Chapter 280: Confirmation of Relationship
After breaking up with Zeng Guofan, Huang Xu immediately reported the relevant situation to Hong Xiuquan.
He explained in detail the causes and consequences of Zeng Guofan's surrender in his recital to Hong Xiuquan, and made detailed notes on the three conditions put forward by Zeng Guofan, especially for Zuihou's request, Huang Xu reiterated his position, he euphemistically expressed that he hoped that Hong Xiuquan could agree to Zeng Guofan's request, of course, he supported this with only one purpose, that is, to encircle Zeng Guofan, a rare talent in the world for the use of heaven, not out of selfishness, at the same time, he also said that if the king of heaven does not agree, That's it.
Anyway, his words are a combination of rigidity and softness, both soft and hard, and Hong Xiuquan is not agreeing, not agreeing, agreeing, the reason is also well known, Hong Xiuquan is worried about Huang Xu's self-respect, although he understands in his heart that his position will still be handed over to Huang Xu in the future, but, one day when he is there, he will definitely have to enjoy his dignity alone, and he doesn't want others to share this unique right with him, but if he doesn't agree, he may lose a rare talent, Losing the opportunity to weaken the Qing court, Huang Xu will definitely be very unhappy, and maybe he will be estranged from him because of this, which is contrary to the general direction of the unity of the monarch and the minister, father and son.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Hong Xiuquan hesitated, he really wanted to find someone to discuss, but who could he trust, since he experienced the matter of the East King and the North King, he was even more unwilling to trust anyone, he calculated and tossed, and still felt that only Huang Xu could be trusted.
zuihou, he can only acquiesce to Huang Xu to accept Zeng Guofan's request, pay attention, it is a tacit acquiescence, as for how to do it, he didn't say, he asked Huang Xu to weigh it himself.
After Huang Xu received Hong Xiuquan's message, he knew very well what was going on, he knew that his father-in-law was playing dumb riddles with him, which meant that he could only do it, not say it, since this was the case, then he Huang Xu could only obey the request of the father-in-law of the Heavenly King and skillfully handle this matter.
In any case, with the acquiescence of the Heavenly King, Huang Xu could clearly and justifiably take Zeng Guofan under his account, but he fulfilled one of his wishes.
After getting everything right, Huang Xu decided to share the good news with Zeng Guofan.
"Dashuai, Heavenly King Bixia has fully agreed to your request, now you can rest assured." Huang Xu happily said to Zeng Guofan.
"Really, so smooth, thank you Marshal Huang for making it complete." Zeng Guofan was a little surprised.
He knew in his heart that this was mostly Huang Xu's credit, so he was full of gratitude to Huang Xu in his heart.
"Dashuai, do you and I need to be so polite, everyone is a family." Huang Xu said with a smile.
"Yes." Zeng Guofan said respectfully.
Now that they have decided to surrender, the relationship between them has changed, in Zeng Guofan's heart, Huang Xu is now his boss, and he has the object of allegiance, so in terms of title, in terms of getting along with each other, he must adapt to the new role, and he must not be sloppy at all.
"Dashuai, look at you, I can't stand your attitude, you are too restrained, although you are now my subordinate in name, but we can still get along with each other as before, I still call you Dashuai, as for you and me, you can call me whatever you want, as long as you like it, and I don't sound so awkward" Huang Xu said.
"Marshal, the rules are unbreakable." Zeng Guofan is stubborn and authentic.
"Rules are dead, people are alive, do you listen to me once?" HUANG Xudao.
"Yes." Zeng Guofan is still well-behaved and authentic.
It's not the first time Huang Xu has encountered such a thing, and Zhao Xiaofeng was like this before.
"Marshal, in this way, you can call me the same as the military staff officer-Mr. Zhao Xiaofeng, in public, you can call me the deputy marshal, in our private, you can call me the concubine, this is always okay." HUANG Xudao.
He knew that if he didn't draw a box, this Zeng Guofan should not dare to cross the line even if he was killed.
"Yes." Zeng Guofandao.
"Marshal, how do you think we should arrange the Xiangchu army?" Since you have become someone's boss, you have to worry about other people's affairs, otherwise, what do people want you to do as a boss?
"The subordinates will get in touch with the generals as soon as possible, find out what they really think in their hearts first, and then study countermeasures." Zeng Guofan thought for a while and said.
"It's okay, know yourself and know your opponent, so that you can win." Huang Xu also agrees with this approach.
"Master Horse, Xiangjun is a subordinate hand founded, the brothers have followed their subordinates for many years, and have established a deep friendship with each other, we are no longer a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, it can be said that we are like brothers, I think, this point, Lord Horse should be very clear." Zeng Guofan is emotionally authentic.
"That's right, Dashuai, I can understand your mood at this moment, because I also have brothers in life and death, by the way, find an opportunity, I will introduce those brothers of life and death of mine to you, and everyone can contact and contact each other." HUANG Xudao.
"Thank you, Master Ma." Zeng Guofan was very happy in his heart, he knew that Huang Xu didn't treat himself as an outsider.
"You go on." HUANG Xudao.
