Chapter 697: Heart-piercing knife and golden thigh
People always have to go through setbacks in order to grow.
In particular, if you often walk on the edge of the cliff, if you are not careful, there will be no bones, and this kind of growth is even more amazing.
At this time, looking at the white and delicate little girl in front of her, Zhu Cihong not only did not feel a trace of shame, but ...... There are some indescribable down-to-earth ......
He stretched out a finger and put it in the palm of the little girl's hand, and the little girl suddenly subconsciously grabbed his finger and looked at him with curiosity.
This made Zhu Cihong feel better, thought about it for a while, hurriedly took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, carefully placed it under the swaddling clothes of the little girl, and whispered: "Little girl, my brother saw you for the first time, and I didn't prepare any good gifts for you, so let's give this jade pendant first." But don't worry, my brother will make it up to you when he gets back. In the future, you must be healthy and happy every day. Even if you want the moon in the sky, my brother will help you take it off......"
Here, Queen Zhou had already been helped to the door, and the two palace maids were about to help her in, but she waved her hand and couldn't bear to disturb this scene.
After watching it for a while, Zhu Cihong almost regarded Xiao Nannan as the object of confiding, and Queen Zhou's pretty face, which had been tense, was finally really relieved.
Her son has finally grown up and knows how to recognize reality and judge the situation.
With Xiao Nannan, coupled with Zhu Yujiao, it is undoubtedly a 'double insurance', at least, even if there is a big change in the future, their family can have a certain choice.
……
It is different from Nanjing, which was ignited and brought back to life.
At this time, Wuchang City was cloudy, everywhere was full of solemn atmosphere, the originally prosperous city has been completely reduced to military management, there are almost no ordinary people on the streets, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere.
Many street corners have a lot of blood stains that have not been cleared, and they are emitting a foul smell, causing many flies to buzz and fly.
Wuchang City Official Hall.
Zuo Liangyu, who had just been canonized as 'Ningnan Hou' by the imperial court, was discussing military affairs with Qiu Lei, Jin Shenghuan, Zuo Mengeng and other generals.
At this time, Li Zicheng had completely secured Xiangyang City, and while guarding against the Qing army in Guanzhong, he also sent the general Yuan Zongdi to attack Jiangling.
Although the Ming court appointed He Tengjiao as the new governor of Huguang not long ago, stationed on the front line of Jiangling, He Tengjiao has been disgraced by Zhang Xianzhong in recent years, and it was even worse after the collapse of the imperial court.
In addition, the Dashun army has been in Huguang with a lot of overt and covert actions, and the foundation of people's hearts is not bad, so how can He Tengjiao be the opponent of Yuan Zongdi, who is strong and strong?
Not surprisingly, Gangneung fell, just overnight.
Zuo Liangyu definitely didn't care about He Tengjiao's call for help, nor did he care about the fall of Jiangling, but once Jiangling fell, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River would be blocked, and his Wuchang would become an outpost front.
The key is that at this time, he doesn't have much to run away.
Jiujiang is a good place to retreat, but once you retreat to Jiujiang, it not only means that you have to completely tear your face with the imperial court, but also have to fight with Huang Degong hand-to-hand.
In fact, whether it is the imperial court or Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu doesn't care, it's just a wine bag and a rice bag, and it's not as big as his fist!
But he is extremely jealous of Xu Changqing, who has not had any news at this time!
Even if you think about Zuo Liangyu with your ass, you can know that Huguang is a watershed, once he steps out of Huguang, Xu Changqing will never sit idly by!
Xu Changqing is not an old military leader like Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, he is a tiger who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!
At the thought of confronting Xu Changqing and the model army of Megatron, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but feel a little weak.
He is indeed known as an army of 'hundreds of thousands', but no one knows better than himself what the size of it is.
After arguing messily for a while, everyone had no clue, Zuo Liangyu was also annoyed, he glared at the tiger, slapped the table and roared: "What are you arguing about?" The day hasn't fallen yet! How many winds and waves have come over, are you still afraid of this little gutter now? ”
Everyone suddenly did not dare to say more, and no one dared to disobey his might. Although Zuo Liangyu's character is not good, and his mind is not very broad-minded, he is at the level of a hero in terms of mind and means.
