Brothers Zhang Shoulin and Li Xianzhang led the soldiers of the guard battalion of the two outposts to the north gate at the fifth watch. They are still worthy of Zeng Guofan, according to Zhang Shoulin's meaning, except for a few personal guards of Zeng Guofan, all the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion had to be pulled away. Zhang Shoulin is such a person, either you don't do it, or you will come to him simply, so that you Zeng Dashuai will be completely disgraced. However, Li Xianzhang doesn't think so, this is in Zhuzhou after all, once the rumors leak out, it will be a great thing, it is better to be safe.

It was Zeng Guohua's subordinates who defended the west gate of Zhuzhou. Although there are Taiping army camps on the west and south sides, and even some rumors in the east recently, it has been very calm outside the west gate. Accustomed to nature, under the cold of early winter, the soldiers at the head of the city bravely hid in Tibet, or a few people gathered together to keep the heat on their bodies. A few soldiers at the gate of the city also flashed in a few holes in the doorway, and some of them had already fallen asleep.

Zhang Shoulin saw that his more than 200 men and horses had arrived in front of him, and the soldiers at the city gate still did not move, and while going up to wake up the sleepy-eyed soldiers defending the city, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "What kind of invincible division is this?" It's just a rabble that has lost the will to resist! ”

"Open Kaejo?" An older soldier looked at Zhang Shoulin suspiciously, "Then the little one should go and ask the sentry officer first." If there is a strict order, it will not be possible to open the city without an order from above. His body shivered a little in the cold wind due to his thin clothing.

"Where's your sentinel?" Zhang Shoulin asked with some annoyance.

"In," the veteran looked into the city, "it should have been in the front room, or perhaps somewhere else." He said hesitantly, with some helplessness on his face.

"I won't be in the house, I don't know which woman's bed I fucking is." The other soldier snorted the ground, grunting.

Zhang Shoulin's eyes widened suddenly. He is a scholar, but he admired martial arts when he was a child, and he was born with a fiery and straightforward character. "You guys *** want to play tricks? Hurry up and open the city gates, or Lao Tzu will slaughter you bastards! He scolded angrily and pulled out the waist knife under his side. He vented his anger against Zeng Guofan on the defenders of the city.

Li Xianzhang, who was pressing the formation in the back, came up to stop Zhang Shoulin, and saw that there were people looking at the head of the city from time to time, he took a closer look at the old soldier, and couldn't help laughing, "Lao Wang, it's you." Hehe, it's been a long time. ”

Lao Wang looked at Li Xianzhang, he was much less panicked just now, he grinned, bent down and hugged his fists and hurriedly saluted Li Xianzhang, "Yes, master, are you also going out of the city together?" "Lao Wang is not old, he is in his early thirties, and his body is as strong as an ox. He was originally a tenant of Li Xianzhang's family, and when Xiangxiang recruited the army, it was Li Xianzhang who mobilized him into the Hunan army.

"Yes, Lao Wang," Li Xianzhang smiled and shook his cold hand, "Hurry up and open the city, we went to Changsha to ask for support on the military order of the marshal." Our hometown is gone, and the old and young don't know what to do, and if we don't kill it back, I'm afraid that there will be nothing. ”

"Who's to say it's not," said the king, who immediately waved his hand to a few of his men, motioning for them to open the city gates. Seeing that the brothers in the guard battalion of the Marshal's Mansion couldn't wait to step forward and pull the city gate, he looked at Li Xianzhang with a worried face, and whispered, "Master, you should also be careful, it is said that Liuyang has also returned to the family, and I am afraid that it will not be calm to go to Changsha here." Alas, it's good to be able to return home alive, and the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels! Speaking of this, Lao Wang's eyes flashed with tears.

Seeing the city gate open, Zhang Shoulin led the soldiers to rush out of the city bravely, Li Xianzhang pulled Lao Wang's hand, and an impulse surged in his heart, "Lao Wang, give me a ride, maybe we will never see the enemy again." As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, and pulled up the old king and went out of the city gate.

It wasn't until he rushed out of the place that he was a short distance from the city gate that Li Xianzhang let go of Lao Wang's hand, looked at the confused Lao Wang, and pointed to the brothers in the guard battalion who had turned their heads and rushed westward, "Lao Wang, we are going to join the Taiping Army, otherwise the country will not be a country or a family, so you can go with us." If you don't want to be a soldier, then you can go home, and the Taiping Army will give you land, marry a wife and have children in the future, live a good life, and be worthy of your ancestors. ”

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, then took Li Xianzhang's hand in turn, and didn't look back at the closed West City Gate, "Master, let's go quickly, or leave it behind!" As Li Xianzhang said, from then on, Lao Wang had his own land. However, in order to keep his land forever, Lao Wang did not go home, and he stayed in the ranks of the Heavenly Army. He originally didn't have a tuba, but before entering the Hunan army, Li Xianzhang gave him a tuba, Wang Youtian. Later, he met Yiwang in Changsha, and Yiwang changed his name to Wang Guitian. Later, during the expedition to Xinjiang, Wang Guitian, the son of a peasant, fell there forever for the sake of his brothers and sisters in the world to have their own fields and for the honor of the motherland. Since then, there has been a proud name in the history of the Heavenly Army, Colonel of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wang Guitian.

