Zhang San'er shook his old father in disbelief, he couldn't believe that his father had passed away, an old man on the side tried his nose on Zhang Laohan's nose, shook his head and said to Zhang San'er, "Festival mourning is smooth, San'er", the tears in Zhang San'er's eyes then rolled down, hugged Zhang Laohan and cried several times, wiped away his tears, closed his father's eyes with his hands, and gently put Zhang Laohan flat on the ground, it seems that his father is just asleep, and he should be careful in his actions, So as not to disturb his father's sweet dream, he took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and kowtowed to the old men on the side, "Uncles and uncles, my father will hand it over to you!" Wait a minute, call my mother-in-law to come out and wear linen and filial piety, and send my father to the end! ”

Several old men nodded again and again, and one of them asked, "San'er, where are you going?" ”

"Daddy told me to avenge him, so I will go to the north, go to Luzhou, and fight these traitors who kill a thousand knives with the officers and soldiers! This fishing business will take revenge in the future and come back to do it! ”

"Okay, go ahead, we'll take care of the family's affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang San'er kowtowed again, got up, ignored the dust and bloodstains on his body, turned around and left without hesitation.

Dad, you wait, you wait for your son to avenge you!

After the big river flowing into Chaohu Lake on the edge of Sanshui Town, and then sixty or seventy miles northwest is Xiaole Town, this morning, the sky is still just bright, Li Hongzhang is in the town of the threshing floor to order the defense of the matter, a few men are in full swing to make a fire to cook, and a few bookkeepers and the town's rice merchant pork shop owner is trading what to eat for lunch, because they are all townships, these regimental training troops from various prefectures and counties in Luzhou are still friendly to the place, and the relatives on the side stepped forward to make a thousand, and said: "Dashuai, The spies in front came to report that the rebellion had broken the county town of Lujiang three days ago, and they looked at the north to come, and the spies were afraid of revealing their identities, so they could only look at the whereabouts of the rebel army from afar, and did not dare to move forward, so they did not know the specific whereabouts of the rebellion in recent days. ”

"I see, let's go down." Li Hongzhang waved his hand, asked the entourage to retreat, and after ordering the defense, he said to the generals in his newly established Luzhou regiment training camp: "Count the time, at this time, we are about to arrive in Sanshui Town, we have to be vigilant, all the weapons wrapped in oilcloth are up, and we are always ready to fight with the rebellion!" The soldiers we have been training for so long are mules and horses, and it is time to pull them out and slip away, Lord Futai has already ordered that if we can win this battle, we will be rewarded with three thousand taels immediately, and the official will not take anything! All to the brothers of the three armies! Tell the news to your brothers immediately, and boost everyone's morale! ”

"Wow!"

One after another, the orders were passed down, and everywhere they went, everyone welcomed and cheered loudly, and finally the cheers slowly unified, turning into "Thank you, handsome!" Thank you, Dashuai! ”

Li Hongzhang smiled proudly, and at this time, a scout in charge of the southern guard entered the threshing floor and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report!" Dashuai, a sneaky man was caught in the south, and he said that there was a rebellion to report! ”

"Oh?" Li Hongzhang's eyebrows raised, "Bring him up." ”

Zhang San'er was brought to Li Hongzhang, two Qing soldiers fought, Zhang San'er knelt in front of Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang looked at the young man wearing a white cloth and full of grief and indignation, and said with great interest: "I heard that you have news of a traitor, but is it true?" ”

"Yes, sir, that thief burned the ancestral tablets of the whole town in our Sanshui Town yesterday, and kicked the little father to death," Speaking of this, Zhang San'er's words carried a hint of crying, "They camped on the edge of the Chao River last night, and I ran to the north overnight, and I saw that there were officials and soldiers here, so I immediately came to tell the official!" ”

"Very good, then this afternoon or evening, the rebellious army will pass through here and go to Luzhou! Very good, if your news is true, it will definitely help me take the lead in the battle against the rebellion" Li Hongzhang heard Zhang San'er's announcement, he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and clapped his hands again and again, but he thought of something, stared at Zhang San'er with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "If your information is wrong, this official will be the first to kill you to sacrifice the flag!" ”

Zhang San'er trembled with fear, but he still endured his fear and knelt up straight, "Don't dare to deceive the official, if the small one deliberately deceives the official, the small one is willing to be punished." ”

"Okay, with your words, the official will naturally do what you want, say, what do you want, silver or something else?"

"The little ones don't want silver!" Zhang San'er hurriedly kowtowed again, bumping and bumping, and a trace of firm hatred flashed in his eyes, "The little one wants to join the army, so that I can kill the enemy and take revenge!" Ask the official to take pity on the poor villain, and let the villain get what he wants! ”

Li Hongzhang nodded approvingly, "Okay, since you are so ambitious, this official naturally wants to fulfill you, come." A pro-soldier shouted at will, lowered his hand and obeyed the order, "Take him down, change his clothes, find someone to watch, if the military situation is true, then give him a knife, and let him contribute to the country and avenge himself!" ”

"Wow!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Zhang San'er kowtowed again and again gratefully, Li Hongzhang called him up with a smile, looking at Zhang San'er's figure of turning away, Li Hongzhang put away his smile and gave orders: "Pass my order, the whole army has breakfast, set off immediately, let's be on the edge of the Chao River, and share the victory and defeat with the rebels!" ”

A confidant general on the side, Wu Changqing, who looked fierce but showed a shrewdness, thought for a while, and said to Li Hongzhang: "My lord, why don't you send thousands of men and horses to sneak attack the rebellious army?" If you are caught off guard, you may be able to succeed in a sneak attack and extinguish the majesty of rebellion. ”

"It's not appropriate," Li Hongzhang spread out a map of Anhui Province on a big bluestone on the edge of the threshing floor, and looked carefully at the terrain on the edge of Chaohu Lake, "Several cavalry of the general army of Anqing Wang are already disturbing the rebellious army, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, and now we will sneak attack again, I am afraid that we will do useless work, and besides, we do not rely on horses and cavalry to fight, rushing like lightning, this is our shortcoming," Li Hongzhang gestured with his hand, and silently calculated the distance that needed to be marched in his heart, "We got the news, Set up a position in a place with good terrain, and get a favorable location first. ”

"Okay, mark it and immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of the battalion, and set off at any time!"
