In the afternoon, Zuo Liangyu, under the leadership of Li Biao and others, came straight to Wuchang City from the army.

However, this guy was also afraid that Liu Ximing would take him under the knife, and he even brought a thousand guards with him when he left the camp.

Li Biao saw all this in his eyes, but there was no reaction on his face, just urged Zuo Liangyu to enter the city.

His move made Zuo Liangyu settle down, if Liu Ximing really wanted to take a knife on himself, he probably wouldn't agree to bring so many people into the city.

Liu Ximing and others had already temporarily settled in the Huguang Governor's Yamen at this time, and Zuo Liangyu traveled all the way and found that there were not many soldiers and horses near the Governor's Yamen, and his heart became more and more calm.

It seems that this Inspector Liu has not wanted to tear his face with himself, and Zuo Liangyu is secretly proud in his heart.

Speaking of which, now that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others are powerful, the imperial court has to rely on a general like himself if he wants to exterminate the thieves, so it's a big deal to lower his attitude later.

With such a thought, Zuo Liangyu followed Li Biao and strode into the gate of the governor's yamen.

However, there were some hiccups when entering the gate.

"Stop, in front of the superintendent's tent, except for General Zuo, the rest of the idle people are only allowed to wait outside."

In front of the Governor's Yamen, Wu Demeng, the deputy general of the guard battalion who was in charge of guarding the door, stopped the soldiers who wanted to follow Zuo Liangyu into the door with a serious face.

Zuo Liangyu's heart sank, and he arched his hand at the young general in front of him: "These are my personal guards, please be accommodating." ”

Wu Demeng stood upright, hugged his fists towards Zuo Liangyu and said: "Where the duty is, please forgive the general, my family supervisor is the second assistant of the imperial court, how can I allow others to be rude in front of me." ”

Zuo Liangyu bit his lip and looked at Li Biao, who was in charge of leading the way, but saw him turn his head and smiled: "Why, does General Zuo still have to bring swords and soldiers when he meets Shangguan, where is the face of the imperial court?" ”

At the gate of the governor's yamen, Zuo Liangyu stopped thinking for a few minutes, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates: "You are waiting outside the door, don't be rude." ”

After speaking, Zuo Liangyu glanced at his personal guard, turned around and followed Li Biao into the hospital.

In the main hall of the Governor's Palace, Liu Ximing had already taken a group of Huguang officials such as Kong Deyao and He Tengjiao, who were the supervisors, to set up a posture here.

Hearing that the guards came in and prepared to talk about Zuo Liangyu's performance at the gate, Liu Ximing snorted coldly and sneered at He Tengjiao:

"I don't want this fang to be rampant, Brother Yun Cong was ordered to raise the army, how could he condone him to be so virtuous?"

He Tengjiao sat in the position of Liu Ximing's lower left hand, and said with a look of shame when he heard this:

"The lower officials are incompetent, it is really that Huguang has been plundered, and there are no soldiers in the province to rely on, so they have to rely on this person to protect the territory and the people."

Liu Ximing snorted coldly again, "You wait and sit down, this pavilion wants to see how he protects the territory and the people today." ”

A group of Huguang officials sitting here were all shocked, looking at Liu Ximing's appearance, could it be that he wanted to take Zuo Liangyu to do it?

It's miserable, it's miserable, and all the officials scolded in their hearts.

This Zuo Liangyu still has 120,000 troops stationed outside the city, and when the time comes, the war will be together, but don't affect Huguang.

At the gate of the main hall, Zuo Liangyu looked at the heavily armed superintendents in the courtyard, and walked into the main hall with his chest raised and his head held up calmly.

"The last general, Zuo Liangyu, visited the overseer."

Above the main hall, Liu Ximing looked at Zuo Liangyu with a smile.

"General Zuo is so majestic, this pavilion was ordered by Qin to supervise the Central Plains, don't you even pay a visit, not to mention that we are still old people."

Zuo Liangyu saw that Liu Ximing's tone was calm, and he immediately became bolder, he did not kowtow when he saw Liu Ximing like ordinary generals, but bowed down and stood solemnly at the door.

"Please also ask the superintendent to forgive the sins", Zuo Liangyu said with a smile on his face: "The last general occasionally feels cold, otherwise he will definitely come to greet him in person, and he will personally set up a banquet to apologize to the superintendent when he returns." ”

Liu Ximing waved his hand and sat upright and said: "Forget it, this pavilion asks you, why did you abandon the army first in Zhuxian Town that day, and forget it, you still dare to snatch the baggage of the army, who gave you this guts?" ”

"This ......", Zuo Liangyu's heart was suddenly shocked, and his face was full of horror.

