In the next few days, both the Exile Army and Xu Changqing's model army maintained considerable restraint.

Liu Zongmin's main force had already withdrawn to the princess's tomb, and at this time, it was Li Yan and the Red Lady's troops who stayed here to confront Xu Changqing.

Li Yan is undoubtedly much more secure than Liu Zongmin.

He has been gathering homeless cannon fodder to build fortifications, the earthen walls have been piled up to a height of five or six meters, and various trenches are stacked continuously, like an ant's nest.

Xu Changqing's side is also constantly rebuilding the fortifications.

However, unlike Li Yan and his wife, Xu Changqing did not increase the scale of the fortifications, but continued to improve the auxiliary facilities.

The water system in this area is a bit too abundant, although it is the height of summer, the sun is fierce, but the humidity is still very heavy at night.

During World War I, soldiers often contracted a form of 'trench foot disease' with sores on their feet, which was far more terrible than dying in battle.

Once you have this disease, you basically have to have an amputation, and many people may not be able to save their lives when they have their limbs.

At this time, the sons and daughters of the model army are all Xu Changqing's life. Roots, seeds, and stay in this environment for months, maybe longer.

Xu Changqing definitely can't let his sons and daughters get infected with this evil disease and destroy the Great Wall.

Solving this problem is also not complicated.

On the one hand, quicklime disinfection, on the other hand, it is to reconstruct the structure of the fortifications, make the space larger and more open, prepare fire prevention facilities, build wooden barracks, and at the same time, set up more drainage channels to divert water from the camp.

In this way, when the sun is bright at noon, the sons can hide in the wooden barracks to rest, and the sun can dry the camp even more, and the sons can practice activities in the morning and evening.

……

In this kind of methodical, the news of Xu Changqing's victory in Zhuxian Town also began to spread rapidly.

Zuo Liangyu, who maintained a smooth channel with Xu Changqing, was the first to receive the news.

This made the general of the thief very unhappy, and he locked himself in the big tent and drank alcohol.

At this point, history has changed dramatically from the original time and space.

Because of Xu Changqing's strong breakthrough in Songjin, the martial arts group, which had already begun to rise, began to rise sharply, and the imperial court canonized four uncles at once.

Wu Sangui is just a bonus, Zuo Liangyu, who has been in the army in Liaodong for several years, knows the power of the Wu family very well, and he doesn't dare to talk to Wu Sanguigang.

But, how can he even be crowned a nephew by Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, and Xu Changqing, a little cub who came out of nowhere?

Is this a slap in the face of his thief general?

Originally, Zuo Liangyu was still very proud of being able to obtain the title of General Ping Thief, and he thought that he was the first in the world.

However, under the shadow of Xu Changqing, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, and Wu Sangui, this is obviously not enough.

"Hey, this damn thing, the country is going to die, and there will be demons! Anything dares to jump out! ”

The more he thought about Zuo Liangyu, the more angry he became, he sighed, and held the wine glass in his hand fiercely, his old eyes were full of gloom.

At this moment, the large tent was opened, and a young figure walked in quickly.

He was wearing a guerrilla robe, and his eyebrows and eyes were six or seven points similar to Zuo Liangyu, but he was much more delicate than Zuo Liangyu.

It is Zuo Gongzi and Zuo Mengeng, who had a relationship with Xu Changqing in Qingzhou!

Zuo Mengeng also learned the news of Xu Changqing's victory at this time, and when he saw his father's appearance, how could he not understand what was going on?

Hurriedly smiled: "Father, but are you worried about the war ahead?" ”

Zuo Liangyu glanced at his son, sighed and said, "Menggeng, what do you think?" ”

For Zuo Mengeng, Zuo Liangyu still attaches great importance to him, although he has not experienced too much polishing, but Zuo Mengeng has been smart since he was a child, and he is extremely sensible, he is already his successor, many things, Zuo Liangyu no longer avoids his son, but discusses with him.

Zuo Mengeng said with a smile: "Father, there is no need to worry about this matter, perhaps, this is still a good opportunity for us!" ”

"Oh?"

