"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

Zeng Guofan said angrily, "What you said is just your wishful thinking, the wheel of history does not need you to guide him, he will walk according to the trajectory!

"Come on, behead this traitor!" Zeng Guoquan also directly threw out the chopping token.

As he spoke, a burly executioner strode over directly, holding a big knife, and was about to cut off Li Yucheng's neck.

Li Yucheng was not afraid at all, but instead raised his head and sighed: "There are no heroes at the time, and the shaft will become famous! The wheel of history will eventually crush the eagle dogs!"

The executioner was about to cut off Li Yucheng's head, when a cold voice suddenly appeared not far away: "I'm here, who dares to kill the loyal king Li Yucheng?"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone turned their eyes to the source of the sound.

"Who dares to criticize at this time?"

Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see that on the top of a teahouse not far away, there was a handsome young man, this young man was dressed in gray clothes, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, about one person tall, it was Hong Tiangui.

Li Yucheng had already closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, and when he heard this familiar voice at this moment, he hurriedly looked back, but when he saw the Young Heavenly King appearing near here, he was suddenly shocked and shouted: "Young Heavenly King, you run!"

This Li Yucheng is loyal to the Lord, when he was captured, he just wanted Hong Tiangui to escape, but he didn't expect that Hong Tiangui himself actually came back, he was naturally very anxious, and he wanted to fight again.

When Zeng Guofan saw the visitor, he was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there." I couldn't find you when I saw it, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid that you came back by yourself! ”

"Alas. Seeing this, Li Yucheng also knew that it was too late, so he immediately shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of disappointment.

Shen Ye calmly said to Li Yucheng: "Uncle Yucheng, don't worry, they can't catch me." ”

"How is this possible?"

Li Yucheng smiled bitterly, even he was not Zeng Guofan's opponent, how could this young heavenly king be the opponent of these people, even if he wanted to save himself, it was just a waste of his life.

At this time, several of Zeng Guofan's subordinates also had a dispute over who would catch Shen Ye.

"Lord Zeng, since this Hong Tiangui has appeared, let me go and capture it, right?" Zeng Guoquan was the first to stand up and took the initiative to say to Zeng Guofan.

Capturing Hong Tiangui is far more important than capturing Li Yucheng! This Zeng Guoquan naturally wanted to make such a great contribution.

"This ......"

Zeng Guofan was about to answer, but at this moment, another official walked out, and he said, "Zeng Guoquan Zeng, you have already arrested Li Yucheng, and you have already made a great achievement, such a trivial matter, why don't you let me come?"

This official, named Liu Jintang, is dignified, but his complexion is pale, which is caused by excessive indulgence, and he has not been promoted for a long time, so he now very much wants to rely on merit to promote his official position.

When Zeng Guoquan heard this, it was not easy to refuse, after all, the cake should be divided equally, since he already had merits, it was naturally not easy to fight for it, otherwise it would be difficult to continue to mix among his colleagues.

Thinking of this, Zeng Guoquan suddenly bowed his hand politely and said: "Since this is the case, I will not win people's love." ”

"Haha, thank you so much, thank you Lord Zeng for agreeing. Liu Jintang was very happy and bowed his hand to Zeng Guoquan again and again.

Seeing this, Zeng Guofan was about to agree to Liu Jintang's request, when another official walked out and said: "It is enough to rely on the people in our army to capture such things as the traitors, how can we bother your lords?"

This official has the air of a tiger, and it is Li Hongzhang.

When Liu Jintang saw Li Hongzhang stand up, his breath suddenly stagnated, and he said with a wry smile: "Since Master Li has decided to take action in person, then I can just watch a good show." ”

This Liu Jintang's status is not as good as Li Hongzhang, so naturally he did not dare to compete with him, so he had to politely admit this great opportunity for meritorious service.

"The so-called killing of chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, such a trivial matter, how can Master Li personally take action?" At this time, another official walked out and said to Li Hongzhang, "This little thing, I will complete it for Lord Li!"

This official's name is Liu Mingchuan, and he also has a military background and does not belong to Li Hongzhang, so he dares to stand up and compete for merit.

Li Hongzhang was about to refute, but at this moment, Peng Yulin, Hu Linyi and other people with military backgrounds all stood up and competed for this opportunity: "We are also willing to serve Lord Zeng and capture that traitor!"

"This ......" Li Hongzhang frowned, in the face of so many military people competing for merit, Rao is a little unbearable alone.

"It's up to Lord Zeng to decide. At this time, Zeng Guoquan threw this mess to Zeng Guofan again.

As soon as these words came out, everyone set their eyes on Zeng Guofan, and the decision was still in Zeng Guofan's hands.

Seeing this, Zeng Guofan only thought for a moment and said: "Lin Yi has the shallowest qualifications and is in urgent need of merit, otherwise, how about you give up to your juniors and give him a chance?"

Zeng Guofan is worthy of being an old bureaucrat, what he said was very ingenious, very balanced, it can be said that it is not revealed, not only does not offend people, but also gives everyone a face, and most importantly, makes a decision.

He has a good relationship with Hu Linyi, which is a well-known thing, but he didn't mention it like that, but talked about his age, giving people a feeling of having to concede.

Don't let?

Do you still want to compete for face with a junior?

Thinking of this, Zeng Guoquan, Liu Jintang, Li Hongzhang, Liu Mingchuan, and Peng Yulin glanced at each other, and after understanding, they all bowed their hands and said politely: "Lord Zeng is wise, since this is the case, we will no longer compete for this opportunity." ”

"Lin Yi, seize this opportunity, this is Lord Zeng's great love for you. ”

"Yes, this opportunity is rare, you must seize it, and you will be on the rise in the future, but don't forget Master Zeng, forget about me." ”

Although it is a pity, Zeng Guofan has spoken at this moment, and he can only take advantage of the steps to concede, and by the way, he also cares like an elder.

"Thank you, Lord Zeng, thank you seniors for your concession! The younger generations will not dare to forget. ”

That Hu Linyi was also very surprised, and saw him hurriedly bend down and arch his hand and say.

You must know that this Hong Tiangui is the son of Hong Xiuquan, and capturing him is a great credit! I didn't expect that his own qualifications, the most shallow, actually got such a rare opportunity in the end, how could he not be happy?