This Liu Ximing actually wants to cut himself, isn't he afraid of the 100,000 army outside the city?

"Supervisor, please listen to the words of the last general, at that time, all of them in Zhuxian Town were ...... because Ding Qirui had no way to lead the troops."

"There is no need to say more", Liu Ximing in the main hall shouted, "You still dare to quibble, today this pavilion will take you to correct the law and correct the atmosphere of the world." ”

"Come on, take this fang!"

Dozens of heavily armed Angzang men suddenly poured out of the main hall of the governor's yamen, and a pounce directly threw Zuo Liangyu to the ground and held him down.

"Liu Ximing, how dare you take the national general, aren't you afraid of my army outside the city?"

Zuo Liangyu was finally anxious at this time, he turned around and wanted to leave but was caught by the ambush soldiers, and immediately shouted hysterically while struggling hard.

Liu Ximing ignored the frightened eyes of the Huguang officials on the side, and sneered at Zuo Liangyu:

"This pavilion came by the emperor's order, and those who are not allowed to give orders in the local civil and military forces can be decided with Shang Fang's sword, how can there be any unauthorized arrest, as for your army, hum, can you see Cao Bianjiao and their figures?"

Zuo Liangyu looked around at everyone in the hall, and sure enough, he didn't see Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and others, and his face immediately turned to ashes.

"Ge Lao, the last general has been wronged, and I also ask Ge Lao Nian to spare the last general's life for the sake of acquaintance."

~~~

Outside the yamen of the governor's palace, a thousand personal soldiers led by Zuo Liangyu densely blocked the alley at the entrance of the yamen, and the leader of his personal soldiers looked at the door with a blank face in front of the stone steps of the yamen.

Suddenly, a strange bird cry came from the courtyard of the governor's yamen, and dozens of guards who were standing guard at the gate with expressionless faces immediately rushed into the governor's palace at once.

Immediately after, the door of the Governor's Palace creaked shut.

Before Zuo Liangyu's group of soldiers could react, they found that hundreds of figures suddenly appeared on the wall of the Governor's Mansion and in the courtyard of the alley opposite.

These men all had muskets in their hands, and they pulled the trigger almost at the same time as they appeared.

"Bang", "Bang"

"Hit the mark!" Before Zuo Liangyu's pro-soldier leader could exclaim, he heard dense footsteps from both sides of the alley.

"Shoot!"

"Bang", "Bang"

At both ends of the alley of the governor's yamen, hundreds of soldiers with guns swarmed in, and with the cooperation of the robes above the courtyard wall, they burst into the alley.

The alley in front of the governor's palace was suddenly full of blood.

Near Zuo Liangyu's army outside Wuchang City, not long after Zuo Liangyu followed Li Biao into the city with his personal guards, Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and others appeared outside Zuo Liangyu's camp with a large army.

Tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded Zuo Liangyu's camp layer by layer, and Ma Shixiu and other Zuo Liangyu's lieutenant generals suddenly panicked.

"Close the camp gates!"

Fortunately, when Zuo Liangyu left, he had already ordered Ma Shixiu and others to stick to the camp, and when he saw other soldiers and horses coming, the whole camp reacted quite quickly, and slammed it shut before Cao Bianjiao's cavalry seized the gate.

A group of deputy generals of the left army hurriedly climbed up the wall to look at the tower, but saw three generals in the army outside the camp wearing bright light armor and phoenix-winged helmets riding horses and standing in front of the formation, but it was not Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai.

These people are among the best in the Ming Army, how can Ma Shixiu and others not know each other.

Looking upstairs, Ma Shixiu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and shouted loudly:

"But Mr. Cao, Mr. Shao and Mr. Zheng face to face? Ma Shixiu, the deputy general of the last general left, my general went to the city to pay homage to the superintendent, why did you surround our army? ”

Cao Bianjiao took a few steps forward and stopped outside the range of the bows and muskets of the left army.

He laughed and shouted into the camp: "On the orders of the prince and the prince, the scholar of the Jianji Palace, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the assistant minister Liu Gelao, Zuo Liangyu has been misbehaving and privately accumulating soldiers and horses, and has been taken down by the superintendent, and Lang Er and others are forced to obey, now immediately open the camp gate and hand over the military power, and you can spare your life, otherwise if my army moves, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

"Chickens and dogs don't stay!"

Outside Zuo Liangyu's camp, tens of thousands of soldiers waved their flags and all roared violently.
