Chapter 175 Really, that's a good time to catch up.
.Flying in the wind and whistling under the military flag, Lin Shaozhang immediately took a sword and lined up five hundred card swords, blocking the Qing army like a mountain. In fact, it was even more majestic than the mountain.
Tazib almost didn't breathe in one breath.
The Hunan Army officials were many scholars, and each face was ashes. While they were frightened, the situation in front of them suddenly reminded them of the Huarong Road back then. Yes, it was a bit similar. The Taiping Army was full of energy and was waiting for work, but the Hunan Warriors were exhausted and had less energy. However, the difference was that Tazibu could not catch up with Cao Aman, and Lin Shaozhang was not the so-called "Sage Guan" who forgot the righteousness for the sake of the whole matter.
"Those who surrender will not die!" This loud shout was undoubtedly the thunder in the sky echoed in the valley, and the earth seemed to tremble. Among Xiang Yong, who was lying horizontally and vertically on the ground, and even too lazy to get up, there would definitely be people who fainted with Lin Shaozhang's loud shout.
It was also with this loud shout that the Hunan Army no longer existed. The tragic and heroic army that an army should have at its last moment of demise was not here, and there was a little more ridiculousness. The so-called Hunan Army was just a small passing cloud.
When Zeng Guofan was escorted to the Tianjun camp outside Zhuzhou City by his own trusted guard, he realized that no wonder they always attacked on a small scale on a tentative basis. There were not many people in the camp, and they were all bluffing and scaring tricks. Alas, this really fits the saying, soldiers are the tricks! It seems that this way of using troops is not that fun. Who can blame? I can only blame myself. I used too much to think about the way of exploring the camp, and I read a lot of books, but I didn't study the tactics carefully.
Zeng Guofan was transferred to Changsha. Of course, he was companion with Zuo Zongtang, who seemed to have known that he would come.
"Brother Disheng, it's been a long time since I saw Zeng Guofan, and Zuo Zongtang quickly got up, looking a little happy. Alas, although the place where he was detained was not in the prison, there were too few people talking every day. In fact, it was not that there were too few people talking. People would come to chat with him every day, but when it touched on more realistic issues, he was still a little embarrassed and didn't want to talk in depth. Now, it's time for old friends to get together.
"Ji... Ji Gao? You didn't..." Zeng Guofan looked at Zuo Zongtang in front of him with surprise, who seemed to be as comfortable as usual, and then subconsciously looked at the closed door. Until now, he was still a little absent-minded. He might have felt that his sin was too deep, and waiting for him would never be better than cutting him into pieces.
"Yes, I'm still alive." Zuo Zongtang was a smart man after all. After talking to Shi Dakai, he thought about it for a long time. It seemed that the Taiping Army did not want to kill him at all. Of course, it might also include the "Zeng Shaved Head" in front of him. The Taiping Army is too powerful. They not only want to conquer the world, but also want to conquer the psychology of all kinds of people. And themselves and Zeng Guofan may be the weapons they hold in their hands.
"Sit, sit, don't stand stupidly," Zuo Zongtang pulled Zeng Guofan, who looked stiff all over his body, sitting on the chair beside the table, pouring tea and comforting, "Since you come, you can rest assured. When you come in, you will see it. This is the backyard of the former governor's yamen. Well, it is now the residence of their Changsha chief general. I remember that this house was the place where the seventh concubine Luo Bingzhang married to us used to live. Apart from this main hall, there are two suites on the left and right. Haha, you and I each one. Don't always look at the door. Don't worry, as long as you and I don't leave the door, this place will be our world for the time being."
Listening to Zuo Zongtang nagging casually, Zeng Guofan gradually became a little calmer, "Ji Gao, it's really in Xiangxiang..." He sighed and shook his head.
"Oh, all the news you can get in Zhuzhou is true." Zuo Zongtang handed the poured tea to Zeng Guofan, suddenly lamented, and looked at Zeng Guofan, "Li Xianzhang came here yesterday. He was already the magistrate of Xiangxiang County. Brother, I have something to tell you. The corpses of your brothers were cast into an iron statue and knelt outside the Confucian Temple. Also, the people in Xiangxiang hated you. The day before yesterday, the people made trouble and calmed your ancestral home. If it weren't for their persuasion in time, those people who were taken out of Xiangxiang and lost their lives would be killed...."
Zeng Guofan sat down blankly, his hands holding the tea cup trembling. The words Zuo Zongtang said were not important to him now, and he was considering his own destiny.
He felt that he was different from Zuo Zongtang. He was a senior official of the court and was a prominent figure no matter what. The Taiping Army would not let him go easily. In a short while, their important generals would interrogate themselves. This room was indeed good, and it seemed that he had the taste of living by a spoiled woman in the past. Unfortunately, Zuo Zongtang might be destined to live here, but this official might not have the blessing.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door really opened. Zeng Guofan was shocked and the water in his cup was spilled all over.
"Master..." The one who choked in was his concubine, Jiaoxiu.
