Chapter 189: Zuo Zongtang Pacifies Guan Long (4)

Zuo Zongtang received the order and was very relieved; That is, the Zhuwei of Hezhou entered the city and surrendered.

The Zhuwei eyes in Hezhou took over, did not dare to slack off, they all tied their arms, and the fish penetrated, Ma Zhanao burst into tears, and choked up: Ma is guilty of a lot of sin, and he is guilty of self-restraint; From now on, the foolish people will be faithful and will never rebel.

Zuo Zongtang was also very emotional, and said: You can understand the righteousness and comfort people's hearts. The minister was about to besiege Xining and attack Suzhou, so he immediately organized three battalions of horses and merged them into the Xiang camp of Liu Jintang in Xining Road, and made meritorious contributions.

Ma Zhanao said: Qi Yu Zuo Shuai, his subordinates found out that Ma Guiyuan, the prefect of Xining, begged for appeasement, and he was conspiring with the Shaanxi Baiyan Tiger Bandits.

Zuo Zongtang said: The minister of this lord has said first, Xining Fen Department, the horse weapons are not all submitted, and the bandits are not all bundled, so the Fu Bureau is not to be discussed. Shaanxi Animus Bai Yanhu, insidious and cunning people, this fight started in Dong Zhiyuan, folded in Jinjibao, escaped in Hezhou Mansion, and now it is in collusion with Xining Ma Guiyuan, which is very hateful.

Ma Zhanao said: Qi Yu Zuo Shuai, in the winter of the previous year, Bai Yanhu's bandit department fled to Hezhou Mansion, and his subordinates saw that his mind was not correct, and he also reprimanded him.

Zuo Zongtang Road; Neither is it white, and it must not be the same.

Ma Zhanao said: Zuo Shuai is very kind, and he can't repay it, and he is very frightened. The subordinates immediately led the headquarters to counterattack the cycle in order to repay the favor of the left commander.

Zuo Zongtang said: This is very good, the minister of Benjue is waiting for good news.

After Ma Zhanao's farewell, it was almost dusk, and Liu Jintang of Xining Road suddenly came to see him.

Zong Tang said: Please.

Liu Jintang worshiped Zong Tang and said: Qi Yu Zuo Shuai, Zuo Shuai's camp is solemn and solemn, but a flower by the pond is outstanding, and his subordinates have witnessed it, so he implores Zuo Shuai to be right.

Who will plant the immortals under Yaotai? Luoxia Ruicai opened alone. The sky and the moon are on the pool, and there are no flowers to come side by side.

Zuo Zongtang finished reciting, pretending to be dumbfounded, and said: Yi Zhai is no longer a puff!

Liu Jintang said: Thank you Zuo Shuai for your praise.

Zuo Zongtang said: Wufu is also a reckless man! Is the foreign gun in Jinji Fort indeed in the private possession of the Fenmu?

Liu Jintang was silent.

Zuo Zongtang said again: Read more sage books to know the righteousness. Battlefield battle, life and death are fate; Fu Xianzong and Xu Wenxiu are also shrouded in horse leather, but the minister of this lord treats Ma Zhanao like an old man, do you know what he means?

Liu Jintang hurriedly knelt down and said: His subordinates are fake public and private, and I implore Zuo Shuai to punish him!

Zuo Zongtang said: In the first year of Tongzhi, the rebellion entered Shaanxi, and Guanlong was in chaos. In the land of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, the fireworks are silent, and the white bones and yellow grass are all there, and the widows cry and complain, and the disaster is fierce, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times. The princes of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia all said that they would slaughter the city against the people, heaven and earth would not tolerate it, and the Han clan would always be single-minded, advancing without retreating, and suppressing without appeasement. However, the minister of this lord carefully investigated, and the Han Wei quarreled, resulting in a catastrophe; The reason for the provocation is really Hermes-Epitek. Neither I nor I are demons, so we should kill and stop killing, and we should be moderate.

Liu Jintang said: The subordinates strictly follow the instructions of Zuo Shuai.

Zuo Zongtang said: Ma Guiyuan, the prefect of Xining, is sanctimonious and not good; The eight lands of Xining follow their teachings, and those who do not follow their teachings will be wiped out. The so-called tiger marshal among the thieves, Bai Yanhu, this fierce and cunning man, has gathered heavy troops at the mouth of the small gorge. If you want to break the city of Xining, you must first punish this guy.

Liu Jintang said: His subordinates immediately led the 18th battalion of Xiangyong to attack the mouth of the big and small gorges, sweeping Shaanxi and Qingyi.

