Let's press Huang Xu's head first, and then talk about Shi Da's death.

It is said that after Zuo Zongtang and the others realized the danger that day, they fled from Anqing Mansion with their lives. As soon as they returned to the Qing camp, they reported the relevant situation of Anqing Mansion to Zeng Guofan, the commander of the Qing army, and at the same time pleaded guilty to Zeng Guofan, saying that they not only violated military discipline and went to the enemy's heart city and Anqing Mansion without authorization, but also messed up the matter of the Qing army's plan to establish a secret base in Anqing Mansion, which is a serious crime.

Zeng Guofan's anger has long been gone, and he still needs to rely on these people to deal with the Taiping army, so it is inconvenient to delve into it, but the surface work still has to be done, so he first blamed a few people, and then pretended to engage in military law for a few people, and drank the order to push out and behead, as he expected, all the generals knelt down and pleaded, saying that the enemy is current, and it is not good for the army to cut their own people first, so he pushed the boat down the river, and Zuihou withheld a few people's silver for the next half a year, which can be regarded as an explanation to everyone.

After dealing with the matter of Zuo Zongtang and others, Zeng Guofan asked about some situations in Anqing Mansion, especially the appearance of Huang Xu and several people, which attracted Zeng Guofan's attention.

"San'er, according to your guess, who will Huang Si be?" Zeng Guofan's face was solemn, obviously he also felt that Huang Xu should be a key person.

"Dashuai, according to the student, that Huang Si must be the son of an official eunuch, not the businessman he mentioned, because he doesn't have the kind of copper smell that ordinary businessmen carry, and his two followers are by no means idle, and looking at his knowledge and conversation, it shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person." Zuo Zongtang said further.

"It's strange, when did Anqing Mansion have such a figure, but we don't know at all, so it seems that the establishment of a secret base in Anqing Mansion is also urgent, otherwise, we will not lose on the battlefield, we will definitely lose in this talent competition." Zeng Guofan was worried.

"Dashuai, do you need Zong Tang to go to Anqing Mansion again?" Zuo Zongtang asked tentatively.

Zuo Zongtang had just been seriously offended, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of going to Anqing Mansion again.

"Aren't you going to be caught in the net? Of course you can't go again." Zeng Guofan really disagreed.

"Dashuai, that's just Mr. Luo's guess, at that time, it was just to be cautious, so we decided to withdraw first, maybe it was just our own suspicions, others may not have found anything, things will not be so coincidental." Zuo Zongtang really didn't believe that things were so coincidental.

"No, you are the commander of the Chu army, how can you be in danger, no, you can't say anything, you just honestly stay in the barracks for me, ready to fight." Zeng Guofan shook his head and said.

"War, the commander means that we have a war to fight." Hearing that there was going to be a war, Zuo Zongtang was interested, and he forgot about going to Anqing Mansion for a while.

It's really not a safe lord, Zeng Guofan thought.

"Yes, Ben Shuai discussed with the military advisor, now that the army has finished recuperation, the army is very prosperous, so we decided to fight a battle with the Taiping Army, to extinguish Shi Dakai's prestige, and at the same time to boost our own morale, think about it, in the previous battles, we fought too much, and everyone held their stomachs." Zeng Guofan sighed and said.

"Okay, Dashuai, this is long overdue, we should teach Shi Da a lesson, so as not to let him look down on us." Zuo Zongtang agreed.

"Bingzhang, what is your opinion?" Zeng Guofan asked again.

"The subordinates are in favor of fighting this battle, but before attacking, we need to formulate a well-thought-out jihua to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past." Luo Bingzhang said.

"Very good, it's rare that we all agree on the same page, Strategist, you can tell us in detail, so that everyone can also refer to it and see if there is anything that needs to be added." Zeng Guofan said with a smile.

Since the Chu army came, Luo Bingzhang, the military advisor of the Chu army, was renamed as Mr. Luo, Bingzhang, etc., and the title of the military advisor was exclusive to Zeng Guofan's number one think tank, Li Hongzhang.

"Yes, Sir." Li Hongzhang bowed and said.

So, Li Hongzhang gave a detailed description of the relevant jihua.

When they heard this, they all applauded with their voices, and thought it was a wonderful plan.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zeng Guofan dispatched men to prepare for an attack.

Just when the Qing army was strategizing, in the military camp of the Tai army, Shi Dakai also returned from Anqing City, this time the battle of Anqing, although Zeng Guofan ran away, but compared with the losses suffered by the Qing army, the Taiping army can be regarded as another victory, in recent times, the Taiping army and the Qing army have fought from time to time, basically more wins and fewer losses, or basically a rare loss, because of this, these victories gradually fueled the arrogance of some people, and a complacent unhealthy wind began to spread in the army.

