Chapter 456: Famous Teachers and Apprentices

Although he was unable to get direct contact with the Qing army in Jingxing, just because of the sudden retreat of the Qing army in Jingxing when they were about to successfully meet, Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang understood that the Wu army had already arrived and quite a lot of reinforcements, so the Shuanglu army, who was already very capable of fighting in the Qing army, could only retreat quickly.

Friends were forced to retreat. Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang, who were in a very harsh state and environment, had no extra choice. They could only try to avenge their private revenge for the acting commander of the Qing army's Western Front, and quickly led their respective troops to retreat eastward from Jingxing Mountain Area and retreat outside Huolu City to rest.

When they hurriedly retreated from the mountain road, the many soldiers of the Fu Zhang coalition were not happy because they did not have to fight again. On the contrary, they shed tears of pain. Because more than 4,000 Fu Zhang coalition soldiers who entered the mountain road had already fallen into the ice and snow of the Taihang Mountains forever, and countless injured people, a lot of whom were frostbite, and the rest were hungry, cold, tired and trapped, and naturally there was no laughter and joy in the army.

The soldiers of the Fu and Zhang coalition were still in pain and grievances, while the seriously injured Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang were heartbroken, because they lost this battle so frustrated. The enemy was obviously not very strong and their equipment was not very good, but because Yixing's blind command and dispatch, and did not provide timely intelligence support, they forced them to fight under extremely harsh geographical environment after marching for more than 130 miles, which led to their disastrous defeat. What's even more frustrating is that this big slaughter must have been forcibly held by Yixing's agent on them, causing them to be punished by the Qing court.

It was reported by Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang that on the evening of the third day of the first lunar month, they retreated outside Huolu City and had time to set up a camp to rest. Yixing's envoy had already come to fight. The envoy who was dependent on the power of the dogs accused Fu Zhang's Allied Army of ineffective combat, and he asked Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang to give Yixing an explanation. Fu Zhenbang, who was gentle, was so angry that he trembled all over. Zhang Guoliang slapped the messenger's face and roared: "Get back and tell Yixing, what is he, and I am worthy to ask me to explain to him? My organization is Fu Biao, the governor of Shandong, Luo Futai. If you want to explain, ask him to find Luo Futai! Get out!"

The messenger covered his swollen face and slipped away. Fu Zhenbang sighed and said to Zhang Guoliang: "Dianchen, although a slap is relieved, with Yixing's temper, even if you have an irreconcilable hatred with you, in the retribution of the official platform, he will not only push all the responsibility to us, but will also sue you with qigong and throw dirty water on you."

"I'm afraid he can have a ball!" Zhang Guoliang cursed and said, "He is just an acting chief general and has no imperial envoy. I think he can do anything to me? I don't believe it anymore. The official civil service platform can be so confused. Without asking, Wang Mingqipai asked me to slash me with one knife!"

…………

Fu Zhenbang really misunderstood our Yixing Ayititai this time. The envoy ran back to Zhengding City, which was not far away, and cried to Yixing A for being beaten. Although Yixing A was angry and hated Zhang Guoliang's beating dogs and not looking at his owner's face, he really did not immediately write a memorial to Zhang Guoliang's slander.

Admiral Yi did not want to, but did not dare, because when Guan Wen led his army to leave, he repeatedly reminded him not to deploy too much troops in the narrow Jingxing Basin. He could only rely on the mountain road natural danger to set up defenses to make time for Zhili's main force to return to the capital to help the capital at noon on the first day of the first lunar month. On the evening of the second day and during the third day of the lunar month, the Qing army was defeated because Yixing'a forcibly invested too many troops to the Jingxing battlefield. Yixing'a dared to falsely accuse Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang of splashing dirty water, which was purely for him to feel unhappy.

Therefore, Yi Xing'a not only dared not falsely accused and framed him, but even did not dare to report to the official document about the defeat in Jingxing. He could only rack his brains to calculate, "How can we shift the responsibility first? The excuse of transferring Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang to the Jingxing battlefield is easy to deal with. Just fabricate a fake detailed report. However, before the official platform left, he asked me to rely on the mountain road to set up defenses, so I was not allowed to invest too many troops into the Jingxing battlefield?"

