I have to say that Zeng Guofan is angry, he is still very imposing, and some of the old generals of the Hunan army have lowered their heads, but Miao Peilin is famous in history, arrogant and arrogant, and is known as the most unprincipled warlord in history, how can such a person be frightened by Zeng Guofan?

"Humph!" Miao Peilin snorted coldly: "Lord Zeng doesn't want to talk about him left and right, but he plans to retreat to Hebei?" ”

"This" Zeng Guofan's face was a little ugly, Li Hongzhang hurriedly took it, and tried his last hand to persuade: "Ladies and gentlemen, the court has retreated 200,000 troops to Hebei a few days ago, and now only our lone army is left in the Central Plains, if we don't retreat as soon as possible, once surrounded by shorthair, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. ”

"Hahahaha~~" Hu Yihuang suddenly laughed and said: "At this time, Lord Li is still deceiving himself? Now the situation is extremely unfavorable for us, and it is not a bad idea to withdraw from the army, but when the court left, he didn't even notify us, which clearly showed that he was using our 150,000 brothers as cannon fodder for the palace.

It is reasonable that even if he wants to retreat, he should consult with us and coordinate the time to act in unison, but he left very simply, without even saying hello, where did he treat us as his own people?

Shared suffering? Hehe~~ I'm afraid that before the tribulation is over, we will already have our heads on the ground, even if the court is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust! ”

Peng Yulin also arched his hand: "Li Shuai, Zeng Shuai, most of the families of our generals have fallen into the hands of the Democratic Alliance and retreated to Hebei. What about these people? Forcibly withdrawing from the army may invite resentment. It is even possible to mutiny on the spot, please think twice about it! ”

Zeng Guofan said with a cold face: "Then you say." What should I do? Do you want to fight to the death with shorthair? ”

"Lord Zeng, are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Miao Peilin said with a hint of mockery: "Don't put on that righteous and awe-inspiring appearance in front of us, well, since you are pretending to be stupid, we will open the skylight and say bright things, if you want to live, there is only one way to go, surrender to the Democratic Alliance!" ”

Li Xubin gritted his teeth and followed: "Zeng Shuai." We all know that Commander Wang has a little misunderstanding about you, but don't worry, there are so many of us who will help mediate, and it will be okay if you want to talk about it, as for Li Shuai."

After a little hesitation, Li Xubin said again: "Actually, everyone understands what's going on, but isn't that Zhang Lexing also a good thing." He died at the hands of Li Shuai, and he could only blame him for his bad luck and a step late, while Commander Wang was a reasonable person. From the fact that he did not reuse Zhang Zongyu, it can be seen that Commander Wang will never embarrass Li Shuai. ”

"That's right!" Another person said: "Commander Wang seems to have said that the dispute between Li Shuai and Zhang Lexing is a dog-eat-dog." Isn't it an indication of an attitude that there is no one more noble than the other? Maybe Commander Wang will also appreciate Li Shuai's methods. To reuse it, in short, Li Shuai, please rest assured. We will all help you speak, isn't the weight of the whole army of more than 100,000 people comparable to a mere Zhang Zongyu? ”

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he would be satisfied if he didn't die, he was reused by Wang Feng, he didn't dare to have extravagant hopes, who wouldn't be afraid of the means of letting Zhang Lexing die and bear the notoriety? Isn't Wang Feng worried about being bitten back in the future?

If it weren't for the fact that the Qing Dynasty was no longer good and he had the opportunity to support the army and stand on his own, Li Hongzhang would not have used such vicious means to deal with Zhang Lexing, and the subsequent development of the situation also proved that Li Hongzhang was right to kill Zhang Lexing, but who would have expected that the defeat would come so quickly?

At this time, Li Hongzhang can only admit defeat in betting, but if there is a choice, Li Hongzhang would rather flee to Beijing, but does he have a choice? This is a soldier's advice!

Now the generals can still persuade patiently, but people's patience is limited, after the patience is exhausted, let alone being kidnapped, or even being beheaded and dedicated to Wang Feng.

It's always a chance to see Wang Feng alive, isn't it? Li Hongzhang cast his inquiring gaze to Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan's face was full of struggle, judging from everyone's analysis, Li Hongzhang had a great hope of survival, but he was different, Wang Feng once said in public that he would kill his whole family, how could this kind of character say casually, he didn't want to gamble, and he didn't dare to gamble.

Gritting his teeth, Zeng Guofan suddenly bowed and shook: "On both sides of the avenue, go one side, since you are bent on defecting to the short hair, then the official will leave by himself!" ”

"Master Zeng, why are you doing this?" Biner faintly blocked Zeng Guofan.

"What do you mean, you Binel?" Zeng Guofan's face changed drastically, he actually had no hope of leading the army across the Yellow River, he just wanted the generals to let him go, so as not to fall into Wang Feng's hands.

Miao Peilin smiled gloomily: "Lord Zeng, you are the marshal of the Hunan army, how can Commander Wang's guest be without Lord Zeng?" ”

Zeng Guofan said in a deep voice: "What if this official has to leave? Do you dare to do it? ”

While saying this, Zeng Guofan looked at Peng Yulin and other old subordinates of the Hunan army, but what made his heart cold was that the eyes of these people were all dodging, and no one stood up to intercede for him.

