Before the fifth watch, Wei Jun woke up.For the past month or so, he has often been like this, and every time this happens, there is a faint pain in his heart.Four years ago, there was internal strife in Tianjing, and Wei Jun's second brother, Northern King Wei Changhui, was murdered. Wei Jun was terrified in Wuchang City, always feeling that something unexpected was about to happen.Fortunately, he and Yi Wang Shi Dakai were very close. Later, Yi Wang came to Beijing to preside over the government. In front of the king of heaven, he tried his best to praise Wei Jun for his ability to conquer wars. , swore allegiance to the king of heaven, and sent his three-year-old son to Tianjing as a hostage.Only in this way can he gain the trust of the king of heaven, and he will no longer be implicated in his head.Wei Jun finally calmed down.Last year, the king of heaven readjusted the military leadership group and appointed him as the chief general of the left army.Wei Jun is grateful to the King of Heaven for trusting him, and wants to erase the unfortunate past of the Wei family from the bottom of his heart, and strive for his own future with all his strength.But this year, many things have caused Wei Jun to fall into worry again.First, the other four generals of the five armies became kings one after another.The chief general of the Chinese army, Meng De'en, is the most trusted person of the king of heaven. He supports Chao Gang and praises the king in the court, but he can't say anything.Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng had outstanding military exploits and were admired by the whole army. Wei Jun also had no objection to the titles of King Ying and King Zhong.But when Li Shixian participated in the uprising, he was only a child in his teens. His military achievements in these years were mediocre, and he was not qualified to be named the leader of the Youjun Army. Now he is also named a servant king.

And he is always just a "righteousness".In terms of merit, among other things, the meritorious service of going to Wuchang twice alone makes Li Shixian far behind; in terms of seniority, in the third year of Guihao, Wei Jun was granted the title of emperor of the country and was rewarded with a yellow robe, while Li Shixian is just a Ordinary Holy Soldiers.Why is Li Shixian crowned king?Is it because he is Li Xiucheng's cousin; and he cannot be crowned king, is it also because he is Wei Changhui's younger brother?Thinking of this, Wei Jun felt chills all over his body, and felt that the future was gloomy.Recently, news came from Tianjing that Hong Rengan, the younger brother of the Tianwang clan, wanted to hold him accountable for losing Wuchang in the sixth year of Bingchen, and planned to remove him from the position of the left army commander and recall him to Tianjing.Wei Jun thought in his heart that he still has some status in the heart of the king of heaven, relying on his eight thousand soldiers, if he is recalled to Tianjing and leaves his brothers, it will be like a fish out of water and become a vegetable on someone else's chopping board.

The defeat of the Jiangnan camp not only did not bring joy to Wei Jun, but made him more fearful.The war is unfavorable, and the king of heaven wants to use him, but he won't do it for a while; if he wins the battle and has strong strength, he will think of cutting off the dissidents.Didn't the internal strife in Bingchen's six years happen just after breaking through the Jiangnan camp?He was uneasy every day, and he also thought to himself, how could a man see others being treated as knives and himself as fish and meat, and not think about doing anything?But how?Do you want to learn from the current King Yi and run away from Bianjiao, or learn from the pre-Ming King Chuang and escape into Buddhism?He felt bad.It was already dawn, but Wei Jun was still upset.He got up and opened the window.It is the late spring season, and the grass in Chizhou Prefecture on the south bank of the Yangtze River is full of spring.He thought that the spring atmosphere outside the city would definitely be stronger, so he called his nephew Wei Yide, led a few soldiers, carried bows and arrows on their backs, stepped on their horses, and quietly left the city gate.

