Chapter 251: Supervising the Battle Ahead
Zeng Guohua was shocked when he heard that Zeng Guofan was coming to his forward camp, he quickly gathered his personal guards and went up in the direction where Zeng Guofan came, he didn't go far before he met the men and horses led by Zeng Guofan, and after the necessary etiquette, he joined forces with Zeng Guofan to protect Zeng Guofan and returned to the forward camp.
"Dashuai, why are you here?" Zeng Guohua said nervously.
"Guohua, Ben Shuai is here to fight side by side with you." Zeng Guofan took a few steps forward, patted Zeng Guohua's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Marshal, how can this be, you are the commander of the three armies, it is very dangerous here, this in case, in case something goes wrong, how about you call the general." Zeng Guohua felt that Zeng Guofan's idea was not a good idea.
"Guohua, don't worry, isn't there still you, and the soldiers of the forward battalion, Ben Shuai believes in you." Zeng Guofan was relieved by Zeng Guohua Road.
"Dashuai, the last general is still not at ease, or, you should go to San'er, he has strong soldiers there, and Dashuai must be safe there." This is a big thing, and Zeng Guohua can't afford it.
"Guohua, Ben Shuai has been mentally prepared before he came this time, so don't say anything, you will treat Ben Shuai as a small soldier under your account, okay, you don't need to give Ben Shuai any special care, you can rest assured, Ben Shuai will not cause you any trouble." Zeng Guofan said with a smile.
"Dashuai, the last general didn't mean that, the last general is really worried about your safety." Zeng Guohua really didn't know how to say it to dispel Zeng Guofan's dangerous thoughts.
"Okay, that's it, don't say anything, what Ben Shuai decides, will never change." Zeng Guofan's words are very absolute.
"Yes, Marshal, since you insist on doing so, the last general will do everything in his power to keep you safe." At this point, Zeng Guohua understood that it was useless to say more, so he could only be vigilant and do his best to protect Zeng Guofan's safety.
"No, no, no, Ben Shuai is confident that he can still protect himself, the main purpose of this Shuai is to track the whereabouts of the thief with you, so don't take this Shuai as a key protection object, this Shuai has already made it clear, you should be regarded as a small soldier under your account, is it okay, General?" Zeng Guofan is serious and authentic.
"Dashuai, why are you doing this?" Zeng Guohua understood Zeng Guofan's mood very well, but he still felt that Zeng Guofan's doing this was meaningless.
"Guohua, okay, so be it." Zeng Guofan believes that there is no need to dwell on this issue anymore.
"Okay, big marshal, I won't say much about the general, it's just that the military advisor still has a word for the general to bring to you." Zeng Guohua Road.
"You say." Zeng Guofandao.
"The military advisor said, please remember that you are the commander of the three armies." Zeng Guohua Road.
"Hey, this military advisor, just talk about it yourself, and pass on the message to you, let you say it too, really..."Zeng Guofan listened to it, smiled and shook his head.
"Marshal, the military advisor is also worried about your safety." Zeng Guohua Road.
"Okay, don't mention these again, you first tell Ben Shuai about the situation on the front line, do you have any discoveries?" Zeng Guofandao.
"Marshal, since the last time the empty camp of the anti-thieves was discovered, the last general has led the forward battalion to search and advance day and night, and so far, nothing has been found." Zeng Guohua Road.
"Ben Shuai really wonders, can these people really go to heaven and earth." Zeng Guofan racked his brains and couldn't figure out where the Taiping army would go.
"Dashuai, it can't really run away." Zeng Guohua said cautiously.
"Run? Where can they run, they can't run away from the monks, they can't run to the temple, Ben Shuai really doesn't believe that he can't catch them, Guohua, give the order, and march to Anqing Mansion at full speed." Zeng Guofandao.
"Yes, Sir." Zeng Guohua Road.
Zeng Guohua was about to give an order, and suddenly a sentry came to report, thirty miles ahead, and found the camp of the Daping army.
"Good boy, here again, give the order, the forward battalion will advance at full speed and attack the Taiping military camp." Zeng Guofan said excitedly.
"Dashuai, aren't we waiting for them?" Zeng Guohua refers to the main force of the Qing army.
"Don't wait." Zeng Guofan said briefly, and after a while, he added, "Send a message to them, and let them come at full speed."
"Yes, Sir." Zeng Guohua received the order.
