This guard, Huang Xu and the three of them were outside for more than an hour, during this time, the three people on the left seemed to disappear suddenly, Huang Xu and the three of them were waiting left and right, but they didn't see the three people on the left come out, and later, they also began to realize that there must be a problem in this, so Tian Xiaoer went in and asked, only to know that the three people on the left had slipped away from the back door, it seems that these guys were prescient, Huang Xu sighed in their hearts. However, the matter has come to this point, although Huang Xu knows that he is busy again, he can only go back first and then find another way.

The three people on the left suddenly disappeared, it must be for a reason, and the words will go back to the three people on the left.

It is said that since Huang Xu and the other three left, only Zuo San and others were left in the private room, and after some discussion, they made special arrangements before leaving.

"Dashuai, according to his subordinates, Huang Si must not be an ordinary person, but it is not clear whether he is a friend or foe." The scribe-like man muttered.

"There is no doubt that he is not an ordinary person, but whether he is a friend or an enemy is the focus of our current attention, to find out whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, this is very important, if it is a friend, the good is great, this person will be a great help to us, the greater his ability, the more beneficial it is to us, but if it is an enemy, it is a headache, and it is a very headache, however, although the headache, but we must find a way to get rid of it, otherwise, this person will definitely bring us unexpected trouble." The third left's eyes flashed.

"Dashuai, is it really as serious as you said, then do you need your subordinates to catch up and ask now, if it is really an enemy, then kill them first." Hu Si'er asked.

"Strategist, what do you think should be done?" The third left did not immediately respond to Hu Si'er's words, but turned his head to the military master and said.

"We are now on the enemy's territory, everything must not be rash, only after the matter is clarified first, can we take action, if we do it rashly before the matter is clear, it will definitely damage our overall plan to come here, so, according to the subordinates, we will retreat today, and then make plans later." The words of the military advisor are very sound.

"The words of the military advisor are very much in line with my wishes, since we are leaving." The third left said to go, and was about to get up and leave.

"Wait, Dashuai." The military advisor said again.

"Strategist, what's wrong?" The third left stopped and stared at the military advisor suspiciously.

"Dashuai, we and the other party are now suspicious of each other, since we are all discussing countermeasures, then the other party will definitely have a plan, if we go out recklessly like this, maybe these people will hide somewhere to peep at us, once our whereabouts are exposed, it will be very difficult to act in the back, so we can't just go out like this." This military division is really not simple.

"Strategist, what are you afraid of, if you have a tail, can't you just solve it directly?" Hu Si'er is also a reckless man.

"No, it's better to do what the military advisor says, and it's better to be careful in everything." The third from the left is cautiously authentic.

"Since the commander agrees, then the subordinates will go and inquire about the other people to see if there are other doors for us to leave, if there is, then we can leave from the other doors, so that we can avoid the other party's tracking." Military Division.

"Okay, Strategist, you can go." The third on the left nodded and said.

The result of the military advisor's listening was that this person who moved Jiangnan really had a back door, so these people slipped out of the back door and avoided Huang Xu and the others who were watching in front, which is why Huang Xu and the others waited for an empty time.

At this point, those who know the true identity of these Zuo San and others must already know it, that's right, they are Zuo Zongtang, the head of the Chu army, Luo Bingzhang, the military advisor, and Hu Si'er, the general.

The reason why these three people came to Anqing Mansion is of course not to play, they came here for two purposes, the first purpose is to establish a secret stronghold in Anqing Mansion, and lay a wedge and a foreshadowing for the future to capture this place again. The offensive and defensive battle of Anqing Mansion that occurred not long ago was unforgettable for both warring parties. In this battle, the Qing army did not win, the most important reason is that the siege time was delayed for too long, which led to the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, Zuihou was defeated, and the reason for the siege time was too long, in addition to the strong city wall of Anqing, the lives of the three armies, the Qing army did not respond in Anqing Mansion is also one of the reasons for the failure, after learning from the pain, Zeng Guofan and others decided to establish a secret stronghold in Anqing Mansion in case of future war. The second purpose is to find a way to rebel or recruit a group of useful talents for the use of the Qing Dynasty, through the previous battles, Zeng Guofan has deeply felt the gap between the Hunan army and the Taiping army led by him in terms of talent reserves.

Originally, Zeng Guofan intended to let Li Hongzhang lead a team of men and horses to carry out this mission, but Zuo Zongtang asked for orders and said that he wanted to lead this mission, Zeng Guofan heard it, of course he was not allowed, for the Qing army, for Zeng Guofan, how important Zuo Zongtang is, how can he be involved in this kind of dangerous place, in case there are three long and two short, then the Chu army will not play, this Chu army can not have an accident, this is the most important capital of the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping army, so Zeng Guofan can not agree to let Zuo Zongtang Hu come.