Sure enough, it is a beautiful spring in the south of the Yangtze River: Qingxi River is rippling, willows and leaves on both sides are dark, peaches and plums are blooming, orioles are singing, purple swallows are flying lightly, the river wind is blowing, the face is not cold, the drizzle is fluttering, and the clothes are wet. .On the spur of the moment, Wei Jun raised his whip, and the horse galloped as if flying, passed through Qingxi Town, crossed Wuxi Bridge, and unknowingly entered the ground of Mount Jiuhua.Seeing the dense green against his face up close, and the lush greenness of the mountain peaks in the distance, Wei Jun's stagnation over the past few days suddenly dissipated, and he started hunting with his nephew with great interest.Wei Jun is very good at archery, and his horse is one in a thousand horses. Almost none of the birds and animals within his range escaped by chance.In the afternoon, the soldiers' horses were full of antelopes, roe and rabbits, and turned around happily.

After galloping for a while, Wei Jun looked back and saw that Jiuhua Mountain was in a haze, and suddenly remembered the famous work of Wang Wei, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, so he recited loudly on his horseback: "The wind is high, the bow is strong, the general hunts Weicheng. The grass is withered, the eagle’s eyes are sick, and the snow is gone. The horse’s hooves are light. I just passed Xinfeng City and suddenly arrived at Xiliuying. Looking back at the place where the eagles were shot, the clouds are flat for thousands of miles.” Wei Jun felt that at this moment, he was the general described by Wang Wei , I can't help sighing: If you have this day's joy in your life, you will not live in this world in vain.

Just when he was proud, a sika deer suddenly appeared in the forest ahead.The deer has smooth fur, dazzling markings, and tall horns on its head, which is very cute. Wei Jun often hunts, and has never seen a deer, let alone such a beautiful plum blossom stag.Wei Jun yelled, patted his horse and rushed forward, Zhang Gong shot.Unfortunately, missed!The deer was startled by this and ran desperately.Wei Jun was not discouraged, he clamped his horse's belly tightly, and caught up like the wind.The distance between the deer and the horse is always two or three hundred steps.Wei Jun couldn't even shoot a few arrows. He was afraid that the sika deer would escape into the woods and chase after him desperately, but the horse couldn't surpass the speed of the deer.Seeing that a jungle really appeared in front of him, Wei Jun became anxious and shot another arrow, but it still missed.When he was disappointed, a dart flew out of the grass and hit the back of the sika deer's neck.The deer struggled with all four hooves, fell under a tree and did not move.Wei Jun saw it and shouted: "Good dart! Good dart!"

At this time, I saw a man in his thirties walking out of the grass, with a blue cloth bag on his back, walking towards Wei Jun with a smile on his face.Wei Jun got off his horse and said loudly to the man, "Brother, you are amazing, you are really a good bodyguard!" The man said politely: "The general praised it, but it was just an accidental hit. The general has so many prey behind him, he is really a good archer!" Wei Jun saw that the man was so humble with great skills, and he respected him very much. He lifted the dead deer with both hands and said, "Brother, take it home. This pair of antlers alone can be sold for a hundred taels of silver."

The man quickly pushed the dead deer away: "What is the general talking about! This deer is obviously the general's prey, how dare the villain take it arbitrarily." Wei Jun admired him even more, and said earnestly: "Brother, you don't look like a rich man with your clothes. Taking this deer home can keep the family fed for several months, but for me, It’s optional, you don’t have to refuse.” The man said: "The villain is alone and has no family. There is no need to exchange the dead deer for silver. If the general refuses to accept it, the general and I will carry the deer back to the city and present it to General Wei together!"

Surprised, Wei Jun asked, "Do you recognize General Wei?" "I don't know." "Then why did you give it to him?" The man smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that General Wei is a famous chess player in the kingdom of heaven. I have only played chess all my life. I came to Chizhou Mansion to play against General Wei. This deer is just a gift. Please lead the way and guide me. Go see General Wei." Wei Jun cheered up and asked, "What's your brother's name, where is his family name?" The man replied: "The villain's name is Mi Fu, from Huguang. He has wandered around the rivers and lakes for many years and made friends with chess."

