Chapter 141: Evenly matched

After Wu Zhenchang attacked and killed Zhu Bojiu, he quickly took control of Liyang with 3,000 men and horses from his cronies Zhenyi Battalion and captured and killed Liyang officials.

The soldiers and horses in Liyang City were accustomed to doing business, and they were negligent in training, and they were not at all the opponents of the Zhenyi Battalion who had just won the battle.

Han Ruling saw that the general trend was gone, so he went to grab Zhong Zhiming and went straight to the pier to board the boat and escaped.

Zhong Zhiming saw the light of day again, asked for a glass of wine on the boat and poured it into the river: "I, Zhong Zhiming, will not die in a catastrophe, and I will be ashamed to escape this time!" ”

Han Ruling was afraid of attracting the pursuers and hurriedly pulled Zhong Zhiming into the cabin: "General Zhong, now that Wu Zhenchang has rebelled, should we go back to Xinli or go to Lingnan along the big river?" ”

Zhong Zhiming didn't want to go to Xinli to be guarded again, so he made up his mind to go to Lingnan.

Unexpectedly, someone outside crawled in: "Oh no, we are surrounded!" ”

I could only hear the shouts outside: "Stop the boat and dock!" Everyone come out, otherwise our Yunzi Camp will release arrows! ”

"Stop!"

Hearing that it was the Yunzi Battalion, Han Ruling breathed a sigh of relief: "General Zhong, let's go out and go back to Xinli first!" It's better than in Liyang! ”

Zhong Zhiming had to follow Han Ruling out of the cabin, and several warships surrounded them, and at the same time shot a lot of rockets towards Liyang Pier.

Liyang Wharf suddenly caught fire, and when Wu Zhenchang's people arrived at the wharf, there were no boats available.

Zhong Zhiming and Han Ruling were asked to disembark and take them to see the guard Ling Yun.

Xinli guard general Ling Yun is a female general, who was originally the leader of thieves in the Juye area, but was later chased by Zhong Zhiming, and he voted for Zhu Yaoshi in desperation.

Zhong Zhiming didn't know that the guard would be Ling Yun, so he followed the soldiers to see Ling Yun. The two looked at each other, Zhong Zhiming secretly screamed bitterly, and Ling Yun sneered twice: "General Zhong is really loyal, and he still chases me today!" ”

Han Ruling wanted to explain, but Ling Yun glared at him: "You were sent by Wu Zhenchang to make the bitter meat trick earn me Xinli City!" Or pull it down and cut it to save trouble! ”

Zhong Zhiming closed his eyes and remained silent, Han Ruling shook his head: "General Ling is so confused, this Wu Zhenchang was originally going to take the position of General Zhong, so he made such a fuss!" There is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, if General Zhong sees Wu Zhenchang, can there still be a way to live? ”

"It's hard to say, in this world, is there anything that can't be traded? This Wu Zhenchang is still a model of loyalty that the emperor has personally rewarded, and now it has only been a few days! I think the people who read books in this world are really unreliable! This General Zhong is also a loyal minister of the previous dynasty, why do you want to be the marshal of this dynasty now, haha, interesting! ”

"I have never surrendered, your emperor wants to appoint me, that's his business, I was originally going back to Lingnan, you got me off the ship, I'm just meat on your board now, you can cut it however you want! Just don't compare me to Wu Zhenchang! ”

Ling Yun slapped the table, ready to get angry, the soldier next to him hurriedly came over and said a few words, Ling Yun slowly put down his hand again: "Take them down to take care of them first, just don't freeze and starve!" ”

Zhong Zhiming looked at Han Ruling helplessly: "I have also affected you today, I am used to being locked up, it is nothing more than another year!" ”

Han Ruling was relieved: "Where does General Zhong say, it's better here than being killed in Liyang!" I intended to save the general, but I saved myself. I also have to thank the general! ”

Seeing that the two of them were polite, Ling Yun didn't put himself in his eyes at all, so he coughed: "The lives of the two of you are in my hands, don't be too presumptuous!" ”

Zhong Zhiming and Han Ruling looked at each other and smiled, and then followed a few soldiers out, leaving only Ling Yun and the army in the hall.