It was Tazib who first discovered the defection of the guard battalion of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. To say that Taqib is the most tired person in Zhuzhou City. He was the temporary commander of the land battalion of the Hunan army and was responsible for the entire city defense of Zhuzhou. But since he hit the north to aid Changsha, Zeng Dashuai, who was extremely noble in his mind, had no plan and suddenly stopped here. At the beginning, it was only surrounded by the Taiping army in the west, and there was no enemy situation in other directions. According to the strength of the existing Hunan army, since it cannot fight alone, it should either enter Changsha, join up with the more than 10,000 defenders in Changsha, and rely on Jiancheng to fight to the death with the Taiping army. Either simply retreat south or go east to Jiangxi, and try to develop in another way. Fortunately, Liuyang is now occupied by the Taiping Army, and the Taiping Army in Jiangxi has also moved to Pingxiang and Liling. There are still a group of "chaotic people who call souls" in the west of the city every day, don't say that they don't want to leave, it's too late to want to leave. He believed that as soon as the Hunan army left Zhuzhou, it would immediately disperse.

What's even more terrifying is that he received a report just now, saying that a fleet appeared in the south of the city along the Xiangjiang River, and he was excited at first, could it be that Chu Ruhang's sailors came to reinforce him? But the news that came again made him unable to get excited anyway. That's a sailor of the Taiping Army! It's over, Hengzhou is over! Tazib, who ran to the southern city, almost didn't sit on the ground and cried.

Taqibu turned around and had no choice but to go crazy and go straight to the marshal's mansion, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard that Zhang Shoulin and the men and horses of the guard battalion had left. His brain buzzed again, which really responded to the sentence that the drum was broken and the wall was pushed by everyone. Because he never issued any orders to Zhang Shoulin, Zhang Shoulin must have other intentions. So, he didn't go into the marshal's mansion again, and it was useless to go in, but it disturbed the sweet dream of the marshal, and he himself sent someone to inform Zeng Guohua, who was responsible for defending the east and west, and at the same time ran to the west gate with the guards around him. Tired! The commander of Shengming did not equip the camp with horses, and he relied on two legs to run around. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Zeng Guoquan again, who was once invincible. He robbed all the good things, and the dozen or so war horses of the whole army were also asked to be taken away, but fortunately, all of them were contributed to Long Hair.

When Tazib reached the west gate, the sky began to lighten. Tazib didn't know how he managed to make it.

Standing at the top of the city, it was still as calm as before, as if nothing had happened here.

Zeng Guohua, who was belated, was woken up from the Red Mansion in the city. After a night of tossing, the wine and beauty made him feel soft all over his body. Looking at Taqib, who was iron-faced, and then looking at his subordinates, Zeng Guohua pulled out the guard's waist knife with his hand, and slashed at the back of the sentry on duty last night. In normal times, if he went down with this knife, half of the sentinel's arm would have been split, but today, this knife was actually resisted by the hard collarbone of the sentinel.

Listening to the heart-rending scream issued by the sentinel, Taqib couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to Zeng Guohua and raised his hand with a big mouth, and Zeng Guohua, who was pumping, fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, and the knife also flew.

"Escort this bastard to me," Taqib pointed to Zeng Guohua, who had not woken up on the ground, and ordered loudly, and then stepped forward to help the bleeding sentinel, "Someone, hurry up and send this brother to Lang Zhong for treatment." ”

Zeng Guohua's hysterical scolding, and the non-stop wailing of the sentry officer gradually faded away, and Taqib looked at the assembled soldiers and sighed. "Forget it, brethren, as if nothing had happened. I tell my brothers that the long hair does not speak of faith, and in order to temporarily take advantage of some people, they will make beautiful propaganda and demagoguery, and when they really get there, there is only a dead end. You can see from the current battle situation that they are very afraid of our Hunan army, and they do not dare to make a move against us now. Why? That is, most of the people in Xiangxiang are actually dissatisfied with them at all, and they are dragging them back and cooperating with us in the war. The brothers are all at ease, the handsome has already concentrated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, as long as they hold Zhuzhou, everyone will have a lot of silver to earn, and there will be nothing at that time."

After some hard talking, Tazib dragged his heavy body away. He had more to do, and even though he hadn't had a good rest for a few days, he was still holding on. Because he knew in his heart that the real enemy of Longhair was him.

The soldiers have also dispersed, they have been laid off, at least today's mission has been completed. What to do? Rest, sleep, and leave tomorrow to God. Let's go for a drink, and it's better to have a nice or pleasing looking proprietress kind of shop, and get by.

However, no matter what they did, they would have doubts about what Tazib had just said. If you have silver, you have everything? Haha, can you buy you with silver to kiss your father and mother?