Wei Jun held Miff's hand with a big smile on his face and said, "Brother, I am Wei Jun. Heavenly Father arranged for us to meet here today." "Are you General Wei? A villain has eyes that don't know Taishan, so I offended you a lot just now." Mi Fu was about to kneel, but Wei Jun stopped him.The two talked and laughed, and entered Chizhou Mansion together. Wei Jun ordered to kill a deer to treat Mi Fu.Between cups and cups, Wei Jun knew that Mi Fu was not only proficient in darts, but also proficient in boxing, swords, knives and sticks, so he liked it very much.After the meal, Mifford deliberately kept Mifford to play Go.Miff took out a box of Go from the blue cloth bag, and Wei Jun was immediately attracted by the silver dragon piercing the clouds and fog on the box.Miff opened the chess box and took out a few pieces.Wei Jun took the chess piece, touched it and weighed it, his eyes shone with amazement.

"Mifu, this chess piece of yours is extraordinary, it is not an ordinary thing!" Wei Jun came from a wealthy family and has extensive experience. Although he can't tell many good things about this chess piece, he knows its value from its color and texture.Mi Fu leaned his face closer and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, this chess box is an imperial possession of the former Ming Palace." "Oh!" Wei Jun picked up a few more chess pieces, rubbed them carefully, and stared at them with wide eyes, "How did it get into your hands?" "General, let Mifu report slowly in the future. I have heard that General is a master of Go in the rebel army. How about playing a few rounds with General tonight?" Wei Jun thought to himself, if he didn't tell me, he might be dissatisfied with my chess skills, so please take a look at my skills tonight! The two stopped talking.Wenping is playing chess, quietly watching and meditating, the surroundings are silent, the only sound is the sonorous sound of the chess pieces knocking on the wooden board.Wei Jun's chess skills made Mi Fu praise him endlessly; and Mi Fu made Wei Jun secretly admire and sigh.After three rounds, Wei Jun won one and lost two.He readily admitted defeat. "Where, where! General Yunzi, who is superb, lost a game today, how can he say 'lose' lightly. If the general is interested, how about playing again tomorrow night?" "The best, the best." Wei Jun said happily, "If you don't dislike it, you can live with me. Few people in Chizhou Prefecture can match your martial arts skills. After a few days of military service, I will promote you as a teacher Handsome, military handsome." It turns out that Mifu is Kangfu.He and Yang Guodong, with a few personal soldiers, quietly came outside Chizhou City under the order of Zeng Guofan, and it has been some days.That day when Wei Jun was out hunting, he followed him and waited for the opportunity to act. It happened that the sika deer helped him. Kang Fu followed Wei Jun into the city, while Yang Guodong still lived outside the city with his own soldiers.The soldiers came in and out in the morning and evening, and communicated with the two of them. Kang Fu lived in Wei Jun's yamen for half a month.During the day, he and Wei Jun talked about the art of war, martial arts, patrolled and defended, and played chess behind closed doors at night.Wei Jun attaches great importance to Kang Fu, and Kang Fu also worships Wei Jun in every possible way, and the two become close friends.Kang Fu has a heart, and often takes advantage of Wei Jun's absence to carefully browse the documents of the Taiping Army.At that time, the management of documents and archives of the Taiping Army was not strict, and the generals who led troops outside were even more lax.Kang Fu took advantage of this loophole.Soon, Kang Fu had a clear understanding of all these situations.Outside the city of Chizhou, Yang Guodong cooperated closely and once again displayed his unreal stunt. In the middle of the night, a capable courier with the words "two Sima" embroidered on his chest knocked on the east gate of Chizhou Mansion, and went straight to the Lord General's Yamen, looking like he was traveling thousands of miles away.This person handed over a letter printed with Yun Duo and Pegasus to the soldiers of the Lord General's Yamen.This kind of letter with clouds and flying horses is called Yunma Document in the Taiping Army, and it is an urgent and important document.After each post station receives this kind of document, no matter day or night, wind or rain, it must be stamped and sent to the next station immediately.Seeing that the letter was stamped with the seals of more than 20 post stations along the way, the personal