Chapter 111 Zuo Liangyu defeated
"...The armor produces lice, and thousands of people die. The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away. One hundred people is left alone, and the thoughts are broken."
Near the official road, there was desolate everywhere. The wheat seedlings in the farmland became a withered yellow due to lack of water. A gust of southeastern wind blew, making it difficult to open your eyes. Under the double blow of drought and bandits, the vicinity of Shunde Prefecture and Guangping Prefecture is really sparsely populated and desolate.
When Lin Chunhong saw this scene, he couldn't help but recite Cao Cao's "Haolixing". He felt sad and could not help himself.
When Wei Wu fought in the north and south, was he as compassionate as himself?
Lu Shiming and Lin Chunhong walked with her reins. Seeing Lin Chunhong's depressed expression, in order to relieve him, he said: "The King of Lu of Wei Hui is the son of Muzong, and the first generation of Lu Wang is the grandfather of the current saint's hall. His blood ties are quite close. The ones who are most intimate with the King of the current saint are the King of Fu of Luoyang, the King of Rui of Hanzhong, and the King of Hui of Jingzhou, are all the uncles of the Lord of the Supreme Court!"
Lin Chunhong replied: "What are these borers doing? When I mention these vassal kings, I feel all over my body!"
Lu Shiming smiled slightly and said, "King Hui handed over all the land in Zhijiang to the Grand Governor, and he received more than 200,000 taels of silver every year. According to the Grand Governor, this is called the major shareholder. How can there be a borer? There is no way, they are blessed and were born in the imperial family. The ancestors left them with rich heritage."
Lin Chunhong was silent. These vassal kings are really lucky?
Lu Shiming continued: "When King Lu saw that the bandits entered Henan again, his fief was in danger, he submitted a message to the emperor and requested reinforcements. According to the information from the capital, the court intended to let Ni Chong and Wang Pu lead the Jing camp to Henan. As a result, Donglin Party member Li Jizhen immediately reported that Zuo Liangyu had experienced many battles and was under Ni Chong and Wang Pu, which may affect morale! Haha, it turns out that there are people in the court who are easy to be an official, and Zuo Liangyu is going to be promoted again! The general is probably disappointed this time."
Lin Chunhong said: "If the court does not punish it severely, we should burn incense. Don't expect to be promoted. Besides, no matter how high the military position is, what is the significance of us? We are leading our own archers to fight?"
Lu Shiming smiled bitterly and said, "That's the case, but I always feel unhappy! I just don't get promoted, so I should give some money to reward the army, right?"
"The Ministry of Revenue has lost more than one million taels of silver, so how can I have this spare money? The emperor's treasury should have some. Otherwise, if even the military pay from the Beijing camp cannot be paid, wouldn't the capital be in chaos? The imperial court also has a lot of troops. Why do you only want a fancy force like the Beijing camp this time?"
Lu Shiming immediately woke up and said, "Is it because the court cannot afford the money and food, so he has to send out the emperor's Beijing camp?"
Lin Chunhong nodded and said, "I guess this is the case. It is better to send it to the front line than to waste money and food in the capital."
Lu Shiming slapped his thighs and said, "Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi are indeed full of wisdom and tricks. This trick is really a killing two birds with one stone!"
Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not as good as I thought! Cao Huachun, the current governor of the Beijing camp, can tolerate Wen Tiren and the General of the War to reach into his pot? I guess, Wen Tiren offended Cao Huachun this time!"
After saying that, he sighed and continued, "It's really difficult to do something in this world. Even if you are as warm as a body and a high position and a powerful person, you are still restrained everywhere. Oh, it's difficult..."
The two of them chatted while walking, and suddenly they looked for a horse to report: "The King of Rebellion Gao Yingxiang led more than 40,000 people and countless people, and suddenly crossed the Taihang Mountains and killed Zuo Liangyu at Motianling in Wu'an County and was defeated. He turned around and headed south to Zhangde Prefecture, Henan. Zuo Liangyu led the defeated troops to station in Nanhezhuang, only twenty miles away from our army."
