Chapter 624: Reaching Cooperation

Yang Changjun was full of rhetoric, according to common sense, Zuo Zongtang should be furious, and then push Yang Changjun out of Ling Chi, even if he thought of the old love, he had to scold Yang Changjun to get out, but surprisingly, he didn't have any anger, but his eyes kept flashing what he saw and heard in Nanyang.

What particularly impressed him was the corpse of a young woman with a bloodstained face and white flowers!

'Even the proud disciples of Old Master Luo turned against the Qing Dynasty, could it be that the Qing Dynasty really reached the point where the wall collapsed and everyone piled up? Zuo Zongtang was a little distracted, and then asked, "Why did the virtuous nephew come from afar?" ”

Yang Changjun arched his hand: "The commander-in-chief has led the Fourth Army of the Democratic Alliance Army into Hanyang, and the little nephew is entrusted by the commander-in-chief to discuss important matters with his uncle. ”

Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other, and the first thing that came to mind was Wang Feng's ability to recruit and rebel!

Zuo Zongtang's face suddenly sank and said, "Could it be that Commander Wang asked you to persuade the old man to surrender?" ”

Yang Changjun smiled and shook his head: "Uncle's heart is like a rock, it is by no means a matter of words, how can the commander-in-chief do such a laborious thing?" The little nephew came for the evil deeds of the Russians. ”

"What do you mean?" Zuo Zongtang urged.

Yang Changjun's expression was solemn: "The Russians are brutal, rape and plunder, and do all kinds of evil, and the commander-in-chief wants to cooperate with his uncle to join forces to destroy the Russian army." ”

"This" Zuo Zongtang looked at Yang Changjun in a daze, speechless for a long time, if he wants to say hate, he must hate to peel the Russians and cramp and light the sky lantern, but the Russians are his allies, and the Democratic Alliance is his enemy, helping the enemy to fight his own friendly army, is this not a rebellion or what? He was almost about to scold Yang Changjun!

It's just that deep down in his heart. There is also a thing called conscience, and there is also an emotion called responsibility. He can't forget the helplessness and despair of the people of Nanyang who have been robbed of their homes, their wives and daughters, and he can't forget the dead eyes of the refugees on the street corner looking at him. He couldn't forget the poor woman who was buried in his cloak.

"Hey!" Zuo Zongtang was in a dilemma, and after sighing heavily, he waved his hand and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I won't embarrass you today, virtuous nephew, you go back, next time I see you, the old man will not miss any old feelings again." ”

This is already a break from friendship. But Yang Changjun didn't move a step and asked coldly: "Uncle, please forgive the little nephew for being disrespectful, are you Chinese?" ”

Zuo Zongtang did not answer, because he is Chinese, he can only answer like this, and this will inevitably fall into Yang Changtong's trap, Yang Changjun will definitely persuade him with national righteousness next, and he will have no power to fight back.

Yang Changjun said unrelentingly: "Uncle." What are you running away from? Are you afraid to answer, or can't? ”

"Brother Shiquan!" Tao Wei said unhappily: "Don't go too far! ”

"No!" Yang Changjun waved his hand violently: "I must make it clear today, the Russians are ravaging Nanyang, and your inaction can be understood as powerlessness to stop it." I don't blame you, after all, there are only 10,000 garrisons in Xiangyang, and you have to guard against the Democratic Alliance forces in Hankou, Hanyang. And where is the strength to stop the Russian army? But why did you refuse the Commander-in-Chief's kindness?

Do you expect the Russian army to break the NLD? I tell you, it's just wishful thinking. The Russian army is backward in equipment and loose in discipline. Moreover, the Russian army is not entirely Russian, a considerable part, including his 20,000 cavalry, are Cossack cavalry.

Uncle may not understand the relationship between the Gossac and the Russians, so let me tell you, the Cossack cavalry came from the Black Sea coast of Europe, and was a Russian servant army, which was equivalent to the relationship between the Mongolian cavalry and the Qing Dynasty, and its equipment level was also similar to that of the Mongolian cavalry.

A few years ago, the Democratic Alliance could completely annihilate the East India Company, which had superior weapons and equipment.

So, are you worried that after the Democratic Alliance Army destroyed the Russian army, it will use false ways to attack Jingxiang and capture Jingxiang? I know the commander-in-chief, although he is full of wisdom, but he promises a thousand dollars, it is impossible to deceive my uncle, I dare to use the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, after the annihilation of the Russian army, the Democratic Alliance will withdraw to Hanyang as soon as possible, even if you want to take Jingxiang, you will fight with a knife and a gun! ”

Zuo Zongtang and Tao Wei didn't speak, their faces became more and more embarrassed, and they were a little ashamed, as if they didn't dare to look at Yang Changjun.

"Oh~~ I see!" Yang Changjun swept his eyes coldly, and said: "It turns out that my uncle is worried about being punished by the court, hehe, haha, my uncle often has the ambition to help the country when he is young, but now he protects his self, and the gentleman does not set up a false Taoism under the dangerous wall. ”

"You are presumptuous!" Zuo Zongtang finally couldn't help but reprimand.