soldiers verified each of them to be correct, and then issued a reply slip.The two Sima took the reply slip, turned their horses and left without leaving a word. The soldiers sent Yunma documents to Wei Jun's bedroom.The bedroom is brightly lit, and Wei Jun is playing chess with Kang Fu intently.He left the chessboard, put the paperwork beside the candle, slowly melted away the plastic seal, and took out a piece of paper from it.After a while, Wei Jun's face changed color, and he stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.Kang Fu saw all this, walked over gently, and asked with concern: "It's so late at night, where did you get the letter from?" "He's from Tianjing." Wei Jun turned around with a gloomy expression. "Is there an urgent military situation?" Kang Fu asked tentatively. "You want me to return to Beijing quickly." Wei Jun's voice was uncomfortable. "The general has been away for a long time, so it's good to go back to Beijing for a few days." "Brother, how did you know that when you return to Beijing this time, you will be imprisoned and you will never be able to get out again." Wei Jun's face became even more depressed. "What's going on?" Kang Fu was shocked. "Brother, you are not an outsider. Take a look, but don't spread it." Kang Fu took the Yunma document and read on it: "Follow the heavenly king's order, and return to the capital immediately with Wei Jun, the leader of the left army. Debriefing, without delay." A rectangular cloud-dragon border imprint is placed on the lower seal: Imperially ordered Wen Hengzheng, President of the founding of the country, a loyal military adviser to support the court and Wang Hongrengan.There is a big three-inch-square seal on the bottom: the purpose is accurate. After Kang Fu read it, he put the Yunma documents on the table.Both of them have no intention of playing chess anymore.Kang Fu asked: "General Wei, there is no imprisonment in the document, why are you so anxious?" "Brother, you don't know the details of this." Wei Jun sighed, "In November of the sixth year of Bingchen, after I was trapped in the isolated city of Wuchang for more than four months, I was forced to quit because of the lack of food and aid. Three years later. There are too many, I have always heard that the king of heaven is going to investigate the responsibility, and I suspect that I deliberately gave up Wuchang because my brother was punished, and I want to go back to Beijing to report the course of the war to the king of heaven." "There is such a thing!" Kang Fu said in surprise, "The villain is in the rivers and lakes, and he heard everywhere that the generals are unparalleled. The kingdom of heaven has conquered Wuchang, and the commander was the general twice. In terms of merit, the generals of the kingdom of heaven are hard to beat. I can find a few; besides, after three years, why mention it! Why does the king want to feel sorry for the general?" "Actually, it wasn't the king's idea. It was entirely Tianwang's eldest brother, Xinwang, and his second brother, Yongwang, who deliberately framed him. There are only Yide and I left in the Wei family. Yide is young and doesn't care. You must kill me and then hurry up." Wei Jun sat on the opposite side of the chessboard, worried. "General, it's not a villain who talks too much. The person who framed the general is called Xinwang Yongwang, but he is actually the king of heaven. The king of heaven is too unfair to the general's family." Kang Fu stood up full of righteous indignation, "the villain heard people say that the north Back then, Wang and Tianwang became brothers with different surnames. They destroyed their family and rebelled. More than a hundred members of the whole family joined the rebel army. They fought from Jintian to Tianjing. At that time, the Northern King was supervising the division in Jiangxi, and the Heavenly King ordered the Northern King, Yiwang, and Yan King to return to Jingqin King. The Northern King killed the Eastern King, and he acted according to the order, which was justified. Who knows that the matter became serious, but the Heavenly King blamed the Northern King. King Yan, killing the two kings to quell the civil strife is already a great wickedness. After that, he set the Dongsheng Festival and named the young Dongwang, and sent the dead soul of the Northern King to hell, making the hearts of hundreds of thousands of old brothers from Liangguang and Guangxi cold in the kingdom of heaven. So. Heavenly King, isn't it selfish and cruel?" Kang Fu's words touched Wei Jun's heart.Tears welled up in his eyes, and he was very moved. He motioned Kang Fu to sit down with his