When Xianfeng abandoned the city and fled, the intelligence officers successively informed Li Hongzhang's troops in Tianjin, Chen Yucheng's Fourth Army in Datong, Li Xiucheng's First Group Army in Baoding, and Luo's Second Army in Cangzhou.

Cangzhou City was like a powder keg at this time, and many generals of the Han army did not understand Luo Outline's decision very much, and at this time, the main generals of the Second Army, the Tenth Army, and the Cavalry Army gathered together and surrounded Luo Outline and Li Desheng.

Liu Cai, the commander of the Tenth Army, had a quick temper, and first complained to Luo Xuan: "Marshal! We fought all the way from Xuzhou to Cangzhou, and how many brothers died because of this! Now I'm watching Xianfeng Xiao'er escape! Capturing Xianfeng alive is a miracle, even if it is crowned king, it is not surprising, why is the handsome like this! ”

The generals nodded again and again, capturing Xianfeng alive, although you Luo outline is the king and the prince, we can also get some oil and water, when the emperor is in a good mood, the marquis is not a problem, if the ancestral tomb smokes, and personally catches Xianfeng, not only has a title to be sealed, it is also a good thing to go down in history.

Ye Lian gasped and stared at Luo Outline angrily, she thought that this was Luo Outline deliberately targeting her, and the cavalry had already taken the lead in chasing the enemy, and now Luo Outline ordered not to attack, obviously guarding against her, on the one hand, complaining about Luo Outline, on the other hand, secretly regretting that he should not often slander the Heaven and Earth Society, so that Luo Outline announced personal vendettas.

There are also many division-level generals who scold, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai, even the members of the Heaven and Earth Society did not understand Luo Outline's decision, if someone had been so bad about Luo Outline in the past, they would have opposed it a long time ago, but now they just have a gloomy face and don't speak.

Li Desheng sighed secretly. Among the Han army, the Second Army was the most complicated.

Luo Outline was born in the Heaven and Earth Society, so he looked at the party members differently. All the big and small leaders who defected were entrusted with important tasks, which greatly angered the Guangxi veterans.

The Guangxi veterans were hugged together under the leadership of Li Desheng. Secretly squeezing out generals from the party.

Li Desheng and Luo Xuan didn't have the heart to fight, but the people below were fighting hotly, and they couldn't persuade them.

There is also Ye Lian's cavalry army of its own, the soldiers who were born in the Heaven and Earth Society have bad military discipline, Ye Lian often runs to Luo Outline to complain, and later heard that Luo Outline is their predecessor, and even slanders the Heaven and Earth Society, such behavior, of course, will be suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Society.

Luo Xuan's face was gloomy. I thought: There is no dispute among other armies, but the Second Army is so a headache, it is okay when it is fighting, everyone is looking forward to winning the battle, making it together, and fighting to the death when the spoils of war are divided, now it is okay, there is no war, everyone is engaged in infighting. It seems that we have to find a way, and it is better to resign from the post after taking Beijing.

Seeing that the two chiefs, Luo Xuan and Li Desheng, were all silent, the quarrel in the house slowly subsided, and after a while. Everyone looked at Luo Xuan and Li Desheng quietly, this is their experience, if they continue to quarrel. The two of them are bound to go crazy and train them one by one.

Luo Xuan waved his hand and said, "You all go down." I have something to discuss with Master Lee. ”

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you. They all got up and said, "The last general will retire!" ”

"Hey! What does this staff mean? I want to let Xianfeng go, and I have to hide it from the soldiers, it's the first time I've received such a strange order! After a pause, Li Desheng said again: "Handsome! There are factions in the Han army, but the factional dispute in the Second Army is the most intense, and many generals have been openly hostile to each other, which I have never seen before, if it is not severely punished, sooner or later it will cause a catastrophe. ”

Luo Xuan blamed himself: "It's all because I'm too soft-hearted, now I really regret it, when I attacked Xuzhou, there would be a few brothers in the world who would risk their lives to take refuge, I entrusted them with important positions, but I didn't expect them to become the climate, now they didn't make a mistake, rash punishment will only make the three armies more dissatisfied, and it is also not righteous, how can I face the brothers." ”

Li Desheng said secretly: This Luo Dagang is a good hand in war, how can he still think that he is the leader of the party, righteousness and military discipline are confused, no wonder the promotion is slow.

