Zuo Zongtang saw that Dong Fuxiang was so stubborn, and he really wanted to kill Dong Fuxiang now, but he held back his breath and snorted heavily.Dong Fuxiang was detained by Zuo Zongtang like this, and his men went out of the city and arrived at the camp of Yixiao.Yixuan sighed, "Let him not go, don't go, he has to go, now it's okay, he accompanied a prince of alcohol, and now he has been arrested another Dong Fuxiang, you go down first, stabilize this thousand horse team, I'll figure out a way." ”Now Dong Fuxiang and Yixuan are righteous brothers, so Dong Fuxiang's subordinates are willing to obey Yixuan, and bowed down together and said: "Yes" What can Yixuan do, hurry up and find Xuan Jianzhang, the commander of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, who is camped fifty miles away.Xuan Jianzhang got President Meng's instructions that it was not a last resort, not to care about Yixuan's actions, and let the Qing army handle it by itself, although the unified army formed by Yixuan was controlled by the Chinese army and Huaguo, but in fact, it was still regarded as a Qing army, and the clothing and weapons were still the clothing and weapons of the green battalion soldiers.Yixuan informed Xuan Jianzhang of Dong Fuxiang's seizure.Xuan Jianzhang was furious, "This Zuo Zongtang, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, he actually dares to detain someone who has been electrified to take refuge in my Huaguo, this is clearly to confront the Chinese army, I will send troops to attack Xi'an City" Yi Liang waved his hand, although he was not as good as Xuan Jianzhang in the war, but he was better at handling things, especially for Qing court officialdom like Zuo Zongtang."
I know the strength of the Chinese army, but the president told me before, if you can not fight, it is better not to fight, if you fight this time, then, in the future, you have to fight everywhere, not a few years, where to fight to Sichuan If you fight from Sichuan, Yungui, Lianghu, all the way back to Beijing, how long will it take, you can't use swords and soldiers, general."
Xuan Jianzhang clenched his fist, "Then what else, do you have to let someone inform the emperor and let the emperor talk to this Zuo Zongtang in person, what is Zuo Zongtang, he also deserves to talk to the president, so what do you want us people to do" Yixuan actually wanted to ask, did the president have any instructions for Xuan Jianzhang, but Yixuan thought about it, even if he asked Xuan Jianzhang, he might not say, so he didn't ask.Yixuan nodded and said, "Inform the president that it is needed, as for what the president does, we will not care about it for now." ”At this time, it can be called President Meng, you can also call it the emperor, you can also call it the president, because, this is the position of the president of Meng, in the system, there are still many people who call the president, but everyone is called the emperor, and they also know that it refers to the president."
Then now, what do you say," Xuan Jianzhang said with a frown.Yixuan smiled and said: "It's not difficult, I'm here, I just want the general to send someone to talk to Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Zongtang's status, where is it better than the general, the general is willing to write to him personally, it is already to give Zuo Zongtang face, just say that if you don't release Dong Fuxiang and Prince Alcohol quickly, we will immediately contact the Gansu army to come over, flank Zuo Zongtang, only give him one day, and if he doesn't let go after one day, the general will use the newspaper to announce that Zuo Zongtang will be killed" Xuan Jianzhang nodded, "It's good, if he refuses to let go, even if I want to kill him, You have to wait for the president's approval, and you can't use the newspaper to send such news without authorization. ”Yi Xuan smiled, "General, I still don't understand the things in the officialdom, this is a secret letter between the general and Zuo Zongtang, and it is not really about to be disclosed in the newspaper, the general wrote a letter, just inform the president of this matter, and the president will definitely praise the general for being smart." ”Xuan Jianzhang said with a smile: "The president praises you for being smart, okay, I wrote this letter, and I will tell the president truthfully, it was you who came up with this idea, the president is the emperor of the Chinese Empire, you must not hide anything from the president, don't use your officialdom on the president, the officialdom of the Qing court, in China, will not work." ”Yi Liang said: "What the general said is this, I naturally know. ”Xuan Jianzhang's letter was soon delivered to Zuo Zongtang's hands.Zuo Zongtang coughed and slapped Xuan Jianzhang's letter on the table.Liu Jintang took it and looked at it, and said hatefully: "It seems that the Chinese army can't help it, and wants to do it with us in person, adults, we are not afraid of them, their Chinese army can fight, but we have 30,000 troops, and the walls of Xi'an City are high and thick, although the more than 20,000 Chinese troops are the elite of the Chinese army, but they did not bring heavy weapons to attack the city, so there is no way to take us." ”Zuo Zongtang waved his hand, "What I'm most afraid of is that this is not only Xuan Jianzhang's idea, but I am afraid that there is Xuan Yuemeng nodding behind him, and besides, among the Chinese army, the status of this Xuan Jianzhang is not trivial, and the first field division of the Chinese army is also the elite of the Chinese army, offending Xuan Jianzhang, we will be equivalent to completely turning our faces with Huaguo" "But, my lord, now we are unwilling to accept Huaguo's surrender, what is the difference between this and turning his face" Liu Jintang asked puzzled.Zuo Zongtang shook his head, "The difference is big, now there is no fight, there is no difference between fighting and not fighting, do you say there is a difference" Liu Jintang nodded, "But, just let go of Prince Alcohol and Dong Fuxiang's words, what about the face of the adult, what about the face of our Chu army, what about the face of our Chu army, is it not clear that our Chu army is afraid of their Chinese army, Lord, otherwise, pretend to release people, and as soon as everyone leaves the city, I will send cavalry to kill them all, and by the way, I will also serve Yixuan's promise" Zuo Zongtang sighed, "How can you think so if you really do this, Fools know that I mean, what's the difference between this and going to war directly, and you think of such a bad idea. ”"So what now, I can't take this breath."
Liu Jintang sighed and lowered his head."
My lord, if you don't slaughter these two guys now, let's just tell Hua Jun, we have killed them, they want to fight, that is, they will do it first, and they will not negotiate peacefully first" Zuo Zongtang shook his head and patted Liu Jintang on the shoulder, "You, it's okay to fight, if you want to do these kung fu, you are really not as good as Yixuan, don't say it's you, I'm not as good as Yixuan, it's useless, tomorrow's newspaper will spread it all over the world, and by then, the Chinese army has not yet attacked, We ourselves were drowned by the spittle of the people in the great northwest first, and the people's hearts, do you know, Huaguo is the best at winning people's hearts, and we can't give up the people's hearts. ”"Then, just let people go" Liu Jintang looked at Zuo Zongtang in disbelief.Zuo Zongtang nodded painfully, "Otherwise, what should I do if the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, let him go" "Alas" Liu Jintang sighed heavily.Prince Alcohol and Dong Fuxiang were finally released, left Xi'an City, and returned to the camp of Yixiao.t1706231537:
