Chapter 489: Ping Thief General Zuo Dashuai (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
"Hey, the god killer is coming!"
When he said this, Zuo Liangyu was helpless.
His face was ugly, and his shoulders were broken.
The whole person sat on the chair as if he had collapsed, as if he had accepted his fate, and his heart was that suffocating. Because Zhang Xianzhong seized Yuezhou, the imperial court hurriedly ordered him to move from Jiujiang to Wuchang.
It would be nothing if it was put aside in the past, but now it is different, and now there are other people besides him who come to Huguang.
"Dad, can he kill whoever he wants without asking?"
Although he had long known General Pingyu's reputation as "domineering and domineering", Zuo Mengeng didn't think he was a big deal.
"You, you know a fart!"
Looking at his son, Zuo Liangyu looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"The problem is not that he can kill whoever he wants, but that he can kill whoever he wants, and if he has killed someone, the court has to pinch his nose and admit it, who is he? Imperial clan? General? Wrong, he is Cao Cao, who may usurp the throne and seize power at any time, who is his father? is the minister of the imperial court, this is the thorn in his side! ”
Zuo Liangyu, who is quite self-aware, thought about it, shook his head and said.
"Wuchang is not a long-term place, pass the order, and when we get to Wuchang, let's take Yuezhou all the way, take Yuanzhou all the way to Jiangxi, in short, we must find a way to avoid him."
Looking at his father's cautious appearance, Zuo Mengeng couldn't understand what was wrong with his father, why did he suddenly become so timid. Although he couldn't figure it out, he always needed to obey what his father meant.
"Hopefully, hopefully, I won't run into that god-killing ......"
When Zuo Liangyu muttered in his heart, he didn't know that in the east of Jiujiang City, a team of more than 100 horsemen and horses was rushing towards Jiujiang.
Jiangnan is indeed very rich, even if it is an ordinary Jiangnan village and town, the streets are paved with stones, and the residual paint on the people's gates, the houses are basically brick buildings, these are not seen in Shandong. At most, Liaodong can be compared with here, but compared with these white-walled and gray-tiled buildings here, the small courtyard of the three-room brick main house in Liaodong, even if it is newly built, looks like a dilapidated house.
But when the group came to a place two or three miles away from the city, there was another world in front of them. Thatched hut after hut lined up so densely packed that you never saw the end. The owner of the shack sat at the door, staring blankly at the officers and soldiers who had passed by.
These officers and soldiers were wearing the armor of the Ming Dynasty officials, and the people looked at them with dull eyes. Finally, as they approached the city walls, they passed through a market. It's just that this bazaar does not sell rice, flour, meat and fish, but another kind of goods - people!
Living people!
Two taels for boys, one tael for girls, three taels for strong men, two halves for women, and three taels for girls.
If you're a big buyer, the traffickers will also give you a discount.
These living people are displayed there like animals, at the mercy of people. With a rope around their necks, they did not resist, nor did they mean to resist, they were numb like walking corpses, and only when the biting cold wind blew on their bodies, making them tremble, they knew that they were alive.
"Is this the human market?"
Although the so-called "human market" has been seen countless times in history books and official documents, this is the first time Zhu Guoqiang has seen the real human market.
"Selling people on the street, doesn't the government of Jiujiang care?"
Zhang Dele, who was leading the way on the side, glanced at the prince in surprise, and then said softly.
"Lord Shizi, the person who sold in the city of this person is a rogue, a rogue, who was captured by the Zuo family's marching war, and said that he was a rogue, but in fact, many of them were good people who were plundered. If someone buys them, they will live as slaves and slaves. If you can't find a buyer in the end, the traffickers will kill the weak ones and shave their bones and sell them for meat, no matter what, they won't lose money......"
Zhang Dele's words, Zhu Guoqiang only felt a little creepy. His hands clenched the reins violently and snorted coldly.
"So, this people's market is opened by the Zuo family?"
"The human market is opened by human traffickers, but there is no Zuo family, so can you buy people so openly, without the Zuo family, how many people let human traffickers sell?"
After listening to Zhang Dele's words, Zhu Guoqiang's heart sank, and his eyes became more and more cold.
