Chapter 279: The Wish of the Nation to Surrender

Just when the Qing army was dispatched, Huang Xu also learned these two good news at the same time, first, the Taiping army led by Guo Potian has captured Xinyang and is besieging Zhumadian, and second, the Qing court has strictly dealt with Zeng Guofan and has written the entire military camp, which is really not ordinary good news for Huang Xu.

Huang Xu felt that the opportunity had come, and he wanted to take advantage of this east wind to persuade Zeng Guofan to return to the kingdom of heaven.

In Zeng Guofan's big tent, Zeng Guofan is pouring ink to pass the boring time. These days, although he was served with good food and drink, and moved freely, he always felt that this was not his place, that it was not the place where he should be, and that he wanted to "go home." Finish.

Seeing that Zeng Guofan was writing hard, Huang Xu was inconvenient to disturb, so he stood aside and waited.

"Marshal Huang, wait a minute, this marshal will finish the words in his hand first, and then come to talk to you." Zeng Guofan knew that it was Huang Xu who came, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

"Zeng Dashuai, don't worry, you are busy first, I can wait." Huang Xu hurriedly said.

With that, he found a place to sit down.

Huang Xu didn't wait long, Zeng Guofan finished the work in his hand, he put down the pen, stamped his personal seal on the work, and took this masterpiece in his hand and carefully studied it for a while, then carefully put it away and put it away, when he did this, he showed a subtle smile on his face, it seems that he is very satisfied with his words.

"Marshal Huang, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Zeng Guofan finished doing this, and then he and Huang Xu were guilty.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, the person who should be daoqian should be me, it's me who disturbed the handsome Yaxing" Huang Xu said again and again.

"Marshal Huang is here today, I don't know what to do with this marshal?" Zeng Guofan said with a smile, he didn't think that Huang Xu was looking for him to chat.

"How do you know that I must be looking for something with you?" Huang Xu also said with a smile.

"Marshal Huang came here in the past, if he saw that Marshal was in love with Xiucai, he would definitely have a heated discussion with Marshal Ben, but when you came today, you didn't see such a thing, and it seemed that he was preoccupied, so Marshal Huang judged that there must be something wrong with Marshal Huang." Zeng Guofan stroked the beard under his chin, a little proud.

"Da Shuai is really like a torch, or I can see it for you, you are right, Huang Xu is here today, and he does have something to tell Da Shuai." Huang Xu stretched out his thumb to Zeng Guofan and said.

"Something to do with me?" Zeng Guofan was stunned.

"Yes, Sir, look at this." Huang Xu took out an announcement and handed it to Zeng Guofan.

"What's the matter, it's so mysterious." Zeng Guofan muttered as he reached out and took the announcement in Huang Xu's hand.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, when Zeng Guofan read the announcement in his hand, I saw that his face changed greatly, and the hand holding the announcement shook slightly, Huang Xu could see that Zeng Guofan's mood fluctuated greatly.

"Marshal Huang, where did you get this announcement?" Zeng Guofan didn't look up, and said in a low tone.

"Dashuai, do you doubt the authenticity of this announcement?" HUANG Xudao.

"Marshal Huang, don't get me wrong, Ben Shuai just wants to confirm what he thinks in his heart." Zeng Guofan raised his head, his face was sad, and his voice was a little choked.

Huang Xu seemed to see tears flashing in Zeng Guofan's eyes, he didn't expect that this matter would touch Zeng Guofan so much.

"Dashuai, I'm sorry, this is indeed a fact, now the entire Hefei City knows, and, presumably, it won't be long before the entire Qing Dynasty will know about it, I didn't expect Xianfeng to be so ruthless, and I don't think about Dashuai's past merits at all." Huang Xu sighed.

That's right, this announcement is about the Qing court's strict handling of Zeng Guofan.

"The emperor wants to do this to me, but I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty." Zeng Guofan looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I don't have to guess this, I know, it must be the ghost behind the villain Seng Lingqin, the most hateful thing is that we actually let the guy escape, I knew that this was the case, at that time, I killed a hundred with a knife, and today's incident would not have happened" Huang Xu pretended to be remorseful.

