Chapter 165: Zeng Guofan's Painting of the River Circle (4)

Yi Kaijun escaped from the battle, and Zeng Guofan said angrily: Yi is easier to go, and he can't help but be strict; The troops under him were all handed over to Liu Songshan to command. The three armies of Hui, Xiu, and Qingyang are in trouble, and they are rebellious, so they should be abolished as soon as possible; In today's camp of Jinling, only Liu, Zhu, and Zhu are still in Rui and Lin, and they are paid full salaries by the Jiangxi Salt Bureau every month. I immediately consulted Yuan Fu, and observed it nearby, and in case of any change, Shang Zhi Shaoquan Zhongcheng handled it.

Zhao Liewen said: Since then, there are very few old generals left in the personal soldiers of Di Shuai and Jiu Shuai. After the merger of Yi Kaijun's troops, the army under the command of Liu Songshan reached nearly 10,000. However, it still does not resist the two or three of Huaiyong.

Zeng Guofan said: This time, I have bet on Li Shaoquan's Huaiyong. In order to coordinate cheaply, I ordered Li Hezhang to manage the camp affairs, Li Zhaoqing to assist in military affairs, and to form another Wu Yi army; However, it was also very tricky, Liu Mingchuan relapsed with his old illness and refused to enter Zhoukou; Li Zhaoqing was not good at riding and delayed in carrying out military orders. I have severely punished Li Shaoquan, if the Huai people repeat it again, I will be like a mountain!

Zhao Liewen said: Don't worry, the elite soldiers of the Ji camp and the Thunder Army will come as soon as they are called.

Zeng Guofan said: The killing and plundering of the Ji camp is too heavy, and the Ting camp is in a hurry, so it is advisable to cut it down as soon as possible. Liu Songshan is both wise and brave, and talents are rare, and it is enough to stay in this army. The balance of the salary was given to Zhang, Liu Huaiyong and the camps of Songshan.

Zhao Liewen said: The army commanded by Liu Songshan was originally the old Xiang battalion, and Wang Xin and Zhang Yunlan successively commanded it. Luo Bingzhang said that Wang Xin's army is serious in discipline and clever in his calculations, and it is rare to ask for ancient famous generals. Hu Runzhi said, Wang Xin's department, a hundred battles and victories, unstoppable!

Zeng Guofan sighed and said: I also said that although Wang Xin is brave, he must be controlled, this must be reasonable; Neither restrained, but embarrassed to walk together. The difference between this thought, I and Pushan, rubbing shoulders in the sea of people. More than ten years later, Jiang Yili, Liu Songshan, Wang Kaihua, Wang Kailin, Liu Jintang, etc., of the old Hunan camp, all became fierce generals, and Li Shaoquan and Jianghuai generals supported half of the Qing Dynasty; And the two armies of Ting and Ji are about to be lost. I don't know the army, I have delayed the country, and I am extremely ashamed.

Zhao Liewen said: Di Shuai raised Zuo Jigao and Li Shaoquan to sweep Suzhou and Hangzhou; Revenge with the nine marshals, kill the Hong rebellion, and the merit is great; Lai Wenguang and Zhang Zongyu are really fish that have slipped through the net, and in time, they will definitely be wiped out.

Zeng Guo Fan Dao: Lai, Zhang two bandits, one west and one north, running in reverse, so the technique is repeated, divide my forces, lure me to pursue, and revert to the old road of besieging the monk's mansion. I have three intentions, first, that is, in Linhuai, Zhoukou, Xuzhou, Jining four places to garrison heavy troops, important fortifications. Second, the speed group of six horse teams, tiptoe accompaniment, disturb but not hit, hit and go. 3. Clear the wilderness, protect the armor regulations, clear the wilderness, and eliminate its roots.

Zhao Liewen said: The southwest second road has a dense river network, which is not conducive to the maneuver of the rebel bandit horse team, and Di Shuai can only focus on the north road.

Zeng Guofan said: Yes! The thief crossed the Yellow River against the tide and disturbed Gyeonggi, which was a big deal. We will go north, sit in Xuzhou, and wait for Lai and Zhang Eryi. Quickly pass on my order, Suzhou, Anhui, Suzhou, and Shandong garrisons, and nearby the four towns of Linhuai, Anhui, Zhoukou, Henan, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and Jining, Shandong; Liu Songshan and Zhang Shiri led all walks of life to march westward, chasing Zhang Zongyu's rebels; Zhang Shusheng, Liu Mingchuan, and Zhou Shengbo marched north, joined Chen Guorui's department, and surrounded and annihilated Lai Wenguang's bandits.

Liu Ming passed the order, supervised the Ming army, attacked first, and in half a month, chased into Shandong, and the forward entered Jining Changgou. It lives next to Chen Guorui's army

Chen Guorui looked at the firearms of the Ming Army and immediately coveted it. On the third watch of the night, Guo Rui personally led 500 masked soldiers to enter the camp of the Ming army, slashed and killed more than 20 soldiers, and stole more than 300 guns.

When Liu Ming heard the news, he was furious, and personally led the main army to besiege Chen Guorui's camp.

Chen Guorui refused to restrain his hands. Liu Ming gave an order, and the guns roared, besieging and killing 500 Chen soldiers. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guorui jumped over the wall and climbed into the house, but was still captured alive and imprisoned in the empty house for three days. Guorui was impatient with hunger and knelt on the ground to mourn.

