Chapter 389: The Fierce General Returns to His Heart
The voice behind them made Zuo Zongtang and the four of them sound a little familiar, and they all looked towards the place where the voice came from, wanting to see who was disturbing their hearing and hearing, but they didn't think that it was Huang Xu, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang who came into their eyes.
"Why are you again?" Zuo Zongtang looked at the three of them one by one, and finally stopped his gaze on Huang Xu's face, and then, he said to Huang Xu in a very cold tone.
"I'm here to see Brother Zuo, but Brother Zuo is not welcome?" Huang Xu clenched his fists slightly and smiled at Zuo Zongtang.
"What's the matter if you're welcome, what's wrong with not being welcome?" Zuo Zongtang is still cold and authentic.
Zuo Zongtang's posture is completely like wanting to reject people thousands of miles away, it seems that Huang Xu is very unpopular here in Zuo Zongtang.
"Brother Zuo, as the saying goes, everyone who comes to the door is a guest, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, can Brother Zuo give me a face, let's have a good talk, how about it?" Huang Xu was not angry, let alone ready to retreat, he still smiled.
Zuo Zongtang snorted coldly, turned his face to the side, and did not answer, but Hu Si'er next to him shouted: "Hey, what's the matter with you, my handsome family doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, what are you still grinding here, let's go quickly, save us from seeing each other."
"Si'er, Hugh is rude, although we are not fellow travelers with them, but the basic etiquette is indispensable, don't teach people to underestimate us." Zuo Zongtang shouted.
Zuo Zongtang has a deep mustard for Huang Xu, he protects himself closely, quite a bit of a needle can't be inserted, the water can't be splashed, and Huang Xu is a bit of a hedgehog, unable to bite the anxiety, fortunately, with him also Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, these two people and Zuo Zongtang and others are not an ordinary relationship, Zuo Zongtang is no matter how arrogant, no matter how bad his attitude is, he will never be disrespectful to his teacher and the best classmates.
In this case, Zeng Guofan stepped forward to save Huang Xu and round the field for Zuo Zongtang. It makes sense.
"San'er, why are you doing this?" Zeng Guofan sighed and said.
"Teacher, everyone has their own ambitions, and I hope you don't force students to make choices that they are not willing to make." Zuo Zongtang saw that Zeng Guofan had spoken, his face changed, and then he shook his head and said slowly.
"San'er, the teacher is also good for you." Li Hongzhang said on the side.
Zuo Zongtang looked at Li Hongzhang and said proudly: "Of course I know the teacher's hard work, but, Shaoquan, you and I are familiar with each other, and we have known each other for more than ten years, you should know my Zuo Zongtang's character, I would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, I will only be loyal to the emperor, not to others."
Hearing this, Zuo Zongtang was determined to be a loyal minister of the Qing court.
"Brother Zuo, Xianfeng and the Qing court have regarded you as a rebel, and it is impossible for you to go back." Huang Xu continued to talk.
Zuo Zongtang is bent on illuminating the moon, but he knows that the bright moon is shining on the dung pit, so when he heard Huang Xu's words, he was also slightly stunned.
"You are talking nonsense, I don't believe it, I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty, how can the emperor abandon me, you don't lie here to confuse the public." Zuo Zongtang said angrily.
"San'er, what Marshal Huang said is true, the Qing court has included you in the must-kill list, intending to get rid of you quickly, strictly speaking, this is still for the teacher to burden you, after the teacher returned to the kingdom of heaven, the Qing court was furious, and regarded all the people related to the teacher as rebels, regardless of whether they were indiscriminate, so I am afraid that you really can't return to the Qing court." Zeng Guofan sighed and continued.
Zuo Zongtang saw that Zeng Guofan said cautiously, and understood that this matter must be true, so he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, and then, he said in a firm tone: "Born as a person in the Qing Dynasty, died as a ghost in the Qing Dynasty, teacher, I would rather be responsible for the Qing Dynasty, and I will never be responsible for the court."
"You ......" Zeng Guofan said.
He really didn't understand, why did this Zuo Zongtang have a dead brain.
