When Zeng San went out of the city, it was also the time when Li Hongzhang decided to wait for them for two more hours, and these two hours were also the time to decide the fate of all parties. Whether it was the main force of the Hunan army led by Li Hongzhang, or Zeng Guoquan who stayed at the gate of the city, or even the Qing army, everyone was very nervous, but they had to wait patiently.

Among them, the most nervous is Zeng Guoquan, he prayed in his heart, hoping that everything would go well, but people are not as good as heaven, and accidents still happened.

Shortly after Zeng San left, one of Zeng Guoquan's personal soldiers ran to see Zeng Guoquan in a panic and told Zeng Guoquan that one of his own companions had suddenly been arrested by the Black Armor Army for some unknown reason.

When Zeng Guoquan heard this, his face changed greatly, and he had a premonition that something was going to happen. He hurriedly asked the soldier what the hell was going on.

According to the recollections of his own soldiers, he was defending the castle tower with his companion, when suddenly, several black-armored soldiers came up to them, told his companion that they suspected him of being a spies, and then arrested him directly.

Zeng Guoquan asked again, has this captured soldier been to any place during this time, and has seen anyone... Wait a minute. The soldier shook his head, indicating that there was nothing, and he said that he and this companion had always been inseparable from Meng, Meng was not defocused, and this companion did not say anything that should not be said at all, and did not do anything that should not be done.

After hearing this, Zeng Guoquan felt that this matter was indeed very strange, since there was nothing to do, why did this black armor army arrest him for no reason, could it be that there was nothing to do, and besides, none of them arrested, they ran over directly and arrested this person. This can only show one point, that is, the Qing army has the evidence that determines that this person is a spy.

But what Zeng Guoquan can't be sure of is how much does the Qing army know?

However, no matter how much the Qing army knows, one thing, Zeng Guoquan can be sure that the Qing army is at least suspicious, and arresting people is a precursor, that is, if they have no evidence, they hope to further confirm their suspicions from the mouth of the arrested person, which also proves that Zeng Guoquan is in danger.

When the interruption continues, but suffers from the chaos, Zeng Guoquan knows that there is not much time for him to think too much, if the Qing army really pries something out of the mouth of the pro-soldier, they must take thunderous means, and they will definitely not give themselves any chance to fight back.

So, instead of sitting back and waiting, give it a try. Fight, there is a way out, if you don't fight, you can only wait for death.

Zeng Guoquan gritted his teeth and decided not to wait for Zeng San's news and launched it in advance.

Then, one after another orders were passed to the Hunan troops in various positions, Zeng Guoquan ordered everyone to find their own targets and prepare to do so.

Zeng Guoquan's target is Vice General Naning. As the saying goes, shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before the king. After killing Deputy General Ning, the defenders at the gate of this city will fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless, and the Hunan army will take the initiative in this battle.

But how to make this Ning deputy general arrested, Zeng Guoquan fell into deep thought.

Soon after, Zeng Guoquan came up with a good plan, so he no longer delayed the time, and directly found Deputy General Ning.

"General, I have a bottle of good bamboo leaf green here, I wonder if the general is interested in tasting it together?" A moment later, in Vice General Ning's tent, Zeng Guoquan, who was holding a fine wine, appeared in front of him with a smile.

After Zeng Guoquan finished speaking, he pulled out the wine stopper, and in an instant, a thick aroma of wine wafted out, refreshing and intoxicating.

Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk. Vice General Ning's eyes were also staring at the wine bottle in Zeng Guoquan's hand, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zhao, where did Brother Zhao find such a good wine, which makes people feel excited when they see it, and they are greedy when they smell it."

Zeng Guoquan is known as Zhao Da here, Zeng San is known as Li San, and Zeng San mentioned to Vice General Ning and the squad leader of the Black Armor Army that if he is not there, this Zhao Da will lead these soldiers under him, so Vice General Ning is also familiar with this Zhao Da.

