Chapter 185 That’s meat cutting!
Zuo Zongtang left, boarded a small boat, left Juzizhou Head, and headed for Changsha City.
Luo Yaoguo was still in Orange Zongtang, looking at Zuo Zongtang's retreating back in the distance, his brows gradually furrowed. "Your Highness."
Su Sanniang's lowered and exceptionally soft voice sounded in Luo Yaoguo's ears: "Zuo Jigao... is he an enemy or a friend?" "An enemy!" Luo Yaoguo looked regretful.
Today's talks were very short because both sides were very candid and revealed their trump cards right from the start, and there was no room for concessions. So... for a long time to come, the two sides can only be enemies.
"Then why not get rid of him?" Su Sanniang whispered, "Maybe it's still too late now!"
Luo Yaoguo shook his head, lifted up his robe, pulled out a loaded flintlock pistol from under his robe, handed it to Su Sanniang, and said, "I told him just now, if you succeed, sir, don't be a slave." , want to be the master of the world!
He replied without hesitation: "Man, that's what you should do!"
That’s why I won’t kill him! As long as he hesitated a little, he would be dead now!”
"Why?" Su Sanniang was confused and had no idea what Luo Yaoguo was thinking. She just took the pistol and put it away carefully.
"Because there is not necessarily only one way to save the world... if someone doesn't take it, it doesn't mean that Zuo Jigao can't take it! After all, times are still different, and Mr. Ji Gao's abilities are also greater.
If Zuo Jigao can't make it, he will still have to take that road in the future, and there is still time! But as long as Zuo Jigao is willing to be the master of the world at the right time, it will be much better than before after all!"
"Oh..." Su Sanniang still didn't understand.
But it doesn't matter, she knows that what His Highness the Angel said is right!
Luo Yaoguo paused, clasped his hands, and walked at the head of Orange Island. He said with some melancholy: "In addition, my talents are limited and my strength is limited. Although I have been guided, the road is very difficult and I may not be able to do it." Get through!
If I am lucky enough to get through, it is impossible for Zuo Jigao to win against me.
If he can win, the problem must not be him, but that my ability is really unable to bear the mission given by God. Then let him be the master of the world!" Su Sanniang said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Angel will definitely succeed! Zuo If Ji Gao becomes your enemy, he will surely perish!"
"Destruction will not mean..." Luo Yaoguo shook his head and said with a smile, "The world is big today, you can still run away if you really want to."
He looked back and found that Su Sanniang and Wang Xi'er were the only ones around him, so he smiled and said: "What I said to Zuo Jigao today, what I said to Sanniang, must not be let to others again!"
"yes!"
The two women bowed together...
When Luo Yaoguo left Orange Island and returned to the camp at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, Tang Zhengcai, the third disciple of Master Zhu Jiu, had been waiting for a while in Luo Yaoguo's central army, a manor located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain.
Tang Zhengcai's fleet has been staying in Zhuzhou recently. Because of the pontoon bridge in the north of Xiangtan, it did not immediately go north to follow Archangel Luo. However, it did not take too long, just one day late, and Tang Zhengcai's fleet arrived near Orange Island. He himself went ashore to change horses, hurriedly came to Luo Yaoguo's Chinese army, and brought Luo Yaoguo a letter from Xiao Chaogui.
"Uncle Master, this is an urgent message sent to you by the King of the West!"
After Tang Zhengcai gave Luo Yaoguo a Hongmen junior salute, he took out an envelope and handed it to Luo Yaoguo with both hands. Xiao Chaogui's letter was ghostwritten by Zeng Shuiyuan, and the content was quite explosive!
It mainly tells that Hong Xiuquan suddenly "awakened" the "military talent" of the Son of God after being ambushed by Seng Gelinqin on the Xiangjiang River near Hengshan County. He personally led his troops to the beach and stood on the bow of a stranded ship to direct the entire army to attack. Senggelinqin defeated the Mongolian prince. Then he personally led more than ten thousand elites as the vanguard, chasing Senggelinqin all the way, and finally caught up with Senggelinqin who had joined forces with Sai Shang'a near Shanmen City.
Later, Hong Xiuquan took command of the battle in a large sedan carried by 64 people. He personally led everyone to worship God and ask for blessings. He also led the charge in the large sedan. During this period, he once again repelled the Eight Banners organized by Seng Gelinqin. The cavalry charges!
