Chapter 235: Liu Zeqing worships the mountain gate
Liu Zongmin suddenly laughed: "King Chuang, I have long thought that I will meet our famous loyal and righteous uncle, see if this milk baby is as god as the legend!" ”
The surrounding generals also immediately shouted:
"King Chuang, the Ming Court is really unmanned, dare to brag about anything! That Xu Changqing, who is less than twenty this year, is just him, and he still killed the slave chief Taiji? I'm not afraid to blow the cowhide out! ”
"That's right. After Xu Changqing's milk baby is Xungui, his hair has not grown, and he knows a ball! Ming Ting just wanted to scare people. ”
"It's okay if this little milk baby doesn't come, as long as this kid dares to come, keep him coming in vertically and going out horizontally."
"Hahaha......"
Looking at the morale of the generals, Li Zicheng's mood was also a lot more relaxed, but he was still very cautious in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xu Changqing, this yellow-mouthed child is indeed an embroidered pillow, but this child also has some skills. I just got the news that it only took him half a month to uproot the ghost before. ”
"Uprooted the ghost master in half a month?"
Liu Zongmin was stunned for a moment.
Others don't know the name of the ghost master, as the core general of the Wandering People's Army, Liu Zongmin knows it, after all, they have always been known as 'the world's righteous army is one', they have been in contact with the ghost master before, and hope that he will also raise the banner together.
But the ghost master is better than the monkey, how can he mix with the homeless army before the situation is unclear?
How could Liu Zongmin have thought that in just half a month, Xu Changqing actually uprooted the ghost master, this yellow-mouthed child really has some ability.
Seeing Liu Zongmin's silence, the other generals also realized that something was wrong, and they all whispered to find out who this ghost master was.
Seeing that his morale was suppressed, Liu Zongmin suddenly sneered: "Just a dirt bun who can only steal petty, what's the big deal about destroying him?" It's just right, take this opportunity to wipe out these dog officers and soldiers! ”
Seeing Li Zicheng's appreciative nod, Liu Zongmin hurriedly smiled and said, "King Chuang, the banquet has been prepared, let's go into the tent and talk while eating." ”
Li Zicheng smiled and nodded: "It's okay!" Everyone, today we have to make a good sum up and see how to concoct this yellow-mouthed kid! ”
"Haha, King Chuang is wise! This time, we must wipe out the elite of the dog officer army! ”
"That's right, at that time, the world is so big, where can I wait?"
“……”
The group waited in the big tent, Liu Zongmin ordered his subordinates to start serving, and discussed with Li Zicheng, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others about the specific plan to deal with Xu Changqing.
Don't look at these guys babbling one by one, they look brainless and dirty, but they have been rebelling since the early years of Chongzhen, and it has been more than ten years at this time.
It can be said that all of them are good at fighting.
For the means of controlling and coercing morale, it is very familiar.
At this time, although the momentum of the Wandering People's Army was rising, it had not yet been truly established, and its establishment was slightly chaotic, to some extent, it was somewhat similar to when Sect Leader Hong and them went north.
Li Zicheng is the core, the spiritual leader, and the one who carries the banner, but the main military affairs are operated by Liu Zongmin.
At this time, there are only a dozen people who can enter Liu Zongmin's big tent, and they are all the cores of the various departments of the Wandering People's Army.
After drinking a few rounds of wine and eating some vegetables to pad his stomach, Li Zicheng frowned a little and said, "Xu Changqing, a yellow-mouthed child, is not good at coming here." It was precisely because of his dispatch of troops that there was a big move on the side of the dog officer army, and all departments began to send troops. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to attack this Xu Changqing first and kill the morale of these dog officers and soldiers, what do you think? ”
Everyone nodded.
