Chapter 268: Monk Grinqin is in trouble
When Huang Xu returned to his big tent, Yao Dahong and the other five brothers were already sitting with Zhao Xiaofeng and Li Xiucheng, obviously waiting for him for a long time.
When everyone saw Huang Xu come in, they all stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite, what's the matter, people are coming so together, is there anything urgent?" Huang Xu motioned to everyone not to be polite, and asked curiously.
"Big brother, according to the latest information, the Qing court has appointed a new commander, and has also sent reinforcements, it seems that he is preparing to fight us to the death in Hefei." Yao Dahong and Liu Yuhua glanced at each other, and Yao Dahong said loudly.
"The new manager, who??" Huang Xu asked.
"Iron Hat King, Monk Grinqin." Yao Dahong said cautiously.
"Monk Greenqin, is that the Monk Greenqin, who is known as the first warrior of Manchuria?" Huang Xu said casually.
"Exactly, Master Horse, we can't take it lightly, I heard that this person is a man of all talents, and is very good at leading troops, Xianfeng relies on him as his right-hand man, this person is generally with Xianfeng, if there is no major event, this person will not be in person. He actually came to Hefei in person this time, presumably because the Qing court already knew that the situation was urgent, so we had better be careful." Seeing that Huang Xu didn't seem to pay much attention, Zhao Xiaofeng on the side couldn't help but remind.
"Yes, big brother, Mr. Zhao is very worried." Wang Xiaoyong is the same opinion.
"I'm afraid of his ball, isn't it Monk Greenqin, master, as long as I wave my hand lightly, it's not a hand-to-hand capture, big brother, brothers, you don't have to worry so much, little brother will sneak into Hefei City, and capture Monk Greenqin's old man, so that you don't worry about it all day long." You don't need to look at it, listen to the tone of this speech, and you will know that the East is not confused.
"Dongfang, you are talking nonsense here again, you know what it will be like to fight and kill every day." Wang Xiaoyong scolded.
Dongfang was not confused and was most afraid of Wang Xiaoyong, and as soon as he heard Wang Xiaoyong's voice, he quickly shrank back.
"Big brother, what do you say?" At this time, it was Tian Xiaoer who spoke.
"The words of the East are not impossible, it depends on whether the disposition of this monk and the surrounding environment are beneficial to us." Huang Xu thought for a while and said.
Dongfang is not confused reminded Huang Xu, the current Qing camp, because the matter of Zeng Guofan has become a pot of porridge, if there is no monk Greenqin, Hefei may not be able to support it for too long, but if this monk Greenqin is as people say, there is indeed real material, maybe after his rectification, this crumbling Qing army, it may really be possible for him to be pinched again, if it really comes to that time, and then want to take Hefei City, it may not be so easy.
Therefore, it is a good way to make a fuss about Monk Greenqin.
"We have done a detailed investigation of the main figures in the Qing court, and the intelligence shows that Seng Lingqin has no bad habits, is extremely strict with himself, is not greedy, does not prostitute, does not gamble, is upright, and it is not so easy to take advantage of his loopholes." Liu Yuhua took Huang Xu's words and said.
"Really? It is really an eye-opener that there are such good officials in the Qing court." It was the first time Huang Xu had heard that there was such a figure in the imperial court, and he didn't believe it.
"It should be right, if there are still a few good officials in the Qing court, this monk Greenqin should be counted as one, and there are Zeng Guofan and Prince Gong, these three should be considered good, and in addition, there are no good birds." Zhao Xiaofeng also confirmed that this monk Greenqin is a good official.
"It's a pity that it can't be used by us." When Huang Xu heard that there were such good officials, he couldn't help but love talents, but he also knew that this was impossible, because this monk Greenqin was not only a Manchu, but also a Manchu royal family, how could he follow the Taiping army, so Huang Xu was a little sorry.
"yes, it's a bit of a pity that such a talent can't be used by us." Zhao Xiaofeng also feels the same way.
"Since it can't be used, let's destroy it." It's either a comrade-in-arms or an enemy, and since the enemy is too virtuous, he can only get rid of it without hesitation. Huang Xu still understands this basic truth.
"Big brother, just leave this matter to me." Dongfang was not confused to hear that Huang Xu was inclined to adopt his own suggestion, and he became bold again.
"Mr. Zhao, how do you say this matter should be handled?" Huang Xu did not directly admit that Dongfang was not confused, but asked Zhao Xiaofeng's opinion.
"It's a pity to have such a master as the Dongfang brothers here, if you don't make good use of it, this matter can be handed over to the Dongfang to do, but before we act, we must formulate a careful action." Zhao Xiaofeng said.
"Yay!" Hearing that Zhao Xiaofeng agreed to let him go, Dongfang jumped up excitedly.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyong glanced at him fiercely on the side, and Dongfang was not confused and immediately forbidden. Everyone laughed at them like this.
"Well, this matter is so decided, of course it is good to be able to capture it alive, if not, then kill on the spot, never suffer in the future, and must not drag mud and water. As for the program of specific actions, we will consult further. Also, in this operation, I will go with the East to fight a quick battle and ensure the success of one blow." HUANG Xudao.
