"Report, Your Highness, the battle report from the front." Chen Yucheng took the two battle reports and handed them to Li Yunzhong.

Li Yunzhong opened the first copy and read: "On April 21, our department arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou officials fled one after another, our second army occupied Yangzhou City without blood, on April 23, the Qing army Qishan led the army to attack, lost the enemy, and retreated to Jiangdu County, on April 24, Li Shixian took over Chuzhou, and the headquarters of the Seventh Army retreated to Shucheng. ”

Zuo Zongtang said happily: "Okay, I didn't expect the Second Army to successfully capture Yangzhou, and let Qishan occupy it one step later." ”

Li Yunzhong smiled and took out the second battle report, and continued to read: "On April 23, the Fifth Army arrived at Zhenjiang by boat, and fought fiercely for half a day, the governor of Jiangsu led the officials of all sizes to flee to the Jiangnan camp, and on April 25, our army captured Danyang and Changzhou, and Zhang Guoliang led 5,000 people to garrison Wuxi. ”

Zuo Zongtang said disappointedly: "I didn't expect that the Qing court did not transfer troops from Jiangxi, but from the Jiangnan battalion to help the front line of Suzhou. ”

Li Yunzhong put down the battle report and said ruthlessly: "You can continue to let the Fifth Army attack Suzhou and Wuxi, and if Xiang Rong continues to transfer troops to Suzhou, then I will first set foot in the Jiangnan camp." ”

Li Yunzhong turned his head to look at Zuo Zongtang again, and said a little embarrassed: "Sir...... Do you have any students or friends in Hunan, summon them to Nanjing, and I can entrust them with important tasks, and they will know themselves and their opponents when dealing with Zeng Guofan in the future. ”

Zuo Zongtang thought about it, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they don't want to come to Nanjing." ”

Li Yunzhong was even more embarrassed, and whispered: "You can write a letter...... That one...... Trick them into coming over and getting together, at most...... We're going to try to persuade them. ”

Zuo Zongtang didn't expect Li Yunzhong to be so shameless, and hesitated: "This ...... Didn't I hurt them? ”

Li Yunzhong shook his head and waved his hand, and promised: "I will never hurt their lives, just let them get to know the Han again, if they refuse to serve me, I will not embarrass them, and give them full freedom, I will pay the passage expenses if they are willing to go back, and if they are not willing to go back, I will entrust them with a heavy responsibility." ”

Zuo Zongtang sighed and said: "I'll be a villain once, and when I go back, I'll write a letter to them, and trouble King Han to send someone to them." ”

After Li Yunzhong waited for Zuo Zongtang to go out, he followed him behind with a ghostly mind, made sure that he left the palace, and hurriedly said to the little follower Chen Yucheng: "Yucheng, you go and call Jiao Liang over, by the way, ask him to bring someone who is familiar with Hunan over." ”

After a while, Jiao Liang came to the palace with a young man in his twenties and said to Li Yunzhong: "Your Highness, this person is my younger brother, named Jiao Jing, who is very familiar with the situation in Hunan. ”

Li Yunzhong said to Jiao Jing: "I will send you to Hunan to do things later, this matter is very important, and it has been done with a lot of rewards, and it has been done badly...... You don't have to come back. ”

Jiao Jing said nervously: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the villain will definitely do his best to serve His Highness." ”

Li Yunzhong saw that he was nervous, and said: "Don't panic, although this matter is important, but it is very simple, that is, let you go to Hunan to tie up a few people and come back, I will give you a list later, and you will visit me one by one according to the people on the list, whether they want to come to Nanjing or not, you will tie them up, by the way, and their families, I will send a naval army and the Seventh Army to meet them at the border of Anhui, your heaven and earth will be deeply rooted in the two lakes, this little thing will not be difficult for you, right?" ”

Jiao Liang and Jiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and secretly complained that His Highness was scaring people, and the sesame mung bean was so serious, and they thought that they were going to send Jiao Jing to Hunan to rebel, Jiao Jing hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, there are still many people in the Hunan Heaven and Earth Association who want to come to the King of Han, so if this matter is their name, I think they will definitely handle things properly." ”

