Chapter 254: Breaking the Sky and Descending

Zeng Guohua followed the instructions of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang and got in touch with Guo Potian, and things went unexpectedly smoothly, Guo Potian had no opinion on the time and place of the meeting proposed by Zeng Guohua, and he also thanked Zeng Guohua for making this happen, and he even expressed high respect for Zeng Guohua on behalf of the peace-loving people of the whole Chinese nation, and so on.

After Zeng Guohua heard this, he was complacent, he felt that he had done a good job.

The day of the meeting finally came, on this day, the Qing army camp was heavily guarded, just after breakfast time, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang was already waiting for Guo Potian in the big tent, which shows that they attach great importance to this matter.

As soon as the appointed time arrived, Guo Potian walked into the conference hall accompanied by Zeng Guohua, in addition to Zeng Guohua, there were also Guo Potian's two personal guards, and in addition, there was no one else, it seems that this Guo Potian is also full of sincerity.

"General Guo, admire, admire, you are going to the meeting alone." When Li Hongzhang saw Guo Potian coming in, he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said with a smile.

Guo Potian has been fighting with the Qing army for a long time, and he is extremely familiar with the generals and commanders of the Qing army, and these leaders in the Qing army are no strangers to him Guo Potian, it can be said that they are old acquaintances of each other, even if some people have not been in contact with each other face-to-face, but at least the respect of the two sides, everyone has seen it. Therefore, Li Hongzhang didn't need to introduce himself, so he directly joked with Guo Potian.

"Where, where, this is not the Hongmen Banquet, where is the single knife to go to the meeting." Guo Potian is a delicate character, how can he not hear the meaning of Li Hongzhang's words, and return a sentence.

"Yes, yes, General Guo is reasonable, and it is better to be humiliated." Li Hongzhang bowed to Guo Potian and said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, look at you, aren't you tormenting me, how dare I be worshiped like this by the great Confucians of the world, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be." Guo Potian hurriedly said.

"General, you can afford it, and your humble position is to worship you on behalf of the people of the world, thank you for your livelihood for the people of the world and take the initiative to extend the hand of this peace talks." Li Hongzhang's words are reasonable and sincere.

"Mr. Gaoyi, I have broken the sky, I just do what I have to do, and I should do my best for the people of the world." GUO Potiandao.

"Okay, you two, you don't let each other go around, please come and sit here, let's sit and talk." Zeng Guofan, who had been watching coldly, spoke up.

"Come, come, General Guo, I will introduce you to the humble position." Li Hongzhang took advantage of the situation and said.

"Guo Potian has seen Zeng Dashuai." Before Li Hongzhang could exit, Guo Potian had already revealed Zeng Guofan's identity in one word.

"Ha, ha, General Guo is really good-looking, and he is really the first person in the Taiping Army today." Zeng Guofan hahadaxiao, only then stood up and hugged Guo Potian with a fist.

It stands to reason that when the two commanders meet, they should be on an equal footing, but Zeng Guofan has to sit and wait for Guo Potian to come to salute, which is not clear whether it means that he, the commander of the Qing army, is a step higher than the commander of the Taiping army, thinking about it further, he, the commander of the Qing Dynasty, is here to accept the surrender of you, the commander of the Taiping Army, it seems that Zeng Guofan's deliberate posture is to let Guo Potian understand what his position is and how he views today's peace talks.

Guo Potian knew it in his heart, he smiled faintly, and he had his own plans in his heart.

"The great handsome prestige is spread all over the world, although Potian has never met Dashuai, but he has admired it for a long time, and Datian dares to say, who else in this world can make people close to him submit like Dashuai. Therefore, this is not a good look, but the majesty of the handsome people can be seen at a glance." Guo Potian said with a smile.

"Listening to General Guo's words, the general is secretly scolding Ben Shuai for putting up a fight in front of you." Zeng Guofan said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the handsome man misunderstood, and he sincerely admires the handsome." When he spoke, Guo Potian kept staring at Zeng Guofan's eyes with his eyes, Guo Potian's eyes were not domineering, nor did he grovel, some were just neither humble nor arrogant.

"Ha, ha, General Guo's name is well deserved, his name is well deserved, please sit down, please sit down." Zeng Guofan daxiao for a while, respectfully invited Guo Potian to sit down.

"Marshal, please, Marshal, please." Guo Potianqian gave in and sat down in the position that Zeng Guofan had prepared for himself in advance, and the two guards stood close to his back and stood on both sides.

"Ben Shuai listened to Guohua say that General Guo came here this time mainly for the sake of peace, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Zeng Guofan asked knowingly.

"Exactly, this time I came to see Dashuai to discuss this matter with Dashuai." Guo Potian also did not hide the purpose of his visit.

"I'd like to hear from the general." Zeng Guofandao.

"Brother Guohua must have conveyed the meaning of Potian to Da Shuai, so Po Tian came in person this time just to show his determination, and as for the specific details, it is up to Da Shuai to decide." GUO Potiandao.

"Okay, it's refreshing enough, but if this commander doesn't plan to make peace with you, what should you do, you have to think clearly, this is the camp of my Qing army, not the territory of your Taiping army." Zeng Guofan suddenly said sharply.

"Handsome..."Zeng Guohua next to him didn't know why Zeng Guofan suddenly turned his face, and he couldn't help but change color, he just wanted to say something and persuade him.