Yang Changjun sneered: "The Democratic Alliance Army has two armies stationed in Hanyang, the Fourteenth Army is from the former Taiping Army Lin Qirong Department, and it has not been a long time since it was formed, but the Fourth Army is definitely an ace army, and the backbone is from Su Sanniang's department, the soldiers who survived the bloody siege of the Qing army in Linqing, with the strength of 50,000 people in two armies, and hundreds of new artillery, can take Xiangyang first, and then attack Nanyang, or encircle the point to send reinforcements, and take the opportunity to destroy the Russian army, but the commander-in-chief did not do this, but thought of cooperating with his uncle, uncle knows why?" ”

"Why?" Zuo Zongtang had no doubt that the Democratic Alliance Army had the strength to capture Xiangyang, and asked with a stinky face.

Yang Changjun said word by word: "The Russians are heinous in their crimes, and the commander-in-chief is unwilling to let one go, so he seeks cooperation with his uncle, of course, between Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan and his uncle, his uncle is the most respected person by the commander-in-chief, which is the key reason." ”

As soon as he said this, Zuo Zongtang immediately understood that even if the Democratic Alliance attacked the Russian army, even if it was broken, there would inevitably be Russians who would escape, bringing secondary damage to the people along the way, and only by leading the Russians into a trap could they be completely annihilated, and the Russians definitely did not think that they would cooperate with the Democratic Alliance Army.

If you can completely annihilate the Russian army, as long as you control your subordinates, you don't have to worry about the fact that you are colluding with the Democratic Alliance Army to leak out, not to mention that Wang Feng's reputation is still quite good, since he guarantees that he will not fake the way, then he will not take advantage of the situation to take Jingxiang, in this way, he may not be able to cooperate with the Democratic Alliance Army, because he also hates the Russians!

But if the Russian army is annihilated, how much impact will it have on Huaibei and Lunan?

Zuo Zongtang's eyebrows twisted, and he secretly analyzed.

At this time, Yang Changjun said again: "The Qing court's description of the Democratic Alliance Army and the commander-in-chief is mostly slanderous and framing, in fact, just look at Wang Youling, Sheng Kang and other truly loyal people, and even Old Master Ding is willing to repair the history of the Democratic Alliance."

In his early years, when the Taiping Army was at the beginning, his uncle secretly met with Hong Yang, didn't he just want to find out if these two people could undertake the great cause of reviving the Han people? In that case, why didn't the uncle try to talk to the commander-in-chief in detail? You must know that seeing is believing, and hearing is false! The little nephew is all about this, I hope that my uncle can focus on the people of Nanyang! ”

After speaking, Yang Changjun bowed deeply.

Zuo Zongtang was slightly shocked, he did have some illusions about Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing back then, but the result of the meeting made him very disappointed, Hong Xiuquan is a god, and Yang Xiuqing is very talented, which is not enough to recover the Han people, and the series of events that happened later also proved his original judgment very well.

Today, the Democratic Alliance has shown its edge, forcing the Qing Dynasty into a desperate situation, in short, it is a thousand times better than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, why can't he give Wang Feng another chance?

Yang Changjun woke up Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Zongtang was originally a nationalist, and only served the Qing court when Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing were not of great use, and from this point, there is an essential difference from Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang.

But the real question is that the Democratic Alliance is about to face a siege by the Seven Nations Maritime Combined Fleet and the Jedi counterattack of the Imperial Court, can Wang Feng survive this hurdle?

Zuo Zongtang didn't know, but he also knew that it was precisely because of the uncertainty of the situation that Yang Changjun did not persuade him to surrender during this trip, but offered to cooperate and give him a sufficient time to observe.

After a little hesitation, Zuo Zongtang asked, "How to cooperate?" ”

Yang Changjun suddenly perked up, and said solemnly: "Liu Xuande once burned Cao's army in Bowangpo, and the commander-in-chief also intends to annihilate the Russian army in Bowangpo, as long as my uncle releases the wind to the Russian army, and our Democratic Alliance army appears near Bowangpo, the Russians will inevitably attack, and according to the terrain of Bowangpo, it is entirely possible to arrange an ambush circle in advance."

As for the number of the Democratic Alliance Army, just one army, 25,000 people, the Russian army sent too few people to eat, it is possible to come out of the nest, what does my uncle think? ”

Bowangpo is located in the southwest of Fangcheng County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, 30 kilometers, the north bears the Funiu Mountain, the south faces the hidden mountain, the west leans on the Baihe, it is the Mangang that the Funiu Mountain extends here, the terrain is dangerous, it is the thoroughfare of the ancient Xianghan Pass Road, and it is known as the place where the soldiers must fight.

Setting up an ambush with superior forces in Bowangpo is indeed very likely to make dumplings for the Russian army!

'High! Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart, Wang Feng's use of terrain and terrain, such as ambushing Xiang Rong's pursuers at Niushou Mountain south of Nanjing, and then destroying the British, French and British allied forces with mines in the field, and annihilating the Seng Lingqin Department and Shengbao Department with the special terrain of Linqing, and relying on Baoshan City to block the East India Company, making it difficult to advance an inch, and Shengsheng seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

The first battle example is remarkable, Zuo Zongtang has also studied it carefully, he found that even if he changed himself, he could only do Wang Feng's level at most, and this was still based on the afterthought, because when he was about to fight, he might not be able to make the most correct judgment, so that no matter what he thought of Wang Feng, just military talent made him impressed.

"Hmm~~" Zuo Zongtang suppressed the emotion in his heart and nodded: "What detailed plan does Commander Wang have?" ”

Yang Changjun arched his hand: "The commander-in-chief entrusted the little nephew and uncle with full authority to negotiate. ”

"Come with me to the study, light watch, you can come too." Zuo Zongtang thought about it, put his hands behind his back, and turned away. (To be continued......)
