Chapter Eighty-Eight: I Had to Send It

The weather in October was a bit cold.

Zuo Liangyu and his entourage were escorted by more than 1,000 horsemen, and swept past a few miles in front of Cao Ying's array.

This number of cavalry, above this distance, is enough to ensure Zuo Liangyu's safety.

The generals around Zuo Liangyu followed behind, and the red tassels on the cotton armor of Yishui looked very powerful.

Zuo Liangyu sneered: "It seems that Luo Ru is the one who will eat me." ”

Huang Shu said: "It's easy to break a small formation. ”

"Oh?" Zuo Liangyu said: "Mr. Huang thinks how to break it? ”

Huang Shu said: "At first glance, it is a long snake formation, such as the snake of Changshan, the head is the tail, the tail is the first, and if you want to break it, send two generals to stick to the head and tail, and the army will be cut into two sections from the middle, this array can be broken." ”

Zuo Liangyu smiled slightly and did not speak.

In Zuo Liangyu's heart, what Huang Shu said was just some correct nonsense.

If it was possible, Zuo Liangyu was reluctant to attack.

However, the situation is different now. Dongyu broke into the camp, what will happen in the future, Zuo Liangyu also has his own judgment, his judgment is that it is estimated that Li Zicheng will not be able to hold his foot, and he is not optimistic about the battle of Tongguan.

Zuo Liangyu is a native of Liaodong, he has long dealt with Dongyu, and he has an enemy in his heart about Dongyu's combat power.

But this advantage is not absolute.

It's just that in the modern situation, Li Zicheng has been defeated repeatedly, which hurts the morale of the army too much. The East Captives pursued relentlessly, attacking from both sides.

He must do a good job, what should he do when Li Zicheng retreats?

You must know that Xiangyang is still in the hands of the camp, and Wuchang Ma Shiying has also seen this risk, and has repeatedly written letters, asking Zuo Liangyu to take the initiative to fight to break Cao's camp, even if he does not recover the old capital, he must ensure that the east side is worry-free, and the main force will be transferred to the west.

Huang Shu's strategy is not a problem in the art of war, after all, it is the right way to contain the two sides and storm the middle. But looking at the simple formation, Zuo Liangyu didn't know why he had a feeling of panic in his heart.

sighed slightly and said, "Let's go, tomorrow is the attack." I, Zuo Liangyu, don't exert power, and the world doesn't know my Zuo Liangyu's methods. ”

Everywhere Zuo Liangyu could see, there was also a team of people facing each other behind the formation.

It's none other than Zhang Xuan and He Hutou.

Zhang Xuan said: "It seems that Zuo Liangyu has come to see you." ”

He Hutou said: "It's not to come to see me, but to see your arrangement brother-in-law." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "In this way, the big war is in the next few days, this battle, I don't have a complete bottom in my heart, most of the tens of thousands of firecrackers in the army are trained by you, you give me a truthful word, how are you trained?" Can you take on the big responsibility? ”

Zhang Xuan can be said to have been thinking about this battle for a long time.

Trenches, breastwork, and gunners lined up behind the breastwork, followed by artillery fire. I don't know how many times better than being shot in line without cover.

But all these methods, in the final analysis, all depend on the training level of the soldiers.

He Hutou said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, don't you know how I am?" You gave me such a great opportunity, how could I live up to your expectations. ”

Indeed, today's battle is indeed the stage for He Hutou.

As a newly promoted general, He Hutou commanded more than 10,000 firecrackers, and he has always served on the auxiliary battlefield, if it were not for Zhang Xuan's plan this time, it would be impossible to have the opportunity to pick up sorghum so soon.

He Hutou's assurance, Zhang Xuan didn't dare to believe it all, but the front-line commander has such self-confidence, which can be regarded as good news.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of the battle situation in the north?" He Hutou said.

Zhang Xuan reacted immediately when he heard this, He Hutou has never forgotten the revenge of killing his father.

For a while, Zhang Xuan's heart was a little soft, and he said: "Don't worry, the camp is not as good as the original, the battle of Tongguan, the chance of winning the camp is not great." ”

He Hu slammed his head into the chest wall, and hatred leaked out of his eyes.