He never believed in the so-called "way for heaven" of the rogues. In the Ming Dynasty, the intelligence obtained from all sides also told him that the most serious damage to the people was precisely those rogues and robbers who were in the name of "doing the right thing for heaven". No matter how corrupt the military discipline of the officers and soldiers is, at least it will be restrained in the city or in front of the main general. This is not the case with the rogues, who have no military discipline at all. Many of them became outlaws in order to rob the weak.
But Zuo Liangyu's official army ...... Military discipline is corrupt, and the simplicity is outrageous! Even as early as Henan, not to mention the merits of killing the good, the looting was even far worse than the thief. So that compared to him, Li Zicheng became a righteous army, so how can he not be defeated, in Henan he was defeated again and again, fled from Xiangyang to Wuchang, asked the king of Chu to ask for soldiers, after asking for food and salary, that is, the army plundered Wuchang Cao grain and salt. Then after arriving in Jiujiang, he had 200,000 troops and waited and saw for self-protection.
Later, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Wuchang, and the imperial court strictly ordered troops to send troops, only to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, who had an unstable foothold, and recover Hanyang. But even so, it was necessary to wait until Zhang Xianzhong entered Shu before he dared to send troops to recover Wuchang.
His eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at Jiujiang City in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang thought to himself. Glamorous e-books
The thief comes and I go, and the thief goes and I come.
This is Zuo Liangyu, the "flat thief general" of the Ming Dynasty!
Finally, the group entered Jiujiang City, because they had already sent people to spread the word, so there was no one to stop them along the way, but there were generals at the gate of the city to greet and ask.
"The person who came is Zhu Shenjun under the command of General Pingyu?"
"It's Zhu, and the general is tired."
Zhu Guoqiang, who was wearing a Confucian robe, nodded and said, this time he came to Jiujiang City under a pseudonym, and he didn't know it without a pseudonym.
People are names, trees are shadows.
For the outside world, who is Zhu Ciying, the general of Pingyu?
Kill the gods!
Kill the generals!
Kill the official and take the city!
This kind of thing has been done more than once or twice, and now to be honest, Zhu Guoqiang himself knows that if Zuo Liangyu knew that he had come to Jiujiang, he would definitely say that he was on the front line and not in the city for the first time, and it would be strange if he dared to show his head.
Yes, you don't dare to see me, I dare to see you, so when the fleet was hiding in the reeds by the river during the day, he directly led more than 100 guards to "kill" Jiujiang City directly.
Zhang Xianzhong has four or five hundred thousand horses.
Even if Zhu Guoqiang trusts him to be big, he will not use his 20,000 horses to directly fight hard, and it is true that the army will directly attack Yuezhou, but the key is that if you want to settle the situation in a battle, you have to attract Zhang Xianzhong.
Who is suitable to be this bait?
That's the only one that starts with "The thief comes, I go, the thief goes, I come." The famous "General of the Flat Thief".
But if you want Zuo Liangyu to shake this flag, how can it be so easy to be that bait, will he obey his military orders?
It is precisely because of such worries that Zhu Guoqiang will join the army under his command under the name of himself and come to Jiujiang to persuade Zuo Liangyu in person.
Zuo Liangyu's marshal mansion is located in Jiujiang City, which was originally owned by wealthy merchants in the city, and after Zuo Liangyu fled to Jiujiang, he took it as his own. When Zhu Guoqiang and his entourage rushed towards his marshal's mansion, it was quite lively in the marshal's mansion.
"General Pingyu has sent his troops over!"
If this news were to be replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it would not cause any repercussions in the Shuaifu, just a matter of joining the army.
But the problem is that the people who sent the army here are not ordinary!
General Pingyu!
"No, he's coming too fast! I haven't heard of it! ”
Ma Jinzhong wondered.
"Yes, I haven't heard that the general is coming, why did you send the army first?"
Ma Shixiu also had some doubts, as the two generals under his command, they have always won his trust.
"Whatever, let's see what he says."
Zuo Mengeng snorted, and then said.
"Daddy. When I see him for a while, I will give him a dismount first, and then say, the general of Pingyu is big, but his father is also the "general of the Pingjiao" sealed by the imperial court, if he doesn't beat him to kill him, maybe they will really be bullied to the head. ”
"What the eldest prince said is very true, handsome."
Someone on the side immediately agreed.
"It's just a soldier!"
