In order to avoid the rumors in Changsha, Zeng Guofan sat in charge of the sailor, looking at the information from all directions, his head was as big as a cow, and he didn't know which way to fight, Luo Bingzhang also knew that the long-haired person was not good, so he specially came to Zeng Guofan's ship to visit.

When Luo Bingzhang came in, he saw that Zeng Guofan was reading "Ji Xiao's New Book", and sneered: "Disheng is so interested! The fire burns the eyebrows, and I'm still in the mood to read! ”

Zeng Guofan also had a lot of opinions about Luo Bingzhang, but the other party was the governor, and he had a request for him, so he didn't dare to offend, but now he had no worries, and replied without raising his head: "It's not my eyebrows that burned, of course I'm not in a hurry." After that, I turned another page and continued reading.

"You ......" Luo Bingzhang's attitude immediately softened, "Disheng is still angry!" To tell you the truth, you lost the battle in Baling County, but I have an excerpt to argue for you, and now you can't see death without help, after all, we used to cooperate quite happily. ”

"Pleasant? The corner of Lord Futai is digging very well, you can continue to dig! You don't need to be somebody. Zeng Guofan put down the military book and picked up the tea bowl, as if he meant to serve tea to the guests.

Luo Bingzhang didn't choose to say, "Shave your head...... Don't go too far! "It turned out that before Zeng Guofan set out on the expedition, he set up a 'trial bureau' in Changsha, specializing in hearing cases related to anti-thieves, encouraging the people to report the lawless people around them, giving rewards, as long as there is a confession of the whistleblower, the case will be closed immediately after a little interrogation, and more than 200 people were killed in just three days.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you back Wang Zhu! In the future, I will have nothing to say about supplying Hunan army food and salary! When it comes to his future, Luo Bingzhang can only choose to admit defeat.

Zeng Guofan put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Lord Futai said that he was joking, how dare the lower officials let the adults admit their mistakes, Changmao is here this time, I have a way to deal with it, please go back to Changsha with peace of mind." ”

"How can I feel at ease? The long hair is menacing, and it is clear that he will not give up if he does not take Changsha...... This...... In case of...... That's it, I'll live and die with Changsha. Luo Bingzhang thought of Changsha City, he, the governor, couldn't run anyway.

Zeng Guofan invited Luo Bingzhang into the war room, only to see that the officers of the Hunan army and the battalions were already waiting here!

"The long-haired soldiers are divided into three ways this time, it seems to be fierce, but in fact it is a big mistake, I have a cloud towards Taizu: no matter how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way! The long-haired attack on Xiangtan has the most people, with nearly 10,000 people! I plan to advance to Xiangtan County and block Changmao, as long as I defeat this way, the other two roads are not to worry. Zeng Guofan seemed to be cheering everyone up, and he said impassionedly.

Before Zhu Sunyi held the meeting, he got important information and said tentatively: "Marshal Qiqi, there is a long hair all the way in Jinggang, there are only 3,000 men and horses, and the defense is loose, according to the report of the leader of Jinggang Township Yong, he has secretly built a pontoon bridge on the river, and is willing to assist in the attack and act as a guide. ”

Zeng Guofan's determination was shaken a little, this attack on Jinggang seems to be more cost-effective than fighting Xiangtan, it is really a pity to give up, if he can win a battle near Changsha, it will be of great help to him to change the current difficult situation.

Guo Songtao said worriedly: "But the vanguard army has already gone to Xiangtan, and you can't have both fish and bear's paws, so it's safer to choose one of them to attack all the way." ”

Luo Bingzhang listened to Guo Songtao's words, and only then did he react, this military meeting had already been prepared, but he was just acting for him, and he secretly laughed in his heart that shaving his head would only play tricks.

Liu Rong saw that Zeng Guofan was hesitant, and admonished: "Changmao is scheming, how do you know that Jinggang Changmao's precautions are lax, is it not to lure our army to be deceived?" Could it be that Changmao can still capture Changsha with only 3,000 people! On the contrary, Xiangtan County was designed by us a long time ago, and Xiangtan should be guarded by reason. ”

Zeng Guofan suddenly realized that there were only 3,000 people in Jinggang Changmao, and he was the closest one to Changsha among the three route armies.

