In the wide tent of the Chinese army, two rows of generals in military uniforms sit opposite each other,

"Bang", Li Yunzhong slapped the table hard, looked at the army commander and division commander who were standing straight below, and said angrily: "It took so much money to break through the city wall, you guys are good, you can't even beat the outer city, and you still have the face to come to see me!" ”

Zuo Zongtang, as the commander of the Southern Expedition, had to excuse everyone, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the Qing army has built a large number of fortifications in the city, and guarded them street by street, especially the streets and alleys, official offices, barracks, temples, canals, bridges, docks, warehouses and other places, the less is 300, the more is 500, the sky is late and our army is exhausted, so we retreated to the city wall to hold on, and planned to clean up one by one tomorrow." ”

Listening to Zuo Zongtang's defense, Li Yunzhong laughed angrily and shouted: "You treat me as a fool, the Qing demons are all crushed in the field battle, they still dare to fight street battles like bears, you must capture Hangzhou before dawn!" ”

Li Chunfa's first army suffered a large loss because of the charge at the front, and seeing that the King of Han did not know the truth of the Qing army, he opened his mouth to explain: "Your Highness, it is not that our army is slack, it is really the Qing army's courage and abnormality, unlike in the past, the last general captured a village warrior leader, please interrogate Your Highness!" ”

Li Yunzhong wanted to see what medicine Zhang Guoliang gave them, and he was able to beat back the Han army that had attacked the city, and said to Li Chun: "Bring him up, I have something to ask!" ”

Li Chunfa replied: "Yes."

After a while, two guards pressed a trembling twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man in.

Li Yunzhong asked, "Who is in the hall?" ”

"The small one's name is Li Fu, a person from Chaozhou, Guangdong, the adult spares his life, and the small one is also forced, and he is not sincere in obstructing the Han army...... Adults spare their lives. As soon as Li Fu came in, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

When Li Chunfa saw that something was wrong, he looked up and saw His Royal Highness sneering at him, kicked Li Fu in a panic, and scolded: "Tell me quickly, what are you doing to stop our army from attacking the city, what benefits does Zhang Guoliang's guy give you to make you work for him like this?" ”

Li Fu cried and replied: "It's Zhang Junmen, Zhang Guoliang inquired about our address clearly, and he also said who wants to surrender...... The Han army was going to connect the nine clans, beheaded all over the house, and promised to repel the Han army, and each officer was promoted to three levels, and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver! We can't help it! ”

It turned out to be this little trick, Li Yunzhong asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" Our Han army is strong and strong, and tens of thousands of defenders in Hangzhou are not enough! ”

Li Fu argued: "Zhang Guoliang is not telling us to defend to the death, it stipulates the time for each team to hold on and the number of enemies killed, if one of the two meets the standard set by him, you can withdraw to receive the top and silver reward." ”

Li Yunzhong asked with a smile: "Where are you from Chaozhou?" ”

Li Fu was confused, and replied truthfully: "The villain's family lives in Chaozhou City, and the biggest rice shop in the city is opened by the villain's house!" ”

The largest meter row! It seems that this person is still of some use, Li Yunzhong frightened: "Do you want to die or live?" ”

Li Fu kowtowed again and shouted: "The adults spare their lives, the adults spare their lives, and the small ones will never dare to do it again...... Adults should be treated as small farts and let the villain go once! ”

Li Yunzhong seemed to be playing with an ant and said, "Since you want to live, I will let you go back to the city." ”

Li Fu was surprised and delighted, and thanked: "The villain thanks the adult, the villain will pray for the adult to live a long life, live a long life, and have many children and grandchildren......"

Li Yunzhong waved his hand to make him stop, revealing his true face: "After you go back, tell the leaders of the defenders everywhere in the city, as long as you don't resist, surrender, and revolt anyway, our Han army will be treated favorably, if anyone dares to stop and kill our Han army soldiers, after breaking the city, I will not only kill them all, but also find their families and behead them all over the house!" ”

Li Fu was stunned for a moment, and cried: "Adult, this is the life of the villain, if Zhang Junmen knows the way, the small one is not enough to cut off nine heads!" ”

Zuo Zongtang said with a smile: "Then do you want to die here immediately, or do you want to go back to the city to fight, as long as you can persuade the defenders in the city to give up resistance, His Royal Highness the King of Han will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Li Fu looked at Zuo Zongtang and pointed at Li Yunzhong, and stammered and asked, "Your Excellency is Li Yunzhong, the king of Han?" Hearing the affirmative reply, he kowtowed and said: "The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please spare his life!" ”

Li Yunzhong promised: "As long as you can persuade the defenders to surrender, I will promote you to a fourth-grade official and become a Chaozhou prefect, what do you think!" ”