Miao Peilin was bold and said, "Lord Zeng, the lower officials have offended." As he spoke, he waved back: "Come on, give Master Zeng a quiet place to think about it." ”

"Yes!" Several soldiers rushed in, these were all soldiers from the Twist Army, and they were naturally not afraid of Zeng Guofan, so they grabbed it when they went up, pushed and shoved it and escorted it out of the tent.

"Let go, let go!" Zeng Guo shouted angrily, but it was still the same as before, no one said even half a word for him, until the shouting gradually faded away.

'This is really a wall that everyone is pushing down!' Li Hongzhang sighed secretly, arched his hand and said, "Li will stay here, please take some change of clothes for Li." ”

"Brother Gradual, this is very good, then we won't bother, farewell!" Seeing that Li Hongzhang was so knowledgeable and interesting, he even changed his title, Peng Yulin nodded, and after saying goodbye, he slowly withdrew with everyone

In fact, even if some of the generals' families were not detained in the hands of the Democratic Alliance Army, no one would be willing to cross the Yellow River to join Xianfeng.

After all, the situation is obvious, although the Qing Dynasty escaped by luck, it was only barely supported, defecting to the Qing Dynasty is no different from sending them to death, and the soldiers and horses of the court do not say goodbye, which is equivalent to abandonment in essence, which is too chilling.

This army of 150,000 people, after the monk Lingqin led his troops to cross the river, has become an out-and-out lone army, except for surrender, there is only a death battle, and there is no point in fighting to the death.

It turned out that the generals came together, and the original purpose was not to force the palace, but to persuade, but with the existence of Miao Peilin, coupled with Zeng Guofan's non-cooperation, the situation developed into Li Hongzhang's house arrest, Zeng Guofan's imprisonment, and the nature evolved from persuasion to military advice.

Soon, the whole army was clear about the causes and consequences of surrendering to the NLD forces, and because of the reputation of the NLD forces, almost none of the 150,000 people resisted, they laid down their arms early the next morning and surrendered to the NLD forces on the other side of the position.

With Suzhou as the center, on a land of hundreds of square kilometers, the gunfire that had been resounding for months finally stopped, and everyone was waiting for Wang Feng to arrive.

Five days later, that is, on February 26, Wang Feng came to Suzhou, and brought Shi Dakai, Zhou Shengbo, Zhang Shusheng, Liu Mingchuan, Jiang Zhongji, Su Sanniang and other important personnel to meet with nearly 100 high-level members of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army.

These people, although they are still wearing robes and horse coats, have cut their braids, Zhang Zongyu has been promoted to the company commander of the Black Eagle Special Combat Team after a period of experience, and he was also called over by Wang Feng, his eyes searched the crowd, perhaps out of instinct, he saw Li Hongzhang at first sight, and immediately erupted with raging anger.

Li Hongzhang secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Wang Feng waved his hand, stopped Zhang Zongyu's urge to kill with a knife, and looked at the person who walked in front in surprise, this person was neither Li Hongzhang nor Zeng Guofan, with a strange face, eight feet long, with a bare face, with a gloomy eye, and no facial expression, and the eyes of the people around him were mainly disgusted.

Seeing Wang Feng looking at him, this person took two steps forward and bowed deeply: "Fengtai Miao Peilin participates in Commander-in-Chief Wang!" ”

"Miao Peilin? Are you Miao Peilin? Wang Feng asked in surprise.

"It's despicable!" Miao Peilin was secretly happy, but he didn't bother to boast about the role he played in the surrender process, after all, five days have passed, and Wang Feng, who should know, will know, and talking too much will make people disgusted.

The rest of them all shook their heads secretly, especially Liu Mingchuan, who had fought with Miao Peilin, although they were very unaccustomed to Miao Peilin's face, but when it came to organizing a military admonition for him, Wang Feng had to treat Miao Peilin well, and it could only be said that Miao Peilin was lucky by stepping on shit.

In fact, Wang Feng really wanted to pull Miao Peilin out and shoot him, this person has no principled position, he is a political opportunist, the people in the territory under his jurisdiction are not happy, they are mourning, they are full of gangsters, and they also dig up soil and graves to replenish military funds.

It's just that Wang Feng can't be rash, Miao Peilin is the organizer of the military advice, he has great merit, and killing it will have a bad impact, at most, he can only rise and surrender and strip off the military power, and this person is obviously not welcomed in the Huai army, and he can mix sand with it.

"Get up!" Wang Feng burst out with a sincere smile: "I remember you, you step aside first." ”

Although Wang Feng didn't make any promises, there was a hint of importance in his words, and Miao Peilin was overjoyed and retreated to the side.

Wang Feng set his eyes on Li Hongzhang again, Li Hongzhang immediately mentioned it, and Zhang Zongyu couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife.

"Li Hongzhang!" After watching it for a long time, Li Hongzhang's scalp was numb, Zhang Zongyu's palms were sweating, and Wang Fengcai said: "You are a talent, knowledgeable, broad-minded, ambitious in the world, thoughtful, and vicious, good, very good!"

People like you are what I lack, although I really want to reuse you, but Zhang Zongyu stands by my side, I can't ignore his feelings, so let's give you a chance, I hope you can persuade Zhang Zongyu not to pursue Zhang Lexing's matter. (To be continued......)
