Chapter 153: Li Yuandu's Loss

"Most of the inhabitants covered their houses, and most of them were covered with white tiles. Two or three in the mountains, such as under the new snow. When Guo Songtao first arrived in Wanzai County, he couldn't help but chant poetry.

Liu Tai, the county commander of Wanzai County, complimented: "The general is so talented, this poem is not only neat but also sentence in accordance with the situation, worthy of being a Jinshi, the Qing Dynasty should be able to have a few more Confucian generals like the general, how can it tolerate the rampant short hair." ”

Guo Songtao's face was slightly red, and he immediately caught a glimpse of the master on the side pursing his lips and smiling, and explained to Liu Tai, the county magistrate: "This poem is the beginning of the Song Dynasty Jiang Zhiqi's travel to Jiangxi, seeing the scenery of Shanggao and Wanzai counties in northwest Jiangxi, and recording local customs. There is also the same view of this will be the inspector Tao Shijin, the former Ming Dynasty Wanli period of the county of the impression of Wanzai is: the Wabai family seems to be with frost, Mao firewood water wine village township. It can be seen that Wanzai County is indeed different, but it is a pity that this place is going to encounter war. ”

Liu Tai flattered: "The general is compassionate and compassionate, but it's a pity that the short-haired man is not interested and doesn't understand the general's thoughts, otherwise he would have left in shame." ”

This Liu Tai was also uncomfortable, as soon as he cleaned up Peng Shouxi, who had a harmonious relationship with the Hunan army, the Han army came to attack, and he ran to the Hunan army camp for help in embarrassment, and waited for a few months before persuading Guo Songtao to recover Wanzai County.

Since going all the way, Guo Songtao has seen no less than seven colleges, and he can't help but sigh: "This Wanzai County has a prosperous literary style, and the scale of the academy is more than enough than that of Xiangxiang area!" Your county is not useless. ”

Liu Tai explained embarrassedly: "The general doesn't know that the Hakka people and the locals here have been fighting for hundreds of years because of the academy, and the locals have always had the upper hand, and the Hakka people have never been allowed to build the academy. Until a few years ago, Xia Guan saw that they were really making trouble. The Hakka people were allowed to build a college, but the Hakka people were too enthusiastic. In the past few years, four colleges have been built one after another, and the lower officials are also pleased, and finally find a livelihood for the scholars, which can not only educate students, but also study to support their families. ”

"My lord, Shorthair has arrived in Shanggao County!" Li Yuandu hurried over, he had a stomach for Guo Songtao, he had followed Zeng Dashuai before, and Guo Songtao's literati temper couldn't be seen. But when he led the troops alone, he traveled everywhere and recited poems, as if the enemy army would be influenced by this, and he retreated.

Guo Songtao then remembered that he still had to fight with Shorthair, and several people immediately returned to the county office. It was found that the battalion officers of the Hunan army were already waiting here.

Li Yuandu saw Guo Songtao looking at him, and immediately got up to introduce the enemy situation to him: "The enemy who came this time is our old opponent Zeng Shuiyuan, this guy is extremely brave, I heard that it is the cousin of the long-haired Zeng Tianyang. It's a pity that Zhiting has been mourned, otherwise it would be a good story to cut Zeng Shuiyuan, cough ...... This short hair is menacing. The preliminary investigation has reached 20,000 people, and the forward has reached Shanggao County. ”

Guo Songtao also has no good way to defend against the enemy. Roughly speaking: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we have been dealing with shorthair all year. Fierce is a little fierce, but they don't see their long three heads and six arms, you don't have to worry, there is no way to do it. ”

Zhu Sunyi had a natural fear of the Han army, he also wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, he didn't want to die in this barren mountain and secluded mountains, so he got up and tested: "The marshal let us resist the enemy army because we don't want Hunan to encounter war, so it is better for us to retreat to Xiangdong, where with the support of the children of Sanxiang, we will definitely be able to repel the short hair." ”