Chen Guorui is a first-class military attaché, and Liu Mingchuan did not dare to make a mistake, so he thought about it again and again.

When Zhang Shusheng, the commander of the Shu Army, heard the news, he angrily reprimanded Liu Mingchuan: In broad daylight, he openly killed the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Xingsan, and his death is coming!

Liu Ming preached: Chen killed my brother who dared to fight in Tongli, this revenge will not be avenged, and there is no shame to lead the army! I'm going to Xu immediately, please give Di Shuai a good time.

Zhang Shusheng said: Di Shuai is dignified, and military law is the first priority; If you act recklessly, there is nothing to do, don't go to Xu! Quickly send personal soldiers, report to Li Shuai, and ask him to mediate; I immediately went to Xuzhou and asked for guilt.

Liu Ming preached: There is Lao Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong is very kind, Liu has no teeth and never forgets!

Zhang Shusheng went to Xu on a starry night, bowed to the national domain, and complained in detail.

Zeng Guofan said: At the moment of the great enemy, Liu and Chen Huo are combined, and they are bitter and hateful, and they are not properly handled, which harms the overall situation. Can Zhenxuan have a good way to eliminate it?

Zhang Shusheng said: Qi Yu is handsome, Chen Guorui kills people and crosses goods, and he should be beheaded according to the law; However, Chen Li served Yuan Jiasan, Wu Tang, and Seng Lingqin three dukes, experienced a hundred battles, and made outstanding achievements; It is easy to punish him, or to eliminate dissent, and it is easy to tell the truth. Liu Ming passed on the open fire to fight and brazenly besieged and killed the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and his crime was unforgivable; However, at the moment of the great enemy, can Di Shuai open up the net and make him guilty and make meritorious contributions.

Zeng Guofan smiled and said: I once told Shaoquan Zhongcheng, there is a handsome man on his face! Liu Sheng's three wisdom and courage are both complete, but they are as violent as a tiger, unwilling to be subordinate, so it is easy to retreat and difficult to advance, and within ten years, it is difficult to achieve positive results. Zhenxuan went to rest for the time being, how to deal with the two, I have my own measure.

Zhang Shusheng wanted to speak and stopped, suddenly knelt down, and said: Zhang Shusheng, the descendant, has admired Digong for many years, and is willing to perform the rites of disciples and abide by the teacher's teachings.

Guo Fan hurriedly got up and helped, and said happily: Zhenxuan Zhenxuan, please get up quickly, I have a good heart, no need for red tape; When Shaoquan Zhongcheng learned about it, his heart was surging!

After the words of the national vassal, he joined hands with the sound of the tree, got out of the military tent, went into the moon, and talked about the wine, so unhappy.

After Zhang Shusheng said goodbye, Zhao Liewen said: Congratulations to Di Shuai, Zhang Shusheng is willing to perform the gift of his disciples, and Huai Yong can be dispatched.

Zeng Guofan said: Zhang Shusheng, people sing the praises of Hefei heroes; The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. I have been working for half my life, can I get the name of chivalry?

Zhao Liewen sneered and said: Zhang Shusheng's move is half for Liu Mingchuan.

Zeng Guofan said: Harvest a torch of red, half of the country is loyal to death. Zhang Shusheng's knowledge is comparable to Li Shaoquan. During the Xianfeng period, Li Shaoquan was a thief in Anhui, specializing in wave warfare; At that time, Zhang Shusheng, Liu Mingchuan, and Zhou Shengbo's three-mountain group practice was unique, and they did not dare to approach the fat and Shu thieves. Kill the enemy on the battlefield, I might as well be Zhang. Although Zhang is only a gift, he is really a talent; I am sponsored by the above, and the tree battalion below is led by his brother Shushan.

Zhao Liewen said: Zhang Shusheng is the brother of Liu Mingchuan and Zhou Shengbo and Zhou Shengwu. By coincidence, Li Shaoquan sat back and enjoyed his merits.

Zeng Guofan said: Li Shaoquan is a dragon and phoenix among people, and then he sat down and talked about it, but it was too much. It was originally to evacuate Qimen to avoid disasters, but he said, 'My master has a lot of virtue, please don't use this mustard to hurt the peace of the sky.' 'I know it is magnificent, but I am also grateful. This is all in the past, I have clearly told Zhang Shusheng, Ming'er immediately consulted Li Shaoquan, Liu Mingchuan killed 500 officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and the nine clans were harmed; but to kill the thief with all his might, and to atone for his sins.

Zhao Liewen said: Liu Mingchuan's lone army is deep, I am afraid that it will not be safe, the two armies of Pan Dingxin and Zhou Shengbo can no longer be garrisoned divisions, and Li Zhaoqing's Wu Yi army should be dominated by horse teams.

Zeng Guofan said: However, Pan Dingxin's Ding Army and Zhou Shengbo's Sheng Army can be guerrilla divisions, and they can join forces with the Ming Army to encircle and punish bandits. Passing on my military order, Pan Ding's new department quickly went south from Tianjin and entered Lu to compete; Li Zhaoqing's Wu Yi Army also entered Lu quickly.
