After Huang Xu sent someone to send the letter of persuasion into the palace, he began to wait patiently for Xianfeng's reaction.

"Big brother, I think you are doing this for nothing, a person like Xianfeng, he will listen to our persuasion, impossible." Yao Dahong, who was following Huang Xu, said to Huang Xu.

He didn't understand Huang Xu's approach too much, he felt that it was in vain and thankless.

"Dahong, no matter what, it's right to work hard, if you can succeed, it's good, if you can't, it's not too late to attack again, the war is going on to this part, and it is the most important thing for us to die less." Huang Xu spoke earnestly.

Yes, this civil war has been fought for so long, wasting countless lives and money and food, and it should be time to slow down, Huang Xu knows better than anyone else that they are happy to fight here, in fact, it is the foreigners who are really happy, it is those who have ill intentions, they hope that the civil war in the land of China is best fought every day, from time to time, so that they can fish in troubled waters, and they can reap the benefits.

Huang Xu can't be this kind of fool, so this is why he took the initiative to fight with Xianfeng, in this world, there are not many people who are really as far-sighted as Huang Xu, or rather, there are no people like Huang Xu who can know the past and the future.

"My subordinates agree with the statement of the master of the horse, when the war is fought, our main enemy is no longer the Qing court, but the surrounding countries that surround China, and things will be bright for a long time, and we really have to take a long-term view." Zhao Xiaofeng also came out from time to time to echo Huang Xu's words.

"Mr. Zhao is right, or Mr. Zhao knows me." Huang Xu clapped his hands and said.

Yes, after this good thing, they have to start preparing for foreign wars, foreign wars, this is the top priority that Huang Xu cares about now.

Since the establishment of the Firearms Corps, Huang Xu has not taken the Qing army and such a foreign army very seriously, and in terms of strength, they are far from being the opponents of the Taiping Army. Not to mention the powerful Taiping Army, that is, with a newly established firearms corps, it can easily take the Qing Army and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army now stationed in China.

Of course, some people will say that the foreigners also have the backing, and they can send troops from the motherland to support, yes, this is true, there is a certain truth, but it is also far water can not save the near fire.

If the oceanic countries far away in Europa want to send a large army to fight in the hinterland of China, they need to cross the ocean and cross the ocean, and this is the only one. It seems a bit unrealistic that they will be challenged by all kinds of headwinds. Nor is it possible to do it in the short term.

Therefore, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the real opponents are only the surrounding countries, and among these countries, the more powerful ones are the Japanese thieves in the east, Korea and Russia in the north, and India in the south.

"Then I want to ask Mr. Zhao, what is the possibility of Xianfeng's surrender?" Yao Dahong is still a little unwilling. He set his sights on Zhao Xiaofeng again. And the tone is a bit unkind.

"Zero points." Zhao Xiaofeng was also unambiguous, and simply said the truth.

'Zero?' Yao Dahong was stunned.

"In my opinion, it is impossible for Xianfeng to surrender, think about it, he is the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, if he surrenders, where will his lofty self-esteem be put in the future, so, I am sure, he will definitely not surrender." Zhao Xiaofeng is very sure of authenticity.

He had long expected that this would be the end, and the reason why he cooperated with Huang Xu to persuade Xianfeng to surrender was that, as Huang Xu said, they were doing their best, obeying the destiny of heaven, and doing what they thought they should do.

"I'm really convinced of you, since I already know that I am doing useless work, I still have to do it, I am really full of food and support, and I have nothing to do." Yao Dahong teased.

"Da Hong, shut up, how can you talk to Mr. Zhao like this, he did the right thing." Huang Xu saw that Yao Dahong was more and more disagreeable, so he had to come forward and stop talking.

"Yes, big brother." As soon as Huang Xu spoke up, Yao Dahong immediately stopped talking and stopped talking.

"Ha, it's okay, it's okay, Da Hong is just joking, just kidding, don't you say, Da Hong?" Zhao Xiaofeng played a round on the side.

"Yes, big brother, I'm just joking with Mr. Zhao." Yao Dahong saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately said.

After Yao Dahong finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xiaofeng gratefully, and thought, this old Zhao is really interesting.

"Okay, that's the end of it, let's see how Xianfeng reacts." HUANG Xudao.