Zuo Zongtang said: The general, the heart of the three armies, the strength of the same soldiers, the anger is a thousand miles, and the power is all things. He is already a general, and he is also a minion of the country; Don't be like Liu Songshan and Fu Xianzong, who insist on taking the lead and making big mistakes.

Liu Jintang said: The subordinates strictly follow the instructions of Zuo Shuai.

On July 26, 1872, Liu Jintang led his army into Nianbo.

Dong Fuxiang, the secretary of the Ganjun capital, said: To the east of Xining, the Huangshui River Valley stretches for more than 80 miles, and there is a narrow road in between, which is the place where our army must pass; On both sides of the river valley, the cliffs are towering, the opposition is thousands, Ma Guiyuan, Bai Yanhu are equal to the big and small Nanchuan, the big and small gorges are dangerous, widely spread heavy troops, build more than 50 fortresses; This battle is destined to be difficult.

Liu Jintang said: Pingrong Station, Maying Bay, and Thirty Miles of Pu Lianda Gorge Mouth, all three places are to rush; I immediately led the Chinese army to Pingrong Post to set up camp and defend against the enemy nearby; Tan Shanglian's department settled in Maying Bay, and He Zuolin's department settled in Thirty Miles to protect the back road.

Dong Fuxiang said: Ma Guiyuan and Bai Yanhu and the two bandits gathered in the small gorge, Cui Wei and Bi Dacai stood in the north and south of the big gorge, and General Liu must not risk his life. Under the standard, the three battalions of Dong Zi were led, and the strikers stifled the enemy.

Liu Jintang said: If the soldiers are dangerous, they will be comfortable! Passing on my military order, the officers and troops entered the mouth of the big and small gorges at the Pingrong Station, and passed through here, and Tu Wei could not be frightened.

Liu Jintang's army arrived at Pingrongyi, Shaanxi Animus Bai Yanhu was very panicked, and hurriedly said: Surprise attack its unpreparedness, intercept its grain road and cut off its back road, the demon army collapsed, I immediately led Shaanxi to copy thirty miles, Maying Bay, wait for me to succeed, immediately poured out of the fort, homeopathic to cover up.

Ma Sanwa, the commander of the Xining Army, and Ma Shou, the commander of the Datong Army, both said: We are looking forward to the tiger and the horse.

Bai Yanhu said: Soldiers, capricious and erratic. If the offensive is blocked, the army relies on the mouth of the big gorge, fights for a long time, and then retreats to the south bank of Huangshui, relying on the pass of the small gorge, and fights to the death with the demon.

Cui Weidao, Shaanxi Animus: Mayinggou is surrounded by mountains and ravines, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our troops crossed the mountains and mountains, swaggered out, attracting the main force of the demon, and the tiger commander took the opportunity to lead the main horse team to attack the thirty mile shop. Hu Shuai succeeded, and then flanked Maying Bay, and contacted my momentum, and great things could be accomplished.

On August 5, Cui Wei's army of more than 1,000 troops marched into Maying Bay.

When Liu Jintang heard the news, he galloped back to help. Jintang observed the battle situation and said: The thief army is all over the mountains, the thunder and rain are small, and there will be fraud! Who are the thieves?

Ma Zhanao said: General Liu, the thief is one of the four major commanders of Shaanxi, and Cui Wei is also.

Dong Fuxiang said: General Liu, the thief Bai Yanhu will attack my thirty miles of shop, and he will lead the headquarters and respond quickly to the aid.

Liu Jintang said: He Junmen is a horse and a foot in the eighth battalion, and the strong wall does not come out, so he can deal with it. Our soldiers are divided into three routes, Tao Shenglin's artillery team moves forward, Xiong Longming's horse is in the center, General Dong is on the left, our department is on the right, and our horses, infantry, and artillery are coordinated, and the thieves in front of us are annihilated first.

Liu Jintang's offensive was cold, Cui Wei couldn't resist, and he fled in embarrassment.

Thirty miles of shop, He Zuolin can't close the base, far away is cannon muskets, near spears and sharp blades. Bai Yan's tiger horse team attacked more than ten times, but it was also in vain.

Bai Yanhu, Cui Wei and others retreated, and all the generals were happy, but Liu Jintang said: The bandits only hurt their fur, and they will definitely fight back; Yu Huen's department, quickly out of Maying Bay, and set up an ambush mainly; Tao Shenglin's department quickly detoured to the west of the mouth of the Great Gorge and copied the back road of the Beishan bandit army; Tan Heyi's department, after swimming across the Huangshui as soon as possible, plagiarized the Nanshan bandit army; Li Shuangliang and Zhang Junbu went straight to the mouth of the Great Gorge and hit its lair.