Zuo Liangyu squinted at his son with old eyes, "Tell me carefully." ”

Zuo Mengeng no longer held it up, and said with a smile: "Father, what is the combat power of a thief, in this world, can anyone know better than you?" It is strange that Xu Changqing can't win the thief. However, this Xu Changqing is also really bold, and the lone soldier dares to go deep into the heart of the thief. The child had met with this Xu Changqing in Qingzhou before, and he was really a ruthless person. On that day, even if it was the son of the Yansheng family, he didn't give him half of face at all. But later, that Kong Gongzi died, and Yan Shenggong didn't dare to embarrass him. ”

Zuo Liangyu's brows furrowed tightly, waiting for his son's next step.

Zuo Mengeng smiled again: "Father, those rumors that spread in Liaodong before, saying how brave Xu Changqing is, many people don't believe it. But now the child believes. I'm afraid, as the rumors say, the reason why Wang Pu and Cao Bianjiao were able to be crowned uncles is because of Xu Changqing! ”

Seeing that his father's brows were furrowed even tighter, Zuo Mengeng said directly: "Father, the child thinks that with this Xu Changqing, we can only make friends, not offend!" Make friends, all the benefits and no harm! Perhaps, if you can exterminate Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others this time, your father can also be crowned uncle, or even go further! ”

Zuo Mengeng's eyes burned and looked at Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu's brows were already wrinkled into a lump, and he was silent for a long time.

Seeing that Zuo Mengeng was a little anxious, Zuo Liangyu said unhurriedly: "Xu Changqing is arrogant, I'm afraid, even if we want to befriend him, he may not appreciate it." ”

Zuo Mengeng had already planned and said busily: "Father, this matter is not difficult. Do you ...... Did you forget Mengmei? Although Xu Changqing's bravery is the best in the world, his lust is also well known! There are two eldest ladies of the Wu family and the Zuo family, Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen, and in Qingzhou, there is also a water girl. Father, Mengmei will never lose to them! Our Zuo family is not weaker than the Wu family! Father, as long as you agree to this, the child is willing to go to Xu Changqing overnight to discuss cooperation! ”

"Mengmei?"

Zuo Liangyu's face turned cold.

Mengmei is not his biological daughter, but the daughter of his old buddy Qiu Lei in Liaodong.

Back then, Zuo Liangyu and Qiu Lei committed something together and wanted to be severely punished, but Qiu Lei took this responsibility off by himself and entrusted his daughter to Zuo Liangyu.

Subsequently, Zuo Liangyu named this goddaughter Zuo Mengmei, not only as her own, but also as the pearl of her palm.

And Zuo Mengmei is also quite competitive, not only is she beautiful, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also extremely empathetic, and it is also an extremely soft place in Zuo Liangyu's heart.

But at this time, Zuo Liangyu didn't expect that his son would actually use his pearl in his palm to talk about it in order to hug Xu Changqing's thigh!

Seeing Zuo Liangyu's face change, Zuo Mengeng also knew that he was a little anxious, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only sigh deeply: "Father, Mengmei is a daughter's family, and she wants to marry after all." Xu Changqing is a hero in the world, Mengmei followed Xu Changqing, and she would never be wronged. ”

Zuo Liangyu suddenly stood up viciously, wanting to give the unsuccessful son in front of him a whip.

Zuo Mengeng was not afraid, did not dodge, and simply closed his eyes.

He understood his father's thoughts very well, and it was no wonder that he still 'died of cunning rabbits, lackeys cooked', and did not want to destroy the Wandering Army so early.

However, at this time, things are no longer under his father's control, you don't want to extinguish, so doesn't Xu Changqing want to extinguish it either?

In case the first-class people's army was wiped out by Xu Changqing, then their Zuo family not only could not reap the benefits, but also had to face the catastrophe of annihilation.

Over the years, their Zuo family has done the same thing with no conscience.

But my father was still so stubborn at this time, and he was really tired for a while.

