Emperor Xianfeng received the excerpt of the destruction of the Jiangbei camp, lowered his head and was silent, Xingzhen, who was holding the fold on the side, couldn't help but call the emperor, Emperor Xianfeng raised his head and smiled miserably: "Although the queen has long reminded me that it is expected that the Jiangbei camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei will be destroyed, but I always can't help but be sad when I see these bad news," the emperor said here The tone turned high, and with a wave of his arm, he swept the things on the desk to the ground, "It's all useless things, and it betrays my trust!" This auspicious is also brainless, so you know how to fight to the death, why not retreat! It's not very good to live like Dexinga! ”

"Don't be angry, Xianghou is loyal to the country, and so is his wife, who can be described as full of loyalty, and the military planes outside have arrived, right?" Xingzhen said with concern. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's useless to scream or not! Now that this Jiangbei is gone, I'm afraid that this Jiangnan camp is also in danger! Emperor Xianfeng shouted helplessly, he had never felt so helpless, Yuyu six years, rebellion was rampant, all the way from Guangxi to Jiangning, the Qing Dynasty's belly was a mess, the troops were defeated again and again, the sky-high general military salary was allocated, only to hear the rout and rout, and the internal affairs government kept receiving copper money to subsidize the outside, in exchange for all the war deaths! Defeat!

Emperor Xianfeng stood up, his eyes were a little scattered, Xingzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, supported the emperor hard, and shouted repeatedly: "Emperor, Emperor!" You still have concubines, and you have a big brother! Cheer up! ”

The emperor was shaken back to reality by Xingzhen's shake, and the queen's flower-like face gradually became clear in front of him, and the emperor nodded, "Yes, I still have you and the eldest brother!" Queen, what do you say next? ”

"Your Majesty, be calm," Xingzhen motioned to the little eunuch to serve tea, and Ruyi served tea tremblingly, and Xingzhen handed it to the emperor, "Although Xianghou died in battle." But it will inevitably arouse the hatred of the military and people in Jiangnan for the same enemy, and now it is natural to have rewards and punishments! ”

"Naturally, Dexing Adang was ineffective and was dismissed from his post for investigation. Xianghou should be rewarded well! And his wife. ”

"With such clear rewards and punishments, the army and the people are naturally attentive, and in addition, it is necessary to order the Jiangnan battalion to strictly guard the camp, and not to send troops at will, so as to hold Jiangning City." Xingzhen said quietly, her voice was low but gave the emperor endless confidence, "I also have to inform all the armies in various places to strictly guard against it, I would rather not march than defend the original big city!" ”

"That's all it takes, I'm going outside, let's call it," the emperor tiredly asked Ruyi to go out to communicate to the minister of the military aircraft department, "Empress, you can return this batch of folds." ”

"But the emperor, you haven't painted an excerpt yet......"

"It doesn't matter. In the future, the queen will review it yourself, and if it is approved, I will read it again, and I will believe you," the emperor patted Xingzhen's hand, "If it weren't for you persuading me from time to time, I really don't know what would have happened." ”

"The emperor has won the award, then the emperor goes, the concubines are here to approve the folds, rejoice. Cook a bowl of pear soup for the emperor, and be calm. ”

"Wow."

The emperor's depression was relieved for a while, and he turned around and walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion and went to the main hall of the Qinzheng Palace. Xingzhen opened the first fold on it, read it intently, and wrote her opinion, this is at least a small improvement, no longer a living copier.

I don't know how long it was, when I was about to turn the lamp. Xingzhen rubbed her eyes, put down the fold in her hand, and asked Ruyi, who was waiting on the side, "Has the emperor finished seeing the military plane?" ”

"Yes," Ruyi replied with a bowed head, "I went to the residence of the noble Lin." ”

"Well," Xingzhen disagreed, "The emperor is upset, and Noble Lin is young, so he must be able to bring some happiness to the emperor, okay, you put away these folds and let the emperor see it tomorrow." ”

......

Li Xiucheng sat on the futon in the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Stone Buddha Temple, the three stone Buddhas enshrined in the treasure hall had long been gone, leaving only the empty lotus base, and after sweeping the left side, a general wearing a yellow-brown robe came in and hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, the corpse of the Qing Demon has been disposed of." ”

Li Xiucheng nodded, "That's fine, pass the order, the three armies will rest for half a day, immediately start and go upstream along the Yangtze River!" ”

"Prime Minister, aren't we going back to Tianjing? The Jiangnan camp has not yet broken through ......"

