Fengyang Prefecture, at the foot of Bagong Mountain.

Li Weiguo took Chen Ziyan and Su Sanniang farewell.

At this time, three months have passed since the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition. Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing's first and last batch of supplies to the Northern Expedition Army have been sent to Fengyang.

Li Weiguo knew that Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing would no longer provide supplies to the Northern Expedition Army. Soon, the Qing army in Jiangbei would suppress the Northern Expedition Army from all sides. The Northern Expedition Army fought alone and was doomed to fail.

"Sister, you really don't consider coming to be my secretary?" Li Weiguo persuaded again unwillingly.

Su Sanniang smiled and said, "Okay, don't be slander!"

She paused and continued, "We are about to set off. This fierce battle will probably not be peaceful in Jiangbei. Hurry up and take your sister Zi Yan back to your Shanghai, so that you can be forced to fight with us by the court!"

Li Weiguodao: "It is because of the fierce battles that I want my elder sister to follow me and enjoy the peace in Jiangdong!"

Su Sanniang shook her head and said, "When the war comes, life is full of disaster, how can there be a place of peace?"

Li Weiguo also sighed: "It is not my wish for the Chinese people to kill each other! Unfortunately, my strength is not enough to stop this war!"

"As long as you come and help us, overthrow the Qing court as soon as possible and end this war, there will be peace everywhere!" Su Sanniang suddenly blinked at Li Weiguo and smiled playfully, "In that way, I can consider being your secretary!"

"You actually want to instigate me?" Li Weiguo smiled bitterly. He was very happy that Su Sanniang gave him a secretary, just to let him join the Taiping Army. That decision was impossible, at least now is not the time.

"Forget it if you don't want to!" Su Sanniang knew that Li Weiguo could not surrender to the Taiping Army, so she just mentioned it.

Li Weiguo knew that no one could persuade the other party, so he gave Chen Ziyan a look.

Chen Ziyan understood and nodded, so she brought two bowls of wine and handed them to Su Sanniang and Li Weiguo respectively.

Li Weiguodao: "Since my elder sister insists on returning to the Northern Expedition Army, I don't know when we will meet again in the future. How about doing this glass of wine for you?"

"Okay!" Su Sanniang also knew that the Northern Expedition was full of dangers, and whether she could come back alive was unknown. Today's farewell may be a farewell forever. So she happily dried up the wine in her hand.

Seeing Su Sanniang drinking, Li Weiguo was immediately happy. How could he let Su Sanniang return to the Northern Expedition Army to die? I knew that the persuasion was ineffective, so I made arrangements long ago. Chen Ziyan deliberately put the slut in the wine.

"What did you do to me?" Su Sanniang is also an old man. She has never seen any storms before. When she felt dizzy, she immediately realized that she had been infected with the drug. Unfortunately, she was guarding day and night, but in the end she was still difficult to guard against. She was not guarding Li Weiguo, so she thought to him.

"Sister, don't blame me. I don't want you to go back and die. So I gave you medicine. When you wake up, I admit that I'll beat you or scold you!" Li Weiguo said frankly.

Su Sanniang was furious because she had no relatives in this world. Li Weiguo was her sworn brother, so she became her only relative. She could tolerate anything but could not tolerate being plotted by Li Weiguo. So she raised her hand and wanted to beat Li Weiguo, but unfortunately the medicine was too strong. She could no longer stand firm.

Li Weiguo reached out to hug her, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief as Su Sanniang quickly fell into a coma.

Su Sanniang in history is a mystery, just like Hong Xuanjiao. There are many statements about the cause of their death. For Su Sanniang, there are only two most authoritative statements, one is that he died in the Northern Expedition, and the other is that he died in the destruction of Tianjing. Li Weiguo believed that it was the former, but he had successfully stopped him.

