After cleaning up the mess, Zuo Zongtang led the firearms corps to escort Bush and others towards Shuntianfu, and when he arrived at the city gate, he vaguely saw that it seemed that Huang Xu was leading people to meet him at the city gate.

Zuo Zongtang was shocked, thinking that he was dazzled, he hurriedly rode his horse and rushed forward a little, he wanted to see more clearly, he didn't think about it, he only ran a few steps, the horse had already reported, and it was Huang Xu who led the crowd to greet Zuo Zongtang at the door.

Zuo Zongtang was shocked, Huang Xu greeted him personally, this was repaid, he hurriedly explained the matter of escort to the general Li Yuandu, and then led several other cadres under him to break away from the brigade and gallop towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Zuo Zongtang saw that it was Huang Xu who was waiting for him at the door, he immediately rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and walked quickly towards Huang Xu, Huang Xu also smiled and greeted him, Zuo Zongtang walked to about two meters away from Huang Xu, clasped his fists with both hands, knelt down on one knee, and wanted to salute Huang Xu, who knew that Huang Xu stepped forward with an arrow, supported Zuo Zongtang's arms with both hands, and then smiled: "Why should Brother Zuo be polite."

"The marshal welcomes him personally, how dare the last general." Zuo Zongtang couldn't bow down this time, he could only bow slightly, still clasping his fists and saluting Huang Xu respectfully.

"Ha, ha, Brother Zuo built such an extraordinary feat, don't say that he went out of the city to greet him, even if he led the horse and whipped for Brother Zuo, it was okay." Huang Xu laughed and laughed.

When Zuo Zongtang heard this, his face changed, and he said with a little trepidation: "Marshal, the last general really doesn't dare to be a marshal, don't you want the life of the last general?" The last general will not dare, I really don't dare."

Whipping a horse? How dare Zuo Zongtang, he knows better than anyone else what kind of person Huang Xu is, in Zuo Zongtang's mind, Huang Xu is already a king, and he is just a minister, how can he ever see a king leading a horse for a minister, isn't that a change in the sky, Zuo Zongtang doesn't dare, he really doesn't dare.

"Haha, Brother Zuo, you deserve it, you deserve it." Huang Xu laughed again, stretched out his hand and patted Zuo Zongtang's shoulders, and then raised his thumb and said.

The reason why Huang Xu treated Zuo Zongtang so politely was naturally for a reason.

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing court, my China was like a piece of fat in the mouth of the great powers, whoever was greedy, could come up and bite two bites, and the people on the land of China suffered from the bullying of the great powers, and their hearts were filled with infinite humiliation and grief, but the Qing court was too incompetent, and the people of China could only endure their anger and vomit, knock out their teeth, and swallow them in their stomachs, what a pain it was.

However, Zuo Zongtang fought today, not only defeated the invincible coalition of powers, but also captured the supreme commander of the coalition alive.

If the people of China learn of this exciting good news today, they will definitely rejoice and cheer for Zuo Zongtang and the Taiping Army to achieve such a victory.

Therefore, with this matter as a foreshadowing, Huang Xu led the horse for Zuo Zongtang or something, what is it, that is, let Huang Xu wash the footsteps for Zuo Zongtang, Huang Xu will never say half a word, because Zuo Zongtang has done a good deed for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the people of the whole world, a great good deed, and he deserves anyone to do anything for him.

"The marshal treats the last general so well, even if the last general is willing to be ruined, it is not enough to repay it." Zuo Zongtang said excitedly.

Huang Xu's behavior, in the eyes of later generations, is no more common, since everyone is destined to walk together, then they should be equal, and they should be reassured, but in Zuo Zongtang's view, it is too sensational, in his eyes, what kind of person is Huang Xu, what is his master, what kind of person is he, he is Huang Xu's courtier, he is a courtier, how dare to have a blind friendship with Huang Xu, who is the master, is not completely inferior, and this is what he Zuo Zongtang can never do, He Zuo Zongtang must strictly abide by the duties of his subordinates and be loyal to Huang Xu.

"Okay, Brother Zuo, don't you just praise you twice, why do you bother to go online, if you want me to say, don't think of me as the marshal of these three armies today, you just treat me as your brother, between brothers, should you know everything and say everything?" Huang Xu waved his hand and said disappreciably.