Zeng Guohua went to assemble the team, and Zeng Guofan stayed in the tent alone. He kept walking around the tent, he was very anxious, he was afraid that if he delayed, the Taiping army would run away again, at this time, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to catch the Taiping army and break them into pieces. To tell the truth, he has been fighting with the Taiping army for many years, and there has never been a time when he hates the Taiping army so much as this time, his self-esteem has been greatly hurt, just imagine, when he has been teased like this, when has he been played with like this, his chest is full of anger, he swears, this time he will not let go of the Taiping army.
"Someone, where has General Guohua gone?" Zeng Guofan shouted.
"Qi Qi Marshal, the general is gathering the army, may I ask what the marshal commands?" The soldiers outside the tent came in and asked for instructions.
"No, no, you go down." Zeng Guofan waved away his own soldiers in an irritable mood, and his anxiety was overflowing.
He thinks that this Guohua is too unfavorable to do things, and it is also like this to gather a large army, if there is a war, then it will be repaid, and when Guohua comes back, he will talk about him well.
Just when Zeng Guofan was thinking nonsense, Zeng Guohua came back.
"Your Excellency, the army has been assembled, and you can set off immediately." Zeng Guohua said.
"Why is it so long?" Zeng Guofan said unhappily.
"Dashuai, we are fast enough, under normal circumstances, the assembly of a large army like the forward battalion requires at least half a pillar of incense, and today the time of half a pillar of incense has been assembled, it is already much faster than usual, if the marshal thinks it is not good enough, then okay, we will continue to improve, and strive to hurry up next time." Zeng Guohua saw that Zeng Guofan's face was very unhappy, and he hurriedly lowered his head and explained.
"Hmph, procrastinating, what is it like, can this fight, if the enemy army is coming, will they give you half a pillar of incense time to assemble? Is this how you usually lead troops..."When Zeng Guofan heard this, he was angry, and scolded Zeng Guohua with his head and face.
"Yes, yes, yes, we have mistakes, we change..."Zeng Guohua nodded vigorously, admitting his mistakes and promising to improve.
"Alright, alright, let's do this, since the team has been assembled, let's hurry up and give the order to go." Zeng Guofan didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, waved his hand, and asked Zeng Guohua to prepare to go.
"Yes, Marshal, the last general will immediately lead the team to set off." Zeng Guohua saluted Zeng Guofan and prepared to withdraw from the account.
"Wait, Ben Shuai will go with you." Zeng Guofandao.
"How can this work, Dashuai, this can't work." When Zeng Guohua heard Zeng Guofan say this, he immediately refused.
"What's not to do, do you mean to say that Ben Shuai is not as good as you, or is Ben Shuai not as good as an ordinary soldier?" Zeng Guofan stiffened his face and said.
"No, no, no, you know that the last general doesn't mean that, doesn't mean that." Zeng Guohua said with a smile.
He understands that Zeng Guofan is really unhappy during this time, so no matter how picky Zeng Guofan is and how he scolds him, he has made up his mind, he can't scold back, he can't fight back, as long as the handsome man is happy, let him do anything.
"And what do you mean?" Zeng Guofan is still unrelenting.
"The last general said, this kind of trivial matter of charging into battle, there is only a last general to go, and the commander only needs to sit in the formation and command." Zeng Guohua Road.
"Then why did Ben Shuai come to your forward battalion, Ben Shuai is here to charge into battle." Zeng Guofan said loudly.
"This, this, Dashuai, aren't you embarrassed?" Zeng Guohua said with a bitter face.
"It's hard for you, why are you embarrassed, Ben Shuai is helping you, isn't one more person a liliang? Do you look down on Ben Shuai and think that Ben Shuai will drag you down?" Zeng Guofan's face stretched long, and he said.
"No, no, no, Dashuai, you misunderstood, that's not what the general meant." Zeng Guohua knows that it is useless to say more, on this occasion today, and with Zeng Guofan's mood today, whatever he says may be wrong.
"That's not what you mean, what do you mean?" This Zeng Guofan is still riveting with Zeng Guohua.
"Dashuai, it's the general's mistake." Zeng Guohua can only admit his mistakes.
"You're wrong, that is, agreeing to Ben Shuai's going, right?" Zeng Guofan continued.
"Yes, Sir." Zeng Guohua hung his head and said dejectedly.
"Okay, okay, don't cry with a sad face, Ben Shuai is not dead yet." Zeng Guofan said impatiently.
"Dashuai, the last general will not dare." Zeng Guohua exclaimed.
"Okay, time waits for no one, if it drags on any longer, the thief is really going to run, Guohua, let's go." Zeng Guofan is not willing to waste any more time to fight with Zeng Guohua.
"Yes." Zeng Guohua Road.
So, Zeng Guohua and Zeng Guofan went out of the account together and led the forward battalion and the personal guards to attack the Taiping military camp. (To be continued.)
