Chapter 366: Asking Questions

readx;?? Zeng Guohuang left for nearly half an hour before returning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the surrounding Hunan army has already cleaned up the blood droplets, the dead body was shot into the skull, pushed into the pit and buried deeply, and the living was also tied with iron chains, held together, closely guarded, Nalan Fang was no exception, and also received additional care, tied under his feet two pieces of iron and stone weighing dozens of catties, even if there are all kinds of martial arts, it is difficult to break free and escape.

Luo Bingzhang was not satisfied with Li You's proposal. In fact, Li You himself knows that the Taiping army is now sunset, and he can't help at all, and within a year or two, under the siege of Zeng Guopan, it will also fall. All he could rely on was foreknowledge of the matter.

Luo Bingzhang took such a big risk, but he didn't get any benefit at all, and he was also quite frightened, no matter how big he was, it was impossible to agree to Li You's almost ridiculous proposal.

"Governor Luo said that all drops of blood must be put to death, and once this matter is leaked, not only him, but also my Zeng brothers will be blamed." Zeng Guohuang's face was embarrassed: "In addition, Governor Luo also hopes that sir, you will donate the artifact you have obtained ......."

Regarding Luo Bingzhang's request, Li You also listened to it. If you want to take the Yin Talisman from him, even if it is the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, don't think about it. Luo Bingzhang obviously hasn't seen the situation clearly. At this time, since he was nearby, the blood droplets were killed by Zeng Guohuang's tricks. It can be said that the power that can protect Luo Bingzhang no longer exists, and it is obviously impossible for Luo Bingzhang to get more benefits from him at this moment.

"Tell Governor Locke that my proposal will not change because of him. Agree to my request, the Taiping army of the Western Expedition will dissipate along the Dadu River, and will never appear in front of him again; If he doesn't agree, then I'm grateful for what Governor Luo has done before, but I'll still borrow someone else's head. ”

Li You said that there was no room for reversal. This made Zeng Guohuang embarrassed. After a while, he sighed and said with difficulty: "I knew that you would not agree." Sir, could you please tell me how you pacified the Taiping Army......

As soon as these words came out. Li You knew that Luo Bingzhang's bottom line was actually to solve the Taiping Army that was plaguing the southwest. Although he had ill intentions towards the so-called artifact, he still clearly realized that it was unlikely that he wanted to seize this artifact from Li You.

Li You smiled faintly and said, "Actually, except for Shi Dakai's western expedition, the Taiping Army has already taken steps to the road. Hong Xiuquan stubbornly defended Tianjing, which has become a mortal situation, as long as he insists on the siege, within two years, Tianjing will undoubtedly fall. ”

Zeng Guohuang nodded. He did not know military affairs, but he wrote letters with his brother Zeng Guo Pan, and the other party's strategic intentions were probably the same. But the assumption time is a little longer than Li You thinks.

"Dare to ask sir, after the long hair subsides, where will my Hunan army go?" When he asked this, Zeng Guohuang's eyes also flashed with a gleam.

As we all know, today, there is a saying that there is no Hunan and no army. With the most elite army in the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible for Zeng Guopan to be unmoved. Even if Zeng Guopan himself didn't want to, his subordinates also wanted to go further. The historical allusions of the Chenqiao Mutiny are understood by anyone who reads history roughly.

Li You glanced at Zeng Guohuang with a smile and said, "There are two choices. ”

"Please sir." Zeng Guohuang's face was solemn. He bowed deeply to Li You. He knew very well that Li You's words had a more far-reaching impact on his brother than anyone else's lobbying.

"The Hunan army is in full swing right now, and after pacifying the Taiping army, it may be possible to follow the example of Song Taizu." When Li You said this, he obviously saw Zeng Guohuang's body trembling slightly.

"Really?" Zeng Guohuang, who has always been serious, also couldn't wait to ask such a sentence.

"I'll just say, it's up to you." Li You was unhurried and said: "It's just that the current situation is a change that has not been seen in three thousand years, the central court is rotten inside, there is Yidi outside, and the local regiments are training in piles. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Guohuang's face changed. However, Li You continued: "The chaos will give the foreign Yi an opportunity to carve up, and in the end, the Chinese inheritance may eventually be destroyed." ”

"Sir, this, that's too alarmist, isn't it?" Zeng Guohuang's face was as pale as earth, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that once this possibility appeared, the family would not only not get any benefits, but also have to bear a thousand years of infamy.

"As I said, you can figure it out for yourselves. What is the combat power of the Hunan army, how is the combat power of Yidi, I know much more about your coins. Li You didn't dwell on this question and continued: "I know what you're worried about. Now that the Hunan army is the most powerful force in the world, it is not difficult to rebel and peace. After pacifying the Taiping army, let your brother go to the military power. ”

"This ......" Zeng Guohuang changed color again. If you don't go to the military power, you may be killed, and if you go to the military power, the old witch Cixi will not dare to touch him for half a point, and will only keep adding him to the rank and knighthood. As soon as Li You's words came out, Zeng Guohuang understood the truth. If Zeng Guopan retreated bravely, this move would inevitably win great praise from the court, and the Qing court would inevitably shape him into a model of a courtier, how could he have unfavorable behavior?

"That's it?" Zeng Guohuang gritted his teeth a little. I was very disappointed. In fact, he would prefer that Li You support the first possibility.

"Of course not." Li You approached Zeng Guohuang's side and patted him on the shoulder pretending to be old-fashioned. However, Zeng Guohuang was very useful, and he bowed his body slightly, so that Li You could shoot more easily.

Li You sighed and said, "Guohuang." I understand your thoughts. But this court has rotted to the extreme, even if you can destroy it, you will only do things according to their routines, which is not beneficial to the country, this kind of thing, it is better to leave it to future generations to do...... What you have to do and what you can do is to learn the strength of those countries in the West, renew the life of this imperial court for a while, and then let it perish again when it is suitable for destruction......

"Sir......" Li You's words made Zeng Guohuang's heart move. He stared at Li You's face and looked at it carefully several times. This face was almost identical to the one he had seen at the time. The years have not left any trace on this face.

"Sir is a man of God, so he must know what is going to happen?" Zeng Guohuang suddenly said: "Please be more careful, sir." ”

Li You smiled helplessly. What a man of God, he himself has crossed back. It's a pity that I don't read history and don't know much about the history of the late Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, it's good to say something and scare Zeng Guohuang.

But the general trend of the times, Li You is still clear. He pretended to be mysterious, and said, "There are some things that I can say, and you can listen to them, but except for your brother, you must not enter the ears of the fourth person, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and your Zeng family will be damned." ”