"Forget it, Dashuai, like this kind of stubborn, stubborn diehard, let him go, you and I came here to persuade him, it can be regarded as doing our best, as for what he thinks, it's his own business, forget it, forget it, I think we'd better go, if Brother Zuo is determined to be loyal to a court of kings and eight who are involved with foreigners, betray their ancestors, sell their souls, and betray the nation, then what else do we have to say, that's it, that's it." Huang Xu glanced at Zuo Zongtang and said angrily.
He dragged Zeng Guofan's hand and made a gesture to leave.
Of course Huang Xu didn't really want to leave, his intention was very clear, then he wanted to provoke Zuo Zongtang, he was convinced that Zuo Zongtang was a tough guy with integrity, backbone, and general knowledge, if he was indifferent to the collusion between Xianfeng and foreigners, then it could only be said that Huang Xu was wrong about him, if this was the case, then it would be meaningless for Huang Xu to waste time on him.
"Wait, what do you say?" Zuo Zongtang exclaimed.
Zuo Zongtang thought he had misheard.
"The Qing court colluded with foreigners to kill their own compatriots." Huang Xu said word by word.
"Fart, you fart, no, absolutely not, the emperor is wise and wise, and he sees thousands of miles, besides, Prince Gong and the Iron Hat King are all people of insight, how can they collude with foreigners, you must be mistaken, or rather, you are framing." Zuo Zongtang really couldn't take love, he shouted.
Actually, Zuo Zongtang really believed it in his heart, which is why he had such a big reaction after hearing about it.
"San'er, Marshal Huang is right, this qiē is true." Zeng Guofan confirmed on the side.
Zuo Zongtang can not believe Huang Xu, but can he not believe Zeng Guofan's words, Zeng Guofan said yes, it must be convinced. Zuo Zongtang suddenly felt his head dizzy, and spun around, if it wasn't for Hu Si'er seeing that the momentum was not right, he grabbed him first, maybe he would have fallen to the ground.
How can this be, how can this be, Zuo Zongtang can't figure it out, the dignified Qing Dynasty, the Heavenly Empire, how can he grovel to foreigners, isn't this setting himself on fire, is the Qing Dynasty really exhausted? My Qing Dynasty, my emperor~
Zuo Zongtang's heart fluctuated at this time, and deep in his heart was like breaking all kinds of flavorings, and all kinds of thoughts kept coming to his heart.
Huang Xu and the other three looked at Zuo Zongtang, but they didn't make a sound, they were waiting, waiting for Zuo Zongtang to come to his senses and make the right decision.
"Teacher, the students still don't know anything, this, this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a thief, it seems that you are so far-sighted, a person with both ability and political integrity, how can you succumb to them, teachers, disciples are stupid, and I hope that the teacher will not hesitate to teach." Zuo Zongtang froze and looked at Zeng Guofan a little blankly.
It can be seen that the collusion between the Qing people and the Qing court has really touched Zuo Zongtang too much.
"San'er, I won't tell you the truth, when I started as a teacher, I had the same idea as you, but thanks to Marshal Huang's mistake, I allowed the teacher to experience it in the Taiping Army, and after hearing and seeing, the teacher finally figured out one thing, that is, the hope of China is in the kingdom of heaven, and only the kingdom of heaven can save my China and lead my China to prosperity." Zeng Guofan raised his voice and said, in the end, there was a bit of generosity and urgency in it.
Including Zuo Zongtang, after listening to Zeng Guofan's words, several people present immediately felt that the blood in their bodies that had been dormant for a long time began to show a hint of awakening.
"Teacher, is it really as good as you say?" Zuo Zongtang glanced at Huang Xu, who was smiling silently beside him, and still couldn't ask Zeng Guofan in doubt.
"Okay, don't you know if you give it a try?" Zeng Guofan smiled slightly, and seduced him.
Zuo Zongtang was silent.
Seeing that Zuo Zongtang didn't speak, Huang Xu and Zeng Guofan both understood that their words worked, and Zuo Zongtang's ice-like heart began to melt slowly, presumably it won't be long before the once extremely fiery heart will come back.
"But, teacher, we have been fighting with them for many years, and we don't know how many people we have killed each other, can we really turn war into friendship?" Zuo Zongtang said in a skeptical tone.
