Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 48: Qin Liangyu

But he said that Li Guo went directly to Luo Rucai's mansion before, and he was caught off guard and beheaded Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng was overjoyed.

Luo Rucai was second only to him and Zhang Xianzhong among so many bandits, so he was coveted.

In order to appease the army, Li Zicheng followed Song Xiance's strategy and asked the garrison outside Xiangyang, that is, more than a dozen generals of Luo Rucai, to enter the city to discuss matters.

Logically speaking, Li Zicheng was elected by the generals in the army as: "Marshal Fengtian Advocating Justice", and Luo Rucai was elected by the generals in the army as: "General Dewei Fumin on behalf of the sky".

The positions of the two are only divided into big and small, not high and low, and they have no power to recruit each other.

That's why Luo Rucai's subordinates kept talking about it.

As a last resort, I can only enter Xiangyang City.

However, a group of people wanted to enter the Luo Mansion, but were stopped by Li Guo's soldiers.

"General Yang, what should I do!" Huang Long was quite frightened.

"One step is one step!" Yang Chengzu frowned, feeling extremely unhappy.

Luo Rucai is resourceful and resourceful. Among the many rebels, he is unique. He is generous and has the morale of the army. The generals have doubts, but they dare not act presumptuously.

Everyone had a premonition that something unexpected might happen to Luo Shuai.

In the silence, the generals had to move.

When they came to the meeting room, at this moment, there was a sound behind the screen, and Li Zicheng, a tall horse, dressed in mourning clothes and with a sad face, came out with Song Xiance and Li Guo.

The faces of the generals turned pale.

After Li Zicheng took his seat, he looked around and saw that everyone had arrived. This time he was secretly happy, and said in a low voice:
"The general colluded with the enemy and conspired to rebel, and the Fa has been executed at this hour."

A surge of grief and injustice rose in Cao Yingzhong's heart.

Li Guo's face darkened, watching their every move vigilantly.

To prevent accidents, ten warriors were hidden behind the screen, and a hundred ambush soldiers were also deployed around the hall.

Yang Chengzu's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out badly.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng, pretending to be sad, recalled the Jinlan friendship with Luo Rucai first, and then listed Luo Rucai's crimes of colluding with Gao Mingheng and secretly informing Zuo Liangyu.

The generals in Cao Ying talked softly, Yang Chengzu knew the inside story, and the commander-in-chief of Xindao was actually blacked out.

Huang Long suddenly stood up and asked: "It is said that the general had infidelity with the government, do you have witnesses and evidence?"

Song Xiance smiled slightly, shook his feather fan, and said, "Gao Mingheng's spy has been beheaded after interrogation, and Zuo Liangyu's spy is still in custody. Please interrogate everyone together."

Li Zicheng feigned a long sigh:
"I am brother and brother with the general, but the crime of collaborating with the enemy and plotting treason cannot be forgiven."

"Now that General Luo is gone, you are still my generals. I will treat you as always. In the future, you will conquer the world. You are the founding heroes."

The generals were ignorant and did not dare to fight, so they could only surrender.

However, Yang Chengzu and other generals pretended to surrender, and once they returned to the barracks, they would immediately ride thousands of gallops with other generals and join Sun Chuanting.

Li Guo was shocked and couldn't catch up.

……

"Brother Yang, do you think Sun Chuanting will accept us?"

Riding on the horse, the waiting time was quite difficult, Huang Long said a little annoyed.

"Sun Chuanting is different from others!"

Yang Chengzu said to himself: "Bai Guangen, Gao Jie, and Niu Chenghu under him, which one is not from our background?"

"As long as he can deal with Li Zicheng, I think he will be happy."

Looking at the unattainable Tongguan in front of him, Yang Chengzu sighed: "Actually, as long as Sun Chuanting doesn't leave the pass, Li Zicheng can't do anything to him."

After accepting the supplies and waiting for two or three days, I finally entered the checkpoint.

