The generals came up one by one to toast Huang Xu and Zeng Guofan, and after Zeng Guofan drank a few glasses, he was already overwhelmed by the wine, so he went down early to rest.

But Huang Xu is different, he is not only not refused, but others give him a cup, he has to return three cups, after drinking three cups, if there are still those who are not happy, then replace the small cup with a large bowl, drink enough until it is refreshing. After a few years of going back and forth, anyone who wants to compete with Huang Xu and fight for a winner or loser, the most difficult result is that he is drunk like mud, and Huang Xu is like a person who has nothing to do, his face does not change, his heart does not beat, and the feeling is not ordinarily good.

Huang Xu has the stunt of moving heaven and earth, and using this skill to move the wine out of his body, for him, it is not a piece of cake. Therefore, everyone is drunk, and I am sober, this is the truth.

This drink, drunk until late, after the most lucrative, everyone said goodbye to Huang Xu, each using his own means, shouldering his hand, and returning to each place.

For a period of time, both physically and mentally, everyone has been under great pressure, and through this meal, everyone has completely relaxed and slept a lot more peacefully.

When I wake up, it's a new day and a new beginning.

In the following period, the original Hunan Chu army officially entered a state of rest, according to Huang Xu's requirements, they will carry out the necessary personnel replenishment, reorganization, and then with a new image, and then go on the road again. The specific arrangement should be made by Zeng Guofan.

In addition, Huang Xu also made new adjustment arrangements for the army according to the overall plan of the two-way attack.

And the deployment of the two-way army is like this.

Along the way, the original Hunan Chu Army and the newly returned Bao Ping'an and Cui Min's troops formed the New Taiping Army, and then converged with the Lu Qingtian troops who stayed on the front line of Wuchang, with a total of 400,000 people, controlled by Zeng Guofan, towards the Zhumadian line, attacking and advancing.

On the second road, Huang Xu led the main force of the original Taiping Army plus some follow-up supplements, a total of 400,000 people, along the first line of Hefei to the north, directly to Shuntianfu.

The two armies marched hand in hand, and they agreed to take them together in Langfang and attack Shuntian together.

Huang Xu also ordered that all preparations must be completed within the scheduled time.

After the order was given, the wheels of war were again running at high speed.

Time passed quickly, and the preparations of the army were finally completed, but the time of separation came, and after Zeng Guofan led the army to bid farewell to Huang Xu, he went straight to Xinyang.

After Zeng Guofan left, Huang Xu also found Yao Dahong, and he wanted to study with Dahong what they should do along the way and next.

"Da Hong, is there any change in the Qing army?" Huang Xu asked.

"Since retreating to Xuzhou, the Qing army has stopped, no longer retreating, comprehensive intelligence analysis from all aspects, the Qing army should be planning to settle in Xuzhou, sniper our army advance." Yao Dahong, the intelligence director, is becoming more and more competent, and he and Liu Yuhua, one of whom is in charge and the other is outside, have done the intelligence work impressively, and Huang Xu is very satisfied.

"Is the message reliable?" HUANG Xudao.

"Infallible." Yao Dahong's words are not ambiguous at all.

"Very well, so we can gather our forces." Huang Xu said happily.

"That's right, it's time to strike." Yao Dahong was also very happy.

"Then what are we waiting for, Da Hong, order people to beat drums and gather generals, and prepare to attack." Huang Xu shouted categorically.

"Yes." Yao Dahong withdrew.

After a while, everyone gathered in Huang Xu's tent.

Huang Xu told the generals about the general situation, and the generals were happy when they heard that there was going to be a war, they had been bored for a long time, the last battle of Hefei, except for Duan Yihu and Yu Yilong, who followed Zeng Guofan, the shadow of the other people's battles was not met, which suffocated everyone, no, as soon as Huang Xu said that there was a war, these generals were like little wolf cubs waiting to be fed, screaming.

Huang Xu was very happy to see that the crowd was enthusiastic. To fight, you have to rely on one breath, the qi is there, the momentum is there, if the momentum is strong, then the chance of winning the battle is great, how can Huang Xu not be happy.

"Marshal, the last general is willing to be the vanguard." The person who asked for his life was Duan Yihu.

The last time Duan Yihu was a pioneer, he tasted the sweetness, and as soon as Huang Xu said that he wanted to fight, he jumped out to be a pioneer again.