"Ben Shuai ordered, act according to the original plan!"

Luo Bingzhang, who returned to Changsha City, was not quiet, thinking that since there are few long-haired people in Jinggang Town, and the precautions are lax, isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Hurriedly ordered someone to find Bao Qibao, the governor of Hunan, to discuss.

Listening to Luo Bingzhang's introduction to the general's situation, Bao Qibao became excited, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he has long wanted to be promoted, but he has never had a chance, if he leads the army to annihilate this group of long hair, promoted to make a fortune, no one can gossip, thinking of this, Bao Qibao said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Futai for your guidance, this official is grateful, if you make a contribution to the attack on Jinggang, you must not forget your benefits, and you will go down to prepare and leave!" Without waiting for Luo Bingzhang to stay, Bao Qibao rushed to the military camp to transfer troops in a hurry.

Luo Bingzhang looked at Bao Qibao's back, stroked his beard and smiled, this is a profitable deal, he won, it is his command Ruoding, and he also has a credit for Luo Bingzhang; was defeated, it was Admiral Bao Qibao's greed and recklessness, and it had nothing to do with him.

Yu Zhongfu looked at the leisurely Huang Zaixing and asked, "Can the Qing Demon really be fooled?" I see that this matter is hanging, the Qing Demon has eaten us so many times, how can he be easily fooled. ”

Huang Zaixing said: "Four hours ago, the leader of the township in Jinggang Town secretly went to Changsha, obviously asking for reinforcements, and he sent someone to build a small pontoon bridge 2 miles away. ”

Yu Zhongfu said angrily: "Later, I will take this Xiangyong leader Yun Zhongxue, I have already ambushed the cannon in a hidden place and aimed it at the center of the river, plus three hundred small boats, as long as the Qing Demon dares to come, I will let them go and never return." ”

Bao Qibao took the 4,000 green battalion and the 2,000 sailors to the outside of Jinggang Town in less than two hours, looked at the leader of the township in front of him, and asked, "Where is the pontoon bridge?" Lead the way! ”

Huang Zaixing heard the spies report that the Qing demon had come, and hurriedly notified the inspector Yu Zhongfu and rushed to the ambush site.

"Check it out, you see, the Qing Demon really has a sailor, why don't we bombard the Qing Demon ship with cannons, and then send a small boat to attack the Qing Demon Ship, only use fire to force them to go ashore, and catch them all!"

Yu Zhongfu praised: "Good way! That's it. ”

'Boom'

'Boom'

……

"There is ......" Bao Qibao heard the sound of cannons and panicked.

"Lord Admiral, it's in the water! You see one of our ships has been sunk. Adjutant General Deqing pointed to the river and shouted.

Bao Qibao suddenly had a bad premonition, and desperately comforted himself that it was just a coincidence, and Long Mao was not prepared.

"My lord! Oh no, we've been ambushed, and Longhair is prepared. Deqing pointed to the hundreds of small boats on the river, and his heart became flustered.

Bao Qibao whipped him fiercely and scolded: "This official is not blind, you can see it!" I don't believe that a warship a few feet long can't beat a small boat. ”

The Qing troops on the shore all stopped advancing, and watched as the two fleets on the river gradually approached, during which their own warships were constantly shelled from the opposite shore.

Bao Qibao watched the long-haired boat be flexible and fickle, constantly igniting things and throwing them on the warship, while his own warship was too heavy to dodge! Soon all of them were blazing with fire and heading towards the shore.

Before the warship docked, the water warriors on the ship jumped off the boat one after another, went ashore and fled for their lives, at this time, the Taiping army ambushed everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky! Seeing this, Bao Qibao hurriedly mobilized Lu Yong to support, but Lu Yong saw Shui Yong fleeing for his life, and also retreated, Bao Qibao personally took the sword and set up the flag to supervise the battle, however, the defeat was like a mountain, the soldiers bypassed the banner and continued to flee, and the deputy general Deqing saw that the general trend had gone, and pulled Bao Qibao to board the warship, left the battlefield, and fled in the direction of Changsha.
