Zeng Guofan knew that Zeng Guohua was well-intentioned, but he couldn't agree with Zeng Guohua's statement, thinking that Zeng Wenzheng (Zeng Guofan's character Wenzheng) was a dignified gentleman, and he would never make such a disobedient act that violated natural principles.

Although he disagrees with Zeng Guohua's opinion, he doesn't really want to do anything to him, the reason why he wants to imprison Zeng Guohua is also out of good intentions, he hopes to take this opportunity to hone Zeng Guohua's sharpness, so that he can learn to think twice before acting, not just relying on the courage of blood and spirit, act rashly.

After dealing with these troubles, Zeng Guofan tossed for a long time before falling asleep.

In his sleep, Zeng Guofan dreamed that Shi Dakai sent people to rob the camp, and under the shock, he screamed, woke up from the dream, and when he woke up, he found that he was covered in sweat, and quickly stretched out his hand and touched his head, only to realize that it was Nan Ke a dream.

"Dashuai, Dashuai, something is wrong." The hurried shouting made Zeng Guofan's heart tremble.

He quickly got dressed, hurried out of the camp, and saw Li Hongzhang standing outside the big tent, not far away, the fire was soaring, and the people were boiling, and he didn't know what was going on.

"What's going on?" Zeng Guofan said urgently.

"Commander, the stone thieves sent people to attack the camp and set fire to the grain and grass." Li Hongzhang said in a calm tone as much as possible.

"What?" Zeng Guofan was shocked, his body shook, and he almost fainted.

Li Hongzhang took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to support Zeng Guofan, and said, "Dashuai, be careful."

"How many enemies are coming? Are they all repulsed? What about the loss of grain and grass?" Zeng Guofan asked a few questions in a row.

"The commander, the matter started in a hurry, there is no time to inform the commander, the students are arrogant, and they have sent the generals to attack the attacking enemy, just now the sentinel has come to report, the enemy army has retreated, but the grain and grass have been lost." Li Hongzhang said truthfully.

"You're doing the right thing, but it's a terrible blow to us, and that's good." Although Zeng Guofan already had the worst plan in his heart, after this matter was confirmed, he still couldn't accept it.

"Commander, this thief is too cunning, they took advantage of our new defeat, neglected to take precautions, and used despicable means to carry out a sneak attack, which caught us off guard." Li Hongzhang said resentfully.

"Under the new defeat of the army, it is necessary to prevent thieves from sneaking attack, this is the most basic way to use troops, so you can't blame the enemy, you can only blame the commander for being careless, and the commander of the whole army, as the commander of the whole army, needs to take the greatest responsibility." Zeng Guofan was annoyed and distressed.

"Don't blame yourself too much, everyone is responsible." When Li Hongzhang saw Zeng Guofan say this, he didn't know how to reply, but he just persuaded.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's review it later, now, we must do two things, first, count the actual losses as soon as possible, count the remaining grain and grass in the army, we need to find out how long the grain and grass in our hands can support. Second, block the news internally and externally, try not to talk about the losses or say that the losses are smaller, otherwise, it may cause great chaos in the morale of the army, and at the same time, immediately write a report to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can immediately transfer grain and grass." Zeng Guofan waved his hand and asked Li Hongzhang to stop saying those useless words and arrange remedial measures as soon as possible.

"Yes, Dashuai, the students will arrange it, but if the court knows that our army has been defeated again, and the grain and grass have been burned, it may be angry again, and the Dashuai still has to prepare early." Li Hongzhang still has lingering palpitations about what happened last time.

I don't know if this God is deliberately joking with them, this wave is not peaceful, wave after wave, and the court may have to blame again.

"Don't worry about it, if the court thinks that Ben Shuai is incompetent, he can remove Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai is happy to be idle." Zeng Guofan disagreed.

"Dashuai, don't think so, you are the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, if you leave, isn't the Qing Dynasty over? This is against your ambition to frame the great ambition of the community, so, handsome, you can't be rash." Li Hongzhang knew that Zeng Guofan was talking angry, and he understood that Zeng Guofan would not admit defeat so easily, but if others said angry words, but the marshal couldn't, it would shake the morale of the army.

"Military advisor, you and I both know that in the court, many sycophants have no choice but to leave their posts immediately, if at this time, they know that my Zeng Guofan is defeated and defeated, you say, what should we do." Zeng Guofan has not thought about the key point in this, he is now, on the one hand, he has to fight against Shi Dakai militarily, and on the other hand, he has to fight against those opponents in the court, and it is difficult for him.

