Zeng Guoquan was silent, he forced Zeng Jiyun to stay by his side.One is to help the eldest brother take care of this niece, and the other is to leave a way out for himself.People are not sages, who can not be a little selfish.The emperor should be a good one, until the last moment, who can let go of the temptation of this right.After Zhao Liewen retreated, Zeng Guoquan called someone to call Zeng Jiyun up.These days I am busy with official business, and I haven't talked to this niece much."
The emperor is blessed, Ji Yun has seen the emperor."
Zeng Jiyun heard that Uncle Nine wanted to see him, so he quickly sorted out his makeup and came to the study with his subordinates.Now that Zeng Guoquan is the emperor, everything has to be done according to the rules.Zeng Jiyun shouted to the emperor in his mouth, but his heart was full of awkwardness."
Ji Yun, sit down.I haven't seen you for many days, I miss Uncle Jiu" Zeng Guoquan beckoned her to sit down, and asked the maid waiting outside the door to pour tea for Zeng Jiyun."
Ji Yun keeps Uncle Nine in her heart every day, thinking that you can talk to me when you are free."
Zeng Jiyun saw that Zeng Guoquan's complexion was good, so she playfully joked with him and took a sip of the tea bowl."
Ji Yun, Uncle Nine asked you to come over today, mainly to talk to you about Qiao Zhiqing.You have also been by his side for a long time, do you think he can be trusted" Zeng Guoquan asked in a calm tone, he had never been in contact with Qiao Zhiqing, and he didn't dare to believe Qiao Zhiqing easily."
Of course I can believe it" Zeng Jiyun heard Uncle Jiu talk about Qiao Zhiqing, and immediately came to his senses, and continued to reply with excitement on his face, "Brother Qiao is a person who values love and righteousness, and the generals who defected to him at the beginning, whether it was the court or the Taiping army, he gave him great use.If Uncle Nine is willing to listen to me and make peace with Qiao Zhiqing, he will definitely not kill them all. ”"You, you haven't married him yet, so you spoke for him."
Zeng Guoquan looked at this niece helplessly, and said that it was the water spilled by the married girl.This girl who has not married is also spilled water."
I'm telling the truth, when my father was there, I couldn't get along with Qiao Zhiqing.Now that he is an old man and an immortal, I don't want you and Qiao Zhiqing to be in such a stalemate.You said that it would be good for us to sit down and talk with the amiable people, why do we have to meet each other" Zeng Jiyun persuaded earnestly with a small face, and when she talked about her father, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart."
Okay, don't be sad, what you say Uncle Nine will think about it carefully."
Zeng Guoquan saw that her face was ugly, and he didn't want to talk about these sad things anymore.When the eldest brother was there, in order to save his name, he did not agree to her marriage with Qiao Zhiqing.has been dragging things out until now, and it's really embarrassing for this girl."
Then please ask Uncle Nine to think about it, and my niece will retire."
Zeng Jiyun shook his head, got up and went out.I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, now that Uncle Nine has mentioned this matter, it is very likely that he has plans for peace talks.If he and Qiao Zhiqing can reconcile, it will be a great thing.Chen Feixiong of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province had just returned to the mansion with the men and horses of the Xiong Zijun, and when he saw Guo Songlin, he angrily slapped his waist knife on the table.Today, Liu Kun marched south in a big way and attacked Xifeng County, the gateway to Guiyang.Along the way, Chen Feixiong was pulled out one after another, and thirty-two strongholds were deployed.The whole territory of Guizhou is full of lofty mountains and mountains, and these strongholds are located between mountain passes, and only one mountain road can be passed.There are artillery, rolling wood, and stones on it, and it is completely impossible to open it.As soon as Liu Kun came up, he bombarded indiscriminately with mortars, and he didn't need to use the infantry at all.Now that the navy's fleet has arrived in Chongqing, Liu Kunyi no longer has to worry about ammunition supply.Chen Feixiong's artillery did not work at all, and only one round of shells was fired, and the entire stronghold was blown into pieces by the falling mortar shells.The soldiers of the Xiongzi army are as brave as seeing the gods, and they hurriedly retreated, where is there still the courage to hold on."
Big brother, this battle is really not fought.Liu Kunyi is too fucking not a thing, he is ruthless and vicious, and he puts on a desperate posture as soon as he comes up.How to say that we are also from the Hunan army, and he doesn't miss the old relationship too much. ”Chen Feixiong scolded Guo Songlin hatefully, and his stomach was full of resentment.He was covered in rags, and he didn't have time to go back home to change it.After entering the city, he crossed the horse and went straight to the government office."
You take a look at this first, there are even worse" Guo Songlin handed the military report in his hand to Chen Feixiong, frowning sadly."
What's going on again" Chen Feixiong took the military report, and when he saw it, he had the same expression as Guo Songlin."
Brother Flying Bear, I just got the news.The troops of Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao of the Huaxing Army had already broken through Qujing City the day before yesterday.Our back road has been cut off, and now we want to retreat, and there is no way back. ”Guo Songlin spit out with a disappointed face, leaned back on the back of the chair and sighed weakly."
Isn't Qujing City garrisoned by Li Chendian's department, what is he doing to eat" Chen Feixiong's face was full of surprise, and after reading the military newspaper, he scolded in frustration and tore the military newspaper to pieces.Qujing City is not only the back road of Guiyang, but also the supply road of Guiyang's 100,000 army."
