Chapter 267: The Kingdom of Taiping

The Qing camp was in full swing, and something was happening in the Taiping barracks.

Just after Huang Xu captured Zeng Guofan and brought it back to the camp, Huang Xu was not idle, he tried his best to entertain Zeng Guofan with the most courtesy, Huang Xu's purpose in doing all this was to let Zeng Guofan understand that he was not captured by the Taiping Army, but invited.

In fact, all this he did was not without objections, for example, Li Xiucheng, he had proposed to Huang Xu that he wanted to kill Zeng Guofan to comfort Shi Dakai's spirit in the sky, but Huang Xu refused in person, of course, while refusing, he also seriously explained the stakes to Li Xiucheng, Li Xiucheng is also a reasonable person, and now he is desperate to follow Huang Xu, so there will be no more follow-up to this matter.

To tell the truth, Zeng Guofan's courtesy in Huang Xu is compared with that in the Qing camp, it is more than that, but one difference is that he may not be free when he is in the Qing camp, although he is allowed to move freely in the Taiping military camp without any restrictions, but only in the camp, if he wants to go out of the camp without authorization, then, all the consequences can be imagined, Zeng Guofan of course understands the key to this, so he will not do this kind of stupid thing.

In any case, all that Huang Xu did was to promote Zeng Guofan to join the camp of the Taiping Army as soon as possible.

And Zeng Guofan is Zeng Guofan after all, he can't lose his name because of Huang Xu's little favor, as the saying goes, the loss of money is small, and the loss of festival is big, although this section is not the other festival, but after all, it is against the way of doing things for Zeng Guofan, so he will not do such an unprincipled thing if he says anything.

Huang Xu also knows a lot about Zeng Guofan's thoughts, so since he "invited" Zeng Guofan to the Taiping military camp, Huang Xu's conversation with him was limited to some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, etc., at most, he talked about some domestic and foreign situations, but he didn't mention anything about hoping that Zeng Guofan would surrender and be loyal. He believes that as long as Zeng Guofan is under his control, he has a way to subdue it, the cold three feet is not a day's cold, no matter who it is, no matter what it is, the most unavoidable thing is time, time can change everything, as long as you work hard, Huang Xu also believes that sincerity is the opening of gold and stone. Zeng Guofan zuihou will stand on his side in a moment.

Recently, Huang Xu has also heard some of the commotion in the Qing camp, so he plans to talk to Zeng Guofan again, he doesn't have much hope, but at least he wants to express what he wants to express seriously.

The big tent that "imprisoned" Zeng Guofan was next to Huang Xu, so Huang Xu didn't need to make any effort, he entered Zeng Guofan's tent, and Zeng Guofan, who was sitting in the tent, was holding a book of Su Dongpo's words and reading aloud, "The great river goes to the waves, and the romantic characters through the ages...".

"Zeng Dashuai is very interested, although this Dongpo word is good, but sometimes, it can't help but be a little unrealistic, it's really a disease-free moan." Huang Xu and the others finished reciting an article, smiled behind his back, and said.

"Oh, listening to Marshal Huang's words, you don't seem to have a good impression of Dongpo." Zeng Guofan turned around, also smiled lightly, reached out and stroked a few short beards under his chin, and said curiously.

He has listened to Huang Xu's whimsical explanations a lot during this time, and he has quite agreed with many of Huang Xu's ideas, and now he is also very interested in listening to Huang Xu's words about Dongpo. And during the same period of time, he was much less wary of Huang Xu, and basically lost the initial resistance, especially on some issues, they even had a lot of common language.

This can be regarded as a good sign for Huang Xu.

"Then I'll tell you what I think?" Huang Xu's tone of speech is very interesting.

"Ben Shuai listens." Although Zeng Guofan has been a prisoner - the prisoner of the Taiping Army is referred to as the prisoner, but the rotten habits brought about by his long stay in a high position still do not change, for example, he still likes to call himself the commander at this point.