Lin Chunhong was shocked: "When did Gao Yingxiang arrive in Shanxi? Damn, what are the things in the mansion newspaper? Not long ago, it was said that Qin Liangyu defeated Gao Yingxiang at Kuiguan!"
Lu Shiming smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter when Gao Yingxiang will arrive in Shanxi. We just need to know that northern Henan will be in chaos!"
Lin Chunhong pondered for a while and shouted sternly to the messenger: "Let the cavalry camp make every effort to find out the details of Gao Yingxiang, and be sure to find out how many elite Gao Yingxiang has!"
With the issuance of Lin Chunhong's orders, Jingzhou archers and cavalrymen came out everywhere and rushed to Zhangde Mansion, Henan.
At this time, a burst of shattering sounds came from Zuo Liangyu's central army tent. Then, Zuo Liangyu's screams came out: "Damn Cao Wenzhao, he only knows how to ride horses around. There are more than 40,000 high thieves, and he doesn't inform me that if you don't know how to fight, give me the cavalry! Damn, You Shilu is not a good thing, you want to leave Motianling, and at least make me angry... What a bullshit command, the Ministry of War will set up the arrangement, Zhang Fengyi transferred me around, ran a lot, and they all ran into hungry soldiers..."
The generals lowered their heads and looked at their toes, daring to let out their anger, waiting for Zuo Liangyu's anger to pass.
When Zuo Liangyu saw the generals like turtles, he was even more fire-like. He swept the generals with a murderous look. Finally, his eyes fell on Zhang Yingyuan and shouted sternly: "Zhang Yingyuan, how did Gao Yingxiang come from Motianling?"
Zhang Yingyuan couldn't help but shivered, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground and said in a stuttering voice: "The last general...the last general...the last general saw General You...the heavy troops guarding Motianling, so he relaxed his guard...the last general...the last general knew his mistake..."
Zuo Liangyu wanted to step forward and kick Zhang Yingyuan a few times, and shouted and cursed: "Childish! You Shilu will help us watch Motianling, nainai, and sows also climbed the tree! People came and pushed Zhang Yingyuan out and killed!"
The two personal guards raised Zhang Yingyuan from the ground like tigers and wolves and dragged him outside the tent.
Zhang Yingyuan was shocked and shouted: "Master, please spare me, Master, I know that I am wrong. I will never dare to do it again next time..."
The guard paused and turned to look at Zuo Liangyu.
Zuo Liangyu was furious: "Why aren't you hurry up? You two are itchy necks too?"
The guard trembled all over and immediately dragged Zhang Yingyuanfei to the outside of the tent like a storm.
Zhang Yingyuan burst into cold sweat and shouted: "Master...Master... In Liaodong, the last general was shot more than ten times in order to save the Master...Master..."
Luo Dai hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master General, although Zhang Yingyuan deserves to die, he killed countless enemies. If he killed him, he may ruin the hearts of the soldiers! It is better to let him commit crimes and make meritorious service."
When the generals saw Luo Dai pleading for mercy, they knelt down and pleaded for Zhang Yingyuan.
Zuo Liangyu had no intention of killing Zhang Yingyuan, so she sighed and said, "Forget it, let's take it back..."
Zhang Yingyuan escaped from death, still gasping for breath, and slumped on the ground, trembling and thanking: "Mr. Xie for not killing!"
Zuo Liangyu was about to continue scolding Zhang Yingyuan, but suddenly his subordinates reported: "Guerrilla General Lin Chunhong asked for a visit!"
Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath and said coldly: "Let him wait!"
Lin Chunhong was waiting outside the tent, but he was relieved. Zuo Liangyu was the deputy general and was expected to be promoted to general. He was qualified to present this.
Although Zuo Liangyu secretly shot Lin Chunhong's two arrows, Lin Chunhong hated Zuo Liangyu deeply and waited for an opportunity to take revenge. On the surface, he had to maintain a harmonious atmosphere. When necessary, in order to use each other, he had to work together to deal with the huge waves.