Li Yunzhong said with satisfaction: "Well, I hope so, this matter is done, and I will reward you heavily." ”

Jiao Jing thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, my subordinates will retire." ”

Jiao Liang saw that his younger brother had already gone out, and smiled at Li Yunzhong: "I heard that His Royal Highness has not yet married a family?" ”

Li Yunzhong said inexplicably: "Your news is really well-informed, I just ordered to go down to prepare for the wedding, and you will know the truth." ”

Jiao Liang was afraid that King Han would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said honestly: "Don't hide it, my wife and sister admire His Royal Highness King Han very much, of course, I also hope to marry His Royal Highness, I don't know what His Highness wants." ”

Li Yunzhong remembered Xu Yuexiang's pretty appearance, his heart was moved, and he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I already plan to marry Sanniang and Xuanjiao together, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to marry Ling Mei again."

When Jiao Liang heard that there was a door, he said bewildermently: "It is common for a husband to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention you, King Han!" Yuexiang won't mind, besides, Su Sanniang and Hong Xuanjiao are both widows...... I know the righteousness and will never oppose it. Seeing that Li Yunzhong's face was wrong, Jiao Liang hurriedly changed his evaluation of the two, and secretly thought: It seems that His Royal Highness is not interested in their qualifications, but has a deep affection for them, it seems that he has to persuade Yuexiang to get along well when he goes back.

Li Yunzhong thought: This is a political marriage, fortunately the marriage is Xu Yuexiang's little pretty girl, if it is the eldest lady who is wrapped in her little feet and rubbing zombie powder, wouldn't I want to sleep with a "zombie", I don't know if she will bite me.

"Well, since Yuexiang doesn't dislike it, let's do the wedding together, but Sanniang still has to bother Mrs. Ling to dredge it...... Ha Lu Ha ......"

Jiao Liang said: "No problem, I don't know when His Highness will set the wedding?" Jiao Liang shook his head in his heart, he didn't expect His Highness to be so afraid of guilt, it seems that he will not be able to get the most Su Sanniang and Hong Xuanjiao in the future.

Li Yunzhong had already thought about it, and said directly: "It's May 1st, many people will get married on this day." ”

Not to mention that Jiao Liang returned to his residence with excitement and instructed Xu Yuegui to go to Su Sanniang to talk about it, but saw Zuo Zongtang holding a thick stack of letters and handing them to Li Yunzhong, and said: "The above four letters are very important, they are very talented, they have tried and failed, and they have resentment against the imperial court, so they can be recruited for their own use." ”

Li Yunzhong talked to Zuo Zongtang about business again, and handed over all the letters in his hand to Jiao Jing.

Nanjing originally had more than 600,000 residents, and before Li Yunzhong led the army to attack the city, tens of thousands of people fled, plus the people brought by the Han army from Hubei, there are now 700,000 people, most of whom live outside the city.

On May 1st, Nanjing City was full of festive atmosphere, the people heard that the King of Han was going to get married today, many people were in front of their own homes to paste red cloth ribbons, happy words or something, drummers puffed out their cheeks and blew suona vigorously, and the welcoming team carried eight sedan chairs from the palace to the residence of several women, followed by 100 female guards with knives. After picking up the brides and getting on the sedan chair, they deliberately went around from the lively neighborhood a few times, and it took two more hours to arrive at the palace.

Li Yunzhong was at the gate of the palace, looking at it, and stomping his feet back and forth in a hurry, whoever waited outside for four hours would be depressed. The sedan chair rushed to the palace, and the firecrackers sounded as if they didn't cost money.

Looking at the three dressed beauties, the crimson cheongsam was close to the skin, and the head was also covered with a red hijab like TV, Li Yunzhong held Sanniang's arm, Hong Xuanjiao and Xu Yuexiang each had a pair of bridesmaids on the left and a right to support, and several people walked towards the lobby.
