"Open the door, open the door."

"Open the gates—"

"Open the fucking door! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will get in—"

"We are officers and soldiers, why don't you let us enter the city?"

Under the city of Suizhou Capital, more than 3,000 Qin troops pointed to the head of the city and scolded. At the head of the city, a fourth-rank prefect wiped the cold sweat left on his forehead with an embarrassed expression, and glanced at the burly third-rank general on the side.

"Lord Wang, this ...... This ......"

The general surnamed Wang glanced at the prefect, and a sneer pulled out of the corner of his mouth, "Don't open the door." Today, Lao Tzu sat at the head of the city, watching that person who dared to open the door to the Qin army. ”

The dispute between the governors and governors in Hubei has reached this point. Liu Xian sent an army to block back a twisted army on the border of Henan and Hubei, turned around on the way back to Xiaogan, passed through Suizhou, and the general who had just led two battalions of Hunan troops to be stationed in the city before this month forced the Suizhou prefect to close the city.

His eyes were like watching a monkey show, looking at the Qin army team that kept shouting and scolding outside the city.

Qi Dalin's teeth creaked, and his eyes looked at the city like fire, if he didn't still want to maintain his demeanor as a deputy general, he would also join the scolding army under the city.

"Someone, shoot me under the walls."

The sky was about to get dark, and Qi Dalin couldn't afford to spend it with people under Suizhou City, so he could only drag the team to the nearest town after a while. When the army left Suizhou City a mile away, he glanced at Suizhou City fiercely, and Qi Dalin summoned the leader of the artillery squadron who accompanied the army and ordered.

"What...... What the? My lord...... My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"I told you to fight under the walls, not inside the city. Where did you get all that. If you are told to fight, you will fight. ”

……

The scene under Suizhou City and a cannon under Suizhou City were like a small stone thrown into the big river, without stirring up the slightest wave. Although Liu Xian was impeached by Zeng Guoquan for this matter, this is simply a matter of no trace, because the main body of the entire Hubei officialdom has always been the dispute between governors and governors.

The scene in Suizhou, in front of the fight between the governor of Huguang and the governor of Hubei, is not even a green leaf.

However, Liu Xian knew that with the deepening of the relationship between the Qin army and the official culture, the estrangement between his troops and the Hunan and Huai Chu armies had become increasingly wide. The scene in Suizhou is the most straightforward embodiment.

Stirring up the whirlpool of the dispute between the governors and the governors, after a long time, the atmosphere of rivalry will spread to the whole army from top to bottom. Whether it is the closure of the city by the Hunan army or the bombardment by Qi Dalin, it shows that the two armies have really walked on two parallel roads.

But what can Liu Xian do?

Now he will continue to wear the skin of the green camp, and then he will continue to be under the control of Beijing. If Beijing wants him to oppose the Hunan Gang, then he must oppose him. Only when he takes a monthly tonic makes him very happy. By July, Liu's cavalry battalion had grown to 4,000 horses and 3,000 cavalry.

Also in July of the fifth year of Tongzhi, the Twist Army broke out of the Luhuagang embankment wall in the south of Kaifeng, crushed the Henan Governor Li Henian's Henan army, broke the wall and crossed eastward, passed Chenliu, and approached Shandong. Zeng Guofan's river defense plan was completely bankrupt.

In fact, as early as May, the Twist Army was defeated by Liu Mingchuan on the border of Shandong and Henan, and Liu Mingchuan took the opportunity to restore himself to the official position of admiral, and only changed from Zhili to Shandong. Zhang Zongyu and Ren Huabang were divided into two and went to northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui and eastern Henan for activities. In the ensuing period, the two armies met at different times and went back and forth to guerrilla attacks, which had already broken Zeng Guofan's key fortification strategy of "braking with static".

Zeng Guofan quickly adjusted his strategy, using the Shahe River and the Jialu River in the west, the Huai River as the defense line in the south, and digging trenches from Zhuxian Town to Kaifeng and the south bank of the Yellow River in the north.