Joined the army and complained that Ling Yun shouldn't treat these two people like this: "This Zhong Zhiming is the marshal of the emperor's decree, and Han Ruling is also the captain of Liyang, why should the general offend them?" What's more, Wu Zhenchang has rebelled, the emperor will definitely send troops to conscript, maybe this Zhong Zhiming will be the marshal at that time, if the general becomes his subordinate, how can he deal with himself at that time? ”

"This Zhong Zhiming, the emperor will not use it, he was a captured general of the former dynasty, and now he has forced more than 200,000 troops to rebel because he was named a marshal. That Han Ruling is just a general, and now that he has lost Liyang and the army and ran out by himself, he will not be reused! Ling Yun felt that these two were useless, so he sneered at them

"Has General Ling ever thought about his status in the emperor's mind? Today's court is actually unavailable, and the emperor is suspicious and suspicious. Wu Zhenchang refused to let Zhong Zhiming go out and rebelled, did the general lock up Zhong Zhiming because he wanted the emperor to think that you and Wu Zhenchang were the same party? The reminder to join the army came in time, and Ling Yun immediately realized that he had made a mistake.

"Quickly invite the two of them into the post house to entertain them with the best meals, and don't slack off!" Ling Yun hurriedly called his personal maid in and commanded.

At this time, Li Xiaofei and Zheng Yuanhe also rushed to Xinli City. Li Xiaofei took a closer look at the inside and outside of this Xinli City, and the wicker that was inserted outside the south gate now has the thickness of an arm.

"This tree grows so fast, I can't imagine that the world is even more chaotic now!" Li Xiaofei sighed at the rows of willow trees

"Lord Li is so interested, and he is still in the mood to look at the trees, we still have a heavy burden on our bodies!" Zheng Yuanhe had a sad face all the way, he originally wanted to make a name for himself by recommending Li Xiaofei, and he didn't want Pharmacist Zhu to give him a way to do things if anyone had an idea.

Originally, he was an idle official in Jinling City, but now he has to go to the front line closest to the enemy. Even if Li Xiaofei didn't think that he could find a chance to sneak back after coming out, he wouldn't want to go to Liyang.

Ling Yun had heard of Li Xiaofei for a long time, but she, who was born as a robber, regarded the word loyalty as extremely important. Li Xiaofei sent Jinling to reach out to Pharmacist Zhu to ask for an official, and Ling Yun knew about it and said that Li Xiaofei was extremely shameless.

In Ling Yun's opinion, this Li Xiaofei's temperament is not humiliating at all, and he must be a slave who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Although he received a secret report from Jinling this time, Ling Yun still wanted to trick Li Xiaofei.

When Li Xiaofei entered the city, Ling Yun was dressed in military uniform and greeted the captains of each team at the south gate of Xinli.

Li Xiaofei dismounted to say hello, and Ling Yun and the others did not salute with their armor, but just led Li Xiaofei the way.

Along the way, Ling Yun deliberately asked Li Xiaofei: "Lord Li, I heard that there were a few eunuchs around Emperor Ming who would rather die than surrender, and jumped from the city wall and fell to their deaths, but is there such a thing?" ”

"There is indeed such a thing, Emperor Ming treats people generously, and loyal and righteous people are naturally martyred for him"

"Then why did Master Li become the official of this dynasty? Could it be the unfaithful and unrighteous? ”

Ling Yun has big eyes and a big nose, and his face is round, if it weren't for his thin voice, he would have thought he was a man.

Li Xiaofei knew that Ling Yun was ridiculing him, so he laughed: "I have received the great favor of Emperor Ming, I can't die as soon as I die, and I have to keep this pariah to repay Emperor Ming in the future!" ”

"As an official of this dynasty, how to repay the emperor of the previous dynasty? Could it be that Lord Li is going to betray this dynasty again? Ling Yun looked at Li Xiaofei with a double-plate axe

"To repay Emperor Ming, it is not to raise troops to rebel, but to realize the ideals of Emperor Ming during his lifetime, and to return the people of the world to peace, everyone has land, clothing, hunger, hunger, and freezing! Does the general think that only killing is loyalty to the country? Li Xiaofei became serious at this time

Zheng Yuanhe was afraid that the two of them would lose harmony and cause trouble, so he became a peacemaker: "Lord Li, General Ling, we are all working for the emperor, why bother with-for-tat, the past has passed." Let's think about how to deal with the current situation! ”

Ling Yun sneered: "With a celebrity like Master Li, who has been an official in several dynasties, what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Xiaofei thought that good men would not fight with women, so he continued to smile and said: "It's okay, General Ling guards Xinli City, let's discuss with Marshal Zhong again."

