"Yes," Zeng Guofan nodded, "Since the civil strife in Jiangning, I killed so many princes overnight, and the fierce generals withered for a while, God bless me in the Qing Dynasty, and I thought that except for these two people, there is no hindrance, after all, even if the official is blocked by the two of them here, hehe, I'm afraid where Shaoquan is, and Jiangnan side, he can always move his hands and feet against Jiangning, right?" Even if these two people have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, they can take care of the east and not the west! ”

"What the marshal said is very true, so what are we doing now?"

"Let's get out of Wuhu! Go west. www.biquge.info"Zeng Guofan already had a belly case, left his position, and walked to the map on the screen, "Where is there a unit of Shaoquan in Wuwei, don't worry, and don't dare to cross the river when our sailors are eyeing us, we can only continue to march west, and compete with us in southern Anhui, let's go to Tongling!" Wait for the rest of the work, wait for this twenty percent, and then the official will not believe it," Zeng Guofan gritted his teeth and said, "I occupy Tongling City, and I can still lose to those two young boys, and the old man will directly disarm and return to the field!" ”

"What the big marshal said is very true," Hu Linyi nodded and said, "The junior brother's group practice naturally follows the big marshal." ”

"No, Runzhi, I see that the military spirit is a little decadent, you and I are mixed together, there is nothing good, you go to Guichi County, this is close to Anqing and Tongling, if I am defeated, you can also leave a back road for the old man, if the enemy is strong, then spread the message to Wang Jinxiu, let him send troops to support."

"Yes."

"The old man also asked the master to go to the capital with an excerpt, in addition to the crime, explain the current situation in the south, and parallel the Wenjiangnan camp and Shaoquan, let them harass Jiangning Zuojin with all their might, if they let Ercheng go all out to the west, it is impossible to say that it will reproduce the scene of southern Anhui and northern Jiangxi going down the wind when Shi Dakai went west." Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly, "If Rong Lu can make trouble for them in the east, then it would be even better!" ”

Hu Linyi said with a burst of blood, "This situation is now. It is because the three armies have no command, everyone takes care of themselves, and expects to rebel to go to other people's territory, and Li Hongzhang, a disciple of the great marshal, is an excellent example. Sitting in the city of Chuzhou, I had to watch the rebellion break Dexing'a's army in Wuyi Town, making the three places of Jiufuzhou in Wuyi Town, Sancha River, and Dexing'a couldn't resist it, so he lost the Jiangbei camp! The Jiangnan camp wanted to come to the rescue, but was stopped by Chen Yucheng in Xiaolingwei! "This Jiangnan and Jiangbei camp. There are also Li Hongzhang, Jiang Zhongyuan, and Zeng Guofan, and the regimental training of the three places are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to echo each other, but it gives them a good opportunity to break through each other.

"Hey, my disciple is the best at being an official, how can he do this meritorious thing, he is different from the old man." Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly again, "But now that I have written to him." He can still give the old man some face in the end. ”

"I hope so," Hu Linyi stood up, "Then Lin Yi will go to Guichi County first and wait for the commander to send him." ”

"Hmm."

Langya Mountain outside Chuzhou City, the Huai Army is stationed.

Chuzhou, "the county starts from Yuanhui, the state is built in Datong, the name is the beginning of the emperor, Wenyang Qingli, the first county of the sky, more than a thousand years of history". In ancient times, it was called "Tuzhong", "Yongyang", and "Qingliu". In the pre-Qin period, it was the land of Tangyi (now Liuhe District, Nanjing City), the Three Kingdoms set up towns, the Southern Dynasty established the state, and the Sui Dynasty began to call "Chuzhou", because the Chuhe River (Tushui) runs through the territory. It is also "Tu" through "Chu", so it is called "Chuzhou". Since ancient times, it has been known as "Jinling lock and key, Jianghuai guarantee", and has the reputation of "Wu Chu and Wu Chu, Qi Yue Huaiyang", "Confucianism is prosperous, and Huaidong is long-awaited".