Luo Outline asked, "What can Brother Li do?" Do you have to divide the army? ”

Li Desheng waved his hand and said: "Not now, we are about to take Beijing, there is no order, how to divide the troops?" Don't act rashly, by the way, have you heard that the emperor plans to reorganize the army and order the staff to try it out! ”

Luo Outline glanced at Li Desheng enviously, there are people in the DPRK who are good officials, he Luo Outline is a lonely man, Guangxi generals reject him, and the Hunan family even looks down on him as a bandit leader, which is also the reason why he promoted the party members.

Li Desheng said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Brother Luo, this time the emperor of the whole army will promote cadets to serve as grassroots officers, and all battalion-level officers with big characters will be transferred to reserves, or they will be militia leaders, so don't be confused anymore." ”

Luo Xuan was taken aback and asked, "Brother Li, what do you mean by this?" Do you suspect that there are people in the army who are rebelling? ”

Li Desheng's face was solemn, and he complained in his heart that Luo Outline would only promote some characters with poor character, and said: "The generals in the army are unwilling to give up their military power, what will they do?" In particular, the soldiers who were born in a reckless background are unwilling to be restrained, and I am afraid that many people will take risks and regret it too late, and it is not too late to suppress them. ”

Luo Outline understood what Li Desheng meant, and was also dissatisfied with Li Desheng, and said: "The brothers we came out to mix are all righteous and angry, how can there be people with two faces and three swords, but the General Staff Department turned them into militias, which is really inappropriate. ”

Li Desheng endured his anger, he and Luo Xuan are both tough people, if they continue to talk like this, they will only turn against each other, so they decided to endure it for a while, and then slowly persuade each other.

Luo Xuan said: "The emperor can do whatever he wants to me, but the brothers defect to me, I have to think about them, the world has not been unified yet, the emperor will learn Zhao Kuangyin ice wine to release military power, is this too much!" ”

Li Desheng heard him insult the emperor, and he was angry and worried in his heart, this Luo outline will not be resentful! I will try it well, lest he go astray.

"Brother Luo, what I Li Desheng admires the most is you, back then we were the emperor's left hand and right arm, the pioneer, at that time you could say anything, the emperor treated me like a brother, and he would not blame, but now the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the most important thing is to maintain prestige, we can no longer be as unscrupulous as before, these words are all explained by the lord, I think it is very right."

Luo Xuan secretly said: You have the protection of Zhang Suimou and others, even if you say the wrong word, it doesn't matter.

Li Desheng stared at Luo Xuan, and said: "In the past few years, the emperor has promoted a group of henchmen and put them in high positions, but he has not snubbed Brother Luo, except for the six brothers of Shouyi, Brother Luo is the only general who is a marquis, is there anything else that Brother Luo does not hide?" ”

"Smack!" Luo Outline was both shocked and angry, and scolded loudly: "What do you mean by this, when I first took refuge in the emperor, I swore that I would never betray for the rest of my life, is it that I, Luo Outline, am that kind of capricious villain, and I pity the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society because...... Hum! Don't say it! ”

Li Desheng was reprimanded by Luo Xuanyi, looking at his face full of justice and awe-inspiring color, he was ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What is it because of this?" Brother Luo said that as long as the brother can do it, the brother will never refuse! ”

Luo Jian thought to himself: If you don't say it now, it will only make them more suspicious, and it will not be good then. "Hey!" Luo Xuan sighed and said solemnly: "The emperor is the first to rule the world, it is the time to absorb talents, but whether it is a military general or a civil servant, there are factions in the court, especially you Guangxi people and Hunan people, fighting each other, excluding dissidents, there will be a total of millions of brothers in heaven and earth, and the king of Han is to seal his wife and son, and to worship the marquis, and to expel the Tartars is just a slogan, but you are doing everything possible to prevent it, how can people not be discouraged, they see that I am a senior, so they come to take refuge, if I don't treat them well, They will take refuge in the Qing court to oppose us, but it is ridiculous that Zhang Suimou and others only think that I am plotting against us, and they wantonly install cronies in our army and cause a struggle, you are me, what will you do? ”

Li Desheng immediately knelt on the ground and said ashamedly: "It turns out that Brother Luo has good intentions, I misunderstood you, I want you to admit your mistake, but what I said just now is also from the bottom of my heart, please think twice." ”

Luo Xuan hurriedly helped Li Desheng up and said, "Brother Li, rest assured, everything is based on the overall situation!" (To be continued......)