"Marshal Huang, you can't blame others for this matter, you can only blame Ben Shuai himself, Ben Shuai should not steal his life, he should have committed suicide to martyr the country, otherwise, there would not be such a result today, Ben Shuai is reaping the consequences." Zeng Guofan lost his soul and said authentically.

"Dashuai, how can you be blamed for this matter, the open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, if you want to blame, then you can only blame the Qing court for too many villains, villains act, generally do not talk too much reason, they do everything, such as Monk Greenqin, you care about the feelings of your colleagues, persuade my subordinates to be merciful, but he not only does not accept this love, but in turn he wants to put you to death, so, the heart of the villain, it is impossible to prevent." Huang Xu was moved and said.

"However, if the emperor is not gullible, then how can he make such a decision, thinking that I was a national domain, working hard, dedicated to the country, and loyal, but I didn't want to get such a result, my heart really hurts." Zeng Guofan's most unrelieved thing is Xianfeng's approach.

"Yes, Dashuai, you are too benevolent, you think about others in everything, let others in everything, but others don't think like this, they are pressing step by step, wanting to put you to death. Please forgive Huang Xu for being disrespectful, such a court, such an emperor, according to Huang Xu, it is okay if he is not loyal." Huang Xu took the opportunity to fan the flames and tried to stir up the anger hidden in Zeng Guofan's heart.

When Zeng Guofan heard Huang Xu's words, he lowered his head and was silent. It seems that Huang Xu provoked the most pain in his heart.

"Dashuai, the Qing Dynasty has no eyes, they will definitely regret doing this." Huang Xu pretended to hate and hate.

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Zeng Guofan shook his head and said boringly.

"Dashuai, don't worry too much, according to Huang Xu, it is not all bad for you for the Qing court to do this." What Huang Xu wants is to take this opportunity to slowly guide Zeng Guofan to his own direction of thinking.

"Ben Shuai doesn't understand what you mean." Zeng Guofan's mind was blank, and he didn't know what Huang Xu was talking about.

"You think, the east is not high, the west is bright, you are not left here, there is a place for you, it is gold, you can shine anywhere, such as a talent like you, we can't invite you if you want to, but the Qing court doesn't know how to cherish it, it's really eye-catching, if you don't dislike it, I still want to bring up the old things again." Huang Xu said sincerely.

"Ha, ha, gold? You should say it's dung, right, Ben Shuai has today, and he is also to blame." Zeng Guofan's laughter was extremely desolate.

Yes, it's right to think about it, Zeng Guofan is dedicated to the country and loyal, in the Taiping military camp for so long, Huang Xu and others tried their best to get better than him, but he was unmoved, he still wanted to go back, go back to serve his emperor, his Qing Dynasty, but his loyalty was exchanged for the ignorance of others, and even severe punishment, which made him unbearable.

"Dashuai, don't blame yourself, the more you are like this, the happier the Qing court may be, they just want you to be like this, because only in this way can they feel relieved, and only when you, the roadblocker, are gone, they can do whatever they want." Huang Xu continued to add oil and vinegar to the authentic.

"By the way, what you said, Ben Shuai remembered something, if the monk Gelinqin no longer cares about Ben Shuai, then the Hunan Chu army will be in danger." Zeng Guofan was taken aback, and suddenly said.

Zeng Guofan was temporarily blinded by anger just now, and he had no intention of scrutinizing it carefully, but now he suddenly thought of his second army of Hunan and Chu, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Marshal, please be relieved, there are still many places where the Qing court relies on the second army of Hunan and Chu, and it will not do anything to them for the time being, but after a long time, it is difficult to say, you must also know that some people in the Qing court, such as Seng Greenqin, have always regarded you as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and they don't want to get rid of you all the time, and now, they finally seized the opportunity to exclude you from the center of power, the next step, presumably he has to deal with the Hunan army established by your own hands, and if the Hunan army is not eliminated for a day, they must be unable to sleep and eat." Huang Xu's words are true, and it can be said to be in a word.