Some sober-minded people, such as Zhao Xiaofeng, found these signs, and he reported to Shi Dakai in a timely manner, hoping that Shi Dakai could come forward to stop this unhealthy trend, but Shi Dakai said that during this period of time, the army worked hard, the soldiers worked hard, and they always won battles.

After Zhao Xiaofeng heard this, he was also speechless, but he began to have a premonition in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen, and sure enough, something really happened, and it was a shocking event.

On this day, Shi Dakai was discussing with everyone in the tent, and suddenly a sentinel came to report, saying that the logistics and transportation brigade of the Qing army had been found twenty miles away from the camp, and they transported a lot of materials, as many as hundreds of vehicles. Shi Dakai heard it, hahadaxiao, he thought that this was the Qing army helping the Taiping army transport supplies.

As soon as the generals heard this, someone jumped out on the spot, saying that they were going to rob these materials.

"Breaking the sky, are you addicted to grabbing the supplies of the Qing army, why do you have to rob them as soon as you hear that there are supplies, and this is worth it?" Shi Dakai looked at Guo Potian and quipped.

Guo Potian touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, who made this Zeng Guofan always have to be our transport captain?" He brought this fat meat to our mouths, can we not gnaw it, do you say?"

"That's right, that's right, Lord Wang, how can you let the fat in your mouth slip away, rob, rob, rob, we must rob, we ask for orders to go with General Guo." Before Shi Dakai could speak, the Duan brothers shouted.

"Alright, alright, this time you all don't fight, this time, this king has decided to go in person, and he will not let this fat slip out of our mouths." Shi Dakai is arrogant.

"How can this work, no, no, the prince is the commander of the three armies, how can he move lightly, if the prince really decides to rob the supplies, just send a general, why risk yourself." Seeing that Shi Dakai was going to go in person, Zhao Xiaofeng tried his best to stop him.

"Yes, lord, let the last general go, the last general will definitely bring things back." Li Xiucheng also persuaded.

"Okay, okay, don't fight with this king this time, this king must go, what this king has decided will never change." Shi Dakai is determined to go.

"Since the prince is going, then he must bring more men and horses to prevent the conspiracy of the Qing army." Zhao Xiaofeng reminded.

"No, no, it's enough for this king to bring 10,000 horses and infantry troops." Shi Dakai didn't care about the authenticity.

Zhao Xiaofeng still wanted to persuade him again, Shi Dakai waved his hand to stop him, indicating that his intention was gone, Zhao Xiaofeng could only sigh when he saw this, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

After sending Shi Dakai away, Zhao Xiaofeng found Li Xiucheng, told Li Xiucheng about his worries, and suggested that he and Guo Potian together, do their best to meet Shi Dakai with the main force of the Taiping Army, Li Xiucheng listened to Zhao Xiaofeng's analysis, suddenly alerted, and quickly pulled Guo Potian and led the army with him to meet Shi Dakai.

When they arrived, they happened to see a rain of arrows shooting at Shi Dakai's grain robbery team, obviously Shi Dakai's army was ambushed by the Qing army.

I saw that the soldiers who were trying to survive in the rain of arrows had no danger to avoid, and they were hit by arrows one after another, although Shi Dakai was blocking left and right, He Nai's manpower was limited, he knew in his heart that he could not escape, he looked at the soldiers around him who were constantly falling from the arrows, and then looked at Li Xiucheng and Guo Potian who were rushing bravely, he had a trace of regret in his heart, regretted not listening to Zhao Xiaofeng's persuasion, regretted that he was too proud and arrogant, but it was too late.

Just when Li Xiucheng and Guo Potian were about to rush to Shi Dakai's side, poof, poof, poof... The sound of several sharp swords penetrating his body sounded around Shi Dakai's body, and Shi Dakai felt a pain all over his body, and his body shook. Consciousness began to blur, he raised the sword in his hand, used all his strength, swung forward, and shouted, Kill. This killing word resounded in the sky, and the sound shook the sky, but it also exhausted Shi Dakai's strength.

Shi Dakai sat on horseback, holding a sword in his hand, his body was full of sharp arrows, although he closed his eyes, but the person did not fall, although he could no longer fight, but the momentum was still there.

Li Chengtian and Guo Potian saw this scene, their eyes were red, and they rushed to kill desperately, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army were also touched by this scene, and they all moved forward bravely, because Li Xiucheng and Guo Potian brought the main force of the Taiping Army, and the number of people was large, and the Qing army was forced to retreat.

zuihou, Li Xiucheng and Guo Potian finally rescued Shi Dakai, who had been lying with several arrows on his back.

The rest of the story, everyone already knows. (To be continued......)