"Framed Fu Zhenbang and said that he violated my order and went straight to Jingxing with greed for merit? No, the dogman named Fu was not angry and would definitely be injustice. My order to mobilize troops was also in his hands."

"Exaggerate my detailed skills and say that he found accurate information. Wu Zhe was going to block the mountain road and cut off the contact between Jingxing and me. I was afraid that there would be any mistakes in Jingxing's important areas, so I rushed to send troops to protect the road first? No, this was still a violation of the order of the official platform. Moreover, the situation in Jingxing is better than anyone else. I don't have to worry about being surrounded by Wu Zhe for three or five months."

He racked his brains and couldn't figure out any reasonable excuses to explain to Guan Wen. At the helplessness, Yixing'a couldn't help but hate his beloved general Teng Jiasheng and cursed: "They are all your bad ideas. What kind of force is the striking force and the danger of guarding against Wu thieves taking advantage of the situation and breaking into the hinterland of Zhili, which will make me lose all my solutions. When I have the chance in the future, I will see how I..., huh, wait?"

When he was cursing here, Yi Xing'a, who was extremely smart, suddenly thought of a good idea and said, "Why did I forget such an important thing? At that time, Teng Jiasheng suggested sending troops to guard Changgang. One important purpose was to prevent the Wu thieves from taking Taoist Changgang to the north to Pingshan and directly enter the currently very empty Zhili hinterland?"

With this clear idea, good ideas and wonderful ideas naturally emerged in Yititai's clever mind, which made Yixing'a come up with a seamless reason. As soon as Guan Wen left, he caught a Wu army in Zhengding City. When interrogated, he learned that Wu army had not only used a pigeon to report to the wife of the main force of Zhili to the wife of Wu army, but also did not know which channel he learned that Zeng Guoquan was taking advantage of the situation and directly attacked the capital, and also told the wife of Wu army of Guan Guan.

After passing the most difficult level, I will be able to get all the information. I was worried that the Wu army in Shanxi will be exposed after learning these important information, and bypass Jingxing and directly rushed into the hinterland of Zhili to meet Zeng Guoquan. Yixing Ayititai, who was loyal to the Qing court, was planning for the future. Then I dispatched Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang to rush to Changgang to station, blocking the throat of the Wu army's advance to Lu Hepingshan. Then I didn't expect that Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang marched slowly and missed the opportunity to fight. They were taken down by the Wu army first. Then they were greedy for life and feared death, fearing the enemy's failure in fighting. They were killed by the Wu army and fled, which was a major strategic matter!

After happily writing the Military Information Tang News, Yi Xing'a naturally did not forget to add fuel to the end of the Tang News and sued Zhang Guoliang for a lawsuit, asking Guanwen to seek justice for his innocent envoy.

After sending the fast horse to report the military intelligence pond to chase Guanwen, Yixinga realized that he had some negligence, that is, he forgot how to further repair and block the leak after the defeat in Changgang. Fortunately, there was still time, Yixinga immediately waved his hand and retaliatedly ordered Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang's army to rush to Pingshan overnight, setting up defenses to block the Wu army's mountain road north of Pingshan. At the same time, he ordered General Qingde to lead the last mobile reserve team to block the Huolushan Road and lead the self-registration to command the central command.

…………

Unfortunately, although Yixing's military intelligence report was seamless and it was reasonable to make up for the leak afterwards, the order to dispatch troops was not resolutely implemented and was about to be exhausted. Yixing's even asked Fu Zhang's coalition forces to go north to Pingshan for defense overnight. Not to mention Zhang Guoliang, even Fu Zhenbang, who was like Amitabha, could not bear it anymore and resolutely chose to disobey the order!

When Yixinga received the news that Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang had joined forces to disobey, it was already the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month. It was also the same morning when Jiang Zhongji and Li Hongzhang decided to give up the food route and directly enter the hinterland of Zhili. When he learned that the old and new enemies dared not obey the order of his temporary commander, Yixinga, who had just slept with a beautiful concubine, was of course furious and immediately left Zhengding City, where the Qing army's Western Front Command, and led a team of personal soldiers to fight Ma Chong to hunt the deer to find Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang to settle the score!