Seeing that there was no hope of victory, Seng Gelinqin actually led his Eight Banners soldiers and Jiang Zhongyuan's Chu Yong to flee first! He Chun also left behind his Green Camp soldiers and fled with Seng Gelinqin with only a few personal soldiers. Sai Shang'a, Qin Dingsan and others and thousands of green camp soldiers were all abandoned, and finally the entire army was wiped out! The commander-in-chief Qin Dingsan was beheaded, and the imperial envoy Saishang'a was captured alive!
In addition, Xiao Chaogui also analyzed the whereabouts of Seng Gelinqin and others at the end of the letter - they probably went to Zeng Guofan's hometown of Xiangxiang, and there were already less than three thousand Eight Banners soldiers and regiment training with them!
King Hong Tian was not very interested in chasing down this group of remnant enemies, so he ordered Xiao Chaogui to send Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang to chase them casually, while the main force of the Kingdom of Heaven came to Changsha City together!
"This King Hong Tian actually..." Luo Yaoguo muttered for a while, and then said to Tang Zhengcai: "Lao San, my soldiers will board the ship today and take the waterway to attack Baling County in Yuezhou tomorrow. Is it okay?"
"No problem!" Tang Zhengcai said with a smile, "The Baling side was blocked by Qingyao. Thousands of canoes were blocked, and tens of thousands of boatmen lost their way of life. They are waiting for the army of the Kingdom of Heaven!"
Luo Yaoguo nodded, he had known about this for a long time!
So Xu Yuegui, Jiao Hong, Bo Yong, and Zhang San have already led their teams to Yuezhou to mobilize the shipbuilders!
The number of Qing troops in Yuezhou is not large, and they are from Hubei. They are expected to be taken back to Wuchang Mansion by Cheng Cai and Shuangfu. The battle in Yuezhou... is just to go there by boat and take over the territory.
Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo said to Su Sanniang: "Sanniang, our good deeds have been delayed for a long time. It seems that we have to wait until we capture Yuezhou... When the King of Heaven and the King of East arrive, we will Let’s have a nice show, and after we finish doing good things, we can go to Wuchang together!”
Su Sanniang's cheeks were slightly red and she hummed slightly.
"Ji Gao, what did he say to you?"
"Did he say when he would attack Changsha?" Changsha City, outside the Chaozong Gate.
Luo Bingzhang and Luo Raodian finally waited for his backbone Zuo Zongtang. The two old men went up and took Zuo Zongtang's left and right hands and asked about Luo Yaoguo's words. "He said: Don't be a slave, be the master of the world." !" Zuo Zongtang answered truthfully, with a tone that seemed a little emotional.
"Don't be a slave? Be the master..." Luo Bingzhang looked at Zuo Zongtang in horror. "Ji Gao, what do you think?" Luo Raodian asked.
Zuo Zongtang smiled: "It's too difficult to be a slave, and no one accepts me as a slave! So I'd better be the master!"
Luo Bingzhang and Luo Raodian remembered at this time that Zuo Zongtang's candidate for prefect has not been approved yet, and he is still a commoner! "Then, what should I do?" Luo Bingzhang asked, "I have been kneeling for a long time and can't stand. Get up..."
Luo Raodian also sighed: "After all, I have been favored for a long time!"
"Confucian old man, Su Weng, you can't kneel now, stand and proclaim yourself!" Zuo Zongtang said with a smile, "I have ten camps of Gaozi, Luoshan has five camps of Shanzi, Bowen has five camps of Wen... There are a total of twenty battalions for regiment training, and Ru Weng still has two battalions for Fubiao, as well as defense camps in Xiangyin and Yiyang. There are a total of twenty-four battalions for training, with about 15,000 troops. It is still impossible to retain one governor and one To help with military affairs, there is a prefect of Changsha, a prefect of Chenzhou, a prefect of Yongshun, and a prefect of Yuanzhou? If the emperor still wants to be dignified, he will grant us the title!
But these are all small things. The real big thing is how to let them survive... If they can't survive, we can't survive! Why is Hunan like this? It's because someone really showed them the way to survive and was willing to lead them live!"
Who are they? Raccoon Bingzhang asked.
Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly: "Who else could it be? It's the millions of poor people who are suffering and can't survive!" "How can they survive?" Luo Raodian asked.
Zuo Zongtang's face darkened, and he said quietly: "Either... they kill us, then divide our land, and cancel the debts we lent. Or... they reduce rent and interest, and we can only eat less One bite.