"Marshal, everything is a forbearance word, as long as the marshal still retains the position of the commander of the army, then we are not afraid, not to mention, the court does not let the marshal lead the army, who has the energy to lead our Hunan army soldiers, in the minds of today's saints and people of insight in the court, they see the powerful relationship is very clear, so, the students think that strength determines everything, as long as we hold the military power, and then accompanied by a forbearance word, it is what the court wants, and what do you want to wait for?" Li Hongzhang's words are three points.

"Okay, military advisor, just do as you say, let's bear with it." Zeng Guofan also calmed down and nodded.

Li Hongzhang can be regarded as relieved.

"Dashuai, then the student will arrange the two things you said." Li Hongzhang said.

"Okay, you go and arrange it as soon as possible." Zeng Guofandao.

After speaking, Li Hongzhang went straight to arrange what Zeng Guofan had to explain, and Zeng Guofan went back to think about the next steps.

In Shi Dakai's camp, Li Xiucheng, who led the army to burn the grain and grass of the Qing army, led the victorious army back and was surrendering to Shi Dakai.

"Lord Wang, everything is going well in this army, and the army grain and grass have been burned." Li Xiucheng replied.

"Okay, Xiucheng, it's great to remember your great work." Shi Dakai praised.

After Li Xiucheng thanked him, he withdrew.

There are only three people left in the tent: Shi Dakai, Zhao Xiaofeng and Huang Xu.

"Brother, your serial plan can make Zeng Guofan miserable, I'm afraid he wants to cry without tears now, ha, ha..." Shi Dakai's mood was very happy, and the little regret after hearing that Zeng Guofan had escaped had also been swept away.

"Lord Wang, as long as he doesn't hang himself because of this." Huang Xu joked.

"Master Poma, the student thinks that it is impossible for him to hang himself, but it is possible that he will hide in some corner and cry silently to comfort his injured body and mind." Zhao Xiaofeng also ridiculed Zeng Guofan to his heart's content.

However, since Zhao Xiaofeng surrendered to Huang Xu, in front of him, he no longer dared to be called an elder brother, and generally called Huang Xu a concubine, and the position of dignity and humility was quite clear, Huang Xu knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he accepted it calmly.

"Ha, ha, ha..."After the three of them finished speaking, they enjoyed themselves together.

It turned out that this burning of the army's grain and grass was also directed by Huang Xu, and he planned one after another, but it really made Zeng Guofan suffer.

"Brother, guess what this Zeng Guofan will do next?" After laughing, Shi Dakai asked again.

"Please help, please grain and grass." Huang Xu's heart is like a mirror.

"So what do we do?" Shi Dakai said, Shi Dakai is now used to asking like this, and this sentence seems to have become his mantra.

"Four words, divide the troops and rob the grain." Huang Xu seems to have already calculated.

"Wonderful, wonderful, the horse can be said to have poked Zeng Guofan's sore spot, making him an old injury that has not healed, and a new injury, which is even more painful, it seems that Zeng Guofan is really going to hurt his heart and lungs." Zhao Xiaofeng was a little sympathetic.

"It can be regarded as the way of others, and the body of others, this Zeng Guofan likes to do the lack of virtue in his life to cut off other people's grain routes, this time we want to let him taste the taste of his own grain roads being cut off." HUANG Xudao.

"After you say this, I kind of understand, brother, there is really you." Shi Dakai is not stupid, of course he understands what Huang Xu means, he not only understands, but also admires it.

"Where, where, carving insect skills, carving insect skills." Huang Xu smiled and said.

"Brother, look, are you humble, such small skills of carving insects, only a wonderful person like my brother can think of it, just ask, can others think of it?" Shi Dakai was full of smiles, he was more and more satisfied with Huang Xu, no, not just satisfied, he felt very happy now, he couldn't be more happy, just imagine, with such a great talent, a wizard by his side, can he not be happy.

Hearing Shi Dakai's words, Huang Xu didn't speak, just smiled, like that, I don't know what it means.

"Master Horse, what should be the specific arrangements, who should be sent to carry them out, and please give me instructions." Zhao Xiaofeng said.

"Lord Wang, I think it's okay to let General Guo's Ma Bujun carry it out, there is no need for others to do this kind of thing, as for the specific arrangements, Mr. Zhao and General Guo will discuss it, what do you think?" HUANG Xudao.

"Agreed, agreed, then please trouble Mr. Zhao to pass on the relevant arrangements to Potian, so that he will definitely handle this matter." Shi Da Kaidao.

"Yes, Lord Wang, the student thinks, General Guo will be very happy to hear it, and it will be endless fun to be able to lead Zeng Guofan's nose." Zhao Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, sir's words may be right in the world, ha, ha." After Shi Dakai finished speaking, there was another burst of daxiao.

Shi Dakai is laughing more and more now, no wonder, everything is going well, can he not be happy? (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 ......)
