Zeng Guofan-Blood Sacrifice 唐浩明 2263Words 2018-03-14
On the evening of the 22nd, when Can'er took the poison from Kang Fu, her hands were shaking and her whole body was weak. As soon as she returned to the house, she collapsed on the chair and couldn't get up for a long time.Kang Fu's instructions kept circling in his mind: "Tonight, before Shi Xiangzhen goes to bed, put the poison in the tea bowl, and persuade him to drink this bowl of tea no matter what. The poison will take half an hour to take effect. Take this opportunity to escape. Get out of the headquarters and hide in Liu's house." Shi Xiangzhen will be back soon, and Can'er hasn't made up his mind yet.She is not only a rebellious long-haired leader, but also an upright man, for him, she fears and loves him at the same time.Leaving him quietly when the city of Wuchang was broken, Can'er gritted her teeth and could do it, but how could she do it if she had to poison him with her own hands?Hearing Shi Xiangzhen's footsteps entering the house, Can'er stomped his feet and put the poison into the teapot with all his heart.At this moment, Shi Xiangzhen opened the door and came in.

Shi Xiangzhen was very happy tonight.When he saw Can'er, whose face was flushed from overstress, he felt that she was more beautiful than before.He touched Can'er's face, it was hot, and he touched his forehead, it was even hotter.Shi Xiangzhen asked in surprise: "You are sick." Can'er subconsciously shook her head. "Your face and forehead are very hot." Can'er quickened his wits: "I took a sip of wine just now." Shi Xiangzhen looked at her affectionately: "Can'er, you are so beautiful. I have wronged you these days, and I haven't said a few words to you properly. You are a lovable woman."

Can'er wondered, why are you talking so much tonight?She said timidly, "General, you are very happy today." Shi Xiangzhen smiled and said: "You are right, Can'er. My younger brother Yi Wang will lead 50,000 reinforcements to Wuchang the day after tomorrow. We will attack from inside and outside, and we will capture Zeng Guofan alive immediately. At that time, we will start the battle at Yuemachang. At the public trial, put Qinglin and Zeng Guofan on the stage, let the common people complain about their grievances and redress their grievances, and your sister-in-law's tea house can resume business."

"Really?!" Can'er looked surprised. "Really. Can'er, after defeating the troops from Hunan and killing Zeng Guofan, I will personally report to the Heavenly King, and ask the Heavenly King to fulfill the promise he made to all brothers and sisters when he left Wuchang last time. " "What promise did the Heavenly King make at that time?" Can'er asked. "The Heavenly King said at the time that after entering the Little Paradise, married couples will be reunited, and those who have not married will marry men and women." "Then why didn't you do it later?"

"I don't know what the king of heaven thinks, no wonder the brothers have complaints. I want to face the king of heaven for you, for me, and for all the brothers and sisters in the kingdom of heaven. Can'er," Xiangzhen touched Can'er's hand and said, " At that time, I want you to take off the man's clothes and put on the most beautiful phoenix crown and Xiapei, and I will worship heaven, earth, father and brother with you, and we will be a loving couple for a lifetime, and we will grow old forever." Shi Xiangzhen's words poured into Can'er's heart like a pot of honey, and she felt a kind of great happiness that she had never had before. If she could really grow old with the hero in front of her, it would not be in vain. .But he is a rebellious traitor, can their rebellion be successful?

"General, others say that you can't achieve great things, and you will be executed everywhere in the future." Shi Xiangzhen laughed: "Who did you listen to? Our Heavenly King has ascended the throne in Tianjing, and our land and water army has millions. Half of China already belongs to our Kingdom of Heaven. The Northern Expeditionary Army will soon attack Beijing and capture them alive Xianfeng Yaotou, Qing Yao is about to perish completely. Can'er, you just wait to become a first-class wife!" Can'er was overjoyed by Shi Xiangzhen's words, and she also felt that in front of such a hero, there should be no opponent.Shi Xiangzhen said again: "Can'er, last year I accepted a group of brothers in Tianmen."