"Shut up, there's no room for you to talk here." Zeng Guofan scolded.

Zeng Guohua looked at Guo Potian, and then at Zeng Guofan, for a while, there was nothing to say.

"Ha, ha, ha, Dashuai is so sure, today is the end of the day?" Guo Potian was also daxiao for a while, and said.

"Yes, I'm afraid you can't come today, but you can't go." Zeng Guofan sneered.

"It's really a feast." Guo Potian looked at Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan, sighed, and said such a sentence.

"What's the matter, General Guo, you just obediently let your Taiping army disarm and surrender, otherwise, you don't blame Ben Shuai for turning his face and not recognizing people." Zeng Guofan said sharply.

"Da Shuai has already turned his face and doesn't recognize people, I don't know how Da Shuai's face will be turned over." Guo Potian sneered.

"Presumptuous, have you spoken to the marshal like this, don't forget, this is the Qing army camp." Li Hongzhang shouted.

"Okay, okay, put away your set, tell you clearly, Lao Tzu dares to come today, you won't be afraid, what means do you have to greet Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu frowns, Lao Tzu is not Guo Potian, and Lao Tzu doesn't think you have the ability to make Lao Tzu arrested." Guo Potian was also angry.

"Come on, give this thief to Ben Shuai..." Zeng Guofan was halfway through the call, and suddenly stopped, he looked at Guo Potian with a smile on his face a little stunned, and didn't know what was going on.

"What's the matter, Dashuai, I've already said it, you don't have that ability yet." Guo Potian smiled and said.

"It turns out that General Guo has already left a back hand, no wonder he is so fearless." Li Hongzhang sighed.

"People don't hurt the tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts, leave one hand in everything, you can't be wrong, you say yes, handsome." Guo Potian teased.

"You..."Zeng Guofan was speechless for a moment.

"Dashuai, Potian came today, I was kind enough to discuss big things with you, but you gave Potian such a hand, which is really disappointing for Potian, it seems that this peace talks are hopeless." Guo Potian sighed and said.

"Ha, ha, ha, General Guo is worthy of the true character of a hero, brave and strategic, when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation, and he was able to cooperate with General Guo, and this commander was fortunate to have three lives." Zeng Guofan said daxiao a few times again, and said these words.

"Oh, so to speak, the big handsome is tempting to break the sky." Guo Potian said movingly.

"That's right, this marshal is doing this to test whether General Guo really has the sincerity of the peace talks, or whether he has ill intentions, now it seems that General Guo really has a bodhisattva heart, good, good, Ben Shuai believes in you." Zeng Guofan said happily.

"I see, Dashuai, I offended just now, Qingfeng, Mingyue, you quickly let go of Zeng Dashuai, Mr. Li, Brother Guohua." After Guo Potian heard this, he was overjoyed and was busy saying to his two subordinates.

What's going on, it turned out that Zeng Guofan deliberately pretended to be a wicked person in order to test Guo Potian, and wanted to take down Guo Potian, who knew that Guo Potian's two personal guards were strong in martial arts, and they restrained Zeng Guofan and others with lightning speed, which Zeng Guofan and others did not expect, and Zeng Guofan saw that his goal had been achieved, so he told the truth of the matter, and then, it was the scene that happened just now.

"General Guo, your two personal guards are really amazing, according to Ben Shuai, with them, even if Ben Shuai mobilizes the army, he can't trap you." Zeng Guofan glanced at the two guards and said with a smile.

"The handsome man has won the award, they just learned some crop tricks that are not seen in the world, so that the handsome man can laugh." Guo Potian said modestly.

"Okay, General Guo, since the doubts are gone, then we should be more honest with each other, let me tell you the truth, although this commander is the commander of the Qing army, but he does not have the right to marry with the enemy generals, but this commander can assure you that as long as you stand with us, this commander will definitely protect you and your soldiers The life is safe and the future is immeasurable." Zeng Guofandao.

"Xie Dashuai believes in the last general so much." Guo Potian has changed himself to the last general, and it seems that he is really going to throw himself into the Qing court.

Zeng Guofan heard Guo Potian call him the last general, and his heart was even more happy, and then he made a promise to Guo Potian.

"Marshal, you may also know that the current commander of the Taiping Army, in addition to the last general, there is another person, this person is a close confidant of the king of heaven, and for a while, the last general has nothing to do with him, so if the last general wants to lead the army back, he may have to find a way to deal with this person and his group of cronies." Guo Potian talked about his difficulties.

"Well, how do you need us to cooperate?" Zeng Guofandao.

"The last general hasn't come up with any good solutions for the time being, if you need the cooperation of the marshal at that time, come and ask the marshal for help." GUO Potiandao.

"Okay, I hope you will lead the crowd back as soon as possible and participate in the grand event with Ben Shuai." Zeng Guofandao.

"Then the general is here to thank Dashuai, Xie Dashuai regardless of his past suspicions, magnanimously take in us wanderers who have left home." GUO Potiandao.

"Breaking the sky, look at you, everyone is a family, if you don't say these two words, if you have any problems in the future, just tell Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai is a definition that cannot be shirked." Zeng Guofan is arrogant and authentic.

"Xie Dashuai." GUO Potiandao.

"Okay, it's not too early today, you go back first, so as not to make others suspicious, if you have anything, you can contact Guohua directly in the future." Zeng Guofandao.

"Yes, Marshal, the last will retire." Guo Potian withdrew. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