Unconsciously, Li Weiguo rewritten Su Sanniang's life trajectory. As for how much impact it has on the historical process, Li Weiguo no longer cares about it. He believes that as long as he keeps strengthening his strength, no matter how his history changes, the kingly way is to stop the water and station the generals and to respond to all changes without changing.

Su Sanniang brought many followers, all of whom were old members of the Tiandihui Society, especially Chen Wu, who was loyal to Su Sanniang. Because of this, they all neglected to prevent Li Weiguo.

At this moment, seeing Su Sanniang be caught in Li Weiguo's slut, falling into his arms and unconscious, Chen Wu and others were immediately angry and drew their swords and rushed towards Li Weiguo.

However, Li Weiguo was prepared, and the Li family army behind him had already been on high alert, and more than a thousand people surrounded less than a hundred people.

"Don't shoot!"

Li Weiguo shouted loudly, stopping the Li family army from shooting at the people of the Tiandihui Society, and at the same time explained: "Brothers from the Tiandihui Society, don't be excited, listen to what I say!"

Chen Wu shouted angrily: "What else can I say? Li Weiguo, I'm blind. I misread you and thought you were a man of paranormality. I didn't expect you to plot against your sworn sister. Master Su treated you sincerely, but you wanted to take her to receive merits and rewards from the Dog Court. How could you do it? If you dare to touch the master's hair today, I will fight you!"

"Yes! If you dare to touch Master Su, we will fight with you!" The members of the Tiandihui Association shouted angrily, wanting to fight with Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo did not blame Chen Wu and others, but was happy that they dared to protect Su Sanniang with their lives, so he said calmly: "Brother Chen, brothers, you should know that I have been persuading my elder sister to come to my side to do things, because I don't want my elder sister to return to the Northern Expedition Army and sacrifice her life in vain. So don't be excited first, because I can swear that I won't hurt my elder sister at all, let alone hand her over to the court. I just want to bring her back to Shanghai. War is the business of men, and women should not be allowed to shed blood and tears. I am for the good of my elder sister."

Sure enough, when Li Weiguo said this, Chen Wu and others also felt that it made sense. After all, they all knew that Li Weiguo was persuading Su Sanniang to follow him every day. However, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, and they dared not believe it easily.

"You hand over the hall master to us. At worst, we don't return to the Northern Expedition Army. We will send her back to the Heaven and Earth Fire Hall!" Chen Wu immediately suggested.

Li Weiguo shook his head and smiled, "Brother Chen, do you think that after my elder sister wakes up, can you persuade her to return to the Fire Hall? Even if you really persuade her, will your helm leader spare her?"

Chen Wu and others were speechless. They knew that Su Sanniang's temper was definitely impossible to go back to the Tiandihui. Even if they went back, the head of the Tiandihui would not be careless.

"Then what are you going to do?" Chen Wu was not brave enough and lacked the backbone after all.

Li Weiguodao: "My elder sister will stay in Yuyuan in the future until the end of the war."

"No!" Chen Wu disagreed immediately when he heard this. What is this? Is Su Sanniang under house arrest? He will never allow it.

"You are not qualified to bargain with me!" Li Weiguo said domineeringly, although his tone was plain, it released the strength of the superiors, making people dare not face him.

Li Weiguo handed Su Sanniang to Chen Ziyan, put it on the carriage, and then led the Li family army to leave.

From beginning to end, Chen Wu could only watch Su Sanniang being taken away by Li Weiguo. He was not stupid at all. He knew that he could not beat the other party even if he was forced to do so. He could only return to the Northern Expedition Army to report the matter first. At the same time, Fei Ge sent a letter to inform the head of the Tiandihui Association. This matter was beyond his ability.

In this way, Li Weiguo brought Chen Ziyan and Su Sanniang back to Shanghai Yu Garden together. Of course, Su Sanniang was in a state of sleep. Li Weiguo did not dare to let her wake up halfway. He was thinking about what to do when Su Sanniang woke up after returning to Yu Garden.

"It's inevitable to get beaten!"