"The general has been to Tianmen?" Can'er immediately thought of his mother and brother when he heard the hometown he missed day and night. "Last year, I stationed troops in Tianmen for a month. I killed the dog officer in Tianmen and opened a warehouse to release grain. On that day, a middle-aged woman came to me with a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old and said to me:' Boss, you are really good people. Without you, our mother and I would have starved to death long ago. My son is going to join the army. Boss, you accept him! I am relieved to follow you.' The woman turned her face to her son and said:' Little Sanzi, if you have the opportunity to go to Wuchang in the future, you must inquire about your sister's whereabouts. If you don't see your sister, I will die with regret!'"

Can'er was startled suddenly, isn't his elder brother's nickname just Xiaosanzi?She hurriedly asked: "General, what's the name of the third son?" "Call Wang Jinlai. I ran into him today and asked him if he found his sister. He shook his head." Can'er fully understood.Both her mother and elder brother are still alive, and she is grateful for the great kindness of the Taiping Army.Now, my elder brother has joined the Taiping Army, but he wants to murder his benefactors and relatives for the government.Can'er seemed to be waking up from a big dream, and she secretly rejoiced that she hadn't made a big mistake yet, and there was still time to fix everything.Shi Xiangzhen walked to the teapot and poured out a bowl of tea. Can'er exclaimed, "General!" At this moment, the door opened, and Peng Yulin, Kang Fu, and Bao Chao came in.Shi Xiangzhen asked with a smile: "Three strong men, why are you visiting late at night?"

After finishing speaking, he raised the tea bowl to drink, but Can'er rushed over and shouted, "There is poison in the bowl!" At the same time, he pulled out a hand and knocked the teacup to the ground.Shi Xiangzhen was confused by the scene in front of him.Can'er pointed to Peng Yulin and the others and said to Shi Xiangzhen, "They are from the government." Upon hearing this, Shi Xiangzhen drew out his knife abruptly.Bao Chao was so angry that he scolded Can'er: "You bitch! I killed you." As he said, a knife was coming to Can'er's head, and Shi Xiangzhen stopped him with the knife.At this moment, Brother Guoxian rushed in upon hearing the news, recognized Kang Fu at a glance, gritted his teeth in hatred, and cursed: "You lowly slave, I will chop you into pieces today!"

The headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army immediately turned into a bloody battlefield.The Taiping army came forward layer by layer, surrounded Peng Yulin, Bao Chao, and Kang Fu, and the three of them did not show any weakness, and fought with their swords. Although there were many Taiping troops, they couldn't get close for a while.Bao Chao swung his broadsword with great vigor, and single-handedly dealt with twenty or thirty men without fear.When the killing was on the rise, he suddenly roared, grabbed the desk beside him, and beat into the crowd. Several Taiping soldiers were smashed to death. .Peng Yulin saw that there were more and more people inside and outside the house, and knew that if he fought for a long time, he would suffer a loss. While fighting, he said to Kang Fu and Bao Chao: "Don't fight recklessly, prepare to rush out of the window!"

At this moment, earth-shattering gunshots rang out one after another, Shi Xiangzhen, Zhou Guoxian and others were taken aback for a moment, Peng Yulin and others took advantage of this moment to jump on the window and rush out of the house.As soon as the three of them landed on the ground, Kang Lu came out from the side with a dozen soldiers.Kang Fu said to Peng Yulin: "You guys go, I'm here to cut off the queen!" Peng Yulin thought of the big task of leading the three hundred Xiangyongs to break through the city gate, so he said to Kang Fu, "Bao Chao and I will go first, and you can resist for a while before leaving and rush to Wenchang Gate." Kang Fu nodded, tightened his belt, roared, swung his knife and rushed over, and was about to slash, when he saw Kang Lu, he was shocked. At the same time, Kang Lu also found that the man in the government in front of him was his brother , is also a big surprise.Kang Fu couldn't bear his younger brother's death under Xiangyong's hands, and he didn't want his brothers to meet each other and kill each other. He said loudly to his younger brother, "Brother, Wuchang City is about to be destroyed. Get out quickly, get out!" Come on, the knife faltered, jumped onto the roof, and ran away stepping on the tiles.