Zuo Zongtang is easy to talk about and insists on coming, but Zeng Guofan just gritted his teeth and didn't let go, Zuihou was helpless, Zuo Zongtang had to leave a letter, and privately led Luo Bingzhang and Hu Si'er to Anqing, which caused a fait accompli to Zeng Guofan. After Zeng Guofan found out, he could only sigh and let it go, and at the same time, he ordered people to pay attention to the movements in Anqing City at all times, so that if something happened, he could rush to Zuo Zongtang's aid in time.

After Zuo Zongtang and the three arrived in Anqing Mansion, they first found a place to live, and then heard that the most famous restaurant in Anqing Mansion in Jiangnan can make a full banquet of Manchu and Han with good color and flavor, a few people listened, very interested, although these people are well-informed people, but unfortunately they are stationed in the northwest border all the year round, the northwest is a bitter place, they don't have that good fortune to taste this kind of food, now when they hear that there is such a good place, of course they are tempted.

Therefore, without saying a word, Zuo Zongtang took Luo Bingzhang and Hu Si'er to come to this Jiangnan to taste this rare delicacy in the northwest.

Who knows that it is not a coincidence, after eating, when it was time to settle the bill, they remembered that they forgot to bring money, so there was a scene where there was no money to pay the bill earlier, but fortunately, Huang Xu Zuihou appeared and broke the siege.

After Zuo Zongtang and the three of them came out of the Mingdong Jiangnan, they went straight back to the place where they stayed, and the three of them got together for a small meeting to discuss the next move.

"Dashuai, we are not very familiar with this Anqing Mansion, there is no way to determine where the secret stronghold is most appropriate, just now on the way back from Mingdong Jiangnan, I also carefully observed the places passed along the way, but I didn't see any places suitable for building a stronghold, according to me, it is better to find a ready-made place, we will use this inn we live in as a temporary stronghold, and then when we are familiar with this place, we will find a more suitable place to replace it, what does Dashuai think?" Luo Bingzhang said his idea.

"Well, okay, that's it." Zuo Zongtang thought about it and agreed.

As Luo Bingzhang said, they are not familiar with the place now, their eyes are blurred, and they can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and the only impression is the inn where they settled, so they can only use this inn as a contact location for the time being.

If the inn is used as a stronghold, there are also benefits, this place can often hide people's eyes, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, and the inn is a place where fish and eyes are mixed, the characters of the three religions and nine streams are gathered here, no matter what happens, it is very easy to cover up, it is difficult to find out the flaws, it is indeed a good place to kill people and do some unsightly things.

Once you've chosen a base, it's time to start recruiting personnel.

Speaking of the recruitment of this person, the three of them all thought of Huang Xu and others, yes, when they came to this Anqing Mansion, Huang Xu and others were the only people who had intersections with them, and it was normal for them to think of Huang Xu for the first time.

But they also know that this Huang Xu and the others should not be good, if they want to fight their ideas, it should not be a simple matter, but if they don't enter the tiger's den, they will get the tiger, since they want to do one thing well, then it is worth taking a certain risk.

"Marshal, these people are not easy to mess with, if one is not handled well, I am afraid that I will lose my wife and lose my soldiers." Although Luo Bingzhang's words are not auspicious words, they are loyal to the ear, and it is better to take a preventive vaccine than to let it go later.

"Ben Shuai understands the risks, but risks and opportunities coexist, with the opportunity, we can't hesitate, only by moving forward bravely, can we seize the opportunity, there is the possibility of success, but if the opportunity is missed, it is even the opportunity to take the risk will be lost, what do you think, military division?" Zuo Zongtang Road.

"Yes, Dashuai, my subordinates have been taught." Luo Bingzhang said.

"But, Marshal, we don't know where these people come from, how can we find their traces again." Hu Si'er was a little worried.

"Si'er, you don't have to worry about this, Ben Shuai already has a plan, have you noticed that they are very familiar with the little two who are famous in Jiangnan, which shows that they often patronize this Jiangnan, so from tomorrow onwards, we will go to Mingdong Jiangnan on time every day to eat, Ben Shuai thinks, we will definitely meet them again." Zuo Zongtang said with a smile.

"Good idea, handsome, my subordinates admire." Hu Si'er was overjoyed. (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 ......)