After waiting for half an hour, Zuo Liangyu ordered his subordinates to bring Lin Chunhong into the tent. As soon as they met, Zuo Liangyu sighed: "General Lin killed the enemy in Shunde and intercepted countless military funds. My old Zuo is far from being defeated two consecutive games, so I feel ashamed!"
Lin Chunhong shouted: "The General fought several battles with the bandits, and he worked hard and made great contributions. How could the Emperor and the court not know? It would be a matter of time before they could be promoted to the General."
When Zuo Liangyu heard Lin Chunhong calling himself the General, he smiled bitterly: "General, General, how can I, Lao Zuo, be qualified to become General?"
Of course, Zuo Liangyu knew about Li Jizhen's memorial, and was secretly surprised by Lin Chunhong: The news about this kid is so well-versed!
Zuo Liangyu said: "It's so pitiful. We fought with the bandits on the front line for several battles. Not only did we lose troops and lose generals, we would also be scolded! Deng Yan hid in Shunde Prefecture and ate delicious food and drink spicy food. He just needed to say that only the Ministry of War is the only one who follows the orders of the Ministry of War. Alas, this world..."
Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "It was a pool of sludge. Chunhong didn't dare to look at it. He would rather hide outside the sludge to fight."
Lin Chunhong knew that after Deng Qi changed the sect, he was taken care of by Zhang Fengyi. This inevitably made Zuo Liangyu jealous, but Zuo Liangyu could not change the sect. Everyone knows that Hou Xun is the master of Zuo Liangyu. If Hou Xun abandons Hou Xun, he will fall into a state of doom.
Zuo Liangyu said: "Now Gao Yingxiang's troops are strong and powerful, but my troops are frustrated. It will be a matter of time before Zhangde's mansion falls. What if it does? If the court blames us, we will be the surrender!"
Zuo Liangyu kept saying "we" and made Lin Chunhong very disgusted. Damn, the court's punishment is about to be punished by you, Zuo Liangyu. What's the matter with me? Do you want to take me to suffer together?
Lin Chunhong wanted to leave, but considering that Zuo Liangyu and he were both the Donglin lineage, he was inconvenient to make trouble too much. He frowned and pretended to think about good strategies. After a long time, Lin Chunhong sighed: "Chunhong is young and knowledgeable, but he can't think about good strategies."
In fact, Lin Chunhong really misunderstood Zuo Liangyu in this regard. Zuo Liangyu did not have the intention to get Lin Chunhong together. He kept saying "we" to bring the relationship closer together. After Zuo Liangyu's defeat, the supplies and food were all lost. Now he is facing the threat of shortage of food. He really hopes that Lin Chunhong can help him overcome the difficulties.
Out of disgust with Zuo Liangyu, Lin Chunhong thought that Zuo Liangyu had bad intentions, as the saying goes, suspicion of his neighbor stealing an axe.
Zuo Liangyu said: "I have a way here. Didn't the Ministry of War ask me to arrive at Weihui within a limited time? But at present, Gao Yingxiang is crossing between Guangping Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture, blocking our way south. We only need to follow Gao Yingxiang to move south. There should be no problem within the prescribed time limit."
Lin Chunhong frowned and said, "What should we do if Gao Yingxiang doesn't leave after conquering Zhangde Mansion?"
Zuo Liangyu said: "This requires General Lin and I to press towards Zhangde Mansion. Gao Yingxiang is afraid of being surrounded by officers and soldiers, and he has to leave even if he doesn't leave!"
Lin Chunhong clapped his hands and smiled: "Sir General is a good plan!"
Zuo Liangyu said bitterly: "But I still have a problem. Now that the army is short of food and the morale is low, I am afraid that General Lin still needs to support him. After the war with Gao Yingxiang, although he was defeated, our army also intercepted a large number of refugees. Why would General Lin provide some food and grass? I would ask him to send the refugees to Jingzhou?"
Lin Chunhong was shocked. How did Zuo Liangyu know about the secret matter between him and Zhang Fengyi?
