"Guangyuan, you have been with me the longest among these generals.Ben Shuai has brought out a lot of students in his life, and even many generals in the Huaxing Army are Ben Shuai's students.Ben Shuai doesn't want to hide it from you, it's not that I admit defeat, it's that we didn't have a chance to win in the first place.Whether it is in terms of weapons, troop resources, or logistics, we are no match for the Huaxing Army.Qiao Zhiqing is a talent, if Ben Shuai was more than ten years younger, he might have sympathized with him, but now Ben Shuai has already lived enough.Think about it when you go back and leave you a way out.You are still young, don't accompany Ben Shuai to death" After Luo Bingzhang finished speaking to Cai Guangyuan, he waved his hand tiredly, wanting to be quiet by himself for a while."
Take care of that commander, your subordinates will retreat" Cai Guangyuan's body couldn't help but tremble, he never thought that a generation of battlefield veterans, pillars of the country, would be so depressed at the last moment.In the middle of the night, news came from the army again.I don't know if it's gossip or it's true.Just today, Xiangyang City and Hanzhong City were lost one after another.The Huaxing army had two more armies all the way north and killed them in Xi'an.Now that he has rushed out of Xi'an City, there is no way back.Cai Guangyuan had no sleep all night, in the independent autumn wind, his eyes looked at the direction of the city wall coldly.This autumn, it seems to be unusually cold.The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, all the generals were ready for defense.But the Huaxing army did not attack, and was still on standby at the city wall, not knowing what it was waiting for.The people in Xi'an are panicked, and the Manchus are idle on weekdays, pointing to the Eight Banners of the Imperial Court to live their lives, and they are all panicked.As soon as dawn was assembled, they prepared to defend Xi'an City.Yesterday, they also participated in the battle to defend the city wall, but after a burst of artillery from the Huaxing army, this group of Eight Banners disciples all hid back in the city.The Xi'an general Tuo Ming'a turned out to be Shengbao's subordinate, and after Shengbao was beheaded by Rong Lu, he surrendered to Rong Lu.Later, Rong Lu served as the governor of Shanxi, and Tuo Ming'a was promoted to the general of Xi'an, stationed in Mancheng, with a total of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners.After dawn, Huaxingjun did not move, and Luo Bingzhang did not move.Tomin muttered in her heart, and bravely led her men out of the city.directly surrounded the mansion where Luo Bingzhang was, wanting to find out what Luo Bingzhang meant."
Your Excellency the Governor, now is the time for a counteroffensive.The Huaxing army stopped attacking, it must be that they were short of food and were waiting for supplies.Why didn't your soldiers move, is there an ulterior secret here" After Tomin sat down in the reception hall, his eyes squinted Luo Bingzhang, and he took a sip of the tea bowl unhappily, and kept fiddling with the tea leaves with the lid of the bowl."
I think the general misunderstood, yesterday my soldiers were a little tired after a day of fighting, so I rested for a while.If the general is in a hurry, take your Eight Banners Army to attack the northern city wall first.Then the old man will take the brothers to support you.When the time comes, drive away the Huaxing army, and the old man will be the first to take the credit of the general. ”Luo Bingzhang sneered, his words full of sarcasm.On weekdays, he doesn't want to manage these Eight Banner generals more, and they are not even as good as dogs at critical times, but they receive twice as much as the Han army every month."
Your Excellency Governor, what do you mean by complaining that General Ben didn't contribute yesterday Luo Bingzhang, do you believe that General Ben is on the fold and plays your crime of fear of the enemy and cowardice.Now the Huaxing army does not attack the city, and you do not counterattack.General Ben has reason to suspect that you are secretly colluding with the Huaxing army outside the city" As soon as Tuo Ming'a put the tea bowl on the table, he was about to get angry at the moment, and shouted at Luo Bingzhang, how could a Han army general dare to speak to him like this before."
Tomin, if you don't want to die, get out of here.When is it, and he is still posing in front of the Governor.You don't sweep the urine and take care of yourself, just your 5,000 Eight Banner Army, it's not enough for Lao Tzu to stuff his teeth" At this time, Cai Guangyuan, the general next to Luo Bingzhang, couldn't help but yell, and he really saw that Tuo Amin was not pleasing to the eye.On weekdays, it is okay to rely on the identity of the general of Xi'an to be powerful, and now Xi'an City is about to be breached.It's not good to talk about leading troops to arm, but what kind of stinky shelf did you come here to put up."
What is your identity, how dare you speak to General Ben like this.Come on, arrest this kid who doesn't know how to be inferior to Lao Tzu" Tomin was indignant, grabbed the tea bowl and fell to the ground, and waved his hand to let a team of pro-soldiers behind him opponent."
Brush, brush, brush" Ten bright swords were pulled out in an instant."
I see who dares" Cai Guangyuan didn't give in, and shouted, dozens of people rushed in outside the hall, all holding foreign guns, aiming at Toamin and his men."
Don't you want to rebel" Tuo Amin looked at the fierceness on Cai Guangyuan's face, and involuntarily took a few steps back in horror."
What do you want to do, Ben Shuai is not dead yet" Luo Bingzhang suddenly shouted, his eyes widened, and he slapped his hand on the table in front of him."
