Chapter 91 The Battle of Zhongzhou Part 7

Chapter 91

Zuo Liangyu pulled out camp from Wuyang County, braved the drizzle and marched for two days before arriving at the junction of Wuyang and Yancheng.

Not long after his defeat in Zhuxian Town, the morale of his troops was low. After walking for two days, the soldiers were cold and hungry, and they were exhausted.

"Marshal, it's raining, can Sun Dushi's strategy be implemented smoothly?" Zuo Liangyu's general Jin Shenghuan, riding on a horse, watched the soldiers struggling forward in the mud, and couldn't help frowning slightly, a little worried The situation in Xiangcheng.

"I think it's a bit precarious, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not high!" Li Guoying, another member of the department, looked up at the sky, not as worried as Jin Shenghuan, and said casually: "In this weather, firearms cannot be used, so it is more beneficial for intruders. I think Even if you win, it's a miserable victory."

A large group of generals behind Zuo Liangyu, except for Jin Shenghuan who was killed anyway after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, such as Li Guoying, Xu Yong, and Hao Xiaozhong, all made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. A parasitic life that sucks people's blood.

Historically, when Zuo Menggeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he contributed fifteen military officers, one hundred generals, and one hundred thousand troops to the Manchu Qing at once, resulting in a large group of traitors.As far as "The Biography of Two Officials" is concerned, there are several traitors from the Zuo Army. If you count those who are not enough, the Zuo Army was in the ranks of traitors in the late Ming Dynasty. Accounting for a [-]% share, Li Guoying, Xu Yong, and Hao Xiaozhong alone helped the Manchu Qing occupy at least one province.

After hearing Li Guoying's words, all the generals couldn't help nodding their heads. In fact, they didn't really want to suppress any bandits.

Xu Yong took the conversation and looked at Zuo Liangyu, a little worried for the safety of the troops, afraid that if Sun Chuanting was defeated, they would plunge into Chuangjun's arms, "Marshal, should we be more cautious, stop and wait for a while?" Look, we will kill them when we have definite news.”

Zuo Liangyu was seven feet tall, a big red-faced man, illiterate, but had a lot of bad ideas.Wearing iron armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a bright red cloak, he rode in front of the team, listening to his subordinates' arguments, but shook his head, "It's not convenient to camp here in the wilderness, so we'd better wait until Yancheng to send spies to investigate. "

As he spoke, he held the reins of the horse, turned his head to appease the generals and said, "Don't worry, we'll go over this time, if Sun Chuanting wins, we'll rush forward immediately, if we don't win, then we won't be too late to retreat."

Hearing what he said, many generals of the left army felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's still the commander who has considered it thoroughly!"

Zuo Liangyu and his group have become warlords and a cancer of the Ming Dynasty. They have long since lost righteousness, and have no sense of family and country. They only value their own interests and the future of the entire Zuo Army. As for the Ming Dynasty, They don't really care much.

At this time Li Guoying rode closer to Zuo Liangyu, and said in a melancholy low voice: "Commander, the general still thinks that the commander does not need to go north at all to take this muddy water. The general will say something outrageous, and the court will I am very afraid of the commander in chief, if Li Zi succeeds or loses, it may be bad for the commander in chief."

Zuo Liangyu's department did many bad things, the court tolerated it now because Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were there, the court had nothing to do with him, but once the thieves were eliminated and the court was free, it was time to deal with him.

Zuo Liangyu's face darkened, he understood what Li Guoying meant, but he also had his reasons for deciding to go north.

Zuo Liangyu clamped down on the horse's belly, urged the horse to walk forward, and explained: "It is precisely because of this that we need to go north. In this battle, if Sun Chuanting really defeated Li Zicheng, if the commander did not participate, That would be a very dangerous situation.”

When he said this, Li Guoying understood, "Is the commander-in-chief afraid of being caught by the court?"

After hearing this, Hao Zhongzhong interjected: "What is the commander afraid of the court? Last time we retreated, the court didn't do anything to us. Although the officials were dismissed, we still lead the army. In fact, it is the same as if we were not punished."

Xu Yong nodded, "The imperial court is in vain now, as long as there are soldiers, the imperial court will not dare to do anything to us!"

"That was before!" Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, "If Sun Chuanting loses this time, no matter what I do, the court will not be able to do anything to me, but if Sun Chuanting wins and wipes out Li Zicheng, then there will be no bandits It is not impossible for the imperial court to be the Commander-in-Chief."

What Zuo Liangyu did was enough for the imperial court to kill him ten times. The reason why he didn't die was because he comprehended the ultimate meaning of survival in troubled times, understood the self-respect of mercenaries, pinched the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, and went wherever he went. Leading soldiers, not leaving the army easily, unlike He Renlong who was so careless, the court would have no chance to kill him.

However, he was able to be a mercenary, mainly because of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. If Li Zicheng was defeated, he would be in danger, so he had to come here to show that the court would not have an excuse to move him.

Li Guoying and the others pondered for a while, and they all understood Zuo Liangyu's meaning.They went there because they had listened to Sun Chuanting's order. If Sun Chuanting won, the court would not be able to hold them accountable. Moreover, they went by ear, and there would be no loss anyway, so it didn't matter if they went.

All the generals nodded one after another, thinking it made sense, and chatted for a while while walking.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu was riding on the horse, looked up at both sides of the mountain road, but suddenly sighed: "Li Zicheng's generation can become big, it is really lucky."

Li Guoying couldn't help asking: "Why did the commander-in-chief say that?"

Although Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Li Zicheng not long ago, he looked down on Li Zicheng and said contemptuously: "In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao and others surrounded Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. Transferred away, let them take the opportunity to break through. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was beaten by Hong Dushi to only eighteen riders, and was almost wiped out. Jiannu entered again, and Hong Dushi was transferred away again. In 13 years, when Li Zicheng entered Henan , the people of the imperial court are either suppressing Zhang Xianzhong, or preparing to rescue Zu Dashou, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to become bigger. This year, the imperial court and Li Zicheng fought a decisive battle in Henan, and Jiannu entered again. Tell me, is he lucky! "

In this way, Li Zicheng is really smoked from his ancestral grave, so there is nothing to say about his luck.

As he said that, Zuo Liangyu raised his whip and pointed at the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, saying that the generals laughed and said, "Li Zicheng is just lucky, and his ability is really average. This is the main road leading to Yancheng, and he didn't arrange A centaur is defending, if the coach really wants to kill him, now the centaur has appeared on his back!"

The generals looked up and saw that the mountains on both sides of the road were steep and overgrown with trees. It was indeed a good place to use soldiers.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu was laughing on his back on his horse, and the laughter was not over, suddenly the sound of drums on the hills on both sides vibrated, sharp arrows hit like a gust of wind, the arrow nets formed above their heads were falling rapidly, and the soldiers on the official road rushed one after another After being hit by an arrow, a mournful howl soared into the sky, startling Zuo Liangyu's laughter to stop abruptly, almost falling off her horse~
The generals saw countless figures jumping up the mountain, and the flags and flags were shaking. Before they could react, the arrows fell straight down.

At this time, on the hillside on the side of the official road, a black charcoal head picked up a dragon-slaying sword, and led thousands of people to rush down aggressively, screaming loudly, "Kill the grandson, and catch Zuo Liangyu~"

Zuo Liangyu rode on the frightened horse, and as the horse kept spinning around in place, her face turned pale~
