Chapter 112: The Crusade

Zuo Liangyu had to think about this, whether Cao Ying's strength had greatly improved, or Zuo Ying's ability to fight.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu already has the answer in his heart.

It was this answer that frightened Zuo Liangyu, so he kept his face gloomy and didn't speak.

Naturally, the left battalion could not fight.

The so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black. Zuo Liangyu's old background is a Liaodong soldier, but after a long time of repeated battles, I don't know how many people died in the chaos, especially after the defeat of Zhuxian Town, Zuo Liangyu knew that his left battalion was no longer able to fight.

had to pull tiger skins to scare the court.

So there is the current 800,000 left battalion.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu is not very clear how many people there are.

Without him, most of these people are from rogue bandits, almost half of them are recruited, and they each have their own teams, except for Zuo Liangyu's descendants, Zuo Liangyu is not easy to interfere. Zuo Ying's descendants are people, and what can happen when they mix with these people.

It may take a lifetime to learn well, but it only takes one day to learn badly.

The military discipline of the left battalion also slowly became dissolved, so there is today's result.

Many things can be faked, but combat effectiveness cannot be faked, a big battle is fought, naturally know who is higher and who is lower, who wins and who loses.

What will the left battalion look like without combat effectiveness? The more Zuo Liangyu thought about it, the more headache he felt, he felt that he had made a big and inappropriate monster, but could he change it? No. can only use prestige to suppress the generals below, Zuo Liangyu has been in the world for decades, and this prestige is still there.

"Your Excellency." Huang Shu said with a bit of restraint: "Your Excellency is angry about the battle the day before yesterday, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, why should your adult be so concerned." ”

"The sons and daughters are not angry." Zuo Liangyu said: "Let Lord Huang see and laugh." ”

"Your Excellency. This is an official letter from Beijing, urging the adults to go south. Huang Shu said: "Beijing is already in a hurry. Adults, why don't we go downstream? ”

Take the boat straight down to the city of Nanjing. Gather the gentry in Nanjing City and conquer Nanjing City in one fell swoop.

This is the hope of Beijing. But Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to do this, without him, it was too risky.

Although there are not many sailors in Cao Ying, it is not none. Although Zuo Liangyu has a large number of troops, he does not have a special sailor. If before this battle, Zuo Liangyu still had some hope of defeating Cao Ying in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't have this thought.

Zuo Ying has rotted like this, Zuo Liangyu does not dare to guarantee that his army will advance eastward, and Cao Ying will take it in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, the gains will outweigh the losses.

At this time, he would rather blow the tiger skin of the left camp than take the risk.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu couldn't use this statement to explain to Huang Shu, and said: "Now on the Yangtze River waterway, our army's naval division does not have an advantage, so it is better to wait for General Huang to arrive, and then make an assault on Nanjing, at this time." I just need to take it step by step and hit the camp under the city of Nanjing. ”

Huang Shu also knew that Zuo Liangyu was now domineering, so he didn't say much, so he left.

After leaving the camp, he secretly said in his heart: "Jiangnan is urging the Japanese urgency, and we need to think of a way to let the army march quickly." "Don't talk about Zuo Liangyu's faltering crusade. only talk about Luo Yulong and Zhang Xuan's Eastern Crusade.

After the army went east, Zhenjiang Changzhou only took a day or two, and they were captured one after another, and the magistrates had no heart to resist at all, and there was no power to resist.

But in the south of the Yangtze River, the magistrate is just a slave of the big family, where there is any authority to speak of, and what can be commanded is only the dozens of officials under his command, what can be helped.

However, there are many righteous men who rebel against the army in the countryside.

It's just that these people are just stupid to read books, and the volunteers they recruited are all people, but they are just people, and as for weapons, they are just ordinary farm tools, such people are almost decades ago. The level of the Shaanxi rebels is fundamentally vulnerable to the army, and even a few officials can take down these rebels.

However, Cao Ying was not a Qing court after all.

Therefore, Jiangnan Shi Dafu does more cold violence that does not resist or support. As the army marched eastward, it would also divide its troops and occupy many prefectures and counties, and the countryside would not have much control.