hands, and kept his voice down.Kang Fu sat down and continued in a low voice: "Now, he thinks that the Qing Yao Jiangnan camp has been defeated and the world is stable, and he is going to plot against the general again. Is there such a reason in the world? General, in the eyes of villains, this king of heaven He is no longer the preacher during the Jintian Uprising. He took great pains to seek personal gain for the Hong family, regardless of the interests of the hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters who risked their lives to revolt against him. General, don’t you understand?” Wei Jun looked at Kang Fu in silence, what he had thought in his heart for many years, was said out of Kang Fu's mouth today, and he felt very relieved. "No one in the Kingdom of Heaven knows that Wang's eldest brother and second brother are mediocre and greedy. King Yi was rejected by these two villains. But the King of Heaven wants to make them kings. Recently, the king of Xie and the king of Dui are Hong The surname is Zidi. Hong Rengan came to Beijing for only one month, and the Heavenly King, in spite of the civil and military objections of the court, appointed him as a military adviser, a king, and a prime minister. Is it more than ten thousand people? It’s not based on a word. I was in Tianjing, and I heard people say that during the eight years since the Heavenly King entered the Little Paradise, he only visited the East Palace once. Le, regardless of government affairs. Is the general worthy of allegiance to such a faint king?" "Brother, you don't know. During the uprising, all of us in the Wei family swore that we would never betray the teachings and the king of heaven. We must not break our oath!" There is a fierce struggle going on. "Hahaha!" Kang Fu laughed wantonly, and Wei Jun quickly covered his mouth with his hand. "The general is too loyal. Your Wei family swore not to betray the king of heaven, but the king of heaven betrayed the family of Wei. In the past few years, he has never really trusted the general. The appointment of the general as the leader of the left army the year before last was a last resort. Now a little Once stabilized, the true face will be revealed. Have you ever thought about it, the general? The chief generals of the five armies and the other four have all been crowned kings, except for the general. After being ridiculed like this, what prestige does the general have to command the soldiers? What face does he have to treat Wei's father and brothers ?” This sentence deeply hurt Wei Jun's heartache.His heart was bleeding, and his limbs were twitching. It took him a long time to wake up from the extreme grief. "Brother, you are such a bloody and knowledgeable man, what do you think I should do with this order from King Qian?" "Ignore it!" Kang Fu replied without thinking. "The military law of the kingdom of heaven: those who disobey the order will be beheaded." Wei Jun shook his head. "Xue Yi Wang, set a different style!" Kang Fu quickly pointed out the second way out. "The number of people is too small, it's hard to be successful." Wei Jun shook his head again. "Otherwise, change the family and join the imperial court." Kang Fu thought for a while and said. "Brother, how do you say such a thing?" Wei Jun stared at Kang Fu with his eyes widened in horror. Kang Fu smiled softly: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. Is it impossible to just wait for death and be an unjust ghost who will never look down? I think there is only one way: abandon the dark and turn to the bright!" "You!?" Kang Fu's words of "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright" aroused Wei Jun's suspicion, he stood up fiercely, looked Kang Fu up and down carefully like a stranger, and asked sharply, "Are you a spy sent by Zeng Guofan? " "General, you are right." Kang Fu said frankly, "My name is not Mifford, I am Kang Fu, an officer of the military camp under Master Zeng Guofan, and I am here to point out the bright road for the general." Wei Jun paled in shock, he pulled out his sword from the wall, pointed at Kang Fu and yelled angrily: "Boldly clear the monster, you actually came into my yamen, I will cut you off!" Kang Fu said calmly: "General Wei, will you save your life if you cut me off? In my opinion, not only can it not save you, but it will aggravate your crime." Wei Jun's hands softened, and he slumped down on the chair. "General Wei." Kang Fu changed into a calm tone, and said earnestly, "Please calm down, ignore my identity for now, just think about it calmly, is what I just said right?" Wei Jun remained silent.Kang Fu continued: "General Wei, didn't