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, it’s not easy to be a good person!

Just when Li Weiguo returned to Shanghai, a war broke out throughout Jiangbei. The Qing court mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops from various provinces in Jiangbei to suppress the Northern Expedition troops of the Taiping Army from all sides.

Originally, the 30,000 Northern Expedition Army was robbed by Li Weiguo, causing the 10,000 troops who were originally commanded by Su Sanniang lost command. The backbone of this army was all members of the Tiandihui Association. Lin Fengxiang appointed Hong Xuanjiao to temporarily take over Su Sanniang's position, but the command was not effective.

When the Qing army killed Fengyang from all directions, the ten thousand troops commanded by Hong Xuanjiao were vulnerable and were defeated by Shengbao's troops, resulting in the loss of Fengyang, Chuzhou and Dingyuan one after another, and the contact and supplies of the Northern Expedition Army with Tianjing were all interrupted.

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang had to give up Anhui and lead their troops to attack Haozhou, and then switch to Henan. They began to fight guerrilla warfare.

Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing of Tianjing immediately blamed all this on Li Weiguo, and the relationship between the two sides suddenly appeared. Since the main force of the second Taiping Army was expeditioning the west, Li Weiguo did not order the Li family army to attack Tianjing after returning to Shanghai. The two sides were temporarily at peace, but there were already cracks, so it would be difficult to repair them.

Li Weiguo didn't care. He knew that sooner or later, he would go to war head-on with the Taiping Army. Now that Su Sanniang is concerned, there is an excuse. As long as the Taiping Army dares to fight eastward, Li Weiguo will make them pay a heavy price.

However, as long as the Taiping Army does not take the initiative to fight the East, Li Weiguo will not provoke the Taiping Army. After all, there is still a private transaction between the two sides. Once the war begins, the Taiping Army will not guarantee that it will not cause this incident. Although Li Weiguo is mentally prepared, he still has to be careful and cannot show up until he has to.

During this trip to Jiangbei, Li Weiguo brought back two beauties in one go, and naturally had a great harvest and a great success. He could wake up laughing while sleeping.

But some people laugh and some people cry, some people are proud and some people hate them.

This is most obvious to Hu Xueyan. He lay on the sickbed for half a month and vowed to take revenge. Unfortunately, the memorial of Anhui Governor Pang Jingsong failed to impeach Li Weiguo. Hu Xueyan spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to settle the capital, and wasted all the money.

He hates it!

I wish I could eat Li Weiguo's skin, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!

He was unable to get Li Weiguo in the court, so Hu Xueyan was preparing to solve the problem locally. He immediately wrote to his sworn brother, asking his brother to avenge him.

Hu Xueyan's sworn brother is not someone else, but Zuo Zongtang, the famous in history.

At this time, Zuo Zongtang was working in Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army. He was able to get the value of Zeng Guofan. In addition to his ability, what was more important was Hu Xueyan's financial support. Because Zeng Guofan needed a large amount of money to form the Hunan Army, Hu Xueyan spent a lot of money to pave the way for Zuo Zongtang, making him a general under Zeng Guofan in just one year and highly valued.

After Zuo Zongtang learned about this, he naturally had to stand up for Hu Xueyan. However, the Hunan Army is now fighting fiercely with the Taiping Army in Jiangxi, so he cannot separate himself, otherwise he would have brought people to Shanghai to find Li Weiguo to ask for people.

Although Zuo Zongtang had no time, he still wrote a threatening and intimidation letter and sent someone to Shanghai Yuyuan to hand it over to Li Weiguo, which was equivalent to declaring war on Li Weiguo.

"God, it's Zuo Zongtang!"

After reading the letter, Li Weiguo also smiled bitterly, and even provoked Zuo Zongtang, one of the four osses in the late Qing Dynasty. It seemed that God could not stand him, Li Weiguo had been going smoothly, afraid that he would be lonely, so he found a powerful opponent for him.
