The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 84 Zuo Liangyu

Each of the four carts was dragged by two horses, and all the gold and silver were loaded into them and pulled into the city.

Although there is an error in the weight, the error is not large and is within an acceptable range.

However, it is not without episodes. Although there are repeated orders, there are still people who hide gold and silver privately.

After the body search, three people were investigated for hiding gold and were beheaded on the spot.

Money touches people's hearts, and there is never a shortage of desperate people in this world.

Chen Gong also sent back news from the southeast one after another.

Under the pursuit all the way, more than [-] cavalry were separated and escorted the fugitive bandits back to Chunhua in batches.

Then at noon on the second day, they caught up with some of the cavalry who had been intercepted by Liu Chenggong, and cooperated with Liu Chenggong to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

However, Li Zicheng escaped in the end, and there were only more than [-] elite cavalry who followed him, and the rest of the elite cavalry and horse troops were left behind.

The situation in the direction of Sanshui in the north also became clear during the investigation.

Chuangjun, who collapsed due to the fire, fled all the way to Sanshui.

The person who guards after Sanshui is broken is Li Zicheng's nephew, Li Guo, a tiger.

After hearing that the army was defeated in Chunhua, and all the supplies were burned, Li Zicheng and others did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Without any hesitation, Li Guo led the fine cavalry and cavalry troops who were guarding Binzhou to flee north quickly, abandoning Sanshui City, withdrawing from the boundaries of Xi'an Prefecture, and leaving behind all the old, weak and hungry soldiers.

Because of this, Chen Wang also found an opportunity and contacted Zuo Liangyu.

When Zuo Liangyu received the letter from Chen Wang, he didn't believe it at all.

Zuo Liangyu's immediate reaction was that Chunhua was broken by Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng sent him a letter in the name of Chen Wang, asking him to lead troops forward, in order to eat up the troops under his command.

But on second thought, even if Li Zicheng really wanted to cheat him, he wouldn't use such a clumsy trick.

Zuo Liangyu didn't believe that the Chuang army had indeed suffered a major defeat under Chunhua City until it was corroborated by various news reported by Tang Ma sent later.

But even so, Zuo Liangyu was still very cautious.

He first sent cavalry as the vanguard to make sure there were no ambushes on both sides of the road, and then sent infantry to regain Sanshui City.

After consolidating and repairing the city defense of Sanshui City, the main force was stationed in Sanshui City from Binzhou.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu encountered a heavy siege in Wu'an and almost died. Since then, Zuo Liangyu has been cautious.

Zuo Liangyu was still in a daze until he led the troops to recapture Sanshui City and picked up a share of the work of restoring the soil for nothing.

According to Tangma's detective report, there are more than [-] troops of rogues going south.

Zuo Liangyu knew very well how many people there were in Chunhua, and he had met Chen Wang several times.

Chen Wang brought more than 50 riders there, as well as the four rounds of recruits under his command.

The remnant soldiers under Ai Wannian's command were also divided into four rounds, but the total number of these people was less than 1000, and the total number of Liao cavalry in Chunhua was only 2000.

Although Zuo Liangyu was ignorant and illiterate, he could still do basic arithmetic.

He can still tell the difference between 2000 people and [-].

Zuo Liangyu would never have believed that he could win if he hadn't really occupied Sanshui City.

Zuo Liangyu thought hard, and sent someone to question the defeated army again, but naturally they didn't ask the specific reason why the defeated army was defeated.

Those rout soldiers only knew that a fire suddenly ignited, and then the entire camp collapsed, and then there was no more.

Outside Sanshui City, a group of generals and academies in the tents of the Chinese army were arguing about how to write the battle report and how to deal with the prisoners of Sanshui City.

As for Zuo Liangyu, he was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, thinking about the news he had received, and the hustle and bustle in the tent did not affect him.

In the tent outside the city of Binzhou, he joked that Chen Wang only needed to make a few more contributions.

It will not be a problem to be promoted to a guerrilla at that time, and it may not be possible to be a deputy general or a general in the future.