But Zuo Mengeng waited for a while, but found that his father's whip did not fall, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly opened his eyes and looked over, and found that his father seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden.

"Father's ......"

Zuo Mengeng was also a little choked up for a while, and looked at him with tears.

Zuo Liangyu sighed deeply at this time: "Meng Geng, what you said is not wrong. Xu Changqing's house is really worthy of Mengmei! However, this matter cannot be rushed! You take Jin Shenghuan's department to the north first, and go to Xu Changqing's side to see the situation. You can tell Xu Changqing a thing or two about this, and see his reaction first. Try your best to get the conditions, you know? ”

Although Zuo Liangyu's words were implicit, how could Zuo Mengeng not understand what his father meant, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded heavily: "Father, don't worry!" It's on the child! The child will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation! ”

……

Zuo Mengengdang rushed to Zhuxian Town overnight with more than 3,000 pioneers from the staff general Jin Shenghuan under Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu stayed in the big tent in a daze.

At this time, they had already arrived at the territory of Zhenyang in the middle of Ruyang Mansion, and if they hurried with all their might, they would be able to reach the battlefield of Zhuxian Town in three or five days.

To be honest, Zuo Liangyu was also very moved by Zuo Menggeng's proposal.

Zuo Mengeng can figure it out, how can he, an old fritter, not understand?

If Xu Changqing strikes first and really destroys the exile army, then there is no need for him to tell the truth about the thief general.

At this time, although Zuo Liangyu won and lost in the battle with the Wandering Army, in his bones, he really looked down on those mud legs.

has always believed that as long as he really exerts his strength, those mud legs will definitely not be his opponents.

Therefore, many times he is a little fluctuating, and in this fluctuation he continues to grow himself, and he always thinks that the overall situation is under his control.

But at this time, the appearance of Xu Changqing's 'catfish' made Zuo Liangyu feel a little lost.

What should I do about this?

At this time, a slender and graceful figure came to the tent lightly, and walked over with a glass of white fungus soup with a smile, "Father, it's late at night, why don't you rest?" ”

When Zuo Liangyu saw this shadow, the whole person's mind instantly brightened up a lot, and said with a smile: "Mengmei, you girl is not sleeping yet, why did you come to find a father?" How's it going, are you feeling better these days? ”

Zuo Mengmei Shi Ran smiled: "Father, it's much better, you don't have to worry about it, drink the white fungus soup first." ”

"Hey, okay, drink porridge for my father first."

For this seemingly weak, but actually inward-looking daughter, Zuo Liangyu couldn't bear to refuse any of her requests.

While drinking porridge and looking at the picturesque adopted daughter in front of him, Zuo Liangyu felt a little emotional.

Zuo Mengmei is only twenty-eight years old this year, and she is in the prime of her youth, and Zuo Liangyu can be regarded as having seen countless winds and waves, but he thinks that the women he has seen, including famous prostitutes and the like, are not enough for his daughter at all.

This daughter has been sensible since she was a child, because of the perennial war, he has no choice but to keep her by his side, but his daughter has never had a word of complaint, and in this environment, she taught herself piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in everything, and has been taking care of his old bones.

How could he be willing to marry his daughter to Xu Changqing's arrogant man?

It's just that...... Zuo Mengeng is right, her daughter is going to marry someone after all, and if she can marry Xu Changqing, she will never humiliate their Zuo family.

To some extent, this is even the pride of their left family.

But......

Seeing her father's entanglement, Zuo Mengmei smiled lightly: "Father, daughter...... Willing to marry that Xu Changqing! ”

Zuo Liangyu's pupils suddenly shrank: "Mengmei, who told you this?!" ”

A strong murderous aura suddenly permeated him.

This is someone who wants to poke his heart!

Even if this is done by Zuo Mengeng, it can't work!

Zuo Mengmei smiled: "Father, you don't have to be angry. Speaking of which, it was the daughter who mentioned this matter to the eldest brother first. ”

"What?"

Zuo Liangyu suddenly froze in place.