you ask me the other day how the game of Go got into my hands? Let me tell you today! I am an ordinary person, how can I get something that was used by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This set of Go It belonged to Mr. Zeng, and the current emperor personally rewarded him. He has long admired the chess skills of generals, and specially asked me to give you this set of chess pieces, so that I can make chess friends with you." "Is there such a thing?" Wei Jun was very surprised. "Master Zeng is thirsty for talents, and cherishes talents like life. The general is not only highly valued by Master Zeng for his chess skills, but also for the great talent that Master Zeng admires for leading troops to fight." "I killed his No. 1 general, doesn't he hate me?" "Where is it! Master Zeng saw the general's extraordinary talent from this. He specially asked me to pay tribute to the general. If the general offered Chizhou Prefecture to the imperial court, Master Zeng will invite the emperor and give the general the rank of commander-in-chief." "I'm afraid it's impossible. My army killed more than a thousand Xiangyong. Can Zeng Guofan not hold grudges?" "Master Zeng thinks about the overall situation of the country, and he never cares about personal grievances. If you don't believe me, please read this, General." Kang Fu said, and took out a pair of words from the blue cloth bag, "Master Zeng gave this to the general." Wei Jun unfolded.This is a banner with the title "General Wei Jun Liangzheng" on the top and "Disheng Zeng Guofan" on the bottom.There is a bright red seal next to it, with two clear white words: Di Sheng.In the middle is a poem of seven laws: The holy lord Zhongxing prospered during the Zhou Dynasty, and Lian Pian Fang called and merged with the princes. God's majesty wants to take down the thunder, and the great cause often flows with the river. The ancestor of the Han Dynasty once heard about Han Xinyong, and the Emperor Tang also bestowed on Yuchiqiu. A new construction of Lingyantai Pavilion, Qizi and Gunan was collected in one case. The handwriting is strong and rigorous. Wei Jun has seen Zeng Guofan's handwriting before, so he knows it is not forged. He rolled up the banner and didn't say a word for a long time.Kang Fu waited patiently at the side, slowly put away the chess pieces, put them into a red sandalwood box, and handed them to Wei Jun with both hands, saying: "General, don't worry, let's think about it in the long run. Please put away this box of chess and characters. Master Zeng wants My compliments, he is willing to make chess and poetry friends with the general. I am leaving." After Kang Fu finished speaking, he walked towards the door. "Wait!" Wei Jun called out, "Kang Yingguan, this is a matter of life and death, and there must be no slack. Make up your mind!" "The general wants to see Mr. Zeng?" Kang Fu said excitedly, "That's easy, I'll go with the general!" "No!" Wei Jun waved his hand, "Let Yide go with you!" "That's good! But," Kang Fu said, "Yide is the general's nephew, and the general may not be at ease about his safety. How about this, I will stay with the general as a hostage, and I will arrange someone to accompany the young general. how?" "That's wronged you!" Wei Jun was obviously moved by Kang Fu's sincerity. The next day, Yang Guodong accompanied Wei Yide and left Chizhou Mansion.Chizhou Mansion is less than three hundred miles away from Qimen, a day's journey on horseback.On the third day, Yang Guodong happily returned to Chizhou with Wei Yide.Yide told his uncle how Zeng Guofan admired him wholeheartedly, how he treated each other with sincerity, and promised that Wei Jun's 8,000 soldiers would still be under his command and would not be withdrawn or replaced. This reassured Wei Jun the most.Yide brought two gifts from Zeng Guofan: six taels of Changbai Mountain ginseng to Wei Jun, and a catty of Dongting lotus root powder to Yide, both of which were imperial rewards.Wei Jun was greatly moved. A few days later, Wei Jun, accompanied by Kang Fu and Yang Guodong, came to Qimen with his nephew and several trusted generals to pay a visit to Zeng Guofan.Zeng Guofan happily accepted it.It has been eight years of fighting with the Taiping Army, and many of their details are unclear. Wei Jun is the first senior general to surrender, and he is very good at fighting. After asking some things about the internal strife and the current Tianjing regime, Zeng Guofan focused on inquiring about the tactics of the Taiping Army. "General Wei, I heard that you are very good at defending the city." Zeng Guofan said with a smile, like a generous and