Zeng Guofan also understood that Huang Xu's words were true, he was there before, although the imperial court had some ideas, but he didn't dare to really take the Xiang army, but now that he is gone, the imperial court will definitely regard them as a threat, and will definitely try their best to deal with them, Zeng Guofan thought of this, and broke out in a cold sweat again. He himself suffered some grievances, it was just one person, it didn't matter, but if the entire Hunan army was implicated by this, then he would not agree to anything, he would fight hard for everything, no matter what the cost was.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Huang Xu, and he stopped talking, as if he had something to say.

"Dashuai, if there is anything useful to get Huang Xu, you can just say it." HUANG Xudao.

Huang Xu knew that he had touched Zeng Guofan's sore spot, and Zeng Guofan would definitely react, he expected that Zeng Guofan could ignore his reputation and even his life, but he would definitely not ignore the safety of the entire Hunan army.

"Marshal Huang, if this marshal is willing to return to the kingdom of heaven, then can you guarantee the safety of the Hunan army." Zeng Guofan is abruptly authentic.

Looking at Zeng Guofan's face, you can clearly feel how painful he felt when he said this, yes, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the belief that Zeng Guofan has always adhered to, but now he wants to violate this creed, the reality is really cruel.

"Dashuai, you are really willing to return to the heavens....country." Hearing this, Huang Xu thought that he had heard it wrong, he was a little incoherent.

"Yes, but I have conditions." Zeng Guofan said calmly.

Although Huang Xu knew that Zeng Guofan was forced to surrender out of desperation, Huang Xu didn't care about this, all he wanted was Zeng Guofan's surrender, so when he heard this, he was still overjoyed, and he said without hesitation: "What conditions, you say, we can agree to any conditions."

"Don't talk so much, maybe my conditions will be harsh." Zeng Guofan's name for himself has also begun to change, and he has begun to stop calling himself Ben Shuai.

"Dashuai, you can say it, no matter how difficult it is, Huang Xu will definitely find a way to do it for you." Finally, he managed to get Zeng Guofan willing to return to the kingdom of heaven, and he said that he couldn't let such an opportunity slip away.

"I have three conditions, and if you can do it, I will surrender immediately." Zeng Guofan looked at Huang Xu's eyes and said.

"Speak." Huang Xu said eagerly.

"First, you must find a way to ensure the safety of the Hunan army." The reason why Zeng Guofan was willing to submit was mostly for the sake of the Hunan army.

"Of course, since we are a family with Dashuai, the brothers of the Hunan army are also the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, and we will definitely do our duty to treat our own soldiers, please rest assured." Huang Xu assured.

Huang Xu said this, Zeng Guofan has no doubt, he believes that Huang Xu can do it.

"I'm not sure whether all the soldiers of the Hunan army are willing to join the Taiping army, so my second condition is that you can let those soldiers of the Hunan army who are unwilling to return to the kingdom of heaven." Zeng Guofan's first and second articles are all about the Hunan army, which shows the status of the Hunan army in his mind.

"Of course, for those who are not willing to serve in the army in the kingdom of heaven, we will give them enough entanglements to leave." Huang Xu doesn't think it's a problem.

"Marshal Huang is refreshing enough." Zeng Guofan nodded approvingly.

"What about the third condition?" In Huang Xu's opinion, the first two conditions are not conditions, they are all things that can be done, but he doesn't believe that the conditions behind Zeng Guofan will be so simple.

"I will descend upon you, and not on heaven." Zeng Guofan firmly said.

"Does it make a difference?" Huang Xu was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, you know, I am so firmly loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but Zuihou was ruthlessly abandoned, so, I don't want to put my fate in the hands of those unknown people, as the so-called, women are those who please themselves, and those who know that they die, I only believe you Marshal Huang alone." Zeng Guofan seems to be scared by Xianfeng's gang.

"This ...... The stakes are so high that I need to ask the Heavenly King for advice." Zeng Guofan's condition made Huang Xu a little difficult.

If Huang Xu agreed to Zeng Guofan's request without scruples, then where would he put Hong Xiuquan and Guo Potian. Doesn't that mean that he, Huang Xu, wants to support the army and respect himself, this is a big taboo, he must obtain Hong Xiuquan's consent, and dispel Hong Xiuquan's scruples.

"I understand, I can wait for you." Zeng Guofandao.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best." HUANG Xudao. (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 ......)
