Chapter 269: Hunting
The hunt for Monk Lingqin was quickly formulated, and after that, all Huang Xu and Dongfang Bufu had to do was to adjust their state and wait for the best time to act.
Fortunately, this day did not make them wait too long, the opportunity finally came, in a dark and windy night, Huang Xu and Dongfang Bufu quietly left the Taiping army camp, the two of them performed light skills, and rushed in the direction of Hefei City.
Arrived at Hefei City, they first hid in the dark, carefully observed the surrounding environment, at this time it was the time when the two classes of soldiers on the city gate tower changed the guard, the defense was slightly relaxed, they were waiting for this time, said that it was late, that time was fast, the two of them jumped up, like light smoke drifting by, by the cover of the night, sneaked into Hefei City.
In accordance with the pre-established deployment, they sneaked to the place where Monk Greenqin stayed, and after safely entering the mansion where Monk Greenqin temporarily lived, they divided into two routes, one was Huang Xu was in charge, he would carry out the ultimate hunting mission, and Dongfang Bufu was in charge, the main task was to seize the commanding heights, cooperate with and cover Huang Xu's actions.
Thanks to their thorough preparation, they arrived safely at the intended location and lurked.
And what is their target of hunting, Monk Greenqin, doing now? Of course, no matter what he was doing, he must not have imagined that unknown risks were creeping upon him.
Monk Lingqin has been really upset for the past two days.
First of all, the rectification of the Hunan army is not going well, most of the Hunan army generals are against him, basically unwilling to cooperate with his work, let alone obey his command, if the war breaks out at this time, he really has no confidence that he can hold this Hefei city. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang is a good person, since the first day he was ordered to take over the Hunan army, Li Hongzhang has been busy for him, and has done his best to help him get familiar with the situation of the Hunan army, which also makes Seng Lingqin grateful, and he relies on Li Hongzhang very much, and regards Li Hongzhang as a confidant.
But who can predict Li Hongzhang's true thoughts?
Secondly, the excerpt given by Monk Lingqin to Xianfeng also had a result, Xianfeng meant that he could not kill Zeng Guofan for the time being, not only could he not kill, but he also had to try his best to rescue him. It seems that the emperor must have been bewitched by the old bastard Prince Gong, otherwise, the emperor should not be so magnanimous to Zeng Guofan. He really couldn't figure it out, he was also a member of the royal family, and this Prince Gong Weishenme was so different from his own view of Zeng Guofan. Monk Grinqin thought.
zuihou, Guo Potian is storming Xinyang, Xinyang guards have been coming for a few days, hoping that Seng Greenqin can send troops to support, if there are no reinforcements, Xinyang will be lost, but Monk Greenqin is now difficult to protect himself, how can there be reinforcements to send. In the final analysis, this is all caused by the Hunan army of Laoshizi, if they willingly obey their command, then do they still need to worry so much, do they still need to be in such a dilemma, it is really fucking Xiangjun, Monk Greenqin scolded secretly in his heart.
However, scolding and scolding, these things still have to be dealt with by his monk Grinqin, and he feels a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, in addition to these bad things, there is also a little bit of good news, that is, the Shence Army has arrived, and he is confident that he can command this new army freely, and with this reliance, he can be regarded as having a certain amount of confidence.
After the arrival of the Shence Army, Seng Lingqin initially considered the Shence Army.
His overall impression of this new army is not bad, the quality of this group of soldiers is already good, and there are no bad habits, plus Guo Wenbing trained them well, so this Shence army has a lot to do.
He believed that as long as he practiced a little more, over time, this Shence army should not be worse than Zeng Guofan's Hunan army. He made up his mind that in this battle of Hefei, he must make good use of this new army, if he can use the line, the Shence army can rely on this battle to prestige, which can not only make the Shence army famous in a war, worth a hundred times, but also make him the temporary coach more famous, if that time comes, even if Zeng Guofan is fortunate to return safely, he will no longer be able to compete with himself.
What a great idea for Monk Greenqin to fight.
Trouble is trouble, but it has to be solved one by one, no, all day today, Monk Lingqin was almost discussing with the generals how to send troops to rescue Xinyang, which army to send to support Xinyang, this is the top priority that cannot be avoided.
Wuchang has fallen, and if you lose your trust again, it will not only make it impossible to counterattack Wuchang, but it is more likely to make the entire battle situation turn sharply and make a mess out of control. But after discussing for a long time, everyone couldn't come up with a result, zuihou, someone actually proposed, let the Shence army go, of course Seng Lingqin was unwilling, the Shence army was he kept the hole cards of Hefei City, he was not willing to use it easily.
In fact, what he wanted was to let Luo Zenan and Luo Bingzhang lead an army to support, but before he could say anything, Luo Zenan had already refused, on the grounds that his troops and horses still needed to be trained and could not go into battle.
This situation made Seng Lingqin embarrassed and angry, and when he arrived at Zuihou, he couldn't bear it, so he could only leave with his sleeves up, and threw a group of generals there to look at each other.
After leaving the council office, Monk Lingqin returned to his lodging place under the protection of the personal guards, but he did not immediately return to his room, but stopped in the garden outside, and he first walked slowly around the path in the garden, and slowly calmed down his agitated mood.