Liu Zongmin said: "King Chuang, I think so too. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. Xu Changqing, a yellow-mouthed child, still has the ability. I thought that they could send more sentry horses to investigate the movements of this yellow-mouthed child. As long as you have the chance, you will give him a knife! ”
The little man Song Xiance also shook his little fan and said, "What the chief whistle said is very true. Let's take precautions. His subordinates guessed that if Xu Changqing wanted to supply smoothly, he would definitely have to rely on river transportation, and we could work hard in this regard. ”
Li Zicheng nodded slowly: "You can't do too much about this, you want to kill the sharpness of this yellow-mouthed child, but you can't beat him to death." If he is killed, the dog officers and soldiers will definitely be afraid and heavily defended, which is not good for us. ”
As the topic opened, everyone expressed their opinions.
The cohesion of each emerging group in the initial period of prosperity and upward movement was good, and the same was true of the exile army at this time.
The reason why they surrounded Kaifeng for the third time at this time was that on the one hand, they coveted the wealth in Kaifeng City and wanted to use Kaifeng City to enhance their prestige, and on the other hand, and most importantly, they wanted to kill and injure the living forces of the officers and soldiers!
At this time, except for the elite of the nine sides, there is not much power that the imperial court can use.
Soon, they reached an agreement and ambushed Xu Changqing!
……
Just when the Exile Army was formulating a battle plan for Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing and the main force of the Model Army had already left Dongchang Mansion and came to the territory of Fan County at the junction of Beijing, Shandong, and Henan.
This area is the sphere of influence of Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, and it is only a stone's throw away from his hometown Cao County.
However, the cunning Liu Zeqing obviously had no intention of sending troops, and he didn't know what excuse he used to prevaricate the imperial court.
Not long after Xu Changqing arrived in Fan County, Liu Zeqing personally brought people over and brought a lot of gifts to visit Xu Changqing.
Liu Zeqing is in his early forties this year, he looks good, his figure is tall, and he is very decent.
He also had the experience of serving in the army in Liaodong in his early years, and he was able to sit firmly on the throne of the chief military officer of Shandong, also because of the skeleton support of Liaodi.
Xu Changqing didn't want to see Liu Zeqing at first, he really didn't like this product very much, but Xu Changqing soon came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, in this state, even if he couldn't be a friend, he definitely couldn't be an enemy.
Li Zicheng and their analysis is good, although Xu Changqing has a lot of carts at this time, the core lifeline of food and salary still depends on the Grand Canal.
Xu Changqing did not camp in Fan County, causing trouble, but by a small stream in the south of the city.
Not long after, Liu Zeqing came to Xu Changqing's big tent with a humble smile: "Uncle, I have admired the name for a long time, I have really admired the name for a long time." I wanted to visit you for a long time, but I have been so busy with mundane affairs lately, I have never been able to get out. It's a privilege to be able to see my uncle today. ”
Even if this guy is the same age as Xu Changqing's son Xu Huchen, at this time, Liu Zeqing's posture is extremely low, and he directly calls himself 'lowly', and there is no hypocrisy.
This also made Xu Changqing understand that it was definitely not luck that Liu Zeqing could sit on the throne of the Shandong General Army, and that he could become one of the four towns in Jiangbei later.
"Hehe, Liu Junmen is too modest. Ben Shuai has long heard of Liu Junmen's name, loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, but he has never had time to visit him, and now, it is really a great pleasure to be able to meet Liu Junmen! ”
Liu Zeqing saw that Xu Changqing had a good attitude, and soon put his mind at ease, and the more he chatted with Xu Changqing, the more speculative he became.
As the wine and food came up and drank a few glasses of wine, the two almost reached the point of calling each other brothers.
Liu Zeqing also began to carefully explain why he did not send troops.
He smothered a glass of wine and said bitterly: "Uncle, I actually want to do my best for the court and make a feat of being a wife and a son, but unfortunately, now the Shandong soldiers are too weak, and the strength to fight is still less than 5,000, and they want to strengthen the defense of the Central Plains, so it is really indefensible." ”
Xu Changqing couldn't help but glance at Liu Zeqing more and more.