Zhang Xuan said: "What's the matter, is this bad?" ”

"Not good." He Hutou said: "In this way, wouldn't there be no chance to know the thief with your own hands? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "King Chuang can't die for a while." ”

"That's the best." He Hutou said: "After defeating Wuchang, I will ask for orders to be the vanguard and attack Xiangyang." I must ----, must ---。 ”

Although He Hutou didn't finish speaking, how could Zhang Xuan not guess what he was saying later?

Zhang Xuan wanted to say something, but he only sighed slightly as if he thought of something.

Even if King Chuang is really defeated, can He Hutou really kill King Chuang? Zhang Xuan is not optimistic.

However, to what extent Li Zicheng is down, the signboard of King Chuang still has some appeal, even if Li Zicheng is poor to vote, Luo Rucai may not kill Li Zicheng, and it would be better to use Li Zicheng's name to surrender the remnants of Li Zicheng.

When the time comes, I'm afraid no one cares about a teenager's enmity.

The four words of happiness and enmity are exclusive to chivalrous people, but they are not something that people who have achieved great things can do.

Zhang Xuan had already seen this sign, but he didn't know how to comfort He Hutou, what could he say to resolve the revenge of killing his father?

How can such a great enmity be resolved.

Zhang Xuan could only sigh slightly in his heart, press this matter and not say anything, take one step at a time, maybe Li Zicheng didn't have that day at all, and he was killed by the Qing army on the way. This may be a good result for He Hutou.

After Zuo Liangyu returned to the camp, he called Zuo Mengeng over and said: "Tomorrow's battle is extremely dangerous, if you can win a big victory, it will be fine, if you don't win, you will take your own soldiers to the north to Daqing." ”

"Why is this what Daddy is all about?" Zuo Mengeng was taken aback and said.

In his heart, Zuo Liangyu has always been invincible, even if there are all kinds of defeats, it is because others are holding back, not Zuo Liangyu's true ability.

Zuo Liangyu said: "Shut up. ”

Zuo Liangyu looked at his chubby son, and immediately became angry, looking at Zuo Mengeng, then looking at Luo Rucai's son, Luo Yulong, son-in-law Zhang Xuan, looking at Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo, Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, even looking at Nurhachi's sons, Zuo Liangyu suddenly had a feeling of a tiger father and a dog.

Then the anger dissipated.

What can be done if this is the case? Can Zuo Liangyu still stuff Zuo Mengeng back?

"The situation of the imperial court is precarious, now the imperial army is in Jiujiang, even if it can win tomorrow, it will not be able to get out for a while, and the Qing army or the camp is coming from the west, what will the imperial court use to stop it? In order to fight today, the imperial court has exhausted the treasury and swept the floor for soldiers. Zuo Liangyu said in cold and unfeeling: "The court is finished. ”

"If you don't die in Cao Ying, you will die in the camp, and if you don't die in the camp, you will die in the Qing Dynasty." Zuo Liangyu said: "Even if I can defeat Cao Ying, I can't change this situation. ”

"And between my Zuo family and Cao Chuang, the feud is as deep as the sea, I'm old, it doesn't matter, just do the archway for a few years. What should you do then, I'm afraid you will die on the front foot, and you will follow on the back foot. So you can only surrender to the Qing court, you know? ”

"The child knows." Zuo Mengeng couldn't accept so much information for a while, and said, "Things have really come to this point? ”

"Mr. Huang." Zuo Liangyu said.

After eating Huang Shu, his heart was also full of thoughts, and he didn't know what it meant to leave Zuo Liangyu and his son when they had such a private conversation. Hearing Zuo Liangyu speak, he immediately said, "Xia Guan is here." ”

"My son is dull, I don't ask him to be blessed and rich, I only want him to live." Zuo Liangyu said: "I, Zuo Liangyu, am still a little famous in the world, I want my son to worship Mr. as a teacher, and from then on I will obey Mr. 's words, and ask Mr. to take my son north one day and defect to the Qing court." Keep him safe for the rest of his life. ”

Huang Shu's heart jumped suddenly, and he understood for a while, Zuo Liangyu's meaning was very clear, his Zuo Liangyu's reputation, political capital, and even the rest of the department, these connections were handed over to Huang Shu, just to let Huang Shu gain a firm foothold in the Qing court, and protect Zuo Mengeng.

Huang Shu also went from being a penniless person to immediately becoming the representative of the Zuo family. The value has increased immediately, but it is in the Qing court, and it is easy to be promoted.

"If the adults command, how can the students not agree." Huang Shu lowered his head slightly, and his eyes also flashed with a light called ambition.
