The arrival of Zeng Guofan made Zuo Zongtang and others seem to be living ghosts, they thought it was impossible, Zeng Guofan was the commander of the Qing army, how could he come here, and how could he be mixed with the commander of the Taiping Army, and, judging from their attitude, these two people do not seem to be enemies, but there is a little intimacy in it, which is also too incredible, they have a feeling of being scared stupid, anyway, at this moment, they can't say a word.

"San'er, Si'er, Guohua, Yuandu, are you okay?" From the moment Zeng Guofan came in, his gaze never left Zuo Zongtang and the others.

His gaze swept over the faces of Zuo Zongtang, Hu Si'er, Zeng Guohua, Li Yuandu and other four people one by one, he called the names of several people, his voice was choked, his voice was a little trembling, everyone could feel that he was very excited.

The deathly silence, no one responded to Zeng Guofan, not only that, but what was even more exaggerated was that the four people who were called did not have the slightest intention of waking up from the shock, as if they were enchanted.

"Don't you all know me?" Zeng Guofan took a few steps forward suddenly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zuo Zongtang's arm.

Zuo Zongtang was very uncomfortable with the reaction of the four people, you know, these four people have a very ordinary relationship with him, and their attitude is very important.

"Dashuai, how could you, you are here, and you were also captured by the Taiping Army?" Maybe it was because Zeng Guofan was too hard, Zuo Zongtang seemed to wake up like a dream, and then asked reflexively, but it was undeniable that his voice sounded anxious, and his concern was beyond words.

Zeng Guofan naturally heard the concern in Zuo Zongtang's words, he patted Zuo Zongtang's shoulder vigorously, nodded with relief, then shook his head again, and finally sighed, but did not speak.

His series of expressions seemed to make Zuo Zongtang and the others puzzled, perhaps, not many people can understand the meaning contained in this, and perhaps, Huang Xu can understand some.

"Shuai, you, what do you mean?" Sure enough, after Zuo Zongtang heard it, he was a little confused

"The division was indeed captured by the Taiping army." Zeng Guofan is secluded and authentic.

"What, it won't, Dashuai, how is it possible." Zuo Zongtang absolutely didn't believe it, even if it was Zeng Guofan himself who spoke.

Zeng Guofan's words made Zuo Zongtang's heart begin to flutter violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

"Really, the teacher didn't lie to you." Zeng Guofan was a little painful.

"Huang Xu, what do you want, if you have any tricks, just rush at me, you will let us go." Zuo Zongtang turned his head and said sharply to Huang Xu.

In his mind, he always thought that Huang Xu had played some trick to make Zeng Guofan speak like this, this was what he could think of, and the only reason why Zeng Guofan became like this.

Huang Xu shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands at Zuo Zongtang, and smiled at Zeng Guofan, which means that he has nothing to say.

"San'er, don't be rude, you haven't finished speaking as a teacher." Zeng Guofan stopped Zuo Zongtang Dao.

"Teacher, they didn't embarrass you, did they?" Zuo Zongtang asked, his words were completely true.

Yes, Zuo Zongtang didn't say anything else, but first greeted the teacher's safety, and this concern will not be fake.

"No, no, they're nice to me." Zeng Guofan said with a smile.

"Teacher, please rest assured, there are three children here, they don't dare to do anything to you, it's a big deal, three children fight with them." Zuo Zongtang made up his mind to maintain the safety of his teacher.

"San'er, don't be impulsive, you have something to say for the teacher." Zeng Guofan hurriedly said.

"Yes, Teacher." Zuo Zongtang said respectfully.

"How are you staying here all this time, no one is embarrassing you, right?" Zeng Guofan felt that his words were simply superfluous, but what could he say now besides saying these.

"No, thank you for your concern, we live here very well, we just have nothing to do, a little idle and panic." Zuo Zongtang said truthfully.

"That's good, that's good." Zeng Guofan nodded and said yes vigorously.

"Teacher, don't you have something to say to the students, and the students are willing to share their worries for the teacher." Zuo Zongtang hasn't forgotten jì, his teacher still has something to tell him, and he still understands the truth of respecting teachers.

"Yes, yes, the teacher does have something to say to you." Zeng Guofan nodded, but did not speak.

Zuo Zongtang could see that his teacher seemed to have a difficult face, so the doubts in his heart were even worse.

Everyone knows that as the former commander of the Qing army, Zeng Guofan's image to outsiders has always been the type that is decisive and courageous, but at this time, he is a little hesitant, he doesn't know how to talk to his disciples, brothers, and generals about his surrender, let alone persuade them to return to heaven like himself. Originally, before he came, he was still very confident, but when he really met Zuo Zongtang and a few people, he realized that he really couldn't say a lot of words.