"General Duan, you were the pioneer last time, this time, you should also let go, I think, this time it's better for me to come. Marshal, the last general, please be the vanguard." Another person came out of the train, and shouted loudly.

Huang Xu looked at the person who came, it turned out to be Yang Yiqing.

"General Yang, I asked for my life first, how can you fight with me, Marshal, this vanguard should be done in the future." How could Duan Yihu give up the position of pioneer so easily, of course he was not happy.

"Marshal, let's go." Li Yiqing also did not give in.

The two of you said a word, and I said a word, and they quarreled in the tent.

"Alright." Huang Xu shouted.

This is too unreasonable, when he Huang Xu is air, it really makes sense.

As soon as the two heard Huang Xu's voice, and saw that Huang Xu's face seemed to be unkind, they couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly hugged their fists, not daring to fight anymore.

"Fight, why don't you fight, or, in this way, Ben Shuai will be a referee for you, you will compare in this tent to see who is more powerful, then Ben Shuai will decide which of you to go, how about it?" Huang Xu's anger did not subside, and his words were sarcastic.

When the two of them heard this, they didn't dare to speak out.

"Marshal, please calm your anger, according to your subordinates, General Duan has already contributed last time, and this time it is better for General Yang to go. What does the marshal think?" At this time, it is always Zhao Xiaofeng who comes out to save the scene, and this time is no exception.

Huang Xu's face softened slightly, and he glared at the two people below respectively before he spoke: "Duan Yihu, what do you think of Mr. Zhao's proposal?"

"Obey the orders of the marshal." Duan Yihu lowered his head and replied.

"Fart, Ben Shuai is asking you, what is Mr. Zhao's proposal, but you said to obey the marshal's order, Ben Shuai asked you, does Ben Shuai have an order for you?" Huang Xu was angry when he heard this.

"No...... No, it didn't...... No, Marshal, the last general was wrong, and the last general felt that Mr. Zhao's words were very reasonable." Duan Yihu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said.

'Do you have an opinion?' Huang Xu asked again.

"No......no..."Duan Yihu said in a hurry.

"Yes, or no, you make it clear to Ben Shuai." Huang Xu shouted again.

"Nope." Duan Yihu still dares to say half a word.

"Okay, this is what you said, no one forced you, everyone here can testify, you remember, don't play false with Ben Shuai, after this time, if you dare to spread resentment behind your back, then don't blame Ben Shuai for being polite." Huang Xu still has to tighten him, he doesn't want this tiger to make a moth after the fact.

"Marshal rest assured, the last general will not dare." Huang Xu's words have all been said about this, how dare Duan Yihu have any more ideas.

"Okay, you go down first." Huang Xu waved his hand and asked Duan Yihu to retreat first.

"Yes, Marshal." Duan Yihu obediently retreated into the train.

"General Yang Yiqing, come forward and listen to the order." Huang Xu shouted.

"Yes, Marshal." Yang Yiqing's waist was straight, and he said loudly.

Yang Yiqing thought that since the marshal entrusted him with the errand of the vanguard, he trusted him, and he must do a good job, so as to be worthy of the marshal's trust.

Huang Xu nodded, and then said: "This commander ordered you to be the vanguard, command 30,000 horses, open roads in the mountains, and stack bridges in the water, there must be no mistakes."

"Ordered." Li Yiqing received the order.

"Okay, good, you go get ready first." HUANG Xudao.

Yang Yiqing received the order and withdrew from the account to prepare.

Huang Xu watched Yang Yiqing out of the account, then retracted his gaze, turned to Zhao Xiaofeng, and nodded to him, Zhao Xiaofeng understood.

Zhao Xiaofeng cleared his throat, looked at the generals, and said: "This time the army is going out, you must be in good spirits, don't embarrass our Taiping army."

All should be, yes.

Then, Zhao Xiaofeng announced the specific arrangements for the expedition.

Yang Yiqing is the vanguard, that is needless to say, the left-wing leading general is Zhu Yidian, the right-wing leading general is Fu Zhongxin, Li Xiucheng, Huang Xu, Zhao Xiaofeng is in charge of the Chinese army, Yao Dahong and other five brothers are with Huang Xu as staff officers, Yu Yilong is the merger, Duan Yihu supervises the transportation of grain and grass.

The assignment has been decided, and everyone is ready separately.

Choose a good day and an auspicious day, and the army sacrifice flag is raised.