Immediately, he was taken care of and came to Xi'an.

The military camp stretching for tens of miles, they were slightly startled, and then entered the city respectfully, see Sun Chuanting.

"Luo Ru just died?"

Sun Chuanting looked at these people and confirmed.

"Luo Shuai was murdered by Thief Li, and we are at odds with him."

Yang Chengzu said in grief and indignation.

Sun Chuanting was noncommittal and didn't care much about their expressions.

If he hadn't planned to go east and wanted these thousands of cavalry to be the vanguard, he would never have paid any attention to it.

After a little reassurance, Sun Chuanting said to Zhao Shu: "This Yang Chengzu and others came at the right time, and they must be quite familiar with Henan and Huguang."

"I'm afraid it's a combination of inside and outside!"

Zhao Shu thought for a while, and said: "The thief has many tricks, you should not be negligent, it is better to be careful."

"You're right."

Sun Chuanting nodded, and then seriously said: "I promise to send troops in August, mobilize troops from seven provinces, encircle the intruders, finish their battle, and never let them escape again."

Zhao Shu nodded, picked up the pen knowingly, and began to write the official document.

Three official documents, first of all, Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Henan Province (who shot Li Zicheng in the left eye), and Bu Congshan, gathered together to attack Li Zicheng.

Secondly, he ordered Zuo Liangyu's troops to start from Jiujiang and enter Runing.

Finally, Qin Yiming, the general soldier of Sichuan, was ordered to lead his troops to Shang and Luo to respond.

Attempts to attack from three directions will attack Ru and Xiang and annihilate the main force of the intruders.

After some words, Sun Chuanting's tongue was dry and he pondered for a while, before Sun Chuanting said to his friend Zhao Shu:
"Shizhi, do you know why I stubbornly want to go east?"

"Isn't there the court above and the gentry below?"

Zhao Shu was taken aback.

"not only that."

Sun Chuanting smiled wryly and said: "When I learned that the trespassers set up the imperial court and set up hundreds of officials, I understood that we can only settle quickly."

"Huguang is a fertile land in the world, and Shaanxi is definitely no match. Resting and recuperating will only make the intruders stronger. I gain one point, and the enemy is three points stronger. Time is waiting for me!"

Zhao Shu suddenly realized that looking at it this way, it is really necessary to send troops.

Got into a dead end.

However, with money, food and military orders, they soon arrived in Zhongzhou from Hanzhong.

Due to the ineffectiveness of sending troops in Henan, Qin Yiming was dismissed from the post of commander-in-chief and stayed at home.

On this day, when he received the military order from Xi'an, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the letter and came to Mafu.

"Auntie, Auntie, that's great, the Governor appointed me."

"When you're old, how can you be decent?"

A hale and hearty old woman with white hair walked up step by step with her back straight. When she saw her nephew looking happy, she couldn't help scolding her.

She is the heroine Qin Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty. She has suppressed the She Chongming Rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong Rebellion and other major battles, and she has a great reputation.

Today, although it is 70 years old, it is still famous and imposing.

"Yes!" Qin Yiming nodded, stood up respectfully, and presented the letter.

"As the deputy chief soldier, you have to be careful when you have committed crimes and made meritorious service."

Looking at his nephew, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but carefully ordered: "Governor Sun also sent money, he can be said to be a careful person, you have to do things well, and don't lose the reputation of my Qin family."

"Auntie, I will avenge Xianglin (Ma Xianglin)." Qin Yiming said angrily.

"Xianglin guarded Xiangyang and died. He deserved his death and devoted himself to serving the country."

Thinking of his son, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but his expression darkened, and he cheered up and said, "Don't be blinded by hatred and act emotionally. On the battlefield, there must be no recklessness."

"My nephew understands."

"You have to be careful, Li Zicheng, it's not easy to deal with." Qin Liangyu touched his nephew's weather-beaten face, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

"Nephew knows!" Qin Yiming said calmly with a trace of fear in his heart.
