"Adjutant General Ma, what should we do?"

Before Zuo Liangyu left, Ma Shixiu was specially appointed as the main general of the battalion, and now seeing the situation outside the camp, Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying and others were all a little panicked.

"Can't open the door!" , Ma Shixiu shouted eagerly: "With the army in hand, we can save our lives, if we open the door, we won't let them handle it." ”

"Everyone go to each battalion to reorganize the army, we must hold on, as long as we can hold on, even the superintendent can only bow his head when the time comes!"

Zuo Liangyu's army is now in chaos, Ma Shixiu's words undoubtedly calmed everyone down a lot, everyone has a herd mentality, seeing that someone came forward to preside over the situation, a group of generals all returned to the camp to rectify the soldiers and horses.

Cao Bianjiao waited outside the camp for about a stick of incense, and saw that there was no movement in Zuo Liangyu's camp, and finally turned around and hit the horse back into the formation.

"It seems that Ma Shixiu and they don't plan to surrender", seeing Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai, Cao Bianjiao sighed.

Zheng Jingcai sneered: "The mantis arm is just a car, since this is the case, it can only be hard-hitting, so that the world can know who is the main force in the official army." ”

Shao Derong laughed on the spot: "Hahaha, then let's take a look at your fireworks show first." ”

Several generals talked and laughed and settled the matter, and then the soldiers in Zuo Liangyu's army immediately saw a scene that frightened them.

Hundreds of artillery pieces with wheels streamed out of the large array of officers and soldiers outside the battalion, and directly lined up in front of the large array.

"Boom", "Boom"

Bursts of thick white smoke rose from the battlefield, and the sharp sound of cannonballs whistled towards Zuo Liangyu's camp.

"Click"

The solid wooden camp wall of Zuo Liangyu's camp responded to the impact of the cannonballs, and the remaining shells penetrated the camp wall and directly brought countless blood marks in the camp tent.

"Mother!"

Zuo Liangyu's army was originally mostly recruits, and in the past few months, they have bullied the people in the Huguang area, and it was easy to loot materials, but when they faced the elite of Cao Bianjiao and other departments, they directly showed their true colors.

In the camp of the left army, the fierce artillery fire turned the entire camp into a pot of porridge, and the sound of cries and moans made the orders of Ma Shixiu and other generals seem so pale and weak.

In the face of such a chaotic situation, Ma Shixiu and the others also panicked all of a sudden.

Suddenly, the deafening sound of artillery fire between heaven and earth suddenly stopped, and the world seemed to be quiet again.

However, Ma Shixiu and the others were even more frightened, they were all veterans of the battlefield, how could everyone not know that the enemy was estimated to rush up after the shelling.

"Charge!"

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Sure enough, a burst of sky-high shouts suddenly sounded outside the camp of the left army, followed by the sound of tens of thousands of cavalry stepping on the ground, and the entire camp of the left army trembled in the galloping of ten thousand horses.

"I surrender, I surrender, woo woo woo ......"

The cavalry of Cao Bianjiao and others swarmed along the broken wall of the camp, and the already panicked camp collapsed in an instant.

"Surrender or kill!"

The camp was full of cheers and shouts from the officers and soldiers under Liu Ximing's command, and after an hour of effort, the entire camp of Zuo Liangyu surrendered.

In Wuchang City, hearing the earth-shattering cheers outside the city, Zuo Liangyu, who was pressed to the ground, was like ashes.

Not only him, but a group of officials in Huguang who were not shocked.

Who would have thought that Liu Ximing would dare to forcibly clean up Zuo Liangyu, which was twice his size, with only 60,000 soldiers and horses from Cao Bianjiao and others, and the key was that it was done!

Thinking that back then, even Yang Sichang, Ding Qirui and others could only swallow their anger at these military leaders, and the Huguang officials led by He Tengjiao suddenly looked at Liu Ximing with more respectful eyes.

is worthy of being a big guy who can serve as a secondary assistant, and he can't be provoked.

"Report to the superintendent, the entire Zuo Liangyu battalion outside the city has surrendered, and the deputy general of the left battalion, Ma Shixiu, and others have been captured."

In the governor's yamen, as Li Biao and other guards quickly came back to report after confirming the situation outside the city, everything had been settled.

The Lord sat down, and Liu Ximing's gaze flashed at Zuo Liangyu.

From the perspective of the overall situation, people like Zuo Liangyu are typical moths, if he can't be eliminated, then he can't talk about any prestige, and his hundreds of thousands of horses outside the city also make Liu Ximing a little coveted.