The marshal is angry, his subordinates don't dare" Cai Guangyuan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and waved his hand to let the soldiers in the hall go out."
Governor Luo, I will tell the court everything that happened today.Farewell" Tuo Amin finally walked out of the panic, tidied up his clothes, stammered a warning to Luo Bingzhang, and walked towards the door with his own soldiers."
General, this commander reminds you.You'd better defend the city with the Eight Banners Military Gate full of hearts, it is said that the Huaxing Army's policy towards foreign races has never been merciless.The Hui people are about to be slaughtered by them, if they take Xi'an City, the first one to clean up is you full people" Luo Bingzhang reminded Tuo Ming'a with disdain, sat down and coughed heavily.Tomina's eyes rolled when he heard this, and of course he had heard about it.As soon as Luo Bingzhang said this, there seemed to be a pressure on his shoulders.After going out, he hurriedly returned to Mancheng with the Eight Banner Soldiers, organized all the banner people in Mancheng, and strictly guarded against the attack of the Huaxing Army in Mancheng."
Guangyuan, why did you say that the Huaxing Army stopped attacking so well, what do they want to do" Luo Bingzhang thought for a long time in his seat, and asked Cai Guangyuan beside him."
The subordinates can't figure it out, now that the outer city has been broken, it is easy to take the inner city.But until now, I haven't heard the movement of Hua Xingjun, I don't know what they are paying attention to" Cai Guangyuan bowed and stood beside Luo Bingzhang, his face was full of doubts."
Then wait a little longer, they are probably waiting for the Huaxing army from Hanzhong and Xiangyang to come over and launch an attack together.We can only defend according to the fortifications in the city now, and if we attack, we will hit the muzzle of the Huaxing army" Luo Bingzhang nodded, waved his hand at Cai Guangyuan, and signaled him to retreat first."
Yes, my subordinates understand."
Cai Guangyuan replied with a fist, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and went out.He originally wanted to inform Luo Bingzhang of the situation last night, but in just one night, one-third of the soldiers and horses were missing.Luo Bingzhang didn't know that Qiao Zhiqing's military order had been issued to the front-line command in Xi'an last night.Before his student Zuo Zongtang arrived, Hua Xingjun, no matter which way he went, was not allowed to make a move against Xi'an City.One day there was nothing to do, and the people in Xi'an City rumored that Luo Bingzhang and Huaxing Army were negotiating peace, so Huaxing Army stopped attacking.The banner people in the city are depressed to death, and there are many Han people outside the city who are watching the city in the past few days.If it weren't for the fact that Toamin still had 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, these Han people would have rushed in and burned and looted.The banner people in Xi'an City are used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and they have offended many Han people.Now the Han people are gloating and staring at the flag people, and many people are looking forward to the Huaxing army coming in, so as to find the flag people to spread the sullenness in their hearts.After another day, Zuo Zongtang drove all the way and finally arrived at the city of Xi'an.After meeting with the generals at the front-line headquarters, he sent someone to Luo Bingzhang in the government to loosen a letter.As soon as Luo Bingzhang saw that it was Zuo Zongtang coming, he suddenly realized that what Hua Xingjun had been waiting for for the past two days was his proud protégé, Zuo Zongtang.The front-line headquarters of the Huaxing Army soon received a reply, and Zuo Zongtang did not let his own soldiers follow.directly sat in the carriage sent by Luo Bingzhang and entered the Xi'an Governor's Palace."
Teacher, the student can be regarded as seeing you again" Zuo Zongtang got out of the carriage, and as soon as he saw Luo Bingzhang, he leaned over and made a big salute."
Ji Gao, hurry up.You are now a general of the Huaxing Army, why bother to kneel down for the old man who is about to enter the ground" Luo Bingzhang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and beckoned him into the guest hall.The old man finally had a smile on his dull face for many days, and beckoned the maid to hurriedly pour tea for Zuo Zongtang."
Teacher, are you still complaining that the students voted for Huaxingjun in the first place" Zuo Zongtang calmed down and looked at Luo Bingzhang with a smile on his face."
The road came out on his own, and the old man never blamed you.You also have the heart to come and see the old man at this time.The old man is dead this time, and he is also content" Luo Bingzhang seemed to be much younger all of a sudden, and he spoke more easily, and hurriedly waved his hand to Zuo Zongtang."
Teacher, the students are here for your business.The students assure you that as long as you lead the army, the President will not embarrass you and your brothers. ”The time was urgent, and Zuo Zongtang no longer greeted, and directly explained his intention."
Ji Gao, can't you see the old man's temperament, the old man is seventy and three this year, the sage said, humanity is rare for seventy years.The old man has lived enough, and he doesn't need your president to be pitied. ”Luo Bingzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, Zuo Zongtang was able to see him at this critical time, he was already very satisfied."
Teacher, you were the one who taught the students in the first place.Rise up for the welfare of the world.Now that President Qiao is powerful all over the world, he is about to take back the world of our Han family, why do you want to bury us with this rotten Tartar dynasty again, and do something for the people of the world, wouldn't it be better" Zuo Zongtang persuaded again unwillingly, and secretly had some bad premonitions in his heart
