Zeng Guofan came back afterwards and found that his concubine was missing, so he was furious and hurriedly sent people to look for him, but he couldn't find it.

Of course, how could Zeng Guofan find it, and how could he know that Huang Xu's special operations team had a very effective way to dispose of the corpse. Therefore, even if Zeng Guofan turned the whole earth over, it would be impossible to find his concubine again, and this matter could only be a headless public case.

The loss of the concubine is a small matter, but the delay of military affairs is a big trouble, so after the initial anger, Zeng Guofan put all his energy into the tense army construction, and the matter of the concubine was forgotten.

Suddenly, one day, Zeng Guofan convened the generals again.

"Strategist, how is the training work of our army progressing?" Zeng Guofan asked.

"Marshal, it's going well, but now it's just that the actual combat experience is lacking." Li Hongzhang was busy during this time, and he was really tired.

"Well, actual combat experience can only be gained in war, so in this way, we will inevitably have to fight Shi Da." Zeng Guofan frowned.

"Yes, Marshal, we have to be mentally prepared for this." Li Hongzhang said.

"How's the situation in the stone camp?" Zeng Guofan asked again.

"According to the report of the scouts, the movement of the stone camp is also very large, and the people and horses are basically trained every day, but the method of training is very different from ours." Li Hongzhang also couldn't understand the fundamental difference between them.

"Oh, can you be more detailed?" Zeng Guofan came to be interested.

"The difference between the drill of the stone camp and ours is that we train all the troops separately, while they practice together, and their practice looks very chaotic, I don't know what the hell this Shi Dakai is doing." Li Hongzhang is puzzled.

"Mixed drills, there is no such practice method in the past military book battle array, is Shi Dakai confusing us by doing this, what is he doing, check, military advisor, send someone to check, we must find out, what tricks is this Shi Dakai playing." Zeng Guofandao.

"Yes, I'll arrange it." Li Hongzhang was ordered.

"By the way, in addition, does Shi Dakai have any other changes?" Zeng Guofandao.

"The students also heard that Shi Dakai opened up Stone Town, not far from Anqing, as a new place for grain and grass to be replenished, and he used to pile up grain and grass equipment in Anqing Mansion, but now he has moved some of the materials forward, I don't know what he wants to do." Li Hongzhang reported a new situation.

"Did you send someone to check?" Zeng Guofandao.

"I've checked it, it's true, there is indeed a lot of grain and grass piled up there, and there are heavy guards." Li Hongzhang nodded.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this is the most basic way to use the troops, it seems that Shi Dakai is ready to move." Zeng Guofan estimated and touched.

"What are we going to do?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"Raid Shi Dakai's grain stronghold in Stone City and burn his grain and grass." Zeng Guofan thought about it and seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Li Hongzhang shook his head and said.

"Of course, so, we need to sum up and find a safe way, but, Shi Dakai's grain road must be broken, if the army has no food, then the Shi army will not attack and chaos, and we can do it without a fight." Zeng Guofan is a good calculation.

"Marshal, give me 5,000 troops, and I will be able to attack Stone City and burn the grain and grass of the stone thieves." Zeng Guohua pleaded.

"Guohua, the military advisor just said that there are heavy guards there." Zeng Guofan provoked him.

It seems that Zeng Guofan has already made up his mind to do this kind of immoral thing of burning people's grain and grass, so this time, he plans to send a ruthless person, he immediately thought of Zeng Guohua, but he can't tell him directly, he wants to provoke Zeng Guohua first, the so-called please will not be as good as the general, this is the truth.

"The so-called heavy soldiers of the stone thieves are like mustard in my eyes, and they are not worth mentioning." Zeng Guohua sneered at the so-called heavy soldiers.

"Are you really going?" Zeng Guofandao.

"I want to go." Zeng Guohua Road.

"Okay, you're willing to make a military order." Zeng Guofan said again.

"Why not." Zeng Guohua Road.

"Okay, the writ waits." Zeng Guofan shouted.

After a while, General Zeng Guohua's writ was set up and handed over to Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan told him to be careful with his troops, and Zeng Guohua agreed, ordered 5,000 soldiers, and killed Stone City.

"Dashuai, Guohua is impatient in trouble, and I am afraid that there will be changes here." Li Hongzhang said.

"It's okay, you and I will then lead the army to meet you." Zeng Guofandao.

"Yes, Sir." Li Hongzhang said.

Zeng Guohua drove 5,000 military horses and hurried to the stone city, only to see that the drawbridge outside the city had been pulled up, the city gate was closed, and it seemed that he had been prepared.

"Listen to the people in the city, your grandfather Zeng Guohua was ordered to come to take the city, and if you know each other, hurry up and surrender the city, if not, break the city and leave no armor." Zeng Guohua called the formation downstairs.

What answered him was a rain of arrows, and Zeng Guohua hurriedly led the crowd to retreat.

"Shit, these shrunken turtles." Zeng Guohua couldn't help but scold in a low voice.

However, if the people in the city don't fight, he can't help it, and besides, what he brought today is five thousand light cavalry, and he has no equipment to prepare for the siege, so it is impossible to storm the city, it seems that he can only keep challenging, Zeng Guohua thought.

Thinking of this, Zeng Guohua kept scolding, scolding the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the people in the city, he scolded from morning to noon, and the people who defended the city just didn't fight.

At this time, the sun was at its peak, everyone was in armor, and it was hot and dry, Zeng Guohua thought, since no one should fight, then let everyone take a rest, and it is not too late to call the battle later, so he ordered everyone to dismount, find a cool place to rest, and wait for the sun to be less poisonous, and then go to challenge.

