Chapter 253: Agreeing to a meeting

Zeng Guofan, together with Zeng Guohua, did not go too far, but they encountered the main force of the Qing army led by Li Hongzhang and others. After pacifying the crowd for a while, Zeng Guofan ordered the generals to camp on the spot and wait for the next move.

In the manager's account, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zeng Guohua were sitting.

"Strategist, what do you think about this?" When Zeng Guohua finished telling Guo Potian what Guo Potian asked him to convey on his behalf, Zeng Guofan looked at Li Hongzhang and said.

"Dashuai, this matter is very tricky, if you believe in Guo Potian, if this is a trap set by him, we may fall into a state of no return, if we don't believe him, then we will not waste a great opportunity to surrender without a fight, a dilemma." Li Hongzhang sighed.

"Marshal, military advisor, the last general thinks it's credible, just like Guo Potian, whether it's true or not, the last general can still tell it." Zeng Guohua really did what he said, no, listening to his tone, he really became a lobbyist for Guo Potian.

"Well, so sure, tell me your reasoning." Zeng Guofan doesn't know Zeng Guohua yet, he knows that he has those two brushes, if it is about fighting, there is nothing to say, but when it comes to doing these fine jobs, he is still far away, so Zeng Guofan did not take Zeng Guohua's words seriously, but since he wants to say it, he can't lose his interest.

"First, the last general guessed, Guo Potian already knew that the marshal was in the forward camp of the last general, if he really wanted to make the marshal, I'm afraid we can't talk here at this moment, second, even if this is a trap set by Guo Potian, then we have to be willing to jump down, isn't it just a meeting, talk, it's not a big deal, this time, place, etc., it's not that we have the final say, Guo Potian They can't make any waves, third, the current situation, we are all very clear, indeed as Guo Potian said, His words are true, so there is no reason why the Admiral should not believe him." If before this, someone said that Zeng Guohua was a brave man, then there might not be many people who opposed it, but listening to Zeng Guohua's views today, who would dare to say that he could only be brave.

This is exactly the case, after listening to Zeng Guohua's words, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang looked at each other, they didn't expect that Zeng Guohua would have such an opinion, which really didn't surprise them.

"Congratulations, Shuai." Li Hongzhang suddenly said to Zeng Guofan without a head.

"Oh, military advisor, where does the joy come from?" Zeng Guofandao.

"General Guohua is a brave general, and a brave general can know strategy, this is the blessing of the marshal, how can the students not congratulate the marshal." Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

"Ha, ha, ha, the military advisor is reasonable, reasonable." Zeng Guofan was stunned for a moment, and then he was also daxiao.

"Strategist, Marshal, what are you talking about, why can't the last general understand?" Zeng Guohua saw that Zeng Guofan and the two were a little wonderful, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Ha, ha..." When Zeng Guofan heard this, he was daxiao again, and Zeng Guohua, who was laughing, was even more confused, so he could only accompany them there and giggle.

"Strategist, your letter of praise hasn't been sent out yet, you see, the essence has been revealed, it seems that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change." Zeng Guofan sighed with emotion.

"Dashuai, you can't say that, at least that's a good sign." Li Hongzhang said.

"I hope so." Zeng Guofan is really still a little looking forward to it.

"Guohua, according to what you say, do you think we should give Guo Potian a chance and try to talk to him." Li Hongzhang smiled again and said to Zeng Guohua.

"Yes, the Admiral thinks so." Zeng Guohua Road.

"Dashuai, since Guohua is so confident, why don't we give it a try." Li Hongzhang also thinks that this thing can be tried.

"Okay, then give it a try." Zeng Guofan clapped the board.

"Great, then I'll go and inform Guo Potian." Zeng Guohua saw that Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan agreed on this matter, and hurriedly got up, wanting to inform Guo Potian of the good news.

Entrusted by people, loyal to people, this Zeng Guohua is really a straightforward man.

