Prince Gong, who was waiting for good news in Hefei, ushered in not a big victory, but the corpse of his confidant general, looking at Guo Wenbing's vivid face, Prince Gong seemed to have aged many years at once, and went straight to the wind and candle in his old age.

It can be seen that Guo Wenbing's death hit him hard.

Originally, Guo Wenbing's plan to him was indeed a good plan, Prince Gong himself thought about the possibility of great success, but he didn't think about it, things were so unexpected, they not only lost the battle, but even Guo Wenbing accompanied his life.

Could it be that the Qing Dynasty's qi is exhausted?

Prince Gong didn't dare to think about it.

After all, Prince Gong is still Prince Gong, he was sad for a while, as usual, handling official business, he arranged a grand ceremony in the army, to pay tribute to Guo Wenbing who dedicated himself to the Qing Dynasty, after the ceremony, he ordered someone to protect Guo Wenbing's coffin back to Beijing for burial, and on the table to Emperor Xianfeng, who was far away in Beijing, explained to him the whole process of this battle, although at this time, for Xianfeng, it is best to report good news and not bad news, but the situation has come to this, Prince Gong has a choice?

After finishing Guo Wenbing's affairs, Prince Gong immediately asked people to invite Monk Greenqin back, Guo Wenbing died, Prince Gong's subordinates had no available generals, Monk Greenqin did not return, then Hefei must not be able to hold, so he had to call Monk Greenqin back.

After the monk Greenqin came back, and Prince Gong finished the ceremony, Prince Gong asked him in detail about his physical condition, after learning that there was no big problem, this only then talked about Guo Wenbing's matter, Monk Greenqin heard that Guo Wenbing had died in the king's affairs, but also surprised, at the same time the heart of grief, he understood, the Qing Dynasty is missing a good general who can fight well.

Guo has always been the most powerful general under Seng Lingqin, and now he has left him, doesn't that mean that he has broken his arm, how can he not grieve, and who can he count on in the future.

"Old monk, mourning, now is not the time to grieve, think about it, what should we do next, I am in chaos, I really can't think of a good way." When the monk Grinqin finished complaining, Prince Gong said.

Yes, defeated again and again, defeated again and again, the most defeated is still defeated, this defeat and defeat, they have gained the upper hand, to hold on to the enemy, and then to fall into the downwind, the most reluctant to the point where they are now slaughtered, Prince Gong is already poor in donkey skills.

"What good way can there be, fight to the end, it's a big deal." Monk Greenqin was too lazy to think about it so much, and Guo Wenbing's death made him feel very unhappy, so the exit was a few hard words.

Isn't it, for Monk Greenqin, if you want to fight, you will fight, where is so much nonsense, he hasn't been afraid of anyone.

"This, of course I know, now there is no way to fight without blood, do the Taiping anti-thieves allow us to fight without blood, but there are also fighting skills, we are fighting with the enemy unprepared like this, what is the difference between that and a human shield, I just think that we also need to add some ingenuity while preparing for war, so that we can support it for a longer time." Prince Gong has his own reasons.

"Then you say, what should I do?" Monk Lingqin glared and said.

Prince Gong waved his hand and said, "Aren't I discussing this with you?"

"Lao Gong, it's better to do this, let's withdraw our troops and return to the Beijing Division, and then concentrate the troops of the whole country to defend the Beijing Division with all our might, and fight the thieves." Monk Greenqin thought about it, his heart lit up, and he said excitedly.

"Withdraw the army and return to Beijing? It doesn't seem to work, but the emperor has ordered us to defend here, and if we don't obey the order, it will be equivalent to the crime of deceiving the king." Prince Gong was taken aback by Monk Greenqin's words, isn't this clearly against the emperor, isn't this looking for death, this road will definitely not work.

For Monk Greenqin, military and fighting are his forte, but strategizing is not his forte, and these have to rely on Prince Gong.

"However, what you say is not entirely unreasonable." After a long while, Prince Gong actually burst out of his mouth with such a sentence.

Hearing Prince Gong's words, Monk Greenqin widened his eyes, gasped, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "You mean, you agree with my opinion and withdraw from the Jingshi?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that you have some point." Prince Gong said.

"Okay, Lao Gong, don't pretend to be a grandson in front of me, that little Jiujiu in your heart, I don't know what to do, if you don't have a little determination, you will say such things, but, you Lao Gong speaks, always have to leave a back hand, not like my old monk, what you want to say, say anything, straight, okay, you just hurry up, whether to withdraw or not, anyway, here are the two of us, the right is to exchange opinions in private." Monk Greenqin pursed his lips and said to Prince Gong.

