Shi Xiangzhen has a strong posture and a bold temperament, so he always gives people a feeling of recklessness. Actually, he is a very scheming person, and his coarseness is only coarse in what he doesn't want to do. It is precisely because of his informal character that he is even more loved by his subordinates. Just like he likes to use foul language and swear, the people he has scolded will not only have no resentment, but will be a little proud, even a little complacent. Because, if you let go of an ordinary person, you just want to find Lord Guozong to scold, and Lord Guozong may not be willing to spend that effort to deal with you.

He wanted to take advantage of Hengzhou's lax vigilance again to make a long-distance raid like he did with Xiangxiang, destroying the training base of the Hunan army in one fell swoop, and not giving Zeng Guofan any respite. However, he was also a little worried, in order to ensure the final victory of the first battle of Changsha, Xiangtan must not have any accidents. In other words, he must keep enough reserves in his hands, not only to be able to monitor and resist the military horses of Zeng Guofan, who will be guarding Zhuzhou in the future, or to seize Xiangtan, but also to be able to annihilate the enemy who dares to come out of Changsha.

In this way, it is inevitable that more people will not be able to move to Hengzhou, but will fewer people achieve their tactical goals?

He called Lan Chengchun, Hou Yutian, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Left, and Liu Xihe, who had just escorted the captives back to the city, and just said his thoughts, who knew that Lan Chengchun and Hou Yutian, who had always been calm, had not shown excessive surprise, and this little tiger Liu Xihe, who was very excited as long as he heard the shouting of killing, stared at a pair of big eyes and asked in disbelief, "Lord Guozong, will you go to Hengzhou with a brigade of the young general?" ”

"What, are you scared?" Shi Xiangzhen deliberately asked rhetorically.

"The young general is not afraid, but he is a little worried," Liu Xihe scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said, "The young general is afraid that he will not be able to take Hengzhou and delay the great plan of Lord Guozong." ”

"You little slippery head!" Shi Xiangzhen smiled, he looked at Lan Chengchun and Hou Yutian, pointed at Liu Xihe, and chattered, "Last year, the Heavenly Army fought Wuchang, and it was Chen Yucheng's three hundred scouts who solved the battle. Now your brigade has 1,500 or 600 brothers, and you can't take a single Hengzhou? Don't think of the demons so smartly. Hengzhou is far away from the battlefield, and no one would have thought that a man and horse of the heavenly army could suddenly come to the city. In war, you must also learn to use skill, and don't always come hard. Lao Hou, do you think I'm right? He turned his gaze to Hou Yutian again. Just when he said this, he must have forgotten that he had been worried that he couldn't fight Zeng Guoquan with his own hands, and he was very annoyed.

Hou Yutian was the two Sima who sent Huang Zaiming out of the city. But now he is not a two-horse horse, he is the division commander of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Celestial Empire, and he specially escorted the new artillery racks and ammunition from Tianjing to the Western Expeditionary Army, and stayed to engage in intelligence work.

Hou Yutian was initially a small leader in the artillery battalion of Zhang Guoliang's subordinates who defected to the Qing army in Yong'an, and was captured by the Celestial Army in Daozhou, Hunan Province at the beginning of last year. When he was in the camp, all he saw with his own eyes were officers and soldiers who regarded soldiers as slaves, but when he arrived in the Heavenly Army, what he saw and heard was that officers and soldiers were like brothers, equal and loving each other. For him, it was like being in another world. When deciding on the choice of whether to stay, he resolutely threw himself into the arms of the Heavenly Army. Gradually, he understood more things, understood the root cause of the Manchu Qing's cruelty to the people, and realized the nobility and greatness of the Taiping Rebellion's purpose of destroying the people and expelling the Tartars. He was sincere and wanted to dedicate his life to the cause of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In the next few battles, he bravely rushed to kill, and in the battle of conquering Jinling, he showed his prominence with his bravery, and was appreciated by the Wing King, who was in charge of the front-line command, and the East King.

With his knowledge of various places, Hou Yutian felt that Shi Xiangzhen's idea could not be said to be good. The original defenders of Hengzhou were only a few hundred people at best, although there was now a sailor division that Zeng Guofan planned to establish, but after all, it had not yet formed an army, and the road battle was not worth mentioning. If you can follow the appearance of the sneak attack on Xiangxiang, and then change your disguise and appear under the city of Hengzhou unexpectedly, the chances of winning are still very good. Moreover, he had been taught by King An in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that once Liu Xihe's brigade was equipped with sufficient weapons, the combat effectiveness was far from a simple matter of a thousand people.

Thinking of this, Hou Yutian looked at Shi Xiangzhen and nodded, "What Lord Guozong said can be completely done, but two conditions must be guaranteed. First, it is necessary to use the method of camouflage the demon, so as not to attract the attention of the demon. Second, it is necessary to strengthen the equipment of grenades for Brigade Marshal Liu and the brothers, and also carry enough explosives. ”

Hearing what Hou Shishuai said, Liu Xihe became much more courageous, "If Lord Guozong really can equip us with enough grenades, then no one will be afraid." As he spoke, his hand touched the two grenades that had been pinned to his waist and had been pinned to him when he went out of the city to kill demons just now.

Lan Chengchun synthesized the ideas of the main generals Shi Xiangzhen and Hou Yutian, and felt that it was okay, but he still felt that such a heavy step seemed to be commanded by the young Liu Xihe alone, which was not suitable for him. He pondered for a moment and looked at Shi Xiangzhen, "Lord Guozong, is it more secure for me to command this army?" ”

"It's not necessary," Shi Xiangzhen waved his hand decisively, "This is the main battlefield." took Hengzhou, firstly, in order to nip the so-called water division that Zeng Demon Head planned to build, in the bud. The second is to contact Hu Youlu, Zhu Hongying and other troops of the Tiandihui who have entered southern Hunan and may attack Ningyuan and Daozhou. Lao Hou knew more about the situation in this regard, so Lao Hou presided over the operation. ”

Hou Yutian and Liu Xihe commanded nearly 2,000 men and horses reinforced by Shi Xiangzhen's guard battalion, completely disguised as the Hunan army and the battalion servants, and began to leave Xiangtan one after another.

Shi Xiangzhen sent Hou Yutian and Liu Xihe straight out of the south gate. Before parting, he looked at Hou Yutian with a relaxed face, and then at Liu Xihe, "Everything you should want is given to you, and it's up to you now." Remember, you must not delay on the road, try to avoid crowded places, and do not clash with the Qing demons you may encounter on the way. As long as you ensure suddenness, you will succeed. As for whether to keep or not to keep Hengzhou, you decide for yourself. For those thieves listed by His Royal Highness King An, they must be searched by head and all disposed of. He smiled happily with his hand around his neck in an extremely dashing gesture.