kind elder. "My lord," Wei Jun replied with a bow, "we have a saying in defending the city, which is called guarding the danger but not defending it. That is to say, the elite personnel do not gather in the city, but defend the fortress outside the city. For example, when defending Wuchang, they would be in the garden, Build a fort at Hamaji; to guard Anqing, build a fort at Jixian Pass." Zeng Guofan was startled, it seems that the key to Anqing lies in Jixian Pass.That's a really crucial sentence. "What is your usual formation?" Zeng Guofan asked again. "There are four commonly used formations." In order to win Zeng Guofan's favor, Wei Jun talked in detail incessantly, "The first is the line formation. When marching, the team marches in a line. When there is an enemy, the head and tail bend and hook together, and instantly Gather together and rescue each other. The second is the Crab Formation. Three teams are lined up, the squadron has fewer people, and the two wings have more people. Hundreds of squads, scattered like scattered stars, make the enemy suspicious, and then attack suddenly, often can win. The fourth is to lay down on the ground. When the enemy is chasing to the end of the mountain, suddenly one flag is lowered, and thousands of flags are lowered, and the whole army is instantly They all lay flat on the ground, silent; then one flag was raised, and thousands of flags stood together, and the whole army climbed up from the ground, directed by the flag, rushed like the wind and tide, and counterattacked the enemy, turning defeat into victory." Zeng Guofan was secretly surprised: It turns out that growing hair is not easy. In the past, he was always regarded as a mob. No wonder he was often defeated.The Hundred Birds Array and Yanqi Array are not found in the predecessors' military books. They are really remarkable creations.Zeng Guofan didn't change anything on the surface, and continued to ask: "Is there any other way?" Wei Jun tried his best to think, thought for a while, and said: "In the past, we used to use the tactics of advancing and retreating. Whenever we want to evacuate a place, we must go out to the army day after day, fight non-stop, advance dozens of miles, approach The enemy's camp will go down to the stronghold, so that the enemy will not be suspicious. When the arrangement is complete, they will suddenly retreat overnight safely. When retreating, they must set up straw figures or wooden stakes on the city wall, and put bamboo hats on them; Light up." Zeng Guofan remembered that Shi Dakai used this tactic when he evacuated Nanchang overnight, and said in his heart: "These long hairs must not be taken lightly." After talking about these major events, Wei Jun talked to Zeng Guofan about the cumbersome titles within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, such as the Heavenly King's title, the Eastern King's title, the Wing King's commandment, the British King's Jinyue, and the Qianwang's title. For example, the eldest daughter of the king is called Tianchangjin, the second daughter is called Tianerjin, the prime minister's son is called Chenggongzi, the prime minister's daughter to the military commander is called Yu, and the teacher's handsome daughter to the two Sima women are called Xue and so on.Zeng Guofan and everyone laughed when they heard this. At this time, Chen Yucheng was leading 50,000 troops to rescue Anqing, and Zeng Guoquan asked Qimen for help. Zeng Guofan ordered Wei Jun to lead his troops across the river to aid Anqing, and sent Xiangyong to Chizhou. After Wei Jun left Qimen, Zeng Guofan asked Peng Shouyi to sort out what Wei Jun said, titled "Long Hair Tactics", copied more than ten copies, and distributed them to the main generals of Xiangyong.They also sent someone to send the map of the Anhui branch presented by Li Hongzhang to Zeng Guoquan, and attached a secret letter: The descendant Wei Jun is hereby sent to help with his troops.These thieves and bandits surrendered to me only after they had no choice but to force them. Their nature is capricious and they cannot be reused in the end.However, differentiation and disintegration have been a good strategy for victory since ancient times, and Wangdi is good at using it; and this generation has been among thieves for a long time, and he knows how to deal with thieves. Using it to control thieves can be described as fighting poison with poison. Wei Jun's department should be placed at the front to fight the reinforcements of the four-eyed dog, so that they can be annihilated.According to Wei Jun's confession, the Anqing thieves are elite in Jixian Pass, so pay close attention.