He didn't prepare to treat himself as a marshal today, and he didn't prepare to let Zuo Zongtang take the courtesy of his subordinates, he just wanted to leave all the Yiqiē behind him today, and have a good relationship with Zuo Zongtang like a brother, because he was so happy in his heart, he was so happy.

"The last will not dare." Zuo Zongtang is still holding on to his heart, and Yumu's head is just not open.

"Brother Zuo, how can you be like this?" Huang Xu felt that he had hit a soft nail a little.

"Marshal, there will be a request at the end, I wonder if you will agree to it?" Zuo Zongtang did not continue Huang Xu's words, but took care of himself.

"Say!" Huang Xu said cheerfully.

At this time, Mo said that it was a request, that is, a hundred requests, and Huang Xu would not hesitate to agree to Zuo Zongtang.

"You, can you not call the last general the left brother in the future?" Zuo Zongtang squeaked for a long time, and popped out a sentence that made Huang Xu a little confused.

"Why?" Huang Xu blurted out.

Huang Xu felt that this Zuo Zongtang was a little weird.

"You are a marshal, if you call the last general Zuo brother, the last general is indeed a little unbearable, or you can't accept it calmly." Zuo Zongtang Zhengsedao.

He took the distinction between the superior and the inferior too important.

"Brother Zuo, why are you doing this?" How could Huang Xu not know the truth of Zuo Zongtang's thoughts, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said.

Huang Xu felt that the people of this era were really poisoned too deeply by those feudal thoughts, so. He's always trying to make some changes, especially for the people around him.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain, and he was particularly pleased that although the effect was not great, it still changed some after all, for example, Zhao Xiaofeng, Zeng Guofan and others, they more or less accepted some of Huang Xu's views, although they still insisted on it, and the bottom line was not broken, but after all, they still made changes, which made Huang Xu very happy.

Maybe Zuo Zongtang also has his own insistence like them, or rather, his insistence is also equivalent to a belief, and this kind of thing cannot be touched or destroyed casually.

Although Huang Xu is a little helpless about this, he will also understand. This is just like the era in which he lived, many people had their own beliefs and pursuits, some believed in the Three People's Principles, some believed in communism, some believed in the Western set of democracy, the idea of fraternity, some believed in Jesus Christ, some believed in the Islam of Muhammad, and some believed in the queen, the emperor or something.

And these things themselves have their own subtleties, Huang Xu can fully understand.

"Marshal, please also promise the last general." Zuo Zongtang looked at Huang Xu with pleading eyes.

"Okay, I promise you, but I have a request." Huang Xu added a little forehearth.

'Marshal, please.' Zuo Zongtang said respectfully.

"Since you don't want me to be called Brother Zuo, then, in return, you don't have to call me a marshal anymore." Huang Xu sighed and said.

"What? Why?" Zuo Zongtang was shocked.

Zuo Zongtang's surprise was not trivial, he simply had the urge to be stupid by Huang Xu's statement. If he didn't call Huang Xu a marshal, then what to call, he didn't dare to think about it.

"Zong Tang, don't panic, it's not what you think, I mean, you will be like the handsome people in the future, and call me the master of the horse in private." Huang Xu smiled and said.

"Yes, marshal." Zuo Zongtang was a little moved.

Zuo Zongtang knew in his heart that the reason why Huang Xu said this was because he regarded him as his own person, Zuo Zongtang felt that it was his luck to meet such a master, so. He secretly decided that he must work hard in the future, in order to repay Huang Xu for his kindness.

"Zong Tang, don't you remember what I told you so quickly, what are you going to call me, not the marshal." Huang Xu said with a smile.

Listening to Huang Xu's words, Zuo Zongtang's brain short-circuited for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Marshal, no, Master Horse, the last general remembers, the last general has to call you Master Horse."

"That's right." Huang Xu said happily.

Zuo Zongtang touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and smiled.

Such Zuo Zongtang. It looks like there's still a little bit of a corps commander.

"Okay, Zongtang, tell me about this battle." Huang Xu began to ask about the situation of this battle with the foreigners.

"Yes." When Zuo Zongtang saw Huang Xu asking, he remembered that he almost forgot about business.