Monk Greenqin's words are direct enough, as if he is revealing Prince Gong's old bottom, and only he has the guts.

"You old monk, if you don't talk a little, you will die." Prince Gong was really a little angry when he saw that someone dared to expose his old bottom in front of him, which was really unreasonable.

"Hehe, who told you to pretend to be forced, you brought it on yourself, you can't blame me." Monk Greenqin said with a smile.

He showed a dead look that had nothing to do with me, which made Prince Gong angry and helpless.

I'm a ruffian, who am I afraid of, people are angry and hateful when they see it, Prince Gong has seen this kind of talent.

"Okay, old monk, as you said, we really need to seriously consider the matter of retreating back to the Jingshi." Looking at Monk Greenqin's somewhat cynical face, Prince Gong had to be defeated.

"This is like what Lao Gong said, only women are sticky, let's say, when will we withdraw?" Monk Greenqin was really anxious, and before he even skimmed the eight characters, he wanted to get on the sedan chair, but it was too fast.

Prince Gong glanced at him angrily and said, "Is it so easy to retreat?" Let's not talk about reporting to the emperor, let's just say how to arrange these horses under our command, how to evacuate, and how to arrange the Zhumadian road guarded by Feng Zicai? We all need to have a plan for these things before we can talk about retreating, may I ask the prince, are you ready for these things?"

"This, this—" Monk Grinqin had nothing to say.

He really hadn't thought about these questions yet.

"Okay, old monk, you have to eat bite by bite, you can't become a fat man by eating one bite, let's talk about it first, how to report this matter to the emperor." Prince Gong saw that the monk Lingqin had taught him enough, and his tone was a little slower.

This is the most headache for them, report to Xianfeng, this is a big problem!

Let's not talk about whether their idea is reasonable, let's talk about Xianfeng's feelings, he is the emperor, and he has already issued a strict decree to let the two of them stick to Hefei, and now it's okay, and let the dignified emperor dismiss his will in turn, doesn't that let him slap his mouth? Chrysostom Yuyan, words are still heard, where do you let him, the emperor, put his face? Even if the emperor's words are not right, they are right, and the obedient people below must be 100% executed, if you act against his words, isn't that a big ear bracket for him? Isn't that purely looking for death?

Prince Gong didn't want to die, and neither did Monk Greenqin, so they had to find a foolproof strategy, how to save Xianfeng's face, and then do it again, which is really a big problem.

In the end, Prince Gong was scheming, and he came up with a way, which should be successful.

They decided to do so.

The ministers bowed for a hundred times, and knelt down to play His Majesty the Emperor:

Ministers and others in Hefei to resist the enemy for many days, do their best to deal with the enemy, but the enemy is strong and I am weak, although the enemy is very heavy to kill, but they have also lost a lot, now, people's minds are returned, ministers and other worries, if in Hefei for a long time, lest the army's mind change, and according to the current battlefield situation, the ministers estimate, Hefei has been difficult to hold, if our army at this time strength and the thief in this stalemate, that will inevitably lead to the end of annihilation. If the main force of our army is destroyed, the enemy will have nothing to fear, and he will definitely go straight into the army, and the Beijing division will have no soldiers to fight, and the Qing Dynasty will be in danger.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the ministers and others took into account the gains and losses of all parties, and decided to adopt the strategy of clearing the field with strong walls and shrinking the defense, and withdraw the troops back to the Beijing Division, in order to lure the enemy into depth, look for fighters near the Beijing Division, and fight a decisive battle with the enemy, in order to turn the tide of the battle and save the situation.

Looking at the emperor's Mingjian, the ministers look up to the saint.

Minister, Prince Gong Yi Xin, Iron Hat King, Monk Green Qin Xianfeng ten years of winter in Hefei.

After the seal was prepared, Prince Gong and Monk Greenqin sent people to Beijing with an expedited 800 miles.

It was only at this point that Prince Gong and Monk Lingqin breathed a sigh of relief, and what they had to do next was to wait patiently.

After talking about business, the two chatted for a while, Prince Gong casually asked Monk Greenqin about some things about his meditation and recuperation during this time, and Monk Greenqin answered one by one.

After everything that should be said, the two looked at the time, and it was not too early, so they were ready to say goodbye and break up, and each went back to rest.

When the two of them heard this, their hearts trembled, and they had a premonition that something was wrong. (To be continued.)