Deliberately giving the handle to someone is not something that anyone can do.
This guy's approach at this time is the same as Xu Changqing's previous takedown of Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen to Emperor Chongzhen.
But Xu Changqing is obviously not comparable to Emperor Chongzhen.
It can also be seen from this that Liu Zeqing is shrewd.
Of course, how much truth this guy has to tell, then we have to discern it well.
However, Xu Changqing could feel that the number of 'five thousand soldiers' he mentioned was about the same, and to a certain extent, Liu Zeqing still had a conscience.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty, the number of troops on all sides is really a joke.
"Brother Liu, this matter is like a person drinking water, and he knows his own warmth and coldness."
Xu Changqing also sighed in response, and said with a smile: "The same is true for the junior brother, there are not five thousand practical soldiers, and they are all new troops." Fortunately, the younger brother doesn't need to take on too many defense tasks, otherwise, he really doesn't know what to do. ”
Liu Zeqing saw that Xu Changqing was very sincere, and suddenly felt like a confidant, and the two began to spit out the court and the current situation.
At this time, the banquet was almost over, Liu Zeqing rolled his eyes, and then looked at Xu Changqing: "Uncle, before, the matter of the dog, hey, it is difficult to talk about the humble position, thank you Uncle for your tolerance." Uncle, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again. ”
Although what this guy said was a little vague, how could Xu Changqing not understand his deep meaning? He will repay the favor and will never provoke trouble behind Xu Changqing's back.
Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Liu, our brothers, it's far away to say this!" If the battle situation is good this time, the younger brother will notify Brother Liu as soon as possible! ”
Liu Zeqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was busy with his hands again and again: "Uncle, the humble position has been stupid since he was a child, and he can't speak, so you can look at the performance of the humble position!" ”
He originally thought that this matter would have to take a few more detours so that Xu Changqing could understand his deep meaning, but he didn't expect that Xu Changqing had already thought of this just a little bit of this meaning.
No wonder, no wonder Xu Changqing is so old that he has today's achievements!
……
sent Liu Zeqing away, and Xu Changqing's mood was also very happy.
Later generations look at history, according to the crushing advantage of the times, always like to stand on the commanding heights, but they don't know that the changes in society are more about the productive forces and production relations, and how much has the tradition changed?
No matter what era it is, which person can mix in a high position, and is it a wine bag and rice bag?
Maybe they may be lacking in professionalism, but when it comes to dealing with people, they are all top masters!
At this time, a slightly thin figure of a soldier walked into the auxiliary tent, and obediently came to clean up the wine and food, bringing a fragrant breeze.
Looking at her shadow, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile and was in a better mood.
It was the first snow.
Xu Changqing didn't want to bring any female dependents with him on this expedition, because he didn't know when this battle would end, and if he got pregnant, it wouldn't be fun.
But the words of his mother Yang made Xu Changqing change his mind.
It's definitely not okay if there is no one around to serve you.
As a result, Hatsuyuki, who was closest to her, stood out and became the winner of the trip.
It's just that in the past few days, Xu Changqing has been busy with military affairs, but he really doesn't have time to pay close attention to her.
At this time, after reaching an agreement with Liu Zeqing, Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot, and finally had time to focus on this 'child daughter-in-law' who has played together since childhood.
Originally, Chu Xue didn't care and was still cleaning up the table, but soon, a woman's natural sensitivity made her feel that something was wrong.
She vaguely felt that a pair of aggressive eyes were watching her.
This made her originally agile body start to stiffen a little, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Xu Changqing was a little funny, and just wanted to tease this girl, when at this time, a report from the pro-soldiers suddenly came from outside: "Report~, the latest battle report of the imperial court!" ”
"Huh?"
Xu Changqing was clever, quickly went out to get the battle report, opened it and looked at it for a while, and his brows couldn't stop wrinkling!