The most famous in Chuzhou is, of course, Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, who wrote a drunken man's pavilion in the eternal "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion". On Langya Mountain, which has the reputation of "no other mountain after Penglai", there is a large camp of the Huai army stationed in a beautiful place.

"All the mountains around Chuchu are also ...... Ruofu sunrise and Lin Fei open. The clouds return and the caves are twilight, the obscure changers, and the morning and twilight in the mountains. The wild fragrance is fragrant, the beautiful wood is beautiful and prosperous, the wind and frost are noble, and the water falls and the stone comes out. The four times in the mountains also. Towards the beginning, returning at dusk, the scenery of the four seasons is different, and the joy is endless. A young man's voice sounded leisurely in the drunkard's pavilion, and behind him stood two attendants in strong suits looking around vigilantly.

"Papapa," a fat man in a three-grade costume came over behind him, clapping his hands, and the young man who was reciting Ouyang Xiu's famous story through the ages in the drunken man's pavilion stopped chanting, turned his head to look at the approaching fat man, and bowed his hand with a smile.

"Brother Shaoquan is talented, this song "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion" is read clearly, and there is a faint meaning of dust, I, a layman from Chuzhou Mansion, came here to hear Brother Shaoquan's recitation, but I was also refreshed." That fat man is the political envoy of Anhui Province to participate in politics, the title of political envoy, the original Luzhou prefect Wang Jinzhi.

Li Hongzhang asked Wang Jinzhi to sit down in the drunken man's pavilion, and his own soldiers brought tea, "Brother Wang has a good reputation, I am not new to Langya Mountain, and I am just a vassal and elegant, not as good as Brother Wang in Chuzhou Mansion to coordinate the grain and grass of Anhui soldiers and horses, and I am busy every day." ”

Wang Jinzhi waved his hand, with a spring breeze on his face, "What Brother Shaoquan said, I'm not the logistics manager of the Huai Army, in Chuzhou Mansion, I am helping your Brother Shaoquan to work, and the governor of western Anhui over there is raising it by the governor of Jiangbei himself, and the holy decree means that I want to specialize in the supply and demand of Jiangbei military affairs, and now that the Jiangbei camp is gone, then I naturally don't have to bother over there." ”

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly bitterly, "Speaking of this Jiangbei camp, the teacher in Xia also wrote to me to ask me about the collapse of the Jiangbei camp, but between the words, I felt that the meaning of self-preservation was too strong, and I watched the troops of Dexing'a in Wuyi Town in Chuzhou being defeated by the counterattack and not rescued. ”

"Speaking of this, I'm still afraid," Wang Jinzhi shook his head, disapproving, "Chuzhou Mansion is not as good as Luzhou Mansion, here is close to the south of the Yangtze River, the people are very weak, last time you want to send troops to try to see the quality of rebellion, before the Chuzhou city wall, I was stopped by the father and elder here kneeling, saying that it is the livelihood of the people to protect Chuzhou Mansion with all their might, Brother Shaoquan didn't see it, the rebellious Xue Manzi attacked Wuyi Town in those days, this Chuzhou Mansion was shocked three times a day, after noon, even the city gate did not dare to open, even with it, This official has been brought trembling, I have experienced the siege of Luzhou Mansion! ”

"That's true, so since Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng went to the west and the Chuzhou Mansion lifted the siege, I went out to train troops and stationed on this Langya Mountain, so as not to be trapped by the city wall," Li Hongzhang smiled helplessly, "Zeng Shi wrote to me, and it was also directed to the heart of the bottom, if I decided to send troops, the people in Chuzhou Mansion would not be able to stop me, even if they raised tens of thousands of grain and grass for us." "In the final analysis, I am still afraid that the army will lose the Huai army capital in my hands because of the defeat of the army, and furthermore, if the eight banners of the green camp can be used, how can the imperial court think of its own Huai army training, and how can it want to rely on itself, and now that I have not yet arrived, I am already the prefect of Luzhou in South Anhui Province.