It was originally just a scene, but I didn't expect it to be fulfilled immediately.

"This kid, maybe he can really be the chief soldier..."

Zuo Liangyu murmured in a low voice, Cao Wenzhao's current position is to assist the general army.

Theoretically speaking, he is the head of the generals, and his status is higher than that of the other generals and lieutenants.

Cao Wenzhao had a deep foundation in the court and a wide range of contacts, so he was highly valued by Hong Chengchou.

As Cao Wenzhao's trusted family member, Chen Wangli's meritorious service can only be talked about more, not less.

And Cao Wenzhao will go one step further because of Chen Wang's military exploits.

"There are really monsters under the hands of monsters..."

Zuo Liangyu couldn't figure out the situation in the end, so he had to blame Cao Wenzhao for all the problems.

Cao Wenzhao is a monster, so is Cao Bianjiao, and now Chen Wang, who is also a monster, has appeared under Cao Wenzhao's command.

The main reason why Zuo Liangyu respected Cao Wenzhao was during the Battle of the Four Cities.

Prime Minister Ma Shilong granted Shangfang Sword to Cao Wenzhao, and asked Cao Wenzhao to lead the generals Wang Chengyin, Zhang Shujia, and him to recover the four cities.

Zuo Liangyu watched with his own eyes that Cao Wenzhao led his servants to confront Houjin's armored soldiers head-on. Houjin's armored soldiers were several points more numerous, but they won in the end.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't be more clear about the combat power of the Hou Jin soldiers.

So from then on, as long as Cao Wenzhao said something, he never voted against it.

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu had a slightly strange expression on his face.

He always felt that Chen Wang was quite familiar when he was in Binzhou, but now that his memory is deeper, he finally remembered it.

In the four cities, Chen Wang was by Cao Wenzhao's side and was Cao Wenzhao's close guard.

After the war, under the neck of Chen Wang's war horse hung two heads of Zhenyi.

The most important reason why Zuo Liangyu still remembers it now is because the head is removed.

At that time, on the saddle of Chen Wang's war horse, there was still a captured Niu Luzhang Jing flag.

Based on the cattle record, the post-Golden soldiers used the cattle record as the calculation unit to reclaim the fields, conscript soldiers and wear armor, and receive taxes for service.

There are 300 people in Yiniulu, and the leader is Niulu Zhangjing.

Liaodong fights dozens of hundreds of battles every year, and the first level does not take much in one year, and even fewer military flags are captured.

Chen Wang went out to fight with Cao Wenzhao according to the time, and even snatched back a Niuluzhangjing flag.

"Yuncheng."

Zuo Liangyu raised his head and shouted.

The originally noisy military tent fell silent in an instant.

Now Zuo Liangyu still firmly holds the power in the army.

Although the requirements for military discipline were very relaxed, Zuo Liangyu did not relax at all in other aspects.

When Zuo Liangyu was speaking, no one dared to interrupt.

"Subordinates are here."

Wang Yuncheng got out of the chair and half knelt on the ground to answer.

Zuo Liangyu's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the people in the tent first.

Although he was thinking about the problem, he could hear everyone's words clearly.

"Don't play tricks on the battle report, just write whatever you want."

Hong Chengchou is not easy to be fooled, for a little gold and silver and meritorious deeds, Hong Chengchou remembers that he killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, and received the reward. It is undoubtedly that he picked up the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon. Zuo Liangyu was very clear about these things.

When all the military academies in the tent heard Zuo Liangyu's words, they naturally had no objection, and they all bowed their heads and obeyed.

Zuo Liangyu sighed softly in his heart, he has not had a single outstanding talent in his army so far.

He only thought about some petty profits, and his face was flushed red.

Zuo Liangyu's face softened a little, and finally shifted his gaze to Wang Yuncheng.

"You go..."

When Zuo Liangyu was about to speak, he stopped suddenly.

"Do not."

Zuo Liangyu paused for a moment, then stood up.

"You go to prepare the horse, order two hundred rides, and come with me to Chunhua."

Zuo Liangyu changed his mind at the last moment.