"It's okay, let Li Shixian resist for a few days, let's go to the west to help Prime Minister Chen Cheng solve the Zeng Guofan in Wuhu, the two armies will work together, and then the division will attack the Jiangnan camp together, this is Tian Ji's trick in the horse race." Li Xiucheng closed his eyes, "This is a surprise for the Qing Demon!" ”

"Yes." The general stopped asking questions, and quietly went down to give the order not to mention it.

"Xianghou, Xianghou, although you and I are our own masters, but we also cherish each other, I will bury you today, I don't know who will bury me in the future, or if I die without a place to bury?" Li Xiucheng muttered to himself, and the dust on the beam where Mrs. Xianghou hanged herself in the Daxiong Treasure Hall was blown by the cold wind of the inverted spring, and flew down flutteringly.

……

Outside Wuhu City, Jade Rock, Hunan Army Camp.

Zeng Guofan was discussing in the tent, and the handsome tent was full of two rows, Zeng Guofan finished reading the letter in his hand, and said to the generals of the Hunan army under the tent: "Now that Chen Yucheng has arrived in Wuhu, our battle is a little tricky. ”

Hu Linyi, the political envoy of Hubei Province who was sitting on the left, nodded, "The first elite among the long-haired thieves is none other than the four-eyed dog, and the others are not enough to worry about." Chen Yucheng has a mole under his eyes, the battle is extremely brave and his whereabouts are erratic, unstoppable, the Qing army gave him a nickname called "four-eyed dog", everyone nodded, agreed, since Chen Yucheng entered Wuhu County in the starry night, the defenders of the city were greatly inspired, the defenders who were originally showing a declining trend were resurrected and vigorous, and Li Xubin, the title of the southern Anhui Province who attacked the city, saw Chen Yucheng's appearance several times in the city, but this Xiangxiang man was not afraid at all, relying on his equestrian skills, his arm strength was outstanding, and he got up and said: "Handsome, Mark the wish to be a pioneer, weigh the color of the four-eyed dog! ”

Zeng Guofan nodded approvingly, "Di'an, you have this ambition, Ben Shuai is very pleased, you sit down," looking around at the generals, "The rebellion broke through the Jiangbei camp, Jiangning General Xianghou has died, the old man is sure that the situation in Shaoquan is going to be embarrassing, the Jiangnan camp is also in danger, our side is also grim, Chen Yucheng is here, I can't say that we have to fight steadily." Zeng Guofan gave the order, "Guohua, you and Di An continue to attack Wuhu, Ronglu,"

Rong Lu got up and obeyed, "You lead the musket team to trap Dangtu, in case Dangtu's rebellious reinforcements come to Wuhu against the current." ”

"Wow!"

"Zeng Guoquan, you lead the cavalry to sweep the left near, you must not let Jiangdong's rebellion approach Wuhu County!"

"Wow!"

"In the battle of Hukou, the emperor did not blame him, but gave the old man the heavy responsibility of the governor of Jiangxi, and there was nothing in return, so he could only try his best to serve the country, everyone, and so on to capture Wuhu, this marshal asked the emperor for everyone!"

"Wow!" The generals should be roaring, and the fish will come out.

On 25 February, Li Xiucheng set out from the Shifo Temple, rushed to Hanshan Town, Chaohu County, Anhui Province, and pointed at the Luzhou Mansion. Who knew that Li Xiucheng shook a shot, rested for a few days after taking Hanshan Town, waited for work, defeated Li Hongzhang who came to chase after him, and immediately went south, and quietly came to the opposite side of the river in Wuhu County, Kongyun Town in Wuwei County in three days.

On 1 March, Li Xiucheng's banner was erected in Kongyun Town across the river, and Zeng Guofan was shocked and hurriedly ordered Zeng Guoquan to block it along the river.

"Why did this Li Xiucheng suddenly come to Anhui!" Zeng Guofan paced back and forth in the tent in annoyance, his face was hot, and he blushed a little for his previous decision, "This guy didn't go to solve He Guiqing first!" At this time, Zeng Guofan also had to recite the old saying "Dead friends don't die poor".

Zeng Guoquan didn't say anything at all, and said with a big grin: "Don't worry, don't worry, now that our Hunan army's sailors are in full bloom, Li Xiucheng can't come to the river, even if he is lucky, there is still my old nine here on the river, and I can't please him!" ”

"I hope so," Zeng Guofan seemed to be a little relieved, "Send the order to Guohua and Xu Bin, and the old man's 5,000 Chinese troops will also give them command, first break Wuhu County, solve one place, and don't be afraid of this Li Xiucheng!" ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
