Before dawn, the soldiers on the north bank of Lin Fengxiang's troops had already arrived at the city. After entering the city and asking carefully, they learned that Bao Qibao, the Hunan Admiral of the Qing army, had been killed in the cannon.

Li Kaifang sneered: "I'll die by being shot, and it's a good deal for this demon head."

Xiao Yungui was ecstatic. Could it be that Bao Qibao was the scapegoat who was killed in the cannon? He immediately patted Lin Fengxiang on the shoulder and said, "This is really great news. How many casualties are our army?"

Lin Fengxiang also said happily: "There are not many casualties in our army. When our army was out yesterday, the Qing demons had already fled in all directions. My younger brother led his troops to pursue them for more than ten miles and captured a lot. According to the Qing demons caught, Luo Raodian, the Qing demon's assistant minister, was under the escort of the Qing demon, Yue Xing'a, the Changsha Prefect Mei, the Changsha County Magistrate Chen Biye, and Shanhua County Magistrate Wang Baosheng and other civil officials. The other Qing demons, except for Hunan Dushitaqibu, did not know where to escape, were killed by our army. This battle was really good."

Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Lin, you can leave all the matters after returning to the city to Li Zuoche. We must go to Miaogao Peak in the south of the city first." At that moment, Xiao Yungui discussed the strategy of keeping the danger or not to keep the spray that he discussed with Li Kaifang last night.

After hearing this, Lin Fengxiang nodded repeatedly and said, "This method is very good. Now that two Qing Demon reinforcements have been broken, I expect the rest of Qing Demon will definitely stop moving forward. Before the Chenzhou Brigade arrives, we will build camps in the dangerous places outside the city. When the Chenzhou Brigade arrives, Hengzhou Qing Demon Brigade will definitely come. If we occupy the dangerous places, we can attack Qing Demon head-on and help the brigade enter the city."

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and groaned a few times. His idea of ​​guarding the danger and not being able to keep the storm reminded him that after the arrival of the Chenzhou brigade, if the troops he raised could occupy the land outside the city, even if someone wanted to plan on him, he would throw them into trouble. Moreover, he led his troops outside the city. Seeing that the momentum was not good, it would be more convenient to apply oil to the soles of his feet.

At that moment, Xiao Yungui, Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang led dozens of brand-name swordsmen to look south of the city. When they arrived at the Huangdao Gate in the south of the city, they saw Li Yiwenzheng arguing with a teacher. Xiao Yungui rode his horse and saw that he was Zuo Zongtang.

Xiao Yungui turned over and got off the horse and walked forward, frowned and asked, "Li Yiwen, why are you arguing with this person?"

Li Yiwen stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Highness the Western King, this person said he knew you, and he also said he would go out of the city today."

Xiao Yungui glanced at Zuo Zongtang and thought to himself that this old guy was not honest and stayed out at Zhu Changlin's mansion to do something? Didn't he send a few people to stare at him? Why didn't this old guy go out of the city and no one came to report it?

Xiao Yungui walked up and touched his nose and smiled, "Mr. Gao, are you going out of the city?"

Zuo Zongtang flicked the corner of his robe and straightened his back and said, "Xi Wang, you are not very open-minded in your work. I have found some people to follow and leave, and I finally got rid of them. Now I am going out of the city, and you are stopping me again. Have you forgotten that we had three high-fives in the lobby of the governor's yamen?"

After hearing the two of them answered, Li Yiwen realized that they knew each other really. He didn't know if his friend who stopped the Western King would be criticized by the Western King. However, seeing that Xiao Yungui had no intention of blame, he felt a little at ease.

Xiao Yungui realized after hearing this. What a person Zuo Zongtang was like. The person he sent to monitor must have been knocked out by him. He frowned and said, "Of course I remember that, but the war is not over now, so no one is allowed to go out of the city."

Zuo Zongtang approached Xiao Yungui, and the knives were immediately alert, and they all pressed the handle of the knife and looked at him coldly. Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said, "Mr. Gao, it's okay." The knives retreated slightly, but everyone pressed the handle of the knife and looked at Zuo Zongtang vigilantly. It seemed that the last time Xiao Yungui's incident in Jingtang Village made the guards feel dereliction of duty, and any stranger who was close to Xiao Yungui was taken by the guards.

Zuo Zongtang smiled and stepped forward and whispered: "You have just won a great victory in the West. I guess the official army will not attack for a while. Don't let me swear."

Xiao Yungui widened his eyes and said, "How do you know we won the battle?"

Zuo Zongtang closed his sleeves and said, "The soldiers returned to the city yesterday to win the victory. The two victories in Wujialing and Jingtang Village were widely praised by the soldiers of the noble army in the city. I am afraid that the children of Changsha will know about it. Do you think you are deaf in the West?"

Xiao Yungui was stunned. He thought about it. After winning the battle, he naturally said it everywhere. No wonder his brothers under him. He snorted, "Even if he wins, he doesn't mean he can open the city."