Thinking of this, Liu Ximing finally made up his mind.

"Zuo Liangyu, a rebel minister, has no record of success, and has no way to lead the troops, disrupting the official army in Henan, and running away first is a crime. Garrison Wuchang, named Guard, is for secession and for crime two. ”

"Such a big crime, not punishing is not enough to be angry with the people, since Your Majesty has given me the sword of Shang Fang and the banner of the king's order, this time this pavilion will correct this fang and correct the hearts of the people in the world!"

"Someone, take Zuo Liangyu down to be detained, and announce to the people of the city tomorrow that he will be beheaded in front of the drum tower outside Fuyuan Street!"

"The cabinet spares his life, the cabinet spares his life, Zuo is guilty, I have no credit and hard work for so many years......"

Zuo Liangyu was dragged up by a group of guards and walked out, so frightened that he burst into tears and cried out in panic.

This situation even tarnished the horrified faces of the officials in the main hall.

A dignified chief military officer, the governor of the five armies, Liu Ximing said that he would kill him, and his power was so heavy.

He Tengjiao was the first to react, and when he saw that Zuo Liangyu had been dragged out, he immediately stood up and clapped his hands and laughed.

"Hahaha, good, the cabinet has good means, this thief has soldiers in his hands, and he has never taken us and other court officials in his eyes, but now the cabinet will correct the law, which is very happy."

"It's extreme, it's extreme, and sure enough, the cabinet department has a way."

"Your Majesty is not wrong."

……

Liu Ximing listened to the officials blowing rainbow farts, and only after a long time did he smile indifferently:

"Since this cabinet is ordered by the emperor to supervise the teacher, it is naturally fearless, and before coming here, this cabinet has suggested to His Majesty that it is necessary to implement the reform of official governance in the Central Plains, and only by stabilizing Henan, Huguang and other places can we create a foundation for the annihilation of the Liukou."

After speaking, Liu Ximing glanced at the hall one by one, and asked with a majestic face: "I have made up my mind on this matter, who is against it, and who is in favor of it?" ”

He Tengjiao and the others were stunned by Liu Ximing's heart, and they didn't even ask how Liu Ximing planned to reform, and directly stood up and saluted loudly, "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the cabinet." ”

"Okay", Liu Ximing raised his eyebrows and said with great joy.

Why did he clean up Zuo Liangyu as soon as he entered the city, and put away this unruly military leader on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to carry this prestige to force Huguang to agree to reform.

As soon as the reform of this official is completed, they will no longer be able to call the shots.

On the fourth day of the first month of September, at the entrance of Fuyuan Street in Wuchang City.

A high execution platform was temporarily erected, and the few people in Wuchang City flocked to it, and at Liu Xi's order, the executioner with a meaty face raised his knife and fell.

A generation of warlord Zuo Liangyu died and was wiped out.

~~~

Three days later, in the Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a great event, a great event."

Wang Chengen trotted all the way into the Qianqing Palace, and kept laughing softly with the fold in his hand.

"It's rare to see you like this, but is there any good news in the Central Plains?"

Chongzhen on the throne also seemed to be infected by Wang Chengen's cheerful tone, and his tone of voice became softer.

"Your Majesty Shengming", Wang Chengen smiled and walked to the throne and handed over the excerpt, "Liu Ge Lao sent the excerpt from Huguang, he refused to enter Nanyang in August, and arrived in Wuchang a few days ago, the emperor often scolded the general soldier Zuo Liangyu, who was arrested and imprisoned by Liu Ge Lao on the same day, and directly asked in front of the drum tower. ”

Chongzhen was shocked, the brush in his hand shook suddenly, and a drop of ink stained the copywriting under his hand.

"Quick, show me quickly", Chongzhen eagerly took the song over, and asked worriedly: "Why don't I want to punish the left thief, but I am afraid that he is strong and strong, and the court depends on him, Xin Anbo should not poke me out of a big basket." ”

Shaoqing, when Chongzhen read that Liu Ximing killed Zuo Liangyu and collected his army, he was relieved.

"Hahaha, it's really good news, rampant lawlessness, contempt for the court, it's best to behead this fang, and let the world see the majesty of the court."

Chongzhen laughed loudly with his hands and folds, as if he had never been so happy.

Last month, Liu Ximing reported the great victory in Henan, and he was happy once, but compared with this incident, that victory seems to be not worth mentioning.

In Chongzhen's opinion, after cleaning up Zuo Liangyu, Liu Ximing can concentrate on conquering the Liukou without worrying about someone pulling back, how is this not worth being happy about.