After all, Cao Ying's victory over these scholar families in a year or two is simply impossible for him to influence in the local area for hundreds of years.

That's all it takes.

After conquering Changzhou, Zhang Xuan immediately visited Luo Yulong, but not about the war, but with Luo Yulong, he wanted to meet a local elder, not someone else, but Qian Qianyi.

Luo Yulong still respects Zhang Xuan's opinion, although Ruan Dacheng is a little dissatisfied, but he doesn't dare to say it, after all, Qian Qianyi's reputation as the Grandmaster of the article is far better than Ruan Dacheng. It's just that Ruan Dacheng's influence on Luo Yulong is not as good as Zhang Xuan. And Ruan Dacheng also thinks that Qian Qianyi is a person who wants to save face. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to agree.

Luo Yulong took a little time, and under the escort of thousands of soldiers, he headed towards Yushan.

Yushan is in the northwest of Changzhou, known as Wumu Mountain in ancient times, and it is also a local scenic spot, and Qian Qianyi is in Yushan.

said that Qian Qianyi had to say that Liu Ru was good, Qian Qianyi easily married Liu Ru is home, and set up another courtyard in Yu Mountain, where he and Liu Ru lived for several years.

Even if Changzhou was captured by the rebels, Qian Qianyi didn't want to pay attention to it

Yes.

Of course, the reason why Qian Qianyi stayed at home and didn't leave was not because of anything else, firstly, people left the countryside, the Qian family Wu Yue Qian family lineage, and it has been inherited here for hundreds of years, the Qian family said a word in the countryside, which is more effective than the government, and Qian Qianyi did not have this power when he left Changzhou. Moreover, the rebels came from Nanjing, and the killing along the way was not heavy.

First, the military discipline of the rebels was strict, and secondly, they surrendered everywhere, so it can be said that if they want to kill, they have nowhere to kill.

Many young doctors were not harassed, so Qian Qianyi also had the intention of watching the limelight at home.

It's just that on this day, Qian Qianyi's abacus was wrong.

Thousands of iron horsemen went to the countryside, almost blocking the roads in the countryside, and everywhere they passed, they could only see the cavalry, but they could not see the villagers. When the people saw this, they did not dare to go out into the streets, but they hid in their homes to see where the cavalry was going.

The Qian family has a very strong latent force in the local area, so before the army arrived in Yushan, Qian Qianyi got the news, but he didn't know that he was looking for himself, and when he found that this iron horse was coming straight towards his house, he couldn't run anymore.

was forced to stay at home.

In the Qianyun Tower, Qian Qianyi's face was pale, pacing back and forth, and he kept saying, "How should this be?" ”

Liu Ru was a little heroic, and said: "Why should the husband be like this, the thief is here, but there are two meanings, either he is here to kill the husband, or he is to ask the husband to take up a false position, no matter what, if they don't see it, can they still kill the door?" ”

"The thief doesn't reason with you." Qian Qianyi said with a wry smile.

"It's just a death." Liu said: "Name is important. ”

Liu Ru looked left and right, pulled out a piece of white cloth from the side, stretched out his hand to tear it, and with a stabbing sound, the white cloth was torn from the middle, revealing a lot of threads, tying the white cloth at both ends and throwing it over the beam. After tying it up, pull it hard and feel that it can hang a person, so I move the stool over. said: "The concubine body will definitely not be as good as the Qian family." Go first. ”

With a "plop", the stool was kicked over by Liu Ru. Liu Ru is whole person hangs on the white silk, and she can't stop struggling, this is human instinct, and no one can avoid it.

Qian Qianyi woke up like a dream, and immediately stepped forward to hug Liu Ruyi, and shouted, "Come on, don't put your wife down yet." ”

Several maids worked with Qian Qianyi to pluck Liu Ru from under the white silk.

Although Liu Ruyi just hung up for a while, he also felt that he couldn't breathe, and coughed violently, Qian Qianyi hugged Liu Ruyi, patted him on the back, and said, "What are you doing, things haven't come to this point yet." Just as Qian Qianyi was comforting Liu Ruyi, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and a family member came in and said, "Master, the thieves outside surrounded the house, and someone knocked on the door to send this famous thorn." ”