"I don't like Su Dongpo, on the contrary, I like Dongpo's words the most in my life, and I like Dongpo's meat more, Dongpo's meat is fat but not greasy, fragrant and refreshing, if the fire is in place, it melts in the mouth, and it makes people have no aftertaste, which shows that Dongpo is not only a great word man, but also a gourmet, but, for his person, I think I need to evaluate it more dialectically." Huang Xu talked eloquently.

"I want to hear about it." Zeng Guofan's interest was hoisted.

Just like this song, this song is made by Dongpo when he is unhappy in life, and the mood at that time is not comparable to the time when he is proud of the spring breeze, just imagine, in such a state of mind the words made are definitely not positive, it transmits most of the negative factors, it will involuntarily bring people's emotions into a negative realm, you just listen to its zuihou sentence, affectionate should laugh at my early birth Huafa, what does that mean, it means that he is a mediocre person who disturbs himself, thinks too much, if you are busy all day long, how can you have time, How can you still be in the mood to sigh what is born early." Huang Xu said a lot in one breath.

"Marshal Huang's words are not unreasonable, but Ben Shuai thinks that Dongpo's words are magnificent, which makes people's blood boil when they read it, you can feel it carefully, how imposing." Zeng Guofan has his own opinion.

"What you said, I also agree, this is weishenme I said to evaluate it dialectically, this poem has a positive side and a negative side, it depends on how we treat it differently." HUANG Xudao.

"Yes, look at the problem dialectically, Marshal Huang's words are interesting, and Marshal Ben is taught again today." Zeng Guofan also admired Huang Xuzhi's remarks.

"Where, where, I'm just pinching here, it's not as good as being so handsome." Huang Xu also has to be modest.

"Forget it, the people of Bogu and the present are not prisoners of your subordinates." Zeng Guofan joked.

"Da Shuai's words are wrong, I treat Da Shuai as a guest, there is no contempt, Da Shuai does not have to have any psychological burden, although I can live here with confidence, I guarantee that Da Shuai can live comfortably, there will be no discomfort." Huang Xu patted his chest and said.

"How is this different from house arrest?" Zeng Guofan sighed lightly.

It seems that this Zeng Guofan is not without complaints, the reason why he did not easily expose his feelings in the past is because of two reasons, first, he regards Huang Xu as an enemy, and his resistance is great, and second, he doesn't want to say his true thoughts casually, so as not to give people a handle, now, he and Huang Xu are also acquaintances, and the two sides have been in contact for a long time, and some words can't help but be said.

When Huang Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he knew that Zeng Guofan could speak like this, which proved in disguise that his so-called Jin Cheng was still feasible.

"Marshal, this is a mistake, in the Taiping military camp, you can come and go freely, and you can speak freely, let alone the word house arrest." Huang Xu was deliberately stunned.

"But this commander is a military commander, and there are no soldiers and generals under him, so how can he be free." Zeng Guofan seems to be quite angry.

"Oh, that's right... Well, it's easy." Huang Xu deliberately lowered his head and thought about it, and then said.

"What do you mean, you mean, you are willing to let Ben Shuai go back, that's really good, as long as Ben Shuai can go back, Ben Shuai is here to assure you that Ben Shuai will definitely fight with you on the battlefield, if you can fight with a hero like you, it is the honor of Ben Shuai." Zeng Guofan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

"Zeng Dashuai, you may have misunderstood what I meant." Huang Xu's face does not change color.

"You, what do you mean?" The smile on Zeng Guofan's face suddenly froze, and he said a little nervously.

"Dashuai, look, how good it is that you are in my Taiping Army, so, I have an idea, I can do the best of both worlds, I don't know what you mean, you see, why don't I say it for your reference, reference." Huang Xu said with a smile.

"Look at your treacherous appearance, there must be no good thing, let's say, Ben Shuai listens?" Zeng Guofan knew that it would be fine.

"Aren't you going to be the commander of the army, why don't you be the commander of our Taiping Army, in this way, don't you have everything? You say yes." Huang Xu really came up with a good idea.

"Fart, you fart, bastard, this kind of wordless and fatherless, you can also say it, what Taiping Army, let Ben Shuai talk about it, it is a thief. Anti-thief, do you know, you let the commander of the Qing Dynasty lead the anti-thief rebellion, I can't do this, let alone do it, this marshal is not willing to leave this eternal infamy, let alone do this kind of thing that violates the principles of morality." When Zeng Guofan heard this, the fire suddenly burst out, and he roared at Huang Xu.