As a result, in July, Ren Huabang led his troops and Zhang Zongyu's troops to gather in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and took advantage of the fact that the embankment north of Zhuxian Town to Kaifeng had not yet been built. The governor of Henan, Li Henian, was defeated and leaped into Shandong. Zeng Guofan's river defense plan went bankrupt again.

After more than a year, Zeng Guofan's superintendent was ineffective, and the Qing court had to change Li Hongzhang to the minister of the Qin Mission in August, taking over the affairs of suppression, so that Zeng Guofan still returned to his post as governor of Liangjiang.

At this time in Hubei, the battle between Zeng Guoquan and Guanwen has reached a fever pitch. Zeng Guoquan first asked Beijing to reduce the Hubei army on the grounds that it was decayed and useless, and transferred to the Hunan army to replace those who dared to fight.

Directly force the hand to seize the military power! Even Liu Xian has been affected. Then under the pretext of suppression, Peng Yucheng led 6,000 Hunan troops into Hubei.

Peng Yucheng is Zeng Guoquan's cousin of the same age and a famous general in the Hunan Army. Although he was not very famous in later generations. In his early years, he came to Jiangxi from Zeng Guoquan and accumulated merit in Xu County. And into Anhui, Xiaochiyi, Linghu all the battles are meritorious, and repeatedly break the aid thief, and the prefect is promoted to the prefect. The army will go down to the key passes along the river, cross the river to Ketaipingfu, Jinzhuguan, Wuhu, and be promoted, and give the name of Yiyong Baturu.

The Hunan army conquered Tianjing, and Peng Yucheng had already been appointed as a political envoy and given the rank of first-class lieutenant.

Since Tang Jisheng was dismissed, the position of political envoy in Hubei has been handled by the procurator. Zeng Guoquan introduced Peng Yucheng into Hubei, and the drunkard's intention was not only in military power, but also in Hubei.

Zeng Guoquan's behavior of course attracted the frantic pressure of the official documents, completely cut off the resonance of the battlefield, and even the food and salary of the tens of thousands of Hunan troops who entered Hubei were all cut off.

Zeng Guoquan didn't know whether he was angry just because of this, or if he really didn't care about the impact of his brother's failure to suppress the Hunan Army Group and even the entire Hunan Gang.

This is a blatant lawsuit brought to the Jinluan Palace.

The disagreement between the first and second leaders is a very common thing in ancient times, but the blatant impeachment and participation in the entire 200-year history of the Qing Dynasty are also only a handful. This is like the governor of the province and the secretary of the provincial and party committees in later generations, and directly reported to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the committee in their real names, which is very nonsense.

After Liu Xian heard the news, his teeth ached. He really doubted that Zeng Guoquan was Zeng Guofan's own brother. Why is the eldest brother so cunning and far-sighted, even the great grandfather of the Celestial Dynasty admires him, but the younger brother is such a brainless idiot? The political IQ is not even as good as the most sesame county order.

For the first time in his life, Liu Xian felt pity for Zeng Guofan. With such a brother, Zeng Guofan is really bitter.

In September, Zhang Zongyu and Ren Huabang led the main force of the twisted army from Anhui such as Hubei, and Liu Xian made every effort to block it, and fought five battles successively, driving the twisted army into Anhui.

But these feats don't seem to be able to save the sudden crisis for the official text. Beijing sent Shang Shu Miansen and Tan Tingxiang, a waiter, to Hubei, and soon the official document fell. With Miansen and Tan Tingxiang, he went north to Beijing to be investigated by the central government.

The official document that had been entrenched in Hubei for eleven or twelve years went like this. After entering Beijing, even if the top three giants are not ready to punish the official text, it is impossible for the official document to return to Huguang as an official.

And when the official document left, Liu Xian sat on the wax all at once!