"Lord Li and Marshal Zhong are really a perfect match, haha, towards Qin and Duchu, they are in love!" Ling Yun continued to taunt Li Xiaofei

"It seems that General Ling has a deep prejudice against us, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to live in peace in this Xinli City, Lord Zheng" Li Xiaofei looked at Zheng Yuanhe

Zheng Yuanhe was sweating on his head: "It's all a misunderstanding, this Wu Zhenchang has already rebelled, let's not make a mess again, we still have to work together to help each other."

Ling Yun felt that he had failed to provoke Li Xiaofei after saying so much, and he was also a little disappointed, so he slammed the two plate axes, so frightened that Zheng Yuanhe almost fell.

"General Ling has something to say, something to say!"

"Haha, the little woman just asked these two board axes to help each other in harmony, and the adults were scared like this" As she spoke, Ling Yun secretly looked at Li Xiaofei's reaction

Li Xiaofei looked calm: "General Ling is a woman, but she uses two board axes, I really admire it!" ”

"Who says a woman can't use an axe as a weapon? If I had met you in the early years, I was afraid that I would have given you away."

Joining the army pulled Ling Yun, and Ling Yun swallowed the words back

"If you met me in the early years, you would definitely take me as an apprentice, right? Hahahahaha, it seems that Li is too late! ”

Li Xiaofei would play a round game, and everyone should laugh in harmony.

When a few people arrived at Lingyun's mansion, they invited Zhong Zhiming, and Li Xiaofei hugged Zhong Zhiming as soon as he saw him: "Brother Zhong, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have suffered!" ”

"Xiaofei, why are you here, aren't you?"

Zhong Zhiming thought that Li Xiaofei was also captured and released, and couldn't help but burst into tears

"It's a long story, Brother Zhong, today you are the marshal of Daliang again! Congratulations! ”

Li Xiaofei pulled a few people to kneel down together, Zheng Yuanhe announced the decree, although Zhong Zhiming had long heard that he was used by Zhu Yaoshi, but he didn't really get the official will until this moment.

"Marshal Zhong, why aren't you grateful?" Zheng Yuanhe looked at Zhong Zhiming

Zhong Zhiming sighed: "I haven't surrendered yet, so I'll be an official of the new dynasty, this ......"

"Brother Zhong, no one forced you to surrender, let you be the marshal, it is up to you to recover Hebei from the Mobei people!" Li Xiaofei persuaded

"Do it as freely as Lord Li, don't think nonsense, Lord Li has become a deputy marshal, why can't you be a marshal?" Ling Yun came to provoke Zhong Zhiming again

"General Ling, it was Zhong who offended you in the first place, so don't even sneer at Xiao Fei."

"No, Brother Zhong, what he said makes sense. The Liang Kingdom controlled by the family in the past is no longer there, and even the family itself has been smashed to pieces, who are you still celebrating the festival for? ”

Han Ruling also persuaded on the side: "Thank you, as long as we drive away the Mobei people and recover Hebei one day, it will be regarded as a great achievement!" ”

Zhong Zhiming lowered his head and closed his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

Here, Wu Zhenchang defeated Liyang and threatened to Qingjun's side, and Liu Jiancai in the west worshiped Zhuge Wuhou thinking that he could be blessed. Unexpectedly, a messenger from Badong reported: "Yizhou assassin Shi Luoxian died, and Shuzhong was in chaos!" ”

On the Bashu side, Luo Xian was the assassin of Yizhou, Luo Xian folded the navy and fled back to Chengdu, drinking and beating the slaves' wives and concubines day and night.

The slaves couldn't bear it, so they murdered Luo Xian, Luo Xian died, Shuzhong was in chaos, and the county guards all called themselves Yizhou Assassins.

Only Tan Banshan, the Taishou of Ba County, and Gan Zijing, the Taishou of Badong, were loyal to their duties, and they quickly sent their cronies to Xiangyang to report to the imperial court.

Originally, Liu Jian had learned of Wu Zhenchang's rebellion, thinking that he had the opportunity to go east or north. As a result, there was chaos in his backyard, so going to Bashu to quell the rebellion has become the most important thing at present!