"Zuo Dashuai, what your teacher means is that he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and is determined to stand on the side of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and share great things with us." Huang Xu looked at Zeng Guofan's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but help him and said.

"You, what are you talking about, impossible, Huang Xu, you fart." Zuo Zongtang said angrily.

Zuo Zongtang believes that he heard it wrong, how is this possible, his teacher, Zeng Guofan is the dignified commander of the Qing Dynasty, the banner of the Hunan army, and his idol, he has said to people more than once that his teacher is the wisest, most loyal, and most admired person in the world, and now someone sues him, his teacher has thrown himself into his hostile camp, which in his opinion, this is absolutely impossible, if that is the case, then he Zuo Zongtang and his teacher Zeng Guofan, have not become jokes?

Huang Xu listened to Zuo Zongtang's disrespectful words, and smiled bitterly, he didn't have the same knowledge as him, but just spread his hands towards Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan also smiled bitterly, staring at Zuo Zongtang without speaking.

"Teacher, is it true, is it true?" Looking at the expressions of the two, Zuo Zongtang's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

Although Huang Xu's words made him a little puzzled, but from beginning to end, he didn't want to believe that his teacher had really surrendered to the enemy, if he admitted this fact, it would be even more uncomfortable for him than killing him.

"Yes" may be that he knows that there is no way to avoid it, Zeng Guofan said softly.

The word "yes" in Zeng Guofan's mouth, in the eyes of ordinary people, is easy to say and sounds simple, but in Zeng Guofan's words, it is more than a thousand pounds, and in Zuo Zongtang's ears, it is like a thunderbolt in the sky.

"Shuai, are you sure you're mistaken? You must be telling us a joke, it must be like this" Zuo Zongtang was speechless, but after Zeng Guohua next to him heard it, he couldn't help but shout.

"Guohua, when did the eldest brother ever joke about such a thing?" Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly again and said.

"No, no, Dashuai, you must have made a mistake, you said, are you forced, don't worry, as long as you say a word, the end will fight with these rabbit cubs, you don't need to be wronged by yourself at all, the end is to see who has the courage to dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head." Zeng Guofan shouted.

"Guohua, no one forced me, everything was my willing." Zeng Guofan really didn't know how to explain it to his brother.

"Dashuai, you, you, you are going to ruin your own reputation!" Zeng Guohua sat on the ground with his butt and howled with his head in his hands.

"Guohua, don't be like this, you listen to the eldest brother." In fact, Zeng Guofan didn't know where to start.

"Big brother, don't say it, my mind is very messy now, I want to be quiet." Zeng Guohua said weakly.

"Alas..."Zeng Guofan only sighed in addition to a long sigh.

"Dashuai, according to the general, you should please go back for the time being, this matter is too sudden, everyone must not be able to accept it for a while, the last general also asks you to leave a little more time for everyone, let everyone calm down first, go back and think about it, and when everyone has figured it out, we will communicate." Li Yuandu, who had not spoken for a long time, interjected.

Li Yuandu's words are also reasonable.

"Okay then." Zeng Guofan can only do this.

He looked weakly at Zuo Zongtang, who was still sleepwalking, Zeng Guohua, who was sitting on the ground, Li Yuandu, who had a desolate face, and Hu Si'er, who was stupid, and his heart was suddenly discharged.

It seems that Zuo Zongtang and the others will not give him any chance to explain for the time being.

"Marshal, General Li is reasonable, I think, let's go first, wait for them to think calmly first, maybe the next time we come back, they have already figured it out and are willing to talk to you." Huang Xu also persuaded.

"That's all it can be." Zeng Guofan looked like a scoundrel.

"I'm sure they'll understand." Huang Xu understands that everything needs to have a process.

"Okay." Zeng Guofan's mood is incomprehensible.

"Four, then you think about it first, let's come back in a few days, Zeng Dashuai did this, there must be a reason for him to do this, I hope you don't blame him too much, his heart should be more bitter than yours, you think about it." Parting, Huang Xu said to the four again.

At this moment, Li Yuandu is one of the four people, his mind is still relatively sober, he listened to Huang Xu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded as if he had understood, and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely enlighten them, we are here waiting for the big handsome to come again."

Zeng Guofan heard what Huang Xu said just now, glanced at Huang Xu gratefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the one who knew him was none other than Huang Xu, and then listened to Li Yuandu's words, he knew that Li Yuandu was a veteran who had followed him for many years, and he was more rational in dealing with problems.

"Take care." Zeng Guofan left a sentence and left with Huang Xu.

Their plan to persuade Zuo Zongtang to surrender is in vain for the time being. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