Lonely and helpless since he was a child, he joined the army at a young age, and he was able to have this position, purely by pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, stepping on countless corpses and fighting with the tide of the times, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the tide of the times.
Everyone here is an old brother he knew when he was in Liaodi, and although everyone has a certain strength at this time, no one dares to disobey his might, and everyone understands his ruthlessness.
A staff member with a fat figure and a delicate goatee hurriedly said: "Master Hou, you first dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger." Everyone is a little anxious. But what does the old saying come about? Seon lost his horse, how to know if it is a blessing! Li Chuang has already come in, and Huguang has already fought four battles, so we will definitely run into some trouble. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Master Hou, a few days ago, didn't you also receive a secret letter from Huang Shu and Lord Huang......"
As soon as he heard that the fat staff actually said this in public, Zuo Liangyu's brows suddenly frowned, but after a while, he also understood the fat staff's intentions, and couldn't help but smile coldly: "Lao Tzu is afraid of a ball?!" What is Li Chuang's fear? Lao Tzu is afraid of the Tartars hiding behind them! If Lao Tzu and Li Chuang fight, and Tartar gives Lao Tzu a knife with his backhand, what should I do? ”
There was another round of talking.
This is also what they are most afraid of.
Zuo Liangyu's department is from the official army, and has been fighting with Li Zicheng for many years, these years, with Zuo Liangyu's momentum, it has really gathered a lot of good hands in the defeated troops of various departments, at this time only the good hands at the family level, there are tens of thousands of people under their command.
This is also Zuo Liangyu's greatest confidence at this time!
But just like Li Zicheng's fiasco in a stone, what they were most afraid of was that they defeated Li Zicheng, but they were left behind by the Qing army's yellow finch and picked peaches.
Zuo Mengeng said at this time: "Father, either or let's ask the court for help!" If the imperial court doesn't allocate too much food and materials to us, can we not give us reinforcements? If the imperial court doesn't come to rescue us, even if we give up Wuchang, who can say anything? ”
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at Zuo Mengeng in unison.
This young marshal's strategy seems simple and straightforward, but it is undoubtedly the core.
Huguang is already like this, instead of holding on to the hard top, it is better to give up some of the interests and see how the court chooses!
Kick this ball to the imperial court, let the imperial court play this first move, and their leeway will naturally come out.
Zuo Liangyu's eyes were also slightly narrowed, and he was silent in thought.
However, although he did not make up his mind immediately, he gave Zuo Mengeng an encouraging look.
His son has grown up.
Although this trick is a bit upright, it can undoubtedly solve the problem.
Zuo Menggeng's ability may still be insufficient, but his vision is no problem!
This is an ability that many people don't have!
After thinking for a while, Zuo Liangyu just wanted to express his position, when at this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the herald outside!
"Newspaper—"
"Newspaper—"
"Haicheng eight hundred miles urgent! Xu Changqing, the lord of Haicheng, led the main force of the model army to successfully ambush the two main forces of the red flag in the Kuandian area north of Zhenjiang, killing more than 20,000 heads and nearly 10,000 prisoners, capturing alive Du Du, the owner of the red flag inlay, and slashing the red flag Dorobezi Luo Luohun ......"
As the voice spread, the heralds rushed in and continued to shout, and the entire hall was already as silent as death.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, one by one, their mouths subconsciously opened wide, and they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say a word.
The fat staff is even more jaw about to fall to the ground, and the whole person is not good, just like a fat fish on the shore keeps opening its mouth and cheeks, but it is silent.
After a while, Zuo Liangyu came back to his senses, and hurriedly said with a white face: "Quick, quickly bring up the battle report!" ”
"Oh, it's ......"
Only then did the herald come back to his senses and hurriedly handed the battle report to Zuo Liangyu.
Zuo Liangyu looked at it for a while, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly dissipated without a trace, and he didn't know whether to be relieved or relaxed, and he was paralyzed and soft on the throne.