Li Yuandu received a letter from Zeng Guofan during this period of time, which introduced him in detail the experience of fighting and the method of leading troops, and he couldn't help but want to give it a try, how could he allow the army to retreat without a fight, and immediately retorted loudly: "Ridiculous! If you let the short hair set foot on the territory of Hunan, the Jiujiang army will inevitably be disheartened, if this affects the future of the Hunan army, the crime is great, I think that in Yuanzhou Mansion and the short hair war, as long as it drags on for three or five months, the main force of the Hunan army will definitely be able to capture Jiujiang, and then the two armies will be attacked, and it will be easy to recover Nanchang. ”

Zhu Sunyi was weak at first, and then he was furious: "You...... Hum! I, Zhu, have a clear conscience and a clear conscience, since Li Da keeps saying that he is thinking about the future of the Hunan army, I have nothing to say. ”

Guo Songtao persuaded the indignant Zhu Sunyi: "Shi Qian is angry, Wat Ting is also unintentional, everyone works for the Qing Dynasty, and they should be of one heart and one mind, and how can they explain to the Sanxiang fathers and elders if they retreat to Xiangdong without a battle?" What does the handsome think of us? ”

Zhu Sunyi's face was ashamed, and he became more and more resentful of Li Yuandu in his heart, and also complained that Guo Songtao couldn't be a man, and hugged his fists and said: "It's Zhu who didn't think about it well, and hereby apologize to Wat Ting." ”

Li Yuandu smiled confidently: "There are many mountains and hills in Yuanzhou Mansion, and the cannons and muskets that shorthair rely on cannot exert their power, and our Hunan army is different, the soldiers are used to walking and hunting in the mountains, and they are just fighting with shorthair here. ”

Guo Songtao stroked his palms and smiled: "Ha Lu haha, good, Wat Ting talent, listen to your words, I just opened my mouth, this short hair into the mountain is to kill yourself, we follow the road to the mountain, choose its dangerous place to build more camps, reproduce the story of Lu Xun defeating Liu Bei in the past, it will be able to be passed down through the ages." ”

The rest of the Hunan military camp officers also suddenly realized that they were smiling, as if they had already won the battle.

He Zhigou scolded at the camp in front: "This Hunan army camp has been built one after another, and in three days, we have captured seven or eight, what the hell is this Hunan army doing, do they plan to build the camp in Hunan?" ”

Zhou Guoyu was holding the knife on his waist, the cold wind was fierce, his tired forehead was sweating, he reached out and touched the sweat on his head, and replied: "I don't know, the two of us are unlucky, He Lu's kid is enjoying leisurely in Shanggao County, I knew it was like this, Lao Tzu wouldn't have robbed this errand!" ”

"If something goes wrong, it's a demon, so let's be careful." He Zhigou added: "The army commander is still in Shanggao County, do you want to send someone to inform him of the old man, he asked us to capture Yuanzhou Mansion, but the mountains and rivers here are high and deep, and the army can't exert thirty percent of its combat power. ”

Zhou Guoyu nodded and agreed: "There must be many camps in front, this Hunan army will flee every time it is halfway through, it must be to lure our army to be fooled, and when we are not vigilant, they will suddenly kill it. ”

He Zhigou sent people back to report, and led more than 10,000 Han troops to stop in the camp to rest and wait for orders.

When Li Yuandu heard that the Han army had stopped advancing, he angrily asked the scout: "The Han army is not attacking anything, and our army is setting up an ambush in front, is there any news that someone has leaked?" ”

"The villain doesn't know...... I really don't know what to do. The scout was frightened by Li Yuandu's hideous appearance.

Zhu Sunyi said in a weird manner: "You can only deceive the ignorant little thief in this way, Short Hair is not an ordinary thief, if you underestimate the enemy, you will still suffer the loss." ”

Guo Songtao shook his head helplessly: "Order the ambush men and horses to withdraw, I don't think Shorthair will continue to move forward, and send someone to closely monitor Shorthair's movements." ”

"Compliance" (to be continued......)
