After Zhang Bin firmly controlled the court, he personally led the Fuguang army to Huaiqing Mansion, preparing to start encircling and suppressing the rebels and quelling the rebellion within the Ming Dynasty.

However, his first target was not Li Zicheng, nor Zhang Xianzhong, nor the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, but Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ming Army, because Zuo Liangyu has been transformed into a warlord, and he disobeys the orders of the imperial court.

At this time, Zhang Bin had a total of 130,000 troops under his command, and the Fuguang Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry were the elite of the elite, and it was more than enough to clean up Zuo Liangyu, but he didn't want to start a war with Zuo Liangyu and consume his troops in infighting, he wanted to find an excuse to lure Zuo Liangyu to Huaiqing Mansion and take it down in one fell swoop, so that he didn't have to make a tragedy about his own people beating his own people.

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good way, because this guy didn't even dare to see Zu Dabi, so how could he come to see him?

This question is indeed very troublesome, Zuo Liangyu is too cautious in doing things, and it is almost impossible to get him over, so what should I do, could I just spare him like this and go to clean up Li Zicheng instead?

This is naturally impossible, Zuo Liangyu, the warlord, must be cleaned up first, otherwise, in order to dominate one side, this guy will not only not help himself, but also very likely to block himself!

Now that this guy has made it clear that it is impossible to come to see him, and he doesn't want to raise an army to fight him, what should he do?

Zhang Bin thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take the risk himself, since this guy didn't dare to come to see him, then he had to go over to visit!

Zuo Liangyu is in Xingyang, he has already investigated this clearly, but Xingyang has nearly 30,000 elite Shanxi army garrisons, and he must have delivered food alone, even if he brought thousands of relatives and guards over, it is estimated that it is dangerous, so it is definitely not okay to run over recklessly, and he needs to use some strategy.

In fact, a large part of the reason why he brought 80,000 Fuguang troops and 50,000 Guan Ning Tieqi was because he wanted to clean up Zuo Liangyu, the warlord, if it was just to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, it would be almost enough for Ning Tieqi and the white pole soldiers of the Sichuan army, and he would bring more than 20,000 or 30,000 elites at most.

Of course, it will definitely not work for him to go over with more than 100,000 troops, Zuo Liangyu is not a fool, he took more than 100,000 troops not to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng but ran to him, not to clean him up, what are you going to do!

If he knew that he was rushing to Xingyang with a large army, he would definitely roll up his bunks and escape, and it would be difficult to find him at that time, let alone clean him up.

At this time, if you want not to arouse Zuo Liangyu's suspicion, you need to plan well.

It didn't take long for Zuo Liangyu to receive a handwritten letter from Zhang Bin, the first assistant of the cabinet and the governor of the five provinces, which mainly talked about the plan to encircle and suppress the anti-thief Li Zicheng.

At this time, Li Zicheng's main army was gathering near Chenliu, south of Kaifeng, and it seemed that he wanted to attack Kaifeng City.

Zhang Bin wanted Zuo Liangyu to lead the Shanxi army to move south, take Xinzheng, Fugou and Taikang, and block Li Zicheng's passage to flee to the southwest, while the Fuguang army and Guanning Iron Cavalry set out from Xiuwu, passed through Yuanwu, Zhongmu and Kaifeng, and directly took Chenliu.

In fact, this is Zhang Bin's heart in Kuanzuo Liangyu, because Yuanwu and Zhongmu are more than 200 miles away from Xingyang, which is equivalent to rubbing Zuo Liangyu's territory, and choosing to march in these two places is definitely not to clean him up.

At the end of the letter, it was also mentioned that in the past two months, the imperial court was carrying out a major plan for Beijing Inspection, and Chen Xinjia, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lu Xiangsheng, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, had just taken office, and he was busy with everything, so he didn't have time to allocate food and salary to him, so please don't mind.

This time, the military department has already transferred the food and salary for the first two months, and it also has this month and the next month, if he is in a hurry, he can immediately bring someone to collect it, if he is not in a hurry, he will be escorted by the Fuguang army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Zhang Bin also asked him if there were many thieves in the vicinity of Xingyang, and how many people would be appropriate if the four months' food and salary were arranged by the Fuguang Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Zuo Liangyu was finally relieved to receive Zhang Bin's letter, of course he knew that Zhang Bin had personally led 80,000 Fuguang troops to Xiuwu, as for whether he came to clean up Li Zicheng or to clean him up.

Now it seems that Zhang Bin is not here to clean him up, but to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, the reason why this Shoufu Lord gave him four months' food and salary at one time is to appease him and let him lead the army to help surround Li Zicheng's main army.

This is no problem, it's easy to say if you give money, I'm afraid that if you don't give money, you will also collect my military power, the military department has not paid him food and salary for two months, and he thought that the court wanted to clean him up.

Although he occupies a radius of nearly 500 miles in the Central Plains, where there is a lot of arable land, there is no rain on this day, even if there are hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, he can't produce much grain, and if the imperial court cuts off his food salary, then it will be difficult for the more than 100,000 people under his command to feed.

Fortunately, fortunately, the imperial court didn't mean this, he still had a bit of a deterrent effect with these tens of thousands of Shanxi troops, no, even Lord Shoufu personally wrote a letter to "beg" him.

As for waving the army south, taking Xinzheng, Fugou and Taikang, there is no problem at all.

He has already investigated clearly, there are not many anti-thieves in Xinzheng, Fugou and Taikang, and there are more than 10,000 anti-thieves in each city, and it is not difficult to take them down, he also wants to take down these territories, before, he was afraid that Li Zicheng would lead the main army to fight with him, but now it is okay, the main army of the imperial court is coming, Li Zicheng is afraid that it will be too late to escape, and he will definitely not find him to fight hard, and it is the right time to take Xinzheng, Fugou and Taikang!

He gladly accepted Zhang Bin's "order" and expressed his willingness to lead the army south, but his troops were limited, so he still asked the Fuguang army and Guanning Iron Cavalry to escort the grain and grass, and there were not many thieves near Xingyang, so there were more than 10,000 men and horses to escort it.

He thought that Zhang Bin was jealous of his tens of thousands of Shanxi troops, tacitly acknowledged his behavior of disobedience to yang and yin, paid money to appease him, and let him do things for the imperial court, so he completely put his mind at ease, and the vigilance of the Fuguang army and the Guanning iron cavalry was not so strict, if there was no Zhang Bin's letter, it was estimated that as soon as the Fuguang army and the Guanning iron cavalry moved south, he would be frightened to lead the army to Luoyang, and at this time Zhang Bin led the army to cross the Yellow River and arrived near Zhongmu, and he was still sitting in Xingyang, waiting for Zhang Bin to send him money and food.

Zhang Bin did send him money and grain, and after crossing the Yellow River, he sent 10,000 Fuguang troops to escort thousands of truckloads of grain to Xingyang, which was not ambiguous at all.

The grain and silver are real, and the Fuguang army is also quite friendly, Zuo Liangyu is finally completely relieved, but the food and salary of 50,000 people for four months is not something that can be delivered by thousands of carriages in one trip, at least four or five times.

Zuo Liangyu was full of joy waiting for Zhang Bin to send him money and food, but Zhang Bin had already begun to secretly arrange the arrest of Zuo Liangyu.