After another long moment, he strengthened his spirit and threw the battle report to the fat staff: "You, you take a look before you speak......
The fat staff and others hurriedly took the battle report and quickly flipped through it, but the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, and soon, everyone was in a cold sweat.
Zuo Mengeng swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, and muttered: "I'll drop a mother, Xu Changqing, is this pulling out the roots of the two red flags......"
The fat staff hurriedly looked at Zuo Liangyu and said, "Master Hou, let's not seem to worry too much now, the Tartar should have no energy to deal with us for a while......"
But after the fat staff finished speaking, they were not relaxed at all, but more depressed than when they were suppressed by the Qing army before, and it became difficult to breathe.
The Qing army is a foreign race, thin and few people, and has always treated Han prisoners preferentially, no matter how bad it is, everyone can still surrender and save their lives.
Can......
The man in Haicheng is a tiger with a complete head, and he eats people without spitting out bones......
Here, Zuo Liangyu was already sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
OK.
It's fine.
Ancestors blessed, God blessed, he didn't rush to agree to Zuo Menggeng's radical strategy, and he didn't completely tear his face, otherwise......
Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to think about that kind of consequence anymore.
After a moment, Zuo Liangyu waved his hand extremely tiredly: "Go out, you guys go out first, Ben Shuai should be quiet." ”
"Yes......"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, busy with respectful salutes, and exit the hall in an orderly manner.
At this time, why should Zuo Liangyu think about it, how could they not think about it?
In this kind of season, the wind and clouds change, and if you are not careful, it is the terrifying abyss where there are no bones and no children and grandchildren!
……
Qufu City.
When Kong Yinzhi, the Holy Father, received the news, he was holding a clan meeting.
At this time, although the outer outline of Qufu City has risen, it is a pure broken blank project, and it is not even a blank, if it is not reinforced with more silver, it is completely tofu dregs.
However, many elders of the Kong family have already contributed a lot of silver, and the little wives have no money to buy jewelry, who is willing to give it?
Kong Yinzhi is also at a loss for this.
No way.
Even if he is the patriarch of the lineage and the face of the court, but the money in everyone's pocket is unwilling to give it to him, what can he do?
However, just when Kong Yinzhi was disgraced, the earth-shattering news suddenly came in, and the audience was instantly controlled.
Kong Yinzhi was also a little stupid.
Although he had already imagined enough, Xu Changqing was by no means a good person, and it was impossible to sit still in the face of this situation, but how could he have imagined that Xu Changqing was actually ...... gave him such an incomparable gift......
After a while, Kong Yinzhi finally came back to his senses, how can there be any previous malaise and flattery?
Slowly raised Erlang's legs, lightly played with the tea cup in his hand, and said lightly: "Since everyone doesn't want to give out the money, then let's do it first." It just so happens that the old man is a little tired now, so let's go down and rest first. ”
"Patriarch, you can't! How does this work? What is the big deal about repairing the city? It's all for the safety of all of us, how can we not pay for it? In this way, 10,000 taels of silver appeared in our third room, and it was immediately out. ”
No one is stupid.
Everyone reacted instantly, and suddenly the ultramarines were agitated, you are out of eight thousand taels, and I am out of seven thousand taels, for fear of falling behind.
No way.
Now that the money is not out, I'm afraid it won't be long before the patriarch they are familiar with will come to collect the money from them, but the wolf-like soldiers of the model army......
Looking at the excited crowd, the problem that could not be solved for several months was solved in an instant, Kong Yinzhi only felt that there were 48,000 pores all over his body, and none of them were uncomfortable.
With Xu Changqing's 'golden thighs', why was he so stupid before, and he had to get along with himself?
Looking at the silver tickets in front of him for a short time, they were piled up like a small mountain, Kong Yinzhi was humming a little song casually, and he was also thinking quickly in his heart, he had to send Qin'er to Xu Changqing quickly, otherwise, if he was one step later, even if Qin'er was excellent, I was afraid that he would not even be able to drink a sip of soup.