"Guohua, don't worry, don't worry, look at you, hurry again, listen to the military advisor first, if you go to inform Guo Potian like this, do you know what you said to him after you went, and how should you tell him?" Zeng Guofan skimmed Zeng Guohua's anxious look from the corner of his eye, and said a little unhappily.

"This..."Zeng Guohua didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to tell Guo Potian the good news as soon as possible, as for the rest, he really didn't think about it.

"Guohua, don't worry, I'll ask you first." Li Hongzhang said.

"Yes, Strategist, you ask." Zeng Guohua Road.

"Where do you think we should meet Guo Potian?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"This, this, this is still the decision of the military division and the marshal, but the last general is here to guarantee that the last general will ensure the safety of the military division and the marshal." Zeng Guohua Road.

"What do you think of meeting Guo Potian in our camp?" Li Hongzhang said in a consultative tone.

"Okay, but I'm afraid that Guo Potian won't dare to come." Zeng Guohua was happy for a while when he heard that he had met Guo Potian in his camp, so that the safety of the marshal was guaranteed, but he was faintly worried that Guo Potian would not dare to come.

"Do you think he'll come if we're kindly invited?" Li Hongzhang said.

"I can't guarantee this general, but we can try to communicate with him and convince him to come." Zeng Guohua Road.

"Very well, that's it, and if we set the time for the morning after tomorrow, do you think there is a problem?" Li Hongzhang asked again.

"This has to be negotiated with Guo Potian." Zeng Guohua said without thinking.

"Okay, very good, General Guohua, the marshal and I want to appoint you as the liaison for this meeting with Guo Potian, what do you think?" Li Hongzhang smiled and said.

"Me? No, the Admiral doesn't think that's appropriate." Zeng Guohua was taken aback, and then he realized that Li Hongzhang would ask him so many questions, and he had a good relationship, so he wanted to do things by himself.

"No, I think it's very appropriate, first, you have been familiar with Guo Potian since you came, second, you have a positive position on our talk with Guo Potian, third, you know a lot about the causes and consequences of this meeting, and fourth, you have a general understanding of how to deal with Guo Potian, so you are the most suitable person." Li Hongzhang's reasons are quite strong.

"This, this..."Zeng Guohua felt that this was a discussion with himself, this was obviously digging a pit and letting himself jump down.

"Why, you don't agree, this idea is yours, who will go if you don't go, the commander is right, you are the most suitable person." Zeng Guofan also means this.

It seems that this really can't give people ideas casually, no, as soon as this idea comes out, it will be given to himself, and it is taken for granted, it is really reasonable and can't be explained, Zeng Guohua thought.

"How's that, Guohua, what do you think?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"Is there a choice for the last general?" Zeng Guohua said with a bitter face.

"No, it's best to go, if you don't go, you have to go." Zeng Guofan said it more directly.

"You're chasing ducks to the shelves." Zeng Guohua muttered quietly.

"What did you say??" Zeng Guofan raised his voice.

"No, no, the last general didn't say anything, the last general said, go, the last general is willing to go, for the sake of the handsome, for the victory of Zuihou, for the peace of mankind, the last general will not give up even if he is broken." Looking at Zeng Guohua's expression, first he was helpless, and then he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he shouted what kind of human peace, it was really interesting.

"Heh, heh, don't get me wrong, we didn't mean to force you, so you don't have to put on a look as if you want to be heroic and righteous, first of all, let me declare, I, I can't stand it, ha, ha..."

Zeng Guofan is also a burst of daxiao.

Zeng Guohua didn't know what he had done wrong, what he said wrong, why was this military advisor and the commander so strange, he had to daxiao for a while at every turn, he was really sick. Of course, he can only say these words in his heart, he doesn't have the courage to blatantly say to the two, you two, if you are sick, you have to see a doctor. If this is the case, then Zeng Guohua may really want to go to the doctor alive.

However, then again, Zeng Guohua's liaison is decided, who called him so enthusiastic? (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 ......)