"Vice General Ning, I know that Vice General Ning must be a person who knows the goods." Zeng Guoquan stretched out his thumb and patted Vice General Ning's ass.

"How dare you, how dare you, although Ben Jiang didn't dare to say the word "knowledge", but he thinks he is a person in the wine road, loves wine, and prefers to have two sips. Wine, in a word, hobby, just a hobby, heh, heh." Vice General Ning's words were a bit insincere, which can be proved by the fact that his gaze never left the wine bottle in Zeng Guoquan's hand for a moment

Seeing Vice General Ning's greedy look, Zeng Guoquan felt amused. But that's what he wants, isn't that what he wants? It seems that the fish has taken the bait.

"General, how about two bites?" Zeng Guoquan knocked on the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile.

"This, this is not very good, there is a prohibition of alcohol in the army, if you violate the order, it is a violation of military law." Vice General Ning waved his hand again and again, using the military order as an excuse, but he stared at the wine bottle in Zeng Guoquan's hand.

"General, why not, it's just a drink or two, and besides, you know, I know, God knows, the earth knows, I don't say it, if you don't say it, no one will know it, what do you say?" Zeng Guoquan smiled.

"Really?" Vice General Ning looked at Zeng Guoquan pitifully.

"Yes, the general can drink it with confidence." Zeng Guoquan said with a smile.

"Okay, but, let's say it in advance, you must not be greedy for a cup, you can drink two glasses, you can drink two glasses, ha......ha..."

After laughing, Adjutant General Ning instructed the guards outside, he was dealing with urgent military affairs, and during this time, no one was allowed to disturb him without his orders.

This guy is really thoughtful.

After a while, the two of them sat down on the ground and began to push the cups and change the lamps.

After three glasses of wine, Vice General Ning's words increased, boasting vigorously about how capable he was, complaining vigorously, how unfair the court was to him, and so on.

Zeng Guoquan echoed vigorously, kept drinking, and after the last, a ten-pound bamboo leaf green was drunk by the two, of course, most of it was drunk by Vice General Ning. Then again, if everyone drinks two glasses like Vice General Ning, then no amount of family wealth is enough.

However, Zeng Guoquan didn't care, he just hoped that Vice General Ning would drink more, the more the better, and it was best to drink to death, so that he would not have to do it when the time came.

At the end of the day, Vice General Ning was already drunk and unconscious, like a pile of mud, spread on the ground and fainted, and the huge sound shook Zeng Guoquan's ears numb.

Zeng Guoquan looked at the mud on the ground, smiled, and was about to step forward to make a move, but as a result, Deputy General Ning, who knows, a loud shout made Zeng Guoquan stop the movements in his hand.

"General, General...... There is an emergency military situation." Outside the guards said.

Vice Admiral Ning had already instructed him not to disturb him without his permission, but now, this guard committed a crime against the wind and came to report it regardless of his order, it seems that the matter is imminent.

"What's the matter? The general is busy, what's the matter, you can talk outside." Zeng Guoquan is majestic and authentic.

When outsiders heard this, they knew that General Lu Dao was very unhappy.

"Yes, yes, disturb the general, the small sin is unforgivable, but the military situation is urgent, the small one has to be reported, and the general is asked to forgive the sin. General, according to the Malay report, the Taiping army was found outside the city." The guards hurried.

"Well, the general knows." Zeng Guoquan heard that the Taiping army had arrived, and his heart was ecstatic, but his voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"General, the commander of the Black Armor Army is waiting for you on the city wall, please go and negotiate a defensive strategy." The guard couldn't help but add, seeing that their general was not worried about the enemy situation at all.

"Okay, the general knows what to do, the general has his own decision, and he still needs you to teach." Zeng Guoquan pretended to be angry.

"Yes, yes...", after a barrage of cannons, the guards stopped speaking.

The handsome man finally came, Zeng Guoquan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the time to do it after the most reluctance had come. He stared at Vice General Ning who was spread on the ground twice, laughed twice, and raised the dagger in his hand. (To be continued.)