Shi Xiangzhen had no time to deal with Zeng Guofan and not Zeng Guofan. It was a matter of time before he could fall. When he besieged Zhuzhou, he expanded his troops everywhere, and began to use troops to Liling, tempting Liling defenders to come out for assistance under the name of Zhuzhou, and then surrounded and annihilated them. He followed the situation and opened up the connection with the Hu Yihuang army on the east road. Then, he turned around and personally led a large army to seize Shaoyang City. At this point, the land in central Hunan was completely under the rule of the Celestial Empire.
After the wing king Shi Dakai recovered Changde, he successively seized Cili, Sang Zhi, Linli, and Shimen, occupied the police, and gathered with the troops from Shunjiangxi of Wuchang to prepare to launch the Jingzhou Battle.
The heavenly army's reputation was unparalleled, and wherever they went, it was like a destruction. Not only that, people along the way and in the area controlled by the Heavenly Dynasty enthusiastically joined the iron stream of the heavenly army, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered under the city of Jingzhou. Shi Dakai's young heart was beating excitedly.
If you seize Jingzhou and take advantage of the victory to sweep Yichang, the Yangtze River will become an insurmountable barrier for Qing Yao. Any government or military orders will never flow into the south of the Yangtze River. If the development continues according to the expected situation, the Eastern Expedition Army will successfully capture the entire Jiangsu, and half of the southern part of the Yangtze River will soon become the object of our Heavenly Dynasty. Pacify and manage Jiangnan, entangle with Qing Yao in northern Anhui, eliminate the vitality of Qing Yao, strengthen himself, and weaken the opponent. It seems that Brother Haifeng's strategy is very practical. Shi Dakai thought and walked out of the tent.
At night, the oncoming river breeze made people feel a bit harsh, but there was a scene of rushing on the dock by the river. Here, the torches disperse the night, and a large number of rear support personnel sweated heavily, shouted horns, and unloaded various supplies from the ferry. Shi Dakai knew that among the thousands of people who supported the battle of the Heavenly Army, not only were there people from Wuchang and Yuezhou, but also from Changsha to join the transport team.
"Be careful!" Shi Dakai saw the old man who was not tall and thin, but had shoulders to fight against marijuana and almost fell down. He shouted quickly and took two steps forward to support the old man, "Oh, I said, brother, this kind of heavy work should be left to the young people to do, don't get tired of your body."
"It's okay, it's okay, I was just a careless person just now." The old man stubbornly broke away from the helper and continued to move forward.
"Haha, okay, then I'll support you behind you." Shi Dakai smiled helplessly.
"No, no," the old man finally put the mashed bag on the grain truck, afraid of his hands, "You, this is helping you. I would have been..." He turned around and was stunned. He didn't know any words, so he didn't know how old the "make-up guy" was, but he knew the robe embroidered with a dragon on the man in front of him.
"King... Prince, you are a thousand years old, Xiaomin..." The old man was so panicked that he was at a loss.
"Haha, old brother, I don't think I'm making trouble, but you're going to make trouble." Shi Da smiled happily, "Didn't our Tianjun make regulations long ago? People over forty-five can't send husbands, you're over." With the help of the light of torches around him, Shi Dakai looked at the old man in front of him with wrinkles on his face, revealing endless vicissitudes.
"Qiansui is joking, Xiaomin... Xiaomin is not over forty-five miles." "Old man" grinned embarrassedly, "My family also said that I am a little older."
Shi Dakai's smile was restrained, and his heart felt ache. It was not that he looked older, but that was all the hardships of painful years! "Old brother, we are already very happy to be able to support Tianjun. We must do our best, take good care of our health, and enjoy our happiness in the future!" He pulled the young "old man" and sat down, "Come on, take a rest first, and let's talk by the way."
"Yes, yes," the "old man" was infected by the easy-goingness of the prince in front of him. "As soon as the heavenly army arrived, we had our own land, which was something that the eight generations of ancestors dared not think about. For this reason, I also want to help the heavenly army more, and we cannot ask the Qing soldiers to come back."
"Okay!" Shi Dakai took his hand and patted him gently, "Old brother, surname Gao, what else is there at home?"
"If you go back to Qiansui, Xiaomin's surname is Liu. The gentleman said that the big willow tree is Liu, and there is a child at home to take care of him." At this point, Old Man Liu became proud, "My son followed us when our Tianjun was the first time the Tianjun fought Changsha. His name is Liu Xihe, but he doesn't know where he is now?"
"Liu Xihe, are you Liu Xihe's father?" Shi Dakai shook Old Man Liu's hand, "What a coincidence. Let me tell you, your son is a great hero, the first to attack Yuezhou City. He is now living happily, the subordinate of General Shi Xiangzhen, Changsha. Oh, it's a pity that he is still in Hengzhou now, but it won't take long to go home to visit your two elders. Haha, it's true that he is my hero!"
"Really, that's a good relationship." Old Man Liu's eyes were radiating...