As a result, Zuo Zongtang narrated all the experiences of this battle to Huang Xu as it was, especially when it came to Bush's surrender, he still felt a little surprised.

After hearing this, Huang Xu nodded, and said: "Zong Tang, you don't know foreigners, these foreign devils, they regard life as more important than anything else, they don't think that surrender is a shameful behavior, on the contrary, they think it's normal, surrender if you can't win, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, when there is a chance in the future, they will fight again, if they lose their lives, then what's the point of saying anything else?"

"What Master Ma said makes sense, but there will be a question in the end, and I don't know whether to ask it or not." Zuo Zongtang is a little dodgy.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." HUANG Xudao.

"The master of the horse is really knowledgeable, but Zong Tang wants to ask, has the master of the horse also had communication with foreigners in the past, and how can he know so clearly about the affairs of foreigners?" Zuo Zongtang said curiously.

He's really just curious.

"This, this......" Huang Xu didn't know how to answer him as well.

"Master Ma forgives his sins, and he will talk a lot in the end." Seeing that Huang Xu wanted to speak and stopped, Zuo Zongtang said busily.

As a subordinate, talking to his master like this, isn't that tantamount to questioning his master, that's okay, Zuo Zongtang was impulsive when he asked this, and then he figured out this reason, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Huang Xu didn't think about it so much, he glanced at Zuo Zongtang very strangely, and said: "Forgive what sin, what are you guilty of, don't you just ask too many words, don't get in the way, as for the question you asked, I can sue you, I see it from the book."

Huang Xu can only say nonsense, could it be that he sued Zuo Zongtang, he is not from this era, is he from the Republic of China, but, then again, even if he really says this, I'm afraid Zuo Zongtang won't believe him, because this is too outrageous, how could such a thing happen.

Zuo Zongtang thanked Huang Xu for his innocence, and then he didn't dare to say more.

Huang Xu looked at Zuo Zongtang and understood what was going on, so he no longer dwelled on the topic just now, and asked directly about the situation of the foreigners: "How about the casualties of the foreigners?"

"There weren't many dead and wounded, we just fired a few shots and then surrendered them." Zuo Zongtang's face was strange and authentic.

He wanted to laugh when he said this, he never thought that this foreigner would be so.

"It's good if there aren't many casualties, it's good if there aren't many casualties, and I'll be of great use if I keep these foreigners." Huang Xu nodded, inexplicably authentic.

Zuo Zongtang showed a puzzled look.

Huang Xu patted Zuo Zongtang's shoulder again and said, "You don't need to ask too much, you'll know in a few days."

"Yes, Master Horse, Zong Tang is troublesome again." Zuo Zongtang Road.

"No, Zongtang, I don't know how to tell you for the time being because there are a lot of things I haven't thought through, maybe just a few more days, and you will be clear about everything." HUANG Xudao.

Zuo Zongtang nodded.

"Zong Tang, find a place for these foreigners in the city, settle down well, eat and drink well, don't kill them, the value of these foreigners is not small now." Huang Xu has something to say in his words.

'Obey the orders of the Horse Master.' Zuo Zongtang saw that Huang Xu said cautiously, how dare he slack off, he could only be extremely solemn and authentic.

"Okay, this is over, next, what we have to do, that is, drink, and get drunk, go, Zongtang, Shuntian Mansion, everything is ready, just wait for you." Huang Xu said suddenly.

"Master Horse..."Zuo Zongtang was very moved.

He felt that Huang Xu was really thoughtful.

"Let's go, let's get drunk today." Huang Xu shouted loudly.

"I won't disappoint the horse master." Zuo Zongtang is also a real man, he has wine to drink, and he drinks it with the people he admires, and he is full of energy.

"Okay, it's not a loss to Zuo Zongtang in the northwest." Huang Xu punched Zuo Zongtang in the chest, and then laughed to himself.

Zuo Zongtang heard Huang Xu's words. I smiled embarrassedly. And. His smile was a smile of great joy from the bottom of his heart, he felt. It is right to submit to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. And there is nothing wrong with following Huang Xu by himself. He's so happy.

And everyone who followed the two of them laughed too.

It's a happy laugh.

Huang Xu hugged Zuo Zongtang and walked towards the city, laughing as he walked. (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 passes, your support is my biggest motivation ......)