He thought that since Xianfeng had handed over the heavy responsibility of this front line to himself, he would do a good job of this errand in public and private, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and he encountered a bunch of thorns, which made him helpless, and if he continued to suffer from internal friction like this, they would have been defeated without waiting for the Taiping army to attack. At this critical time of survival, he has to exhaust himself to come up with a good way to solve the current dilemma.
He found a place to sit down in the garden, and he wanted to think seriously about how he should go from here.
He thought about it and couldn't get the point, because the crux of the matter was that if he couldn't complete the training of the Hunan army in a short period of time, so that it could fight in coordination with the Shence army, everything he said would be empty words, because he would not be able to lead the Shence army alone to resist the attack of the Taiping army.
Do you really have to rescue Zeng Guofan first in order to reverse the current situation?
Speaking of rescuing Zeng Guofan, Monk Lingqin is also angry. Those generals of the Hunan army kept saying in their ears every day that they wanted him to send troops to rescue Zeng Guofan, and when he arrived in Zuihou, it seemed that his monk Gelinqin was deliberately stopping them and preventing them from rescuing Zeng Guofan, which was simply unreasonable.
It seems that this Hunan army has really become Zeng Guofan's private army, which is not a good thing for the Qing Dynasty. If this Zeng Guofan has a different heart, the country will be finished, he is worried, but there is nothing to do.
Monk Lingqin sat outside until the meal time, he entered the restaurant to eat, after the meal, he made another pot of tea, tasted it slowly, and drank the tea. He began to give instructions on military emergencies again, until Zuihou felt really tired, so he stretched his waist and prepared to rest.
With steady steps, he made his way slowly towards his room, followed by two of his own guards.
When he reached the door, he ordered his soldiers to guard the door, and he pushed the door into the room.
Maybe he didn't know. Right here, in this room, Huang Xu is waiting for an opportunity, ready to give him a fatal blow anytime and anywhere.
As soon as Monk Lingqin walked into the room, he felt uneasy in his heart. He was the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty, outstanding in martial arts, and had been in the field for a long time, killing countless people, and killing raised his perception of danger to a very high level. He immediately sensed the danger, but he couldn't tell where it was coming from, and he wanted to exit the room, but he felt that there was no way out.
He was secretly on guard and quickly judged the possible source of danger.
Huang Xu saw Monk Lingqin's every move very clearly in the dark, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, he was waiting for the opportunity, a most haode time to make a move, he wanted to ensure that he could hit with one blow.
Time was passing, but the battle between the two in the dark was not over, Monk Lingqin did not dare to move casually, nor did he dare to shout loudly, he was afraid that once he did this, he would break the current offensive and defensive posture, so that the enemy hiding in the shadows would have an opportunity, so that he would be in danger.
The sweat had already soaked all of Monk Greenqin's clothes, and even his underwear was not spared, but he still stood still, observing everything around him attentively, he hoped that this enemy hidden in the shadows could not help but strike first, then he would have a chance to escape.
To tell the truth, since his debut, many years have passed, and no opponent has ever brought him so much pressure, making him feel like he has collapsed, and the opponent is still hiding in the shadows, and what is exerted on him is still an invisible pressure, if the opponent is face to face with him, he still has the confidence to fight, but the opponent is in the dark. He had the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake, like a thorn in the back, and a sense of fear couldn't help but rise in his heart, he was afraid.
Huang Xu was still motionless, but the perception wave he released had already filled the entire room, even with his eyes closed, Huang Xu could clearly feel every move in the room, and every cell in Monk Greenqin's body was clearly probed by Huang Xu's super perception wave, Huang Xu could even feel the movement in Monk Greenqin's heart, and he understood that Monk Greenqin was afraid. This is exactly what he wants to see, he suddenly has a feeling of cat and mouse, this person is the same, no matter how strong he is, he is made of flesh and blood, and he knows that he is afraid.
A few hours have passed, the confrontation is still ongoing, although the two still maintain the same posture, but it is obvious that it can be seen that Monk Greenqin's physical exertion is quite serious, in this way, even if Huang Xu does not make a move, he may not be able to support Zuihou. So, will a miracle happen?
Of course, the miracle did not happen, but the accident happened.
The two of them were in a standoff when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Lord, have you slept?" It turned out that it was the guard outside the door who knocked on the door.
"Not yet, what's the matter?" Monk Grinqin knew the opportunity had come.
"Your soothing soup is ready, will it be brought in for you now?" The guard outside the door.
"This king is a little uncomfortable, so I won't drink the soothing soup." Monk Greenqin Road.
His words contained two meanings, one was to prevent the guards from entering his room unexpectedly, so as to calm Huang Xu's heart hiding in the shadows, so as not to cause a violent attack, and second, to tell the guards that he was in trouble. If the guard had been clever enough, he would have done something, but it turned out to be a disappointment for Monk Greenqin.
"Yes, Lord Wang." The guards outside the door probably thought that Monk Lingqin was going to sleep, so they didn't ask anything more.
Seeing that the guards outside the door did not comprehend their true meaning, Monk Greenqin couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart.
It seems that he can only survive to the end on his own. (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. That's what motivates me the most......)