Zuo Zongtang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Xi Wang, you betray me again. If you don't open the city, will the people in Changsha be in the city forever?" He followed him and said, "Xi Wang, you should think about taking advantage of the defeat of the government army and seize the dangerous land to defend. No matter how rich Changsha City is, there will be times when the oil, rice, salt and food are exhausted, so that the people in the city will be allowed to eat and trade the merchants when they leave the city, and dispatch the remaining and shortage of supplies."

Xiao Yungui's muscles twitched on his face. Damn, Zuo Zongtang is indeed powerful. He can tell from a glance that all the leopard actually thought about what he would do next. Such a person is really a bit scary. In an instant, Xiao Yungui regretted the betting game with him, so he thought about how to get rid of this disaster first. Since he can't use it for me, he can't follow the enemy.

Zuo Zongtang looked at Xiao Yungui's uncertain expression and frowned and said, "West King, can you go back on your word?"

Xiao Yungui whispered in a low voice: "You are too talented, and I really regret it."

Zuo Zongtang smiled faintly and said, "If you dare to come here, even if you decide everything, it is easy for you to regret it, and it is easy for you to kill me, but are you not afraid of the coldness of the famous scholars in Hunan? I, Zuo Zongtang, feeding tigers with my body, and it is worth it to wake up the famous scholars in Xianghu when I die."

Xiao Yungui's face turned slightly green with anger. The old man was so fucking hard that he was hard to deal with, but he instantly changed his smile and said, "Haha, just kidding. Mr. Gao is so serious. Mr. Gao is going to leave the city. I will see him off in person."

Zuo Zongtang said oh, nodded slightly and said, "Xi Wang, Xi Wang, you are really a character. You can tolerate what others cannot tolerate. Zuo must look up to you again."

Xiao Yungui laughed a few times, and led Zuo Zongtang out of the city. He greeted the female relatives of Zuo Zongtang's family in his heart. Zuo Zongtang praised himself as Jin Liang, and he was really arrogant. But then he thought that killing him would really cut off the idea of ​​famous scholars from all sides coming to vote. The Taiping Army lacked scholars, and the doctrines he received were thousands of miles away. If he killed famous scholars indiscriminately, he should have said goodbye to the intellectual class completely. What can he do with just a group of mud legs? A small impotence will cause chaos in big plans. Xiao Yungui did not want to kill one person and reject thousands of people.

When they arrived at the Golden Rooster Bridge, several Taiping Army silos saw the Western King coming in person, and they stood on both sides to line up to welcome him. Although they were not many, everyone was dressed in a strong and powerful manner. They were all old brothers of the Taiping Army. They were also obeyed and ordered, and they were uniform, with dozens of people but hundreds of people.

Zuo Zongtang looked at it and twisted his beard and said, "It turns out that there are no weak soldiers under the command of the strong general. The Western King's soldiers and horses are all majestic. Zuo really admires it. By the way, I wonder what the Western King intends to leave the city this time?"

Xiao Yungui knew that it would be difficult to praise Zuo Zongtang, so he smiled and said, "Go out of the city and have fun."

Zuo Zongtang smiled and said, "You are really a traitor and heroic ruler. Nine out of ten sentences are false. Zuo guessed that the King of Western went out of the city to check out dangerous places outside Changsha."

Xiao Yungui widened his eyes and said, "Do you know again?"

Zuo Zongtang smiled, glanced behind him and said, "I didn't know it just now, but now I know it."

Xiao Yungui looked back and saw that among the people who followed him out of the city, several dictionary officials couldn't wait to take out the map and point fingers at the streets, bridges, and houses outside the city.

Xiao Yungui laughed dryly and said, "Since Mr. Gao guessed, I recognized it. But Mr. He knew what I was going to do when I left the city, but I didn't know where I left the city. It seems unfair. Please ask Mr. He to tell me where I want to go?"

Zuo Zongtang frowned and said, "Zuo wants to revisit the old place."

Xiao Yungui said with an oh, "Mr. Is it the place where I studied in the past when I heard that there is Chengnan Academy on Miaogao Peak. Doesn't it mean that I want to visit here again?"

Zuo Zongtang said in a little surprised: "How did you guess?"

Xiao Yungui smiled proudly and said, "Although Mr. said he left the city today, he did not bring a bag of dry food. He must have gone far. He was dressed well and seemed to have burned incense and bathed. It was like we were worshiping and paying respect to the Heavenly Father. However, Mr. respected Confucian sages and came to the south of the city. Didn't he go to the Confucian Academy, a place of Confucian education?"

Zuo Zongtang looked at Xiao Yungui blankly, and after a while, he raised his thumbs up and said, "The Western King is indeed extraordinary, Zuo has learned it."

Xiao Yungui finally regained some face, felt at ease, and then said, "I want to go to Miaogaofeng, so why not wait with me all the way."

Zuo Zongtang's expression changed slightly: "West King, if you lead troops to Chengnan Academy, you can't disturb the Confucian scholars and students there."

Xiao Yungui patted his chest and said, "I said that today is just a tour and do nothing else."

Zuo Zongtang was a little stunned, always thinking that Xiao Yungui's words were extremely unreliable. Everyone walked along the way and went straight to Chengnan Academy on Miaogao Peak.