He still doesn't believe that the Taiping Army can really let go of their past grudges and turn their enemies into comrades.
"Others, the teacher didn't dare to say it, but Marshal Huang, the teacher dared to guarantee the ticket." Zeng Guofan is very sure of authenticity.
Zuo Zongtang heard and saw from Zeng Guofan's words and Zeng Guofan's face that Zeng Guofan's trust in Huang Xu was not ordinary, he didn't know, and he had never seen it, his teacher Zeng Guofan had such an unusual trust in who he had in the past, that is a kind of trust that can entrust his life, is this Huang Xu really so good, why do people like teachers trust him so unreservedly.
Zuo Zongtang was a little puzzled.
He looked at Huang Xu, still coldly said, "Are you so good, even the teacher trusts you so much."
Zuo Zongtang's words can be described as very direct.
"San'er ......," Zeng Guofan shouted.
He felt that Zuo Zongtang was a little too rude, but Huang Xu waved his hand, feeling that it was not in the way, so he restrained him from saying.
"It's good, I don't dare to say, but I dare to say that as long as I am a sincere friend of Huang Xu, I Huang Xu will be sincere, treat him sincerely, treat friends, relatives, comrades-in-arms, I Huang Xu has nothing, only a full sincerity." Huang Xu was moved.
His voice was not loud, but every word, like the beautiful sound of the piano, gently plucked the hearts of everyone present, so that everyone in addition to the physical and mental pleasure, but also gave birth to a sense of confidant.
"San'er, frankly speaking, the biggest and only reason for returning to heaven for the teacher is Marshal Huang, as the saying goes, the one who is a confidant dies, and between me and Marshal Huang, the word confidant can be a confidant." Zeng Guofan is emotionally authentic.
"Well, that's a good point, handsome, you really said what I wanted to say." Huang Xu said excitedly.
Zeng Guofan turned his head sideways and looked at Huang Xu, Huang Xu also nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Zuo Zongtang looked at the two, his face slowly began to change, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he felt that this feeling had been lost for too long.
"San'er, return to obedience, you can try it first in the army, if you feel unsatisfactory, the teacher believes that Marshal Huang will not embarrass you, let you come and go freely." Zeng Guofandao.
That's good enough.
"Since the marshal has said so, then I will give you another promise, you can be like the marshal, and only be loyal to me for the time being, how about it?" HUANG Xudao.
Huang Xu gave this promise, it can be said that he took a lot of risks, in the kingdom of heaven, although he can be regarded as under one person, above ten thousand people, and boundless power, but no matter what, the supreme ruler of the kingdom of heaven is Hong Xiuquan, if Huang Xu lets a person only be loyal to him, and not to Hong Xiuquan, it is not equivalent to saying that he wants to work against Hong Xiuquan, saying that a little bigger, it is a rebellion, and saying a little smaller, it is also a big disrespect, so Huang Xu is willing to make such a promise and guarantee, which is really commendable.
"Master Pony, this may not be good." Zeng Guofandao.
He is well aware of the subtleties of this relationship, so he is also a little worried about Huang Xu.
"If you can get the help of Brother Zuo, what is it?" Huang Xu smiled.
Huang Xu has already given a big gift, so it depends on Zuo Zongtang.
Several pairs of eyes were all staring at Zuo Zongtang's body at once.
"That's it, that's it, if Zong Tang doesn't surrender again, then there will be a lot of enthusiasm for Marshal Huang, Marshal Huang, thank you for not giving up, Zong Tang is willing to return to heaven." Zuo Zongtang knelt on one knee, clenched his hands into fists, and said to Huang Xu.
"Good! Good!" Huang Xu praised a few times in his mouth, and then hurriedly took a few steps forward, supported Zuo Zongtang's arm with both hands, pulled him up from the ground, and then patted Zuo Zongtang's shoulder heavily, laughing.
With the help of the warriors, how could Huang Xu not be happy in his heart.
Zuo Zongtang has surrendered. Then the other three will be easy to do, after the persuasion of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, coupled with Huang Xu's assurance, the three of them naturally returned to the kingdom of heaven.