He rushed to the vigor of Fu Zhang's coalition camp outside Huolu City. Yixing A originally wanted to rush into the camp and get angry, but when he was about to arrive in front of the camp, Yixing A changed his mind and the territory of Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang in the camp. If he really tore his face apart, he would not get anything good. So Yixing A could only go to the mountain road position first and meet with the reserve team Qingde, which he sent to defend last night, and send people to spread Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang to meet him.

After a lot of time, it was almost noon that Zhang Guoliang, who was gloomy and Fu Zhenbang, who was lying on a stretcher, came to the mountain road position to pay homage to Yititai. Fu Zhenbang, who was seriously injured on his leg, could not salute him. Zhang Guoliang refused to kneel down to Yititai, but just bowed and said, "The last general Zhang Guoliang, who has seen Yititai, is Shandong Fubiao. If he does not kneel down to the admiral of another province, don't blame him for being rude."

"Bold!" Yititai was furious and roared: "The official platform has a constitutional order, so that you, Zhang Guoliang, will be temporarily controlled by the platform. When you see the platform, how can you not kneel down?"

"The official platform is just a command that the general is temporarily controlled by Yititai, and he does not want to kneel down to Yititai." Zhang Guoliang said coldly.

"you……?!"

Yititai's forehead was blooming, but Zhang Guoliang was not afraid at all. He deliberately turned his face aside, too lazy to see Yititai's ugly face. Yititai was even more furious when he saw it and roared: "Okay, kneel down or not, Bentitai won't bother with you for the time being, but Bentitai ordered you to move to Pingshan overnight. Why don't you obey?"

"Then why don't you go to our camp's soldiers?" Zhang Guoliang retorted: "On the night of the first lunar month, we marched 140 miles a day and a night in the snow. On the night of the second lunar month and yesterday, there were two more big battles to fight my brothers. What strength do you have to go north to Pingshan overnight? Do you really treat us as iron?"

"Don't make a quibble! Bentitai doesn't listen to these!" Yititai slapped the table and shouted: "In the past, when Bentitai followed the monks' wars south and north, what was the only one hundred and forty miles? It's normal to march for more than two hundred miles a day!"

"That's because the monk prince brought cavalry?" Zhang Guoliang sneered: "If the cavalry marching was not faster than the infantry, during Dagukou and Baliqiao, weren't you and the monk prince long been caught up by foreign devils?"

"Bold! How dare you insult Bentitai's mentor, Prince Monk?" Yititai was so angry that his eyes turned red. He slapped the table and roared: "The Prince Monk is not only Bentitai's mentor, but also Prince Korbi of the court, and a noble man of the heavenly beings. Do you want to be rude to him?!"

"It doesn't matter. If you like impeachment, just impeach it." Zhang Guoliang sneered: "When the imperial court sent the imperial envoy to investigate me, I happened to ask the imperial envoy to see what kind of good disciples the monk prince has trained. He doesn't need to use the full-strength new force, but he just wants to force us who are almost exhausted to go north to Pingshan overnight. What's the reason?"

"It is precisely because you are tired men, Bentitai has taken special care of you and asked you to go to the easily guarded Pingshan battlefield!" Yititai roared: "Otherwise, if the Wu thief comes to Huolu, how can you stop it?"

"If the Wu thieves really come to Huolu, as long as they can have a soldier and a soldier out of the mountain road, please kill the head of the last general!" Zhang Guoliang replied proudly.

"Please kill the head of the general!" Fu Zhenbang, who was lying on the stretcher, also spoke and said coldly: "But when we head north to Pingshan, the soldiers of the general were really powerless, so they could only guard the captive deer on the spot."

"Bentitai wants you to go north to Pingshan to guard!" Yititai was furious.

"The military strength is exhausted, so I can't obey my orders!" Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang replied in unison.

"Do you know what the outcome of disobeying the military order?" Yititai roared in anger, and simply slapped the table and roared: "Come on, take down Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang for Titai!"

All the people present were from Yititai. Of course, Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang were immediately tied up. During this period, Fu Zhenbang didn't say a word, and Zhang Guoliang struggled and roared, cursing endlessly, "I, you have the ability, kill me now! Otherwise, I will never end up with you in my life! When the official platform comes back, when Luo Futai finds out about this matter, it will see how they will settle the accounts with you!"