The prefect of Chaozhou! Li Fu's mind was booming, he was a well-known gentleman in Chaozhou, his father Li Wancai had no choice but to donate money to him for a group training errand, and he was transferred to Fujian in a daze, and then transferred from Fujian to Zhejiang, his biggest wish was to eat and wait for death, I didn't expect him to have a developed day, if I became the prefect, my father must be happy to die! With this belief, Li Fuyi gritted his teeth and said: "The little one has agreed to this errand, I hope His Royal Highness the King of Han can keep his promise!" ”

Li Yunzhong said solemnly: "Don't worry, Hangzhou, the Qing army will have no troops available in Fujian and Guangdong, and it will be easy to capture Guangzhou. ”

Hangzhou prefect! Li Fu was stunned by this big cake that fell from the sky, and immediately said loudly after sobering up: "Please Your Highness promise to give some benefits to the soldiers in the city, and the villain can persuade them to surrender." ”

Li Yunzhong thought for a moment and said: "I will not blame all the soldiers who surrendered, guarantee their lives and property, those who have merit can be awarded official positions, and those who capture Zhang Guoliang alive will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold!" If there are soldiers who want to surrender, they will put a white flag around the garrison for our army to identify. ”

Li Fu was already thinking in his heart about who could persuade him to surrender and who would have to get rid of him......

Li Yunzhong said: "You can go back to the city, if you dare to deceive me, he will break Chaozhou one day, and the Han army will raze the largest rice row in the city." ”

Zuo Zongtang waited for Li Fu to leave, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this trick is clever to use the way of others to return the other person!" Zhang Guoliang will be captured alive in this battle! ”

Li Yunzhong said: "Suspend the siege of the city today, let Li Fu, this kid move, and early tomorrow morning, the whole army will take the regiment as a unit and forcibly attack from everywhere, and be sure to annihilate the Qing army in Hangzhou City!" ”

Li Chunfa commanded: "The last general will order the front army to withdraw." ”

"After the capture of Hangzhou, I will return to Nanjing, and all the matters related to the southern expedition will be handed over to Mr. Zuo, and I hope that Mr. Zuo will not shirk!" Li Yunzhong's expectations for Zuo Zongtang are still very deep.

Zuo Zongtang was not sad or happy, and said solemnly: "Wechen will do his best to be loyal to His Highness, Wechen's teacher Mr. Lin Zexu served as the governor of Liangjiang, so Wechen still has contact with many official gentry, and the southward attack on Guangzhou will be smooth, please rest assured." ”

Li Yunzhong was satisfied with his forehead, and said to the generals: "If you follow Mr. Zuo's order as I do, those who dare to slack off will be punished heavily!" ”

How dare the generals refute, and replied in unison: "Obey!" ”

Feng Zicai came to the palace in a hurry, and found Zhang Guoliang to report: "My lord is really like a god, like Zhuge Kongming reincarnated, and the short hair really retreated to the city wall to defend it!" ”

Prediction is one thing, confirmation is another, Zhang Guoliang completely relaxed, took a few deep breaths, and said: "Inform the generals that as long as they persist for half a month, Shorthair will inevitably withdraw from the army, and then the court will reward everyone!" ”

Feng Zicai asked: "How do you know that the short hair is afraid of death, and they have been degraded, they suffered less than 2,000 casualties in one afternoon, while our army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, which is twice as many as theirs!" ”

Looking at Feng Zicai, who humbly sought advice, Zhao Guoliang had the intention to cultivate him, and explained: "This point is summarized from dozens of battles between me and the puppet Han King Li Yunzhong, Li Yunzhong likes to take tricks, cherishes his soldiers, and attacks Changsha, Yueyang, Wuchang, Nanjing and other big cities, all of which use the method of blasting the city wall to break the city, otherwise he will immediately lead the troops to retreat, and never fight hard with our army, this is different from Changmao, you must remember it in the future!" ”

Feng Zicai suddenly realized, and blurted out: "I said that when I broke in Changsha City, Shorthair had the upper hand, but instead led troops north, it turned out that I was afraid of fighting with our army in the streets." ”

Hearing that Feng Zicai had the intention of despising Li Yunzhong, Zhang Guoliang admonished: "Li Yunzhong is not afraid of street battles with our army, short-haired and fierce and good at fighting, you also know this, don't be careless." ”

Feng Zicai laughed at Li Yunzhong and said: "Li thief is really stupid, elite soldiers are born in a hundred battles, like the Yue family army and the Qi family army, only after experiencing the baptism of bloody battles, the soldiers can win a hundred battles, and there is a strong army in ancient and modern times that is raised by avoiding wars like him." ”