When he finished yelling, Huang Xu was not annoyed, but said calmly: "Zeng Dashuai, your prejudice against the Taiping Army is too deep, you have lived in the Taiping Army for so long, you can tell me yourself, everything you have seen in my Taiping Army, is it better than the Great Qing Army you said, and it is not just a little better, but a hundred times better, you say, such an army, you can't command it, don't you think it's a great honor to lead such an army?"

"No matter how good it is, it's a rebel." Zeng Guofan said coldly.

"Rebels? Standing in front of you is the leader of the rebels, what's wrong with the rebels, the rebels work for the welfare of the people of the world, the rebels can govern the country well, the rebels can say no to foreigners, within the rebels, everyone is equal, the rebels' officers, honest and honest, the rebels' soldiers, not afraid of death... These, well, these, can the so-called Qing court do it?" Huang Xu also lit a fire and yelled at Zeng Guofan.

He couldn't figure it out, how could this Zeng Guofan be an elm head, was his brain burned out, even a three-year-old child knew the truth, why was he so stubborn, it seems that he was poisoned by some bullshit Cheng Zhu Lixue.

"You....you...."Zeng Guofan was so choked by Huang Xu's words that he couldn't say a word, he pointed at Huang Xu's nose, his face flushed, and he looked angry.

"Dashuai, let me say, don't be angry, if you are angry even for this kind of thing, you just let me look down on you, I have always admired you very much, think about it, in today's world, if you talk about the word talent, in addition to Shi Wangye, who can compare with you, now, Shi Wangye is unfortunate to go to the immortal, you can enjoy the talent alone, if you still want to drill the horns, you can really insult your reputation as the world's first talent." Huang Xu didn't think about it, just forget it, and continue to sensationalize.

Zeng Guofan usually values his own reputation and reputation the most, but now he asks Huang Xu to talk about the things he values the most, how can he bear it.

"Huang Xu, you are too much, don't deceive people too much." Zeng Guofan said loudly.

"Dashuai, I'm excessive, I'm too much, you tell me to listen, where I said it wrong, you tell me about it." Huang Xu said confidently. Now that the words have been said to this point, he will not hold back today, he will definitely explain everything that should be said to Zeng Guofan, so that Zeng Guofan wants to go.

"You....you..." Zeng Guofan really couldn't answer, what Huang Xu said was really right.

"I can't say it, I'm right, Dashuai, it's your idea that is wrong, and it's too far wrong, according to me, you, you have to learn to keep pace with the times." Huang Xu just wants to stimulate Zeng Guofan and let him learn to reflect on himself.

"You, thief." Zeng Guofan, you have been saying these words for so long. It's hard for him, because now he can only say these few words.

"Yes, in your eyes, in the eyes of your big brother Xianfeng, we are anti-thieves, but you don't want to think about it, isn't his ancestor Xianfeng also a thief? Where did his Qing dynasty come from, and didn't he also snatch it from the Ming Dynasty, the master they once served? Strictly speaking, everyone is each other, the wheel of history is constantly moving forward, and the Qing Dynasty is doomed to perish, because it has blocked the trajectory of history, so, from this level, the ones you insist on in your mouth, to put it bluntly, are some ethereal things, not worth mentioning, and have no practical significance." Huang Xu is more and more excited.

"Fallacy, fallacy, utter absurdity." Where can Zeng Guofan listen to this, Huang Xu's words are all some troublesome words in his opinion, how dare he, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, disagree.

"Zeng Dashuai, no matter what you think, Huang Xu's words have come to this point, okay, it's not too early, think about it, I'll come back another day." Huang Xu finished saying everything that should be said, and left the rest to Zeng Guofan to think about it himself.

After Huang Xu finished speaking, he hugged Zeng Guofan, then turned around and left, leaving Zeng Guofan alone to sulk there. But then again, if you just look at Zeng Guofan's attitude, today's events must have touched him a lot. (To be continued.)
