzhang seemed to have finally found the best time to reveal his identity, and he looked at the angry Putiyatin, "They're just an excuse." ”

"How?" Igonadyev looked at Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang raised his head confidently, "The peace talks have given them the best opportunity to collude with the red bandits and rebel." As he spoke, he looked at Puti Yating, who was still angry, "I admit that in our place, the most are patients, raising birds and playing pets, staying in willows, and indulging in big smoke, what are they if they are not patients." But after all, these are all patients who are outside the table, and they are not terrible. The most terrifying thing is those gangsters with dark psychology, this mountain looks at the mountain high, and the feet are on two boats, which is what this kind of person likes in his life. Obviously, Yi Xin was bewitched by Zaiyuan's rebellion, and he just wanted to sit back and watch us be completely eaten by the red bandits. ”