All the generals were ordered to find a place to rest, Zeng Guohua also found a place where the sun could not shine, picked up the water bag on the horse's back and poured a few mouthfuls, he felt a little sleepy, so he took off the armor on his body and spread it on the ground, intending to squint, who knew that this squint, he really squinted.

In his sleep, Zeng Guohua heard a shout that shook the sky, it seemed that someone from Stone City had rushed out and killed his army, his army was caught off guard in an unsuspecting situation, he was about to scream, but he heard someone shaking his arm, and was shouting: "General, general, wake up, the enemy army is coming."

Zeng Guohua heard a few words about the enemy's killing, his mind suddenly sobered up, he got up with a bone, and he didn't have time to put on his armor, so he met the Taiping army that was killing.

At this time, the battlefield was very chaotic, Zeng Guohua brought 5,000 troops under the surprise attack of the Taiping army, heavy losses, Zeng Guohua saw this scene, his eyes were red, and he fought desperately, but there were more and more Taiping troops behind, and Zeng Guohua fell into the rolling flow of the Taiping army in a moment.

At the critical juncture, in the oblique stab, a Biao army arrived, only to see the leading general, holding a spear, rushing to kill, Zeng Guohua looked, it was his brother Zeng Guoquan, Zeng Guohua was overjoyed, and fought hard in the direction of Zeng Guoquan, intending to meet Zeng Guoquan. Just when Zeng Guohua and Zeng Guoquan killed the Quartet, there was another army to kill, the leading general Zeng San, so the three of them joined forces to drive away the Taiping army, the Taiping army could not resist, and they were defeated backwards, they were ready to retreat into the city, who knew that they had just arrived at the edge of the city, they heard the horn and cannon in the city, and the city tower erected swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and a big flag was waved in the wind, and a big Zeng character was written on it, it turned out that Zeng Guofan had taken the opportunity to take the city.

I only listened to Zeng Guofan's fusu hahadaxiao on the city tower: "Wait for the traitor to listen, you go back and tell Shi Dakai, this stone city, Ben Shuai has taken it, if he is not satisfied, Ben Shuai is waiting for him here, he can come to attack again, ha, ha...".

After Zeng Guofan finished speaking, there was another burst of daxiao.

The Taiping army could not enter the city, so they could only retreat in the direction where Shi Dakai's camp was located.

Zeng Guohua and others gathered with Zeng Guofan in Stone City, Zeng Guohua asked Zeng Guofan for guilt, Zeng Guofan heard hahadaxiao, saying that Zeng Guohua was not only innocent, but also meritorious, which made Zeng Guohua inexplicable.

It turned out that Zeng Guofan knew Zeng Guohua's character very well, and he expected that Zeng Guohua would definitely underestimate the enemy when he went, as long as the Taiping army seized Zeng Guohua's weakness, they would definitely go out of the city to attack Zeng Guohua, and as long as the Taiping army went out of the city, it would be logical for Zeng Guofan to take the city from behind.

Therefore, what he wants is Zeng Guohua's defeat, only if Zeng Guohua is defeated, he can successfully take the city, which is also the reason why Zeng Guohua is not only faultless, but also meritorious.

After the generals heard this, it was hahadaxiao again, which embarrassed Zeng Guohua.

After Zeng Guofan set up a banquet in the stone city to celebrate, he ordered Luo Zenan, Zeng Guoquan, and Li Yuandu to lead the troops to burn grain and grass, and the three generals took the order and led the troops away.

After a while, the fire rose to the sky, and at this time the north wind was blowing, the wind helped the fire, the fire borrowed the wind power, the more it burned, not only the grain and grass were ignited, but also many things around it were ignited, the weather was dry and dry, something touched it, the raging fire burned all over the stone city after a while, Luo Zenan and the three people brought the brunt of the people, suffered from the disaster, and were burned to death by the fire, a few people with the rest of the people and horses hugged their heads and ran around, just met Zeng Guofan and others who rushed over, they looked at the embarrassment of Zeng Guofan and others, and understood in their hearts, The handsome man was not spared.

"Strategist, what should I do, the fire has burned all four gates, and there is no way out, can I only sit and wait?" Zeng Guo's domain has been in chaos.

It turned out that Zeng Guofan and several people were discussing the next course of action after Luo Zenan's three generals went, but they didn't expect the fire to burn inexplicably, they heard the sound of crying dad and mothers everywhere, and knew that something was wrong, so Zeng Guofan and several people rushed out desperately and walked along the city gate.

"Dashuai, Ximen seems to be a small fire, and it should be able to break through." Zeng San, who was ordered to explore the way, came back to the road.

"In this case, without further ado, the generals will protect the marshal and break out from the west gate." Li Hongzhang shouted.

So, the generals surrounded Zeng Guofan to the west gate, and when they arrived at the west gate, they saw that as Zeng San said, the fire was not too big and could stand out, so the generals protected Zeng Guofan and escaped from the west gate.

Zeng Guofan, who escaped from the city, saw the fire that was still burning and was speechless for a long time, he sighed and ordered the generals to open the way back to the camp.

When the generals saw this, they couldn't help but be demoralized. This was supposed to be a good thing.,I didn't expect zuihou to become a tiger.,A fire embarrassed everyone.,And almost lost your life.,This trip.,I don't know if it's worth it.,It's not worth it.

Everyone looked forward for a few miles, and suddenly the trumpet cannon sounded in front, and a Biao army blocked the way, only to hear the leading general shouting: "Leave Zeng Guofan."