He was scolded by Zhang Guoliang, and Yititai also wanted to marching Zhang Guoliang on the spot. Fortunately, Qingde next to him tried to persuade him, so it was not easy for Yititai to give up the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to slaughter Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang. However, even so, Yititai still asked Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang to temporarily detain Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang in Qingde camp, and then selected two generals at will from Qingde's command and asked them to take over the army in the Fu and Zhang coalition camp.

Yititai soon discovered that he had made the biggest mistake in his life. After only half an hour, when Yititai was still eating delayed lunch in Qingde camp, a huge noise and dense gunshot suddenly came from outside the camp. Before Yititai stood up to check the situation, a messenger stumbled into the tent and shouted in a crying voice: "Yitai, General Qing, something is wrong! A mutiny! Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang's army mutiny is coming here. You must hand over Zhang Guoliang and Fu Zhenbang immediately! Otherwise they will kill directly!"

With a bang, Yititai's rice bowl fell to the ground, and the rough food he despised was spread all over the ground. Then Yititai was overjoyed and said to himself: "I can finally kill the two bastards Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang with justification."

He rushed out of the central army's tent and looked east. Sure enough, countless Qing soldiers in ragged clothes had already rushed outside the camp of the Qingde army. While firing fire in the sky, he shouted the slogans of General Fu and General Zhang. Fortunately, our Yititai was also a ruthless character trained on the battlefield with the monks. He ordered without hesitation: "Precaution the camp, fire a round of artillery into the open space outside the camp, warning these scrambles!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The order was conveyed, and the cannons exploded one after another. Fu Zhang's coalition soldiers outside the battalion were warned by the cannons. Sure enough, the momentum was immediately reduced. However, at this moment, an accident occurred. A shell deviated from its correct head and actually directly hit the crowd of Fu Zhang's coalition soldiers, and a wave of blood immediately splashed.

"I've started! Brothers, fight with Yixing, the dog god!"

He mistakenly thought it was Yiti's order to take action, and he didn't know who took the lead and shouted. The soldiers of the Fu Zhang coalition, who had been forced to win a long time ago, roared and shot at the Qing army camp without hesitation. The Qing soldiers who were already on high alert in the Qing army camp immediately fired back. Ping Ping and Ping Ping Pong and Fu Zhang coalition soldiers fought fiercely.

"Who told you to fire the gun at the riots? Who fired that gun? Find it out and behead it and show it to the public!"

When Yititai was furious, there was another rumbling explosion sound from behind. Yititai was even more furious and roared: "How dare you fire a fire? Bentitai has ordered that you can only fire a fire for one round, without long ears?"

"It seems that Ititai is not our cannon!" Qingde next to him replied: "The sound and position are incorrect."

"Whose cannon is that?" Yititai was stunned at first, and then his face immediately began to pale, and he said to himself: "Bentitai won't be so unlucky, right?"

Poor Yititai was so unlucky. It was indeed the sound of the Wu army's grenade launcher explosion. Amid the repeated explosions, the Wu army commando was like a divine weapon descending from the sky. Suddenly, the deep of the mountain road, and rushed towards the defensive position established by the Qing army at the exit of the mountain road. The fortifications had stopped repairing the fortifications on the position, and the soldiers and civilians who were watching the fun were suddenly in chaos and rushed to flee. However, the Wu army soldiers were all steadily and quickly seized the Qing army position that should have been able to effectively prevent the Wu army soldiers from walking out of the mountain road.

Yititai was even more unlucky. Seeing the Wu army suddenly coming, the Qing army Qingde troops who listened to him were panicked, while the Fu Zhang allied troops who did not listen to him took the opportunity to charge and directly entered the Qingde army camp to search and rescue Fu Zhenbang and Zhang Guoliang, who were deeply energetic. The Qing army killed each other and completely chaotic. The Wu army commando took the opportunity to seize key positions at the intersection, protect the Wu army brigade and rushed out of the mountain road and stepped onto the endless North China Plain.

"Fu Zhenbang, Zhang Guoliang, you two barbarians, I have been hurt by you! You are waiting, I must submit a memorial to impeach you, and ask the court to settle the score with you! Please ask my mentor, the monk, to settle the score with you!" Poor Yixing Ayititai was so anxious that he cried out.