A few people stopped talking and waited for Xianfeng's reply.

Xianfeng's decision was still not as they expected, when Tanma reported to Huang Xu that the Qing army had strengthened its defenses and looked like it was going to be desperate, Huang Xu knew Xianfeng's decision, which meant that a big war was inevitable.

"Mr. Zhao, as expected, he was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and he could only solve it by force." Although Huang Xu was unwilling, he was helpless, because the only thing he could do was to end the heart-wrenching civil war as soon as possible.

"Master Horse, what should be done, we have done it, it can only be a war." Zhao Xiaofeng nodded and said.

"Okay, let's fight, try to fight as quickly as possible." HUANG Xudao.

He didn't want the war to last too long.

"Master Pony, please allow me to take full command of this battle." Zeng Guofan on the side asked for help.

Huang Xu looked at Zeng Guofan and thought. This Xianfeng Dynasty has lived steadily for so many years with the support of Zeng Guofan, it can be said that it is in his hands, and now it can be ended in his hands, which can be regarded as completing a reincarnation, and there should be no better ending than this.

"Okay, then ask the commander to take full command of this battle, and I will cheer you on later." Huang Xu figured out the key to this, smiled slightly, and agreed to Zeng Guofan's request.

"Thank you, Master Ma. Please wait for the good news. Zeng Guofan was full of confidence.

Cleaning up the remnants of the Qing army, Zeng Guofan felt that this was an easy matter, the reason why he wanted to ask for his life, maybe as Huang Xu said, he had a Qing courtier's plot that has not been officially broken, he used to be a courtier of the Qing court, trying his best to defend the Qing Dynasty, so now let the Qing Dynasty die in his hands, it can be regarded as an explanation of his own past.

Huang Xu nodded, revealing a trusting look, Zeng Guofan gratefully saluted Huang Xu with a fist, then turned his horse's head and ran towards the headquarters of the besieging army.

Not long after Zeng Guofan left, Huang Xu withdrew his eyes, looked at the distant sky, and said faintly: "Do you have any news from the foreigners?" ”

He seemed to be asking Yao Dahong when he said this.

Yao Dahong saw Huang Xu asking, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, I have received a report from Tanma, and an advance team of foreigners is hurrying towards the forbidden city under the leadership of Marshall. ”

"Oh, is there only one squad?" Huang Xu was a little surprised.

"The main force of the Eight-Nation Coalition led by Bush will also come later." Yao Dahong continued.

"Well, this is like the words, if only the small ones come, then the simplicity is not enough for us to stuff the teeth, then it is boring, the more the better, and strive to solve it at one time, so as not to trouble afterwards." Huang Xu said.

"That's it, I'm afraid we're going to disappoint the foreigners this time." Yao Dahong said with interest.

"That can't be helped, who made us strong." Huang Xu said helplessly.

If the foreigners heard this, they must have thought that Huang Xu was crazy.

"Dahong, pay close attention to the foreigners' every move, and report to me as soon as there is any latest news." Huang Xu is colorful.

"Yes, big brother." Yao Dahong said.

Although everyone is brothers, in business, Yao Dahong does not dare to be sloppy at all.

Huang Xu nodded, then turned his head to Zhao Xiaofeng and said, "Are you ready?" ”

"Don't worry, the big net has been opened, just waiting for the fish to take the bait." Zhao Xiaofeng said.

"It's really a bit of a victory, there's no way, who called us strong." Huang Xu's words were simply crazy.

"To be honest, this time, we have to thank Prince Gong, if it weren't for his extraordinary relationship with foreigners, foreigners would not have sent troops to help so quickly." Zhao Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Okay, just by virtue of this, after catching Prince Gong, you can not kill him, and he can be regarded as doing a good thing for us." Huang Xu said with a smile.

It turned out that Prince Gong was able to contact the foreigners smoothly, and it was Huang Xu who deliberately released water in them, and they deliberately let Prince Gong contact the foreigners, in order to use Prince Gong's hand to attract foreigners to help, and in the end, Prince Gong got into Huang Xu's trap, and he also thought that he had unknowingly made an immortal contribution to the Qing Dynasty.

All of them were advancing according to the trajectory set by the Taiping Army. (To be continued......)