Brother Flying Bear, the Huaxing Army is well-armed.The army is well-trained, and it is not at all something we can compete with.Now we have only two ways left, either die for the emperor, or disarm and surrender. ”Guo Songlin's eyes were blank, and he secretly regretted it in his heart.When he was stationed in Jiaxing City, why did he choose to defect to Zeng Guoquan.If Qiao Zhiqing surrendered early, I am afraid that he would become a member of Qiao Zhiqing's side like Yang Zonglian and Xu Desheng."
No, there must be a way, big brother must not be discouraged" Chen Feixiong saw that he had chosen to give up, and was full of unconvinced persuasion."
What can I do, if I continue to fight, my brothers will all die.When we came to Yunnan, there were only more than 20,000 people in our direct line.The rest of these people are just indiscriminate, and they eat with their mouths.If you let them go to the front line and fight hard, isn't that just counting on rabbits to bite people" Guo Songlin spit out weakly, his face full of bitterness.After a few days of repeated consideration, he was now more and more inclined to raise troops and surrender.In this way, not only can you save the lives of your brothers, but also protect yourself for a good future."
What the eldest brother said just now reminded the brother, didn't you say that Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao have already occupied Qujing City, then their next move must be to capture Kunming.We can take advantage of the fact that we can lead the army south now, and we don't want Guiyang anymore.Then he stabbed the two of them in the back, and attacked Li Chendian in the north and south, maybe he could annihilate them in one fell swoop.If it is poor, it can also fight a way out and escape back to Dali. ”Chen Feixiong boldly put forward an opinion, and looked at Guo Songlin with full spirit."
Are you crazy and giving up Guiyang is equivalent to giving up the whole of Guizhou.Even if we escape back to Dali, do you think the emperor will let us go" Guo Songlin hurriedly stopped him, resolutely disagreeing with Chen Feixiong's suggestion."
It doesn't work, it doesn't work either.Big brother, what do you say, we can't stay here and wait for death.Now that the supply route has been completely cut off, relying on Guiyang's grain stock alone to feed an army of 100,000.Even if the Huaxing army doesn't attack, we will also starve to death" Chen Feixiong slapped the table, turned his head and squatted on the chair unhappily.Guo Songlin's mind kept thinking for a while, and finally he still stared at his eyebrows and said, "Second brother, now the Huaxing Army has the potential to sweep the world.Qiao Zhiqing treats people modestly, and many heroes in the world have defected to him.Why don't we also follow the trend of history, if we defect to him, we can be mixed with an official and a half-job" "Guo Songlin, how can you think like this, the emperor has the grace of knowing us, and gave the whole of Guizhou to our brother to take charge, what a great favor this is.If you don't think about repaying it, forget it, and still think about defecting to the enemy and betraying the country" As soon as Chen Feixiong heard Guo Songlin finish speaking, he stood up and drew his knife and aimed it at him.The blade is pressing, the cold light is shining, and the eyes are like torches."
Chen Feixiong, you were presumptuous, you and I became brothers at the beginning, and we said that we would share blessings and difficulties.What's the matter, I'm going to do it to your eldest brother now" Guo Songlin also stood up and met Chen Feixiong's gaze."
I, Chen Feixiong, am a well-known man, and I would rather die than vote for the second master.If you insist on defecting to the enemy, I, Chen Feixiong, will cut off my robe with you.This brother, we shouldn't either" Chen Feixiong scolded angrily, and the green tendons on his face were exposed."
Good, good, good.Chen Feixiong, you are a man, and I, Guo Songlin, am his mother's coward.Aren't you going to cut your robe and break your righteousness, then let's do it, we will part ways today" Guo Songlin did not give in, before Chen Feixiong came back, he was ready to turn his face."
Guo Songlin, our brothers are in vain, I didn't expect you to say such things for the sake of glory and wealth.Fortunately, from today onwards, you will take your sunny road, and I will take my single-plank bridge.This is the end of our brotherhood, and we will see you on the battlefield in the coming day" Chen Feixiong waved his right hand, the sword flashed, and the battle robe was immediately broken in half."
Why do you have to be so stubborn" Guo Songlin just wanted to use brotherhood to force Chen Feixiong to give in, but he didn't expect him to really cut off his robe."
Guo Songlin, now that we have cleared up, we have said goodbye," Chen Feixiong said hatefully, and turned around and went out."
Don't send it" Guo Songlin howled, and smashed his fist on the table with his right hand.Three days later, Liu Kun led his army to Guiyang City.Guo Songlin opened the city gate and surrendered, and he had already transferred a large army into the city.Therefore, after Liu Kun took Xifeng County, he did not encounter resistance along the way.The two of them used to work together under Zeng Guofan's account, so they were naturally very familiar.Liu Kun sent troops to disarm more than 50,000 people and horses in the city, and gathered them in the city to strictly control them.Then he quickly stepped up and sent the military report of Guiyang's great victory back to Nanjing.Chen Feixiong only took more than 50,000 Xiongzi troops to the south, and this time he held the belief that he would die, and attacked Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao's troops.prepared to attack Li Chendian inside and outside, in a vain attempt to defeat the two divisions of the Huaxing Army in one fell swoop.In the first battle of Guizhou, the Xiongzi Army and the Songzi Army only lost more than 10,000 people, and then took the whole territory.As soon as Liu Kun learned of Chen Feixiong's plan, he was afraid that Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao would be attacked on their backs.At the moment, the soldiers and horses were counted, leaving the middle division to guard the prisoners in Guiyang, and personally led the left division and the right division to pursue Chen Feixiong