"It is precisely because of this relationship between the Hunan army and his subordinates that on key issues, his subordinates will generally respect their opinions, and his subordinates will not force them to do things they are not willing to do. Zeng Guofan said slowly.
What he meant was that if the Hunan army was willing to submit to the Heavenly Kingdom, it would be good, but if they were not willing to do so, the Zeng Kingdom would not be strong.
"This is natural, the handsome man is really very human, in today's world, there is such a democratic heart, it is really admirable." In this era, how many people can be like Zeng Guofan, willing to use democratic thinking to solve problems, which is quite commendable, Huang Xu was in awe after hearing it.
"It's rare that Master Donny can understand his subordinates like this, and it seems that his subordinates' choices are not wrong." To be praised by Huang Xu like this, Zeng Guofan was very pleased.
"Ha, ha, handsome, I love to hear what you say" Huang Xu said with a smile.
"Master Horse, my subordinate has a request. I hope that the handsome man will be perfected." Zeng Guofandao.
"Say." HUANG Xudao.
"Regarding the matter of the Xiangchu army, please also ask the master of the horse to hand it over to his subordinates." Zeng Guofandao.
"Okay, no problem." Huang Xu is very simple.
"Xiexie." Zeng Guofandao.
"I said, Dashuai, when you are alone with me, you can't say a little less xiexie, or something, why does this sound so rusty, I sincerely hope that we are not only a subordinate relationship, but also a real good friend." Huang Xu was very unimpressed by those polite words.
"That's not quite right, is it?" The more Zeng Guofan came into contact with Huang Xu, the more he felt that Huang Xu had more things that attracted him, in short, he became more and more convinced that he was not following the wrong person, and he was optimistic about Huang Xu's future.
"There's nothing out of place, you say, we're friends." Huang Xu said with a smile.
"Thanks to the horse master for not giving up, it can be regarded as yes." Zeng Guofandao.
"I don't like to hear this, what is it called, it's total, okay, in the future, let's intersect with each other, try to be as simple as possible, don't let those red tape bind us, do whatever you want, can you do whatever you want?" HUANG Xudao.
"Do whatever you want??" Zeng Guofan groaned.
Huang Xu's words were like a magnet, introducing Zeng Guofan to a temporary new world, making Zeng Guofan feel like he was drunk.
"Yes, Dashuai, do whatever you want, for people like me, this is also the highest level of martial arts." HUANG Xudao.
"Master Horse, every new point of view you has never heard of by your subordinates before, and every time your subordinates hear it, they feel that they have benefited a lot, and they can't wait to worship you as a teacher." Zeng Guofan's reverence for Huang Xu is spontaneous.
"Dashuai, what you said is a bit too much, that's what I said, but if you are interested, you can come to me often, and I can learn from you." HUANG Xudao.
"The words of the master of the horse can be said to be on the heart of the national domain, and the national domain is not begging" Zeng Guofan said.
"Well, that's it." Huang Xu said cheerfully.
"Master Horse, in two days, my subordinates want to go back to Fat City." Zeng Guofandao.
"What, are you crazy, now the entire Hefei City regards you as a natural enemy, if you go back, isn't that self-defeating?" Huang Xu was taken aback.
Of course, he couldn't agree to Zeng Guofan going back.
"Master Pony, don't worry, the subordinates are not blatantly going back, the subordinates just want to sneak back to have a look, and by the way, discuss with the military advisors and them to understand the relevant situation." Zeng Guofan knew that Huang Xu's concern was not pretended, but his true feelings were revealed, and he was very moved.
"Can't you go or wait for the situation to settle down a bit?" Huang Xu still felt that it was dangerous.
"Master Ma, the matter of the Hunan army can no longer be delayed, and it will be resolved one day earlier, everyone is at ease, so it is better for the subordinates to go on a trip, besides, even if Seng Greenqin and they find out about their subordinates, there are Hongzhang and they are there, and Monk Greenqin can't take his subordinates." Zeng Guofan still has a lot of confidence in his Hunan brothers.
"Well, it seems that you have made up your mind to go, in that case, I can't stop it, but you have to promise me one condition." HUANG Xudao.
"Please show me the horse." Zeng Guofan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Huang Xu agree.
"I have a brother, named Dongfang Bufu, with a unique skill, unparalleled in the world, if he follows you, even if you encounter danger, with his martial arts, I think you can be safely brought back, and, with him, I am also at ease." Huang Xu said solemnly.
"Then the subordinate will thank the master of the horse first." Zeng Guofandao.
"Okay, when are you going to leave, I'll inform Dongfang." HUANG Xudao.
"It's not early today, I'm going to leave at dawn tomorrow." Zeng Guofandao.
"The target is too big during the day, and it's not very convenient, so you can prepare and go into the city tonight." Huang Xu thought for a while.
"At night? The gates are closed, how to enter the city." Zeng Guofan was puzzled.
"You don't care about that, the mountain people have their own tricks." HUANG Xudao.
Sneaking into the city in the dark is not a piece of cake for Huang Xu. He planned to personally send Zeng Guofan into the city. (To be continued.)