"What? Big brother, you have to go too, if you go, it won't be fun." Dongfang Bufu seemed a little reluctant when he heard that Huang Xu was going.
"What, what kind of plane do you want to get again, this time it's going to do big things, do you think it's going to travel? Don't give me a lot of chatter there, and listen to the command of all actions, understand?" Huang Xu said seriously. He can't fight him on business.
"Yes." The East is not confused and extremely reluctant to authentic.
Huang Xu glanced at him and ignored him anymore.
"Big brother, do you have to go in person?" Although he knew that Huang Xu was deeply artistic, Wang Xiaoyong was still a little uneasy.
"Yes, I'll go, I can look at the East." HUANG Xudao.
"Xiao Yong, you don't have to worry, I think it's best for the horse master to go, with the strength of the horse master's martial arts, the meticulousness of his thoughts, the alertness of his actions, and the assistance of the Dongfang brothers, the chances of success in this matter will be very great, even if it can't be successful, I believe that with the ability of the horse master and the Dongfang brothers, it should not be a problem to retreat." Zhao Xiaofeng is quite confident in Huang Xu.
As the so-called concern is chaos, the relationship between brothers is too good, and it is understandable that there are those worries.
"Xiao Yong, you don't have to worry, with me, with me following the eldest brother, don't worry, I will protect the eldest brother." Dongfang patted his chest and reassured.
"You still protect the eldest brother, I think the eldest brother protects you, right?" Yao Dahong said with a smile on the side.
When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and they were not embarrassed.
"Okay, this matter is decided, Mr. Zhao, brothers, you have to hurry, the information that should be collected, the situation that should be known, must be prepared, we must come up with a specific action plan as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Huang Xu said solemnly.
"Yes." The people were commanded.
"Okay, that's all for this, by the way, Mr. Zhao, how is the situation with General Guo?" Guo Potian has already occupied Wuchang and is preparing to capture Xinyang.
Regarding the situation on Guo Potian's side, Huang Xu is also always paying attention, after all, everyone has discussed that the two armies are advancing together, Guo Potian's side is about to connect the two cities, and his side can't afford it for too long.
"General Guo has stabilized the situation in Wuchang, and now he has moved his troops to Xinyang City." Zhao Xiaofeng said truthfully.
"According to your estimates, how long will it take for General Guo to break through Xinyang?" Huang Xu asked again.
"If nothing happens, within fifteen days, Xinyang will definitely be broken." Zhao Xiaofeng did the math and was definitely authentic.
"Okay, then we will suppress the Qing army in Hefei City, delay it for another half a month, and wait for General Guo to break Xinyang." Huang Xu said excitedly.
Since Huang Xu and Guo Potian were in charge of the seal of the commander, the Taiping army marched smoothly, Guo Potian had already occupied Wuchang all the way, and it was only a matter of time before Xinyang was breached, and Huang Xu's way, to ensure that he could successfully wipe out the remnants of the Qing army in Hefei, then they would also open the door to attack the hinterland of the Qing court, so that the two armies would go hand in hand, and the kingdom of heaven would be just around the corner.
"Big brother, there's one more thing." Yao Dahong has something else to say.
"What?" HUANG Xudao.
"The 200,000 reinforcements sent by the Qing court should arrive in Hefei in these two days at the latest." Yao Dahongdao.
"Two hundred thousand reinforcements? In addition to Zeng Guofan's team, does the Qing army have any soldiers who can ambush them?" Huang Xu was a little skeptical.
"It is reported that the name of this army is the Shence Army, it is a newly formed army, and the leading generals are Guo Wenbing and Deng Dinggong." Yao Dahongdao.
"Guo Wenbing? I haven't heard of it, Deng Dinggong, isn't that the one who sent us grain and grass?" Huang Xu's words are very interesting.
Everyone listened to Huang Xu's funny, and it was a burst of daxiao.
"Master Horse, this Deng Dinggong should not be underestimated, the reason why we succeeded last time was due to the other party's underestimation of the enemy, but this does not deny that this person is a general." Zhao Xiaofeng and Prince Gong have similar views on Deng Dinggong, and it seems that the heroes see the same thing.
"Mr. Xie Zhao reminded me, I will be careful, if according to Dahong, the Qing Dynasty has pressed all the treasures in Hefei, then, as long as we annihilate the main force of the Qing army in Hefei, then we will be able to drive straight into the imperial capital of the Qing court." When he said this, Huang Xu's expression was like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb to be slaughtered, and his eyes lit up.
"That's exactly the case, but we can't underestimate the Qing army's liliang, if you count the Shence army, they have more than 400,000 horses, and our army is only close to 300,000, and the enemy army still has a strong city, this is really a tough battle." What Zhao Xiaofeng means is that they can't be blindly confident.
"Don't worry, military advisor, we won't be brutal, no, don't we already have a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, as long as we get rid of Seng Lingqin, the Qing army will become a group of dragons without a leader, and then we will break each one, and the big thing can be decided." HUANG Xudao.
When everyone heard Huang Xu say this, they all nodded.
